Prof. Wiley is becoming too finicky in objecting to the use of borax and saltpetre us food, so long as the proper label is used thus: "Old dough's Alum Bread;" "Tinplate's borax Beans." Dr. S. A. Frazier, of Berkeley, Cal., has invented a language containing neither swear words nor expressions to convey unpleasant emotions. This Is going a great way toward taking language out of politics. In Minnesota a teacher who spanked two girls had the choice of paying a heavy fine or resigning his position. If one of the maidens should eventu ally marry him he would regret hav ing declined the chance to fly. The students at the several col leges in Rome wear eccelsiastlcal garb, but each is different in cut and color. The Germans are the most conspicuous in long, single-breasted close-buttoned coats of brilliant scar let. South Carolina's efforts to promote immigration from Europe have al ready borne substantial fruit in the decision of the North German Lloyd company to operate an emigrant ves sel directly from European ports to Charleston. A Philadelphia policeman who near ly choked to death on a pearl in an oystter found out after he had recov ered it and his wind that it was worth SSO, which, of course, makes it one of those good chokes that we so fre quently hear about and seldom see. A Winona, Minn., hunter mistook a girl for a woodchuck the other day and shot her. Isn't it nearly time to insist that no man shall be permitted to hunt without first obtaining a li cense by showing that he knows game when he sees it? Another universal language, Trinl ti, has been invented by one Dr. Fra zier of Berkeley, who thinks to recommend it by advertising a total abstinence of swear words. There seems to be no economy in compel ling people to know two languages. A man who was born in America has won the professional golf cham pionship. There is no likelihood, how ever, that we shall be called upon to send our boys to Scotland for the pur pose of teaching the fine points of the game over there. The largest and costliest building thus far undertaken in New York, the city of immense structures, is the magnificent $10,000,000 Episcopal Ca thedral or St. John the Divine, now being erected on Morningside Heights. This will be the greatest sa cred edifice in America, and the fourth in importance in the world. At the government printing office the new efficiency system arrange'' by Public Printer Stillings has gone into effect. This system is intended to provide for a precise estimate as to what a certain piece of work will cost. Heretofore the basis of esti mates has been largely theoretical. Tho employes were alarmed when they leaVned that the dreaded effi ciency system had gone into effect, fearing that it meant more work. Mr. Stillings allayed their fears. The new system simply preserves a rec ord of what work each employe is able to do. The figures of the domestic trade of the United States, like those relat ing to foreign commerce, show big gains for 1900 over tho preceding year. The increase is particularly noteworthy in cattle, meat and grain shipments, in production and con sumption of coal, in dealings in pro visions, cotton and other staples and in the general business done by the great rail and water transportation routes. We are buying and selling more abroad than ever before, but our incomparable home market is develop ing at an unparalleled rate. A Cleveland girl has written to the navy department saying she wants to enlist. The navy Jacks have lots of U3e for Jills, even aboard ship, only they don't spoil them that way. The girl didn't say what she wanted to do aboard ship, but after she found the key of tho foretop, and had stuck a knife in the mainmast to raise a breeze, she would probably discover some function of life at sea at present unused, simply because It never oc curred to the department to ship GRAINJRMS And Railroads are Indict ed for Rebating. SURPRISED THtM Federal Grand Jury at Minneapolis Astonished Railroad Officials by Its Action. Minneapolis, Minn. —Eleven indict ments were handed to Judge Lochren in the United States district court Thursday afternoon, covering the giving of rebates by certain rail roads and the receiving of the same by grain firms and individuals. The list of corporations against which the Indictments were returned as given out by Assistant District Attorneys Ewart and Dickie, who have had charge of the cases, are: The Great Northern Railroad Co., four indictments and about 75 counts. The Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha railway, one indictment and 60 counts. Wisconsin Central railway, one in dictment, 17 counts. Minneapolis & St. Louis railway, one indictment, five counts. The indictments against the rail roads charge the giving of rebates and tinder the head of receiving rebates the following true bills were returned: W. P. Devereaux Co., McCaul-Dius move Co., Minneapolis; Ames Brooks Co., of Duluth; Duluth Milling Co. Besides tho corporations, indict ments were returned against 11 indi vidual officials of the railroads named, but District Attorney Houpt said he would not consent to the names being given out for publication, owing to the fact no service had yet been obtained on them. The general offense alleged in the railroad indictments is the absorption of grain elevation charges. After the bunch of indictments had been given out to the court the jurors were excused for the term and told to convene again in St. Paul. That a fur ther and more searching investigation into the rebate question will be made Is not denied by Assistant District At torney Ewart and further revelations are expected to be made at the next Bitting of the grand jury. Perhaps the most surprised people of all were the railroads, for none of those interested expected indictments to be brought. Each company had made its best endeavors to disclaim any criminality in its relation with the grain companies. WERE OVERCOME BY SMOKE. A Woman and Four Children Perished in a Tenement House Fire. New York.—ln a fire in an East Side five-story tenement house on Madison street last night a woman and her four children were suffocated. The family, named Ginsberg, occupied apartments on an upper floor and their escape was cut off by the smoke and flames in the lower part of the building. More than 50 women were taken down the fire escapes by fire men. When the firemen arrived on the scene almost every window of the building was crowded with women and children calling for assistance. The fire in the lower floors had tilled the halls and stairways with smoke and cut off the means of escape. All of them were taken down fire escapes and ladders by the firemen, who then searched tho halls and upper apart ments. On the third floor they found the bodies of three children on the stairs, where they had been overcome by the smoke. In one of the flats on that floor they also found the bodies of the woman and the fourth child, who also had been suffocated. Admitted that the Notes Were Forged. Chicago, 111. —Paul O. Stensiand and Henry W. Hering, who were re spectively president and cashier of the Milwaukee Avenue state bank, were in court Thursday to testify regarding some of the forged notes held by the institution and us«d by Hering and Stensiand as ostensible collateral. The specific case in question was regard ing a note of SIO,OOO signed with the name of Francis Peabody. Mr. Pea body declared that the signature is a forgery, and Hering on the witness stand admitted that the signature is not genuine. He also declared several other notes shown to him are forger ies. Terrorists Dynamited a Train. Warsaw. Upon the arrival oi n train over the Vienna-Warsaw railroad at Rogow station last night a band of Terrorists surrounded the sta tion and threw a bomb at the mail van. The train was derailed. Several soldiers escorting the van were killed or wounded. The Terrorists then robbed the mail, and it is rumored that they got away with a very large sum of money, estimated as high as 1500,000. Strikers Win a Long Fight. Scranton, Pa. —The strike at the Scranton nut and bolt works which began last June was ended Thursday, the company granting the demands for a 12% per cent, increase in wages. The settlement of the strike here, it is believed, will result in simi lar concessions to the men in all east ern nut and bolt mills where men have been on strike. Socialists Go Gunning. Lodz, Russian Poland. —Seven na tionalist workmen were shot down here Thursday by socialists. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1906. CONSPIRACY CHARGES. Indictments Returned Against Men who Furnished Boiler Tubes for Uncle Sam's Warships. Pittsburg, Pa. —Indictments were returned by the federal grand Jury in this city Friday against J. J. Dunn, Charles L. Close and Frank L. Emmett, officers and employes of the Shelby Steel Tube Co., charging them with conspiracy to defraud the govern ment in connection with the boiler tubes furnished for a number of bat tleships. There are 30 specific counts against the men and it is alleged the conspir acy was in operation over a period from 1892 to January 1, 1905. The in dictments further assert that the de fective tubes wei-e placed in boilers that were used 011 12 vessels, among them being the Louisiana, upon which President Roosevelt is now making his trip to Panama. The other vessels named in the indictment as having the defective tubes alleged to have been furnished are the Maine, Pennsylva nia, Georgia, Colorado, Vermont, Maryland, Tennessee, Washington, Minnesota, Nebraska and Charleston. It is asserted that at the time the conspiracy is alleged to have been in effect, Dunn, who is now the superin tendent of all the seamless tube mills of the Shelby Tube Co., was the super intendent of the Greenville mills where the boiler tubes were made. Close at. that time was the assistant superintendent and Eimnett was the head of the finishing and shipping de partment. The indictments are the outcome of an investigation started a month or more ago upon information furnished by Emmett. Immediately after the re turn of the grand jury was made Jui'ije Ewi;.g issue.l bench warrants for the three inert and they will be ar rested to-day. They will be given n hearing Monday and the eases will be heard before the January term of the United States district court at Erie, Pa. WAR IN TEXAS. A Pitched Battle Between Rangers and Mexicans Results in the Death of Four of the Latter. Laredo, Tex.—Four Texas rangers sent to Rio Grande City to quiet turbulent political conditions there and Investigate the assassina tion of District Judge Welch, which occurred the night before election, were ambushed by a body of armed Mexicans between Fordyce and Rio Grande City late Thursday night. The rangers were asleep in camp when awakened by a volley of shots from the darkness. A pitched battle en sued and four of the attacking party were killed, one fatally wounded and two captured. The rangers escaped unscathed. The situation in Starr county was brought about by alleged election ir regularities, due to political clubs supplying Mexican residents with poll tax receipts and insisting that they be allowed to vote. Judge Welch had gone from his home in Corpus Christi, to be present at Rio Grande City on election day in an effort to prevent disorders. He was assassinated while he was asleep Monday night. It is charged that armed represent atives of political clubs controlling the Mexican vote patrolled the voting places on election day and refused to allow members of the opposing fac tion to vote. Several shooting affrays occurred, but no one was killed or wounded. It is charged by one faction that Judge Welch was murdered by a hired assassin and that Thursday night's ambuscade of the rangers was instigated by the same faction. REVIEW Of TRADE. An Inadequate Supply of Freight Cars and Labor Is a Retarding Influence. New York. —R. G. Dun & CO.'E Weekly Review of Trade says: Business experienced the customary interruption during election week, but a more permanent retarding influence was the inadequate supply of freight cars and labor. Many industries are severely handicapped by traftic delays. In other cases there is idle machinery because hands cannot be secured, de spite the high wages offered. This dif ficulty threatens to reduce the lumber cut materially. Several strikes are threatened, and one railway system has advanced wages to the extent of a million dol lars monthly. Retail trade is well maintained by lower temperature in some sections of the country and the full employment of labor at all points, while wholesale business in holiday goods is very heavy. A Series of Incendiary Fires. New York. —One woman is dead, a man is in a hospital suffering from severe burns, 2,000 persons fled from their homes in panic and thou sands more passed a sleepless night as a result of a series of incendiary fires in the two blocks bounded by Sixtieth and Sixty-first streets and Co lumbus and West End avenues early Friday. Scores of persons whose lives were endangered by the conflagration were rescued by firemen. In all there were five fires, every one of them in cendiary, between midnight and 3 o'clock in the morning. Nine Workmen Killed. Long Beach, Cal. —Five stories of the central wing of the new $750,000 Bixby hotel collapsed Friday, carrying nine workmen to death in the tons of tangled wreckage. About 150 artisans and laborers were scattered through the structure at the moment it fell. A Fatal Mistake. Marquette, Mich.—Lee Hall, an attorney of lonia, Mich., was mistaken for a deer and killed in the woods near Fibre, Chippewa county, Friday by S. C.

SKIN ERUPTIONS 35 YEARS. suffered Severely with Eczema All Over Body—A Thousand Thanka to Cutlcura Remedies. -Tor over thirty-five years I was a severe sufferer from eczema. The eruption was not confined to any one place. It was all over my body, limbs and even on my head. I am si.uy years old and an old soldier, and have been examined by the Government Board over fifteen times, and they said there was no cure for me. I have taken all kinds of medicine and have spent large sums of money for doc tors, without avail. A short time ago I decided to try the Cuticura Reme dies, and after using two ca ,r es of Cuticura Soap, two boxes of Cuticura Ointment, and two bottles of Cuti cura Resolvent, two treatments in all, I am now well and completely cured. A thousand thanks to Cuticura. I cannot speak too highly of the Cuti cura Remedies. Joan T. Roach, Rich jnondale, Ross Co., Ohio, July 17, 1905." The Zulu War Cry. The Zulu war cry, used whenever they take the field by the South Afri can footballers now in London, has puzzled our newspapers, not one of which seems able to spell it correctly, says Notes and Queries. T.he Daily Express gives it as "Igamilzho," and the Daily Mail as "Gammillo." The cry really consists of two words, and should be written "Igama layo." "Igama" Is Zulu for "name," and "layo" is a possessive pronoun, mean ing either "his" or "their." Thus the Dally Mail, although quite wrong in Its orthography of the cry, is right In saying that it merely means "That is his name." The explanation Is that Zulu etiquette does not allow warriors, when they rush Into battle, to men lion the names of their enemies, but the leaders shout out, "That is his name," pointing to the victims with thoir spears. Walter's Modest Request. Melba admires the independence of her fellow Australians, but on one oc casion she had rathor a pronounced exoerlence with what she calls their "delightful impudence." She had wait ed a long time for dinner at her hotel In a large mining town and finally made a sharp complaint to the waiter. "Well, ma'am," said he, coolly, "you might sing us a song to pass the time." This to a vocalist who one evening received $5,000 from William Waldorf Astor for singing four songs in his London mansion. HARD TO SEE. Even When the Facts About Coffe* Are Plain. It is curious how people will refuse to believe what one can clearly see Toll the average man or woman that the slow but cumulative poison ous effect of caffeine—the alkaloid In tea and coffee—tends to weaken the heart, upset the nervous system and canse Indigestion, and they may laugh at you If they don't know the facts. Prove It by science or by practical demonstration In the recovery of cof fee drinkers from the above condi tion3, and a 'arge per cent, of the human family will shrug their shoul ders, take the drugs and —keep OD drinking coffee or tea. "Coffee never agreed with me noi with several members of our house hold," writes a lady. It enervates, de presses and creates a feeling of lan gtior and heaviness. It was only.by leaving off coffee arid using Posturn that we discovered the cause and cure of .these ills. "The only reason, I am sure, why Postum is not used altogether to the exclusion of ordinary coffee is, many persons do not know and do not seem willing to learn the facts and how tc prepare this nutritious beverage There's only one way—according to directions —boil it fully 15 minutes Then it is delicious."
