A Story, Which May Not Be Trues That
 wHH Be Food For the Superstitious.
 Thirteen members of the Sprudel Fishing club of Buffalo defied the old superstition one sultry day last August, embarked in yacht belonging to one of the party and made day of it down the river. They visited some of the pleasure resorts on Grand island, ate fine lunch, drank much beer and re- turned Co the city about 10 o'clock in the evening. As evidence of what they had done they sat before photographer at Sour Spring Grove and had group picture made. The photograper was or dered to strike off 8 copies, one for each member, and then destroy the negative.
 The Sprudels is great sooial-politi- cal organization of Buffalo. It has near ly 1, GOO members Last winter it se- cured the big Broadway arsenal and gave a ball for charity, which was at- tended by 10, 900 people.
 The B men who made the trip were all comparatively young men, not one over 42, and all robust and healthy. Within two months three of them have died suddenly. The first of the 13 to go was Michael North, a wholesale cigar dealer He caught cold in the early winter, had hemorrhage of the lungs and died suddenly. He was 42 years old and man of strong constitution. About two weeks later the Sprudels were shocked to learn of the sudden death of Albert Baetzhold He went into the street while in heated condition after a contest in bowling alley, caught cold and was carried off by pneumonia in two days He was 31 years old, nearly 6 feet high, weighed 180 pounds and had the red cheeks of girl The third to die was the man of all the members of the club whom an insurance company would pick out as the best risk. He was Herman IL Hamper, an amateur ath- lete, man who never dissipated, feet tall, splendidly proportioned and 30 years old. Pneumonia killed him in two days
 The rest of the 18 began to feel un- comfortable. One day, while looking at the picture taken at Sour Spring Grove, it struck John Schwabl as remarkable fact that the three men who had died stood in the front TOW in the picture. He communicated his discovery to the others. When the picture was taken, the men stood four in row. with the thir- teenth man in the rear. Buffalo Dis patch in New York Sun.

THE ANTE PRUST BILL

The antitrust bill is one of the most important measures that has been introduced in the General As sembly at this session of the Legis- lature. The bill is almost an exact copy of the famous Texas antitrust law which has been upon the statutes of that State since 1889.
 The most gigantic trust in the State of Arkansas is the combine of the cotton seed oil mills, which com binatiou Las reduced inc price of cotton seed in the last few years from SIS to $6 per ton. In the meantime, however, the uses of the product of cotton seed have multi piled and the demand for cotton seed products has increased accordingly. That there is a combine among the cotton seed mills of this State cannot be denied by any man who has in- formed himself, and, in fact, is not denied by the trust people them selves. That there should be any opposition to proposed law for the regulation of this trust which is so sorely expressing the farmers and cotton seed producers of our com monWealth, is matter of great sur prise The Texas antitrust law was passed through both branches of its Legislature without dissenting voice, but the bill in the Arkansas Legislature has been bitterly con- tested and assailed at every point. It is claimed by the opponents of the bill that it is too sweeping and far reaching; yet, it is no broader in i ts scope than the Texas antitrust law, and is not as broad as the Mis- souri law. It is also claimed that the passage of the bill will drive capital out of the State, yet under the oper- ations of her antitrust law Texas has made more rapid advancement than Arkansas, and ten new cotton seed oil mills have been built in the Hone Star State' since its passage. These are She old arguments of those who believe in giving capital and combinations Of capital unlim- tied sway, and no bill which has for it's purpose the regulation of corpor- ations could doubtless be introduced that would meet their approval As the bill progresses, however, let the people keep an eye on the record.

The Mysterious Individual Who staked
 Count Boniface and Caught On.
 Here is the first explanation of a hitherto inexplioable circumstance of the Gould-G -Gastellane marriage:
 Among the guests at that most adyer- tised of American marriages was man, newly rich, not distinguished for ele- ganee of manner, breadth of education or for anything save an inordinate and abnormal itch to ''get into society," and a monumental cheek in furthering an ambition not uncommon to people of his anteeedents
 But he was there, and all the Four Hundred looked on and wondered, es- peoially those that were not invited.
 It turns out now that this hearty old buck of humble origin, small beginnings and unbounded aspirations got his inyi- tation to the wedding through Count
 As every body knows, Count Boniface had very little money prior to his mar riage with the American heiress.
 He was forced to borrow.
 He was short of collateral or other material security, but his social position was valuable in the eyes of the man to whom I have referred.
 The latter came to the counts assist ance and indorsed his notes to the amount of $200, 900, I am told, and thereafter was the counts bosom friend.
 Wherever tho Count Castellane was, there was f'the little joker" and of course he got an invitation to the we'd ding, and of course he went.
 You can bet that this particular ex- ample of the newly rich never misses trick in his social game.
 And such is the complex and hetero- geneous character of our social fabric that, ill spite of certain drawbacks, like the insect without wings, he will got there just tho same

COTTON has advanced in price. This is done no doubt to persuade the farmer that the feeey staple will bring a greater price next fall, n order to induce him to plant larger crop. But the farmer should not be deceived. The wise farmer will raise everything he eeds for his own consumption on his farm and plant only the surplus in cotton Then, and not till then, will we have pros perity.

THE Gdzette is exceedingly unfair in its reports of the discussions on the antitrust bill. The speech of every Senator who opposes that bill lis given in full, while only few lines are devoted to the supporters of the measure. By that means the antitrust bill is greatly misrepre sented throughout the State Is the cotton seed oil trust behind the scheme?

with obtaining money under false pre-
lenses, occupied the attention of the Po-
lice Court yesterday. Justice Meyer of
Galt presided, as Justice Henry and
Davis OF this city had been subpenaed as
witnesses.
t. Levine. the plaintiff, stated that he
was indebted to Gratcher & Sons, grocers,
for bill OF goods; and that owing to
sickness in his family he had been un-
able to pay the debt; that on the 18th of
the present month he received notice to
call at the office of Devine and settle.
He called the same day, and was informed
that the bill was SIT As, and that So 80
costs OF court had already been con-
tracted. He said he then borrowed the
IaIl amount, $50 80, at the suggestion of
Devlne, from Charles Heisen, and re-
costs.
Having suspicion that no suit had
been begun in court, and that no costs
nad accrued, he sought the advice of a
lawyer. The latter had an interview with
LEVINE, who refunded Sl2 90, alleging
that he was only too willing to rectify
any mistake that had been made.

The first duty of the Board of Trustees

mand for it. I am advised that by Janu-

L. The construction of complete and

z. The erection of a City Hall for mu-

o. The construction of a lighting plant

pest by keeping down the taxes and not
increasing their burdens. Respectfully

about the condition of things down the

Ryde Landing was on Grand Island
