For the Stomach Heart and Kidneys Dr. Shoop's Restorative is a Cause Cure—not a Symptom Cure. It is a common mistake to take artificial digesters tor stomach troubles —or heart stimulants for weak heart—or so-called kidney remedies for diseased kidneys. These organs do not act separately or ot their own accord —they have no control over themselves—and not once in 800 times is the sickness the fault of the organ. It is ths fault of the nerves which control the organ—and only through these A nerves can stomach, kidney lor heart be cured. Dr. Shoop, of Racine. learned early tn his medical that these inside nerves were the ;>ower nerves - tha through them onlv was it slbletocureindv belch.iisoninia.^AßHHHKH^Hß^bae'» ac h heart weak- and Brights wUMjMMwea-- and all oib, of the kidneys. For all ofW|[VrHJM||y these ailm'-nta are not separatesicknesses and They are merely symptoms nerve weakness, and when are restored the symptoms and the^^Fsickness disappear. The remedy which Dr.VShoop prescribed for these ailing nerves is known as Dr. Shoop's Restorative. It relieves the pain and distress of kidney, stomach and heart troubles quicker even than those medicines designed simply to give temporary relief. Dr. Shoop's Restorative can now be had of druggists everywhere. For aal* and recommended by A. F. LONG, snffl C DEALER IN < lE. wijffl ood toft . > RENSSELAER. IND. >

WOE FOR THE PACKER

Said To Be Done Up in a Report the President May Withhold. DEPENDS ON THE BIG BUTCHERS If They Defeat the Proposed Extra ’* Inspection, Publicity. If They Don’t, Then the PigeonholeCon ferrees on the Kate Bill Meet Senate's “Monumental Folly.” Washington, May 29.—An Important conference was held at the White House regarding the meat inspection amendment of Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, to the agricultural appropriation bill. The president discussed the question with Senator Carter, of Montana, and Professor Charles P. Neill, commissioner of labor, who investigated certain packing houses, and later talked over the matter with Beveridge. A part of the information, collated by Professor Neill and James B. Reynolds, of New York, who colaborated with Professor Neill, has been reduced to concrete form, but the Information in its entirety is not in the form of official reports. It is not the present Intention of President Roosevelt to make public this information. He does not regard it as official, in the same sense that term ordinarily is employed. Position of the President. At the conclusion of the conference Carter dictated the following statement bearing upon the president's attitude: “The meat inspection amendment placed on the agricultural bill has met with the opposition of the packers and their friends, who seem to be bending every effort to defeat it. The president says that if the amendment is enacted Into law he will be content to remedy the evils complained of there through the law. If, however, the amendment is defeated he will feet constrained in the discharge of his official dnty to the public to send to congress the reports in his possession relating to the abuses existing in the packing houses. Why He Opposes Publicitj* “He feels that it is better to refrain from making tlie reports public, not through any regard for the beef packers particularly, but because an official tatement of the facts would Injure the stock raisers of the country, thus making them innocent victims of a line of abuses for which they were not primarily in any sense responsible. The only answer.that can. be made to the consumers of our meats at home and abroad will be the enactment of a law through which an efficient and sufficient inspection shall be made.” Question of Who Shall Pay, Carter said that the packers have askeel for more time in which to consider the amendment. “One of the principal questions which they are considering.” he said, “is whether they or the government shall pay for the Inspection service. It seems a foregone conclusion that they will decide that Uncle Sam should pay for the work.” Beveridge believes it more practicable for the packers to pay the expenses of the inspection provided for In the amendment than for the government to pay them. He points out that the expense will not exceed 5 cents on a carcass of beef and 3 cents on a carcass of hog. While the aggregate of expense will probably be sl.500,000 a year, it will be so widely distributed that it will not fall as a burden on the CONFERREES GET TOGETHER Senator Calls the Pass Amendment “Monumental Folly.” Washington. May 29.—Ten minutes after the senate conferrees on the rate bill were appointed Chairman Elkins called a meeting of the joint conferrees and they assembled in Elkins' room. The meeting was only preliminary. though there was some discussion of the bill. The house conferrees were asked to present any objections they had to the “wisdom of the sen nate” in amending the hoqse bill. ‘'We commend to yon,’’ said one of the senators. “as a piece of our monumental folly the anti-pass amendment, but you may do as you will with it.” The reports of the Interstate commerce commission of its findings in connection with the recent hearings in Philadelphia, Washington and Cleveland Into the subjects of coal and oil will not be prepared for some time, and in the opinion of one of the commissioners they may not be ready in time for presentation to congress at its present session. The statement is made that only a part of the testimony has been beard, and that further hearings will be necessary before the commission will be in a position to prepare reports of Its conclusions. The times and places of such hearings will be announced as soon as. possible. SHERIFF SOMEWHAT DEFIANT Says the Supreme Court Is Responsible for a Lynching. Washington, May 29. —The government has taken steps to punish the jwrsons who were responsible for the lynching In Chattanooga, Teno., on March 19 last, of the negro Ed John-

son, who under .sentence of death for attacking a white woman had been allowed an appeal by the United States supreme court. In the supreme court Attorney General Moody filed an Information requesting that, in consideration of the acts committed by the twenty-seven men named, It Issue a rule upon each of them, to show cause why he should not be punished for contempt, of court. The rule was Issued as requested. Among the men named is the sheriff of the county. Now the sheriff has possibly laid himself liable to another charge of contempt. A telegram from Birmingham, Ala., says that “John F. Shipp, of Chattanooga, sheriff of Hamiltoncounty, Tenn., against whom steps have been taken by the federal government in connection with the lynching in that city in March, spent the day in Birmingham. Captain Shipp said he was not alarmed over the news from Washington and continued: “ ‘The supreme court of the United States was responsible for this lynching. I had given that negro every protection that I could. * * * In my opinion that act of the supreme court of the United States in not allowing the case to remain in our courts was the most unfortunate thing in the history of Tennessee. * ■ ♦ • The people of Hamilton comity were willing to let the law take its course until it became known that the case would probably not be disposed of for four or five years by the supreme court of the United States. The people would not submit to this and I do not wonder at it.’” Missouri Must “Pay the Freight.” Washington, May 29. —The supreme court has granted the motion of the state of Illinois for an order requiring the state of Missouri to pay the costs in the recent case between the states Involving the right of the Chicago sanitary canal to empty its waters in the .Mississippi river.

TROUBLE IS OVER IN ILLINOIS

Coal Operators to Pay the 1903 Scale —U. M. W. Yields on the ShotFirers' I<aw. Chicago, May 29.—C0al operators In Illinois have decided to yield to the demands of the miners for the scale of 1903. The question of a settlement is declared to be a matter of detail, and by the beginning of next week mining will be resumed in Illinois with union men. In return for the restoration ot the 1903 scale of wages the Illinois miners have agreed to pay the wages of shot-firers and to ask for the repeal of the law by the next legislatureThey have agreed also to indemnify the operators for loss sustained through tlie action of pit committees in calling unauthorized strikes. This latter grievance was one of the most serious objections the operators had against the union. Under tlie new agreement the union will Jh* responsible for the conduct of the miners and guarantee that no such strikes will Ispermitted in tlie future. The strike has been on for sixty days, and involves 55,000 miners.

RUSSIA FACES REVOLUTION

Firm Stand of the Ixiwer House of Parliament Causes Panic. St. Petersburg, May 29.—The government is in a panic as a result of the deliberate defiance of the lower house of parliament in demanding the retirement of the ministry. At no time has the danger of a general revolution been so acute. The action of the lower house has brought matters to a crisis and from its stand there can now be no retreat. By declaring it proposes to exercise full parliamentary rights with a responsible ministry it has become in tlie eyes of the law a revolutionary body. Constant conferences have been held at I'eterhoff. but no definite plan of action lias been determined upon. While recognizing the gravity of the situation, the czar is vacillating as usual. The bun-aucraey is for dra-tie action, but there is a strong faction that still hopes for coinpronii.se. The sentiment of tlie constitutional democrats is voiced by M. Kokosliiue, who declares the czar must choose between a real const!tutionni government and tlie loss not only of his crown, but his head as well.

President Roosevelt, with bis wife and two of his children, went to Portsmouth, Va„ where lie was scheduled to deliver the Memorial Day address. The Woman’s Relief Corps at Wash Ington held annual exercises at the base of the Lincoln statue in the rotunda of the Capitol.

IMPORTANT ACTION

Senator Beveridge’s Meat Inspection I Bill Passed by the Senate Without Discussion. SANITARY RULES ARE RIGID PropoMd New Law Places the Packing Houses Under Strict Requirements as to the Wholesomeness of Thslr Products—An Amendment to the Agricultural Bill That Will Be of Far-Reaching Importance. One of the moat important measures passed by the United States senate so far this session was the Meat Inspection bill, introduced by the senior sen- - ator of Indiana, Albert J. Beverdige. This bill was introduced after a conference of President Roosevelt, Secretary of Agriculture Wilson and Senator Beveridge. The Beveridge bill provides for the inspection of animals on the* hoof, and also for the Inspection of all food products prepared in any slaughtering, canning, salting, packing, rendering or similar establishment. It is provided that nothing in the way of meat products shall go to the public for consumption until it bears the label “Inspected and passed.” Rigid Sanitary Rules. Rigid sanitary rules for all packing houses are laid down In the proposed law. It is made the duty of the government inspectors to inspect the sanitary condition of packing houses as well as to Inspect the animals offered for slaughter and the meat offered for sale. In order to make the law effective It Is provided that on and after Jan. 1, 1907, no person, firm or corporation shall transport or offer for transportation. and no carrier of Interstate commerce shall transport or receive for transportation from one state or territory or the District of Columbia, or any place under the jurisdiction of the United States, or to any foreign country, any carcasses, meat or food products thereof which have not been Inspected. examined and marked as “inspected and passed,” in accordance with the provisions of this act. It is provided that any meat food product packed in any can, tin, pot or canvas shall bear the government label before ft can enter Interstate commerce. The secretary of agriculture is authorized to fix a schedule of fees for the inspection of animals on the hoof and for the inspection of meats and meat products. It is proposed that these fees shall defray the cost ot inspection. A fine of $10,(>00 and imprisonment Is the penalty fixed for any violation of the provision of the proposed law. This bill was passed on last Friday as an amendment to the agricultural appropriation bill. More than ordinary significance attaches to the action of the senate in adopting it. The bill was passed without debate or the formality of a reference to committee and practically under a threat from the president that if congress did not pass the bill he would send a special message on the subject accompanied by a report of an investigation made by Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Reynolds and Commissioner of Labor Neill into the meat packing industries of the country, which Is little short of startling in its findings and recommendations. Will Not Be Changed. It is understood that everything was arranged, had the senate refused to act in the matter, to have the president send the special message, accompanied by the report ot the department of labor, which would have afforded tne country quite as much of a sensation regarding the operations of the meat packing houses as did the Garfield report of Standard Oil. Senator Beveridge has assurance from the probable conferees, on the agricultural bill that the amendment will not be changed in any particular. If it is he will take the matter up on the floor of the senate in a speech in which he promises to be backed up by the president’s message and special report that is expected to arouse the public to such an extent that immediate action will be demanded of congress. This is one instance In which the president has had the unquestioned advantage of the corporations. The mere threat on his part to send In to congress a special message dealing with the conditions In the packing houses was sufficient to quiet all opposition to the Beveridge bill when it was offered as»an amendment to the agricultural appropriation bill. The secret of the prompt adoption of the Beveridge bill as an amendment, it is said, is that the beef packers want nothing said about what the government agents discovered in their plants. Senator Beveridge called on the president and expressed the belief that his amendment was about as effective as could be made. “I believe that the bill contains as perfect, if not the most perfect, meat, beef and cattle inspection in the world,” said Senator Beveridge. - "The bill does not change the existing law regulating the inspection of meats for the export trade. It eimply provides that an American shall know that he is getting as good meat as the foreigner, who hae always been well protected under our inspection laws. Our people are about as good as those abroad, it seems to me, and are antitled to the same consideration." Read The Democrat for news.
