warrant charging him with stealing iron
castings from Oliver Russell and Thomas
williams, brought to recollection the killing
of his brother, Edward Carroll, by John
Griffin, his stepbrother, on Fayette street,
a year ago.
Carroll and one of his brothers said last
night that Griffin and his pals had con-
spired to get him into trouble with the po-
lice. A gang, Carroll claimed, of Grifin's
friends was arrested some time ago on the
charge of stealing iron castings, and was
discharged in Police Court. Being sore"
at Carroll, they threw suspicion on him,
which led to his arrest, he said. Griffin
was not prosecuted for killing Carroll, the
grand jury failing to indict him.

TO GUST A TRUST.
OhiO's Attorney General Files Suit
Against the Biscuit Company.

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 3.-Attorney Gem
eral Monnett to-day filed in the Ohio SUI
preme Court petition to GUST the National
Biscuit Company from doing business as a
trust in this State. The petition has been in
readiness for several days awaiting favor
able opportunity for filing. The suit is in
line with the attorney generals policy OF
fighting trusts in Ohio. The petition filed re-
lates that complaint that has been made to
him by wholesale grocers regarding the
methods of the trust, which he holds is con-
trary to the antitrust law passed by the
State Legislature. 1t is claimed that other
grocers are forced to pay the exorbitant
quotations demanded. AS an Illustration, ie
is said that the price charged for crackers
is equal TO that of a bushel Of wheat The
attorney general claims that the biscuit
company is capitalized for $55,000000, but
only has 5,000,000 in the business.

1t has long been the wonder of politicians
Of other States as to how Indiana can send
men to Washington who suddenly leap into
national prominence, but there is hint to
Indiana's thorough method of training poll
ticians in the vigorous campaigning of the
small boys who desire to be pages. One Of
them became SO interested in his race that
he personally visited the Journal Office and
asked that his candidacy be given due
prominence, and hence it is announced that
Sidney Selig, of 905 North Capitol avenue,
is a candidate for the position of page of
the Senate. The methods of campaigning
adopted by these youthful aspirants and
their activity can produce nothing hut ex-
pert politicians in the years to come.

EpHRIAM BEEroH DEAD.

The people of this community were
grieved to learn that Ephriam Beeton
departed this life at his home at Zuia,
Oklahoma on March ]. 1899 Mr.. Beeton
was an old resident Of Barber county,
having been an early settler. He re-
moved to Oklahoma in the spring of
1894 and resided there until his death.
Ephrlam Beeton was a man whose
force of character and disposition will
live forever in the memory of those who
knew him best. AS citizen of Barber
county he was always known as an hon.
est, worthy, upright. and industrious
man who held the highest respect and
greatest confidence of his neighbors
and friends. and that he was held in
similar esteem by those among he asso-
Grated during the past five years is DEM
onstrated from the fact that his funer-
al was more largely attended than any
that has ever occurred previously in the
vicinity in which he lived and died.
Did this good, grand old man live in
vain? All, no. The greatest success
known to mankind is that of winning
and holding the confidence and good will
of society, and at last when the light of
life is extinguished. to live on and on
in the memory of those who mourn.
Such was the life of Uncle Ephriam
when his Maker called him hence.
