ting, arguments were begun in the great
est case. in some respects, that has ever
been before the courts Ia this country.
John ID. Rockefeller. president Of the
Standard Oil company, is the defendant.
The amount involved is approximately
81 100000. AT the trial Of the case on
it's merits, in the circuit court ne Duluth,
before Judge Riner and jury, verdict
was given for the plnintiIi, Alfred Mor-

interests are represented by Mr. George

Refcron-,>has been made in
AN ExPES- these columns several times
sIvE recently TO the question OF
MIDDLE the royalties charged by the
MAN. fee owners Of iron producers
10 the Lake Superior regions
The latest and very striking illustration
Of this is mentioned by local paper de-
voted 20 the ircn ore interests. This Is
the Queen mine in Marquette county,
Mich This mine was operated by the
Lucy Mining company for seven years
During that time royalty Of forty cents
on 494, $50 tons Of ore, amounting 10
Si07, 1902, bad been paid to the fee own
ers, who had bought the land at So per
acre and had expended nothing on it
after, as the lessees in addition 20 the
royalty had To pay tue taxes, which
during the time mentioned amounted 20
say $50, 900. AS the price Of ore had
got so low the lessees found they could
not work the mine Mt a profit and asked
the fee owners TO reduce the royalty from
forty to twenty-five cents ton. This
request was refused, hence the mining
company ceased work and the property
is now idle. Another portion OF the
same tract, about twenty acres, was
leased by the East Jackson Mining com
pany, at a ground rental OF $4,000 per
annum for five years. The company
expended about $4,000 in sinking a
shaft and other explorations. At the
end OF the five years the company was
willing to raise moro money for explora-
tory work, provided tho owners would
remit the $4,000 per year ground rent
while the exploratory work was going
on, but the owners positively refused to
make any such concession. Records Of
the Lake Superior region show that
mineral rights bought for $4,000 after
mines were opened brought the buyers
100000 in royalty. These same
gentlemen now refuse to reduce the roy
atty To twenty-five cents por ton. One
company which opened mine on this
property spent nearly S175.00O, then
found that the low price OF ore would
not permit the mine TO be worked at
that rate OF royalty, yet no reduction
could be secured.
1t is plain that under such system
iron ore producers must suffer. They
must bear the expense OF getting the ore
out and take all market risks. But
the fee owner always gets his royalty,
and il that stops he still has the ore.
The fee owner is apparently the most
expensive kind OF middle man"
Some means should be found oi either
disposing OF him or making him less
burdensome. Yet he has his argument
when pressed TO lessen his charges. lie
holds that the ore men have been cutting
each others throats in their eagerness to
make sales. and they only take advan-
tage OF the lower royalty in order that
they may undersell one another. There
may be a great deal OF truth IN this, yet
the TACT remains that the lee owners is u
lecch upon the trade. There arc indicu-
tions that the orc producers will not do
SO much cutting next season as they did
during the last one. but this, OF course.
will not render them more able to pay
the toll demanded by the fec owners

greensboro, KY, Dec. 2s.-Alfred
Holt, colored, alias Alexander. the muir
derer of Police officer w. A. White,
was taken from jail by mob at 2:SO
o'clock this morning and hanged to a
tree in the courthouse yard. This is
Kentucky's sixth lynching in as many
da-s.
About 2sO a. m. two men kicked at
the Jail doors and in response to a
question from Deputy Jailer John Ash
by, jr., who demanded who had
knocked, said they had a prisoner and
they wished to lock him UP for safe
keeping. Thus thrown off his guard,
young Ashby opened the door, only to
face two big revolvers. He was over
powered before he could utter a cry,
and the keys were taken from him. At
q signal from the two men 30 or 4U
others poured into the jail from the
darkness, proceeding UP stairs. Sew
eral of the mob held Jailer John Ash
by, ST., captive while two others
moved on to the cell where Holt and
the five others implicated with him
were asleep. They did not arouse from
their beds till the keys ratified in the
keyhole Then they pleaded for mercy
The leader said Holt was the guilty
man and he alone was wanted. Plead
ing for his life. Holt was taken from
the jail through the courthouse to the
east side, facing the Rudd House. He
was given ample time to pray, when a
rope was placed about his neck. In
ten minutes Holt had been strangled
to death. The mob was so quiet that
not over ten outsiders knew anything
of the lynching. Holt had only been
brought here a, few days ago from
Louisville, where he was taken for

UNION PACIFIC CHANGES.
To Be Made on the Mountain Divis-
ion Very Soon.
Especial to The Herald


Cheyenne, Wvo.. Dec. est is re-
ported here tonight that several
changes will be made in the manage
ment of the Montana division of the
Union Pacific the first of the year. The
report, which Superintendent L. Null
10y would neither deny nor affirm, is to
the effect that when the Short Line is
divorced from the Union Pacific, w. H.
Bancroft of Salt Lake will go with it.
W. A. Druel, division superintendent
of the Union Pacific, viii be general
superintendent OF the Mountain divis-
ion, with headquarters at Denver; SUI
perintendent MullOv. with his Office
force, will be moved to Ogden, and
trains on the Denver Pacific and fifth
district of the Union Pacific will be dis
patched from Cheyenne. The Dispatch
ers now at Laramie and those at Den
yer will be moved here. 1t is thought
the sixth district will be cut at Medi-
cine Bow and dispatchers at Green
River, who handle trains to Rawlins
only, will work as far east as Medicine
Bow. Prominent railroad men here
are of the opinion that Mr.. Druel will
make this city his headquarters, as he
formerly resided here, and it is thought
he can look after his division much
better from here than at Denver.

O'MALLEY INDICTED.
From the Twenty-third
Ward, Chicago, Charged With
Murder on Election Night in 1894

Chicago, Dec. 26.-As the result %
information gained recently by Police
Inspector Shack from two non-resi-
dent witnesses, the grand jury today
voted an indictment against Thomas
]. O'Malley. alderman from the TWEEN
ty-third ward, charging completely in
the murder of Gus COlliander, a sa-
loonkeeper and Twenty-third ward pol
itician, on election night, November
1894. Half a dozen members of the
notorious Market street Gang" have
been suspected by the police of this
cold-bloOded crime. John Bingham and
John Santry of the gang We're also in
dicted today on the same charge. Col
lander had received the nomination
for North Town collector, and entered
the polling place at 1T Oak street
ABOUT midnight to watch the count of
votes. Soon after his arrival a gang
of the Market street criminals broke
in the door and a bloody fight followed
Colliander was shot through the body
and head, dying in a few hours Po-
liceman Michaels, who was stationed
at the polling place, was seriously
wounded by a bullet.
Assistant State Attorney Pearson
who examined the witness, said the
testimony made out stronger case
against the alderman that against
Santry or Bingham 1t is alleged that
witness saw O'Malley with the other
men before the murder and scuffiing
in the crowd while the shooting was
in progress. The police have been
working very secretly for months on
new developments in the case and the
indictment of O'Malley came as a SEN
sational surprise as much in police
circles as among politicians at the
city hall. He has a plumbing estab-
lishment in his ward, was serving his
first term in the council, and has al
ways been regarded as a good citi-
zen.
After comforting with his attorney,
Alderman O'Malley surrendered to he
authorities at 1870 O'Clock this morning
He says he is innocent.

Character From Contact.

Presbyterian Journal: 1t is not true
that character is derived from contact
more than any other way? What makes
that girl so like her mother? Heredity.
do you say? Admit that there is truth
in the claim yet what is heredity but the
result of contact? You know how boy
is influenced by contact with another
boy and how a girl becomes like her as
sociates Now. the same rule holds true
concerning a book and reader. If the
book is d good one, the reader will be
benefited by contact with the characters
reflected from its pages; if it is a bad one.
he will be injured in the same way. But
if YOU are to derive good from reading,
YOU must ''go slow" You must stay long
enough with the characters to come into
close contact with them and feel the i'm
pact of their lives.
