ACCIDENTS.

John Shaffer of Franklin township
slipped on the ice and fell against the
steps of Riddles store in Prospect a few
days ago. fracturing some ribs.
Thomas Diver, the engineer Of the
Bottle Works, met with frightful ac-
cident, Monday. His hand was caught
by belt, which whirled II and the arm
into pully, which twisted his arm off
at the elbow. He was taken to the hos
pital, where the stump was amputated.
and it was thought yesterday that he
would recover. He has made his home
here for several years, and is not mar
ried. Diver exhibited the utmost
nerve" when the accident happened.
He walked to the Office. where his arm
was bound up, and the flow of blood
stopped, and never lost consciousness un-
til placed on the operating table at the
Hospital.
Miss Cutie Haining Of Freeport, aged
Is years, was probably fatally burned,
Tuesday, when her dress caught fire
from the gas fire in the parlor. She
was burned about the limbs and body
and inhaled the flames.
New Brighton was the scene of a
terrible bob-sled accident, last Friday
night. A large sled carrying sixteen
boys dashed down hill and into a pass
ing train, and those who did not save
themselves by jumping or falling off
were either killed or injured Among
the killed was Merl SAVERS, a son of
John E. SAVERS, and whose mother was
Matte Keefer, a daughter of Daniel
Keefer of West Liberty. He lived for
but ten minutes after the sled struck
the train. The boys had watchers post
ed at the track but their sled was going
so fast they could not stop it. County
Commissioner McCandless is related to
the SAVERS, and attended the funeral
Sunday afternoon.

Prosecute the Beef Trust.

If there is such a thing as criminal
trust" the Beef Trust fills the bill.
That trust has used its vast power,
gained by rebates from the railroads, to
lay violent hands upon the food of the
people and to fix prices at will. 1t has
played both ends for its sole profit 1t
has refused fair prices to the cattle rails
ers and has sold the product of its pack
ing houses at high prices to the con-
sumers.
Judge Grosscup long ago granted an
injunction against the trust restraining
it from committing acts of conspiracy
in restraint of trade. That injunction
has just been made permanent by the
Supreme Court. Apparently the trust
has paid no heed whatever to the Gross
cup ruling. If this is SO, if it defiantly
went about its business as an organiza-
ton or by general agreement to control
the market, then it has rendered itself
liable to criminal prosecution.
1t is believed that President Roosevelt
contemplates such prosecution. If he
find ground for action, he will be heart
ily commended if he pushes it to the
legitimate finish. With prison threaten
ing them there would be some regard
for the law hereafter among the beef

Oil and Gas Notes.
Market is 81. 30.

Texas oil-The Jennings oil field
according to Colonel Alba Haywood
heavy producer of the Texas and
Louisiana oil fields, is the largest in the
world. The proven area is now about
GO acres. but in this limited territory
over 5000, 900 barrels Of oil have been
produced since September, 1901. Over
one half of this amount is stored in
earthern storage tanks. The present
daily production is between 10000 and
$4,000 barrels. Some of the gusher
wells have declined, but are still pro-
ducing oil in immense quantities.
Kansas-The Standard Oil Co. has or
dered suspension of all work in the
Kansas oil fields. Nine hundred men
have been laid off. The order came
from the Kansas City headquarters and
while no explanation was given, it is
supposed the opposition the company
has met at the hands of Kansas legisla-
tors is responsible for the action. East
ern oil men estimate that the company
has more than $4,000, 900 invested in
the Western fields upon which it has
not yet realized. The order to suspend
work was issued by Daniel ]. O'Day,
general manager.

Bad for Mitchell.

In Federal Court in Portland, Ore,
last Saturday, Judge A. II. Tanner,
United States Senator Mitchell's law
partner, confessed to perjury in his evil
dence given before the Federal grand
jury in connection with the investiga-
ton of the land frauds in that state.
when testimony was being taken with a
view to connecting United States Sena-
tor Mitchell with the cons piracy to de-
fraud the government
The Federal grand jury that afternoon
indicted Congressman J. N. William
son and his partner in the sheep bust
ness, Van Gesner, also A. A. Biggs,
land commissioner at Frineville, Ore,
charging conspiracy to defraud the
United States of public lands.
THE Jap Russ war has been ON for
year, and from forty to fiftythousand
men have been killed in battle, while
over 13O, 900 have passed through the
hospitals.
