but little more than

it was a hard-Work-

FIfty-seyenth Congress, the ANTITRUST
legislation being thought by many to hold
the first place. AS far as antitrust
measures are concerned, the advance has
been marked. First came the beef trust
excitement Then the railroad merger
forced sharp public criticism, and then,
to increase the publics hostile feeling
against the trusts, came the coal strike,
which, perhaps, more than anything else
called attention to the vast power of
the big corporations.

Congress Acts.

Congress heard and acted. The De
partment of Commerce and Labor was
established, and Senator Nelson's amend
ment providing for a bureau of public
ity was adopted. This bureau has au-
thority to insist on the making public
of the operations of all great corpora
tions.
Legal authorities have held that the
Sherman antitrust law did not 60 far
enough. 1t was this feeling that made
the Fifty seventh Congress pass spe-
cal act making more rapid the progress
of suits against the trusts under the stat
ute as it exists. Attorney General Knox,
acting under the power newly given, has
put forces into action to expedite the
suits against the railroad merger III the
Northwest.
Touching this matter of railroad COM
binations, the Elkins bill, which has be-
come Il law, is Of interest 1t provides
heavy fines for the giving or receiving of
rebates. 1t has been charged that dis
eliminating rebates were the means of
building up monopolies like the coal trust
and the Standard Oil Company.
Congress, as one of the first acts of the
session, passed bill suspcnding the tar
lift on coal of all kinds coming from for
eign countries.

Dr. ". G. lSsDne OF Boston has iust
completed in this city a course Of
lectures to teachers, which did not
receive the appreciation or attention
they deserve The keynote of his
lectures was a plea for broader

but would put him more in touch

highway that his life must pursue.

There is without doubt. very
much suggestiveness for good in DIR
Boones position The schools are
too narrow, they insist too much ON
technical compliance with rules,
which rules are not really meant for
anything else than helps to elucidate
the subject and are not themselves
the aim and object Of a special course
of study. And the schools deaden
themselves with the adoption Of and
adherence To this or that system.

ocratic national committeeman from
Georgia and prominent figure in
Southern political affairs, is being
booomed for the vice-presidency on the

was launched at Gainesville, Fla, by

years the lieutenant of Senator Call,
who is now a candidate for Congress

4 speech before several thousand demo-
Gratis. He devoted a good part of his

in the country who would to such an
extent strengthen the presidential tick
ct. Mr.. Alexander's suggestion of Mr..
Howell for the vice-presidency was met

INCREASE OF
WAGES

Several hundred machinists in the
shops OF the Chesapeake and Ohio and
the Southern railroads have been grant
ed an increase of pay averaging 25
cents day. The machinists employed
on the Southern were given flat raise
from $2.75 to So day for every man.
The Chesapeake and Ohio machinists,
who have been paid maximum of
1913 day, now receive So, while some
few get less. Committees representing
both systems have ended their confer
ences with the officials and all matters
affecting the men are settled for one
year to the entire satisfaction of both
sides. The men are much pleased with
their increase.
Concerning the change among the
master mechanics of the Chesapeake
and Ohio, it is said that members of
the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen,
through their committee, which recent
ly held conferences with the Chesa-
peake and Ohio officials, lodged formal
complaint against some of these and
that as a result of these complaints the
master mechanics were changed Both
the men and officials refuse, however,
to discuss the matter. These men were
also granted an increase in wages as
a result of the conference.

The bridegroom was William Hall, who

as a joke was found to be too true, the
husband in his official capacity having

1900 People to the Ground.

A grand stand erected on knoll or
the Fort Leavenworth reservation gave
way during sham battle by regular
troops, several days ago, injuring TWEEN
ty-four persons. None were killed
Many of those injured received broken
legs. There were fully 1,500 peopls
crowded upon it. There was a heavy
artillery duel with siege guns, Three
batallions of infantry were using black
powder. Some one announced that
the cavalry were emerging from a
ravine to charge. People on the grand
stand pumped up to see them through
tbe smoke. The entire stand went
down with a crash. The confusion was
understandable until the regular soldiers
formed line and kept all back not
injured or caring for those injured
The battle which was at its height on
the opposite side of the road was called
off at once, and the soldiers, acting
under the direction of their officers,
balances were used to convey people
