FINED $4,000 AS A "raUsr.-
Harvester Company Settles for
Breaking the Arkansas LAW.

law
The international Harvester Company
surrendered to the State of Arkansas
rather thar stand Trial on an indictment
of violating the antitrust laws of that
State. The company, through a repre-
sentative in Chicago, agreed to plead
guilty and pay a fine of $4,000 on each
OF two counts, making 10000. The
costs, il is said. will amount to $4,000
more. A year ago the State of Arkansas
collected $4,000 in fines from an east
ern Insurance company.
The exclusive contract clause" forbid
ding agents to handle anything but the
agricultural implements manufactured by
the trust formed the basis of the harvest
er prosecution. The company admitted
that this clause was in their contracts.
1t also admitted that it existed in the
contracts for some time after an extreme
ly stringent antitrust law was passed in
Arkansas in March. 1905. The harvester
company, while acknowledging hat the
exclusive contract clause existed in agree
nlents with its agents in Arkansas for
some months in 1909, representatives of
the corporation said that il had since
been stricken from contracts in all States.
Texas, Missouri and Michigan, like Ar
kansas, have strong antitrust laws.
There were two cases. one against the
international Harvester Company and
The other against the International Har-
vester Company of America. Each cor
poration, under a compromise, admitted
TO doing business in violation of the law
for fifty days. The fine is 5000 a day,

Attorney General Rogers left Chicago

I'VE are getting to like twisting the tails
Of the trusts. We have now beaten the

think we will begin at once to go after
several others that are openly violating
the law"

100 Jews and twenty Christians and
the wounded at 80 Jews and seven
Christians.
The question Of The origin of the
massacre was carefully investigated.
Although many of the Jews denied that
a bomb was thrown at the Corpus
Christi procession, the fact that a bomb
was thrown is established beyond a
doubt, but the question of who threw
the bomb remains unsettled.
At first the Jews fought with revolt
yers and bombs, and with their weap-
ons the majority Of the Christian vic
tins were killed. But the Jews were
o overwhelmed and fled for shelter
like rabbits to warrens, into cellars or
attics. The soldiers watched this chase
and 5utchery, sometimes laughing with
Indifference, but never failing to fire
into houses where Jews, sometimes to
the number of 100, were making a stand
against their assailants.

ORGY AND PILLAGE.
STORY OF THE BuTcHERY AT
BlALYSTOK.
Drunken Mobs Sack and Burn Jew
ish Houses and Tear to Pieces
Victims of Their savage Ferocity
Riot Lasts Three Days.

The anti-Jewish Rating at Bialystok,
Russia, seems now ended. The troops
are in full control, and in view of the
outcry raised it Is certain that the au-
thorities will not permit a renewal of
the horrors witnessed at Bialystok. The
entire region is greatly excited owing
to fear that the Bialystok massacre was
only the signal for a general attack on
the Jews throughout the pale and in
Poland, but If any such conspiracy ex-
listed 1t is too late to carry out the
plans, as the most imperative orders to
prevent further outbreaks have been
issued to the governors and governors
general from st. Petersburg.
When the Associated Press CORE
spondent arrived at Bialystok the worst
was already over, but on all sides there
was revolving evidence of savage bes-
TALLY on the part of the blood-drunken
mobs, which sacked and burned the
jewish houses, shops and stores. For
seventy-two hours, with a slight abate-
ment during the daytime, the mad orgy
of blood and pillage went on unchecked.
The inhumanlty displayed would have
done credit to the Mongol hordes of
Genghis Khan in his conquests of China
and central Asia in the thirteenth cen
fury.
AT first police and troops urged on
the mob, but finally, when dismayed by
the bloody deeds accomplished, they re-
~luctantly sought to obey the orders of
their superiors to put an end 10 the
work of the rapacious bands of roughs,
who were SO far beyond control of the
local forces that regiment after regi-
ment had to be thrown into the city be-
fore order could be restored.
During the rioting the Jews were
hunted down by ferocious pursuers,
who, in the majority of cases, were not
content with killing more victims, but
tore them to pieces, like wild animals,
And while this was in progress the
troops either stood idly by, or, as was
more frequently the case, fired into the
houses and shops where Jews were con-

Asricuiture Census o. X.

The report of the Keep commission on
the agricultural census of 1900 sustains
the accuracy of the bureaus figures. The
commission is low preparing to probe the
affairs OF the Interior Department, as or
dered by the President and suggested by
Secretary Hitchcock. No attention will
be paid to the land frauds. More indict-
ments have been returned against western
lumbermen, who have come into large
tracts of timber lands through Illegal
practices. The Secretary is now after
cattlemen in South Dakota and other
States, who are accused with engaging

Whether it is also to be regarded as mark

upon which not all Republicans agree.

The pessimist is the clog on the
wheeles of progress. He never be-
lieves anything can be accomplished
in the way of improvement. He
casts doubt on the honesty of every
man and woman whose names pass
his lips. To him there are no honest
men, no virtuous women. There is
something wrong with the very sun
shine and he is happy only when re-
failing some scandle or voicing some
damnable suspicion.
But there is no way to get rid OF
him. He is a part Of the great
economy of nature. There has to al
ways a certain amount of bitter with
every sweet and every joy is tinged
with a shade of sorrow, no matter
what it's source. He is the man
with the muck rake" in every com
munity, going around stirring up the
unpleasant and unprofitable-yea,
V a positive aetriment to the little
world he inhabits. His very shadow
has a sister cast as he trudges along
the sidewalk, stepped in despair, ooz
ing misery and malice at every pore.
This is a pretty good old world,
and it has many pleasures for all of
us if we will but look for them. A
man can find whatever he is looking
for, it is said, but we sometimes
wonder why the pessimist could not
have been left out of it. We have
bed bugs, flies, mosquitoes, snakes,
ETC., but they are all welcome miser-
les in comparison with that human
scorpion who stings every one he
meets.

on the wrong side of every picture
and real happiness is an unknown
quantity to him. Accost him at any
time and he will cast gloom and dis

Trout are beginning to rise to the

be too clouded for flies. The present
warm weather has brought the river
up again and the water will be too
high for good fishing for the next ten
days. After that the sport will be
fast and furious again. 1t is a
mighty poor man in this town who is
not the owner of "a pair of waders, an
expert" reel, fine bamboo rod and a
