STANDARD OIL INDICTED.
Chicago Grand Jury Finds Nineteen
Charges Against the Company.
ing Concessions from Railroads
Fines May BE $3SO,OOO.

Chicago Aug. 9.-The federal grand
jury returned an indictment Wednes'
day afternoon against the Standard
Oil company, charging it with having
illegally received a railroad rebate on
storage charges.
The Indictment contains nineteen
counts, each count constituting sep
arate charge. The true bills come
under the Elkins law, which provides
fine of from $1,000 to $4,000 for
each violation. Under this indictment
should the government procure a con-
viction on the trial of the issue, a
fine of $3S0,000 as maximum under
the Elkins law may be assessed.
The indictment alleges that by a
system of granting the Standard On
company certain concessions the oil
company benefited to the extent Of
$S,50672 during a period of time from
August 1903 to February, 1905. The
indictment, as explained by the gov
eminent attorneys, means that in
nineteen instances certain consign-
mentS OF oil Tor the standard vi coln'
pany were stored by the Lake Shore
& Michigan Southern railroad COM
pany and that the railroad company
received no payment of five cents
per ton per day from the oil COM
pany for such storage, but that its
competitors were compelled to pay
this amount This is equivalent to
granting a concession, it is charged,
the nonpayment of the storage charg-
es being practically a rebate in favor
of the oil company. Each count sets
ND a discrimination of from $500 to
$500 a month in favor of the oil com
pany. 1t will be necessary for off,
Gals of the Standard Oil company to
appear in court and present bond of
$25, 900 for the corporation.

Little cIothsspIn Lore.

Clothespins that have been boiled
for ten or fifteen minutes will out
last those that have not been sub
jected to this process. After using
clothespins should not be left exposed
to the air and dust, but put away
clean and dry. Many careless maids
have a senseless practice Of tossing
them on the ground when taking down
the clothes. To avoid this. make her
a clothespin bed-ticking apron, with
a large pocket across the bottom. Be
fore going out to hang or take in the
clothes, tie this about the waist. hav'
ing the pocket filled with pins when
going out. and instruct her to put the
pins directly in when taking down
the clothes. In cold weather achirs
fingers can be prevented by heating
the pins in the oven just before going
out to hang the clothes.

WATER AND EARTH ROADS.
Perfect Drainage Needed to Keep
Roadhed In Good Condition.

Without water it would be possible
to build earth roads and keep them in
repair at small expense. In humid
localities the. presence Of water makes
It very dificult TO keep any kind Of an
earth road intact Unless the drain
age is perfect, the earth road win be
constantly needing repairs, and some
OF these repairs win have to be very
extensive ones. Prof Ira Baker. OF
the University Of Illinois, has made
a close study Of earth roads for a
good many years. He expresses the
belief that every country road should
have its drainage assisted by drain
tile laid in one Of the bitches to a
depth Of three OF four feet below the
surface. II the tile can be placed on
each side Of road. II will doubtless
prove even more effective than If laid
on one side OF a road. The latter
course viii, however. generally prove
effective II the road is constructed
with that arrangement In view. II
would be better II the tile could be
get fair flow Of water the grade
the cost of placing tile there is so
great that 1t is better to use the side
bitches. The professor says that to
placed in the middle Of the road, but
should not be less than one inch in
80 feet. The cost Of putting in five
inch tile varies from 5000 to $3.50 per
mile, including material Whether or
not tile is used. side bitches are nee
essary. This needs to be said be-
cause some people hold the opinion
that where tile is used side bitches
are not necessary and that the road
can be fat This kind Of road viii
not do in a rainy country. The
bitches. however. need not be deep,
but should be broad. This viii give
a gentler flow to the water. II the
bitches are broad rather than deep it
will be possible to have an easy slope
toward the road. This will prevent
serious accidents from vehicles get
ting into the bitches. Such arrange
ment will often save loaded wagons
from being broken. At every little
distance along the side bitches, out
let's should be provided. says the
Farmers Review. so that the water
will not have to be carried for long
distances in the side bitches. II the
water cannot quickly get out OF the
side ditch. its volume must increase
the further It goes. and deep channels
will be quickly cut In the bottoms and
sides OF the bitches. This means
damage to the road from erosions and
caving-in. The crown of the road
should be sufficiently hard to insure
the rapid running of Of the water into
the side ditches II II can sink into
the crown of the road II will soften
It to such an extent that 1t can be
cut up by wheels. To keep the road
in good condition. it is necessary to
keep the crown as impervious to wa
ter as rNssible. For keeping the sur
faces of earth roads in good condi-
tion. Prof. Baker recommends drag
ging by means Of railroad rail, heavy
timber or split log.

Men and Women Who Nag
Fault Finding Husbands and Wires an Everlasting
Cause of Discomfort in the Home-No Excuse
for Such Conduct.

OF perpetual fog. Very likely there is
physical basis for the weak com
plants that make home unbearably
doleful. and yet we have all seen in
valid chambers that were bright as
the sun. and have seen invalid faces
that have not forgotten the trick Of
smiles
The reason for both fault-hnding
and nagging is easily explained. The
root lies deep down in human selfish
ness. Too much thought about non-
essentials and too much stress on
details OF no importance are at the
bottom of both these habits.
The tendency to make ones self dis
agreeable should be resisted, particu-
larly in the intimacy OF home life.
Those who know and love one another
most fondly are often overcandid. are
quick TO make unkind speeches and to
forget that a fine chain armor OF
politeness should shield us and ours
from the wounds made by harsh and
brutal speech. II only people were
decently polite in their intercourse
with those who are their nearest
OF kin, far less would be heard
about Misunderstanding incompati-
bility and other riffs within the Lutte
that surely make the music mute.
Habits have a way of hardening so
that after a while they form crust
over better nature Of man or woman.
and are so firmly welded that to
breok them is almost impossible.
When they are ingrained in the fiber
of character and are no longer fiexi-
BILE. It II well that they should be good
and not bad. Bondage to bad habits
makes misery inevitable.
In the great crises Of life few Of
US fail. We grid ourselves when the
battle is against us. and we meet
calamity and disaster with stern en-
durance and heroic courage.
II is in the little things Of small ac-
count. one by one. but mighty In the
aggregate that we find temptation.
Sometimes we excuse our nagging
or faultnnding by complacently say
ing that we have fastidious tempera-
ments or are naturally impulsive, or
speak beffSe we think. None OF these
apologies are valid. We should con-
troll our temperaments. We do con-
troll them every day in the market,
the once and the arena Of business ef-
fort We should think before we
speak. Unless a man is king Of HIM
self. he is no happier than slave.
An old saying of wisdom is eternal
ly and profoundly true. Better Is he
that ruleth his spirit. than he that
taketh a city"

Reports from different parts Of the
country say that farm laborers are
very scarce. This must continue to
be the case. for the good farm labor
ers are those that have had expert
ence in farming. More and more the
farmer must turn to machinery for
the supplying Of the lack that comes
with the scarcity of farm laborers.
This drives to the vicinity of the
cities and large towns such industries
as growing sugar beets and raising
onion sets. both of which require
much hard work. From some sec
tons come reports that the farmer is
doing what work he can do himself
and letting the rest go. This is never
profitable. It accounts for the fields
Of corn and other products that are
seen to be overgrown with weeds.

1t is wise thing to throw out old
medicine. Keeping it is rash econ
omy, as many drugs lose their
strength while others deteriorate and
become dangerous to take. Then the
same physical conditions do not often
occur, and 1t is always safer to get a
new prescription. or at least have the
old one freshly put up. Besides. If old
bottles accumulate. one is apt to for
get what they contain. and in an emer-
gency seize on the wrong one. with
serious results.

A JURY OF uNLEARNED MEN.
Not One Of Them Could Reaa or Write
Word.

Il have been engaged in the prac-
tice Of law a. good many years" said
S. S. Urmy. police judge Of Topeka.
Kan. one DAY recently, and about the
most humorous thing l ever saw in a
court room was in Topeka.
"One day an old negro man was be-
ing tried in the justice court, that was
before the ONCE Of police Judge was
created. and he demanded a trial by
jury Of his peers. He could neither
read nor write and his lawyer insisted
that the jury. to be his peers, as re-
Quired by law, must be unable to read
or write, too. To avoid disputes I
agreed to It, but We had time find
ing II men in Topeka who could
neither read nor write. But we did
find them and the case went to trial.
Before the jury retired I took two
pieces of paper and wrote Guilty on
one piece and Not guilty on the
other and instructed the foreman OF
the jury to destroy the one he did
not wish used and to return the other
to me when the jury had reached a
verdict The jury was out only few
minutes when 1t came In. The fore
man handed me piece Of paper with
the word Guilty written on II.
Well. gentlemen. you find him
guilt, 40 your ! asked.
No. sab. iedge. no. sab. we done
found him not guilty spoke up one Of

LUNDQUIST
By NORMAN H. cROWELL


Jim close at his heels. with his tail
down dejectedly.
An hour later the two emerged
from the door OF the bank. Aimlessly
they strolled along the dismal street
until they came to where the team
was tied A mile out on the open
prairie the youth turned in his seal
and shook his clenched fist at the
receding town. Once he glanced up
ward-then settled firmly In q
straight stare ahead. and SO remained
till the cabin was reached.
That might he did not go to bed.
He sat and walked and babbled to the
dog till daybreak. In the morning
he eyed the rising sun with bloodshot
eyes. His body quivered with the
protests Of abused nerves and his
cheeks we're sunken from lack Of
nourishment
Won hunderd dollars!" he said.
bitterly.
That day he visited the bank three
different times. The last time he
stood in the doorway and told the
banker a few Of the hot things that
ranked in his brain. Old Jim stood
ASIDE and snarled.
He visited the store and asked for
food. When the storekeeper suggest
ed pay, he cursed beneath his breath
and left the place. He went to the
post ofice with letter he had writ
ten to Hilda-a letter filed with
scalding tears and heart burnings
The postmaster spoke to him. asking
II he was sending the money on to
the girl. Lundquist clenched his
teeth tightly and rushed out to con.
ceaI the tears that stole unrepressed
down his cheeks.
Two days later a letter came. It
was cold and formal. Hilda had re
turned to Norway. Lundquist stun
bled awkwardly when Banks read the
letter and thrust his elbow through a
pane of glass. Banks. glancing up,
made light of the accident.
Don't worry about that. Carll" he
remarked, "Tll fix that"
"Ay get yo glassl" said Lundquist,
hoarsely, as he went out.
At the hardware store he brought
forth his paltry store Of siIver-four
dollars in all. The glass took one Of
these. Inside the case something
caught his eye-something shiny and
cold. He inquired its price.
~Two-nfty." said the man, "and It's
a ssl"
Lundqulst slid the money hesitat
ingly across the glass counter and
took the object gingerly in his hand.
Flushed and trembling. he started for
the door.
"WaItl You want-you1l need
some Of these." called the proprietor
as he slid out some little boxes.
ia. Won boxl" said Lundquist.
II was late that night when the two
reached the lone cabin on the prai-
rie. The dog sat on the floor before
his master and licked his lips ex-
pectantly, but his master needed him
not-he was reading, reading, read
ing Hilda's letters.
Two weeks later the newspaper at
the county seat printed the following:
"A party of sportsmen made a
gruesome find in sod shanty 12
miles north of E. last week. At
tracted by the mournful bowling Of
a shepherd dog they drew uD and
entered. The body Of young Scan
dinavian lay upon the earth floor
with bullet wound in his forehead.
Numerous letters scattered about
create the impression that he com
mitted the deed in fit of homesick-
ness or despondency. The dog re-
fused to leave the spot. although
wasted to a skeleton by hunger and
exposure"
