FOR THE PUBLIC
New Formula Cures Coughs, Colds,
Bionchltis and Hoarseness
In Five Hours.
Much la being done In these days to atop the
ravagis of consumption, but probably nothing
has been so c ffective an teaching the public how
to break up a cold and cure coughs, bronchitis,
tonsilitis. et? with ample, home-mixed medicine
free from opium, poisons, etc. A laxative cough
syrup, free from wh skey nnd poisons, is the
prime need. A cough Indicates inflammation and
congestion, and these in turn are due to an excess
of waste and poisons in the system. A tonic lax
ative cough syrup rids the system of congestion
while relieving the painful coughing. Get the
following and mix at home: One-half ounce fluid
wild cherry bark, one ounce compound essence
cardiol and three ounces syrup white pine com
pound. Shake the bjttle and take twenty drops
every half hour for four hours. Then one-half to
one teaspoonful three or four times daily. Givi

RATE CUT ORDERED
Oregon Railroad Commission Is

ROAD TO LOSE $75,000 A YEAR
Decision Follows the Northern Pacific
Ruling in Washington and Will .
Likely Be Obeyed.
Portland, Oct. 2. The state rail
road commission of Oregon yesterday
handed down its findings in the matter
of the Oregon Railroad & Navigation
company and its various branches in
Oregon, known as the grain-rate case,
which has been before the commission
for several months. The commission
declares the rates now in force to be
unjust and unreasonable and orders a
reduction equivalent to a cut of about
one-eighth in the present rates, which
will make a difference in the revenue
of the railroads of approximately $75,
000 per year on the volume of business
being done at this time.
The grain-rate order was issued by
the commission from its office in Salem,
and while the general freight depart
ment of the Oregon Railroad & Navi
gation company yesterday was aware
that such an order had been if sued, on
ly its general terms were known. W.
E. Coman, assistant general freight
agent, declined to express any opinion
as to whether the railroad company
would abide by the order or appeal to
the courts to prevent it enforcement.
The order, in effect, -is practically
the same as that made by the Washing
ton railway commission, commanding a
flat reduction of 12 4 per cent on grain
rates from points on the Northern Pa
cific to Puget sound.
Recent action by the Northern Paci
fic has given the Washington commis
sion the understanding that the railroad
will obey the order without recourse to
the courts. The Washington commis
sion has made such an announcement,
but in the offices of the North Bank
railroad, which of necessity in the pres
ervation of its business will be com
pelled to meet the cut, nothing definite
is known as to the purpose of the
Northern Pacific.
As to the points affected by the Ore
gon commission's rate order, the issue
is almost solely one for the 0. R. & N.
The Northern Pacific has a short
branch running into Oregon, but the
Northern Pacific is not affected by an
Oregon order nearly so much as is the
0. R. & N.' by a Washington order re
ducing grain rates.
ORDERS NEW EQUIPMENT.
Harriman Railroads'Buy $17,000 000
Worth of Rolling Stock.
Chicago, Oct 2. Orders for equip
ment and power have just been placed
by Harriman lines which will bring the
total expenditure for this purpose
during the laBt six months up to fully
$17,000,000.
The latest order is for 1,500 steel
under-frame refrigerator cars, which
are being constructed by the. Pullman
company, and an order for 500 all-steel
ballast cars. Orders have also been
given which bring the Harriman lines
all-steel passenger equipment up to
nearly. 600 cars. Orders which are
now being delivered are for 480 all
steel passenger cars, the largest order,
with one possible exception, that of
the Pennsylvania road, ever given.
In this connection it is stated that
the Harriman lines were pioneers in
the use of all-steel passenger cars in
the West, and that they will here
after use nothing in their passenger
service which is not Bll-steel and prac
tically indestructible.
Hariman lines are also beginning to
receive the first of 5,400 freight cars
and 105 locomotives ordered less than
six months ago. The order for loco
motives calls for 33 of the heavy Mal
let compound type. These locomo
tives, it is claimed, will haul fully 10
per cent more than any two of the or
dinary locomotives in use.
Rebate Fine Is Paid.
Los Angeles, Cel., Oct 2. The
Southern Pacific railroad pleaded guilty
today in the United States District
court to rebating and was fined $1,000
by Judge 01 in Wellborn. Through At
torney C. M. Durbrow, of San Francis
co, the company entered a plea of tech
nical and unintentional guilt The
maximum penalty would have been
$10,000. The counts in the indictment
on which the fines were imposed were
the cases in which the Southern Pacific
granted rebates to the Penn Fruit com
pany and Harris-Newmark company.
Suspected of Piracy.
Mexico City, Oct 2. A special dis-
ptch from Merida says : The pilot boat
L-olt, suspected of being engaged in
actual piracy, is equipped with several
rapid fire guns. The suspicious con
duct of the vessel caused the gunboat
Bravo to run her kiown. A corps of
customs officers has been sent aboard
for the purpose of making an inventory
of her cargo and both cargo and vessel
will be declared forfeited to the gov
ernment Roosevelt's Return Delayed.

Save tfie Babies.
INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can haidly realize that of
all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent., or nearly
one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent., or more
than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen I
We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a ma
jority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these
infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures
and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium, or
morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity
they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria
operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of
Chas. H. Eetcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the
pores of the skin and allays fever.

Letters from Prominent Physicians
addressed to Chas. II. Fletcher.
Dr. A. F. Peeler, of St Louis, Mo., says: "I have prescribed your Castoria
in many cases and have always found it an efficient and Bpeedy remedy."
Dr. B. Down, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "I have prescribed your Cas
toria la my practice for many years with great satisfaction to myself and
benefit to my patients."
Dr. Edward Parrlsh, of Brooklyn, N. T., says: "I have used your Cas-'
torla in my own household with good results, and have advised several
patients to use it for its mild laxative effect and freedom from harm." I
Dr. J. B. Elliott, of New York City, says: "Having during the past six
years prescribed your Castoria for infantile stomach disorders, I most
heartily commend its use. The formula contains nothing deleterious
to the most delicate of children."
Dr. C. O. Sprague, of Omaha, Neb., says: 'Tour Castoria is an ideal
medicine for children, and I frequently prescribe it While I do not advo
cate the indiscriminate use of proprietary medicines, yet Castoria Is an
exception for conditions which arise in the care of children."
Dr. J. A. Parker, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Your Castoria holds the
esteem of the medical profession in a manner held by no other proprie
tary preparation. It is a sure and reliable medicine for infants and chil
dren. In fact it is the universal household remedy for infantile aliments."
Dr. H. F. Merrill, of Augusta, Me., says: "Castoria is one of the very
finest and most remarkable remedies for infants and children. In my
opinion, your Castoria has saved thousands from an early grave. I can
furnish hundreds of testimonials from this locality as to its efficiency
and merits."
Dr. Norman MGeer, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "During the last twelve
years I have frequently recommended your Castoria as one of the best
preparations of the kind, being safe in the hands of parents and very ef
fective in relieving children's disorders, while the ease with which such
a pleasant preparation can be administered is a great advantage."
