With a large clerical force work
ing out an enormous scheme of
financial statistics, the house com

land H. Dodge, John d. Rockefell-
Ell, and practically every other fin
ancier prominent in New YORK

questioned by the committee in Its
efforts to discover whether a small
group of rich men has controlling

cial and industrial institution in the
country and tracing the relation OF
each individual concern to other
concerns. This compilation will be
used as a basis for the examina-
ton of witnesses with view of de-
termining the exact influence exert

WarburtOn's Novel Road Scheme.

Congressman WarburtOn of the
second congressional district will
introduce at the opening of congress
next month bill providing for the
construction of a great network of
paved roads connecting all state
capitals with each other and with
the national capital. The roads are
to be paved sixteen feet wide, have
base of solid concrete and some
surface material such as vitrified
brick to make them disable in all
weather. The preliminary surveys
indicate that the project will require
about $1,000 miles of road, costing
from $4,000 to $4,000 a mile.
This will make the entire project
cost between three hundred and
three hundred and seventy-five mill
ions of dollars. This money Con-
gresham WarburtOn proposes to
raise while the roads are under con-
struction by restoring the internal
revenue tax on tobacco to the fig
ure maintained until 1879. That
would be about double the present
tax, and would add about $4,000
government. Four or five years of
tnlS TAX WOulu pay the UiiI' anu Ho
body would feel it but the consum-
ers of tobacco. In fact, they would
hardly know the difference. it Is
urged, because the only effect of
the tax would be slight reduc-1
ton in the amount in each cigar
and package.
There is something alluring In
the idea of getting a system of
roads as costly as the Panama canal
without paying cent for them. In
fact, it will be clear gain, for the
smokers of the country will pay the
bill by reducing their annual con-
sumption of nicotine, and everybody
knows that will make for physical
health and mental sanity.

ECZEMA DISFIGURED BABY

"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores eve to back Of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples. his little
face was disfigured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags Of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night, his little face
itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine Of the
two doctors without any result, we
read Of the .Cuticura Remedies, and
at ono bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has q
head of hair which is a pride for any
boy OF his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. H.
Albrecht, Box 883, West Point. Neb..

POSrPONEMENT OF PROPOSED
ADVANCE ON RATES OF I'M.
PoRTANcE TO STATE.
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capitol City, tho Various
State Institutions and Fror,
Many Different Parts Of
the Sunshine State.

Sioux Falls.-It develops that the
action Of the interstate commerce
commission, in suspending a proposed
advance in freight rates in South Da
kota, North Dakota and Iowa by the
Milwaukee company, was done at the
suggestion of the South Dakota board
Of railroad commissioners.
Before reporting the case to the
interstate commerce commission. ii
also develops that the state board had
issued an order %suspending the pro
posed advance so far as the new rates
applied to points wholly within the
state of South Dakota and which thus
were within the jurisdiction Of the
South Dakota board.
The South Dakota board will hold g
series Of hearings at Pierre and such
other points as may be necessary to
ascertain the propriety or reasonable.
ness Of the proposed new schedule OF
freight rates. These hearings are ex
pected to be completed before the ex.
piration of 90 days-this being the
period for which the new rates have
been suspended.
At the last session OF the legislature
the same provision was made for the
state railroad commissioners as is
contained in the interstate commerce
act for the suspension of rates. South
Dakota is the only state in the union
which has thus far given its board OF
railroad commissioners this power
and the present instance is the first
time the South Dakota board has ex.
ercised this power.
The proposed new tariff schedule
providing for an advance in freigh,
rates was filed with the South Dako
ia commission by the Milwaukee
company On May IS, and was origin.
ally intended to have gone into effect
one June 10.
The rates from Mitchell, Aberdeen
and Sioux Falls to points on the Pu
get Sound line Of the Milwaukee com
pany had this new schedule gone into
effect. would have increased all the
way from 8 to 81 cents for 100 pounds
Both state and interstate rates were
intended to be advanced, and the
board, in addition to %suspending the
state rates, filed the complaint will
