11ISSI0II IS MUM Oil COURSE IT I'lILL PURSUE Railroad Tribunal Will Not Discuss Action of Governor Marshall in Handing It a Call-down. 'HAVE PREPARED LONG LETTER IN DEFENSE lt Is Pointed Out That the Commission Has Tried to Exceed Its Powers, Which Arc Very Limited. Indianapolis, Ind., ' June 14. The t clash between Governor Marshall and I the Indiana Railroad Commission over 'the power of the commission still attracts attention. There have not been 'any new developments In the last day or two, and as the matter now stands It is regarded as a stand off between the two. The commission has construed the full crew law and has pointed out various ways in which it. . railroads may violate it without prosecution. The Governor has given -u commission a call-down for daring to construe the law, on the grounds that the commission has no right to do such a thing'. He tells the commission that It has no more right to i call in the railroads and tell them how if they will do so and so in violation of the full crew law they will I not be prosecuted, than to call in a (bunch of murderers and tell them if 1 they will commit their murders in this or tbat particular way or under such i and such circumstances they will be 1 safe from arrest. Prepares Long Letter. The Railroad Commission has prepared a long letter to the governor in which it takes its own part, but the members refuse to discuss the case. When the members were asked if since the reecipt of the governor's letter they will Btlck to their opinion that they have a right to construe the full crew law or whether they will recall their notice to the rail roads they flatly refuse to discuss the matter. They are keeping very mum on the subject. It is believed that the result of this controversy' between " the " goyernor and the railroad commission will, be an effort, to have a public utilities bill passed by the legislature not such a bill as was, proposed at the last session, but one that would .amount, to something. Has Limited Power. It is being pointed out that the powers of the present railroad commission as they are laid down by the law, are limited to practically two subjects. The commission has power to fix and regulate freight rates in the iterest of the shippers to prevent discrimination, and it has power to compel the. interchange of traffic between railroads. Beyond that it is .pointed out the commission has no real power. But since the commisislon was created it has gone further land further until ; it has undertaken to do, many things . besides these two. The railroads have not paid much attention to the commission in anything except the two matters mentioned. On all other subjects the railroads have not obeyed the orders of the commisiCion unless they pleased to do so. The railroads have contended all along that the commission had no , power to compel them to do anything else. ' Utilities Commission. In many instances, however, the railroads have acted-, on the suggestions made by the commission, not because they admitted they had to, but because the suggestions were good them as good. It is being argued now that a public utilities commission could be created by the , legislature that would take the place not only of the railroad commission, but of the labor commission, the state factory, inspector and the state tax board as well, and that such a commission, clothed with the proper power and atuhority would be great improveemnt over the present system. It is this kind of -a commission that will probably be created it a public utilities bill is passed by the legislature.

A CORROBORATION Of Interest to Richmond Readers. For months Richmond citizens have seen in these columns enthusiastic praise of Ooan's Kidney- Pills by Richmond residents, i Would these prominent people recommend a remedy that had not proven reliable? Would they confirm their statements after years had elapsed if personal experience had not shown the remedy to be worthy of endorsement J No stronger proof of merit can be had than cures that have stood the test of time. , The following statement should carry conviction to the mind of every Richmond reader. Miss Sarah Hamilton, 27 N. Ninth street, Richmond, Ind., says: "About eight years ago I began to suffer from acute pains In the small of my hack, sometimes extending into my shoulders. I had an idea that the trouble was sciatic rheumatism but finally after suffering for about two years, I found that my kidneys were disordered. I at once procured Doan's Kidney Pills at A. O. Luken ft Co s drug store and soon after I began their use, I noticed an improvement in my condition. I continued taking the remedy until I was free from all my acres and pains and in much better health." (Statement given July 14, 1906.) On December 12, 1908, Miss Hamilton said: "I still believe that there is nothing as effective as Doan's Kidney Pills in Relieving kidney trouble. I am just' as willing to endorse this preparation now as I was two years ago." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. ' Foster-MIlburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.

ASTRONOMY. Its Exactness Illustrated by the Discovery of Neptune. There Is perhaps no more striking illustration of the power or scientific method than that relating to the discovery of Neptune in 1846. Tbe planet Uranus, until then the outermost known member of our solar system, refused to follow the path computed for it by mathematical astronomers. With the progress of time the discrepancies between Its predicted and observed positions grew constantly larger until In tbe early eighteeu-forties tbe discordance amounted to fully seventy-five seconds of arc. This is a small angle, not more than one-twenty-fifth the angular diameter of our moon, yet a very large angle to refined astronomy, for a discrepancy of two seconds would have been detected with ease. The opinion gradually developed tbat Uranus was drawn from its natural course by the. attractions of an undiscovered planet still farther from tbe sun than Itself. Adams in 1843 and Le Verrier in 1845 ; Independently and each without knowledge of the other's plans attacked the then extremely difficult problem of determining tbe approximate orbit, mass sad position of an undiscovered body whose attractions should produce tbe perturbations observed. Regrettable and avoidable delays occurred In searching ' for .the planet after Adams' results were communicated to the astronomer royal In October, 1845. Le Verrler's results were communicated to the Berlin observatory in September, 1846, , with the request that a search be made. The disturbing planet, later named Neptune, was found on the first evening that it was looked for less than one degree of arc from the position assigned by Le Verrier. If an energetic search had been made in England the year 'before the planet would have been discovered within two degrees of the position assigned by Adams. Professaft W. W. Campbell in Popular Science Monthly., The Smuggled Box. A joker had some fun with the customs officials at New York some years ago. A servant bad gone ashore from a German liner with a basket and was about to leave the pier when a passenger whispered to a customs officer that he had better see what tbe basket contained. Following .the tip, tbe basket bearer was detained, and a wooden box was found among a lot of soiled linen. Tbe box contained another and this still another box, the third securely fastened with screws. When these were removed a card was discovered on which was written in three languages, "This is the 1st of April. Many happy returns of the day." THEATRICAL CALENDAR. NEW PHILLIPS.

There is no stronger argument for the real value of a show than the bouquets thrown at random by that part of the population of a r city or town which witnesses that production. In the case of Richmond, the city Is not so large but that every one In it can, or has the opportunity to, hear of any play or series of plays that may come to the city. And that one fact is what lends the sane advertisement to any production appearing here. If a play is not good, the Richmond public is not the least hit abashed in saying so. If it is good, then the attitude is quite to the contrary- The New Phillips, realizing the fact that Richmond 'must have good shows if the house is ; to succeed, has succeeded, after much effort, in' landing the kind of : shows that please the Richmond public Commencing today the Phillips has just such a bllL The three main divisions are; Terry -and Elmer, In their comedy dancing sketch.

ASMALLBUNO TUBE The Vermiform Appendix and Its Probable Function. PROBLEM OF APPENDICITIS. The Causes ef the Disease and the Methods of Fighting It The Way the Operation of Removal Is Performed Disease, a Old as Mankind. Appendicitis is not a disease of modern times, though its nature and methods of treatment are the result of careful observation by one of our well known modern surgeons while engaged in postmortem work. -Tt may be safe to say that appendicitis is as old as mankind, for in studying very old histories wherein are given the diagnoses of the physicians we read of cases of inflammation of the bowels, intestinal disorders and like ailments the symptoms of which prove that they must have been appendicitis. Appendicitis is inflammation of the vermiform appendix, a small blind tube, averaging two and a half Inches In length and a quarter of an inch in diameter, attached to the coecum at its inner and posterior part. It Is made of a very sensitive mucous membrane containing several glands. The appendix is part of the digestive tract, itsi function, it is believed, being to lubricate that part of the intestines, though as yet there is no absolute proof of this. - Careful study of a child from whom the colon has been removed until he reaches the age of manhood has revealed no irregularities of any nature. The causes of this disease may be grouped under four .heads stenosis, which means closing up; impaction, the entrance of foreign bodies, not necessarily seeds;' exposure and injury. In fighting this disease nature takes three methods of disposing of the toxic materials discharging, them into the peritoneal cavity, sending them into the bowels and discharging them through an external wound. In the first, if the discharge be not too rapid while the peritoneum is taking them up, nature again makes an effort to ward off the threatened danger by walling the poisonous matters in, thus localizing them and so aiding the physician or surgeon in his work. If. however, tbe discharge be sudden, as is the case when the mass bursts, the whole of tbe peritoneum becomes Involved, which is called septic peritonitis, and this is generally fatal. After the diagnosis has revealed the disease the doctor decides whether the case be one for medicine or external treatment or for separation. In the latter case the greatest of care is demanded, as sometimes an immediate operation "is necessary, while at other times It must be delayed, often for hours, until the condition of the patient has been brought to that point at which the surgeon can feel it is safe to go ahead. The operation determined upon, the most careful arrangements to secure perfect antisepsis are made, and tbe patient Is placed in a full state of anaesthesia: The ' operating surgeon then draws an imaginary line from 'the navel to the anterior superior spine of tbe right hip bene, dividing that line tnto three parts. Under the inner side of tbe middle third the appendix in normal cases will be found, though in rare cases It has been found on the left side and In extremely rare cases otherwise displaced. f Having satisfied himself of the exact spot under which It wil be found, an incision from two to five Inches long is made la the skin. (Some of tbe beet surgeons pride . themselves on the smallness of their lactsions In this operation.) The fatty tissues are then cut through, the small blood vessels are secured, and then the muscular walls of the abdomen are separated, bringing . into view . tbe peritoneum. This is a serous secretive lining composed of two layers. On catting through this the edges of both layers are clamped so as to enable the surgeon to reoatlte them when the operation shall have been eesaaleted. The intestines are new visible, and the affected section Is very tenderly drawn through the opening, where the nature and extent ef the infection are made known. - Hot towels moists atd with salt water are kept applied to tlee intestine while it ts exposed- , The word "tenderly characterises tbe WlftBlejof

V must be "more niun rnreful to prevent any rupture of tbe appendix, for should this happen while he is operating the' pus would be quickly taken np by the peritoneum aad other mucous membranes, and the resulting complications would make the outcome very uncertain. The mesentery, a large vessel adjoining the appendix, is next ligated, and then the colon Is tied off. after which tbe diseased organ Is cut away. The stump is pushed back into the Intestine and the ligature is tightly drawn, this to prevent the forming of a pouch. The removal safely accomplished, the Intestine is replaced, the edges of the peritoneum are carefully approximated and tbe muscular walls, fatty tissue and skin are brought together by subcutaneous and cutaneous sutures. " In the majority of cases, no complications ensuing, tbe patient is ready for discharge in two weeks. James M. Smyth, M. D.. in New York World.

A New Tork pastor received a call In his study one morning not long ago from a man with whom he had a pleasant but not intimate acquaintance. And the visitor told him without much ado that he bad called on a peculiar errand. "Some time ago," he said, "as yon know, I lost my wife. I have no children, I have no kinsfolk, and I am very lonely in the world. Last week, by an unlucky speculation, I lost my whole fortune. I am therefore without companionship, without occupation, without money. I am too old to start again, and I have no joy In life as it is. I have deliberately decided, therefore, to commit suicide. And I called to tell you of my purpose and to ask the favor of you that when my body Is found you will make such an explanation as your good judgment and kindly feeling toward me may suggest. I have come simply to ask this favor and not to argue the question, which I have settled for myself. If you do me this last service I shall be very grateful." The preacher said little and was far too wise to undertake to dissuade him, but he permitted the man to say all tbat he bad to say without interruption. Then as he was going 'away the preacher called to him and said: "I have not seen you on the golf links for some time. You use to enJoy the game." "Yes," said the other. "Well, go out and play one more game today before you carry out your purpose." The man smiled for tbe first time and went to the golf course and be is living yet World's Work. ; Old Time Gas Charges. Tbe price of gas In the early part of the last century Is shown by a schedule of charges issued by the Liverpool Gaslight company in the year 1817. Instead of so much per cubic foot being levied each Individual burner was charged for, and tbe price varied accordingto the hour at which the light was to be extinguished. Thus for using one No. 1 Argand burner up till 8 p. m. 3 per annum bad to be paid.

Busine Review of The Past Week by Henry Clews

New York, June 12. The stock market continues under "rtrong control. Prices at times receded under realizations, but the general undertone remains firm. This is owing to the rising tide of confidence. If it be asked upon what this new confidence is bas ed, it must be answered that it is due to the general Improvement in busi ness, together with lessened opposition towards corporations, which, with one or two notable exceptions, are conduct ing themselves with more regard for public welfare and legal requirements than formerly. The iron trade continues to lead in this respect Heavy orders for all kinds of steel products were placed in May, and the month of June promises to be also-a very active month, so far as regards the receipt of new orders. The spectacular rise in Bteei stocks is much more due to this reason that to efforts for their listing in Paris. The latter merely indicates a desire to provide a world wide market for these securities, which are already scattered all over Europe. Fully 90 per cent, of the United States Steel Company's productive capacity is now supposed to be employed; and as the company's expenditures out of earnings for the Gary plant and other improve ments have about, reached their culmination, the impression gains that a larger proportion of profits will here after be applicable to dividends, hence the strength of the common stock. The activity in Southern Pacific was also a feature, proving that the big men are still active in the market and engaged in its support. In fact, all Indications suggest that our leading bankers are interested in preventing any important reaction 'from present high, prices. The big leaders are still well loaded with stocks which they desire to dis tribute, and are consequently Induced to carry the market to as high a level as possible. Thus far the public has shown little disposition to aid these gentlemen in their phllanthropical programme, but remains in a skeptical frame of mind and seems Indisposed to invest at the present high level. On the other hand, few holders are inclined to part with good stocks while general . conditions remain so favorable. Money continues excessively cheap, and this, of course, is a powerful element towards the support of values; for even at present prices many stocks afford satisfactory returns when compared with prevailing interest rates. It must be borne in mind, too, that many of our industrials owing to business re covery are beginning to earn larger profits, while the railroads also are getting their full share of recovery and securing considerably better net results than a year ago. While the crop outlook la not all that might be desired, it shows improvement and presents nothing to occasion alarm. It is quite possible, if not probable, that we shall have as large a cotton crop this year aa last year, in spite of the agitation for decreased acreage. As there is good profit in raising cotton at present prices. and cotton is the most important crop in the adjustment of our foreign trade balance, the outlook in this respect is entirely satisfactory. Whatever shortage there may be In wheat will be more than compensated for by the large Increase in corn acreage. If average conditions prevail we should pro duce a record-breaking; corn crop. Aa this crop exceeds in value any other two crops combined, and farmers are securing very profitable prices for this cereal, It is reasonable to hope for an other profitable harvest. Wheat is, of course, a very profitable crop at pres ent figures; though it to not without significance that the present high price of flour has so chedoed consumption as to cause supplies to accumulate and force price cutting among the mills. The fruit crops are not in as good con dition as last year, and all crops com bined are officially stated to be 4. points betow last year, but 8 point above the rear before. With our Industrial aad agricultural situations .both la soda promising oostdftton, it is

not surprising that confidence is growing, and already running into a strong degree of optimism. The dangers that once more confront ua are those of over-confidence, excessive speculation and the fostering of unsound and illegitimate enterprises, all of which are stimulated to an unwholesome degree by an excessive supply of abnormally cheap money. The great expansion -in loans shows upon what an extensive scale epeculatlon is now being conducted by big operators.
