The Feeling Against the Trusts.
Daily States.
The general anxiety caused by
the strike IN the steel and iron trades
is bringing to the surface opposition
to the trusts of which heretofore
very little was known. The fears
of those who have noted the influ
ence of the great combines in poll
tics and their control of certain
governmental functions are being
set forth very clearly. The mer-
chants and manufa cturers who are
customers of the trusts have kept
their grievances to emselves, but
the grievances are real and
keenly felt that protests are being
heard in most unexpected quarters.
The impositlons and extortions
which these merchants and manu-
facturers have suffered have devel-
oped bitterness that is ominous
The chief complaint is that the
trusts, not satisfied with controlling
production, seek to control distri-
button. They insist in many cases
in fixing the prices at which distri-
butors shall sell, and in saying to
whom they shall or shall not sell,
and to all complaints of unfair treat
1ov
buyer of Indianapolis recently
stated in an interview with a home
paper that he never has any trouble
when he buys from an independent
producer, but that he is subjected
to many annoyances when he buys
from the trusts. In the latter case
he is not only not sure of getting
honest weight, but on the contrary
is reasonably sure of getting short
weight, and there is no redress.
The explanation is that there is no
individual responsibility. The man
in charge of the mill or the factory
is responsible to board in New
York and his only object is to make
as good showing as possible to the
millionaire directors of the trust.
His aim is not to please the Gus
toners, who are at his mercy, but
to earn dividends on the watered
stock of the trust.
AS a result Of the impositions and
extortions to which the merchants
and small manufacturers have been
subjected, their sympathy is with
the iron and steel workers in the
battle against the big steel trust.
and reports come from different
towns in Pennsylvania and Ohio to
the effect that they are aiding the
strikers by contributing to the strike
fund. This would indicate that the
great middle class of the country,
as we'll as labor, is arraying itself
against the gigantic industrial COM
blnes which crush competition by
controlling production and making
prices. 1t is very encouraging
symptom, because coalition of the
forces represented by the middle
class of our population and labor
| will result in the destruction of
trusts and the prote ctive tariff which
fosters them, and this means also
the downfall IF the Republican
party.

A Self-Locatinc FoChorp.

A fog signal which is self-locatine
was recently tested at Falkner Island
by the United States Lighthouse
Board. 1t consists of a siren driven
by gas engine. and provided with
eight megaphones pointing 20 the
points of the compass. Specific sig.
nails are automatically given through
each megaphone. For instance. If
there is one long blast the signal
is north OF the observer; one
long and one short blast in.
dicate that the signal Is directly
east. etc. 1t has been found that
when n vessel is within half a mile
of the apparatus the signal pointing
toward ii can be heard very plainly,
while the others are scarcely audible.
at distances OF from two to ten miles
IL is impossible to hear any signals
except those from the megaphone
pointed directly at the observer. A
modification OF the apparatus has been
perfected for use on board ship

Directly they found him whom they
| sought. young fellow standing by
the road bed In his shirt sleeves, un-
mindful OF the rain into which the
heavy mist had thickeDed. He was
bandaging with narrow strips that he
had cut from his coat an all but fatal
wound I'm the neck OF the big stallion,
whose proud head dropped by his
shoulder.
II was number Of days later, and
the men OF Pinerift lumber camp were
at dinner, when Dick Turner once
more went up the path that led past
the main shanty. He walked slowly
and with limp, for his leg had been
badly bruised during the scramble on
the bridge. Over his arm was the
bride OF the black horse, which also
walked with an unsteady, shufilng
gait-a gait that would, however, soon
regain it's former ease and vlgor.
The young fellow cast n half-ap-
prehenslve look at the camp az he
went by, and wondered If he were to
undergo more OF the old treatment.
He turned off at the little path that
led TO the rude shed In which Ugly
Mack was used 10 being isolated, but
stopped presently In quick surprise.
A clean, new stable stood In the place
OF the shed, and above its door were
the words, ugly Mack"
With a quick thrill OF appreciation,
young Turner led the horse into the
handsome stall and fed him sparipgly
from a generous supply Of corn thrown
up I'm one corner OF the building.
Coming out presently, he was sur
prised to find all the Plnerift men
awaiting him. He tried to thank
them, but Velvet Joe cut him short.
"We're glad II you like the hut,
young feller," he said, "and II It'll do
you any good TO know 1t, I'll tell you
now that there amt n man on this job
but what'll give his last dlme-yes,
and the last coat off his back If neces-
sary--to buy corn for that ugly critter
I'm yonder. And as for you, young
chap" the voice Of the big fellow
softened. "why-wcll, this crowd Is
goin' TO give kind Of n salute and
cheer for the bravest chap that every
struck Sinking River"
And by way Of salute" the big
lumbermen caught the young fellow
up, and on brawny arms and shoul-
dcrs carried him In triumph back to
camp. Big Joe swung his hat, and
the men sent out cheer that echoed
far up and down the river.
Camp Seven caught II, and Mt once

Fought Horse and Wildcats.

Fighting for her life with wildcats
and mounted on a runaway horse.
Mary Sumter, a pretty Bell County
Kentucky) girl. dashed past the little
country store on Taggett Creek. One
Of the cats had sunk it's teeth into the
horses neck, while the girl fought
madly with The other. A hundred
yards from the store the horse swerved
and fell. throwing the girl and the two
cats TO the earth. Half a dozen men,
who were loafing on the porch, rushed
to the girls assistance, and she was
borne into the house more dead than
alive.
The experience she will remember
to her dying day. A mile and a half
from the store the cats had sprung
upon the girls horse from an over
hanging tree. Fortunately only one
attacked her, the other digging its
teeth into the horse. She fought as
best she could while her frightened
steed ran madly down the road.
Her breast and her arms were ter.
ribly torn. and there are the marks
OF the claws In her right side and in
her neck. The scars she will carry
to her grave.
Physicians were summoned hastily,
but on account Of the distance were
late In arriving. The loss Of blood
was great. and the girl may not live.

LIVES WITHOUT A STOMACH.
Patient Eats Three Meals Day and
Gains Flesh.

Gains Flesh.
Carl Kruger, OF Chicago, the man
without stomach. Is doing better
than many men with stomachs. Mr..
Kruger's cancerous stomach was taken
out in an eighty -mlnCte surgical opera
tion on April 20, and since then his
health has improved steadily. From
ninety-siX pounds he has come to
weigh close to 1G0 and is still gain
ing
For long time after the opera
ton Mr.. Krugcrs board was nothing

ntlons furnished free of charge all he
could use Within four weeks after
the removal of the mans stomach he
was able 10 60 to work. He spends
much Of his tine working In his
garden. The other day he walked
three miles and felt no more exhausted
than the ordinary man.
Mr. Kruger said recently: For
long time before the operation | could
not sleep without dreaming and wax
ing at frequent intervals. Now as
soon as | lie down l fall asleep and
sleGn soundly. My food does not
trouble me. II is just a. IL the stomach
was there. First / had to eat every
two hours. for could eat only little
az time. so that had seven or eight
meals n day. Now l eat three meals
n day and at the usual times with my
family. For breakfast l drink coffee
and eat white bread and butter. My
noon and evening meal is about the
same. except that l sometimes eat
potato. At night sometimes drink
tea"
In commenting on the case Or.
Eads says: "Thc entire stomach was
removed and the duodenum attached
directly TO the aesophagus. That
Kruger's present diet agrees with him
there can be no doubt. IL is n strong
refutation of the old teaching of
psychology hat the stomach digests
one kind OF fool and the intestines
another. The case is also good or
