HIS EYE TAKEN OUT.
Result Of Peculiar Accident to
j. A. White at Lake View.

j. A. White, the night station agent
at Lake View had one of his eyes re-
moved by DR.. ]. E. Minney at the Santa
Fee hospital Wednesday. as a result of
one of the most peculiar accidents
ever recorded.
On Jan. %, at about IL o'clock at
night, Mr.. White was standing in the
station house at Lake View when a
Santa F'e train Numbered past. On the
front of the train was one of the pow
erful rotary snow p1ows. 1t struck a
drift in front of the station, and hurled
a great mass of snow against the sta
ton house window. Four panes of glass
in the window were broken, and d
large piece of the broken glass struck
Mr.. White in the eye, slicing the eye
ball open. Since then Mr.. White has
been under treatment at the hospital,
but it was impossible to save the eye.
1t was therefore removed as stated

House Yard.

Nicholasville, KY, Feb. 6.-The negro
who assaulted Miss Della Powell yester-
day was taken from the officers this af-
ternoon and Iynched. Intense excite
ment prevailed all last night and the
mob made repeated attempts to get the
negro but were baff1ed. This morning
County Attorney Mitchell, Sheriff Chris
man and Deputy Scott removed the ne
gro from Jail to take him to Miss Pow
ellis home for identification. Over 200
men surrounded the Jail, but attempted
no violence when the officers promised
not to take the prisoner to Lexington.
About 100 men accompanied the officers
and prisoner. Notable among them was
William Powell, brother of the girl arm
ed with a double barrelled shotgun. At
ter the negro had been fully identified
and as the officers were taking him
back to the jail the mob seized and
1vnched him in the court house yard be-
fore the officers could get into the Jail.

PUFF FOR FRANK WEAR.
Arkansas Paper Says He Has Given
Them g Railroad.

"The Waldron Reporter" published at
Waldron, the county seat of Scott coun-
ty, Arkansas, this week comes out with
f1aring headlines in announcing the
completion of the Arkansas Western
railroad to that town. Col. c. C God<
man is president of the road and f. E.
Wear of the Wear Coal company is vice
president. Underneath two growing
ROSTERS, the Reporter prints: "Hurrah
for Goldman" and "Hurrah for Wear ="
The road was completed to Waldron
on Friday, January "a, and it connects
Wa1dron with Havener. 35 miles distant
on the Kansas City, Pfttsburg & Gulf
The railroad win give an outlet for coal
from 12-foot vein said to be as good
as any in the world of its kind.
Saturday night the railway men were
given a banquet by the citizens of
Waldron. The Reporter says: THE Re-
porter congratulates the Arkansas West
ern and the people of Scott county in Sc
curing the financial assistance of such
high-minded and honorable man as
Mr. Frank E. Wear of Kansas City,
who is first vice president of the Arkan
sas Western Railroad company. He is
a gentleman of great wealth and stands
high in the business circles in Kansas
City, Topeka and Chicago, and, wherever
he is known, his name is a synonym of
honesty and fair dealing. He has made
several trips to this county and mingleS
freely with the people. As a business
man he expects to make money for him
self, but he has a sincere desire to see
the resources of Scott county developed
to the benefit of capital and labor
alike"

gains. out of the consumer by arbitrary
increase in the price he is compelled to
pay. The community in which the dis
used plant is located suffers and is af-
fronted- 1t is held up by the political
physician as a mournftil example of the
tyranny of trusts, but the whole body
of consumers is benefited by the greater
economy of production and the capital
invested gets more certain return.
1t is of interest to recall the fact that
this law operated in cheapening railroad
freights and fares. When trunk lines
were unknown and systems were not
dreamed of, a multitude of small cor
porations owned the roads of the coun-
try. Though several links were pro-
jected in the same direction, there was
no through check or ticket. There was
no law to compel one link to receive and
transport the freight cars of another.
Each link had it's separate operating
and administrative organization Soon
the law compelled them In haul the
freight cars for one another, and thus
they were taught combination. The links
were absorbed into trunk lines, the
through check and ticket appeared, a
standard gauge for tracks was enforced,
and the separate operating and admin
istrative organizations disappeared and
were combined in one. 1t all meant
economy in operation, the rendering of
a better service at less cost. and the
economy was carried forward into lower
rates for the benefit OF the shipper.
Yet. this was combination. 1t implied
greater power. But its liability to abuse
was followed by every legal restraint
necessary to preserve its power for good
and to destroy its power for harm.
1t is not without interest to recall that
this economizing combination was fol-
lowed by appeals to popular prejudice
and fear. and was made the subject of
woeful prophecies, now ami recently
current, concerning the projection Of the
same system into the Industrial mechan-
ism of the country. Yet it proved the
beginning and the cause Of cheaper
rates. If shippers were compelled to reS
turn to the methods and the rates of the
roads of forty years ago the value of
commerce would be exhausted in the
cost of its transportation. Are the
prophecies of evil any more valid now
than then? We will see.

ABOUT TRUSTS. II.

As business corporations developed
and multiplied, the number of alarm
lists who were able to foretell the evil
they would do kept pace with their in

who philosophically appreciated the
power of organization and who knew the
liability of power to abuse, followed with
the restraining influence of the law.
Since the rise of that form of indus
trial combination called the trust, this
history has been repeated. The country
is Gull of political physicians who can
diagnose the disease. but their prescrip-
ton of remedies is either wanting alto

Every recent campaign has been vocal
with denunciatiOn of the trusts. The vo-

tapped and run dry in such discussion

information have the people received
from this aff1uent source.

for natural reason for what is. He is
aware that in all the myriad complexi-

Metaux," proceeded in disregard of nat
ural law. He combined all the copper
properties in the world that produced
down to a certain minimum of pure
metal from their ores. He then arbi-
trarily and artificially put up the price
of copper, disregarding the supply and
demand. Unwittingly he advanced it to
q point at which it paid to work the
outside properties that were below his
minimum. Before he was aware of it
these properties had nearly as much
copper on the market as the trust and
were getting its price. His combination
was broken and. appalled, by his mis-
take, he committed suicide.
Here was the working of a natural

ton lies in its capacity to economize
production. In certain lines mills and
manufacturers are built at disadvan-
tageous points. to which the raw mater

is expensive. But their projectors are
lured to mislocate their plants by local
subsidies, exemption from taxation, and
other inducements. If the line to which
such plants belong is combined in
trust, they are shut down, because their
production is not economical. They are
worked against the natural law of pro
6uction and exchange. The production
is economical by combining it to plants ]
that have the least expensive access to
raw material and the cheapest means of
distribution. This economy is the profit

An Ideal
Medicine.
A New Discovery Which Cures afl
Forms of Catarrh.

The tablet is the ideal form in which to
administer medicine, but until recently no
successful eatarrh tablet had ever been at
tempted There is now, however. an ex-
cellent and palatable remedy for catarrh
in tablet form, known as Stuarts Catarrh
Tablets and sold by druggists, composed
of the most recent discoveries in medi cine
for cure of catarrh and results from their
use have been highly gratifying.
The old time treatment of catarrh was
in the form of inhalers, washes, douches,
sprays. etc. Later on internal remedies
were used with greater success, but being
in liquid or powder form were inconvenient
to use, and like all medicines in liquid or
powder form, lose their medicinal proper
ties when opened or exposed to the air.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain highly
concentrated antiseptics, Red Gum, Blood
Root, etc, which kill the catarrh germs in
the blood and mucous membrane. and in
this respect are strictly scientific and mod
ern. because all authorities are now agreed
that catarrh is a constitutional blood dis
ease and local applications can have only
a transitory effect.
The use of inhalers, douches and sprays
is a nuisance and inconvenience and can in
no wise compare favorably with the same
antiseptics given in tablet form internal
w where they can reach the stomach and
blood and kill catarh germs right where
they are produced.

WEST GAYS DOWN LAW"
What Is Duty of County Attorney in
Joint Cases.


II had an inquiry today said Judge
West, assistant attorney general, as he
was signing a bunch of letters, that
made me lose patience-not at the wr1-
ter, but at the attorneys or whoever it
is that puts up the talk that it is nee
criminal action to put up bond for
costs before the complaint Is acted
upon"
The inquiry was from a woman who
wanted to know the duty of a county
attorney when he was furnished with
information for the conviction of joint
lists and gamblers. She also wanted to
know If she had to put up a bond for
costs in the action, as she had been in
formed. Here is what Judge West wrote
to her:
so far as the violation of the pro-
hibitory law is concerned If he (the
county attorney is furnished COM
plant and list of witnesses by whom
the offense can be proven, it is his duty
to proceed and prosecute. It is not fair
that officers should require the women
of their cities to visit the gambling dens
and secure testimony, and / think 1t
will be easy by a little organization to
bring such pressure of public opinion
upon them, and especially on the coun-
ty attorney and city attorney, that they
will feel it best to take some action
THE idea of requiring any prosecut-
ing witness to put up money Tor costs
for suit is utterly ridiculous, and you
are at perfect liberty to tell any officer
that 1 say so. This is a ridiculous and
childish bluff that has been used until
it has become exceedingly tedious and
tiresome, and you are at perfect liberty
to quote me as saying so as publicly as
possible. Any lawyer and officer of any
sense ought to know that public prose
buttons are brought by and on behalf of
the state or city, as the case may be,
and that the state or city is the plaintiff
in the case, and not the individual who
happens to swear to a complaint"

WILL BE TURNED DOWN
Santa Fe Won't Grant More Pay
to Trainmen.

1t is reported on good authority that
the Santa Fe officials will refuse the
demand of the grievance committees
representing the trainmen and conduc-
tors, for an increase in the pay.
The officials held another conference
with the men this morning, although
Third Vice President Kendrick returned
to Chicago on No. Wednesday after
noon and General Superintendent Hur-
ley has gone back to La Junta- The
fact that Mr.. Kendrick has gone indi
Gates clearly that the BUSINESS of the
conference is practically ended. Mat
tiers which are now being taken up be-
tween the officials and the men arc
merely special cases requiring iniivid-
ual treatment.
When asked today whether the re-
suit of the conference is ready to- be
made public, General Manager H. u.
Nudge said: There is nothing to give
out now. We will have another con-
ference with the men before anything
will be ready to make public
The time for the next conference with
the committees has not been fixed, but
will likely be within a few DAYS.

OBJECT TODOUBLING UP
Cand idates Once Nominated
Want No Primary.

The candidates who were nominated
at the Republican primaries last fail
have filed a document with County
Clerk John NJ Wright signed by As
members of the Republican county CEN
trail committee to the effect that a
primary was held last fall and that
they were regularly nominated. De-
feated candidates will have another
chance if a new primary is held.
The document is signed and sworn to
by the members of the old committee
which had charge of the primaries. The
biennial election law left the candidates
who were nominated uncertain as to
whether they should be called the nom
inees or would have to run at the prim-
aries again this spring They do not
wish to have another contest but desire
that the new committee recognize them
as the nominees. AS there was some
doubt whether the nominations had
been certified in proper form the docu-
ment was prepared Those who were
nominated last fall are A. T. Lucas for
sheriff. Frank c. Bowen for treasurer.
A Newman for county clerk, DR.. H B.
Hogeboom for coroner, ]. B. Marshall
for register of deeds, J. p. Rodgers for
county surveyor.

DR.. JUDD IN A RAGE.
He Doesn't Like Showing Made
by His Department,

You're a dirty, contemplate cur!
You're a sneak and a liar! It's all a lie!
Why don't you print the truth about
me?"
Very much excited, very white in the
face, and probably somewhat beside
himself with impotent rage, DIR. Corban
E. Judd, the city physician Of Topeka
addressed the above complimentary re-
mark to reporter for the State Jour
nal this morning. What the reply was
to DR.. Corban E. judas courteous al
legation is not part of this story. which
is being drawn up for the express pur-
pose of making some 'correctlonS when
DR.. Judd demands on the article printed
Wednesday concerning the financial ex-
travagance of the board of health.
The State Journal stated wednesday
that the present city physician had con-
Quoted the health department of the
city at an expense of $2,64S.Sl greater
than it was conducted during the same
period of time in the previous admins
tration.
AS a matter of fact, the extravaganza
of the Judd administration amounted 20
$2.90520 instead Of $2.64S.31
This is the correction which DR.. Judd
demands and it is cheerfully made.
To be specific, Dr. Judd claims that
the article concerning his department In
Wednesdays State Journal did him an
injustice because the February, 1907, re-
port of his department should be incluo-
ed in the summary instead of the June,
1901 report 1t was in June that Dr.
Judd took office, and the report for June
as filed in the city clerks office refers
to May bills. The February report
therefore refers to January bills. The
February, 1902, report for the depart
ment is not yet compiled by the city
clerk, but DR.. Judd himself says that
the amount is 1914 and some odd cents.
This is $15941 more than for the month
of February a year ago.
So here is the comparison of the Judd
and Hogeboom administrations, made
according to the Correction demanded
nv DR. Judd:
