Bad Outlook for the Filipino Planters.

The efforts to restore agriculture in
the Philippines have been blocked by
death of field animals. Ninety pei
cent of the caraboas died in the origi.
nal epidemic of rhinderpest and of the
small number left many have since
died. The government had planned
an extensive Importation of these ami
mails to meet the crying need and had
arranged to have them immunized. II
was forced to abandon this plan on ac-
count of the lack of money to meet the
purchases. The general cultivation Of
the plantations is impossible without
them and the absence of any immediate
prospect of getting the field animals
leaves the agricultural situation in
serious condition.

Big Beaver Dam in Maine.

The biggest beaver dam ever seen In
Maine is now attracting hundreds of
people to Caribou, on the Aroostoolz
river. Two miles from the village the
beavers have built a dam of logs and
mud 2SO feet long, turning the river
back upon the lowlands for Il distance
Of three miles. and thus creating Il
great lake. Trees a foot in diameter
have been cut down by the beavers,
the branches trimmed off, and the
trunks in some manner brought to the
dam and submerged. The dam is bet

been built by men, and the Caribou
people r rather proud of it. Over

tive labor man said, are "strike crazy
and there is no telling when the trouble
will end.
Business men find themselves staggered
by the strike. Many conferences have
been held, the influence of the Civic Fed
Grafton has been invoked and the State
board of arbitration has tried to find a
ground for agreement between the par.
ties at war, but apparently there is lit

lost its regular force of freight handlers
and clerks, but with teaming tied up

coming congested like those of other

%ANTl.TRusT LAW voIp.
Supreme Court Declares Illinois st
ute Demonstrations.

Supreme Court Declares Illinois Stat.
ute Unconstitutional.
The United States Supreme, Court has
handed down a decision holding that the
Illinois antitrust statute is unconstitu.
tional. 1t is stated in the decision that
the law is void because of the provision
cAempting agricultural products and live
stock.
This decision is of the utmost interest,
not only to the people Of Illinois, but to
corporations which desire to do business
in the State. The Judgment was render,
others against the Union Sewer Pipe
Company of Ohio, and was delivered by
Justice Harlan.
Outside of the Texas statute the Illi-
nois antitrust law has been the most
stringent in the country and many corpo-
rations have moved headquarters to 9th.
er States to avoid it. Hundreds of cases
are in the courts against corporations for
failing to comply with various provisions
of the antitrust statute. and these cases
will be affected by the decision.
The decision of the Supreme Court up
holds an opinion handed down by Judge
Kohlsaat in January. 1900. The Illinois
jurist based his opinion on the same
ground as the higher court, taking excep-
ton to the section which exempts from
its provisions the agriculturist and stock
raiser. Judge Kohlsaat held that the
statute was tainted with class and spe-
cial legislation and was in contravention
of both the federal and State constitu-
tons. In his decision the judge refused
to confine his finding to the clause in
question. but placed the ban on the entire
act, which is known us the Illinois anti
trust law of 1898.
The Objectionable part of the law to
Judge Kohlsaat and the Supreme court
is section o. which contains these words:
'The provisions of this act shall not APP
ply to agricultural products or live stock
while in the hands Of the producer or
raiser" Judge Kohlsaat held that this
clause rendered the whole act void.

j. 2. ALTGELD ISDEAD.
FALLS FROM AN APoPLEcTlc
STROKE AFTER SPEECH.
Faints ON the stage at the Close Of an
Impassioned Address at a Pro.Boer
Meeting, Held in Joliet, 1ll.-Expires
Within o Few Hours. Z.

Ex-Gov. John p. Altgeld Of Illinois
was stricken with apoplexy at Joliet
Tuesday night, and at 3 o'clock Wednes-
day morning four physicians in attend
ance had given up hope. His family and
business associates had at that hour been
summoned. Mr.. Altgeld fingered in an
unconscious state until Z o'clock, when he
passed away.
Mr.. Altgeld went to Joliet from Chi
cago in the afternoon, having been wide-
~ advertised a the principal orator for
q big pro-Boer meeting. He confessed
that he was not in the best of health,
having been troubled with some appar-
emily simple stomach ailment.
He was not willing to allow that to
interfere with his speech, however, his
great interest in the South African strug-
gle having been heightened by the mn
nouncement Of the Boer success in the
capture OF Gen. Methuen. 1t was noted
during the address that the Ex-Governor
threw an unusual mount Of energy and
feeling into his words, and the collapse,
the physicians think, resulted from over
straining his physical powers.
He went through to the end of his adj
dress without my evidence Of weakness,
but suddenly, just as he stepped to the
wings Of the stage. he fell into a dead
faint. The audience that crowded the
hall and had been stirred by his words
was not at once clear as to what had
happened, for the Ex-Governor was not
visible to those in the body of the house
when he toppled over into unconscious
ness.
All those who as speakers and commit
teemen and women sat on the stage saw
the fainting man and al rushed to his
rescue. He was picked up, still in an
insensible condition, and borne into one
Of the larger dressing rooms, where there
was a lounge.
Doctors were summoned at once to the
bedside Of the unconscious man, and Ct.
ter much effort Mr.. Altgeld was brought
back to consciousness. He was then
taken to the Hotel Munroe, where he

He looks as il his thoughts were far
away;
Ihe shoes are worn and rusty that he
has upon his feet.
And he loiters as the careless only may.
His clothes are fraycd and old,
Nature cast him in a mold
That was poor and warped, and took
but little care,
When she set him up, to trim

But I wish l had the smile I see him
wear.
He may never win the envy Of the

He may never charm with tongue OF

Perhaps the Lord intended him to merely

As one Of those who wait on other men.
I see him move along.
