Some years ago a prominent physician
who was a close observer of human nature
was led to investigate what he thought to
be the leading weakness of mankind. He
was then practicing his profession in one Of
the leading cities of the country, and en-
toyed a lucrative practice, coming in contact
with all classes. He was startled to notice
so many of his fellow-Inen trying to drown
their troubles and misfortunes with liquor
and different forms of narcotic drugs. His
observations led to a thorough study of the
seemingly useless habit which grew on each
Individual from day to day. II a little was

REPUBLIC SPECIAL

SPECIAL.
Springfield. Ill, Jan. 17.-Attorney General
Hamiin has been called upon to cope with
another trust. The farmers Of Illinois have
a grievance against the Illinois Grain Deal
ers Association, which is said to be organ
1zing a movement to shut out from the mar
ket all the grain of the farmers and compel
them to operate through the trust elevators.
This would close down all the Independent
elevators and give the trust a monopoly.
The complaint has come from Mason
County, where there are several Independent
elevators. 1t is stated by the farmers filing
the complaint that the Illinois Grain Deal
era Association has notified the Chicago
commission men not to accept any grain
from these Independent elevators. In other
words. the farmers are boycotted and their
grain cannot reach the market,

accompanied by Amos Hines. constable.
When the parties came near Giffords
house they were met by Clifford. who
warned them away and began shooting.
About twenty shots were fired when tho
doctors and officer retired TO get assist

escaped and a diligent search failed 10
