Bailey's Free List Defeated.

Washington, July Ex-senator
Bailey s free list amendment to
the Canadian reciprocity bill das
defeated in th esenate today by
large majority. So evident was
the margin against it that Sena-
tor Bailey did not ask for roll
call.
Pursuing the policy of forcing
the opponents of reciprocity to
proceed without delay, Senator
Penrose urged Senator Bailey to
introduce his wool tariff amend
ment at once The latter did so
and the senate adjourned with
the amendment pending. 1t is
modification Of the wool tariff
bill recently passed by the house,
and places all duties on raw and
manufactured wool at general
average Of 30 per cent.
The consideration of the reel
procity bill is expected to move
with rapidity from now on. The
wool amendment probably will be
disposed of tomorrow.

father declared Frank l.. Neale
of Philadelphia, steaship and
railroad shipping broker, in pro-
testing to the house sugar inves-
tigating committee today against
what he terms a discrimination
in freight rates against Philadel-
phia s sugar business. He did not
lay this discrimination expressly
at the door of any interest. He
contended that distance from re-
fineries should control the freight
and consequently the selling
price Of sugar.
Mr.. Neale said he believed rail
road rates now were honestly adj
hered to, but he was not so sure
as to what was done where the
trust had lighterage arrange

the sugar refining business, from
Philadelphia to New York, al
though Philadelphia received an
ADVANTAGE in Freight rates TO

had better water facilities. He
referred to the Brooklyn termi-

The spot light shifted frequent
ly yesterday in the inquiry into
the shooting of w. u. ID. Stokes,
the millionaire hotel man. After
it had rested on Ethel Conrad
and Lillian Graham until they
had been bound over in $50, 900
bail each for a grand jury inves-
tigation, it was focused briefly
upon James Cummings, Stoke y
private detective. Cummings was
examined in the investigation of
how important letters from Stoke
to Miss Graham had disappeared,
but the court later dismissed
these proceedings.
The testimony indicated ther
had been originally two bundles
of the Stokes letters. One tied
with wide red ribbon was pro-
duced in court. The other pack
age, tied with narrow pink rib
bon, is the one which Robert w.
Moore, the young woman $ coun-
sci, declares contains the import

bundle was picked up, handled
and tossed back into Miss Gra-
hams trunk by detectives on
the day following the shooting,
according to the testimony Of
John Bloom, superintendent Of
the apartment house where Miss
Graham lived.
Charges were made today
against four city detectives in
connection with the disappear
anee of the letters, and their
trial was fixed for Thursday.

ANOTHER PURE
FOOD LAW SUIT
CEREAL COMPANY ENJolNS THE
STATE OFFICERS
AGENTS VISIT WHOLESALE DEALERS
comany Secures Temporary Re-
straining Order From
interfering.

Chester III. Aldrich, governor Of
Nebraska, and William r.. Jack
son, deputy food commissioner,
were Tuesday made defendants
in an action instituted in the
district court of Lancaster coun-
ty, the Minneapolis Cereal Com
pany securing a temporary re-
straining order, ofrbidding the
officials mentioned from interfer-
ing with it in the sale of break
fast food manufactured by it,
and from enforcing or attempt
ing to enforce that portion of the
pure food law which forbids the
giving of any present or premiuRa
with any food porduct.
In its petition the plaintiff al
leges that it is the manufacturer
Of breakfast food and that its
product has an extensive sale in
the state of Nebraska and in
Lancasrte county; that the gov
ernor is the food commissioner
of the state and that the defend
ant jackson is the deputy com
missioner; that they have APP
pointed and have working under
them a large number OF deputies,
whose names are to plaintiff un-
known. ~
1t is further charged that de-
PENDANTS and their deputies and
agents have visited numerous
wholesale dealers in Lincoln and
elsewhere and instructed and
warned them that the product Of
plaintiff can not be legally sold
in Nebraska for the reason that
such is in violation of that sec
ton of the pure food law forbid
ding the giving of gifts or prem
iums. Wholesale and retail deal
ers, it is said, have been warned
that to continue the sale of the
product of plaintiff would sub
iect dealers to arrest and prose
cution. The plaintiff gives with
each package of its food silver
spoon.
The attention of the court is
called to the fact that in the
case of the state VS.. James r.
Bnrleigh,. the district coslrt of
Lancaster county, in July, 1909,
held that section of the pure
food law which defendants arc
now attempting to enforce, to be
unconstitutional. This judgement
was never appealed from and
therefore stands as the law at
the present time. Burleigh was
arrested Off giving a coupon with
a package of food. He institut
ed habeas corpus proceedings and
obtained his liberty, of which the
court held he was unlawfully de-
prived. The section of the law
under which he was prosecuted
was held to be void.
The plaintiff in the present ac-
tlon asserts that to enforce the
law in the manner now being
done by the defendants would
irreparably injure its business
and that it has no adequate rem
edy under the law. An injunction
is therefore asked for.

Der of the state senate in 1907

fight for the enactment of the

whether it is over or not. A little
patience viii do wonders for hlm.
Woods was in the luck to get
away without being scored on in
the fourth inning of the last
Maryville game. Three hits in
succession were made off him
with none out, but fine double
play pulled him out of the hole.
For Auburn to be among the
leaders is the joke of the league.
Auburn has four good players
and the rest are Of very ordin-
ary ability. Shenandoah is fifty
per cent superior and is the only
team capable of giving Falls
City an argument.
Be sure and attend the home
games this week and root for the
home team. When our boys are
in Auburn the crowds never quit
them the slightest encouragement
or applause no matter how SEN
sational they play. Auburn ney-
er has kind thought Of our
team or our city and it's time
our people got wise.
At the time Of writing it is not
known whether Humboldt will
get the Maryville franchise, but
whether she does or not you will
will have to doff your cap to our
west end sister. To go out in
onea fternoon and raise enough
money to support a Mink league
team is an evidence Of public
spirit that would be creditable to
a city several times as large as
Humboldt.
Notwithstanding Humboldt is
the smallest town in the league
we venture the assertion that it
will lack great deal of turning
out, the smallest crowds. Another
thing about Humboldt, it isn't
gutter; if things break badly, as
they always do before the sea-
son is over, you will find our
neighboring town taking her medi-
cine with smile and coming
back for more.

President Johnson's cabinet, wheh
in 1864, during the Civil WAR;
troops ruined all q: the crops
have brought suit against the gov
ernment in the Court of Claims at
Washington, for $1,000 damages.
The farm, which contained about
200 acres, was located about two
miles out of Baltimore.
A bill was passed in Congress
recently authorizing-khis suit to be
brought, as is necessary before
the government can be sued. Ber-
nard Moore died here some years
ago, and his sons, John and
Frank, have lived in Newark -l
their lives and are employed in
the Thomas wall paper factory.
During his life time Mr.. Moore
had talked of suing the govern
ment for damages done by the
raids made on his crops by the
troops, but the suit was never
started. His sons, however, de-
cided to bring the action and have
engaged Charles B. Evans of this
town, and Fulton, Lechie & Cox,
OF Washington to represent them.
They claim that in the summer
OF 1904 the Sixth Maryland Regei-
ment and Company F of the Dis
trict of Columbia were encamped
on the farm and that the soldiers
ruined all the crops by tramping
them down and other means and
also that four horses and three
COWS were taken away which were
never returned, which caused a
loss of $1,000 to their fathers es-
tate.
Several days ago the testimony
of six old soldiers, from Havre de
Grace, Elktor, Chester and New
ark was taken before Samuel N.
Donnell, notary public. They
all testified to being with the
Maryland or District of Columbia
soldiers, that camped on the John
son farm and to the crops being
ruined.
There is other testimony yet to
be taken, but the splaintics feel
confident that they will now even
tually get paid by the government
for the damage done by the troops
to their fathers property. The
government was also represented
by counsel at the hearing here.

Death Is Only A Drean

CA favorite hymn of Elder Eu-
banks printed by request)
Sadly we sing and with tremulous
breath,
AS we stand by the mystic
stream,
In the valley, and by the dark
river of death;
And yet It's no more than a
dream. :,
(Chorus)
Only dream, only dream,
And glory beyond the dark
stream;
How peaceful the slumber, how
happy the waking,
For death is only dream. E
Why should we weep when the
weary ones rest
In the bosom of Jesus supreme
In mansions of glory, prepared for:
the blest ? -
For death is only dream.
(Chorus) ~
Naught is the river that saints
should appal, II.
Though it rightfully dismal may
seem,
In the arms of their Saw Our no i'll
can befall;
They find it no more than a
dream.
(Chorus)
Over the turpid and on-rushing
tide
Doth the light of eternity gleain
And the ransomed, the darkness
and storm shall outride,
To wake with glad smiles from
their dream.
(Chorus)
