Antitrust Legislation Certain.

A New York Herald special says that
John ID. Rockefeller. or wicked part
ner." has supplied the sensation of the
hour and has made 1t absolutely GER
tain that the department of commerce
bill will pass with the amendment In
serted by the conference committee of
Congress providing for publicity on the
lines advocated by Attorney General
Knox.
There is great deal of mystery re-
garding the alleged Rockefeller tele-
grams to senators asking them to de-
feat the publicity feature of the depart
ment of commerce bill, and most of the
members of the Senate discredit the
report on general principles, saying
that Rockefeller is too adroit man
to resort to such open methods in influ-
encing legislation. but there is no room
for successful denial of the fact that
kilograms were sent to both members
of the Senate and House. and they were
signed John ID. Rockefeller"
1t Is believed here that Rockefeller
will not deny that the kilograms were
sent. The only good a denial now
could do would be to raise question
of veracity between the source from
which the first news came and Rock
efeller. But that would not serve the
purpose of the Standard Oil Company.
No denial would change the situation
in Congress regarding this legislation.
The opposition OF the Standard Oil
Company has made the carrying out of
the Presidents trust program absolute
ly certain. In consequence of the dis
closures in connection with the alleged
Rockefeller kilograms, these things ap-
pear to the most experienced senator's
as absolutely certain:
Tristan agreement between the
Senate and House to adopt the report
OF the conference committee on the de-
partment Of commerce bill. which will
introduce into the federal statutes the
publicity principle for which the Pres
ident has been contending.

MISS IAACYS FIRST VALENTINE
By MARIE BorHILpA.

Miss Nancy Larkins. up to her for

opinion.
The village gossips had dubbed her
'-old maid" sometimes alluding to her
as peculiar" both favorite epithets
which wise people bestow upon those
who venture to disagree with public

She lived with an orphan niece,

consequences, she audibly smiled hO
contempt at their pet traditions and
amusements.
There was one, however, whom her
cold. forbidding exterior could not de-
ceive. Her next-door neighbor. Colo
mel Watson. He had travelled. he had

garden adjoined that of Miss Nancy:
in fact, he could look over the fence
and see that maiden-a thing he often
did--whenever she came out to trim
her rose bushes. loosen the earth
around her pet plants or "shoo" the
chickens out of the lettuce patch. So.
also, she could look over the fence
and see the coloneI-a thing she often
did slyly, for he was a comely person
to look at-and see him fussing about

customary with close neighDors. but
there was no lolling on the fence or
gossiping. The acquaintance went no
farther than circumspect formality.
What their elders lacked in cordial
ity, the two girls made up in close
intimacy. It did not take three years
for them to become chums. and their

Valentines day WAS approaching.
and this gave them an idea and an
opportunity to conspire against their

Miss Nancy had never received val

ponent OF such sentimentality.
"And do you really mean to say
that you never got a valentine. Aunt
Nancy-not even small one-when
you were young?" Lottie asked the
question. She had reached the ma
ture age of nineteen years and had
a collection of those tender missives
OF all shapes and sizes which were
the envy OF her less fortunate friends.

DAM BLOWN OUT.
State Work at Milford Is Destroyed
BY Dynamite.

Special TO the Daily Herald
Milford, Ia, Oct 19.-Last night
about o'clock the state dam at the
lower end of Gar lake was blown out
This dam controls and holds the wat
er of our whole lake system, and was
put in by the state, through the eff.
forts of Senator A. B. Funk, to keep
the fish from being carried out of the
lakes by high water. This is the
third attempt to destroy this dam
since July Of this year. Two deep ex-
plosions were heard about a minute
apart. The whole town was alarmed,
as the buildings shook and glass rat
tied in the windows. The dam is
about two miles from this town. The
explosion was felt at Okoboji and
Spirit Lake as plainly as here. At
daylight this morning a number were
on the ground to see what damage
was done. Two holes, six feet wide
and clear to the bottom, were blown
from the ends of the dam, and the
water pouring through. The iron fish
screen on top of the dam was wreckec
and pieces Of iron and great stones
were plowed into the ground several
rods away. 1t has never been discov-
cred who has perpetrated these out
RACES on state property.
