CAN NOT BE RUBBED AWAY ‘When the joints are sore and swollen, and the muscles throbbing with the pain of Rheumatism, relief must be had at once, and it is natural to rub the affected parts with. liniments, oils, etc. This treatment does good in a way, by temporarily relieving the pain and reducing the inflammation, but has no effect on the disease itself, because Rheumatism is more than skin deep; it is in the blood and cannot be rubbed away. Rheumatism is brought on by indigestion, weak kidneys, poor bowel action, stomach troubles and a gen- eral sluggish condition of the system_ The refuse and waste matters, which should be carried off through the nat- |ural avenues .of bodily waste, are ‘While at work for the F. 0. &P.

Washington, Feb. 2\ —Consul Gen- eral Rodgers, at Shanghai, has cabled the state department that the Amer- jcan missions at Nanchang, province of Kiangsi, have been destroyed. The probable cause is local. Telegrams Te- ceived from those points indicate that the fourteen American missionaries at these places escaped, but the Kingham family, English, two adults and two children, are reported to have been killed.

However, it is realized that the incident itself appears to justify such preparations as are now under way from a military peint of view. The report that English subjects have been killed is the most serious phase of the affair, for it is said that this fact may be made the basis of forcible: measures by the British government: that might inflame the entire Chinese population. 5 7 e Associate of Moody Dead:” - Northfield, Mass., Feb. . . —Henary M.

He announced that he had been instructed by the committee on interstate commerce to report house bill 12,987 without amend- ment and he read the resolution adopt- ed. . After a discussion concerning the printing of the testimony taken by the ‘| committee an order was made for the publication of 10,000 copies. Mr. Till- man gave notice that he would press ithe bill to the earliest consideration. He said that much of the testimony taken was irrelevant and that the com- mitt had employed two experts, Mesdrs. Newcomb and Adams, and theythad made an epitome of the testi- mony, which also will be printed. M2 Tillman announced that as soomjas possible he purposed to digest the testimony and to submit a formal {report on the biil. He said that within two weeks he should move to make the 1ate gbill the unfinished business and to .displace the statehocd bill if that measlire was noc disposed of by that times The transcendent importance of the rate measure and the wide inter- est: the subject throughout the counfry, he said, made it desirable that fthe Dill should be considered witheut delay.

They believed that these amendments were not only necessary to protect the rights of all the parties in interest, but that they were essential to the vitality and effi- ciency of the measure. With these smendments the minorily members, with the possible exception of the sen- ator from Ohio, who is opposed, as I understand, to all government rate- making, were ready to give their sup- port to the house bill. “I beg to assure the senator in charge of the bill that the opponenis of the measure in its present form will agk for no unnecessary delays in its consideration. The legislation pro- posed is of such a character that the most careful examination of its pro- visions and the fullest discussion of Its terms will be necessary.

EIGHT BILLS ACCOMPANY DOGUMENT | MOST IMPORTANT DEFERS APRIL ELECTIONS AND NULLIFIES EXISTING PROXIES. Albany, N. Y., Feb. 7".—The report of the joint committee of the senate and assembly of the state of New York appointed to investigate the affairs of the life insurance companies was pre- sented to the legislature during the day. It covers a printed pamphlet of 319 pages. 5 The report was accompanied by sight bills designed to carry into effect in detail the recommendations of the committee. One of the most important of the laws regulating mutual companies and recommended by the committee looks to the giving to policyholders of an opportunity to -elect entirely new boards of directors as soon as the pro- visions of such a law can be made ap- plicable. To that end the committee recommends a ‘special act providing for the expiration of the terms of office of existing directors of such com- panies on Nov. 15 next and that the annual meetings which would. other- wise Le held at an earlier date should be postponed to that.time. In this way- it will be possible for lists of pol- icyholders to be filed under the stat- ute, for nominations to be made and for the policyholders to cast their votes in person, by proxy or by mail, ley may desire. All existing prox- ies should be declared void so that no proxies should he voted at such elec- tion other than those which are given under the statute within two' months prior thereto. The first election should be under the supervision of the superintendent of insurance, ‘who should be directed to appoint inspec- tors of election and see that it is con- ducted according to law. The new boards of direetors should divide themselves into two classes, so that thereafter one-half of the board may be elected annually, and errors in management promptly corrected. As the annual election in one of these eompanies would otherwise take place in April it is important that this spe- cial act should be passed immediately. In a statement made to newspaper men before the presentation of the re- port Senator Armstrong said he hoped to have passed before April 15 the bill which will defer the annual elections in the mutual companies from April 15 to Nov. 15. This, it is believed, probably would nullify all proxies ob- tained up to this time by Thomas W. Lawson and the policyholders’ com- mittee of state governors and others, as well as those which the manage- ment of the companies themselves have been gathering through their agents. The general office building and part of No. 2 machine shop of the Bethle: hem Steel company at South Bethle- hem, Pa., were destroyed by fire Mon- day, entailing a loss of about $200,000 to property and valuable records. VBLUMINUUS FFEHS.‘ RATE M 'TEN CENTS PER WEEK EASURE BENATOR KNOX INTRODUCES HIS BILL FOR THE REGULATION OF RAILROADS. BROADENS ACT PASSED BY HOUSE PROVIDES FQR COURT REVIEW OF ORDERS OF COMMERCE COMMISSION. ‘Washington, Feb. .~ —Senator Knox has introduced his interstate com- merce bill. It broadens the house bill and contains a provision for review by the courts of the orders of the inter- state commerce commission. Mr. Knox, in presenting the meas- ure, made a brief statement in which he said that he had been asked to give his views on rate regulation and he had done so. He pointed out that in the bill he presented section 5, which provided for a court review, he deemed essential for the constitution- ality of the measure. The bill provides that-all acts of congress and the provisions of this bill relating to interstate commerce “shall extend to all common carriers engaged in commerce to which the regulative power of congress extends under the Constitution of the United States by the transportation of persons or prop- erty wholly by railroad or by the transportation of persons or .property partly by railroad and partly by water when both are used for a continuous carriage or shipment. Said provisions shall also extend to all the facilities and instrumentalities connected there- with to which the regulative power of congress extends whether owned or provided by the carrier or not.” It provides that all charges of what- ever nature shall be just and reason- able. When a rate is unreasonable the commission shall order it reduced and when reduced ‘“such reduced rate shall be the maximum to be observed ‘by the carrier and when the'commis- slon shall order a practice to be changed its, order shall be observed by the carrier.” PURE FOOD BILL PASSED.’ Only Four Senators Vote Against the Measure. Washington, Feb. {~—The Heyburn pure food bill has passed the senate by a vote of 63 to 4. Those senators voting against it were Bailey, Bacon, Foster and Tillman, all Democrats. Senators Teller and Frazier, also Dem- ocrats, said that if they were not paired their votes would have ‘been recorded in the negative. The bill makes it a misdemeanor to manufacture or sell adulterated or mis- branded foods, drugs. medicines or liquors in the District of Columbia, the territories and the insular possessions of the United States and prohibits the shipment of such goods from one state to another or to a foreign country. It also prohibits the receipt of such goods. Punishment by a fine of $500 or by imprisonment for one year or both is prescribed. In the case of cor- porations officers in charge are made responsible. At St.” Paul Sunday, Norval Baptie of North Dakota defeated Peter Sinni- rud, the Norwegian champion, in three " skating races.
