Washington, June 1.-The govern
ment came to the aid Of the manufac-
turers. shippers and consumers In
Western trunk line territory who Mon
day filed memorial with the depart
ment of justice asking that the rail-
roads be restrained on the plea that
they were unjust, from putting into
effect a proposed increase of rates
adopted by the Western Traffic asso.
citation. 1t also was contended that
the increases were the result Of an
agreement between the railroads con.
trary to law.
The representations made by the
Omaha committee created favorable
impression on the mind of Attorney
General Wickersham and after confer
ring with the president he decided that
United States District Judge Dyer at
Hannibal, Mo, be asked to issue re-
straining order, which was granted by
him.
The intimation was given that the
administration was determined to con-
tinue the fight on behalf of the manu-
facturers and shippers had the appli.
cation for restraining order been
denied. This, it is understood, was to
have been undertaken under the gen.
eral provision of the Sherman anti.
trust law alleging combination in
restrain of trade. Necessarily this
would have opened the door to pro-
longed litigation which would have
been met by resort Of the expedien.
tary act of congress. This law per
mits of the advance of cases of this
character for a hearing befoer the
United States circuit judges.
It was also pointed out that ship
pers have recourse under the Hepburn
law giving the right to individual ship
pers to institute proceedings for alleg.
ed unjust treatment in the matter Of
rates.
The filing of the bill followed day
of hurried conferences between Presi-
dent Taft and the attorney general
and the matter, it is understood, was
gone into at some length at the cabi-
net meeting. The result reached was
that action be instituted at once, as
the rates complained of had not the
restraining order been granted, would
have gone into effect. In the senate,
also, the question came up incidental.
ly when Senator La Toilette introduced
a resolution declaring it to be the
sense of that body that an injunction
should be asked for.

Within two miles of Crystal River
there is sulphur spring 1900 feet
deep, hot as one could bear to bathe
in, gushing through a pipe, leaving
prismatic colors all about. AT this
place a company was boring for oil
and after striking several springs with
more or less sulphur which they des-
pissed and passed, they came upon this
one and had stopped work for the time
being. This is most interesting
place to visit and on the way one can
stop at the wishing Well' and
drink the wonderful clear water while
wishing your dearest wish. 1t is quite
as efficacious as the famous Blarney
stone, if not more so.

Prayer or Profanity.

Lincoln had a host of good stories.
One Of his best was that about Andy
johnson and Colonel Moody, the
fighting Methodist parson.
Moody was in Nashville" said
Lincoln, "when it was reported that
Buel had decided to evacuate the city
on account of the threatening ap-
proach of the Confederates. At last
Moody found Johson in his office.
Moody said johnson, 'can you
pray?
That's my business replied the
Colonel.
Then pray commanded johnson.
They knelt down and Moody pray
ed fervently, to which johnson snb-
scribed a hearty amen.
Il feel better johnson said. But
oh, Moody, | don't want you to think

Are PASSING Away.

The gold dollar in the United
States has practically gone out of cir
culation and now it is rumored that
the silver dollar is likely to follow it
at least to some extent into its innoc-
uous desuetude. The reason for this
seems to be simply that the govern
ment has ceased its practice Of paying
the expressage on the shipments Of sill
yer dollars. Banks, therefore, prefer
the currency, which is so much light
er, and in many sections Of the coun-
try in greater demand at their win
d)Ws.
