LOCK STEP HAS BEEN
 DROPPED AT JOLIET.

JOLIET, H., July 6.-For the first time in the history of the Illinois state penitentiary, the convicts this morn ing marched from their cells in militia Try formation, instead of in the old fashioned lock-step. The change had a marked effect on the prisoners, who exhibited pleasure at the innovation. This action is in line with other re- forms instituted by WarGen h:drphy, although the influence of Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth also was effective. The men now walk two abreast in reg uiar military formation. Among oth- CT reforms put into practice by Ward en Murphy are the abolition of stripes on the prisoners clothing, permission for them to wear their hair long and the establishment of dining room. Formerly the men had to eat their meals in their cells.

ARIZONA RANGER LAY DRUNK
 IN GUTTER
Arrested By Policeman Duffy and Taken to Tucson
 Police Station.

TUCSON, July 6.-It has just leaked out that an arrest which was made Tuesday night and quickly unmade when the party arrested was known, and which was not booked on the DO lice register, had some sensational features.
 The arresting officer was Policeman Duffy and his capture was an Arizona Ranger who lay in the gutter on Gay Alley in a drunken stupor. The Ranger at that tim< was in no cou- dition to uphold the Territorial law, or any other, and could not even up hold himself.
 He was found by Policeman Duffy who ordered him to get up. Instead of complying, the Ranger made an at tempt to get his gun from his rolster. This was frustrated by the policemtn, who tapped the Ranger on the head with his club, bringing his speedily into subjection. Then having secured the Rangers gun, Duffy marched his capture to the police station.
 When it was learned there of the identity of the prisoner, he was given his gun and allowed to go free, nc booking being made of the arrest.

In the evening the Declama-
tory Contest was held in the
Court room. Three High Schools
were represented by eight con
testauts. 1t is worthy of note
that five of the eight took part
IN the contest last year, and that
first honors were awarded to the
same young lady who won second
place at that time.
All of the contestants did such
excellent work that it was hard
to discriminate among them.
The result, which was reached
by computing an average, of the
markings awarded by the Judges
was apparently satisfactory i'm
that it seemed to meet the ap-
proval of the audience. The
ofllowing is a list of the contest
ants and the titles of their selec-
tons:

Annual Meeting Alethetic & Literary
High School Association.

The Annual meeting of the
Custer County High School AS
ISOLATION was held in Broken
Bow, Saturday, May IL. Owing
to the fact of the President,
Russell smith, having left school
and resigned his office some three
months since, the advent had not
been as well advertised as it
should have been, as the vice
president lived in distant part
OF the County. No blame at
taches to any one for this omis-
sion, but 1t is to be regretted.
The field contests were held at
the ball ground in the afternoon,
but we have not a full report of
them. We understand that the
honors were pretty evenly dis
tributed among the various towns
represented.

The report of Commissioner
GARFIELD on the transportation
and freight rates obtained by
the STANDARD OIL Co., from COM
mon carriers, with the presidents
message accompanying, is one of
the significant events in the war
which has been waged by
the people against monopolies.
While other monopolies, like the
beef trust, are more oppressive,
and others, like the sugar trust,
are guilty of more shameful
outrages upon public sentiment,
Standard Oil has aroused the
greatest indignation. This is
partly due to its being considered
1.-THE Imother of the trusts" and
partly to its increasing interfer-
ence with the general business
system of the country. It's
enormous profits have been used
to control the railroads of the
country; to dominate Wall street;
to misuse the funds of life
insurance companies and in other
ways to extend its power over
the interests of the people. The
tight against monopoly has been
more that contest for the con-
yeniences and comforts of life at
a fair price; more than a struggle
to keep open opportunities for
independent business. 1t has
been warfare in behalf of the
popular liberties against monopo-
listic forces as dangerous as any
ever represented by king of
robber baron. In Standard Oil
the people have felt the center
OF this hostile power. The
attack upon Standard Oil is one
that arouses the popular en-
thusiasm more than any other
event IN the long contest.

The interstate commerce COM
mission has issued a report on
the railroad accidents for the last
three months of the past year,
and 1t is interesting to note the
large proportion of accidents
that resulted by falling from cars
or engines, or while getting on
or of the same. Of the "A
passengers killed, "a received
their injuries that way and 53s
OF those injured out of a total of
l,O64, came from the same cause.
l7S trainmen were killed and
1874 injured. 70 of the killed
and 1901 of the injured are
classed in the same cause. OF
trainmen in yards, IS were killed
and l,75S were injured; 20 of the
killed and 626 of the injured are
credited to the same cause.
This is a somewhat remarkable
showing, as most of these
accidents must have been the
result or gross carelessness.

Origin of "StatiOner."

According to Pierre de BIois, the ti tie ''StatiOner" was applied to one class Of bookseller long before the seven teenth century, though that may have been the period when it came to refer to any seller of books. He distin- guishes between the librarii and the Gtationarii, who had both become so numerous in Paris in 1259 that cer, tain regulations had to be made for their control. The former were agents for the sale and loan of manuscripts, large sum of money being deposited when a manuscript was lent while the latter, allowed to have stations or stalls in the markets, were sellers and cop iers of manuscripts. At the time he wrote there were twenty-nine brokers and stationers in Paris, not very dan gerous number, one would think, con. sidering that Paris from the twelfth to the fifteenth century was considered the chief seat of learning.-London Standard.

Among other articles of special note was the celebrated "Moon Hoax" published in 1885. It required the work of forty persons ten hours per day for eight weeks to ''get out' this mammoth paper.

Wished It Was Saturday Night.

One of our best known manufactur- CTS, whose business for years has been done by travelling salesmen, made up his mind to call personally upon his New York city trade as an excuse to get to New York, a place he had not visited in twenty years. The gorgeous ness of the hotels made a great i'm pression upon him. The best was none too good, as he has plenty of money, and be is not afraid to spend it when away from home, so he put up at one of the palatial hostelries and had suit of rooms. When he returned he told his friends of the magnifcence of the place, the fine furniture, the beauti- tul decorations and the finely appoint ed bathroom.

WOMEN CABBIES IN PARIS.
Two Already Taking Lessons to Ac-
quIre Art of Modern Jehus.

Paris, Dec. S-Yet another occupation
hitherto held sacred TO men is being in
vaded by the gentler sex. A woman
''cocher" is soon to be a living fact in
Paris.
Nine. Defaut, whose husband is an ex-
perienced driver of a taxameter, and an
other woman hailing from the country.
have entered their names as students in
the classes organized for the teaching OF
humane driving. Nine. Dufaut has al
ready had many lessons from her hus-
band. There is little doubt that she will
pass the necessary tests, and in a short
time take her place on the drivers box
Of a Paris cab. The other aspirant has
not up to the present received any prac-
teal instruction IN the art of driving
but she is a country girl, with a good
experience of horses, and she has no
fears as to her future success.
Both these women hope TO be we'll pat
rOnized by their own sex, for, as they
say, women would be more likely to
trust themselves to a woman than to an
