ANTITRUST LAWS KNOCKED our.

4 1t is one thing for smooth-tongued
xagitators to stir the masses by a de-
nuneiation of trusts, and it is quite an
other to deal with the trusts in prac-
teal way thru legislation and court de-
cisions. One of the practical difficult
assss is in determining what business
ms are trusts.
: other states, Illinois has had an
.rustsl law on her statute books for
1iber.iof years, but 1t has not been
active of large results, and now
se Hanecy of the state circuit court
pronounced it unconstitutional. By
hecision practically all that was left
the anti trust statutes of Illinois is
clared TO be nulity.
IN the case decided, and in fifty-three
lncipally upon the provisions of Sec
4 one of the act of 1891, which pro-
les for the filing of affidavits by cor
ATOMS annually, showing that they
not party to any pool combfna-
or trust. Failure to do this led to
scution, which is a sort of negative
of trying to establish the conten-
that such failure proves a trust.
Ne decision has direct bearing up
ia large number of cases that have
a begun against manufacturing
Germs to collect fines for non-com-
lance with the provisions of the anti
rust law in regard to filing affidavits.
Carly in 1899 Attorney General Aiken

orney Deneen. of Cook county, began
lwelve hundred suits in the courts of

Al900,a00. The trust statutes provide

Eary Of state shall address letter to

sWer under oath as to whether the cor
poration is party to any pool, combi-

Good Advice.

The most miserable beings in the
world are those suffering from dyspep-
STA and liver complaint. More slan
seventy-five per cent of the people in
the United States are afflicted with
these two diseases and their effects,
such as sour stomach, sick headache,
habitual costiVeness, palpitation of the
heart, heart burn. waterbrash. gnaw-
ing and burning pains at the pit os the
stomach, yellow skin. coated tongue
and disagreeable taste in the mouth
coming up of food after eating, low
spirits, etc. Go to your druggist and
get bottle of August Flower for 70
cents. Two doses will relieve you. Try
it. Get Green's Special Almanac.

THE KNIFE THRoWERs.

The Times Republican with yester-
days issue began publication Of a well
written and intensely interesting serial
story entitled THE Knife Throwers."
The serial. which is by Frederic Rem
sallaer Dey, will run thru nine issues
of the paper. Mondays, Wednesdays
and Fridays. The scene is laid in Old
Mexico, the city of senoritas, braves
and the iealousies which breed murder
A midnight meeting between a fair
Mexican attended by her draped and
hooded duenna and a wealthy Ameri-
cano, mysterious abduction and a
duel to the death furnishes the action
changes to New York, where the young
American is found dead in his room
with his heart pierced by knife. His
faithful old servant accepts the stigma
of suspicion while an intimate friend
does clever bit of detective work end
ing in the discovery of the knife throw
ers and their conviction of murder.
Near the close of the story the author
introduces very beautiful and touch
ing little love idyll, which furnishes the
high light for the hitherto somewhat
somber picture.
The story is thoroughly clean and
free from any Frenchiiied suggestive
ness or vicious situations. 1t is capi-
tally written, deals with fresh types,
fascinating in plot and action. Those
who read for amusement will thor.
oughly enjoy Mr.. Dey's excellent story,

The Sac Sun believes that the poll
liciuns who controlled the judicial con-
vengion at Carroll on Tuesday anG
Wednesday of this week did grave
injustice when they defeated judge
2lwood for denomination. The renom-
nation of Judge Church was made by
reclamation, there being on one pres
ent to say that he was not entitled to
such honor. The Sun gives cordial as
sent to this procedure, but is unable to
distove any reason why the record of
Judge Elwood did not entitle him to
like recognition. 1t is impossible to as
sigr any reason other than the greed of
the Tenth district politicians for the
fight that was made on Judge Elwood."

Upper Des Moines says: Reasonable
recreation is feature of the day as the

and recreation and day devoted to
public sports, and the latter is what
Sur day is rapidly becoming. Entirely
aside from the religious phases of the
subject. upon which the churches will
strongly insist, there are plenty of
reasons why the old American Sunday

Queer Case Of Egg Eating.

A writer in an unidentified exchange
says: l have a curious case OF egg
eating now in my yards A few weeks
ago 1t began to happen regularly that
some of the eggs in two adjoining
nests In one corner OF one Of the pens
were broken and eaten late In the
afternoon, the eggs not broken being
very much daubed up. ad sAe nests
torn to pieces. 1t was never done
early in the day, and If eggs we're
gathered about or o'clock there
was no trouble. AS soon as l had an
opportunity | set watch for the cul-
prit, and caught two-year-old men
in the act. She was shut in a small
pen occasionally used for sitters until
an opportunity to dress her occurred.
The next evening when | came nome
| discovered that she had laid on the
floor, but had paid no attention TO the
egg. ! put in a nest box, and leIt
her there for a few days. She laid
almost daily, and never disturbed the
nest or egg.
There was one hen-identity I'M
huOWu-W ulCl, iuSlcuu VI io@ 40 -
the house, laid among some raspberry
bushes beside a stone wall at one SIDE
of the yard. AS no eggs were lald
there while this hen was shut up, the
conclusion was reached that she was
that hen. Taking it for granted that
as she did not modest her own eggs,
she was not confirmed egg eater,
returned her to the pen from which
she had been taken. The nest by the
wall again contained an egg almost
daily For perhaps week the nests
in the houses we're not disturbed
Then one day l came home late in
the afternoon to find those same two
nests all torn up. Next day | came
earlier and caught this same hen in
the act
Again | shut her up intending to
kill her-this time in an unused dog
house, putting a couple of Stats over
the opening. She laid here the next
day and the day following, and did
not attempt to eat her egg. So as
final test | put a few eggs in the nest
in the pen where the breeding hens
are kept, and put her in the yard. In
less than ten minutes she had found
her way to this nest, had broken the
eggs-and was back in the dog house.
This time she gets no reprieye. But
why doesn't she break her own eggs!
