Publishers Press1

Chicago. Aug ga number of
railroad officials have been inter
viewed as to whether or not there is
a Joker in the railroad rate bill
which favors the Standard Oil com
pany The new law makes the
Standard Oil company a common car
rier, and one of its provisions author
ICES the issuance of passes to the
officers, agents and employees of
common carriers and their families.
The law provides for an inter
change of passes between common
carriers The Standard Oil company
does not issue passes, but one rail
road official said that If a railroad
gives a pass to an officer, agent or
employe of another railroad it does
not make it necessary for that rail-
road to get pass from the other
road in order to make an inter
change of passes within the law
The point is made that as the
Standard Oil company has an inn
mense number OF employees who trav-
el around the country on the business
of the corporation. the travelling on
passes would in effect be giving re
bates to the Standard Oil company.
1t is further claimed that if the rail-
roads want TO give free transporta-
tion to Standard Oil men the govern
ment is DowerlesS to interfere under
the new rate law.

WERNLE ADDITION
POSTPONED AGAIN
Lutheran Orphans Home
Must Wait a Year Till
1t Gets Improvement.
TWO PLANS CONSIDERED
MAY ERECT ONE BUILDING OR
COTTAGES MAY BE BUiLT-DIS-
TRICTS WILL CONSIDER AND
PASS ON MATTER.

At the meeting of the Lutheran
Ohio Synod at Columbus last week,
the matter of an extra addition or set
of cottages at the Wernle Orphans
Home here was brought up, and given
out TO the various districts to con-
slider and pass upon. This will defer
the proposed Improvement for at least
a year, as the districts meet annually.
1t was considered to erect a building
which would accommodate about for
ty children, or to build several small
cottages. This work is being pro
noted with the idea of making the To-
cal home sort of distribution station
for orphans. The Synod especially
emphasized the fact that as many or
phans as possible should be placed in
good Christian homes, thus diminish
ing the number at the Home, and
making more room for others. 1t
will be the particular effort of the Of
ficials of the Home to comply with
this resolution of placing the children
in homes and getting foster parents
for them.
The Rev. Mr.. Feeger, who attended
the Synod, stated that it was one of
the best he has attended and seemed
most prolific of good results.

Havana, Aug. 26.-Serious dissen-
tions between members of the cabinet
and President Palma, are the latest
advices from Cuba. 1t became known
rupture between the president of Gu
ba and Vice-President Mendez Ca
pote, owing, it is said to the discovery
of an alleged plot involving the vice
president and Liberal eader. Zayas,
whereby President Palma was forced
to resign and turn over the reins of
government to Capote. This plan, it
was stated, was to make the president
believe that this was the only means
by which peace could be restored in
the island.
1t also. appears that two other mem
bers of the cabinet, O'Farrell and
Casuso were involved in the alleged
plot. According to advices Pre- sident
Palma has asked. for the designations
of the plotters Immediately Ac-
cording to the latest advices the situ-
alton in Santa Clara province is very
grave. There are already a number
of insurgents in the field there. and
their ranks are being daily increased.
Guerra Has 1000 Men.
are very serious and at the present
time it looks as if the government
forces are unable to cope with the
situation. At Trinidad the insurgents
have taken the field and trouble may
be expected in that locality at any
moment
The correspondent of the Publish
ers' Press Association who is in a
position to know. says that the rebel
leader Guerra has now 1000 men in
his command and they are encamped
at Jaafre, ready to give battle to the
loyal troops at any time the occasion
arises.
The government. it is said. is in
possession of facts which leads the
officials to believe that the insurgent
cause is directed from Havana by a
committee of veterans of the Spanish
war.
While the officials will not disclose
the contents of the plans they have
discovered, and refuse to be inter
viewed, it is reported that a number
of prominent persons are involved,
and that the government will arrest
those implicated Immediately.
The government is making siren
uous efforts to have men desert the
insurgent cause. The officials are
offering a free pardon to all rebels
who will renounce their allegiance
to the cause antagonistic to the gov
ernment, provided they desert within
a certain number of days 1t is felt
in government circles that by this
means a number of men will lay
down their arms.

YESTERDAY
WAS TERRIFIC ONE
Rain Fell in Torrents and
Lightning Cut Several
Peculiar CaperS.
NO GREAT DAMAGE DONE
MANY PHONES WERE BURNED
OUT AND PEOPLE WERE BADLY
FRIGHTENED UNCOMFORTA.
BILE LIFE AT CHAUTAUQUA.

The rain-storm which has been
brewing for the past week, came upon
the city yesterday with unusual force
and endurance. For almost an hour
the rain beat down as it has not done
within the past few years. Streets
were swept clean, sewers flooded and
washed out, and many persons who
had taken advantage of the promising
morning, were driven to shelter.
Lightning struck several places,
but no place with fatal effect or great
propertyr loss. At the Clendenin
home, on North 18th street, the cupola
on the barn was shattered. at the Ma
sonic Temple, on North Ninth street,
much slate was torn from the lCof.
and at the Country Club the fuses
were burned out of the electric
lights. The burning out of a phone
at the Smithnleyer home on South
Seventh street accompanied by flash
of fire, was one of many accidents of
similar nature, caused by the play
of the lightning. The damage to
phones was great, both companies
suffering.
Had it not been for the extre mely
good repair of the sewers of the city
it is probable that damage would have
been done by back flooding water as
it was the down-pour was disposed of
almost as fast as it came. Little
damage was done by the wind.
The rain lent more discomfort to
Chautauqua campers than any one
else. Most of the tents proved to be
water proof but the wind drove the
downpour into crevices which were
not sufficiently protected, and many
had their effects spoiled. 1t left the
grounds very muddy in places and
there were many muddy skirts to say
nothing of shoes.

TO SYSTEMATIC SPRAYING
LARGE CROP OF APPLES
knightstoWn Grower has Banner
Crop of Eastern Indiana
This Year.

Knightstown, Ind, Aug. 26. (Spl)
Samuel t. S. Williams, a we'll
known fruit grower, is harvesting
the largest apple crop on his farm,
east Of this city, that he has ever
raised He attributes much of his
success to systematic spraying of
trees. He has two orchards, one of
them containing twenty acres, the
other seven. No grass nor weeds are
allowed to grow, and the orchards
are kept clear Of all kinds of rubbish
He has sprayed the trees four times
this year.
a few years ago a cyclone blew
down $50 trees in his orchards, but
he still has about 500 bearing trees
left. He raises nearly every known
variety of apple that will grow here
fall, winter and summer. Two apples
picked at random from his crop were
of large size, but not much above the
average. One weighed 11& ounces,
and measured 121s inches in circum-
ference; the other weighed 141a oun-
ces and was 1874 inches in circum-
ference. This crop is considered the
finest ever raised in Eastern Indiana
Mr.. Williams stimates his crop at
1000 bushels, and expects the two
orchards TO net $4,000 to $500 for
the season.
