Glenwood Springs, Colo., April 20. President Roosevelt's hunting trip has been crowned with success fur beyond his expectations or those of the most sanguine of his guides. Three bears were killed by the party Tuesday, and two Monday, one by the president and one by Dr. Lambert. P. I). Stewart of Colorado Springs, one of the presi dent's hunting companions, arrived here, accompanied by Courier Chap man. They brought the story of the hunt. The killing of the three bears was telephoned to them and they un derstood thnt President Roosevelt brought down two of them, but the details are lacking. The party Is almost snowbound In its present location and no attempt will be made to cross the divide. Fifteen feet of snow is on tho ground on the other side and any effort to reach Redstone would be futile. Tho hunters are satisfied, however, for they have i cached the center of what the guides say Is the best boar coun try In Colorado. Bobcats aro thick In the country now being hunted, so plentiful In fact (that many are al lowed to escape without a shot being fired in their direction. Several fine skins have been taken, however The bear killed by the piesldent was of the brown variety, not so heavy, hut furnishing a much finer pelt than the one killed last week. One of the bears killed Is said to bo a grizzly. It was within an area of seven miles that all live of the bears wore killed. Tliis spot was about sixteen or eighteen miles from camp, and every animal gave the dogs and hunt ers n long chase. All of them treed, which forced the hunters to kill them without further accident to the dogs. Thus tar only one dog has been killed. It was killed by the first bear shot. HINES TALKSTO SENATORS. Former Employe of Louisville and Nashville Before Committee. Washington, April 25. The senate committee on interstate commerce re sumed the hearing of the railroad rate question. Walker D. Hines, form erly of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company, appeared before the committee. Mr. Hines discussed what he termed a prevalent Impression that the inter state commerce commission had no power under the present law becauso the law was ineffective and nsserted that this Impression was due largely to declarations by members of the commission to that effect. He said there now was a substantial control of rates by the commission and that the present law was very effective. During the discussion of the Intent of the present law, Senator Cullom said nobody believed that power to J fix rates was given to the commission. Mr. Hines explained that one of the serious results of allowing a commis sion to fix rates would be that all rates so fixed would bo permanent, that when conditions changed which required a change of rates It would be Impossible to have the change made, because the commission would be so overwhelmed with cases that it would not consider tho request. Combinations or railroads, said Mr. Hines, had a tendency to decrease rates. Railroads reached out for busl ni'Hs and struggled for business and reduced rates. Government May Take Rebate.

SUMMARY OF CROP CONDITIONS. Some Injury Has Resulted From Freez ing In Nebraska and South Dakota. Washington, April 20. The weekly bu nnnary of crop conditions, issued by the weather bureau, Is as follows: Rather slow progress with corn plant ing was made during the week, ex cepting in Missouri and Kansas, where this work advanced satisfac torily. Preparations for planting have been actively carried on in Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois. The cold weather was injurious to corn in the south. While the growth of winter wheat has not been rapid, owing to the ab sence or warmth, the condition of this crop is promising in nil districts. Spring wheat seeding Is now well advanced In the northern portion or tho spring wheat region and Is prac tically finished in the central and southern portions. Germination and growth of tho early sown have been very slow and some injury has result ed from freezing in South Dakota and Nebraska. Oats also need warm weather to promote growth, which has been gen erally slow, but on the whole the out look for this crop is favorable. Some damage by freezing Is reported from South Dakota and Nebraska. Seeding is well advanced in northern secttonti. Fruit prospects have been further lessened durlngthe past week throughout the Ohio valley, east gulf states and on the Atlantic coast south of New England, peaches suffering most. In the states of the upper Mis souri valley and In the lake region the fruit outlook is more promising. . t Take L,axailve Dromo quinine Tablets. ? Seven Mmion boxes sold In past 12 months.
