An attack was begun yesterday in
the United States circuit court upon
the American tobacco trust that may
result in breaking the hold which that
gigantic combination has upon the to-
bacco trade of the country and putting
an end to the game of freeze out"
which it has been playing against indie
pendent jobbers and retailers in all
parts of the country.
The tobacco trust is composed of
several branches. The American To-
bacco company aims to control the
smoking tobacco trade of the United
States, the American Cigar company
is seeking a dominant influence in the
cigar business, and the Continental To-
bacco company has well nigh gained a
monopoly of the manufacture and sale
Of plug tobacco throughout the coun-
try.
James B. Duke is president Of each
of these corporations, which are merely
different forms of the same organiza-
ton. The aims of the trust are well IN
derstood to be the absolute control and
monopoly of the trade, and it's methods
have been compared to those of the
Standard Oil company the beef trust
and other combinations in restraint Of
trade which are charged with the vio-
lation of the national and state enact
ments against trusts.
But while dealers in all parts of the
United States have felt the tyranny Of
the great tobacco combination none Of
them has hitherto had the courage to
enter the arena of the courts and do
battle with it for the right of unre-
Stricted trade

Thousands Await Outcome.

In determining the amount Of dam
ages demanded the methods Of the
defendant also come in for considera-
ton. It's practice is to sell to jobbers
at the retail price, allowing only 2
per cent discount for cash payment.
At the end of a four months period, the
time covered by the allotments, if the
jobber has purchased the full amount
allotted to him, he. receives a per
cent allowance This is his profit on
the transaction. The total possible
gain, amounting to 7 per cent, is the
measure of injury inflicted by the re-
fusal of SALE
The law fixes the penalty at thEce
this loss Mr.. Whitwell, having been
refused an allotment of $4,000 worth
of goods, has lost the profit Of per
cent on this amount, or $3.50. He there
fore sues for $S40 damages.
Success in this action means that it
would be followed by innumerable
similar suits in all parts of the coun-
try. Perhaps 100000 jobbers and deal
ers are suffering from the methods of
intimidation practiced by the trust, and
are only waiting a leader in order to
rebel against the vast game Of mon
opoly now being played by the Eastern
combination. If the action begun yes
terday is carried to Judgment for the
plaintiff, it will mean the overthrow OF
the system of business now maintain
ed. and compel the trust to sell to all
dealers on a substantially equal basis.

Is a ST. Paul David.

This task has at last been under
taken by ST. Paul jobber, Joseph P.
WhitWell In his complaint filed yes
terday in the federal court, Mr.. Whit
well demands damages from the Con-
tinental Tobacco company for a VIOLA
ton of the act Of congress, approved
July 2, $780, commonly called the Sher-
| man antitrust law. LAWYER & Arnold
are the plaintiffs attorneys.
The amount of the judgment de-
manded, $S40, is trifing in itself, but
the results Of the action, If successful,
would be to2,overthroW the attempted
monopoly of the trust and to COM
pei a complete revolution in Its method
of doing business. The complaint sets
forth the monopoliStic methods of the
company in contravention of the fed
eral statute. Briefly. stated, these form
an attempt to prevent to forbid any
dealer handling thesatrust,s products
from selling those of other manufac
turers by forcing him to enter into a
contract to that effect, and by con-
straining him to buy the largest pos
sible amount of trust'goods. So
The act mentioned forbids all dis
elimination in trade, and requires
manufacturers to afford equal terms to
all customers. A violation of these re-
quirements is punishable by a fine of
three times the amount of damages
sustained by the injured party The
ground upon which the plaintiff in the
action begun yesterday seeks damages
is the refusal Of the defendant to sell
him it's products on the same terms it
is giving to other jobbers. .
Mr.. Whitwell alleges that the COM
pany on May 1, 1902, declined to de-
liver plug tobacco to him unless he
should purchase $4,000 worth within a
period of four months 1t is alleged
that this refusal was in line with the
Illegal policy Of the company by which
it makes 'allotments" to. jobbers, seek
ing to force them to purchase, an
amount so large that it will be impos-
sible to handle the products of it's COM
petitors. The plaintiff demanded that
the company should sell him an allot-
ment of $4,000 worth of plug tobacco.
This was refused.

In Regard 70 Vaccination.

In spite of the fact that the weather
for the past two weeks has been most
favorable for a spread of small pox,
the disease appears to have been
checked, and in places most effected
no new cases have been reported.
This proper condition has been
brought about by the prompt action
of the Health Boards, in the various
towns, and vaccination. Inasmuch
as there has been considerable dis
cussion of late in regard to, efficacy OF
inoculation we herewith append the
opinion of doctor who has had a
wide experience with small pox.
at has long been IN established
fact that the only preventive of this
dread disease is vaccination, and as
vaccination is the only alternative the
public should be properly informed as
10 what constitutes safe and reliable
form of vaccine. Every one who per.
mts himself to be vaccinated should
have right to inquire into the purity
OF the virus scratched into his blood,
and in order that all may be able to
Judge for themselves we herewith draw
attention to the fact that glycerinated
lymph, which presents a thick, white
appearance, should be avoided. This
milky appearance in vaccine virus is
indicative of pus cells and may pro-
duce violent inflammation that will
lead the patient land frequently the
physlcian) to believe that the opera
ton is a successful one, while the
person may not be protected from
small pox IN the least.
"The very purest form of vaccine
is the unadulterated and clear lymph
dried upon ivory points. No cases OF
lock- aw have ever been reported to
have followed the use of dry ivory
points,
"It glycerinated vaccine is used
either in tubes or on ivory points, il
should be first examined closely and
if it shows this milky appearance ii
should not be used. Many cases Of
lock Jaw have been reported as having
followed the use of this material
which is advertised as pulp vaccine.
"Pure vaccine virus is of light
brown color and very clear. This
eau readily be distinguished from the
pulp material with the naked eye"
Much of the vaccine used is sup
piled by the extensive propagating
establishment of DR.. II. M. Alexande
& Co. at Marietta, this state. Thi
establishment is reported to be th'
largest and most complete of its kin'
in the world, and is open, so it i
said, to visitors at all times.

Threw an Indian Over His Head.
State Senator Cochran Was an Athlete In
His Youth.

The following story is related Of
State Senator ]. Henry Cochran, Of
Wiliamsport, who in his younger
days was an athlete of renown. Even
now it would not be entirely safe for
an Indian to tackle him unless The
warrior was in pretty good physical
shape.
When Senator Cochran was young
man he and his brother walked from
Maine to Pennsylvania and secured
places in lumber camp, where they
were soon among the best, and it was
not long before they were cutting tim
Der for themselves. In course OF
time Senator Cochran made a pur-
chase of large lumber area in one
of the Northwestern States, and went
out to look at his purchase. The
Indians of that section, while not hos
tile, were still not in love with the
white man, and when Senator Coch-
ran applied for shelter IN one of their
camps one evening they gave him
grudging consent. 1t was on one of
their feast days and they were cele-
brating 1t with games and trials of
skill, wrestling, etc.
One big buck had thrown every
man that tackled him in a wrestling
match and called out loudly for
another opponent. The chiefs looked
about them and sized up Senator
Cochran, at the time tall, well-built,
hardy specimen OF American man
hood, and decided that the white
stranger should tackle the red cham
pion. Mr.. Cochran at first demurred
and did not care to take part, which
was interpreted as fear on his part,
and there were insinuatlons from the
chiefs that he was afraid. He saw he
would either have to do something or
forever lose any hold he might have
In that section, so he stripped for the
fray, much to the delight of the In
dians who were of opinion that the
white man would go down in the
general wreck that the red champion
was strewing about him.
The white man and the red man
went together, felt warily over each
other Tor a good hold, when suddenly
the red man felt Cochrans grip on
him and then the astounded chiet,
tains were aware of their champion
sailing through the air over the white
mans head. Senator Cochran merely
caught him in the old waist hold,
turned him over and Tipped him into
the air as easily as he would novice,
and the Indian came down on his
head, fallen idol. From that time
there was nothing too good in the
Indian camps of the Northwest for J.
Henry Cochran and the red men gave
him the name OF the champion strong
man and wrestler. And to-day Sen
ator Cochran is as fine a specimen OF
man Sc years of age as there is in
Pennsylvania.
