COAL TRUST FORCED INDEPENDENTS OUT B- Cable to Tbe Daily Gateway. *’hiladelphia. May 2"> Several inde-■ p> ndent coal operators will testify be* fo-e the intt t state commerce commis sion that they were forced out of busi ness by the railroads, which refused to carry the independent product on the pretense that they were short of cars, widle at the same time they were I furnishing the coal trust with all the cars required. This enabled the trust to control prices and to keep the inde pendents out of the markets when they desired. Trapper Frozen Todeath Charles Nelson, a trapper well known around Kenai for several years, was frozen to death on the trail from that place to the headwaters of Moose river about tin* middle of the winter. His Ixxly was found by a native a short time ago about twenty-five miles from Kenai. He left the town in the cold weather last winter on a trapping ex pedition and as he never returned his acquaintances understood that he had been frozen to death on the trail. S. W. Wible Not Badly hurt It is learned from Sunrise that S. W. Wible, the mining man, was not seri ously hurt by the accident he suffered a few days ago by his horse falling with him.

CHARLES EVAPORATED CREAM In making St. Charles Cream we do not use sugar. We take the best of milk and reduce it to the consistency of a very rich cream by evaporation. We do not use acids or other antiseptics, but by the scientific application of heat we destroy all disease germs and all possibility of fermentation. This is the reason why St. Charles Cream keeps indefinitely and will not curdle either in digestion or in cooking. St. Charles Cream, when diluted with pure water, is humanized milk. It is the best food known to science for infants and inva lids. It is better than the best ordinary milk or cream for all purposes—and just as cheap. Sold by ‘BtJ* Groctrj E-Vtrytvhtro. ST.
