bition of the statute which declares that
a control or combination in restraint of
trade or commerce between the states is
illegal. Competition between the merged
lines is, of course, extinguished- They
have the power to fix charges in such a
way as to restrain trade The attorney
general, when the question was referred
to him, advised the president that, in
his opinion, the law had been violated
1t then became inevitable that steps
should be taken to have the question
judicially determined. The bill in equi-
ty asks that the Northern Securities
company be dissolved, and the shares
OF the two railroad companies in it's
possession returned to their original
owners.
incidentally, the criticism that Presi-
dent Mckinley had appointed a cor
poration lawyer as attorney general
falls to the ground.

Founder of the Union stock::Yards at
Chicago.

Chicago. Feb. A.-John B. Sherman
founder of the Union stock yards and for
mer president of the Union stosk yards
and Transit company, died here today,
aged n years.
Mr.. Sherman retired from active partici-
patton in the management of the stock
yards two years. ago, after half a century
of work which had made him enc of the
west most prominent business men. Sew
eral days ago he was seized with a cold.
which last Sunday developed into the grip.
Owing to his advanced age the malady
fast assumed a serious phase.
Mr.. Sherman was born in the state of

years later he purchased the old Bull s
Head stock yard in Chicago. and later was

WANT KAY INSURANCE.
Children Are to Have So, 900
Question of a Guardian.

A controversy has arisen about the
guardianship of the two little children
of Mrs. Ellen Kay, who was murdered
by her husband, James Kay, February
9Th. Insurance to the amount of $4,000
is due the children, who were made
beneficiaries by their mother. sis
ter of the dead woman, Mrs. Ballew of
Oakland, wants to be appointed guard
ian of the children, and have some reli-
able business man named to take
charge of the money and keep it in
trust for them. E. A. Austin and Otis
Hungate, attorneys, have been retained
to represent her side of the case.
Henry T. Kay, father of James Kay.
the murderer, wants the custody of the
children, but the other side objects to
him on the grounds that he might upon
gettings possession of the insurance
money. use it in defending the man
who made his children motherless. Kay
senior is engineering his sons defense,
and the objection seems quite reason
able.

Good trade conditions" says Henry
Clews in his Weekly Financial Review,
ARE not confined to the iron and rail-
road Industries, for neither could sus-
tain the present rate of activity within
themselves. Trade and Industrial ex-
pansiOn continues unchecked; many new
enterprises are being Inaugural ted, and
production generally is having a hard
race to keep up with consumption. III
spite of our heavy production of steel,
importatiOns are being resumed on a
large scale, and railroads are often un-
able to handle the traffic thrust upon
them because they cannot secure new
equipment fast enough to meet their re-
quirements. No stronger evidence of
trade activity could be found than the
extraordinary pressure of freight upon
the railroads; and unless all indications
fail the outlook is for another season of
satisfactory spring trade"

THAT KLAUER VERDICT.
Now Claimed That It Was Irregular
and Not Good.

The verdict in the district court in
the case against George Klauer,
brought by Assistant Attorney General
Redden. is so irregular that the attor-
neys do not know whether Klauer will
have to go to jail or not
The verdict of the jury was that
Klauer was guilty of selling liquor on
- counts" and not guilty on
six and the jury disagreed on three
counts. Two long pen marks were
made where the counts that he was
found guilty on should have been writ
ten If the verdict is held to be good
and to find him guilty on two counts
Klauer's attorneys will take the case
to, the supreme court on the ground that
" hen a jury is to find answers to spe-
cial questions and fail to it is the same
as q verdict for the defendant.

JENNINGS TRIES 1T.

Observer T. b Jennings, section di-
rector of the United States weather bu-
reau for Kansas. is making a special
effort to distribute fcrcasts by the rural
free delivery route.
Already thousands of warnings are
sent daily to farmers on the rural de-
livery routes in all parts of Kansas
The daily forecasts are received at the
Topeka office and from there distribut-
ed by mail and telegraph to statisoas in
Kansas and from those stations the fore
casts are sent cut on the rural delivery
routes. Tie trouble with which the b0-
reau has to contend is that the mail

post offices so early in the morning
that the forecasts can not reach the
towns where the routes start from even

THE MERGER BEFORE THE Law
LFrom the n. Y. Times.1

[From the N. Y. Timesl
The financiers who have organized
the Northern Securities company should
welcome the decision of the attorney
general to bring them before the su-
preinc court of the United States for a
determination of the legality of their
action The stock market may be dis
turbed and the authors of this plan of
merger may be put to serious incon-
venience. but the public welfare, and
we think their own interest as well,
demand an adjudication of the scope of
the Sherman antitrust law
This administration and it's predeces-
sors have been reproached with a will
ingness to let the Sherman antitrust
act of 1880 remain dead letter. Prose-
cutiOns have not been undertaken when
they seemed to be called for. and it has
been said that when undertaken they
have been conducted in a half-hearted
manner. 1t is characteristic of Presi-
dent Roosevelt that he should refuse to
remain quiet under this imputation He
not only has a due regard for his own
reputation, but his mind and his con-
science are attentive to considerations
OF the interests of the people in what
ever way they may be threatened.

and own the shares of the Great North
