LOOKING UP EVIDENCE

Although Attorney General GODDARD
has maintained a strict silence with
reference to his future intentions, there
are indications that he is making pre-
parations to descend upon the trusts in
this state at no very remote date.
In an interview published in the State
Journal Mr.. GODDARD declared, among
other things, that the trusts are menac-
ing the business interests of the country
and that if it was possible for him to
do SO, action would be taken against
them.
Just what direction Mr.. GODDARD will
proceed in is now a question. He may
take no steps towards prosecution be-
cause the evidence which he has gained
possession of up to this time, is not
of the character that would be useful
a basis for a suit and would, in his
opinion, have little if indeed any stand
ing in court.
From various parts of the state letters
have reached Mr.. GODDARD informing him
that the trust is doing SO and 50. This
so and so business Mr.. GODDARD says,
will not win law suits. Positive evil
dence of violations of the law are all
that we can base a proceeding upon
While the letters hint at dire conse
quences to business because of the
trusts not a word of specific information
has come to the attorney generals
office. The authors of the letters evade
the subject and only make suggestions.
Mr. Godard's attitude is one of opposi-
of convicting evidence, he says there
would be no delay in the organization
of the fight against them. In this posi-
ton Mr.. GODDARD has the support of the
whole administration, the governor be-
ing particularly vigorous in denuncia-
ton of this new method of controlling
the trade of the state. OF course the
organization represented by these trusts
would resist any effort to break the
combines down, but the sentiment of
the people is opposed to the whole
scheme. The time will probably come
when specific information concerning
these institutions will be furnished to
the attorney general at which time
there is doubt as to the policy he
will pursue. Some of Mr.. Godard's
friends claim that he is silent now be-
cause he is only waiting to secure addi-
tiOnal evidence upon which to base
suit against one of the combines in a
line of business which the consumer
would classify as staples" Mr.. GODDARD
declines to discuss the subject at this
time. He hopes, however, to have some
thing to say and do later on.

THEY SCARE HORSES.
Automobiles Excluded From the Chi
cago Boulevards.

Chicago, June 15.-The South Side
park commissioners issued an order to-
day excluding from the driveways and
boulevards all vehicles propelled by
electricity This rule applies to pleas
ure automobiles as well as those used
by merca ntile concerns.
The main reason for the action of the
commission was the alleged effect upon
the horses, the animals, it is claimed,
becoming frightened at the sight of the
automobiles and threatening the lives
of the occupants of other carriages as
well as pedestrians and cyclists
On the south side the number of the
automobiles runs into the hundreds and
the owners are making vigorous objec-
lions to giving up the paStime.

RASPBERRIES INLOADS.
New Albany Preparing to Supply the
Chicago Market

New Albany, Ind. June 1.-THE straw
berry shipping season here is about over.
The price has dropped SO low. that grow
ers have ceased to pick and thousands of
gallons are going to waste in the fields.
It is estimated that 100000 gallons of
strawberries were shipped from this point
this season. The average price was 20
cents gallon, and the growers received
about 500 900 for the crop. Fifteen years
ago the hills around this city were barren
wastes and the land was almost worthless,
but land has become valuable since the
culture of small fruit became the leading
industry.
With favorable weather the shipment of
raSp berries will be commenced in few
days and many carloads will be shipped
during the next two or three weeks. Chi
cagO is the principal market. The berries
are loaded in express cars holding 600
crates each, and a train of from five to
nfteen cars leaves here at 9 o'clock every
night 1t runs on lightning express time,
having right of way over all other trains,
and reaches Chicago in nine hours, in
time for the early morning market Large
numbers of berry pickers are employed
In this section. They are brought here
from the surrounding country for a hun
dred miles Whole families in many in
stances camp in tents around the berry
farms.

Gen. Anderson Says Insurgent Can

Chicago, June 15.-According to Gen.
Anderson, the heavy losses of the Amer1-

the Fflipinos at Las Pinas and Bacoor
south of Manila, were caused by the can

Aguinaldo last winter The batteries in

have been released by Aguinaldo with the
understanding that they enlist in the in

Gen Anderson took the first detach-

summer and was a prominent figure in
the first negotiations between this coun-

LETTER TO MRS. PINKHAN NO. I2,7351
81 am very grateful to you for your
kindness and the interest you have
taken in me, and truly believe your
medicines and advice are worth more
to a woman than all the doctors in the
world. For years 1 had female troubles
and did nothing for them. OF course
l became no better and finally broke
down entirely. My troubles began
with Inflammation and hemorrhages
from the kidneys, then Inflammation,
congestion and falling of the womb
and Inflammation of ovaries.
81 underwent local treatment every
day for some time; then after nearly
two months the doctor gave me permits
sion to go back to work. 1 went back,
but in less than a week was COM
PEELED to give up and go to bed. On
breaking down the second time, de-
cided to let doctors and their medicine
alone and try your remedies. Before
the first bottle was gone felt the eff
fects of it. Three bottles of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
package of her Sanative Wash did me
more good than all the doctors treat
ments and medicine.

SEARCH FOR DIAMONDS.
Biologists Hope to Be Able to Discov-

Milwaukee, June 15.-Prof. w. H. Hobbs
of the University of Wisconsin, assisted
by q. score of biologists throughout the
great lake regions, have begun survey
of the gravel ridges in Ohio, Wisconsin,
Pennsylvania. New York, Minnesota and
Michigan with the view of locating the
origin of diamonds that have been found
in various parts of the country from time
to time.
Prof. Hobbs believes that the diamonds
come from some place in Canada, and
considers it possible that the survey may
help to locate that place. They were, he
believes, brought down by the glaciers,
and by tracing them back their birthplace
may be found.
Seventeen genuine diamonds have been
found along these gravel ridges in lake
regions. The investigation will be made
