FERTILIZER 1-TtKKJHT FIGHT.
The ('oininlsnlnn Jins Adjourned the

Atlanta. I>co. 80.—After devoting
the morning* to the hearing of the fer
tilizer rate case, which wait brought
over from yesterday, the state rnllrcad
com mb •don ndjourned the hearing un
til Jnn. C, without having concluded the
investigation. The adjournment tvas
caused by the perl out, Illness of the son-
in-law of Chairman Trammell, who
wan called a way to lUrmlngham by
telegram.
The order Issued some time ago mak
ing the cut of SO per cent. In the rales
on fertilizers was book’d to go Into ef
fect Jen. 1. Hcforc adjourning today
the commission announced that the cut
would go Into effect us set forth under
this oruer nnd would continue at least
until the h» a ring 1« resumed on Jan. 6.
The effect of this will be to turn thous
ands of tons of fcrllllxeru loos** upon
the railroads between next Friday and
Jan. f». All tho factories have been at
work filling their warehouses upon ort
der*. waiting for shipment until the
first of tin* year, when tho 20 per cent,
cut would become effective. They will
therefore begin delivering these goods
to the railroads as faj»t as they can
haul them to the cars on Jan. 1. and
until the fit It anyhow the roads will
probably be swamped with these ship
ment s.
view of the determined tight which
the
ids lmv

against
cut, which they chit
them a quarter of a million dollars in
revenue within a couple of month-*, tho
fertiliser men. who are Interested In the
case, expect that an application will be
made by tho railroads to the courts to
prevent the cut from being forced Into
operation. It b expected that the roads
wdl make application for Injunction to
morrow. nit hough tht lawyers say thev
know nothing of such n proposition, if
the opposition of the roads does not
take chape In Injunction proceedings
sonic of the fertiliser men say they ex-
pect the railroads to servo notice upon
them that tlv*y will not receive ship-
menu nnd r the cut. If they do thli
the shippers will then have to apply
to the courts to compel them to obey
tho tariff <-f thi* commission. Commis
sioner Puts - of the Savannah freight
bureau, who ha* turn engineering the
Pght for the fertilizer men. takes an
ominous view* of the situation. He
things that the railroad* have deter
mined to make this a tight to a tlnlsh
with the railroad commission. In other
words, he takes the view that the loads
have reached that Ktage of confidence
in themselves that they will defy the
emmlsslon to enforce its rulings and
Captain Purse nnd Ocneral Henderson,
counsel for the Southern, who con-
ducted the er'smSna.Uon, had several

Tho original complaint vnui made
against. Cuthliert & Co. tliree months
sign, A spe-lal committee (roiu the gov

vestigate tho burinoM method, of tho
firm. Tho committee suspected Cuthbert
& Co. of employing buckclshop metluxls,'
or. In other words, of representing to
customers that they bad purchased nnd
ao'.d stock* according to orders, when.
In fact they had nude no trannctloua
whatever. The committee discovered evi
dence that an arrangement had been
made with Jacob Kirkner, a broker of
No. 24 New street, and a member of
the exchange, whereby Cuthbert & Co.
in rendering statement* to customers
wncnllov.nl to u«c hi* name a- a broker
Whom they had sold Jo or bought stocks
from.
To determine whether such an arrange
ment existed between Cuthbert & Co.
nnd Mr. Kirkner, a demand was made
upon Kirkner that he show (he entries
in bis books anil vouchers covering a
particular transaction alleged to have
been hnd with Cuthbert & Co. Ho refused
to open hla books to the Investigating
committee. For his refusai to do so.
which was declared to bo "detrimental
to tho Interest nnd welfare of the ex

pended lilm front the exchange for ono
year.
In meeting the allegations against them
Cuthbert & Co. engaged Joseph H.
Choate. Edward I/iutcrbaCh anil John
B. Dos Panos as counsel.
The special Investigating committee
made a case against Cuthbert & Co. on
a complaint by one D. It. Stewart Hint
they had bucketed an order which he
had given, them on Aug. 28, last. The
order was to poll short fifty shares of
Chicago, Burlington nnd Quincy rail
road atock on margin. They reported
to Mr. Stewart thnt they had sold the
stock to Mr. Kirkner. The Investigat
ing committee found that the gale was
never madp. Mr. Stewart gave an or
der to oover his short sale. Cuthbert
A Co. charged a commission of one-
eighth ofl per cent, for selling, and one-
clghth for buying the stock, and also
Interest on the Block, which was sup
posed to be borrowed, while "Mr. Stew
art was short of tho stock;, Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy stock at this
time hod a sharp rise and Mr. Stew
art's transaction showed a loss. The
loss as well ns the commission was so

finding. . ‘mi

This community would be shocked to
know the alarming prevalence of disease among
women, resulting from ignorance and neglect of
derangements of their natural functions. Every
woman ought to realize the importance of
prompt treatment of any variation from the
usual menstrual habit. When the time or dura
tion of menstruation varies there is derange
ment. If not properly treated the disorder will
increase and lead to chronic disease.
Women ought to know that
Win»ii
regulates the menstrual functions with perfect precision. It acts ilirectiji upon the
afflicted organs and corrects the trouble there. That slops the aches and pains in the
head, sides, back and limbs. Wine of Cardui does not force a result. It assists nature
to bring about regular healthy conditions. It is
entirely harmless to any lady in any condition.
Women who take a few doses of Wine of Cardui
every month do not have any sort of menstrual dis
order. All dealers in medicine sell it- |1.00 per
bottle.

I have suffered for years with irrejfnlar

I have been troubled with irregular
menses for about fti* years, and grew
worse every year. I had cramping
spells every three weeks, sometimes so
bad I thought I could not live. Eight
months ago I commenced using McKl-
rte's Wine of Cardui, and have had no
pains tince. Louise Tartar.
