Washington.-Ilcnry l.. OXnard, known
ms the father of the beet industry" and
the vicc-president Of the American Beet
Sugar Company, was the principal wit
ness Monday before the senate lobby in
vestigating committee. Mr.. OXnard was
on the stand for several hours and proved
an entertaining witness. He told the
committee how New York bankers, who
helped to organize the beet sugar COM
pany, insisted upon putting in about
$4,000, 600 water in that 500, 900
corporation; how he and his brothers had
made about a million by the sale of much
of their share of this watcred stock, and
gave warning that the Underwood bill,
with its free sugar provision, would re-
suit, in his opinion, in the formation OF
a new sugar trust which would not
violate the antitrust law.

eral Miles-Escape With Per
haps $4,000.

Springfield, Ill.-The midnight Dia-
mond Special on the Illinois Central rail
road, due through here at midnight, was
held up by two masked robbers, near
Glenarm, ten miles south of here, on
Tuesday night. Deputy sheriffs, city
police and newspaper representatives,
summoned by telephone from Spring
field, came upon the bandits while they
were dynamiting the express car. The
passengers on tie train were lined up
beside it and their guns taken from
them.
Sheriff Mcster of Sangamon county
and Policeman Adams fought a duel
with one Of the robbers.
When the fusillade became too heavy
for the bandits they boarded the engine,
commanding Engineer Shell to follow
them. They left the fireman behind the
express car with the messengers and
curious passengers, who had left the
them a mile away and followed down
the track to where the robbers stopped
the express car, after cutting it loose
from the remainder of the train.
When the robbers jumped aboard the
engine TO escape Sheriff Mester and the
posse, they ordered Engineer Shell to
pull out fast" Probably a few miles
further on the holdup men stopped the
engine again and made further efforts
to blow the safe in the express car.
Again the robbers jumped upon the
engine and gave another order to pull
out. This time they did not stop until
nearing the city limits of Springfield.
The robbers jumped off the engine, or
dering the engineer to 60 on and dis
appeared.

COOL WEATHER
OFFSET BY RAINS
CROP IN WEST AND CENTRAL VAL.
LEY MADE GOOD PROGRESS,
EAST HAD TOO MUCH RAIN
Warm Weather Is Needed-GeneraI
Rains Over Western Belt Supplied
Just the Thing Desired, and
Excellent Growth Made.

Melnphis.-Go"l psogrcss was made BY
the cotton crop west OF the Mississippi
river and IN Tennessee and Mississippi
during the past week. The rains that
visited practically all of this area proved
OF much benefit, coming, as they did, At
a time when moisture was needed anu
when fields were clean and soil in ex-
cellcnt filth. Cool weather retarded the
best growth in the central valley, but
no actual damage was dOne-even some
progress was made-whilc in the west
the plant made wonderful progress.
Fields are in fine shape, both as to clean
illness and state OF cultivation OF the
soil.
The week was about a stand-off in
Alabama, while in Georgia and the Caro-
linas low temperatures and too mucn
rain retarded both growth and cultiya-
ton. However, little actual damage was
done the plant, and As fields were clean
to begin with, grass has gained no great

than actual, and whether the crop IS
permanently damaged depends largely
upon the weather of this week. If It
is favorable fields will soon be cleaned
and the check to growth will soon be
if unfavorable much perma-
nent damage will be done the crop.
As a whole the benefit from general
over the belt will far outweigh the
check put upon the plant by the cool
weather, while the excessive moisture
has done little actual damage to date.
The developments of the week have done
much to place the plant where it will be
in position to take advantage OF good
weather. Great strides should be made
with warm, open weather, while on the
hand, as stated above, much per-
damage would result from con
tinued unfavorablc weather. Weather at
the close OF the week was much i'm

HAVE YOU CHRONIC
KIDNEY TROUBLE?
At Last Relief Is in Sight tor
This Painful and Dangerous
MaIady

One Of the most serious Of ali human ills
and the one which is fraught with the
most serious consequence is kidney uou-
Bile of any kind, particularly chronic IN
hammation of the kidneys. Kidney trou-
bile may in the majority of instances be
directly traced to faulty elimination or
poisonous matter in the bowels and kid
neys because of the clogged conditions.
These two organs are designed to rid the
system of all that cannot be properly used
to nourish and strengthen the body. In
fact, they are a part of the great human
sewer system built to carry off effete ma
terial; when they become clogged from
constipation or other causes the danger
signal is out and unless immediate attens
ton is paid to 1t and the cause removed
serious results will follow.
DR.. Kings Royal Germetuer does not
act as a cathartic nor will 1t of itself act
on the bowels but by its splendid tonic
qualities 1t builds up ar impaired and dis
eased system and in that way adds toni
to the bowels so that they may properly
perform their functions and restore the
kidneys to normal health.
Should immediate action as a laxative
be desired use Germetuer Pills In con-
junction with DR.. Kings Royal Germe-
tuer. The most obstinate case of constipa-
ton and kindne3 trouble will respond to
this treatment. Read what Mr.. R. B.
Riddick, Coffeville, Miss. says:
II had been afflicted for a long time
with a severe Inflammation Of the kidneys
and bladder. The pains I suffered were in
tense, and my urin was very bloody. The
general health had given way, and my
nervous system was so shattered could
hardly sleep. DR.. Kings Royal Germetuer
was recommended to me. I tried 1t. and
less than half a dozen bottles cured me
completely. I am 50 years old, and for
more than a year-ever since I took Ger
metuer-I have enjoyed as good health as
ever in my life. I give all the praise to
Germetuer, for I am sure 1t saved my life.

WEST Va. MINERS
TELLOF NEWSTR|KE
SENATORS HEAR THAT OPERATORS
HAVE BROKEN AGREEMENT.
DETECTIVE ON THE STAND
Unionists Were Spotted-Score of Wit
nesses Called by Miners Declare
Principal Trouble in Strike
Caused by Guards.

Charleston, w. Va.-With a renewal
of the industrial wal in the Paint and
Cabin Creek mine districts generally re.
ported, the senate mine strike commit
tee Monday continued its examination
of witnesses. During the day miners,
detectives and agents of the mine OPP
orators came down from the strike re-
gion with tales of a new strike declared
and the district again thrown into dis
order.
The local union of the United Mine
Workers of America, No. II, has not
called a new strike on Paint and Cabin
Creeks, Thomas Haggerty, a member of
the international Miners Board, de-
clared.
but we cannot be sure of the men
who are working up in the field" he
said. The operators have not lived up
to the agreement under which the men
went back to work and which was
drawn by Gov. Hatfield. We have tried
to prevent a further strike, but l am
convinced that the miners up there have
already decided not to continue to work
under the conditions which prevail there
now.
The testimony presented to the senate
committee was largely routine and cumu-
lative. Thomas L. Feltz, vice-president
of the Baldwin-Feltz Detective Agency,
which supplied the mine guards for the
Paint and Cabin Creek operators during
the strike, was the principal witness.
