A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY

Rochester Union and Advertiser
Great excitement has been occasioned
by the announcement made through
the news dispatches of the Associated
Press that Nine Lillian Nordica. an
opera singer. has discovered "a little
white powder" which she puts in her
bath every day, whereby she has been
reduced in weight 20 pounds She
found the powder all by herself says
the dispatch. Her husband lost two
pounds by using the powder in his bath
only once. 1t is believed that he would
have been reduced at least four pounds
and half if he had not had to hurry
his bath in order to catch a train.
We are told that Nine. NOrdica
(Which is some kind of a foreign name
for Mrs George Young proposes TO
put this wonderful white powder OF
ne markets-A she found the pow
der all by herself II IS = -. =, Id : :
she will have a monopoly if she can
keep the secret of its composition. But
we do not believe that she will be
able to do this The Associated Press
will find out what the powder is made
of and will spread the blessed news
all over the world. Then everybody
will get thin. President Taft will be
sesslim that he will fall through a knot
hole in the floor of the blue room
The Hon. Ollie James will ride thistle
down from Kalamazoo to TimbuctoO
and back again
Interest in the presidential campaign
las abated today. Nobody cares who
is elected. Public attention is centered
on the Associated Press news about
the little white powder which Nine
Nordica has found all by herself
We are living in an age of marvellous
discoveries.

F0RTY-TW0 MILLION DOLLAR
TRUST ON VERGE OF COLLAPSE

the enormous sum of S12,321,223, not
withstanding that in 1910 this item
had already been provided for to the
amount of $10,S1O,775.
Land, buildings and equipment
jumped up more than $2,0O0,OOO dur
ing the year-from $7,12O,16S to 50,
276,126.
BY such means the total assets last
year were marked up to $40, 0,050,2SS, as
compared with less than $4,000, ,0OC
twelve, months earlier. 1t was neces
sary, too, to boost the assets in order
to have them square the growth of liza
hilities.
The unfortunate stockholders are
not likely to get cent. There is out
standing $11,493,000 of preferred and
S12,193,000 of common stock. 1t is
understood that tentative proposals
were made that creditors accept set
tlement on a basis of part cash and
part securities on the reorganized com
hany, but certain banks, it is learned
refused to become stockholders in {
'et ture of so doubtful merit. Reor
ganization without calling in a receiv
er l.ving proved impossible, nothing
was left but to lay the whole mess be
fore the court.
On Monday next the 90-day extension
granted by creditors expires The
company has found thai it cannot pos
sibly meet all the obligations then
falling due-the amount. it is under
stood, is rot far short of s3,O0O,OOO.

LEAN BEFORE THE FAT.

Commences to look as if Nomeites will have coal to burn next winter and be given an opportunity to tell crude oil. and crude oil burners what they thing uf the nasty thick viscous like substance. and We believe it will re- quirc only crude language to express the popular opinion on the same as Q substitute Tor the genuine coal in the homes.
 We are informed there is always a lean before the fat, like the lull be- fore tho storm. or the pitch dark be- fore the dawn, merely expressions of extremes or oppOsltes. and the lean in the coal this winter will produce thr opposite next winter.
 A year ago there was a shortage in cream. butter and sugar-not so this spring. We have more than enough to run the camp, could supply and pro vide for all the other camps. as We are now doing in the cream and butter line, without a danger of a shortage.
 There is only q shortage in the meat line this winter, and We believe there IS sufficient of this commodity to run the camp until the arrival of inc first fleet this spring. but at that We hear rumors of other markets be- ing installed. large supplies of meat being shipped in. so next winter Nomeites can expect 10 secure many ( choice cut to tuck away under their winter garments. and not have 10 lump up against what is termed Hob- ton's choice. as Is the case when there is shortage. But there should be just meat enough ordered to run the camp through the winter. 1t is better {" have few pounds shy than many over. for Il Is rather poor truck after inc opening of navigation. Beef that has wintered In here. develops a taste all it's own, and has the eggs dis counted or backed clean off the earth.

PASSING OF GENERAL GRANT.

\ week ae" today the hand of death passed over the Grant family and tho last Of this great family, ~o far as we know of. representing the army. was called to join his greet and iIlustriouS rather, who's, memory We all respect. for proving to be the man on horseback when the country was in the throos ot deadly struggle.
 For a moment. owing to the sppall- ing account of the marine disaster wherein so many unfortunates lost their lives. We were inclined to over look the passing of any one individual no matter how great But with the passing of Frederick Dent Grant. son of our great general who won for the North the civil war. and later served his country by being called to the White House the greatest honor this country can bestow upon it's sons.
 The public has never had an oppor- tunits to become well acquainted with the late General Grant. although he has served his country through the spanish American war serving both in Porto Rico and in the Philippines, showing at times the same spirit of generalship that was characteristic of his father.
 From police commissioner in New York. he enlisted as a volunteer at the beginning of the Spanish war. as colonel of the New York Fourteenth infantry and then step by step, by sheer ability he rose 10 the position of general in the regular army, and ;t the time of his death was in com Iuund of the department of the East, considered the best berth in the army of the various departments.
 fiji, sudden death brings to Q close the representative of the Grant fam- ily in the army of our country. and the only reason he failed to rise to heights attained by his father was due t' peace. wherein his country has eN- perienced no serious wars calling for ability such as displayed by hls fath CT. who was general among generals

THE PROBLEM OF STEEL RAILS

The numerous serious railroad acci- dents of late due to broken rails have caused renewal of the old discus sion regarding responsibility. Former ly the debate was as to whether the manufacturers of rails were primarily to blame. for using the fault lay with the railroad people, for unwillingness to pay price large enough to com mand the best. Now here is a new element in the discussoin.
 The steel men set up the fact that traffic conditions have changed great ly in the last ten years: that trains are heavier and run at greater speed and more frequently, and maintain that the roads require heavier rails than their chief engineers have been specifying After a meeting of steel manufacturers held last week one of them complained to New York World representative as follows.
 IL seems patent that essential NlldllbtT All iAlF VI A'AAo 4iAASA be made Rails have been growing heavier. but they have not increased in keeping. with the heavier engines and rolling stock. the increased carry ing capacity and density of traffic. The railroads have been demanding heavier rails in order 10 keep down replacement expenses In order to meet their demands the manufactur- CTS have been using a higher percen- tagc of carbon. This makes the rail more susceptible to breakage.
 Here is situation in which there is another party in interest than tn. railroad men and the steel men. Ths travelling public Is cocnerned. for when rails break people are killed.
