THE U. s. GOVERNMENT in it

Pure Food Law does not "indorse" or guarantee" any preparation. as some manufacturers in their advertise ments would make it appear. In the case of medicines the law provides that certain drugs shall be mentioned on the labels if they are ingredients of the preparations. Ely's Cream Balm. the welI-known family remedy for cold in the head, hay fever and nasal ca tarrh. doesn't contain single injur- ious drug, so the makers have simply to print the fact that it complies fully with all the requirements of the law.

IN A FAR
COUNTRY
By Temple Bailey

(Copyrighted. 1870. by Associated Literary ,ess
Over her cakes and coffee Cynthia
admitted her inconsistencies. Paris
was the place of her dreams. She
had thought her little home town
dull. but it was nothing to this
dreary waste of cathedrals and art
galleries, with every one speaking q
strange language.
Everett Batcheller had told her
how 1t would be. but Cynthia had had
her mind set on year abroad, and
she had scraped and saved, and had
ut least attained tho fulnllment of
her desire.
But. in her planning, she had for
gotten to provide for friendships.
Cynthia was a friendly little soul,
and all her life she had had neigh
bors and church associates who car
ried her of to meetings. and club
colleagues who consulted her abost
things. At home she was . very
much occupied and rather important
person.
But here she was nothing. The
people at the boarding house turned
up their noses at her. and an English
girl had openly insulted her on the
Fourth Of July.
Cynthia had written to Everett OF
the latter incident.
But Everett was not entirely sym.

The days were cool, and, with the
magazines from home, and some SIM

days happily.

In her letters to Everett. however.
she still kept up her semblance Of
sightseeing enthusiasm. "I'm not 60

decided.
But he did not crow over me. for
suddenly his weekly letters ceased
and Cynthia began to realize. after q
month Of silence. that 1t had been his
letters that had kept her content.
II can't understand" she said ono

''FIe has probably found somebody
else. No man 10 going to stand being

Under cover Of darkness Cynthia
wept little. She began to under
stand what Everett had really meant
to her. She knew now that the
vision of her future had always
shown her in a circle of friendly
faces in her home town. with Everett
by her side.
He was so much in her thoughts
that when he walked one morning
into the Paris apartment, she met
him without surprise.
"Oh, dear. I have wanted you SO, "
she said.
II knew it." was his sympathetic
response. "You and belong to each

U. S. IN BANK CRAFT PROBE
IPITTsBuRo INQUIRY is MADE BY
SECRET SERVICE MEN.
Councilman Stewart Is Before Grand
Jury--lndictments of Bankers
Are Expected.

Pittsburg, Pa, Mar. 30.-AdditiOnal
officials of city repositories testified
before the graft investigating grand
jury. Meantime a report has gained
credenCe that the United States gov
eminent had taken a hand in the la
test graft Investigations.
Two special agents from the depart
ment OF Justice have been in the city
a week. II is said their reports con
tain startling facts as yet untold.
Both, however, refused to discuss
their mission.
In the grand jury inquiry most Of
the questioning of bank officials is
being carried on by Harrison Nesbit,
jury foreman, who, as national bank
examiner, first unearthed the scandal.
Nesbit is thoroughly familiar with the
| bank transactions. He examined a
number of the institutions when he
was in the employ of the federal gov.
ernment.
Select Councilman Charles Stewart
| reported to hold the key to the graft
| situation, was a witness before the

the district attorney it is said he
withheld the name of the man who
handed him $4,000 to corrupt city
councils. 1t is believed he is being
given full opportunity now to state
his case. His testimony will aid the

OIL TRUST CASE
MAY Be HALTED
Brewers Death Is Liable to
Cause Rehearing.
OTHER BIG SUITS INVOLVED
Supreme Court Now Has But Seven
Active Members, Justice Moody
Being IIl--Re-Arguments
Are Probable.

Washington, Mar. 30.-A rehearing
by the supreme court of the Standard
Oil, tobacco and corporation tax
cases is one of the possibilities grow
ing out of the sudden death Of Associ-
ate Justice Brewer.
The seven active members of the
court must decide. With Justice
Moody so i'll that his participation in
the deliberations of the court is out
of the question, and Justice Brewer
dead, there is bare possibility that
such unanimity may prevail among the
seven remaining justices as to enable
them to decide the pending cases
without question of injury to the inter-
ests of either side of the issues.
Re-Arsument Is Probable.
1t was observed by experienced
lawyers, however, that 1t is entirely
improbable that five or six or all of
the seven should agree on a decision
in favor either of the government or
Of the parties at issue on the other
side. In that case, therefore, it is re.
garded as likely that rather than de-
eide the cases by votes of four to
three or five to two when there were
| two absentees, the seven justices will
await the appointment of a successor
to Justice Brewer before rendering
the decisions, and even after that sum.
mon counsel for re-argument of the
| cases.
Naturally, none of the justices will
discuss any of these possibilities. At
torney General Wickersham regards a
re-argument as possible, but not at all
| probable.
1t is altogether likely, however, that
the decisions viii be withheld until a
successor to Justice Brewer is appoint
ed. There are several presidents, Il
was said at the Office of the clerk OF
court. fora justice to take his seal
and participate in a decision on a
mere reading of the brief filed in the
case. This would obviate the neces
sity of rehearing, and is likely to be
the method followed in the end.

Express Robbery.

Abba, Ia, March 30.-Special: A
theft of $4,000 in currency from the
Adams Express Company here on the
night of Friday, March %. has just
become public. The details OF the
theft are still not obtainable. Spe-
cial agents and detectives for the COM
pany have been working on the case
since the day the robbery was discoy-
cred but so far as is known no clews
have been uncovered.
The money was stolen from the ex-
press company's truck in the c., B. &c
Q. depot some time after the arrival
of Iowa Central passenger No. and
before the c., B. & @ train left at
about $3.50 the next morning on the
Des Moines branch. 1t is the custom
of the express company to take all
valuables destined out on the c., B..
& Q. that come in on the Iowa Central
from the north, to their office in the
c., B. & @. depot.
The inquiry into the theft was to-
day transferred from Abba to Oska-
loosa where it is understood that the
investigation will be continued by a
copule OF Pinkerton men assisting the
company officials. Every effort has
been put forth to keep the news and
the details from the newspapers.
