TOUGH PROPOSITION
Standard OIL company's Attor-
ney Called TO Assist Sheets
In Fight Against the
Willis Bill.
tFrom a Stan Correspondent, !,

Columbus, June when Attorney
General Sheets starts out to do any
thing he always makes 1t strong.
There isn't much need of counsel In
the case to test the validity of the
Willis law. for, as has been suggested
heretofore, nobody on the inside here
expects 1t to be, interfered with. But
a decision must be had and 1t will
be had speedily. 1t will reach the
court by a subterfuge, but the deci-
sion will be just as effective. Attor-
ney General Sheets, to make a show
ing that there is terrific encounter
at hand, will have that great friend
of the people, Andrew Squire, of Cleve-
land, the Standard Oil attorney, to
help him. What potency Sheets lacks
he knows Squire possesses. for the
Standard Oil company never loses any
material cases in the Ohio courts. It
seems to have a knowledge of the ave-
nues. The Canton manufacturers and
business men who resent the assault
oh ShO'i ptSihCSo are llBHI, anu InClT
contentious are doubtless right, but
they are up against wrong PROPOSE
ton. The right, unfortunately, has
not always predominated in Ohio, and
they are fighting the Republican party
and one of the planks of the platform
adopted at Cleveland. They are on
good Democratic ground when they
combat double taxation. If the rail-
roads were paying a tenth OF what
they ought to pay, this tax on legiti-
mate enterprises would not have been
made. But the railroads must be cared
for at the expense of other taxpay-
ers.
Much interest is manifested in the
action Of the Democratic convention in
Indiana, in the stand it has taken on
the party questions. The elimination
or an endorsement Of silver and every
thing contended for in 1896 and re-
iterated in 1900. will have its effect
on the declaration to be made by Ohio
Democrats.

TWO ODD FISHES.

The ChnngeabIe Pink Hind ana the
Rainbow Hued Parrot Fish.
The claar, limpid waters that sur
round Bermuda and the West Indies
lie above coral reefs covered with
plants and animals, many Of which are
brilliant in color as rainbow They
look like glimpSes of fairyland, and as
your eye Wanders from one wonder to
another you catch yourself striving to
peek just around some corner into
strange nook, half hoping to see a
bevy OF mermen and mermaids sport
ing and playing within the crannies.
Here is patch of pale green sea let
tuce, there group of great purple
sea fans, yonder some golden corals
standing out like a shelf or branching
like a tree, while among them all
swim lovely fishes that take the place
of the fairies that should dwell in this
magic land and fascinate you by their
gorgeous colorS and their graceful,
wavy motions.
There is a great green parrot fish,"
as brilliant in color as his namesake
the bird, showing himself boldly and
swimming along slowly, secure from
any assault. His scales are green as
the fresh grass of springtime, and each
one is bordered by pale blown line.
His fms are pink and the end of the
tail is banded with nearly every color
of the rainbow. He is snowy. but this
showiness serves him a good purpose.
His flesh is bitter and poisonous to
man and probably so to other fishes as
we'll, and they let him well alone, for
they can recognize him afar of, thanks
to his gaudy dress.
Underneath the parrot, lying on the
bottom, Is pink hind" You notice
him, and as the parrot passes over him
he suddenly changes to bright scarlet
and as quickly resumes his former
faint color. Had the parrot been look,
Ing for his dinner and thought the hind
would make good first course this
sudden change of color might have
scared him off just as the sudden bris-
Ting of cat makes dog change his
mind. When the hind is disturbed at
night, he gives out flashes Of light to
startle the intruder and send him away

bones should be sufficiently far apart
to enable the head to form an angle
