MERGE R CASE AS L POLITICAL ISSUE Waff Street Journal Says a Victory *%' for Roads Would Mean Re publican Defeat. r- Believes the People Would Disre- P?" gard Roosevelt's Attitude and It! Vote Against Him. Special to The Journal. New York, Nov. 14.The Wall Street Journal quotes the president of a large independe nt bank as saying: "I do not believe in the theory ad vanced by some of the Northern Se curities people, that a, decision by the supreme court against the company would greatly depress the stock mar ket. T think that whatever effect a decision against the Northern Securi ties company might, ha ve has already been discounted. The re might be a temporary flurry, but it would not last long nor do-much damage. "Moreover. I am firmly of the opin ion that, in the long run. Wall street, will be greatly benefited by a decision against the Northern Securities com pany. In fact, , nothi ng would be more disastrous to its interests than the legal upholding of the monopoly idea in railroads. The effect upon the people would be very bad, and na tionalization of the railroads might be the least.of the consequences of their revolt. "I confess that T am very much \n- terested in the question of the prob able political results of a decision in favor of the Northern Securities com pany. A s I figure it out, such a de cision would elect a democrat as pres ident. The people, I think, would overwork the fact that Roosevelt tried to prevent the combination, and in their anger against the trusts, would elect a democrat as the best way, in their opinion, of attacking them. A decision against the company will greatly help Roosevelt." --h- SAYSlHE WEST : IS PROSPEROUSCountyoNationalBusinesof-mKerr,oAdanio, James J. Hill Tells Wall Street About Minneapolis Mills and His Railroads. New York, Nov. 14.In an inter view. James. J. Hill said: There is a feeling of apprehension that something unfavorable may happen which might tend to disturb the general situa tion. Against such development western bankers have taken .measures, and the banks of the west are now in very sound condition. The public is satisfied as .to the soundness of the financial institutions, and the fact that depositors show no un easiness is manifested by the way in whlGh money is pouring into ..the..banks. The west is full of money. Collections are good and railroad earnings keep up. The Northern Pacific last week showed an increase of $89,000, altho comparison is made with an unusually large volume of traffic handled a year ago. . One large milling firm in Minneapolis shipped- to Australia between Jan. i and Nov. 1 this year 160,000 barrels of flour. The same firm shipped to China in the same ^period 29,000 barrels, and has orders for.17,000 more. A single order for 500,000 sacks and another for 400,000 speak for a large trade. Down here in Wall street you do not hear of all this, and the only place it shows is in the exchange mar ket. The development of the Pacific trade is worth watching, and western condi tions generally are encouraging. TEACHERS FORM UNION Greater New York SchoolmVams, 13,000 Strong, Join Interborough.

THEY ARE AT OTTTS Frje^ldn Between Swedes and Russians Said to Be Increasing. Stockholm, Nov. 14.Advices from Lu lea state that friction between Swedes and Russians in the north is increasing. Gen eral Bobrikoff. governor general of Fin land, has ordered the bridge connecting Sweden and Finland, between the cities of Haparanda and Tornea, to be destroyed. Swedish authorities notified Bobrikoff that more than half the bridge is on Swed ish territory, and that adequate measures would be taken to prevent damage to that part ot the structure. They also stated that if the Finnish end of the bridge should be destroyed, ferries would be pro vided to ply between the remaining spans and the Finnish shore. Enraged at this intimation.

J. Wooley, recently made offi pial tax ferret. Mr. Hale' contended that the con tract was void for want of authority |h the board of county commissioners tq make it. H e claimed it was void for the followi ng reasons: FirstBecause |he board of county commissioners Is not charged with the duty of seeing to it that all property is assessed and piaced on the rolls of taxa tion. SecondBecause it is contrary to public policy in that it will disarrange and set at naught much of the machinery of the state for collecting personal property taxes and paying bills against the county that 25 per c6nt of the moneys-collected is an exorbitant compensation, and that it at tempts to appoint J. J. Wooley assistant county attorney for live years, which is beyond the'time for which any of the present county commissioners are elected and beyond the time for which the present county attorney has been elected. ThirdBecause the number of assistant county attorneys is fixed by law and that number is now employed. A. B. Jackson, as attorney for the defendants, argued that under the terms of the contract no property ex cept that omitted entirely from the tax rolls could be affected. "The plaintiff, fails to show," said Mr. Jackso n, "how he can suffer any injury unless he is one of those-whose property is concealed, Any money coming from the operation of this contract is 75 per ce nt clear gain to the county, to the. plaintiff and to every honest taxpayer." declared Pr .

To be on the verge of death, to be considered beyond the aid of the best medical skill and then to be restored to all the pleasures and duties of life, is ah experience so rare that its telling will interest most readers. Mrs. Charles Van ATstyhe,"of No. 307' West State street, Johnstown, N. Y., who is now enjoying perfect health, was, a few years ago, a victim of anaemia, a disease in which the blood becomes deficient in quantity and quality so that all the tissues of the body are starved an4 death frequently results. Indeed, in Mrs. Van Alstyne's case, alfj the - "poor boxes" o the Tenth Presbyterian church were robbed of their cash. A negro, Frank ThorontOn, on a wager that he would not be arrested, - walked two blocks along Illinois street with an open razor" in each hand, scattering the crowd right and left. He was finally captured. A burglar who entered the home of GeoVge Hinohilifl! was bold enough to stop and drink a glass of milk while Mrs. Hinchiliff looked on. ' These are but a, few instances.

(Credit for lining tip the insurgent republican members of. the. last con- gressJn support of the rule for the consideration of Cuban reciprocity legislation is largely due to Stevens and Tawney of Minnesota, themselves insurgents. They began last Thurs elates into line, and Tawney surprised the members of the rules committee later in the week when he told them that the rule for the consideration of the Cuban hill could be passed. If the bill were debated without the rule, a way wpuld be opened for the introduction qt'an amendment offer ing a differential, and that would have complicated the situation greatly. Tawney and Steve ns made it a per sonal matter to get the other insur gents into line, and their work is ful ly appi'eciated by Speaker Cannon. Their ability to influence their col leagues was all the greater, because of the fact that they probably suffered as much adverse criticism at home oh account of their Cuban stand as any other members of the house.

Brain wastes away daily just like the rest of the body and must be rebuilt, and the only way to do this is by proper food selected for just this purpose. A school girl of Worcester, Mass., wrote an interesting article about her experiments with food to study on: "Two years ago I had indigestion so bad that food did not nourish me and I lost a great deal of flesh and strength and was always suffering from trouble in my stomach. I could not study for my head always seemed clogged up. "One day at school I noticed that one of the girls had a box of Grape Nuts. I asked her about it, and from what she told me, made up my mind to try the food. "As the result of eating Grape Nuts three ti]rhs a day in place of improperly selected food, I have at last found the way to permanently curne&m^y' indigestion.
