Edgar Allan Poe possessed that highly developed dual nature which he has so forcefully brought out In his "William Wll»on." It is largely on this account that authorities differ so widely in attempting to depict his life The general conception of Poe is one of anything but sobriety, faithfulness of duty and respect for home life, and yet no less an authority than N. P. Willis, who for some time employed Poe as critic and sub-editor on his daily paper and who thus became in timately associated with the great author, describes Foe's life and habits as quite the reverse of the general conception. Mr. Willis states that he knew Poe intimately for four or Ave years following their first personal ac quaintance on the paper. At the time Poe resided with his wife and mother in-law at Fordham, a few miles out of town, but "was at his desk in the office from 9 in the morning until the evening paper went to press." He states that by common report he had been led to expect a very capricious attention to his duties and occasion ally a scene of violence and difficulty. Continuing, he says: "Time went on, however, and Poe was invariably punctual and indus trious. With the pale, beautiful and HAVE the largest and best tquippiid Machine Shop.

TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY DAILY McCumber Bill Sent Out With a Report That Bristles With Charges of Fraud Washington, Jan. 18.—Senator -Mc Cumber's federal grain Inspection bill was reported out by the senate com mittee on agriculture, accompanied by report which bristles with charges of fraudulent practices in the grain trade. The report was in fact prepared in full by Senator McCumber himself and was adopted by the committee without any lengthy consideration. The committee offered no comment upon the measure, anj suggested no, ent session. The companion bill In amendments. Senator HansbrougH, chairman of the committee, is ill In Minneapolis. It is stated that the oo'nrtilttee sent the bill out In order that all further discussion of it might occur upon the floor of the senate. Senator McCumber has been per sistent in his efforts to have the^cofn mittee release the bill, and the com mittee finally went so far as to adopt the report which Mr. McCumber, who Is not fi member of the committee, of fered. 8ummary of Arguments. The document Is practically a sum mary of previous arguments before the committee, in favor of the McCumber bill. It does not particularly mention Minneapolis, but contains a vigorous arraignment of the terminal practices at Minneapolis, Dfcluth, Chicago, and other centers, and of the Minnesota in spection system and practice. After declaring that the producer has no voice in determining rules and regulations of inspection and grading, and in reforming the abuses of the system, "which operate as a fraud and injustice both upon the producer and consumer," the report points out about thirty-flVe reasons for federal inspec tion, and says in part: "These evils, which have been established by both the positive evidence of witnesses and the record admissions of the boards of trade and state warehouse commis sions may be epitomised as follows: Lack of uniformity in the grad ing of grain at the Various terminal markets. "Under tbe present system, whether under state laws or board of trade rules, the parties In interest as pur chasers at the great terminals domin ate and control all rules governing the handling of grain, Its inspection and grading. That such rules should be in the Interest of the technical pur chasers under such a system, is not surprising. "The appointment of -ispector- and the fixing of grades are under the con trol of the boards of trade. The re lation between the inspection and grading power and the purchasing In terest Is most close and intimate. "Appeals from the decision of in spectors are almost invariably taken to a board of appeals composed of persons who are either directly or in directly Interested in tbe purchase of grain, from the inspection of which the appeal is taken. "That the inspection and grading departments at these great terminal are subservient to and dominated the great elevator interests is estal lished ond question. "Rl#d" and "E^py.* As a result of this domination ami control has grown what is known as system of rigid and easy inspectio that Is, rigid inspection in the elevst tor and easy inspection out. "This enables the terminal elfevn tors to buy in the grain generally at a grade less than its true grade, mix i with other inferior grain, and sell same out at a grade higher than th true grade, thereby making the val* of the two grades. 'The result of thiB system is th the producer and Independent shlpp are beaten out of one grade of gra The consumer, by having Imported u on him a P°°r grade of grain under i certificate indicating a higher gra is compelled, after being" defraud several times, to pay a l^wer price a given grade, knowing that the gre received will not measure up to certificate., And as the valuj of gr£ on the farm is fixed by the prices p* In the field of consumption, it folio that this unjust and fraudulent s tem drives the value of our glfsm downward for every grade. "This is clearly established by testimony from foreign importe where it is said, on account of frauds perpetrated in certifying gn for export at a higher grade than it entitled to receive. American grt of a certain grade sells for seve cents per bushel less than Canadi or Argentine grade of the same grad The report then takes up *he subj* of mixing grain, and cites figures i cured by the North Dakota banke committee as to Minnesota termi). elevators, and tbe figures from 1 Minnesota grain inspection depa ment to show that much more hi^: grade grain is shipped out of the e vators than is taken In does not ft pear to have been shipped out in o responding quantities. "Nearly all the lower grades pi chased in," says the report, "disf pear entirely in the outshipments. Leads to Adulteration. "Under the present conditions .i enormous system of mixing and ad teration of grain has been built and this adulterated grain is for i on all the home markets and also li the foreign markets destroying confidence in our grades. "The evidence taken before the CO I mittee established beyond a quest i the fact of a systematic determinat n on the part of the exporters not to port highest quality of grain with mixture, because we would thereby tatolish such a high standard of quaMy that we might not be able to meet i demand. Because of this, our grade grain must suffer a deprecla* 1 value to the extent to which it adulterated "It is safe to say that all the grain producers of tbe northwest heartily desire federal inspection. All the in dependent grain dealers desire it. The foreign purchasers ask It. The great majority of the millers desire it. ,The legislature of at least one of the great est grain producing states In trje United States has petitioned repeated ly by resolution tor federal Inspection. This universal demand itself should be sufficient to secure tbe proposed legislation. "Those who are charged, and In our opinion justly charged, wtth profit .ing by the misuse of the authority «.nd powers placed in tbelr hands unrter the present system are the only ones who are objecting to federal inspec tion. i vr-, y.y. Harm the Wrong-Doer. "Federal inspection aifd grading can not possibly harm anyone except him who is being benefited by the present wrongful system. There Would be no [inducement or reason for the !nsp»c- s tor to resolve all doubts against the producer and in favor of the terminai purchasers. "We believe that the only effective remedy fbr the presqpt injustice is the absolute divorce of the purchasing in terest from the inspection and grad ing of grain, and this can alone be done by federal authority." There i$ a general belief in con gressional circles that the McCumber bill cannot pass the senate in the pres- the house, the Gronna bill, is still in the committee on Interstate commerce and will probably receive no action before the end of the session.

Being a liquid, it starts di gestion at once. Kodol supplies the same digestive juices that are found in healthy stomach. This is why it will stop the pains of indigestion quickly. Tour stomach, being weakened, probably, by over feeding or over work, is unable to do its work properly, and the natural result is Indigestion, sour stomach, gas, or belching, which will soon result in chronic dyspepsia unless the stom ach is given help.
