such authority, as to Intrastate bubiness, to be similar in extent to that now possessed by the Interstate Commerce Commission aa to Interstate transactions. , , The Railroad Commission . act should be so amended as to permit the issuance by common carriers of non-negotiable bills of lading heretofore known as "straight consignment" bills of lading, which have never possessed a negotiable character. The safety appliance law should be so amended as to provide punishment for the wrongful destruction or interferences with safety appliances or appliances used to protect highway crossings; such destruction or interference being a misdemeanor. A Trespassing Law. A statute should be passed to prevent trespassing upon railroad tracks, and punishing all persons using such tracks as a footway.

"The cities and towns law should be so amended as to give the commission authority to require the removal of lateral and overhead obstructions near railroad tracks in cities and towns. Against Grade Crossings. A law should be enacted providing for the elimination of grade crossings throughout the state, by requiring the steam and electric roads to separate a specified number of grades each year, for each 100 miles of railroad or fraction thereof, owned or operated by them The expense of separation should be divided between the railroads and the counties, cities or towns wherein the crossings are located, according to . some fair basis.

pass under or through railway gates at highway crossings when the same

are down. ''

so amended as to permit an appeal' to

the' Railroad Commission from; town boards and city councils, in regard

to ordinances governing the speed of

railway trains within the corporate limits.

AS ELIHORSEES US

Author of "Three Weeks"

Says That American Men Are "Old Aunts."

HUBBIES FETCH AND CARRY

New York, May 14. That American

men are like "kind aunts and grand

mothers" is the opinion of Elinor Glyn, as expressed in her latest book, embodying her observations while on her last visit . to this country. The book, "Elizabeth Visits America," Is in the form of letters of Elizabeth to

her mother.

"American men," she says, "are of

quite another sex to English or French. "You feel more as if you were out with kind aunts or grandmothers or benevolent uncles than just men. They don't try to make love to you or say things with two meanings and they are perfectly serious.'

Of the American husband Mrs. Glyn

says they "fetch and carry like trained spaniels." But if our men fail to

please. Mrs. Glyn has kind words for

our women.

"No other nation can compare to

them in their exquisitely spruce, exquisitely soigne appearance and their perfect feet and superlatively perfect boots and short tailor dresses. No

one has that draggled, too long in the

back and too short m the front look

of lots of Englishwomen holding up their garments in a frightful fashion."

MEXICO HI FEAR

OF All I

IIVASI0I1

Disclosures Just Made May Cause Heavy Frontier Guards to Be Placed.

A PLOT IS INVESTIGATED

REVOLUTIONISTS PLANNED TO 8EIZE NUMBER OF RIFLES, OCCUPY MEXICAN TOWN AND THEN RECRUIT BIG ARMY.

Bisbee, Ariz., May 14. Disclosures, which it is believed will result in ! Mexico placing an armed force along j the border to guard Cananea and No-1 gales towns within a hundred miles of here, were made before the federal i grand jury called at Tombstone to investigate the cast of the three alleged Mexican revolutionists arrested at Los Angeles about n year and a half ago. Magon, who was the leader, and Villareal, and Rivera, his closest associates, planned the seizure, according to sensational letters read before the grand jury of 2,000 rifles at Cananea. With these rifles they were to march to Nogales and capture the town. Nogales was to be made the seat of their operations. Here they intended to enlarge the scope of their military activity and secretly send special agents to Mexico City. According to the letters. Diaz was to be assassinated and all the high rulers of the republic put to death. Their one great fear was from interference on the part of the United States. Sent Commissions. Magon sent special commissions from the "Junta of the Mexican Liberal party," to men he had chosen as leaders in his - uprising against the Mexican government. According to the letters a large number of other Mexicans and one or two Americans, the latter not named, upon whom suspicion has not yet fallen, are heart and soul with the revolutionists. A special message was sent from here warning Diaz to watch out for his life, by a delegation of the. better class of Mexican people on shis side of the border. All is Excitement. All is excitement among the Mexican population of this city which is but eight miles from the border. Many of the better class of Mexicans who refused to become identified with the revolutionary movement are in constant fear that harm will overtake them. It Is believed that several mass meetings will be called in the various nearby towns for tho purpose of organizing committees of "self . protection." , Among those in attendance at the proceedings were a large number of women, among them being quite a few Americans. The court room at Tombstone, the county seat of this (Cochise) county is being ' guarded by armed men. It is feared that it may be necessary to deputize a large number of additional court attaches today.

has grown into the very fabric of Hie

social life, and is a standing disgrace

to the Bengali community, which has

no Justification to plead or apology to

offer. The practice has now assumed

alarming proportions of parents of

boys extorting costly dowries as a condition of marrying their, sons. The

marriage of a daughter among Ben

galis has become an expensive affair.

and the amount in : cash t demanded

by the father or guardian of the boy, and paid by the father or guardian

of the bride, varies with the education

al attainments of the bridegroom.

The Indian Daily News published a

few days ago a piteous appeal from respectable Hindu parents of dower-

less daughters. -

Riley & Ahern, who are appearing as

the vaudeville feature of the Carl W.

Cook Stock Co., at the Gennett theatre this week are presenting the neat

the dancing they do can be taken

from the following facts. , They do twenty-seven steps a minute, dancing

five minutes, doing 130 steps in that

time, 27 steps a day, 1,800 steps a

week and 8400 steps In a month. Dur

The New Phillips.

' One of the most amusing situations in vaudeville is introduced by the

Potts Brothers Company, who are

showing at the New Phillips in Dou

Potts brothers are twins in life. In

the play they are supposed to be cousins. The wife of one cousin takes her cousin by marriage to be her husband

Removed by Lydia E Pinkham'sVegetableCompoacd South Bend, Ind. " Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound removed

a cyst tumor of four years growth, which three of the best physicians declared I had. They said that ' only an operation could help me. I am very gladthatlfollowed a friend's advice and took Lydia . Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, for it has made me

a strone and well

woman, and J shall recommend It aa i

long as I live." Mbs. Mat Fry,

unaiey, ina. One of the greatest triumphs of

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com. Sound is the conquering of woman's read enemy tumor. If you have mysterious pains, inflammation, ulceration or displacement, don't wait for time to confirm your fears and go through the horrorsof a hospital operation, but try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once.

For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's

Vegetable Compound, made from roots

inheres, nas been tbestandard remedy r female ills, and such unauestion-

able testimony as the above proves the value of this famous remedy, and should give confidence and hope to every sick woman. If yon would like special advice about your case write a confiden

tial letter to Airs, mmtnasn, at Lynn, Mass. Her advice Is free and always helpful

the audience to distinguish one brother from the other, a fact that makes

the playlet all the more amusing. Miss Mabel Kelly and Miss Jessie St Clair

help an excellent cast with art.

Mrs. K. Ito is Japanese. Her hus

band and little boy are traveling with her and they are certainly a good trio.

One of Mrs. Ito's most difficult feats

is to walk up a ladder of swords in her bare feet.

Miss Myrtle Griffith is an exceed

ingly pretty girl who wins a place

with you the minute you see her. She

has an excellent voice and when she singB "Sunbonnet Sue," "Roses" or

"I'll See You Later, Dearie," the house is as quiet as a church yard at night.

But the storm breaks loose and she

rightfully deserves the applause giv

en her.

DEEDS, NOT WORDS

Richmond People Have Absolute Proof

It's not words but deeds that prove

true merit.

The deeds of Doan's Kidney Pills, For Richmond kidney sufferers, Have made their local reputation. Proof lies in the testimony of Rich

mond people who have been cured to

stay cured.

Benjamin F. Lunsford, N. E. Cor.

Twentieth and South B streets, Rich

mond, Ind says : "The statement I gave for publication in 1906 endorsing

Doan's Kidney Pills told of my ex

perience with this remedy and, at this

time I am glad to confirm what I then said. I had been bothered by kidney trouble off and on for at least fifteen

years and whenever I caught cold, my

back became so lame and painful that

could hardly get around. At times

the flow of the kidney secretions was

profuse, then again scant and distress

ing. Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at A. G. Luken & Co's drug store, relieved these annoyances and once or twice since, when I have taken the remedy, it has promptly relieved me."
