Must Put Value on Trunks After
June Both.

On and after June 30th all persons
who check trunks on railroad tickets
will be obligated under the provis-
ions of the Cummins act amending
the Interstate Commerce laws to de-
clare the value of their baggage, and
the baggage-master-a man of many
troubles-is beginning to suspect
that he is due for an unsuaully un-
happy summer. Railroad officials
are now working on plans to enable
their subordinates to enforce the
provisions of the act with the least
possible inconvenience to the travel
ing public but they are not altogeth-
er sanguine that the new regulations
will be popular with tourists and
others who will check trunks when
the rush to the seashore and country
resorts begins.
The railroads now carry trunks
and other baggage not exceeding $50
pounds in weight free with tickets of
transportation and assume liability
in case of loss or damage up to 500.
They declare they cannot assume un-
limited liability as permitted under
the Cummins act, but will accept the
alternative of assuming the 500
liability on each piece OF baggage
checked and insuring the passengers
for all over that amount on basis
of ten cents per 500, the rate laid
down by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Any one who signs a
declaration dishonesty, a railway Of
fetal who has made close study of
the new law said recently, will be
guilty of misdemeanor. For in
stance, if trunk is sent as baggage
and declared to be worth 500 and
the trunk goes astray, but turns up
later and is found that $500 ring
is in the trunk the owner is liable to
go to Jail. 1t is equally an otfense
to overestimate the value of baggage.
1t is understood that the railroads
will consent to accept declarations as
to values from agents of shippers,
which might be a valet, or butler, or
porter, or second cousin, or some
body who helps shipper or passen-
ger to make use of the checking priv
lege, but everybody has got to be
mighty careful that no false declara-
tions are made or there is sure to be
trouble for somebody.
Railroad officials, whose work will
be increased by the new regulations,
do not believe that passengers will
be tickled over the necessity of TAX
ing time to go to a baggage-master
and sign declaration setting forth
the true value of the contents of
trunks, particularly if it is near train
time and another ira isn't due for
several hours. It is expected they
will urge the travelling public to go
to the station early and avoid the
rush.

Stomach Trouble
Quickly Relieved
T.. III. Lewis Tells How He Was
Quickly Restored by Single

Thomas H. Lewis, of 1902 West
Second street, Ottumwa, Iowa, was a
sufferer from stomach ailments. He
took Mayr's Wonderful Remedy and
got quick relief.
The very first does convinced him.
Mr.. Lewis wrote:
II received your remedy and wish
to state that it is wonderful. The first
bottle made me. feel better than I
have felt in years. Would be glad to
recommend it to anybody who needs
a stomach remedy"
Mayr's Wonderful Remedy gives
permanent results for stomach, liver
and intestinal ailments. Eat as much
and whatever you like. No more dis

Our congregation Sunday morning
greatly enjoyed the special selections
of music rendered SO impressively
by Mr.. R. e. Ford of Omaha and Mr..
B. F. Ford of Kansas City, as also
did the large audiences in the even
ing in the Gospel services at the
opera house, and the Methodist
church. Such renditions reveal the
charming effect of music and what a
contribution, one who possesses spec
ial gifts, cam make for the good of
others. 1t tremendously argues for
the enlistment of men and women
whose special talent peculiarly fits
them for the strengthening of church
progress, thus insuring larger audi
ences and making more effective the
kingdom of God among men. Shall
not men and women volunteer for
service where their very best self
can find expression? Surely no one
wants to withhold such service from
the church. ...-
The Gainesville Gospel train and
Gospel Team made great impress
sion upon Leon Sunday. They were
great in number and greater with a
consuming zeal for the enforcement
of their ideal, the Christ-life and
christian service. Their sincerity
was unquestionable and of the good
done, much is known and much un-
known and unknowable. What the
Leon Gospel Team did at Gainesville
on their visit there and what the
Gainesville Gospel team is doing
there and elsewhere, but proves what
men can do when thoroughly enlist
ed and organically equipped for SER
vice, 1t also reveals how eager,
strong, virile men are for an ade-
quate program of work. Let the
church not fail to recognize this
latent asset and open the way for its
natural expression. Shall not this
manifestation stand to the men of
Leon as an irresistible appeal for
united organic movement. making
for civic and christian Righteousness
in Leon? The admirable service and
splendid entertainment given by our
own loyal church men and women
compelled the admiration and appre-
citation of all.
"Christian Emancipation" is the
patriotic theme for our worship next
