SCALPERS FRIGHTENED

duoki:rs AfJITATKII OVKR A HILL OW I'EXDIXG IX COIlESS. All Central Territory Lines AMU .Make 5 Cent the Minimum Itnte on Single Consignment. It was stated recently that local ticket scalpers were considerably alarmed over the ptospectivo passage of the Sherman bill now before Conijrfsd, prohibiting the scalpinsr of tickets, and that one of the lo cal scalpers said that it would close up their offices. Indianapolis scalpers are not alone in their anxiety about the matter, and what Is bolnf? done at other points becomes of interest. The Detroit Tribune says: "The bill has greatly disturbed ticket scalpers of this city, who realize that if it is passed they will be minus an occupation, for it Is preposterous to Imagine for a moment that the railway companies would Issue certliicates granting the brok ers tho very privilege the bill! is introduced to take away. As soon as possible afttr learning that the bill had been offered, representatives of the various ticket brok ers associations of this city, the president of the Board of Trade, the president of the Merchants and Manufacturers' Exchange, and about forty wholesale and retail mer chants of this city gent telegrams to Con gressman Corliss protesting against the measure, and requesting him to do all in his power to delay its passage until a hear ing could be had. Replying to one of these telegrams, Mr. Corliss wrote as follows: " 'This bill was prepared and urged by the Interstate-commerce Commission as a wise protection to the traveling public, to rallroaiU and to ticket brokers. The bill was amended in the committee, one amendment suggested by myself which limited its provisions to persons who engage in the traffic of buying and selling tickets. In its original form the bill would apply to all persons. I believe when you examine this bill that you will not regard it as hos tile to your interests. Certainly it will pro tect and uphold an honest broker before the people, and condemn those who aro dishonorable. You certainly cannot prosper against the competition of a dlshonerable broker. I shall be pleased to afford you every possible opportunity to consider the measure. I shall be pleased to know your objections to the measure and give your wishes and Interests due consideration. "Upon receiving the above letter, bam T. Fisk, for the American Ticket Hrokcrs Association, wired Mr. McKenzie, the agent of the association at Washington, as follows: 'Received letter from Congressman Corliss. Seems not to understand situa tion. See him in our behalf and explain purport of bill. He believes that under act will be furnished certificates. " Kansas City and Cleveland scalpers are organizing to tako action against the bill. Southeastern Hates. The Southern Passenger Committee concluded its labors at St. Louis yesterday. In the matter of the party rates, It was decided to confine their use to Iine3 composing tho Southwestern Passenger Committee, and not to offer them to connecting lines for basing purposes. General Passenger Agents John Sebastian, of the Rock Island, James Barker, of the Missouri, Kansas &. Texas and George T. Nicholson, of the Santa Fe, were appointed a committee to confer with the Western Passenger Association and lines in the Southeast relative to changing the present plan of running home-seekers' excursions, with a view to preventing demoralization in rates. With reference to bicycles in crates, where contents aro visible, the chairman was directed to Issue a ruling classifying them as bicycles not crated. One faro for the round trip rates were authorized for tne following events: Inauguration ut Washington: Mardi Gras festivities, at New Orleans: Knights of Pythias conclave, at Hot Springs, May 17 to 1TJ: international convention Y. M. C. A., Mobile. Ala., April 21 to : international conference Y. M. C. A. secretaries, Selma, Ala., April 26 and 1.'7. For the Evangelical German Lutheran Synod, at New Orleans, Feb. 17 to 23. a rate of ono and one-third fare was ordered. Change In Freight Agents. H. B. Rosslngton, for many years freight agent of tho Pennsylvania Company at Fort Wayne, has tendered his resignation to take effect Feb. 1. He will be succeeded by F. E. Sawyer, now agent at South Chi cago. Only four men have tilled the posi tion of Pennsylvania freight ajrent at Port Wayne A. C. Probasco. J. C. Davis, J. K. McCracken and Mr. Rosslngton, each of whom served about ten years. Personal, Local and General ote. W. F. Hruner, assistant peneral passenger agent of the Vandalla, was in the city yesterday on official business. The new union passenger station at Cedar Rapids, erected at a total cost of $225.0u0. was dedicated last evening. The earnings of the Lake Erie & Western the third week of January were ilZ.M less than in tho corresponding week of lSi6. Walter E. Brown will on Feb. 1 become tho traveling freight agent of tho ?t. Iiuis fc Sun Francisco, with ' headquarters at St. Louis. George Lowell, general superintendent of the Monon lines, arrived in the city last evening and will bo hero the greater part of to-day. All the St. Louis lines have announced a rate of one far for the round trip to the inauguration of President McKinley at Washington. Col. S. H. Church, chief of the car service on the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg, has been in the city for a day or two on official business. Most of the trunk lines are running heavy fast express trains during this severe coltl weather, "in two sections, and as a result are making very good time. On Sunday a new train schedule will take effect on the Wabash and the time of train No. 2. east-bound, between St. Louis and New York, will be shortened or.o hour. Some forty clerks In the freight offices of the Rig Four were handsomely entertained on Tuesday evening at the residence of Wm. Garstang by his son, who is an associate clerk. John S. Matson, who has been connected with the Erie for some years, has been appointed superintendent of transportation of the Pittsburg. Ressemer & Lake Erie, Mr. Carnegie's new line. The court has consented that the receiver of the Cincinnati. Jackson & Mackinaw may use the terminals of the Toledo Ann Arbor at Toledo after Feb. 1. instead of those of the Wheeling & Lake Erie. Friends of D. J. Mackey say that the charges against him regarding tlv n flairs of the Peoria. Decatur & Evansville are trumped up in order that certain parties may get out of paying some just obligations. Albert Byrklt. one of the veteran engineers on the Vandalla. has obtained a three weeks' leave of absence, and yesterday, accompanied by his wife, started on an Eastern trip, including Washington and Raltlmore. C. E. Wilson has been appointed assistant general freight agent of the W'isconin Central lines, the appointment to ljeeome effective Feb. 1. T. A. Price, who has been an assistant general freight agent of the same company for some time, remains as such. The Rig Four earned In the third week of January J'j:;".lid.o:i. a decrease as compared with the corresponding week of 1V0 of JllOW.GS. The first three weeks of January the road earned $J.27t."'J. a decrease, as compared with corresponding period last year, of The Columbus. Sandusky & Hocking Railroad has obtained an injunction to prevent D. L. Sleeper. Morris Donahue. H. R. Rutkr. George W. Saul, S. J. Fiiekinger. H. M. I'oston and Anna Ronebrake frcm taking further steps to have a receiver appointed. ' Robert Rodebauch. baggage master running between RIchmor.d and Indianapolis on the P.inhandlo. yesterday morning, just afttr arriving, was tak n with convulsve tits and was removed at once to S:. Vincent's Hospital. Last evening he was reported to le very ill. The Peoria & Eastern linos earned in the tliird week of January $';.::U.v a drvrease as compared with the corresponding week W, of rJ.4T2.32. The lines earned in th lirst three weeks of January $vj,H7.v. a decrease as compared with corresponding period istG of ;-:i.ois.ii. Tho record presented In Congress by Representative Hubbard, of Missouri, in bis bill to provide the death penalty for the crime of train robbery shows that in the past six years there have been 1S3 stoppages of trains for criminal purposes, as a result of which eighty-six persons were

killed and fifty-eight wounded by shots. In 1W alone twenty-three hold-ups were reported. Sunday night the depot of the Wabash Railroad Company at Attica. Ind.. was burned. The building, with its furniture, was valued at On Monday orders were given to at once erect a new depot at that point of more modern style of architecture, to cost $5,000. Yesterday's report showed that at Newport News there were standing on sidetracks 1.500 cars of the Kanawha Dispatch, loaded, with grain awaiting an opportunity to load Into vessels for export. For this reason the Rig Four Is sending all the business it can East via Cleveland. C. II. Con, superintendent of motive power of the Cincinnati. Hamilton &. Dayton, is visiting some of the recently completed railroad shops at different points to get some ideas which will enable him to keep pace with the times in the erection of their new shops at Lima, O. The passenger department of the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton Issued a very neat leaflet setting forth the atractions of their new train between Indianapolis and Raltimore via Washington. It leaves Indianapolis at 7:" a. m.. reac hes Washington at 6:17 a. m. next morning and Raltimore at 7 '.u't rt. rn. The net earnings of the Chicago. Milwaukee & SL Paul for the momn of December were $1.211,. an increase of $4,113 over the same month of last year. Since July 1 the earnings of the road have, been S7t, a decrease of 117.71S from the net earnings of the same period of the preceding liscal year. The annual meeting of stockholders of the Little Miami Railway Company elected four directors, James N. Gamble, William Worthington. of Cincinnati: A. S. Frasier, of Xenia, and J. T. Rrooks, second vice president of the Pennsylvania system. The board of directors later re-elected the present officers. Ford Wood, general freight agent of the Peoria & Eastern road, stated last evening that the last day or two there had been increased inquiry for cars and he thought that tho earnings of the last quarter of January would show a marked improvement over either of tho three lirst quarters of tho month. Kansas City ticket brokers have secured the signatures of a number of wholesale houses to telegrams addressed to Congressman Van Horn and other memlers of Congress, protesting against tho passage of the anti-scalping bill reported in the House of Representatives by Mr. Sherman, of the committee on interstate and foreign commerce. The last few days there has been a heavy movement of freights on the Pittsburg division of the Panhandle. In the forty-eight hours ending at p. m. Monday there were 120 freight trains handled between Columbus and Pittsburg; on Sunday there were twenty-seven west-bound and thirty east-bound freight trains handled on that division. The Wabash has just paid out prizes to Lack foremen $1,200, and General Manager Ramsey thinks it is money well expended. Tho points covered in the competition are drainage, policing, sidings, line and surface level, joints, ties and switches. Some of the English roads are offering prises to station masters for the best kept stations and surroundings. A special train on the Little Miami division of the Panhandle lines, on Tuesday, carrying tho delegates to the convention of manufacturers, to be held in Philadelphia, m;tde tho run from Cincinnati to Columbus, in three hours and five minutes, making four stops, which i3 a good run for this season of tho year and the present weather conditions. General Manager Capo, of the Flint & Pere Marquette, says there is no foundation for the report telegraphed over the country that, in connection with other roads, a new through line was to be established between the Northwest and tidewater, at Norfolk. Va. He says It would be folly for his company to take such a step, when the line Is working so pleasantly with a large number of tidewater connections. Superintendent of Motive Power Potter, of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago road, speaks very enthusiastically of the performance of the large freight engine recently sent from the Vandalla to that road to bo tested. He says it is a very powerful and fast engine of that class and in its performance requires less than any of the larger freight engines now in use on tho Pennsylvania Company lines west. At the meeting of tho Ohio Coal Traffic Association at Columbus yesterday an end was put to tho coal rate war by the association voting unanimously to abrogate all contracts under tariff rates, taking effect last midnight. Some claims for damages will doubtless follow, but these will be met by the association. A committee was appointed to fix a basis for the division of coal traffic. The agreement Is for one year. All of the railroads in Central Freight Association territory have gone back to the practice of charging but 23 cents on package freights, as will be seen by the following notlco issued yesterday by J. F. Tucker, chairman of the Central "Freight Association: "Until further notice the minimum charge on single consignments of freight between points in the Central Freight Association territory will be 25 cents." Unfortunately, the rumor to the effect that negotiations had been resumed by the Rig Four people to get control of the Chicago &c Eastern Illinois has no foundation, although a Chicago paper treated the matter as being well advanced. TVe Danville Commercial, in commenting on the Rig Four's purchase of the C. & E. I rumor says: "A company that can build 150 miles of new road In a year and declare a dividend of 5 per cent, is hardly ready to sell out." C. S. Tomlinson, the general secretary of the National Association of Merchants and Travelers, has addressed a letter to Chairman Caldwell, of tho Western Passenger Association, In which he says his organization has in no way been Identified with the attempt of the different bomes of traveling men which are seeking to force the railroads to a flat rate of 2 cents for all pasenjjrer business. Mr. Tomlinson says that the National Association of Merchants. and Travelers is not in favor of the mca'sure and has refused to indorse it and will use all of Its influence to discourage the granting of the flat rate. It is claimed that the forthcoming statement of the Rurlington road will be a more favorable showing than has been generally expected. The amount of traffic was considerably greater than for the corresponding period of last year and as rates were better maintained, it Is altogether probable that tho road will show a good increase In earnings. The conditions have improved so much of late with the Burlington that it is thought that there will be no reduction in the regular 4 per cent, dividend, as asserted In various quarters. Tho outlook is said to be for much better business in the year just opening. With the taking effect of the Interstatecommerce act many elevators along the lines of railways became of little value, as freight could be loaded at a proportionate rate at any point on a railroad instead of at some small station taking a local rate to some division point, where the elevator then came in good play. Now there is a movement on foot, started by the National Grain Dealers' Association, whereby elevator operators shall receive from the railroads, say 2 cents per bushel for storage or

f handling. The association takes the ground that if railroads do not care to bui'd elevators rr their own the roads be willing to compensate operators who invest money in that direction. C. E. Scharff. general manager of the Rig Four lines, was In the city yesterday afternoon and in the evening went to St. Louis, in a tire on Tuesday the office part of the new freight depot at East St. Louis was destroyed, but the depot proper, t".i) feet long, suffered but bttle. the St. Ixuis tiro department reaching the scene before the flames made any great headway. The lire originated in a singular manner. The steam-heating apparatus gave out and a number of gasoline stoves were put up as a temporary arrangement: a barrel of gasoline was purchased and Placed in the basement, and in getting it down the men lost control of it: the barrel burst and the gasoline flowed along the floor until it reached tne nre unuer one 01 ine oouers. wnen a moment later the building was in flames, or the part of It where the offices were, and all the bcoks and papers were destroyed.

IN BEHALF OF HER SEX

3IISS HEMJRICKS, FIRST WOMAX TO PLEAD BEFORE M' PRE. ME tOlHT. She Makes a Strong, Concise Argu ment In a Case Involving u AVouinu's Right. A case was argued before the Supreme Court yesterday in which, for the first time in the history of the State, a woman appeared in oral argument. The modern Portia is Miss Carolino Hendricks, of this city. She is a member of the firm of Ayres & Jones and graduated from the University of Indianapolis Law School last June. Miss Hendricks had the satisfaction of making her first plea as a defender of the rights of her own eex, claiming a woman's right to a share in her husband's land In case of a judgment and sale of such land in a parti tion against her husband, she not being a party. Ihe land which is concerned In the suit is in Hannaman's south addition to the city of Indianapolis and is a valuable piece of property. Miss Hendricks enoke for nearly half an hour, quoting authority both from memory and from reference like an old attorney. Her manner is earnest and businesslike, free from all oratorical flight and flowery expressions. Her argument was clear and concise and would have done credit to a brother lawyer of tho opposite sex, older both in years and in practice. A CYCLIST'S SUIT. SuKun J. Hanuey Claim Damages for lleinur Thrown from Iter AYJieel. Susan J. Hanney yesterday filed suit against Ixniis F. Smith for $5,000 damages. Tho complaint recites that last June the plaintiff was riding a bicycle on North Illinois street and camo into collision with Smith, through no fault of her own and entirely through the negligence of the defendant. She was badly bruised and was carried Into a house near by where the ac cident occurred. Tho plaintiff claims to have received permanent injuries. Pawnbroker Ludwlg's Trial. Charles G. Ludwig, the pawnbroker charged with receiving stolen goods, is on trial in the Criminal Court. Ludwig yesterday morning testified to having several wheels in his possession, and said that De tectives Kinney and Splan had looked over somo of them and told him to be on the lookout for two wheels, Nos. 1727 and 03. which had been stolen. He had advanced $7 to a man named Williams on a wheel which he took home and stored in his attic, and which his books showed to be numbered 1127. When the attic was raided seventeen bicycles were found, among them the two wheels of which the detectives nad been In search. ExpreNN Company Tax CaHes. Attorney General Ketcham spent yester day afternoon in tho courthouse assisting In the preparation of the transcript for the appeal of the tax case against tho Adams, American and United States Express Companies. This is the case in which the State sued to collect a fiO-per-cent. penalty from the companies for having failed to pay the taxes when due. The case went against the companies in the Circuit Court, but the State holds that tho allowance of the court was not as much as it should have been. Probate 3Iatter?i. Yesterday Simeon P. Gillette was ap pointed coexecutor with his brother, Philip G. Gillette, of the last will of their father, the late Samuel T. Gillette. The coexecutor's bond was fixed at $10,000. Roger R. Shiel was appointed guardian of the person and estate of John R. Trimble. Rond, WAS). Ricliier, Not Hitter. Tho suit of Stella J. Dunn against Eli Richter. in which judgment was given for $10, erroneously appeared in print yesterday with Eli Ritte.r as the defendant. THE COURT RECORD. Snpreiae Conrt. 17S37. Guy vs: Blue. Kosciusko C. C. Affirmed. McCabe, J. 1. The use of epithets in a pleading is not sufficient to showfraud, but the facts constituting the fraud must be distinctly averred. 2. An error of the trial court in sustaining a demurrer to a pleading Is. waived by the party com plaining or the error wnen he rails to discuss the question in his briefs. 17J01. Sutherland vs. O Donnell. Wash ington C. C. Reversed. Monks. J. This case Is decided upon the authority of cause No. 172:6, Sutherland vs. McKinney, - decided at this term of court. 17S.V. Rartlett vs. Manor. Delaware C. C. Affirmed. Hackney, J. 1. A proceeding to substitute one will, not probated, for another which has been probated involves the contest of the latter will and the procedure must be In accord with the rules of the statute, which require that the pe tition or complaint be filed within three years after tho will has been offered for probate. 2. When a right is given and a procedure for its enforcement is provided by a special statute, the procedure so -provided excludes resort to another or differ ent procedure. 2. When time i.3 of the essence of the right created, and the limita tion Is an inherent part of the statute or agreement under which the right in question arises, so that there is no right of action independent of the limitation, such special limitations extinguish tho right rather than effect the remedy. 4. Tho statute of wills is special with reference to the right of contest. 5. Tho general statute of limitation has no effect upon the time given in which a will may be contested. 17. 0o. ualentine vs. Rrubaker. Koscius ko C. C. Motion to dismiss postponed until hnal hearing. Appellate Court. 1SSS. Kelso vs. Kelso. Knox C. C. Petition for rehearir.g overruled. Wiley, J. A motion for a new trial was overruled June 2t.i, 193. to which decision of the court the defendant took exceptions, and ninety days were given him In which to file his bill of exceptions. The time for filing his bill expired Sept. 2'. lSTw; It appears from the face of the record that the long-hand report of the evidence was filed in the clerk's office Dec. 21. isn3. Held that as the evidence must precede the filing, of the bill of exceptions the evidence was not properly In the record." Held, also, that the bill after having been signed bv the judge must be affirmatively shown by the record to have been filed in the clerk's office within the time allowed. 2012. Cement Company vs. Wright. Clark C. C. Reversed. Henley, J. 1. A paragraph of complaint which shows that the work at which the decedent was engaged when he was killed was entirely different from the work which he was cmpolyed to do, and was more dangerous and hazardous than such work, and had to be performed with different workmen, operating under different rules and methods, and with appliances and in a place distinct and different from that of the work which decedent was employed to to do, states facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. 2. This court will not presume that the decedent knew of the dfe4t.in the machinery, if any there were, in the face of the allegation in the complaint that he did not know of them. 3. Where a witness shows himself sufficiently familiar with the subject, and has been in the life insurance business for eight years, and that his companies supply him with tables giving the expectancy of life, he may refer to his tables and tell the jury the decedent's expectancy of life. 4. The burden of proof is upon the plaintiff to show that the decedent had knowledge of any defect in the machinery with which he worked and which caused his death; also, to show that the decedent had not assumed the risk of danger.

STATISTICS SHOWING THE CROWD1G OF PASSENGERS LAST MCJI1T. Even the Cold-Weather Straw Has lleen Abandoned SInee "Perpetual" Rights Were Discovered. Last night a half hour before the shops closed until a half hour after the last tired store clerk quit his work to make his way homeward the best ho could, people struggled to get a foothold on the Citizens Street-railway Company's sardino cases. Every car that turned off Washington street was so crowded that the lights from the incandescents in the car could hardly find space between the human beings to throw its beams to tho street outside. Between most of these cars there was double the wait which tho schedule calls for, and the suffering people had to stand on the corner and educate themselves up to the misery which the ride home entailed. "I suppose," said one man who waited twenty minutes at the postoffite corner for a Pennsylvania-street car, "that the company cannot find enough men to run the cars, else they would run more of them. Car after car without a trailer has passed this point during the last hour, and on every car were men straining and clutching at the platform hand rails to keep from being hurled to the pavement." Just then a man evidently a mechanic or a laborer, from his dress stepped up and begged the waiting passenger, in the name of God, to give him a nickel or a dime that he might get something to eat. No work not a job anywhere. "There are many of us poor devils hunting for work, and wo ain't bums, either," he added to his plea. x "No doubt," tho prospective passenger went on, after the hunger-stricken man had muttered his thanks and moved away, "no doubt, I say, this is the reason the company incommodes its patrons. Hot enough men idle to man these trailers, I am sure. I see by the papers that the financial papers of the East say tho Citizens' Streetrailway Company's receipts have increased so much that there are prospects of the stock looking up. It seems to me the company would put on more cars and tako in more money. That's the logic of the situation." "Rats'" ejaculated a friend. "That's a poor idea of logic. If ninety people will crowd into a car built for thirty people, and pay 5 cents fare, where Is the logic in providing three cars? The company is not in business for its health, nor lor its patrons' health, cither, as you can well see by the way it breeds disease in making btock cars of its rolling stock. Why, the money tney save one night on the Collegeavenue line alone wouid enable tnat man Verner to buy one of his wine suppers lor twenty legislators, if lie couiu lma that many wno would accept nis contaminating hospitality." It is recalled oy several passengers who have been using the street cars in this city for the last nttcen yeaxs that a itv yeais ago on cold days like those of the week past the street-car company covered the floors of the cars with straw, and this smail accommodation was welcomed. Even the straw nas been torgotten since the company discovered that it has a perpetual iranchise to the streets of the city. . In Chicago electric cars are as warmly neated as a drawing room, and this is done by a simple heating device, the electric current furnishing tho heat. The device is placed under the scats, and the cost of supplying the neat beyond tno first cost of tne device is practically nothing. An ordnance will probably be introduced at a near meeting of the City Council requiring the company to heat its cars in this city during coin weather. Last night the cash-fare registers of the College-avenue cars going north, irom 5:30 o'clock on, were noted. The cars seat about thirty people, and yet the following was shown: Car No. W)7 had liUy-six passengers, sixty on No. 549, sixty-two on No. 50."), lifty-one on No. &00, sevtnty-eignt on No. T.47 and sixty-two on No. Mi. On the Erightwood and Columbia-avenue lines tho boxes are about the size of those used in the days of tho mule, and each will contain about twenty-five people by crowding. Yet ear No. 243 had fifty passengers and No. 157 had forty-two. Car No. 51 i on the Clif-ford-avenue line had cignty-seven passengers. On several of the cars the conductors had to stop the cars for rive minutes while he jumped oil and collected from men who were dragging behind on the draw bar, the brake and the hand rail. On Prospect street car No. 27, which left Washington street last evening a little after o'clock, it was difficult to count all the passengers. On the platform nineteen people were crowded, many hanging on merely by their hands and toes. lieforo the car reacned the end of Virginia avenue twelve people of those who were packed inside had left it. There were then seated in the car twenty-nine people, which, with those who had left it and those on the platform, made sixty. TUiere were standing inside the car fully as many as were seated, which made a total of eighty-nine who were on the car when it left Washington street. One woman said Ihe only consolation she could find for the inconvenience of being jammed so tsgnuy between two men that she could not move was the fact that she was kept warm. This crowded condition of the evening cars is not simply an exception due to the cold weather, but it is a common occurrence on the cars leaving down town at o'clock and for a half hour before and after. Left the Saloon and Fought. Charles Lewis and John Buck were arrested yesterday for assault and battery upon each other. The light occurred Tuesday night, and Buck bears evidence of having been a participant. He and Lewis quarreled In a saloon at the corner of Michigan and Noble streets, and Buck Invited Lewis to step outside to settle It. Buck went out and Lewis followed. Ruck started to take off his overcoat and Lewis told him there would be no fight. Ruck was sadism d to let the matter drop and started to pull on his coat, when Lewis struck him squarely between the eye. The blow knocked Ruck down and Lewis then proceeded to give him a severe whipping, which Ruck's appearance testifies, was accomplished. Roth of Buck's eyes are black and he has Isewral bruised places about the face and head. cience says that the coming man (also the 'coming woman") will depend for food supclv more on tho chemist and the laboratory than on the products of the field and farm. However that may be, it is sure that intelligent people everywhere now depend upon Liebig COMPANY'S Extract of Beef as a palatable, concentrated food procliict, indispensable as a stock for soups, sauces and made dishes, and as beef tea, nourishing and refreshing.
