His body was support ed in its position by the conduits, which had burned Into his shoulders.

Groh, baggagemaster for the Northern Pa cific Terminal company, at the hear ing before the railroad commission of the rtmplaint of the Baggage Service TraMfer company, regarding service in the baggage room at the union depot. The complaining company al leged it has been discriminated against Groh began to work for the termi nal company 11 years ago, he testified, and he received $10 a month from the Baggage & Omnibus Transfer company until 19C9, and from that time until last September he had received $20 a month. Asked what he had given in return for the presents, he said that, it had been nothing which the relations of the baggage company and the terminal company did not call- for. Commission er Altohison asked him If the gratui ties, did not stop when the "anti-tip order of the commission went into ef feet last fall, and Groh admitted it must have been about that time. "Independent" Crave Tips. F. C. Cooley, an "Independent" bag gageman. testified that he had fre quently given tips to baggage clerks at the depot for special privileges, sometimes as much as $2.50 a time. W. H. Warrens, manager of the Bag, gage & Omnibus Transfer company, said that prior to the time he assumed managership of the company, last spring, it was the custom of his com pany to give presents to city bag' gagemen of various roads in return for recommendations, given by these ticket men to patrons for the baggage comnany. He admitted on cross-ex amination that the Worthern Pacific railroad employes were the only ones he could remember who were paid these nresents, but offered to look up his records before the hearing is re sumed tomorrow. Contracts between the Baggage & Omnibus Transfer company and the Northern Pacific. Southern Pacific and O.-W. R. & N. roads, the three using the union depot, were Introduced In evidence. The contracts give the right to the baggage company to send men aboard the Incoming trains to solicit patronage and to check baggage at homes of patrons for outgoing trains, "Stripping" Hot Mentioned.1 The right of the baggage company to segregate baggage of Incoming trains and to "strip" the baggage, as the removal of checks is called, was not mentioned In the contracts, but Manager Warrens declared that he con sidered that an unwritten part of the contract. These rights form the ground for the complaint. He declared these practices assisted In relieving conges tlon and aided independent baggage men in getting their baggage ou auickly. Warrens declared that his company had similar contracts with the com panies which use the North Bank sta tion, and that since the present com plaint had been filed the segregatiotrof baggage and stripping had beep stopped by the railroad companies.

The State Grange of Ore gon has declared after an investiga tion, in favor of retaining the univer sity and agricultural college as sep arate institutions and (definitely de fining the distinctive work of each so as -to leave no further opportunity for conflict of needless duplication) and W hereas, The Board of Higher Cur ricula, at a recent meeting, has an nounced its intentions to order the tnginering course to be divided be tween the two institutions, and Whereas. Such action will fail to avoid the duplication of work, building, and of machinery, and Whereas, We believe such an order to be a menace to the splendid useful ness of the agricultural college. Therefore be It resolved, That we. the members of the Polk County Grange, ask the Board of HJgher Cur ricula to matte such adjustments as will give arl of the work, in applied science to the agricultural college, and to the university the work in educa tion, law, medicine, pure science, and the arts.

Watch Carefully the Child's Diet Start Them Off Right With a Good Laxative and Then Watch Their Food. Mothers are often unconsciously very careless about the diet of their chil dren, forcing all to eat the same foods. The fact is that all foods do not agree alike with different persons. Hence. avoid what seems to constipate the child or to give it indigestion, and urge it to take more of what is qutckiy digested. If the child shows a tendency to con stipation it should immediately be given a mild laxative to help the bow els. By this is not meant a physic or purgative, for these should never be given to children, nor anything like salts, pills, etc. .What the child re auires is simply a small dose of the gentlest of medicines, such as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which, in the opinion of thousands of watchful moth ers, is the ideal remedy for any child showing a tendency to constipation. So many things can happen to a consti pated child that care is necessary. Colds, piles, headaches, sleeplessness, and many other annoyances that chil dren should not have can usually be traced to constipation. Many of America's foremost families are never without Syrup Pepsin, be cause one can never tell when some member of the family may need it, and all can use It. Thousands endorse it, among them Mrs. M. E. Patten, Valley Junction, Iowa, who is never without it in the house. Mrs. Patten says that Syrup Pepsin has done wonders for her HI vkQh, J BALFK M. FATTEjr. boy Ralph, who was constipated from birth but is now doing fine. Naturally she is enthusiastic about it and wants other mothers to use it. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold by druggists at fifty cents and one dollar a bottle the latter size being bought by those who already know its value, and It con tains proportionately more. Everyone likes Syrup Pepsin as it is very pleasant to the taste. It is also mild and non-griping and free from injurious ingredients. Families wishing to try a free sam ple bottle can obtain it postpaid by addressing Dr. W. B. Caldwell. 419 Washington St., Monticello, HI. A pos tal card with your name and address on it will do. MUNSEY FOR FEBRUARY Some Magazine For October, 1900, we got out a particularly good number of The Munsey. I said so on the cover a plain, matter-of-fact, signed statemenjt that it was the best number we had ever issued. Such an innovation, such a shocking disregard of number makes the other one look small and indif- conventionality, was intolerable in the eyes of the ferent. That number had 160 pages; this one has newspaper paragraphers. I bore up tolerably well 234 pages. That number cost to go to pre$s $5000; under the criticism, however, and the magazine this one cost $20,000. That number contained short itself struggled along with its increased sale of instalments of two serial stories; this one'eontains, over a hundred thousand copies on that number in the place of these serials, a full-length $1.50 alone. book novel, published complete in one issue.
