ST. LOUIS STAR
LOSES ITS SUIT.
supreme Court OF Missouri Decides
That Associated Press Is Not
MONOPOLY.

ST. LOUIS. Dec 1s.--The supreme court
of Missouri, at Jefferson City this morn
Ing, handed down an opinion In the case
or the Star Publishing Company VS.. the
Associated Press of Illinois, deciding the
case In favor OF the Associated Press.
The Star company was engaged In pub
fishing an evening newspaper in st. Louis
known as 1.-The Star" and II brought suit
for a writ of mandamus to require the
Associated Press to serve Ii with the
evening news report on the same terms on
which service was being rendered to the
Post-Dispatch. which was a member OF
the Associated Press. The Star company
claimed that It was not able to secure
from any other source as satisfactory q
news report as was furnished by the As
ISOLATED Press. and that the agreement
of the Associated Press with the company
publishing the Post-Dispatch not to iur-
nish the report to any other paper was
illegal, and In violation OF the ANTITRUST
laws OF the United States, of the state
of Illinois and of the state OF Missouri.
The Associated Press answered that
while u was In form a corporation. 1t WAS
essentially a cooperative society. based
upon an agreement between its members
to gather and furnish news to each ther;
that 1t was not engaged in newsgathering
as n commercial enterprise. and that 1t
carried on Its business without any effort
at profit-making, 1t denied that its So
called exclusive contracts were in viola
ton OF the laws Of the United States, the
state of Illinois or the state of Missouri.
The opinion sustains the Associated
Press at every point. 1t holds that the
Associated Press Is not a monopoly. and
that IL does not violate the antitrust law
OF the state of Missouri Further than
this II could not go, holding that the
antitrust laws of the state of Illinois
were not In force outside of the state,
and that the antitrust law of the United
States was to be construed by and en-
forced In the courts of the United States.
The suit has been pending for a long
time, having been brought In December.
1897
The Star company took the testimony
of Melville Il. Stone, William M. Lafian
and other newspaper men, and men famil-
lar with the business OF news gathering,
and the case was tried entirely on the
testimony taken by IT,

they are uniformly used at every port In

The attorney general argued for a sharp
delineation between the rights OF the peo-

The last feature of the argument was
contention that the constitution does not

the bred Scott case, that the United
States could not acquire territory for any
other purpose than to convert II into

The doctrine announced in the bred

In case in Hagerstown wherein a
teacher was charged with assault up
on pupil the court found him not
guilty. In delivering the verdict
Chief Judge A. Hunter Boyd is re-
ported as saying that the only diff
Guilty which presented itself was that
during the whipping the teacher got
the boy down on the floor, put his
knee on his neck and flogged him.
Under ordinary circumstances, he said,
this might amount to assault, but
the testimony of the pupil himself
was that he was very obstinate, re.
fused to go up to his class and, per-
haps,a little more force was necessary
in this case, While the law gives the
the teacher the right to whip disobe.
dent pupils, it does not allow the
punishment to become an assault and
he said teachers should exercise the
privilege with great caution. He said
it was a delicate question to draw a
line as to when corporal punishment
is excessive, the presumption always
being that the teacher should use
only force enough to maintain disci-
pline in the school
The Frostburg Journal comment
ing on the case wisely says:
The Judges conclusion, entirely
just, might have been strengthened
by the statement that few, if any,
teachers willingly inflict chastisement,
and then only as a very last resort.
Again-the word, assault, - implies
an equality of situation, condition or
Personal which, it seems, if applica-
bic az Eli TO a case OF chastisement in
school, should count rather FOR than
against a teacher. The results of an
assault, growing out of cbastisement,
would indicate degree of resistance

so that it might turn out that a
teacher, stopping inside the ''line, :"
might become assailed and, with him,
down would go discipline"
These are instances, however where
IN the circumstances should largely
control conclusions.
But the JonrnGps long standing in
junction still remains good-that par
ents, for the good of their children,

long time before taking into court

FOUND DEAD IN THE ROAD.
"Uncle Joe" Moon, An Age and Respected
Citizen. Expires in the Public
inl

Friday afternoon last about
2 o'clock the lifeless body of Joseph
Moon, an old and very highly esteem
ed citizen of the Sunnyside com
munity, was found lying in the Oak
land and Aurora road about one mile
from his home. The deceased had
been at Mr.. William Whites on some
business and after eating his dinner
there started for home. He stopped
at Gortner's store at Sunnyside where
he purchased some goods and seemed
as lively and jovial as usual. After
leaving the store he was seen by some
young men who were engaged in
working along the roadside. Fifteen
or twenty minutes later his body was
discovered by mail carrier Love.
Apparently Mr. Moon was stricking
while riding in his wagon, drawn by
one horse, as his body was found
lying in the road close by the wheels
of the vehicle, the horse having
stopped when the body fell to the
ground.
A physician, who examined the
body, concluded that death was due
to heart trouble, with which Mr..
Moon had been sufferer for some
years. The deceased was about "A
years of age and leaves an invalid
son, two daughters, a brother and
two sisters to mourn his sudden
demise.
The funeral took place on Sunday
at noon, the interment being made
at the Red House, Rev. j. G. Bren-
ninger conducting the services. The
pail bearers were Messrs +. w. Welch,
Peter F. Nine, VIM. Hahn, RolIa

Mr.. Overstreet of Indiana, who had

the Cabinet-room, where he was join
ed by the President, who, after in
quiring if the bill had been compared
with care, affixed his signature to it.
At the same time he recalled to
those who stood by the fact that
many of the important financial bills,
which had been passed by Congress,
had been approved on the 18th of the
month. He spoke of the Sherman
act, the resumption act, and now the
bill which was before him.
In signing the bill, the President
used a new gold pen and holder, which
M. Overstreet had brought with him
for the purpose.

Public School Entertainment.

On the eve of the 9th of the present
month the Compton school gave an
entertainment at their school house,
which was, think, one of the most
successful ones of the kind | have
witnessed for some time. The pupils
are all quite young, this being the
first winter in school for some of them.
They all performed their parts with
out faltering or prompting, even to
the youngest. The exercises consisted
of readings, recitations, dialogues,
tableauX, instrumental and vocal
music. Miss Lottie Swauger, the
teacher, was assisted with her singing
by some of her young friends, of
whom we must make mention. Miss
Lizzie Meyers, soprano, Mr.. Charles
Meyers with his strong, we'll modula-
ted bass, were duly appreciated, while
the organette of Mr.. F. L. Otto was
enjoyed by the small folks, and the
violin played by Mr.. Hare gave
old and young amusement.
