ho wu not surprlscl that such an order had I
been Issued. .Mr. Porter explained that the
ls.ttiance of this order was tho result of tho
fiction of tho Hoatd of Transportation Iti or
dering n direct reluctlon Instead of a restor
ation of tho old curlot rates, as he had sug
gested. other member of the board admitted that
they were practli ally powerless to proceed
to fix or regulalo rates. "Taking tho deci
sions of the federal courts ns a guide," said
Auditor Cornell, "tho Hoard of Transporta- i
Hon is left without very much authority and ,
I doubt If wo can do anything In the way of .
a rcductlci of freight rates." j
It is expected that tho order will be olTl

The finding of tho secretaries of the Stato
Hoard of Transportation In the caso of Rob

This was a complaint tiled by Robert

grain hovers ntid shippers, locuted at Kills,
Nib.. In furnishing flclgh' ears for shipping
purposes during thn whole time set forth,
thereby injuring uiuplaliiant and his busi
ness during all of wild time
The defendant company filed a general
denial. A hearing In the matter was com
menced on February 11, 1W0. and two days
were consumed In taking testimony In the
ease. Very little of general Interest was
liiought out from the numerous witnesses.
As in the ease of Sandman ngalnst the
Chicago, Hock Island Pncltlc Hallway
company, decided a short lime, ago, It is
cvli'r it that the defendant company has
lu-en doing what It could to dlscourago
trackmen. Tho testimony of Mr. Thorn
burg, the commercial agent of said railway
company, set forth clearly tho policy that
has been pursued by the company. In an
swer to the question by Mr. Hllllngsley,
counsel for defendant, us follows:
tjtiest Ion What would you call "grnln In
sight?" . , ,
Answer I would consider grain In sight
that was in eievatora or bins near the rail
road nation.
(J. Or in wagons at the station?
A Yes, If there was a carload of It, ac
rordlni: to our Instructions.
Q. You don't call grain that Is contracted
for and that lias not been brought In to t lit)
station grain In sight?
A. I wouldn't consider It so; no, sir.
This rule, of course, would bar tho track
men, as a cnrload of grain would have to
be hauled to the track before a car could tin
ordered, and as It takes Hornet time to securo
a car of grain usually, what had been
hauled to the railroad would bo left stand
ing subject to tho Inclemency of the
weather. As III tho Sandman caso the evi
dence. Is somewhat Indcllnltu as to the num
ber of enrs comolalnant was really entitled
to, but It Is RUIIlclent to show, In our opin
ion, that the company did not deslro or In
tend to furnish complainant his duo nnmar
t Ion of the cars.
Wo would therefore recommend thnt tho
same order be made In this case that was
made In tho Sandman case.
It o nil Miiit l'"nriilnti Com.
Acting upon the recommendation of the
secretaries, tho Hoard of Transportation Is
hiii'iI mi order compelling tho Rock Island
Railroad company to furnish Mr. Wrlgley
all tho cars that ho may requlro for tho
shipment of grain. Tho provision Is made
that In case of a scarcity of cars, the plain
tiff In this action will recelvo ns many earn
In proportion to tho amount of grain In sight
ami ready to bo shipped as tho other grain
dralcrti In his vicinity. Tho order of tho
hoard says tnat grain bought by tho plaintiff
to bo delivered on tho track on a given
date shall be construed as being In sight on
that date.

V1JKV FEW PEOPLE
Ara Free I'roiii .Sonic I'nrm of Indl-
UCHtloll.
Very few people are free from somo form
of Indigestion, but scarcoly two will havo
tho jamo symptoms.
Some suiter most directly after eating,
bloating from gas In stomach and bowels,
others havo heart burn or our rltdngs, still
olhcra havo palpitation of heart, headaches,
sleeplessness, pains In chest and under
Bhottldor bladfM, Bomo havo cxtrcmo nervous
nefrrt hh In nervous dyspepsia.
But whatever tho symptoms may be, tho
eaiifo In all cases of Indigestion Is tho same,
that Is, tho torn mil for seme reason falls
to properly and promptly digest what in
eaten.
This is tho wholo story of stomach trou
bles in a nut shell. Tho stomach must
havo rest and assistance and Stuart's Dyu-
pepata Tablets glvo it both by supplying
thoso natural digestives which ovory weak
titcmacli lacks, owing to the falluro of tho
peptlo glands In tho stomach to secreto
fuiriclrnt acid nnd pepsin to thoroughly di
gest and assimilate tho food eaten.
One grain of tho actlvo principle In Stu
nrt'o Dyspepsia Tabids will dlgrwt 3.000
grains of meat, eggs or other wholesome
food, nnd this eiulm has been proven by
nctual experiment which any one can per
form for himself In tho following manner.
Cut hard boiled egg Into very smnll pieces,
na It would bo If masticated, placo tho egg
nnd two or threo of tho tablets in n bottlo or
J.ir containing warm water heated to 98 de
grees (tho tempernture of thu body) nnd
Keep It at this tempfraturo for three and
one-half hours, nt tho end of which tlmo
the egg will bo nti completely digested as It
would havo been In the healthy stomach of
a hungry boy.
Tho point of this experiment Is that what
Stuart's I))spepsla Tablets will do to tho
erg In tho bottlo It will do to tho egg or
meat In tho stomach, and nothing clro will
rrt.t ninl invigorate tho Btomach so safely
nnd effectually. Kvcn u littlo child can
take Stuart's Tablets with snfoty and benefit
If Its digestion is weak, and tho thousands
of cures ationiplldhcd by their regular
dally iito aro partly explained when It is
understood that they aro composed of vege
table essences, aseptic pepsin, dlnstnso and
Golden Seal, which mlnglo with tho food
and digest It thoroughly, giving tho over
worked stomach u chanco to recuperate.
Dieting never cures dyspepsia, neither do
pills and cathartlo medicines, which simply
irritate and inflamo tho Intestines.
When enough food is iatcn nnd promptly
digested thero will bo no constipation, nor
In fnct, will thero be dlseaso of nny kind,
becai:t.o good digestion means good health
In every organ.
