GRAIN RATES TO BE ADVANCED IN MAY Traffl a Assaclatloa Wttlti Make Sew Rates Effective la April, . Interstate Commerce Con snlssloa Iaterveaed. WASHINGTON. March 9X In accordance with their intention expressed aome time o, the railroads constituting the western trunk linos, the Central Traffic association and the Eastern Trunk lines, have filed with the Interstate Commerce commission tariff increasing- their rates on eastbound grain and grain produots, to become effec tive about April L This action was taken. It Is understood, because of the enactment by legislatures of some of the western states of laws regarded aa inimical to their Interests. The particular law to which the rail roads took exception was the two-oent fare act of the legislature of Nebraska. Soon after the passage of the act, officials of the railroads Interested held a meeting In Chi cago at which it was decided not only that they should test the constitutionality of the measure but that It would be necessary for them to Increase their freight rates on east bound grain. When the new tarlJTs were filed with the commission it appeared that the conditions warranted that body in making a sugges tion to the carriers that the time for the Increased rates becoming effective should be postponed temporarily. To this sugges tion the carriers cheerfully acquiesced. In accordance with the agreement reached the commission has Issued an order granting the carriers permission to at once post and file, effective April 1, 1907, amendments postponing the date of the taking effect of the proposed advances in rates on grain and grain products to Mar 1, leaving the present rates in effect until that day and on that date cancelling the present rates and making the advanced rates effective. In making this order the commlaaton does not bar any complaints that may be made to it of the advanced rates by shippers. Indeed, It Is expected that complaints will be received, and If they should be the com mlssslon will consider them on their merits. alts la Alabama. MONTGOMERY, Ala., March 30. An or der was Issued by the United States cir cuit court today temporarily restraining any application of the new railroad rats and railroad regulation acts of the legis lature. The Injunction Is to stand until the contentions of the railroads that these acts are ruinous and Unconstitutional can be judicially determined. The laws restrslned enact the rates of freight on June 1 as ths maximum rates for the future, the 2-cent passenger fare regulation and the act classifying railroad charges upon commodities.

BUCHAREST. March 0. Field guns loaded with grapeshot, according to ths oflicial report, are winning against ths revolutionary peasantry, whose arms are mostly hay forks and scythe blades. The Insurgents were able to hold their own against the troops at close quarters and even withstood cavalry charges, doing ter rible execution with long pronged forks and scythe blades strapped to long poles, but the slaughter alnos the troops used ar tillery appears to be terrifying them Into submission. In the district of Vlashi, where the out break was particularly serious, large num bers of Insurgents have surrsndered and have denounced their leaders to the au thorities with, the result that many of the latter have been arrested. The govern ment hopes that with the leaders In jail the undisciplined bands will soon abandon the field. The self-styled "generals" usually turn out to be country schoolmasters and village priests. Many women are fighting in ths Insurgent ranks and some of them have been found among the killed, side by aids with their husbands, sons and brothers. Details of the attack made by ths peas ants on OalaU show that a pitched battle was fought. The insurgents, who were several thousand strong, carried ths outer earthworks by storm and captured a suburb which they set on fire after pillaging- It Three battalions of Infantry attempted to stem the peasants' entry into the city it self, but ths fork and scythe-armed rustics fought desperately, hand to hand, and had almost routed the troops when the governor ordered field guns, loaded with grapeshot, to be fired at the Insurgents, who wavered and then fled. The fire of the guns wrought great havoo on the retreating masses. A number of conflicts between troops and marauders continue to be reported. Two thousand insurgents at QorJ are said to have been quieted by the assurances of the authorities, without resort to force. One hundred and fifty more rioters have been wounded at Balleeohtchl and several of them killed and many arrested. Ar tillery was used st Cucuestt, Valoelele and elsewhere and in aome Instances whole vil lages ars said to have been utterly de stroyed by the fire of nine-Inch shells. Although ths disorder ere dying down In some districts, ths agitation Is spresdtng In the provinces adjacent to the Carpathian mountains, which hitherto hsvs been quiet. Much plundering and incendiarism has taken place among the farms and In Iso lated hamlets. Troops ars in sctlvs pursuit of the marauders. With ths object of preventing, so far aa possible, the fraternisation of troops and peasants belonging to the same districts. snd also ths possibility of fighting between relatives belonging to the opposing foroes In ths revolutionary districts, ths Moldavian troops belonging to ths Fourth army corps hsve been transferred to Little Wallachla, while the Wallachlan troops attached to the First army corps havs been detailed for duty In Moldavia.

Colds ars ths special banes of childhood and oftsn lay the foundation for the more serious diseases of after life. One child catches cold and scares its mothsr into hysterics by having croup in ths dead of the night. Another child catches cold and before it has fully recovered from It takes another cold, and perhaps before that Is ovsr con tracts a fresh one. This succession of colds, or evsn the neglect of a common cold. causes ths Inflammation of the mucous membrane, which was at first acute, to be come chronic and the doctor will tell you that the child has chronlo catarrh, from which hs will never fully recover. Another child catches cold. Little stten- tlon Is paid to It ss the child has often had colds and always recovered from them. but in this Instanea a stubborn cough Is developed. Ths parents sre filled with forebodings. Still another child catches cold, and could easily have been cured by proper treat ment but being neglected, develops ths most fatal - malady of childhood, pneu monla. Ths doctor Is called and pronounces It lung fsver, and If ths child Is lucky enough to live it has developed weak lungs, making It susceptible to all lung diseases. Svsry ons of these children could have been cured by the prompt uss of Cham berlaln's Cough Remedy. A few doses of It and the child's cold Is gons. It counter acts any tendenoy of a oold to result In pneumonia, quickly -dispelling all fear 01 that dangerous disease. It Is also a certain cure for croup and has never been known to fall. When given as soon as ths eroupy cough appears it will prevent ths attack. A medicine of such great worth and merit as Chamberlain's Cough Remedy should be kept in every bouse where there are young children. Don't wait until the child Is sick and then send to the drug stors for It, but hsve It on band ready far Instant use when needed. "77" flU the vest pocket At Druggists, 2t oents, or mailed.
