" Please Smile

Look Pleasant"
Whn a woman Bays "I am racked with
pain," tho word " racked " recalls the days
whan they stretched the tender bodies of
women on the rack with rope and pulley
until the very lotnts cracked.
Fancy an attendant saying to the tor
tured woman, "Please smile and took:
pleasant." '
And yet the woman " racked with pain,"
Is expected to smile through her agony
and to make home happy. She can't
do It. It is against Nature. Generally
speaking, the racking pains of ill-health
such as headache, backache and "bear
Ing-down pains " are related to derange
ments or disorders' of the organs dls
tlnctly feminine. When this condition
is removed the general health is restored,
and with health comes back the smile of
happiness.
Any woman may regain her health at
home without offensive questionings or
examinations by the use of Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. Sick women may
consult Dr Pierce, by letter, free of
charge. Such letters are treated as
sacredly confidential.

MR. OLNEY SOUNDS ALARM.
Government Rate Making Leads
to
, Government Ownership.
. By Wire, to The Morning Star .
New .."York, Sept. 28. The reply of
the conservative 1 wing' of the Demo
cratic party to W. .J. Bryan's recent
open letter o the President on rail
road rate legislation la., contained in
an article by Richard Olney in the Oc
tober number of the North American
Review, published today.- In what is
practically his first public utterance
in two years. President Cleveland's
former. Secretary of State presents his
final judgment against the proposed
legislation, in tb.3 form of a brief, cov
ering not only the law but the public
policy involved in the agitation. In
discussing the effects of the govern
ment regulation upon the railroads,
Mr. Olney says: "
"The situation to be anticipated
then, is that railroads private proper
ties and representing private invest
ments, aggregating billions of dollars,
will find themselves controlled In the
vital matter of their charges, not by
their private owners but by two pub
lic boards one representative of local
Interests and the other of . national
interests, and both antagonistic to the
interests of the private owners con
cerned. The ' two boards will aim at
the lowest possible rates, each in be
half of the particular business under
its charge; and will therefore be in
constant rivalry with each other in
the endeavor to extort from the car
rier the best service at the smallest
cost. Under these conditions anything
like skillful, just, reasonable or stable
rate making becomes impossible. A
situation is created intolerable -alike
to the carriers and to the public and
the sure outcome unless the whole
scheme of government rate-making be
abandoned' is g6vern'ment ownership.
"Government ownership of all rail
roads is obviously the goal toward
which some of the government rate
makers are striving while others, if
not welcoming it and not working for
it, profess not to fear it,and claim that
it would at 11 events be an improve
ment upon the present status. But
when government ownership of the
railroads of the country is seriously
considered .our dual political system
is at once seen to present problems of
the gravest character. The few and
comparatively unimportant railroads
that are wholly intra state may be
properly ignored. Every railroad of
consequence is engaged in both kinds
of transportation in transportation
that begins and ends in a single State,
and. in transportation that passes be
yond State lines. Hence, if govern
ment ownership of railroads be regard
ed as the inevitable sequence of gov
ernment rate-making the first ques
tion is, which government is it that
is to own the railroads the State or
the United States?" ' -
"The significance and importance of
the inquiry," continues Mr.' Olnej,
"are apparent," If we remember that
the railroad ts only one species of
highway, and that what is true of
railroads must be true of ordinary
highways. The, Jurisdiction of the na
tional government must be the same
in both cases. If it is competent for
the national government under the
commerce clause to own and operate
all the great railroads of the country.
It -must be also competent for It to own
or control and operate all the great
highways of the country."
Of this deduction Mr. Olney says
that it would be revolutionary in prac
tice and contrdictory of views custo
marily held.

ENEXAMPLED ACTIVITY.

New York. Sept. 29. Bradstreets
tomorrow will say:
September a period of almost unex
ampled activity in-all lines of distri
butive trade and industry closes with
little abatement visible in demand and
with optimism as to the future wide
spread. Favoring the satisfactory
winding up of the month's work have
been good weather conditions, allow
ing the maturing of practically all
food crops without damage from frost.
Additionally helpful to distributive
trade and collections, have been the
beginning of a free movement or
Spring wheat, large sales of cotton at
good prices South, an unprecedented
demand at top prices for all kinds of
mull dine material, marked freedom
from industrial friction, and a market
for labor and its products active as
rarely before in the country's history.
With the advent of October some
quieting in the present demand might
laturally be looked for, and a few
tenters note that trade is less active
because many buyers have returned
home. Where, however, as in the case
of Spring sales of cottons and shoes,
a -line on next year's business is ob
tained, good reports are received. Iron
and steel buying for the last quarter
of this year and the first three months

JAPAN ON VERGE OF RUIN.
Financial Breakdown and Famine
' Were Threatening.
; BjT Cable to The Morning- Star.
Toklo, Sept. 29. Notwithstanding
the altonce of the- government, the
real fact Is disclosed that Japan made
peace at.Portsmouth in fear, of a finan
cial breadowh. The war proved more
costly than had. been calculated and
(the rice and cereal crops seemed doom
"ed to' failure. While some Improve
ment may still be in store. It is cer
tain that the rice crqp' promises to be
from 15 to 20 per cenL below the aver
age and far below last year's crop
when it was marvelously large. Six
months more of war would have
meant very hard times. . .

Sims Riddled With Bullets In Liberty
. 'V County, Ga Yesterday. '
By Wire to The Morning Star..'
- Ellabell, Ga., SepL.28.-tlddled with
bullets from the weapons of officers
of the law that he had defied for weeks
Will K. Sims, the desperado who . has
terrorized Bryan county, this after
noon paid the penalty for killing Con
ductor Julius Landsburg, of the Sea
board .Air Line. He is alleged too.

Sims into Liberty county this ' morn
lng. They, found him at the home of
a man named Parker, his father-in-law.
A' child shouted the alarm to Sims
as the officers approached and the out
law sprang from the bed. In which he
was sleeping seized : his rifle. He
fired twice at Sheriff Parish but miss
ed! Sheriff Parish, fired . once 'and
missed, but Deputysjibson's" first shot
struck Sims and he' went to his knees.
All three officers continued to fire rap
idly and Sims sank to the ground. Four
teen bullet wounds In his body were
shown by an examination. Sims kill
ed Landsberg here because the conduc
tor, would not let him ride to Sayan-
nah on his freight train,; Perry was
killed, it was alleged, because Sims
had heard that the negro had been
carrying reports about him to the off!
uers. There is great relief in Bryan
county -over the death of Sims.
