Probably no mail order house looms up
more conspicuously than does the "Arm
strong Clothing Company". Many reasons
combine to make it more profitable to trade
with this house than with any other. The
"Armstrong" name is known the country
over,as a signal leader in style,- a name
which carries with it true worth, and a
name backed by a house-which refuses to
sell an article which they can't guarantee.

THE 1 REBATE CONTEMPT CASES
Proceedings Begun in Kansas City
Against Western Railways
Kansas City, Sept. 2. Contempt
proceedings, charging violation of the
order of District Judge John F. Phillips
issued in March, 1902, restraining the
defendants from giving rebates in vio-
Intinn nf tho Intprstflff . rnmmorfo
law were filed in the United
Slates district court against
the Chicago and Alton, the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy, the .Missouri
Pacific, the Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific, and the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe railway companies. These
companies ' are charged with giving
rebates in violation of the restrain
ing order and the court is asked to
cite them for contempt.
The contempt proceedings allege
specifically in the case of the Chicago
and Alton," that that" company granted
rebates amounting to many thousands
of dollars on the shipments of agri
cultural and farming machinery of the
International Harvester company,
"which owns and controls the Deer
ing Harvester company, the McMor
mick Harvester company, the Piano
Harvester company, the South Chi
cago Furnace company and the Illi
nois Northern Railroad company."
It is alleged that.Jhe. Chicago and
Alton agreed with the Illinois North
ern Railroad company to file with the
interstate commerce, commission pre
tended joint tariffs or freight rates
effective from Chicago to Missouri
river points, for the express purpose
of evading the restraining order, and
1 that the Alton agreed and did iff fact
give to the International Harvester
company, twenty-five per cent of said
pretended joint tariff rates.
The proceedings against the Bur
lington railroad are practically iden
tical with those against the Alton.
The proceedings against the Mis
souri Pacific, the Rock Island and
the Santa Fe railroads allege that in
like manner these companies violated
the ; restraining order by giving re
bates to the Hutchinson-Kansas Salt
company, in collusion with the Hutch
Inson and Arkansas River railroad,
which latter company is controlled
and operated by the salt company.
These railroad companies are alleged
to have given the salt company
twenty-five per cent of a pretended
joint tariff rate on salt routed to
points on the Missouri river.
The proceedings were filed by A.
S. Van Valkenburgh, United States
district attorney for the western dis
trict of Missouri at the instigation
of M. D. Purdy,.i assistant attorney
general of the United States.
Judge Phillips today set September
18 as the date open which the dif
ferent companies are ordered to make
their plea to the charges of contempt.
