Board of Trade CIosed.-J. R Scott,
manager OF the Moline board Of trade
Office in the Manufacturers hotel
building, arrived in this city yesterday
in response to a hurry-up call received
during two weeks tour Of the west,
and received something OF a shock on
finding Mondays stock and grain quo
tations still remaining on the boards
in his Office, and ticker and leased
wire silent. The cause of the trouble
Is partly explained in the following
telegram, received by the local board
of trade early in the week and handed
to Mr.. Scott on his return home: I'm
expected contingency necessitating
the cessation of our business compeIs
US to close all contracts open for your
account at the close of business today,
June 10. The balances will be wired
at once" (Signed) Merchants Stock
and Grain company. The company
that forwarded the telegram is alleged
TO be one of the largest bucket shops"
in the country, doing business in 300
different cities. All these Offices have
been forced to close because the West
ern Union Telegraph company has sud
Uenly WItnQTdWn the ledSSQ wire SerV-
ice of the grain exchange. The cause
is said to. be injunctfons secured
against the telegraph company by At
torney General Wickersham. Manager
Scott kept the long distance wire hot
after his arrival and expects to enter
into contract with an Omaha house
with the expectation that service will
be restored by tomorrow. He is con-
ferring with managers of the Musca-
tine and Rock Island trade boards,
also members of the Merchants Grain
exchange. The likelihood is that all
three will bolt the ST Louis people
and transfer their business to Omaha.

Federal Court VacateS Injunction
Against Curtiss and PauIhan.
New York, June 16.-Orville and
Wilbur Wright lost a point yester-
day in their court fight to protect
patents covering their aeroplane
from alleged heterogeneous by Glenn
H. Curtiss and Louis Paulhan,
French aviator. The United States
court of appeals vacated the tenn
porary injunctions obtained by the
Wright company against Paulhan
and the Herring-Curtiss company,
pending the trial of suits which de-
termined whether there are any in
fringements in fact.
What is regarded as the most i'm
portant feature of the vacation of
the injunction is the effect upon the
agreement between the Wrights and
the Aero Club of America, regulat-
ing aviation meets in this country.
1t is believed that the agreement
was abrogated by the court action
and will open the doors of America
to all aviators regardless of condi-
lions imposed by the Wright COM
pany.

your face and give 1t color and ex-
preston. There is nothing that will
quite equal this home made tonic
for restoring lost appetite, putting
the stomach and liver in order and
for toning up the system generally.
Airline: If you find face powder
so unsatisfactory to use as warm
weather approaches, since it seems
to clog up the pores of the skin, try
a lotion made by dissolving four
ounces of spurmax in half pint hot
water, adding two teaspoonfuls glyc-
crime. This lotion is inexpensive and
when applied to your face and arms
will not show or rub off like powder.
it will free the complexion from
freckles, tan, sunburn and make any
shiny, sallow, muddy skin beautiful
by giving it a youthful, pinkish ap-
pearance. This is the best complex
ion beautifier 1 have ever seen.
"Tfred Eyes" Where your eyes
appear inf1amed and continually have
that tired, overworked feeling, you
should lose no time in treating them
with a good, strengthening tonic
Get an ounce of crystos, dissolve it
in half pint water and drop a few
drops in each eye occasionally. AL
though a very simple remedy, you
will find 1t the best. 1t will not
smart the eyes, but is very sooth-
ing. 1 find it excellent for relieving
eye pain and weak, watery eyes, and
it is a great aid to those who wear
glasses.
B. L.: The rate at which you have
taken on excess flesh need not alarm
you. You can easily remove sthis
annoying fat by making harmless
reducer from four ounces parnotis
dissolved in 1 y pints warm water,
and taking a tablespoonful before
each meal. This should restore your
former slender figure in a few weeks.
1t is in no way Injurious and does
not leave the skin flabby and wrink-
led.
B. K. E.: The only hair tonic 1
know which will really destroy the
dandruff in your scalp. stop your
hair from coming out, check the brit
tISuSsS anu put YOUR SCdlp III a
healthy condition is one you can
prepare yourself. Simply get an
ounce of quinzoin and dissolve it in
a half pint of alcohol, then add one
half pint cold water. It is a waste
of money to buy most hair tonics, as
they do no good, but by using this
one about twice a week, rubbing it
gently into the roots of your hair,
you will be delighted to see how
bright and healthy your hair will
soon become. This quinine tonic
makes fine dressing for the hair
and will not cause it to become
stringy, dull or matted as most tom
les do.

THE WOMAN AND FARM LIFE
Making Child a Country.

Mrs. Grace G. Durand, who has de
veloped an unusually fine dairy bust
ness in Lake county, spoke at the Ur-
bana conference on agriculture in the
common schools, in part as follows:
Woman, mother, the farm, the boy,
the girl! "A picture of the perfect life
presents itself before me- The whole
joy of life centers about the woman.
She is the sustaining, the influencing
force of every household. Good moth
ers, good wonderland we have the
secret of life manifested. The great
est resources and the greatest conser-
walton in the world are those of human
forces. Conservation Of the boy and
girl-to conserve, to develop powers
in the boy and girl l believe it the
duty of every mother, of every teacher,
of everyone coming in contact with
the child, to bring out in that child
from the very first unfolding Of his
mentality, a love of nature, a love of
plant and animal life, whether in the
city, town or country school, The boy
and girl from the frst lesson should
begin with nature study, surrounded
with flowers or plant life, punches of
grain or grasses, colored pictures of
birds
Agriculture Begins with Mother.
The mother at home should walk out
with the little child and pick the wild
flowers or listen to the warbler's song.

Madge: Very frequently a dark,
coarse-looking complexion comes
from the failure of soap and water
to remove all dirt from the pores
of the skin. If you will dissolve an
ounce of almozoin in a half pint of
cold water, then add two teaspoon
fuls glycerine, stir and allow to
stand a few hours, you will have
splendid cream jelly for clearing up
your skin. This cream is greaseless
and will not cause hair to grow on
the face. / find it excellent for soft
ing and smoothening the skin and
for reducing the size of large pores.
1t is fine for massaging to remove
wrinkles and If you will use it reg
ularly you will soon have a charm
ing velvety complexion.
A H. c.: You say you used della
tone last summer to remove super
f1uous hair from your face and fore
arms, but that it has grown again,
very light and thin. This is the ex-
perience of many who have used del
atone. One application is not al
ways sufficient to permanently re-
move the annoying hair. Mix lit
tie delatone with enough water to
make a paste and cover with 1t the
skin from which you wish to remove
the hair. Let 1t remain two or three
minutes; then wipe off and wash
with warm water. This second ap-
plication will be effective and the
hairs will not return.
Bernice :: Your hair will never
look its best and be easy to do up as
long as you continue to shampoo with
soap. The alkali in soap and most
ready prepared shampoos eats the
very life out of your hair, makes it
harsh and brittle, and causes those
faded, discolored streaks you speak
Of. Most shampoos simply remove
the oil and dirt from the hair, but
do not take out the dirt from the
hair roots which causes itching
scalp, dandruff and finally dead, fall
Ing hair with split ends. If you
will shampoo your hair with a tea
spoonful OF canthrox dissolved in a
cup of hot water you will find it most
delightful This shampoo produces
a rich, creamy 1ather that cleanses
thoroughly, dries quickly and leaves
the hair soft, fluffy and the scalp
feeling fresh. This is by far the best
shampoo 1 ever tried and my friends,
to whom have recommended it,
tell me it is simply splendid.
Jane R.: Your sallow, pimply COM
plexion comes from impure blood
You should not neglect this any
longer Make a good system tonic

half cup sugar and one ounce kar-
dene in one-half pint alcohol. adding
enough boiling water to make full

fore each meal, and it will clear up

between 1900 and 1905 exceeding five
billion dollars. The growth in gross
earnings of railroads, which mean the
gross charges, since 1900 has been
more than enough to pay off the in
terest bearing national debt as indi-
Gated by the following comparison:
1900 Observation-Disclosures 81, SIS, $50 $50
1907 Observation-Disclosures. 2,649, 731, oil
increase ........ 81, 100, 161 ,0s1
Some Striking Figures.
ITO drive home the fact that trans
portation costs the people enormously,
take the case OF one system, the Penn
sylvania. It's gross earnings in 1907
were 1926, $50, a larger sum than
the ordinary receipts of the United
States itself in 1879, which were only
1922 ,056,S77. The evil of the over
capitalization of railroads, telegraph,
telephone and industrial companies Is
great, but there are other evils con-
nected with transportation which are
less excusable, viz: the organization
of subsidiary or auxiliary companies
to control terminals in cities and on
water fronts, to build bridges, to oper-
ate private car lines, sleeping cars,
etc. Some of these, like over capitali-
zation are used either to deceive the
public in the matter of charges and
dividends or to plumber stockholders
Or shippers, and in either event, the
consumer pays the bill"
Rough for Ship Subsidy.
THE ship subsidy boomers are hav-
ing rough shedding in this congress"
said Minority Leader Champ Clark,
when asked whether he thought the
$4,000, 900 ship subsidy bill would be
passed.
Most folks hereabouts think the
ship subsidy scheme is dead" said
Mr. Clark. This grows chiefly out
of two facts: First, the splendid serv-
ice of the democratic minority mem
bers of the committee on merchant
marine and fisheries. They are all ex-
cellent men. The ranking democrat
on that committee is Captain Spight
of Mississippi. He has served on it
several years and has given a great
deal of study to the subject, having
mastered it thoroughly.
Should we elect the next house the
chances are 10 to L that. he would be
chairman of that important committee,
no matter who is speaker or how the
committees are selected
Judge Alexander of Missouri, a
member of the committee, delivered a
speech on. the subject which every
voter in the land should read.
Second. the Stevenson resolution
and the investigation which he started
into the charges made against him
and other members by The American
Flag have also had much to do in put
ting the ship subsidy crowd out of
business.
I'm slandering men of high charac-
ter the subsidy boomers overshot the
mark. One of them has been indicted,
but has not yet been tried"

Mayor Recognizes Health Board
Tuesdays board OF health meeting de-
veloped the fact that Mayor Mueller
has decided to recognize it's members
as hold-over board. and not to fur
Their press the appointment Of a new
board Up to the present time Mayor
Mueller had announced the appoint
ment of Aldermen Kuehl and Wiese
End ex-Alderman Charles Lindholm as
Schroeder original, and at the last
meeting DR.. George Middleton as ply
Bician member. The six democratic
members of the council had as firmly
stood upon their legal rights and re-
fused to approve. The main issue at
stake was the appointment OF city ply
stefan. While the dispute was on, the
mayor had declined to sign the pay
warrants of City Physician Stocks.
The deadlock could not go on forever.
Both the mayor and council recognize
that the board OF health IS one Of the
most important arms OF the city admin
istration. But the six aldermen plain
iy held the winning hand. They could
so as to place the appointment of the
board and city physician entirely in
the hands of the council. This move
was already talked of Recognizing
that this would not only take from him
but his successors in office a power
which he believed should rest with the
mayor, Mayor Mueller decided that it
was time to concede that he could not
better affairs by giving the council a
light for its money. He therefore an
nounced his intention of recognizing
The present board as a hold-over board,
and OF working with IL as it's chairman
for the best interests of the city. So
The last has probably been heard OF
the contest over board of health ap-
pointments under the present admin
