of Paul Leicester Ford occurred in
the library of Mr.. Ford's home, at

was sitting at a table when his

is said to have demanded money,
which was refused. The bullet which
killed Paul entered his left breast,
piercing his heart. Malcolm then
shot himself. The bullet entered his

that caused the death of Paul. No
one was in the room when the shots
were fired.

CIGARETTES BARRED
Northwestern Academy Students
Warned by Head of School.
Low Record of Those Who Smoke
oompeIs Action i'm Interest of
Boys Students Must stop
Smoking or Quit the school.

Students in the preparatory depart
ment of Northwestern university at
Evanston, ILL.,, are invited to either
stop smoking cigarettes or leave the
school. There is no uncertainty about
the invitation and so thoroughly has
il been considered that arrangements
have been made to pay back to those
who choose the way of the paper pipe
the money that they have paid as ad-
vance tuition.
The matter was very clearly laid be-
fore the students the other morning
at the academy chapel exercises by
Herbert f. Fisk, professor of peda'
gogy and principal of the preparatory
department.
81 have made an arrangement by
which your money will be refunded,
said Prof. Fisk. "We do not want yor
as students If you insist upon smoking
cigarettes. Some of the failures II
the recent semester examinations ar,
directly traceable to cigarette smok
ing and one young man has been brav,
enough to tell me personally that h,
failed because of his excessive use OF
cigarettes"
These startling declarations by
Prof. Fisk caused great uneasines'
among the 800 boys at the chapel serv
ices and the girls and young womer
looked first at the principal of tn,
academy and then at the other side q
the room. where the boys were seated

Prof. Fisk, "told me that the major

that he is mistaken. Some of you dc

at is matter of record that fou,

students fail sooner or later. Nearl,
all of the boys who failed in tn,

cites. This should be evidenc,
enough to induce any boy who will
consider the matter To quit at once

clans that smoking of any kind is in

"We are willing to help any DO,

SEIZE THE MEAT
OF BEEF TRUST.
Step Contemplated by the
Federal Authorities.
PROGRAMME OF e0NFlSGATI0N


Chicago, May S.-Immediate re-
quest for a temporary restraining
bill and the possibility that the gov
eminent may ask that goods under
shipment be confiscated is the pro-
gramme to be followed by the federal
authorities in their assault upon the
beef packers. A semi-ofiicial state
ment was made by the officers of the
United States to-day that the bill will
likely be filed very early Friday. The
confiscation clause which it is limited
has been Incorporated in the bill
grows out OF the mysterious relation
existing between the packers and the
railways and the intimation that the
attorney-general proposes to force
the issue of the con tiscation clause OF
the Sherman antitrust act has caus-
ed alarm among the packers.
United States attorney Betha re-
turned from Washington to-day,
having left there yesterday after sew,
eral consultations with attorney
general Knox. He declined to say
what changes had been incorporated
in the bill as originally prepared in
Chicago and automatically evaded
qleries as to responsibilities of Grim
inal prosecutions growing out OF the
fling of the Injunction against the
alleged beef trust. Aside from ad-
mitting that the bill was being print
ed in Washington to-day, Mr.. Betha
Was noncommunicative.
He came home doubly impressed
with the worth of Mr., Knox as IA
lawyer and stated that he had been
most thorough in seeing that the
charges in the bill against the pack.
efs Al4tasta He lleep+ofes and WITS strong
in every detail. 1t was learned that
the charges are based on evidence
secured from all parts Of the Ameri-
can continent.
The admission that the govern
ment would demand an immediate
injunction to stop the alleged re-
straint of the trade by the socalled
meat combine is considered to mean
that the packers are going to be
given the fight for their lives
The motive of the railroads il
boosting rates ut this time, accord
ing to an expert, is that they want
to give sudden air of being honest
to offset the talk that they have beer
guilty Of paying rebates to the pack
rs and conuiving with them to helI
their profits because of large shil
ments as against the little shipper
They also saw, according to tht
same authority a chance to increase
dividends and let the packers get trt
blame for it and they were not SLOW
to grasp the opportunity, Facing
annoyance and possible trouble from
the bill to be fined against the pack
ers and also facing an interstate
hearing next week in which they vii
have to explain why they favored

Ladies-You want to be up to
date in every way, Cali and see
the latest styles in engraved calling
cards. invitations, ETC., at my resi-
dence. Mabel l.. Payne,
At meeting of the American
Historical Society in Washington,
last week, the names Of Dewey and
Schley were greeted with enthuai-
astic applause, but the name of Ad-
miral Sampson was received with
profound silence.
The lack of interest in the lodge
can often be attributed to the half
hearted way in which the meetings
are conducted, remarks the Pythian
World. We have visited lodge
rooms in which the very air seemed
to be laden with non-interest, and
yet on every hand could be heard
the cry of non-attendance." In
many instances, we were little sur
prised that the attendance was
small Ever move of the officers
indicated that their respective du-
ties We're a burden. The officers did
not think it worth while to commit
their respective parts to memory
a thing which ought to be done by
every official Of any lodge. The
opening and closing ceremonies are
beautiful and impressive, if rightly
conducted, but disgusting and tire
some when bungled and butchered
up. That which is worth doing at
all is worth doing well. When your
brothers honor you by eleeting you
to office in the lodge, don't you
think that it is your duty to fill
that office to the best of your abil-
ity? Can you conscienciously pass
through the chairs OF the order aud
carry off the honors without win
ming them? Do your duty as an
officer of your lodge and the non
attendance problem will have been
solved And the above remarks
apply to other than Pythian lodges.
