Gradually the people who were back of the enterprise lost interest, and the books disappeared. It now seems that many persons, particularly ccmmercial travelers, complain cf missing them.

It is a curious circumstance that the one army in Europe whose frontiers have a permanent snow-line, and in which the use of the ski is ignored in the army, is Switzerland, where, in many of the cantons, nearly every man, woman and child can ski. This latter fact probably to some extent explains the neglect. But the difference between popular use of the ski and that systematic training which " ? * *? a lr/N ? kitolliOTi nr Q cWVUt; VUUiU U4UIVC CL uaiaiuuu v> ? brigade oil ski at all mobile, or even manageable, is so obvious that its neglect in an army which would need it almost more than any other frontier operation, is not easy to understand. The Swiss papers are beginning to raise an outcry on the subject. It is pointed out that although there are thousands of Swiss officers and soldiers who can ski, there is not in all the Swiss army a single class for ski drill, nor any stores for mobilizing even a company of men on ski.

Awful Sight Frr.-in That Dreadful Com* plaint, Infantile Erzeuia?Mother Praises Cnticnro Kemedles. "Our baby had that dreadful complaint, Infantile Eczema, which aiiiicted nun for several months, commeneincr at the too of hia head, and at iast covering his whole body. His sufferings were untold and constant misery, in fact, there was nothing we would not have done to have given him relief. We finally procured a full set of the Cuticura Remedies, and in about three or four days he began to show a brighter spirit and really laughed, for the first time in a year. In about ninety days he was fully recovered. Praise for the Cuticura Remedies has always been our greatest pleasure, and there is nothing too good that we could say in their favor, for they certainly saved our baby's life, for ha was the most awful sight that 1 ever be* held prior to the treatment of the Cuticura Remedies.

KIDNEY JRGUBLES Increasing Among Women, Bat Safferers Ncc1 Not Despair THE BEST ADVICE IS FREE Of all the diseases known, with which the female organism is afflicted, kidnpy disease is the most fatal, and statistics show that this disease is on the increase among women. Unless early and correct treatment is applied the patient seldom survives when once th^ disease is fastened upon her. We believe Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the most efficient treatment for chronic kidney troubles of women, and is the only medl icine especially prepared for this J purpose. When a woman is troubled with pain or weight in loins, backache, frequent, painful or scalding urination, swelling of limbs or feet, swelling under the eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the region of the kidneys or notices a sediment in the urine, she should lose no time in commencing treatment with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as it may be the means of i 1IiA saving- ner inc. For proof, read what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Sawyer. " I cannot express the terrible suffering I had to endure. A derangement of the f eniale organs developed nervous prostration and a serious kidney trouble. The doctor attended me for a year, but I kept getting worse, until I was unable to do anything, and I made up my mind I could not live. I finally decided . to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com' pound as a last resort, and I am to-day a well p woman, I cannot praise it too highly, and I tell every suffering woman about my case." ?Mrs, Emma Sawyer, Conyers, Ga. i Mrs. Pinkham gives free advice to J women ; address in confidence, Lynn, j Mass. i #5.

BIG COMBINE IS ALLEGED Southern Farmers Alleged to Have Been Mulcted of Millions Through Concern Known as the "Can ada Company," A Washington dispatch says: Charging that the farmers of the south have been mulcted of from five t?# seven million dollars by a fertilize!* trust, the department of justice Monday at Nashville, Teun., started on foot the prosecution, under the antitrust law, of fertilizer manufacturers alleged to be members of the trust. Some of the most prominent business men of the southern states are involved in this prosecution. The combination which the government attacks includes practically all the manufacturers of acid fertilizer in the country covering especially those doing business in the cotton states east of the Mississippi river. The manufacturers involved include some in Baltimore and Chicago, as well as In Atlanta, Norfolk, Richmond, Nashville, Charleston and other southern cities. Hon. Edward T. Sanford of Knoxville has been retained as special counsel for the government in this pros ecuuon. ine government win allege a combination of manufacturers through the medium of a corporation organized in Canada, known as the Canada Development company, has been formed, it is alleged, by all the fertilizer companies whose product has gone 'nto the territory named, and through it the sales of the output of the different factories and the price at which fertilizers have been sold Lave teen regulated. The facts concerning the organization of this Canada company and its operations were some months ago laid before the department of justice by a former employee of the A/mours, who was selected to be one of the officers of this controlling corporation at the time of its organization. The matter has been under investigation by the department since then. Last week congress passed a bill changing the time of holding federal court at Nashville. This bill was vetoed by President Roosevelt on the ground that as the department of justice had important business prepared for the session of the court, the change should not now be made. This announcement was regarded as only -i 1 1 nl tfi/wi?nA. Kilt It Tl A TIT lift. UJ. lUtm SlglliUMU^C, UUb tb uvn velops that the important business in question consists of the anti-trust cases. The government will undertake to show that immediately following this alleged illegal combination of manufacturers, the price of fertilizer was increased by about $2 a ton, and that this cost the farmers of the southern states from five to seven million of dollars. Under ?he Sherman anti-trust law not only is every contract or combination in restraint of trade declared it legal, but it is provided that "every person who shall make any such contract or engage in any such combination or conspiracy shall be deemed guilty of a midsdemeanor, and on conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $5,000, or by Imprisonment not exceeding one year, or by both said punishments in the discretion of the court." "While the Canada company itself cannot be reached, it is the theory of the department that individuals party to such trust agreement and profiting | by it can be prosecuted criminally wherever they can be reached. Officers of the Virginia-Carolina Company, the Armour Fertilizer company and of other fertilizer companies who held an interest in this Canada Development company are Involved in this prosecution. It is said the company was dissolved as soon as it became known the government was investigating its operations. INSURANCE MEN LENIE-NT. Companies Decide to Pay Their Lot* ? :- \A/ifhnuf OimtUnn. Cft III n l?VV VI i%nv?m ^MWW-.?... The insurance companies have already taken up the question of losses in San Francisco. The companies have decided to pay dollar for dollar on the losses, whether fire or by earthquake. This will mean, if the less totals $200,000,000, as it undoubtedly will, that $110,000,000 will be paid in San Francisco realty owners. With this as a start, new structures, it is expected, will soon be in course of erection. DR. BRADLEY TO PREACH. Noted Methodist Divine to Deliver Commencement Sermon at Tuskegee. Dr. H. S.

Appalling Disas Golden Gate tr ? and Demoi WHOLE CITY GOlEi OVER TWO THOUSAND LIVES LOST AND HUNDREDS INJURED. ; I Two Hundred Thousand People Homeless?Calamity Most Frightf ul on Record in American History. San Francisco, erstwhile great me- , I tropoils and Golden Gate of the we3t, < ia a mass of ruins and the scene of 1 utter desolation as the result of a , terrific earthquake shock and appall- ] ing conflagration which swept the city J from center to circumference. It was 5:15 o'clock Wednesday morning when a terrific earthquake shook the whole city and surrounding country. One shock apparently lasted two" minutes, and there was almost immediate collapse of structures all over the city. The water supply was cut off, and when the fires broke out in various sections there was nothing to do but to let the buildings burn. Telegraph and telephone communication was shut off. tAcre after acre has been ground into dust and ashes, despite the heroic perseverance of the fireinen to limit the conflagration. Over two thousand lives are believed to have been lost, two hundred thousand people are homeless, and property loss of over $300,000,000 has been done as the result of the cataclysm. Tens of dynamite were used in blowing up buildings in the vain endeavor to check the conflagration. The entire section of the city lying along Van Ness avenue from Golden Gate avenue to Pacific avenue, sixteen blocks in all, containing the homes of many millionaires and apartment houses were leveled by gunpowder, by the order- of the authorities. All of San Francisco's best business houses, hotels and theaters are a mass of ruins. The earthquake demolished them for all practical purposes, and the fire completed the work of demolition. The fire swept on so rapidly that it was practically impossible to save anything in its way. Big buildings are crumbled into z heaps. 'Factories and business houses < lie smouldering on their former sites, c All of the newspaper plants have i been rendered useless. It is estimat- l ed that the loss in San Francisco will i reach $400,000,000. These figures are i in the rough, and nothing can be tola i until partial accounting is taken. t From the business section, the fiery demon spread to the residential c portion of the city, sweeping every- 1 thing clear in its path. Thousands: s upon thousands of people fled from j r the fire-enthralled city, flocking to the | s ferries, to the parks, to the military j ? reservations and to the suburbs. But j i there was no panic. The people are ' I calm, stunned. They seem not to real- : 1 ize the extent of the calamity. j a At 9:15 o'clock Thursday morning j I all hope of saving any portion of the j 1 city from destruction was abandoned, j I and the people set about trying to | c escape what might be a worse fate? i f Fire Finally Gotte Atf' 2 o'clock" Friday afternoon, the following dispatch was sent out from San Francisco: "The fire is now positively stated to be under control, with the probabil +v>o oitv lvlns: ity tnai one-quui lci ui ? west of Franklin street and known as the western addition, northward to the Presidio, will be saved. The stand made at Van Ness avenue was generally successful, the flames crossing that avenue to the west in only a few places. The strongest fire at noon today was toward North beach, east of Van Ness avenue, but it will be controlled." Stanford Univei Reports received from Palo Alto j < say Stanford university is practically ] demolished. All but one of the uni- 1 versity buildings are in ruins, togeth- i er with the Memorial church. < Palo Alto is 33 miles south of San ] Francisco on the coast line of the j Southern Pacific railroad.

Tho Situation could not be worse, general Funston, in command of the troops .stationed in tno c.ty, sent the following telegram to wa^mngton: "At tms ume iy:lo a. uij nothing new. Ino city is still numing, and could not ue worse, food has been exhausted and the arinking water supply is cut off. Troops have been aiding police, patrolling and maintaining order. Working in conjunction with civil authorities. You cannot send too many tents or rations. About 20i>,000 people homeless. Food very scarce. Provision houses all destroyed. All government buildings in city gone." Prompt action was taken by the war department. Two hundred thou sand rations have been directed to bo sent from Vancouver barracks to San Francisco, and a large number nf tents from Vancouver and other army posts. The supplies will be forwarded with all the expedition possible so that they may be at the disposition of the authorities at the earliest date practicable. The Western Union office in New ifork received a dispatch timed 5 p. 3i.

Efforts to fight the lames futile. Three hundred thousand rvill be homeles stcnight By Saturlay San Francisco will be an ash leap." Reports from the interior of California are most alarming.

The people, now homeless and threatened with starvation, are fae ing the awful calamity wnicn swept the great city practically out of existence with a spirit of resigned fortitude that must command the admiration of the world. There are no evidences of weakness to be seen among the crowds or stricken people.
