FREE LIST BILL PRESENTED TODAY Favorable Report Made to House by the Ways and iMeans Committee.
(Aiiurii hii News Sorvicr) Washington. April 1!. Chairman I'ndcrwood of Ways and Means committee today presented to the House a favorable report on the free list containing more than one hundred articles. The items include agricultural implements, cotton bagging and ties, boots and shoes, fence wire, flour.
bread, timber, lumber, cereals, salt, sarrles and harness, sewing machines, and practically all important articles used by farmers. The bill was reported from the. committee by h strict party vote without amendment. The report charges the Republican party with having failed to keep Its tariff pledges, and in support of the free list bill in addition to Canadian reciprocity, says: "While the Canadian reciprocity agreement Is a creditable beginning In the sorely needed work of revising the injurious tariff provisions, it cannot lie expected, unaided, to afford more than fragmentary and partial relief to the peo
ple." The report then takes up Item by item th articles put on the free list, toget'.ier with statistical data to show that the Democratic free list bill Is In the interests of th farmer, and will recompense him for any Inequalities that may exist In the Canadian agreement. The free list bill will reduce the tariff revenue $to,ni,49) annually of the Importation receipts of t'.ie last few years. In the majority report signed by the Democrats, this amount is said to be "inconsiderable In comparison with the great saving and advantage to all
of ous people from the additions to the free list provided for."
The final report of the president and treasurer of the Sixth District Short Course and Corn School held In Richmond in February, submitted at the meeting of the board of directors of the Young Men's Business club at the West cot t hotel last evening, showed a balance of 2 cents resulting after all bills had been paid. The receipts
amounted to 11,154.39 and the expenditures totaled $1,154.37. All the directors present vied with each other to 'second the motion of Stephen Kuth, owner of the famous berry farm east of the city, when he moved that the board meet with him at his farm some time when the berry season is on in full blast. It was im-
liossible for the secretary to keep a list of the "seconds." The motion passed unanimously with uproarious consent. Demas S. Coe, a member of the committee having in charge the arrangements for the O. A. R. encampment, submitted a brief report of the work along that line showing that satisfactory progress is being made. It was stated by Freed Krone, chairman of the committee investigating the feasibility of the erection of cluster lights along Main street, that several sample poles were expected to arrive in the city within a short time, and that they would be erected at once on South Seventh street for the inspection of the merchants.

cording to the terms of the document
filed with county recorder Will Itob-
luns on I uesday afternoon, out nn an option clause of purchase of the property for $25,000. after the lease .ias run fifteen years'. Announcement was made on Wednesday by an official of the Starr Piano company that no plans for the improvement of the property were
now contemplated. It has been re
ported that the salesrooms of the com
pany at lentn and .Main streets
would be abandoned, but this is improbable, at least until after the lease, which runs for over a year yet, expires. . The Vaughan 'property is now leased by c. A. Gaar and John Shurley. It expires on January l, 1911, from which time the lease by Mr. Vaughan to the Starr Piano company Is dated.

General manager Todd of the Terre Haute. Indianapolis and Kastern Traction company will be notified to meet with the county commissioners on
Saturday to confer in regard to what the company Intends to do in complying with specifications for the Improvement of the National road, from West Fifth street to the Wayne-Center township line. The company has not siRnitied by any action or communication t'.iat It will move Its tracks outside the south curb line of the Improvement and the commissioners believe the company will delay the Improvement all it possibly can. t'nless Mr. Todd will make some promise at the meeting Saturday to comply with the specifications, it is probable an attorney will be employed and the commissioners will then institute proceedings against the company to compel compliance with the order given. The company wishes to use the center of the highway, but this arrangement Is not favored by the commissioners, although they have not so decided as a board.

Important that Public Should Know About Great Kidney Remedy. The testimonial I am to give you coiees unsolicited. I have been suffering from lumbago for ten years and at times was unable to stand erect. A Mr. Dean of this city, saw me in my condition tbent overl and inquired the cause. I told him I had the lumbago. He replied, "If you get what I tell you
to, you need not have it." I said I would take anything for ease. He said
"You get two bottles of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root and take it. and If it does
not fix you O. K., I will pay for the
medicine myself." I did so and am a well man. For five months I have been as well as could be. Before I took your Swamp-Root was in constant pain day and night. This may k)ok like advertising. But it seems to me most Important that the public should be made familiar with this treatment as It is the only one I know which is an absolute cure. I owe a great deal to Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root and am anxious that others situated as I was should know and take advantage of It. Hoping that this testimonial may be of benefit to some one I am, J. A.
