Hearing on Cattle Rates.
Chicago, Jan. 7—The Interstate com-
merce commission will resume its ses-
sions here today and will give a re
hearing to the complaints of the Nat-
ional I.ive Stock Association and the
Texas Cattle Raisers' Association re-
garding the charges of the terminal
company on cars of live stock arriving
in Chicago. It is alleged by the com-
plainants that the rate of $2 a car is
excessive, and this contention was
sustained by the commission at a hear-
ing held here early last year. At that
time the commission had no authority
to enforce it findings. This power is
granted by the new railroad rate law.
and the case has been reopened by
the cattlemen.
The commission will also hear the
complaints of the Texas Cattle Raisers
(Association against the Missouri, Kan-
sas & Texas and other railroad compa-
nies, alleging unreasonable differences
in the rate on interstate shipments of
cattle and other live stock.

Three Farmers Accused of Disposing
of Mortgaged Property.
G. W., C. W. and O. J. Hamilton,
farmers residing five miles east of the
city, were arrested Saturday night bv
Sheriff W. A. Grace and Deputy W.
L. Carr on a warrant charging dis-
position of mortgaged property. Th"
warrant was sworn out by County At
forney S." P. Freelltig, upon informa-
tion filed by W. S. Search, president
of the Bank of Commerce. They were
arraigned today before Justice E. D.
Reasor.
It was charged that the Hamiltons
had sold a span of mules from a bunch
on which the bank held a mortgage
of $1,000. They were sold for tho
purpose of raising money to pay on
a lease, and It appears thai there wa3
no intention on the part of the men
of breaking the law, as the remaining
mules are more than sufficient to se-
cure the mortgage.

still at the work, and it is believed
that they intend to go right ahead
in doing away with tracks around the
loop despite the protests of some o£
the citizens affected. No move to
stop the company has been taken by
those protesting in the way of an in-
junction and it is probable the com-
pany will be permitted to complete
destruction of the line around the loop

SHAWNEE DEALERS ARE HASTEN
ING TO COMPLY WITH ITS
PROVISIONS.
Druggists are Especially Affected by
National Measure—Some of the
Changes in Labels.
Dealers In Shawnee are still work-
ing over time to bring their goods in-
to romplance with the national pure
food law that went, into effect January
first. The law is very comprehensive,
and covers a large class of goods. In
order to comply with the law, however,
in the majority of cases it is not nec-
essary to change the composition of
the product, but simply to affix a
label that is not misleading, or attach
'sticker" giving the per cent of al-
cohol, preservative or any kind of in
jurious or poisonous ingredient.
In the drug trade especially have
some startling revelations been made
by the new law. A local druggist
said today: "We have kept an extra
man employed for a week re-labeling
our goods, and he Is not done yet. All
these goods that are marked," said h>'
pointing to the shelves, where pack-
ages and bottles of all kinds had been
scratched with a blue pencil, "are
booked for re-labeling, and others we is also saidi that a number of the most

Give yourself a good clothes sermon
before you start out to buy your Fall
Clothes. Steady your judgment be-
fore your money goes over a merch-
ant's counter. We have gone to such
lengths to put good clothes in our
store that we want as many men as
possible to know about it. That's why
we caution men to think twice before
they spend a penny on clothes. If we
can make you feel that it's simply im-
possible for any other store to equal
our Fall values, we're driving home
the truth and turning into our store
the trade that we deserve by right
of clean, far-sighted merchandising.
