DAVID HARUM"
HERE ON DECEMBER S

An attraction that has settled tire.
mcndous success Throughout the country
and been pronounced the most success
full play taken from a book within the
last twenty years is the dramitization Of
Wescott's David Harum." The drawing
powers Of this play are said to be extra
ordinary, and it is not difficult to under
stand why. Wescotts book appealed to
all classes Of people who had any sense
of humor and his readers number posi-
bly, several millions. 1t stands to rea-
son that a good play made from such
book would enjoy success commensu-
rate with the success Of the story. From
reports more than good play was made
out of the book, and hence it is being
heraIded as the greatest comedy success
of modern times. 1t will please any
number of people to know that David

ers Grand opera house December 5. Tie

strong one, and is under the direction of

The Best Remedy FOR Croup.

From the Atchison, Kan, Daily Globe.
This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for Group
is in demand in every neighborhood, One
of the most terrible things in the world
is to be awakened in the middle of the
night by whoop from one of the chill
drcn. The Group remedies are almost as
sure to be lost, in case of Group, as re-
volver is sure to be lost in case of bur
glars. There used to be an old-fashioned
remedy for Group, known, as hive syrup
and tolu, but some modern mothers say
that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is bet
ter, and does not cost so much. 1t causes
the patient to "throw up the phlegm"
quicker, and gives relief in shorter
time. Give this remedy as soon as the
croupy cough appears and it will pre-
vent the attack. 1t never fails, and is
pleasant and safe to take. For sale by
Stone & Mercer, druggists.

Water and Light.

The cour Gil seems to be getting
hustle on itself in the line of electric
lights and water works extension.
The light plant is being pushed to
the front in a way that indicates that
we will have lights in the near future.
The plan proposes system OF arcs
all over the town and also an mean
descent plant for those who want the
lights.
A light plant has long been one of
the urgent demands of our fast grow
ing little city and everybody seems
delighted at the prospect Of having
one without further delay. The ex-
tension of the water works is an alb
solute necessity. The town has
grown away from the old plant and
there is great demand for water
that cannot be supplied.

THE MERGER DECISION.
e New York Times.

From the New York Times.
 The decision will necessarily cause much anxiety in corporation circles. How far will the courts go in forbidding the pur- chase and ownership of the shares of other corporations9 What other railroad mergers or consultations will be attacked by the government? Where will 1t all stop? It will stop where 1t is, of course, until the Supreme court has passed upon the decision handed down in St. Paul Thursday After that, should the princi- ples of this opinion and the courts de- cree be affirmed, trouble may be looked for in other quarters.
 It would appear that the reasoning of the court In the case of the Northern Se- curities corporation would be equally ap- plicable to a private individual, say Mr. Hill or MT. Morgan, who, by acquiring a majority of the stock of the two compet- ing roads had destroyed all motive for rivalry and competition between them. From the point of view of public policy 1t would seem that there could be no dif- ference between natural person and a corporation in this respect. Manifestly, such an application of the law forbidding acts In restraint of trade would restrain the right to buy and own property. The court appears clearly to make that con- struction of the law. This is necessarily an interference with the right to do busi- ness, and 1t may appear to the general public to be somewhat novel principle. The underlying principle is, of course, that private right must not be so exer- cised as to do public harm. That principle is old enough
 It will not escape the attention of the observant, however, that by decisions like this in the Northern Securities case the courts may actually do great public harm. A combination formed in good faith not to restrain trade, but to pro- mote 1t, a great corporation which was a source of public benefit would not, for those reasons, escape the enjoining de- cree and prohibition. In the Northern Securities case the court fixes it's eye on the assumed intent, and declares that the act forbidden Is the obtaining of power to do unreasonable things, whether in fact such things are done or not. That is a pretty important aspect of the decision in the Northern Securities case.

Piu Iron Production.

On April 1 the weekly capacity of the furnaces in the country was 376,576 tons, an aggregate never before eeualled. This capacity came from 292 coke, and 23 charcoal, furnaces, an increase of II furnaces since March 1.
 This district had at the beginning of this month 31 coke, and charcoal, furnaces in blast. a loss of three on account of repairs needed. This car ried our weekly capacity down to 29.- 7s6 tons, as against 31,293 tons one month ago.
 The total production is climbing up to rate equivalent to 20,000,000 tons per annum, but yet furnace stocks are not materially increased, there being on April 1 but Il ,OO0 more tons in the yards than there were a month before. The stocks unsold are inconsiderable. If export iron were out of the case there would not be enough of the home product to satisfy the demands of the melters.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-04-14
Northern Securities Decision.

In every part of the country the mer ger decision is discussed beyond any other subject, and opinion everywhere sustains the decision of the Circuit Court of Appeals. The decision, too, is considered as both important and secure. It was unanimously rendered, and no one anticipates reversal of it by the Supreme court, to which the case will of course be carried. 1t should be carried there that all may know where they are at. Heretofore the mergers have held the fort and field, exploiting the people unmerci- fully, and final decision by the Su- preme court is needed in order to show what the Sherman act does and does not coyer-what is monopoly and what is not-what may be permitted to exist under the law and what must be stopped.
 No comment that has come to the surface is more surprising than that of John Skelton Williams, president of a railroad that is rapidly gaining an en- trance to this district. He unquali- fledly commends the decision. He con siders 1t sound law, good sense and advantageous to all legitimate inter- ests. He says 1t will not be reversed
 MT. Williams welcomes the promise of continued fair competition. "In- stead," he adds, "of disturbing our prosperity, this decision, if sustained, as believe 1t will be, will establish, secure and protect the commercial sit uation; it will encourage legitimate growth and expansion and stimulate enterprise and industry, by guarding them against oppression and forced ab- sorption" These words, coming from the head of trunk line, are signifi- cant, and they illustrate the situation better than the words of non-railroad man possibly can. The fear of being stifed must have been ever present before MT. Williams eyes, and he evi- dently considers that the danger Is passed on account of the far-reaching effects of the Northern Securities de- cision. There Is not, In fact, state or a section that will not get relief by this decision from a great and over shadowing public danger, and even the mergers themselves will be benefited, because the problem will to some ex- tent be taken out of politics, and all interests will know where they stand.

Scandals in Postoffice Department.

Postmaster General Payne has been absent in the West Indies several weeks, If not months, and while he is away Mr. Wynne, the first assistant postmaster general, is unearthing scan- dal after scandal. The promotion syn. dicate in the department has been ex posed, and the rural free delivery scan. dal, and Congressman Swanson of Vir. ginia thinks any other department of the government would, if closely in. vestigated, show as much rottenness as has been found in the department that the absent MT. Payne nominally presides over.
 Just why Mir. Payne should be ab- sent when the Investigations are going on is not known. He is first, last and always a politician, and all of his vic tories have been of political nature. However, It will become his duty as soon as he comes home and he Is daily expected, to sift the charges and to make them known to the public. At present there is surprising stiffness and secrecy in connection with affairs that concern the peoples business, and no one outside of the department knows what has been detected, or is going on. Congressman Swanson says, however, that gigantic frauds" have been unearthed, and he thinks they will play an important part in next years campaign.
