ASSERT THEY HAVE CARLOADS COMING Manchee of the Swift Plant Describes the Condition as “Helleved’— Other News from the Ma ity “The coal situation is greatly relieved tonight,” sald Manager Manchee of Swift's last night. “In The Bee of Saturday a true statement of conditions was made without entering into any of the yellow journalistic features.' Continuing, Mr. Manchee said that Swift's had coal on the road from mines in Mis- sour! and that he figured that there would be an abundant supply on hand for packers by Monday E. A. Cudahy stated that he had enough coal to run him for a few days. He as- serted that he has purchased coal in Illi- nd that it was on the cars and headed 'We hope to be able to keep sald Mr. Cudahy, “but at the pr ent time the supply looks very uncertain. R. C. Howe of Armour's stated that he had purchased a trainload of cohl in Kan- sas and that it was on the way here and was expected to arrive either Sunday night or Monday. As for the present supply, Mr. Howe said that he had enough cars in the yards to run him for a few days. The clearing weather has tended to en- courage the packers and every effort is now being made by the railroads to hurry ship- ments forward, The lack of cars is given as an excuse by the mine owners for not complying with contracts made by the packers, At the Omaha plant there is enough coal on hand to keep the. boiler going for several days. Some coal was purchased from local dealers, but am In- vestigation shows that the dealers let foose of but very little. It was estimated yesterday afternoon that less than 4,000 tons of bituminous coal were on hand in South Omaha. Shipments from the mines are belng eagerly looked for by all of the dealers in South Omaha. Brotherhood Elects Officers. The Modern Brotherhood of America elected th officers at the last meetin 0.

LANSING, Mich., Dee. 13.—Rallroads and express companies, which have heretofore pald a specific tax In Michigan, will next year pay under the ad valorem system. The assessment of these properties was made public by the State Tax commission tonight. | The aggregate assessment of all railiroads In the state Is $208,212,600. The commls- | slop determined the average rate of taxa- | tion in the state to be $13.60 per $1,000 of sessed valuation. The railroads will, therefore, next year pay $2,850,231 in taxes. This s an increase of $1,: 324 over this year. ‘This does not include eleven small lines, concerning which the commission has been as yet unable to obtain desired informa- tion, and these companies will, it is ex- pected, Increase the total assessment by About $500,000.

OUT PROFESSIONALS Henley Stewards Bar Cornell from Regatta by New Regul tion, LONDON, Dec, 13.—The Henley stewards today definitely ‘adopted the rule barring professianal crews from the regatta.

A CURE FOR INDIGESTION ‘When it was discovered that Kodol digests all classes of food, its great value in the treatment of indigéstion and the many disorders arising therefrom was Instantly recognized. Previousto the discov- ery of Kodol it was impossible for even the most skilled physician to treat Dyspeptics with any degree of certainty as to the results, due to the fact that Pepsin and all digestants hitherta known, digest certain classes of food only, while Kodol digests them all. Kodol represents the active principle of Pepsin, Pan- creatin, Ptyalin, Trypsin and all the acids of digestion as they exist in a healthy stomach. happily combined with the greatest known tonic and reconstructive properties. Kodol zupplies the gastric glands with a healthy quantity of the digestive juices, thus relieving the inflamed stomach of all nervous strain while that organ takesa rest — recuperates, Inall cases of a weak stomach, indigestion, nervous Dys- pepsia, palpitation of the heart, Insomnia, general debiiity and all wasting diseases, no remedy will so surely and so quickly restore one to the full vigor of health and strength as !

The capablilities and powers possessed by any man or the brightest progressive spirit, with its wonderful pos- sibilities, must depend upon health. Intellectuality, knowledge and ambition can do nothing without it and health is therefore of the most commanding interest and importance. No physiclan, scientist or inventor is UNJUSTLY popular or fa- mous, because they can only be popular or famous according to their works and worth, If a man is 6 feet tall he is so by measurement, not by exaggeration or misrepresentation. You might tell peuple he is 8 when only 6, but this would establish nothing but your own unre- liability. It is poor policy to practice deception, especially when it won't de- ceive. I am as famillar with the various specialists and their modes as the postmaster of a country town is famillar with new settlers, A reasonable man will not doubt that I am successful when he reads my announcements year after year in the dally papers of nearly all the principal cities of the United States, because he knows that fallures cannot be bolstered up to resemble success on so large a scale for such a length of time and that no business could so steadlly grow W.A, coox M. D. year after year without a vital reason. Nelther would any m::mg man believe that I spend the thousands of dollars more every year for office equipment than any other spe- clalist Just for the fun of spending it. The object in doing so Is to get results prompter, safer and surer, thus perpetuating my business on the plan of a dollar's worth for a dollar, which has lifted me as far above the “free schemes,” “pay when cured” or “trial treatments,” as practice is above theory. When I make the num.unueuu-m that T cure VARICOCELE 1n one week without the kaife or radical surgi- cal operation, and without pain or detention from business, there are thousands of people who know from actual experience that the statements 1 make are true. It is the same with BLOOD POISON, LOST MAN- HOOD, HYDROCELE, PILES, FISTULA and REFL! DISORDERS, all of which I treat under a legal, writ- ten guarantee to cure perfectly and permanently or refund every cent paid for treatment. Delays are dangerous and if you need treatment at all you should accept none but the most reliable and trustworthy. I can furnish pleasure in doing so. Consultation at office or by letter is free and solicited, whether you want treatment or not and If you desire treatment the terms will be entirely satisfactory to you. Address.
