whero found to bo excessive Among
thoso who talked with tho president
wero Secretary Morton and E. P.

committee of tho Interstate commerce
commission.
Tho prosldent Is anxious that legis
lation In tho Interest of shippers be

ISLAND STILL IN NEBRASKA.
Meanderlngs of Old Muddy Cannot
Take It Away.
WASHINGTON Tho supremo court
of the United States decided tho boun
dary caso between tho states of Mis
souil and Nebraska In favor of tho
stato of Nebraska. The caso Involved
tho question as to whether a change
of tho course of tho Missouri river
had tho effect of changing land which
had theretofore been on the west side
of tho river, to the east side of tho
river, from tho jurisdiction of Ne
braska to tho jurisdiction of Missouri,
but tho court held that it did not. Tho
opinion wns by Justice Harlan, hold
ing thnt tho boundary must remain In
tho mlddlo of the old channel as be
foro tho change.
Tho tract of land thnt caused tho
controversy is known as MeKisIck's
Island, lying between Nemaha county,
Nebraska, and Atchison county, Mis
souri. The controversy originated In
18G7. Previous to that year tho is
land wns regarded as Indisputably In
Nebraska. Tho river at that point was
in tho shnpo of an ox yoko, and on
tho night of July 5 of that year tho
water broke across tho land lying in
ono of tho bendB, thus throwing tho
land on tho east, Instead of tho west
sldo, of tho livor. The claim was
made by tho Nebraska authorities that
this was made by the digging of a
ditch.
In his opinion Justlco Harlan ex
pressed his opinion ndmlttlng that con
gress had not Intended by its act ad
mitting Missouri into tho union to
change tho established rule and mako
tho varying channels of the Missouri
river tho western boundary of that
state.
'Missouri," ho added, "does not dls
puto tho fact that when Nebraska was
admitted Into tho union tho body of
land described In tho present record
as McKl8slck's island, or Island pre
cinct, wns In Nebraska. It Is equally
clear that these lands did not cease
to bo within tho limits of Nebraska
by reason of tho subject nvulslon."
Tho final decreo U postponed pre
pared for thirty days to allow tho Mis
ourl and Nebraska authorities to
agroo as to tho location of tho center
of the old channel.

CONGRESS 8HOULD CONTROL IN
TER8TATE COMMERCE.
SO SAYS CARFIELD'S REPORT

Means by Which People Engaged
In Interstate Business Can Be Con
trolled. WASHINGTON Tho first annual
report of tho commissioner of corpora
tions wns submitted to congress Wed
nesday by Commissioner Garfield. Ho
says no satisfactory reform Is to be
expected under tho state system of
Incorporation; thnt tho federal govern
ment has at Its command sufficient
power to remedy existing conditions
In Its control of interstate commerce.
Ho therefore BUggosts that congress
consider tho advisability of enacting a
law for tho legislative regulation of
Interstate and forolgn commerco tin
der a license of franchise, which In
general Bhould provide as follows:
"Tho granting of a federal franchiso
or license to engage In Interstate com
merce. "Tho Imposition of all necessary re
quirements ns to corporato organiza
tion and management ns a condition
of tho retention of such franchises or
license.
"The prohibition o? all corporations
and corporato agencies from engag
ing In lntcrstato and foreign com
merco without such federal franchiso
or license.
"Tho full protection of tho grantees
of such franchise or license who obey
tho laws applicable thereto.
"Tho right to rcfuso or withdraw
such franchiso or license In caso of
violation of law, with appropriate right
of judicial appeal to pi event ahuso of
power by the administrative officers."
Commissioner Garfield says tho
bureau under tho direction of the sec
retary of commerce and labor, affords
tho npproprlote machinery for tho ad
ministration of such a law.

THE LAND FRAUDS.
Men In High Places Said to Be In
volved. WASHINGTON Tho Post says:
Senator Mitchell and Represcntatlvo
Blnger Hnrmann of Oregon left Wash
ington last night for Portland to ap
pear before the federal grand Jury and
faco charges which they have been
advised Implicated them in Oregon
land frauds.
Both Senator Mitchell and Mr. Har
mann declare In most positive terms
that they aro absolutely Innocent and
havo nothing to fear from returning
to Oregon. Both assert with equal
posltlveness that tho time has come
when "this outrageous persecution
must stqp." They will Insist upon their
right to go before the grand jury and
mako answer to all charges that may
bo mado against them, confident that
they will bo able to establish thoir
Innocence. They expect to havo a
hearing on Saturday.
When asked last night why ho had
decided to return to Portland at this
tlmo after declining to go as a wit
ness when summoned by subpoenas a
week ago, Senator Mitchell said:
"I was advised yesterday by tele
grams from Portland thnt It was re
ported there that Puter, Watson and
others of tho gang had mado confes
sions implicating me and that there
would be an effort mado to Indict mo
and Hermann before the Jury which
meets tomorrow. A week ago, when
I was called as a witness, I had no
intimation that it was claimed that I
was Implicated In any way and I did
not feel It my duty to go and sacrifice
public business, but tho moment I was
advised that I was being attacked
personally I concluded I was Justified
In sacrificing public business and
everything else to go and defend my
character against assaults that I know
to bo without any foundation what
ever." Senator Mitchell sent this telegram
yesterday to District Attorney Hall
and Assistant Attorney General
Honey:
"I will bo In Portland next Satur
day. I demand thorough Investigation
before giand jury of all charges, if
any, against me. I also demand right
to appear as witness before grand
jury."
Representative Hermann before
leaving mado this statement:
"Information having been received
thnt there was a probability that an
attempt would be made to lnvolvo
Senator Mitchell and myself In tho
grand jury Investigation as to land
frauds In Oregon. I believe It to bo
my duty to proceed to Portland and
there ask tho privilege of meeting any
charges which may be preferred."
Both Senator Mitchell and Mr. Her
mann say, continues the Post, that i-o
movement against them has been dl
roced by Secretary Hitchcock and at
tribute it to his personal hostility to
ward them.

Hope United States Will Not Aban
don Arbitration.
ST. PETERSBURG Considerable
surprise is manifested at the foreign
offico regarding tho reports from Eng
lish sources representing tho Wash
ington govornment as disposed to
abandon tho Russlnn-Amerlcan arbi
tration treaty because of the char
acter of the modifications proposed by
Russia. Emperor Nicholas Is sincerely
anxious to conclude a treaty with tho
United States. It is pointed out that
tho modifications proposed aro direct
ly modeled on tho arbitration treaties
provided for by The Hague conven
tion, slightly amplifying tho Anglo
French model, which practically con
fines arbitration to the interpretation
of treaties and juridical questions.
Russia has already negotiated similar
treaties with Belgium and Sweden
nud Norway and desires to mako
others with the larger European
powers.

Newspaper Circulation.
A statistician has learned that the
annual aggregation of tho circulation
of the papers of the world Is estimated
to bo 12,000,000,000 copies. To grasp
the Idea of this magnltudo we may
state that It would cover no fewer
than 10,450 squaro miles of surface ;
that It is printed on 781,250 tons of
paper; nnd, further, that if tho num
ber (12,000,000,000) represented, in
stead of copies, seconds, i. would tako
more than 333 years for them to

Hensley, Ark., Dec. 2Gth. (Special)
That a sure cure for Backacho would
bo a priceless boon to the people, and
especially the women of Amorlca, is
admitted by all interested in medical
matters, and Mrs. Suo Williams of
this place is certain she has sound in
Dodd's Kidney Pills the long-looked
for cure.
"I am 38 years old." Mrs. Williams
Bays, "and I hnvo suffered with tho
Backacho very much for thrco
or four years. I havo been treated
by good physicians and got no relief,
but thanks to God. I have found a euro
xt last and It is Dodd's Kidnoy Pills
I have taken only ono box nnd it has
dono mo more good than all the doc

all sufferers from Backacho to know
that they can get Dodd's Kidnoy Pills
and get well."

To Train Servants.
Hamburg Is to have a school for
training servants. It is not intended
to compete with existing schools
which provide training in domestic
science for girls of well-to-do fami
lies. Every housekeeper should know
that If they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry uso they
will save not only time, because It
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 1G oz. one full
pound while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in -pound pack
ages, and tho price is the samo. 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch Is free from all Injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to cell you a
12-oz. package It Is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he put3 In Defiance.
Ho knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package In large let
ters and figures "16 ozs." Demand
Defiance and save much time and
money and the annoyance of the Iron
sticking. Defiance never sticks.
