burton, the shorthorn breeding farm of W.
t. Miller & Son. six miles south of this
city. one of the greatest sales of thorough
bred shorthorn cattle ever made in the
State was held. Bidders were present from
Ohio. Kentucky. Indiana, Illinois, Michi-
gan and Iowa. The sale was Of thirty ami
mails belonging to the herd of Miller G. Son.
besides several belonging to others. The
average price brought by Milier's cattle
was S2S.5o. The minimum price brought by
any animal was 500, while Modesty, a
three-year-old heifer, sired by Royal Hero,
No. 1851, the male progenitor of the herd.
went TO Quick & Son, of Columbus, Ind,
for $So5. After making this sale Messrs.
Miller & Son still have left their celebrated
herd, for some of which they have refused
fancy prices, $1,000 for Royal Hero alone
being no temptation. Royal Hero has never
been defeated in the prize ring in exhibit
tons at over twenty state, circuit and coun-
ty fairs. Mr.. w. T. Miller has been a breed
er of fine shorthorn cattle for twenty years.
He began with Imp. Gem Duchess, White
Rose, Young Mary and other good strains,

Company Says the Ohio Act
Is unconstitutional.

COLUMBUS. o., June 1.-the constitu-
tionality OF the Ohio antitrust law is to be
tested in the Federal Court. A demurrer
was filed to-day in the United States Court
here by the attorneys for the Cleveland
and Sandusky Brewing Company to the pc
tition Of the attorney general TO GUST the
company from its charter for alleged viola
ton Of the antitrust law passed April 19,
1898. The demurrer sets forth that the law
conflicts with the Constitution of the United
States in the following: 1T makes crimina
al association of citizens for business pur-
poses. 1t denies to citizens the right of or
binary business association as partners. 1t
make impossible without violation of the act
the transaction of business by any associa-
ton of two or more individuals. 1t de-
prives citizens Of the right of contract. Such
action is. we submit. beyond the power Of
the Legislature, as it contravenes the four
teenth amendment of the Constitution in
that IL is a law which abridges the privi-
leges and immunities of citizens of the
United States and takes from them proper
ty without due process OF law" The de-
murrer also sets up as a defense that the
law became effective on July !. 1898. after
the defendant corporation was completed.

that Tierney was going TO the reunion in

TO a frown, and then he'd say. ''Tierney,
I'm sorry TO say 1T, but you can't come
in here, for you've gone back on your
colors." Then I'd turn away and go to the
other place, and the first one TO meet me
would be Jubal Early. Well. as soon as he

action of Sheriff Hathaway, De Kalb county

Monday night for his treatment of two lit
tie daughters Of James Smith. still per-
mitted to live. The rumor that the brutal
assaults by Helms on the two Garrett chill
dren would be avenged were confirmed last
night when. at midnight, three hundred citi-
zens of that place marched to Auburn, a
distance OF four miles, for the avowed pur-
pose TO take Helms from Jail and hang him.
Secret information had reached the sheriff,
who spirited his prisoner to an unknown
place for the night. The mob was quiet but
determined and its leaders marched straight
to the Jail and demanded admittance. They
were informed their victim was not there,
but refused to believe 1t. and Mrs. Hatha-
way threw open the doors and allowed the
leaders to search. There was great disap-
pointment at not finding the prisoner and
they reluctantly left, warning the sheriff
they would get Helms sooner or later. The
condition of the two girls is serious. One is
lying at the point Of death. and not dead.
as first reported. but should she die the
Garrett mob would not rest until Helms be
strung up. The sheriff is still keeping Helms
in hiding, the whereabouts not being known
to any but the special guard. The situation
tonight is again alarming. Citizens are
restless. fearing an attack of the mob at
any moment. The leaders in the mob last
night were w~ell-known citizens.

view lOIk fOSI.
If there is any man in the world who
deserves to be pitied, it is Admiral Dewey.
A modest gentleman and a discreet officer,
keenly sensitive to the proprieties alike OF
private and official life, an xempla OF
r~eticence except when duty requires speech,
he is represented in the press as talking
volubly TO every chance caller, often in a
vain-glorious fashion,; and his name is used,
without his knowledge or consent. by a host
of people who are seeking to advertise
themselves by promoting movements Tor
monuments and funds of one sort and an
other In his honor. The family and friends
of the victim regard with amazed contempt
the extraordinary stuff which reckless and
lcredulous newspapers put in his mouth. and
the equally extraordinary assurance with
which other newspapers attempt to settle
In advance the place and style of his resi-
dence upon his return to this country. The
Vermont press neatly punctures one Of the
alleged interviews with the admiral by
showing that its inventor know nothing
about the facts in the matter. He repre-
sented Dewey as saying that what he
should like best Of all would be a monu-
ment In the Statehouse grounds at Mont
pelier, like the one of Ethan Allen which
he used TO see there when ne was a boy,
and the inscription upon which he was rep
resented as q~uoting-whereas the truth is
that this monument was not erected until
after Dewey's boyhood was over. and there
was never any inscription upon it!

UncOnfrmed Story.
Washington Special.

An unconirmed story was given currency
to-day that some unnamed friend of Ad-
miral Dewey had learned that the admiral
would not accept the home fund" being
raised for him by popular subscription, but
that at the proper time he would ask that
the money raised be applied TO the building
of a national home for the linen behind the
guns" to be known as the Dewey Home
The idea which thus nobly inspires the ad-
that he is already sufficiently recognized in
a money way by his government, but that
he would be greatly pleased If he could in
the manner suggested divert the cash con-
tributions being offered by grateful admirers
so as not to give offense. The story is in
genious and plausible, but entirely lacks
authoritative yerifcation.
