FIGHT ANTI-TOXIN TRUST Chicago Medical Man Have Opened a Hattle fur Cheaper Privet The Chicago medical society and the Illinois stAto medical association will begin legal proceedings against the anti-toxin trust under the anti-trust law. Secretary Pritchard of tho health de partment sayo thut he has Information to that cfTert. An official statement regarding tho "death trust" In antl-toxln was Issued by Secretary Pritchard. The statement says: "The antl-toxln trust Is nothing more or less than a. triflic In human life. Three concerns, which manufacture and practically control the antl-toxln supply of almost the entire country, have seen lit to arbitrarily advance tho price of their produco 100 per cent. This discovery was mado by tho de partment of health of tho city of Chi cago, when, In ordering Its needed sup plies for charity work, It was met with these increased quotations. "Tho department felt compelled to call attention to the evidence that a combine had been formed which ef fectually controlled tho prlco of the only known remedy for the most dread scourge to the child life of the coun try. Primarily our object was to call attoutlon to tho immediate effect this would have on the death rate of children in the city of Chicago." The N. N.

WANTAFARMHOME How to Proceed if You Want One at Rosobud Agency 416,000 ACRES IN THE STRIP Soldier nnd Pallor Have Sam Prefer- nee at Veteran of Clll Had Sptnlvli Vai Other Newt Representative Hlnshaw has received many letters from his constituents in the Fourth district and from other res idents of Nebraska Inquiring concern lug the lands in the Rosebud Indian reservation and the provisions of the bill which has been Introduced in tho houso by Mr. Burke of South Dakota, providing for tho opening of the lands to settlement. Mr. Hlnshaw states that tho bill probably will pass both tho houso and senate without amendment, and thnt It seems to ho the general opinion among members Interested that the president will give the meas ure his appioval. It Is believed the Innds will be subject to entry by spring or early summer. In explaining the provisions of the bill now pending in the house, Mr. Hlnshaw says: "Tho bill provides for the sale of 410,000 acres of land In Gregory coun ty, South Dnkota, at $2.5 per ucre, to be paid as follows: Fifty cents itu acre when entry Is made. CO cents with in two yearn after entry, GO cents with in threo years after entry. CO cents within four years after cnty, and tho remaining GO cents an acre within six month after the axplratlon of five years from date of entry. "By paying the full nrlce of the land the settler may commute his entry und lecclve a patent for the land, us Is pro lded In nil homestead entries. These lands in the Rosobud reservation will bo disposed of under the general pro visions of the homestead and townslte lnws of the United Stntes und will bo opened to settlement and entry by the president who will Issue a proclama tion prescribing the routiner In which the lands shnll be settled upon nnd entered. "Union soldieis nnd sailors of the civil war and Spanish war will be given tho same preference as Is prescribed In the general homestead law, and tho pending bill stipulates that sections 1 and 3C of each township shall be ceded to the state of South Dakota for school purposes." The house committee on Indian nf falis ordered a favorable report on tho bill to open for settlement 400,000 ucres of the Rosebud Indian reservation In South Dakota. STILL HOPING FOR PEACE If It It War nnd ICuaaln Winn, Nlin Will Control Half tlm World In pecullnrly frank language Baron Hayaskl. after consultation with the foreign office In London, r.ummed up the situation for the Associated press as follows: "I only hope the czar will give us peace, but my hopes ar- not strong. If we go to wnr it will be for iseues wherein both America and England have insisted' diplomatically. We huvo received uo pledges from any country thnt In the event of defeat It will step In and save us from being absorbed by Russia. Wo can not count even In ex tremities on the armed support of any nation in the world. It would be a struggle to the death. Perhaps we are not strong Jiiough to fight Russiu. There aie two opinions about that." Union llnyuslii intimated that he thought Japan was bound to be beaten in the end. "If we were beaton." the minister re sumed. "Russia would take Korea and Munchurla by -right of conquest and possibly Japan, No power on earth could then dislodge her from central China and all the far east. I am sure It Is better to go to war when you know you are light, even If defeat is possible, than to see your Independence submerged under a continual aKsres- slon that Is bound to absorb you oven tuolly. Nothing can avert war between Russia and Japan in future yeuis, even If peace Is procured now, so long ns Russia pursues her present far eastern policy. "The American action In forcing tho opening of Manchurlan ports" was a splendid example of honest diplomacy. It was a straightforward step, which contrasts favorably with Russian methodB. No other nntlon, except Great. Britain, when tho Biltlsh admir alty bought the two Chilean warships, has taken any practical pteps to live up to its diplomatic demands upon Russiu nticnt the fur east. Wo believe we are now fighting a diplomatic battle in be half of America and Great Britain, but If only war can settle It we know we shall lecelvo assistance fiom neither. We aro prepnicd to fight our own bat tles und lake the consequences." One Ittmalmi f.uw ood The law providing compulsory com pensation for factory employes und miners in the case of all accidents, one of the most Important legislations of the present reign, has become effective In Russia. In the event of death an annuity Is payable not only to widows and legitimate children, but to Illegiti mate children and to the mothers of such children and also to adopted child ren, the annuity to equal tho wages of 260 days tier annum, whereas the aver age of working days only numbers 220. As reliable statistics are not available, the Insurance companies refused to Is sue accident pollclees except at enor mous premiums, so the employers com bined for mutual Insurance. Three Amendment In Panama Treaty The three amendments to the Pan ama treaty relate to sanitation, limita tion of cities and control of harbor. The United States, by the amendment iclatlng to sanitation, Is granted moro direct powor In sanitary regula tions. Tho amendment concerning the limitation of the cities more specific ally defines what aro the limits of Panama and Colon In relation to tho canal zone. The harbor amendment gives the United StatPB control of tho harbois for the purpose of Improvements. WILL MEET AT ST.

Ilryan ray Ilia Iteipecfa to tha Itepithllran Trust Attitude In his speech nt tho banquet held at the LindeH hotel, Lincoln, Mr. Bryan In opening mado a feeling reference to the death of General Vlfqualn. Ho made few references to his trip to Europe, save such as were of friendly Interest In the countries over the water. He suggested that nono of them felt any animosity to tho nUlted Statea and that It was useless to talk of en larging the navy, as thero would never be any need to use It agalnBt these na tions, for tho people over theie would restrain their ruleis should they ever seek war with the United States. He had scathing words for the friends of corporate lnteiests In tho democratic party and said that bo wanted nono of their assistance as tney had brought tho party to Its ebb. He did not want to mortgage the party to the people who would contribute the most, to the campaign fund and would afterward despoil tho nation. In speaking of trusts, after bitterly arraigning thein. Mr. Bryan criticised the president for not being consistent In his opposition to these corporate in terests. He sold he hud not carried on tho war against them to the- point where he might underthe law and aa a result had purchased hlB renomlnn tion at the expense of a neglect of duty lu this direction. Ho usked how It was possible to criticise a man for helling his vote for $i or another per son for selling a postoftlce for $500 when the picsldent had purchased his renomlnntlon at the expense of $100, 000,000 drawn from the pockets of tho people of the United States througt the trusts.' Demurrer Tiled hy Mr. Ilrynn Counsel for William J. Bryan filed In the superior couit nt Now Haven, Conn., a demurrer to the plea In abate ment, recently offered by counsel for the heirs of Phllo S. Bennett, of whose will Mr. Bryan is an executor. The plou iu abatement was to set aside the appeal of Mr. Bryan from tho decision of the judge of probate, excluding tho sealed letter which was left by Mr. Bennett and which provided for a gift of $D0,C00 to Mr. Bryan. The demurrer says tho allegations In the plea constitute no reason for abat ing tho appeul, that Mr Bryan hns no Interest ns executor, or otherwise, ad verso to tho appeal, nnd that his pur pose in appealing Is to effectuate and not to thwart the Intent of tho testator Walter Huso It Now Mayor Waller Iloge. formerly a citizen ot Lincoln, who has resided In the west for a llttlo more than two yeais, was chosen mayor of Forest Grove, Ore gon, at tho late municipal election. Mr. Hogo was at one tlmo engaged In tho newspaper business In Lincoln, nnd Is conducting u bimllar venture lu the western city. Forest Grove Is the sent of Pacific university, one of the first educational Institutions established on tho Pacific const, and since the founding of that school the city has been "dry." Ef forts have been made for hcverul years by tho liquor element to secure tho change of the city's policy In regard to the temperance question but the result ot this election Is considered a final defeat for the advocates of saloons. Other foimer Nobraskans were elected on tho' same ticket, W. B. Har ris and S. B. Stnrrett. both one-tlmo resldentCB of Tecumseh. Tho latter wero chosen on the board ot aldermen. Wlgg Henpocke admits that he Is afraid of his wife. That tukes courage. Wagg Yes; but Talkulot says thar he Isn't, and that takes more. A Hitter of Saint .loieph Diet Mother Aeatha, superior general of the Sisters of St. Joseph, died at the convent of the order In St. Ixiuls.

Mother Agatha wus formerly Miss Phllouicna Guthrie, of St. Ixmls. Just becnuso a man sprinkles ashes on his slippery walk It doesn't prove that ho Is going In the other direction when ho dies. ADDS TO THE COTTON AREA. Paraguay Is About to Engage In the Culture on a Large Scale. The recent advance In tho price of cotton In this country und In EngSKbd has stimulated tho culturd of the ptnhl In other countries. Tho possibility that tho cotton manufacturers of tho world arc facing tho prospect of u dearth of raw material sconiH to have, excited the peoplo of Paraguay. Cot-, if ton grows wild In thnt country, nnd the cultivated product, though differ ent from ours, has a long nnd fine Bta pie. As In Peru, the plnnt 13 a Bmall irec rnthor than a little bush, and It lles ind produces for several years. Euro pean manufacturers have reported sood results from Its use. The Pars ;uaynns, however, have never given .. jiuch attention to Its cultivation. The newspapers of Asuncion linvo suddenly awakened to tho opportune tics presented, and have risen to thi Dccnslon. They nro offering many sup gustlons to the government and assert thnt cotton will yet plnco Paraguay on tho high rond to prosperity. They ask tho government to ompln the services of men of sclcnco, Ilk Dr. Bertonl, to prepare pamphlets foi distribution In thu cotton trade oj Great Britain, France and German), descriptive of the nnturo nnd quallile) of Paraguayan cotton nnd the faclll lies for producing Inrgo supplies of it. v l They ask that Dr. Bertonl, Mr. Anls-lt nnd other experts be engaged to mal' j a survey of tho lands ndnptod to cot ton cultlMitlon In the republic; ulsu that the government print und dWtrll. nte among the farmers of tho lowland.) tho best Information as to tho methods of cottim-rnifclng. "We may in n short time export $100,000,000 worth of cotton In a year.1" announces the enthusiastic Paraguay, a German weekly published at Asuncion. WHAT'S THE BILL GOOD FOR? f Qrooklyn Tailor's Comment on a Re cent Find at Nippur. On the car tho other morning 1 happened to hang by the strap i"'-t lo Blmmelsteln's. Between begging pardons of and grunting pardons to my near neighbors, 1 managed to road n few paragraphs In my newspaper One of them told of a remarkable find by n Nippur expedition of tho Univer sity of Pennsylvania. It was nothliu; less than a well-preserved and thor oughly authenticated tailor's hill near ly 5,000 years old. j , Slnco Blmmclsteln himself is n gaged In tho clothing btiainers. I thought ho would be Interested In thli ancient relic, &o 1 told him about It, but tht! story seemed to make no lm. prcssion on him. "Hang It man," t-ald I, "don't you understand? It's u tailor bill uliuosl u.flou yenre old." "Veil," ho answered, "vot Irs It good for? Dey can't gollect It." No Plain Ccoks. Sir Thomas Home, the president of the Cnnadlun Pacific Railroad, mado recently a tour of Inspection over tho Pennsylvania lino fiom Philadelphia to Pittsburg. j i Sir Thomas was much pleased with the service and cuisine of his dining car. Ho Inspected the kitchen and showed great Interest In the skilled maneuvers of tho cook. Tin. cook, who was something of u. wug, described to him distinguished visitor the kitchens of tho great New York hotels, where tho walls ar of glass, the lloors ot vitrified brick, tho tables of white nmrble, and tho cook; Ing utensils of Gorman sliver. "A great hotol chef," ho said, "hns from fifty to seventy-flvo assistanta under him. I know ono of theso chefs, v and I visited him two weeks ugo. His assistant cooks wore all young women the prettiest lot of young women I ever miw. ' " 'Why, Gaston,' I sajd to my friend, 'why pretty girls you employ!' "'Indeed, they are pretty," said he. 'Plain cooks won't do here.' " Are Kind to Their Horses. Evidently thero is ono place whrro theru is llttlo need of a society for the prevention of cruelty to nnlmuls, und that Is Jersey. Thu farmers thcro are so careful of their horses thatc they do not work them moro than iu absolutely necessary, and frequently tlo work which Is done elsewhere by horses. If a farmer has to plow a heavy piece of ground ho Is obliged to um) Ills team, but if tho ground which Is to be broken up Is light It Is very probable thut ho will take tho place Dt a horse. At first glanco labor of this kind Inay seem very Irksome, but It really is not, for tho fnrms In Jaraoy aro small und It docs not take long to cultivate the ground. Still, In other places whero tho farms aro cqunlly s smnll, no ono thinks of sparing tho horses, nnd thero is llttlo doubt that up-to-dato agriculturists consider tho Jersey farmers far behind tho Union because In tho kindness of their, hearts they are as lenient to their horses us possible.
