Allowance Is a Rebate—Declared Il legal Because in Excess of the Ac tual Cost of Service and Must Be Reduced. Washington, April 19.—In what is known as the Peavy elevator case, the interstate commerce commission Thursday announced its decision against the Union Pacific Railroad company. The commission holds that the arrangement between the Union Pacific and the Peavy elevators was unlawful, as the allowance was in ex cess of the actual cost of the eleva tion of the grain, and, therefore, a rebate. The decision was prepared by Com missioner Harlan and his opinion was concurred in by a majority of the commission. Commissioners Clem ents and Lane, however, filed dissent ing opinions. Summary of Opinion. The opinion of Commissioner Har lan is summarized as follows: "Elevation is defined as unloading from cars or grain-carrying ves into a grain elevator and loading it out again after a period of not to exceed ten days it does not include 'treatment' or grading, cleaning and clipping of grain and retention in an elevator beyond ten days becomes storage and is not a part of the serv ice of elevation as that word is used in the statute. "The law clearly recognizes eleva tion as a faculty which the carrier may provide, and this authorizes the carrier to grant grain elevation at destination or while the traffic is in transit, subject only to the restric tion imposed by the act that eleva tion, like any other service offered by the carrier to the shippers, must be open to all on equal and reasona ble terms. re-grain When Charge Is Rebate. "Since a carrier subject to the act to regulate commerce is entitled to provide elevation for grain shipments, such carrier may either construct and operate the elevator itself or furnish elevation by arrangement with an owner of an elevator and the amount of compensation paid by the carrier to the owner of an elevator rendering the service, is of no concern to ship pers or other carriers, unless it oper ates to affect the rates charged by the carrier upon the grain traffic or by some device a portion of the allow ance is returned to shippers and thus becomes a rebate. "An allowance made to a shipper of grain who furnishes elevation service under an arrangement with a carrier is a rebate and an unlawful discrim ination when it involves a profit over and above the actual cost to such shipper of the service rendered. It is not a rebate when the allowance does not so exceed the actual cost. Allowance Is Unlawful. "The arrangement between the Union Pacific Railroad company and the Peavy elevators at Council Bluffs and Kansas City is not in itself un lawful. But the allowance of one and a quarter cents per 100 pounds paid by the railroad company to these ele vators, controlled by the Peavy in terests, who are large shippers of grain and own practically all the grain going into the elevators, is in excess of the actual cost of the serv ice, and is a rebate and therefore un law ful. "The commission orders that the al lowance by the Union Pacific Railroad company to the Pea^y elevators sball be reduced and shall not exceed three-quarters of a cent per 100whelming rounds, such order taking effect on June 1, 1907." LEAPS FROM WINDOW TO DEATH. Well Known Christian Scientist Com mits Suicide in Boston. Boston, April 20—Miss Mary E. Tomlmson of Concord, N. H., commit ted suicide here Friday by jumping from a window in an upper story of the Parker House. The woman died in the hotel office a few moments af ter her leap. It is believed that she was de mented. She came to Boston Thurs day morning. Miss Tomlinson was a sister of Irv ing C.

CENTENARIANS WILL WED Will Travel to England to Get Bride, Whom He Courted in Their Youth. sg^qaqj!" J. B. BUNDREN, AGED 101, IS TO MARRY WOMAN 100 YEARS OLD. St. Louis, April 20.—Announcement was made Friday that on August 26 next John. B. Bundren, who on April 1 was 101 years old, will be united in marriage to Miss Rose McGuire who is almost 100 years of age. The wedding will take place on Mr. Bundren's estate near Tatesville, Tenn. He has been visiting relatives in St. Louis for several weeks and has just returned to Tennessee. The announcement reveals a ro mance. Bundren and Miss McGuire were sweethearts in Tennessee in their youth. Her parents, of English descent, would not give consent for their marriage, and finally returned to England, taking their daughter along. Bundren went to California and acquired considerable wealth. He never married. From 'California he returned to Tennessee and bought his birthplace, near Tatesville. He decid ed to hold a reunion of old friends on his estate this year and sent out nu merous invitations. Not long ago he received a letter from Miss McGuire, who is still unmarried. Correspond ence followed and he renewed his offer of marriage and was accepted. The date for the wedding and the re union of friends has been set for August 26, on the bride's birthday an niversary, when she will be 100 years old. Bundren has long white hair and a flowing white beard. He does not smoke or drink. In June he will go to Preston, Lancashire, England, to escort his intended bride to his Ten nessee estate for the wedding. John B. Bundren of St. Louis, a namesake, will be best man. QUAKE DEATH LIST GROWING. Number of Victims in Mexican Disas ter Will Exceed 100. City of Mexico, April 19. Direct communication was established Thurs day with a number of towns situated in the district most affected by the recent earthquake. From these re cent telegrams it is now certain that the death list will exceed 100. There are a number of small towns yet to be heard from, but up to date the average number of fatalities at these places has ranged from nine to 12 and the number of injured from 30 to 40. One peculiar phenomenon which has been just made known is that after the first shock the air wasbeing filled for many miles with a thick, sickening, sulphurous odor. This caused great distress to the surviv ors. There are many speculations as to the cause of the peculiar freak of nature and some consider it as a proof that the earthquake had its ori gin in some subterranean explosion. For this reason considerable anxiety will be felt until news is received from the sections surrounding the ac uve volcanoes of Colima and Jurrello. Even the water in the streams was made sulphurous. MRS. M'LEAN IS REELECTED. Again Made Head of Daughters of American Revolution. Washington, April 19.—While the vote of the continental congress for national ctficers of the Daughters of the xVmerican Revolution will proba bly not be announced until Friday, it is freely admitted by both factions that Mrs. David McLean has been re elected as president general of the society. Mrs. McLean's supporters claim that the entire administration ticket will be elected by an over majority. The vote re ceived by Mrs. Elizabeth Eleanor Howard, of Alexandria, Va., who was nominated by the "insurgent" faction, her friends declare, will make her the logical condidate to succeed Mrs. Mc lean at the next session of the con gress.

ANIMALS AN POISON, Some Species Are Immune to the Most Deadly Drugs. MYSTERY OF THE HEDGEHOG. This Bristly Little Creature Can Make a Meal of Arsenic or Opium and Wash It Down With a Draft of Prussic Acid Without Discomfort. Poison is surely one of the most weird of nature's bizarre contrivances. A tiny speck of an innocent looking white powder on the tip of the tongue means instant death if that powder happens to be the deadly drug aconi tine. A moment's whiff of unseen va por, and if that vapor rises from pure prussic acid all human aid is too late. The strangest fact about that curious group of bodies called poisons is that sometimes they are not poisons. Of course every one knows that when kept under control by the skillful hand of the physician poisons are most val uable medicines. But few persons are aware of the still more curious fact that poisons when taken by certain an imals even in large quantities are quite harmless. Yet, strange as it may seem, this is perfectly true. Take, for instance, the hedgehog. This bristly little animal is absolutely poison proof. It can eat without discomfort as much opium as a hardened Chinese can smoke in a fortnight and can wash a meal down with as much prussic acid as would kill a regiment of soldiers. It is ca pable of swallowing arsenic with just as much relish as it eats cockroaches. It is quite immune to the venom of the snake, though the prickly hedgehog has little need to fear the approach of such a reptile. It has even been stated that it can swallow corrosive subli mate, and yet this is a virulent poison which human beings must handle with caution, for even a solution of it exter nally applied has been known to cause death. Cyanide of potassium is another deadly substance of which the hedge hog need have no fear, and yet the merest trace of the poison is sufficient to cause a full grown man to foam at the mouth and lose the power of his limbs. Truly the hedgehog is a strange freak, and yet not so inexplicable as the poisons by which he refuses to be poisoned. Man Is said to resemble the monkey in more ways than one but, whatever characteristics they may have in com mon, the ape differs from the human in this respect—he can take with impunity as much strychnine as would kill two men instantly. The monkey, curiously enough, shares the Immunity to strychnine poisoning with inverte brate animals. Another phenomenon is the rat. The number of rat poisons sold by druggists is legion, but there is one poison which never enters into their composition—namely, digitalin, the active principle of the foxglove. One-half grain of this poisonous prin ciple suffices to kill a man within three quarters of an hour, but the rat abso lutely refuses to let it kill him. When it is discovered that a human being has swallowed oxalic acid, the first thing the doctor does is to give his unfortunate patient a good dose of chalk, technically known as calcium carbonate. Strange to relate, chickens are not poisoned by oxalic acid, for the simple reason that their intestines con tain the antidote in the form of quan tities of calcium, which combine with the poison and render it quite harm less. It is interesting, however, to mention that if oxalic acid is injected into the blood of a fowl it would be poisoned. It is only when given by the mouth that the acid comes in contact with the antidote. However, as chick ens are not provided -with hypodermic syringes, they are not likely to run any danger If China were inhabited by pigeons instead of by people who speak pigeon English, a costly war and no end of controversy might have been averted, for pigeons are not demoralized by opium. You cannot put a pigeon to sleep with the "drowsy giant," simply because there is something in the bird's interior which resists the narcotic in fluence of the morphine to which opium owes its activity. There is little to connect the Russian peasant with a goat—unless it is beard —yet nevertheless both have one trait In common-neither is harmed by hem lock. It was the juice of the hemlock, so we have been told until we are tired of hearing it, that killed Socrates. Ever since then it has been on the poison list as far as civilized beings are concern ed but, all the same, roots of hemlock fire eaten as food by the Russian peas ants—and by goats. In one respect the peasant of the Austrian Tyrol resembles the hedge bog, because he can take in one dose as much arsenic as would kill several Americans. This is not because the peasant is provided with any special means of combating the effects of the drug, but because he habituates him self to it. The Tyrolean finds that ar Benic increases his power of endurance. He commences by taking an eighth part of a grain for a dose, which is gradually increased until he can take without any ill effect five or more grains at a time. Experts have not been able to make ap their minds whv these people be come tolerant to the drug. The most plausible theorv put forward up to the present is that kn antitoxin is formed by the administration of the poison which immunizes the subject, just as calf lymph 5*umunizes us against nnallpox.—Baltimore Sun. -Mi's C^jj3fW- Km, -M- ffi JEWEL STOVES AND' JT lURGESTSWEPUHTlNTHEWOmOLl ft ft ft ft ft it it job ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft nf Fresher than packagegoods,costsless,tastes better.
