A Combine Against the Farmers.

A proper case for investigation by the
attorney general Of the United States,
with view to proceedings under the
Sherman antitrust law, would appear to
exist In the reported federation of grain
dealers in Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas,
Illinois and Minnesota, under the gen.
eral title of "rhe National Grain Deal
er's Association Its object, according
to the Northwestern Agricultural, is
mutual protection of dealers and boy
colt of the smaller commission firms
and farmers elevator companies. Com
panies of the latter description have
been growing in popularity in the grain
states, and instances of their profitable
operation, under system which saves
to the producers large share OF the
money heretofore going into the pockets
of middle-men, are encouraging their
multiplication. To check this growth,
and retain the business in the hands of
members of the Grain Dealers Associa
tion, kind of pressure clearly illegal
and sin restraint of trade" Is resorted to.
According to the Agriculturlst, when
the association learns that 3 shipment
has been made by Q farmers elevator
company, q letter is sent to the commits
sion firm, before the arrival of the grain.
Here is sample of the communications
received directly from the state branch
es of the association:
ave desire to advise you that the
Iowa Grain Dealers Association does
not recognize farmers elevator COM
panies. We shall use all Legitimate
means to protect our members from
such competition, competition that
if successful means that the grain deal.
er who would earn q legitimate profit
must 60 out of business. We state our
position plainly that you may decide or
such policy toward these farmers
elevator companies as you may consider
for your best interest, and hope you
i will continue to work In harmony witt
u.s."
The result is claimed to be that th,
commission firm is either scared ou
of receiving the grain, or, attempting t
sell 1t, finds no dealer to buy, except q
ruinous discount. Small shippers ar
thus discouraged and oppressed, and
movement promising advantages to tn
grain farmer equal to those which &C
crue to the dairy farmer from the organ
ization of cooperative cresmerles an
dairy associations is hindered in its de
yelopment. Now that Attorney Ger
eral Knox has been reinforced wit
ample funds and machinery for th
suppression of illegal combinations,
would seem that he only needs to hav
his attention called to the matter, by
statement duly authenticated, to insul
such q movement by the governmel
against the combine as shall satisfy tt
whole Northwest that the nation
antitrust legislation Is sloaded I,

The Editors Woes.

oh. sad. Indeed. is the editors lot,
II is full OF grief and pain.
Zach day he IL forced 10 en1ure enough
To drive most men insane;
With a host of nuisnnces. beats and bores
lie Is constantly beset
From the knave who borrows his pet xchange
To the dude with tue cigarette.
There's the crank subscriber who makes row
When his paper Is delayed.
And who never offers the least excuse
When his bill remains unpaid;
And passion poet With seethlng SOUL
Who would set the world aflame,
And the bad. bad man with the thirst for gore
Who prates OF an injured name.
Yes. this world Is far from power of peace
To the editor. poor man,
And he finds Ii hard to exist ut all.
No matter how he may plan.
For the one who gives him kindly word
there's home beyond the skies,
And abundant entrance into the gates
OF eternal Paradise.

never deemed it Wise to place tax on

Army regulations allow second
lieutenants but two rooms as "quar-
ters". To obviate the inconvenience
which such limited accommodation
entails on married officers of this rank
it has become the custom to build the
two rooms with only the corners ad-
joining. 1t then becomes necessary
to inclose the remainder of the square
in order that communication may be
had without passing through the
open air. This gives two extra rooms
which are referred to in official re-
ports as "halls."

The death of Mr.. Hanson is a seri
Gus loss to the working force of this
community. 1t is one, also, which
seems to be generally recognized.
Having been associated with him in
the care of the Way Library, and to
some extent acquainted with his
course in other public matters, it
seems due to him and myself, to state
that the public recognition of his
worth to the community is well
founded. His education gave him
power in the line of discerning what
measures were likely to prove a pub
lie benefit. Others may have had
just as good purpose, who through
inexperience, or want of the special
knowledge which would enable them
to judge correctly on the real value of
the measures proposed, were often in
opposition to him to the ultimate
damage and loss to the whole com
munity.
In the great crises of the National
history, a man of brain and heart
has done more to win success, than
all the gold and armies of the nation,
because without such man to direct
and inspire, all the gold of a nation
might be wasted in carrying out the
schemes of the heartless and the igno-
rant.
This fact is so well recognized,
that the great prophet of Israel,
when speaking of the overthrow of
Babylon, put this as the final ele-
ment of that destruction, that the
Lord would "make MAN more PRE-
cIoUs than GOLD, even a MAN than the
Golden wedge of Ophir."
1t is often the misfortune of com
munity that it does not discover the
value of man till he is taken from
them. 1t was SO of old, even among
the children of Isael who often slew
their prophets, and then discovering
their value, built sepulchres to their
honor. The general regret that Mr..
II. has been taken away seems to
give force to this general truth, and
is alike honorable to those who feel
it, and to him who is mourned.
1t should not be considered strange
if it should now be discovered that a
man who was of more value to the
community than any golden wedge
of Ophir, had been taken from the
place which he had endeavored, as I
believe, with all his power, disinter-
estedly to serve, G. A. ADAMS.

A SOUND INSTITUTION.

In another column will be found
the annual statement of the financial
condition of the Citizens Banking
company of Perrysburg, which shows
a condition of business prosperity
that is very satisfactory to the com
pany and places this bank in the list
of the most reliable and prosperous
banking houses of the State.
AT the meeting held last Tuesday
the old board of Directors were re-
elected with the exception of Norman
l.. Hanson who was elected as a Di.
rector in place of his father, whose
death occurred last week.
The officers elected are the same as
those of last year, excepting the Office
of Cashier, to which Norman l.. Han
son has been elected.
His experience in this bank with
his father as Cashier, his ability al
an accountant, and his knowledge o
the banking business acquired
through actual experience, makes hin
especially well fitred for the position
The policy of the bank will con
tinue the same as during the pas
years of its successful management.

Two years ago England placed Or
ders with German manufacturers for a
large number of railway engines.
The United States was a competitor
for the work and lost because the
Germans promised the work in much
shorter time. Forty engines to have
been completed last August are now
promised before the end of this year
Ten others are year over due and
twenty-five others but half completed
should have been ready for delivery
now. England will probably shop in
the United States next time.

TWO DAMAGE CASES.

A suit for $4,000 damages is the
result of a fire on the Cincinnati,
Hamilton 81 Dayton right of way.
Jane Stone, as far as known, the only
female oil producer in this country,
has filed the suit and says that the
fire destroyed almost all the ma
chinery on her lease which is abutting
to the railroad property. She says
that a spark from the locomotive fired
the dry grass in the right of way and
that the fire communicated with her
property, causing damage as stated

One of the most interesting suits
filed in the courts of Wood County
for long time is that of Albert
Schrader against Laura Ireland, for
$4,000 damages. 1t is said that after
the marriage of her daughter to
Schrader, Mrs. Ireland conceived a
dislike to him and ON every occasion
endeavored to poison her daughters
mind against her husband and to
breed discomfort. Schrader it is said
was in Marion, Ind, at work, when a
summons in divorce was presented to
him charging him with infidelity and
other undutiful acts. He hurried
here and has filed the $4,000 dam
age suit against his mother-in-law,
also answering the petition for di-
vorce and denying each and every al
legation therein contained. Mrs. Ire
land has very productive oil pro.
ducing farm in the county and is con-
sidered quite wealthy.
