NEW WOOL BILL
PASSED BY HOUSE
Adopts Conference Agreement
on Revision Measure.
TAFT VETO NEAR AT HAND
Vote Is FOG to 9o-Thirty-One Repub.
icans Join Democrats-Cotton
Bill Debated Without Action
Free List Up Next.

Washington, D. C.-The house,
by vote of 206 to 80, without Demo
crat breaking the party alignment,
wool tariff revision bill and rushed it
over TO the senate, where it was hung
up on the calender for passage.
For this measure, which imposes a
fat and ad valorem duty Of 20 per
cent. on all raw woods, with CORE
spending reduced rates on wooden
manufactures, the other two tariff
measures will be side-tracked and
wool will be given right Of way to the
White House for the expected veto.
On the veto depends the further
program of the house Democrats and
the senate Democrats and progressive
Republicans, including the formula
ton of plans for speedy adjourn
ment.
Mr.. Underwood, Democratic leader
Of the house, in expressing the opin-
ion that final adjournment would not
come before next week, said he did
not expect congress to stay after the
pending bills had been disposed of
unless the senate determines to
stay and act on the cotton BILL
That bill, which makes an average
cut Of 81 per cent. in cotton duties,
was debated without action In the
senate. 1t already has passed the
house.
The free list bill was put in such
shape that it could be considered in
the senate as conference report If
consideration of the wool bill should
be delayed. The conferees disagreed
as to two vital amendments, but
these, according to the plans of the
Headers, will be speedily adjusted by
the two houses without the necessity
of returning the bill to conference.

DECLARES PERKINS
CAUSED THE PANIC
Head of Trust Company of America
Makes Statement-Before Steel
Committee.

Washington. - Oakleigh Thorne,
president Of the Trust Company Of
America, charged George w. Perkins
with responsibility for the run on his
concern during the panic Of 1907.
1t was in consequence Of the run
on the Trust Company of America that
the steel trust absorbed Tennessee
Coal and Iron. The allegation is that
the latter movement was necessary to
save the trust company from going
to the wall.
According to Mr.. Thorne, who testi-
fed at the hearing of the Stanley
steel Investigating committee, it was
through Mr. Perkins that a statement
was given to a newspaper that the
Trust Company of America was a
"sore spot" in the panic situation. but
that aid would be given it.
Less than two hours before this
statement is alleged to have been
made, Mr.. Thorne swore he had told
Mr.. Perkins that the trust company
was in good shape. The publication.
Mr.. Thorne said, started run on his
concern, which had to borrow $27,-
100000 to save itself. The absorption
of the Tennessee Coal and Iron COM
pany followed in the excitement. This
was the concern whose collapse it was
reported to Roosevelt would bring
down the pillars of the financial tenn
pie.

HEAVY CROP LOSSES REPORTED.
Corn Yield Shrinking Approximately
Third of Billion Bushels.

SoTn fIclo shrinking approximately
Third Of Billion Bushels.
Washington.-The greatest decline
in the condition of crops during a
single month since 1904 general
slump throughout the country. due to
drought and intense heats indicat.
ed in the government crop report for
August, published by the department
of agriculture.
An analysis of the report and COM
PARSONS with those of previous years
show that there probably never has
been month in the history Of crop
reporting when the losses during any
one month in all crops have been as
great as during July. Until the latter
part Of the month the drought over
the great part of the corn belt was
unbroken. while intense heat added
greatly to the damage.
The promise of the corn crop Is cut
down 49,, 100000 bushels. according
to the report.
The spring wheat yield is brought
down from 100000 bushels to an
indicated crop of only 209, 575, 900
bushels. There was serious loss In
condition Of the oats crop, the sug-
gested yield being 818.0O0,000 bushels,
or 309,000,000 bushels less than the
big crop of last year.

Similar notices were also mailed to

ROB MILTON JUNCTION BANK
Yeggmen Crack Safe and Secure
5000 in Stamps and Jewelry-
Suspect Milwaukee Crooks.

Milton unction.-Thieves broke
into and robbed the state bank here
and pillaged the store of w. H. Gates.
-Four hundred dollars in stamps and
$40 government funds were secured,
as well as five gold watches and SO
in cash belonging to Mr.. Gates, who
owns jewelry store.
The stamps and government. money
were taken from the same safe as
the jewelry. The robbers knocked
the combination lever off the safe and
broke a hole into it.
1t is thought that the yeggmen
went to Milwaukee, as two men were
seen taking a night freight train
bound for that place.
The bank was the local postoffice' s
depository.

Several Good Tooth Washes.

Peroxide of hydrogen is good anti
septic tooth mouth wash and it also
helps to whiten yellow teeth. Di-
luted alcohol is also refreshing and
powdered pumice stone used once in
awhile is excellent for removing
stains. An OCCASIONAL cleansing of the
teeth with salt is beneficial. The gums
should also be rubbed. Teeth cannot
be beautiful unless they are healthy,
and they cannot be healthy unless
they are well cared for. If you neg
lect them they revenge themselves by
aching, becoming discolored or crumb-
ling away. Brushing the teeth three
times a day-after breakfast, lunch
and after dinner-will preserve them.
