his election failed to interfere and
that 81 republicans organized in
the house and threatened to act
jointly with the democrats favoring
war with Spain unless the president
should change his attitude. That,
he added, was after the Maine had
been sunk.
Senator Smith declared the Utah
senator was partly wrong in his
facts, adding there never was any
question about going to war after
the Maine was destroyed.
Senator Williams OF Mississippi
also charged that Stand by the
President" was the republican
slogan in 1898. of which every ad-
vantage was taken. The argument
was unfair then and is unfair po-
litically now, Senator Williams
said.
Senator Smith said that President
Wilson has earned the gratitude OF
the American people. but that he is
not entitled to dictate to the Mich
igan electorate who should be elect
ed senator. Senator Williams point
ed out that the president has not
confined his efforts to republican
states and candidates, but went into
Georgia and Mississippi, where he
said democratic candidates were not
regarded as desirable, and opposed
their nomination.
Raps Nebraska Senator.
In conclusion, Senator Thomas
said the republican organization : is
seeking support for candidates who
have been severely attacked for their
course regarding the war. He said
Senator Norris, the republican can
didate in Nebraska. is an honest
and upright citizen.
But the senator's record for pac-
ifism," Mr.. Thomas said, lis motor
ious. If | remember correctly he
made a speech here placing the
dollar mark on the American flag
The man running against him has
no such blemish on his record.
IF pacifism is the test, why inter
fere in Michigan" Senator Smith
asked.
Senator Williams, in reply said
the speech in the senate in which
the dollar mark was placed on the
American flag, was "disgraceful"
and at least lad not been made by
Henry Ford, the democratic candi-
date for senator in Michigan.
While denying that he had any
intention of saying anything against
Mr.. Ford or Thurman H. Newberry,
the republican senatorial candidate
in Michigan, Senator Smith said the
democratic party was guilty of
kleptomania when it took a man
out of "the neutral zone" and made
him its exclusive candidate.

The Last Epidemic in 1882
80 Came From Russia by
Way of France and Was
Given a French Name, La
Grippe. This Time 1t Comes
by Way of Spain.
ORIGIN OF THE DISEASE.

SNASAlN w AAiL SA@A~FsDIs
Spanish Influenza, which appeared in
in numerous epidemics as far back as
history runs. Hippocrates refers to an
epidemic in 412 B. G.. which is regarded
by many to have been influenza. Every
century has had its attacks. Beginning with
1881, this country has had five epidemics.
the last in 1889-90.
THE SYMPTOMS.
Grip, or influenza az it is now called,
usually begins with chill followed by
aching, feverishness and sometimes naus ca
and dizziness. and a general feeling Of
is from 100 to l04, and the fever usually
lasts from three to five days. The germs
attack the mucous membrane, or lining Of
the air passages-nose, throat and bron-
chial tubes-there is usually a hard cough.
especially bad at night often times a sore
throat or tonsilitis, and frequently all the
appearances of a severe head cold.
THE TREATMENT.
Go to bed at the first symptoms-take
a purgative, eat plenty Of nourishng food,
remain perfectly quiet and don't worry.
Nature herself Is the only Cure" for in
fluenza and will throw off the attack If
only you conserve your strength. A little
Quinine. Aspirin or Dover's Powder may be
given by the physicians directions to
allay the aching. Always call doctor.
since the chief danger of grip Is in its
weakening effect on the system, which al
lows complications to develop These are
chiefly pneumonia and bronchitis. some
time inflammation of the middle ear. or
heart affections. For these reasons, it is
very important that the patient relnain in
bed until his strength returns-stay in
fever has left you, or II you are over so
or not strong, stay in bed four days or
more according to the severity Of the
attack.
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS.
In order to stimulate the lining Of the
air passages to throw off the grip germs,
to aid in loosening the phlegm and keep
ing the air passages open, thus making
the breathing easier, vick's VapoRub will
be found effective. Hot. wet towels should
be applied over the throat, chest and back
between the shoulder blades to open the

BOARD ALTERS
Rates FIXED BY
RAIL DIRECTOR
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Asserts Right to
Change Ruling Made
by MCAdoo.

Washington, Oct. 24.-The inter
state commerce commission today
asserted its authority to alter rail
road freight rates initiated by Di.
rector General McAdoo even with
out affirmative showing that they
are wrong, and announced that the
assumption that such rates are pre-
sumed to be right and just is incor-
rect
The pronouncement was in a de-
cision written by Commissioner Nc
Chord, finding for the compliments
in the case of the Willamette Valley
Lumbermen's association against
the Southern Pacific company.
Operate in Nebraska.
The compliments operate log
ging and lumber mills in the Will
annette valley in Oregon, selling
their products in Montana, Wyom-
Ing, the Dakotas, Nebraska, Mime
sofa, Wisconsin and Michigan and
western Canada. Mills in the vicin-
ity of Portland, Ore, and on the
Pacific coast, manufacturing the
same kind and grades of lumber.
have access to the same markets at
through joint rate materially lower
than the combination of rates quot
ed from Willamette valley mills
which have to pay local rates to
Portland and then the Pacific coast
group rate.
Efforts to obtain joint through
rates failed, it was complained, be-
cause participating carriers were I'M
willing to forego extra profits and
also wished to favor coast mills es-
tablished on their own lines. The
recent general increase of Is per
cent in freight rates increased the
difficulties of the Willamette valley
The railroad contention was that
the rates with the Is per cent in
crease became rates initiated by d.
rector general and therefore should
not be disturbed.
Holds Discrimination Unlawful.
The commission holds that such
in favor of shippers
or their own lines by carriers is I'M
lawful and the railroad defendants
are ordered to establish joint
rates from Willamette val
ley mills to points taking a 40 cent
rate from Portland, which shall not
exceed the rates from the coast
group. including Portland.
1t developed after the decision
was handed down today that rail-
road attorneys, who technically rep
fesented the railroad administration
in hearings of the Willamette Val
ley lumber rate case, had main
aimed that the interstate commerce
,ommiss ion had no power to inter-
;ere with rates initiated by the
president through the railroad ad-
ninistration. 1t is understood that
he commissions statement of its
attitude in the decision today was
primarily to refute that view.
This is not the view, however, of
Director General McAdoo, it was
officially stated. He has repeatedly
the belief that the inter
tate commerce commission should
investigate complaints of injustices
inder the new rates and make re-
to effect equalization
# rates.

GIRLS, YOU HAD BETTER MAKE
SURE OF YOUR FELLOWS NOW

According to letter / received
this week from friend of mine in
Paris, the American soldiers there
are making somewhat of hit" said
w. F. Muller Of New York, who was
in Abilene today on business. "The
letter says the Americans are to be
seen everywhere, and always escort
ed by French girl. You see in Pa
ris, the girls escort the boys-they
don't want them to get lonesome for
their United States. The fellow who
writes back from Paris and says he
hasn't been with French girl is
surely slipping one over on the girls
at home. The French like the SOL
diers, too. They say if the Amer
leans are as good at fighting as they
are getting on" with the girls, we
ought to be proud of them"

WHEAT FIELDS OF STATE ARE
UNDER BLANKET OF SNOW

Snow of the million-d variety
covered Kansas wheat fields under a
snow blanket of from four to six In
ches yesterday and last night. Abb
sence Of wind probably prevented all
traffic being tied up for several days.
Its moisture content was IT of an
inch, or less than half the average
for snow. Farmers in town today
said that the snow, while very light,
would be Of much value. The COM
ing weeks forecast calls for cold
weather until tonight. More snow is
scheduled for Wednesday and the
latter part of the week will be fair,
IL the elements live up to the advance
notices. No extremely cold weather
is booked for this week, and today's
temperature was considerably higher
than yesterday. 1t will still be de-
cidedly unsettled until the low pres

Three Men Who Stole Wheat From,
Breen Bros Farm Identified
and VIII Soon BE In Hands
of the Police.

James Breen, farmer living neaI
Chapman, was aroused at ocioci
this morning by noise near hi
wheat bin. He arose and saw some
men loading wheat from his bin In.
to wagons. While he went to q
neighbor's for assistance the rob
bers escaped.
The two men followed and came
upon the thieves encamped three
miles west of Chapman. They had
unhitched the three teams and built
a fire. When Breen and his friend
approached the robbers fed.
Sheriff Sherman was notified and
went to the scene Immediately, but
could find no trace of the robbers.
The Junction City officials we're no
titled and think they have appre-
hended the guilty parties.
1t is not known how many men
were implicated, but the fact that
there were three teams leads the of
ficials to believe that three men par
ticipated in the robbery and that they
have been making a wholesale job
OF 1t thru Kansas.
The teams are in charge of the
sheriff and are being cared for by
farmer near Chapman.
