condition being critical.
Newton and William Phipps are
prominent farmers in Dodge township
They discovered a gang of six or eight
in their melon patch running a large
number OF melons. They went out
and protested against the destruction
Of the melons but told the men they
could take several large ones sufficient

what is known as The Prairies," had
been drinking. A short time after

and from the loss Of blood that they
could scarcely move or talk. Medical

Women as Inventors.

In reply to the charge that women
are lacking in mechanical ingenuity,
it Is asserted that many Of the most
valuable inventions patented by men
in reality represent ideas conceived
in the brains OF their wives, their
sisters and their daughters. Eli Whit
ney's famous cotton gin is said tc
have been merely the application OF
device first thought out by woman
the widow Of Gen. Nathaniel Greene.
The "Ccston light" which is used by
our life-saving service, and by mar
liners all over the world, for signaling
at night-it burns like red fire-is q
woman's invention, says the Technical
World Magazine. So, likewise, is the
paper bag with a satchel bottom
which was the idea of Miss NJ. E
Knight The machine by which
comb foundation" as it is called. fol
bee hives, is made, was patented by
Frances A. Durham, In 1881. 1t saves
bees half the labor of honeycomb con
struction by turning out wax sheets
which, suspended in the hives, serves
as basis to build the combs upon
But the most wonderful point about
the continuance is that, the cells out
lined in relief on the wax being al
of worker" size, those of them that
are utilized by the insects for nurs
cry purposes will produce only work
er bees, thus avoiding the propaga
ton Of idle drones.

A sermon IN -rss,ou. stones

- S~sHhSss 80 ~sS''~~
In all ages at the world the meas
ure OF nations prosperity has been
gagged by the luIuries with which
the people surrounded themselves.
This is as true now as II was in the
days Of Roman conquest, and 1t is
shown particularly in a recent OH
cial statement concerning the impor.
tation into this country of South Al
ricaR diamonds. Last year $4,000
aeo of these precious stones found
their way into the United States.
When Speaker Cannon uttered his
emphatic and unique declaration con-
corning this country's success he only
declared a fact, says the Phlladel'
phia Press. The past ten years.
Judged by the Importation Of diamonds
alone, has been the most prosperous
and successful this country has ever
known. In 1897 the imports OF dia.
nonds in round numbers exceeded
1880, 900. although the price pc.
carat was not nearly as high as 1t has
been since. This wonderful increase
shows that there Is a demand for
them. and the demand is an indica-
ton that the people have the money
wherewith to purchase them Dia'
monds are an ulfailing indication OF
prosperity. The first thing ths aver.
age man does when he gets little
ahead in the world is TO by a dia'
nond shirtstUd or diamond earrings
tor his wife. The more money he
makes the more diamonds he buys,
and that men have been making
money and that the country is IN
usually prosperous is indicated o.
these figures On diamonds.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY IS
INDICTED ON 6,428 COUNTS

| placed at the minimum of $4,000, the
total of the fines would reach the as
founding figure of s12S,56O,0O0.
Standard Oil promises to contest the
battle at every step, and the first
strife will come when District Attor-
ney Morrison appears before Judge
Bethea to ask that the company be
required to furnish bonds for it's ap-
pearance to answer the indictments.
John S. Miller, who has been re-
tanned as special counsel by Standard
Oil, will resent the plea for bond. Mr..
Miller said:
On the earlier indictment Judge
Bethea fixed the bond of the Standard
Oil company at $4,000, which has not
been given as yet. If the same ratio
is pursued the total demanded would
exceed sS,OO0,O00.
Laughs at Bond Plea.
The Standard Oil company does
not propose to resort to obstructive
tactics and will not unnecessarily de-
lay the hearing of the cases. 1t is
ridiculous, however, to ask the Stand
ard Oil company to give bond for its
appearance in court. The company
cannot run away. l have never heard
of a corporation being compelled to
give bail in criminal prosecution
The indictments returned far ex-
coed any advance estimate of what
the two grand juries have been doing
in their secret sessions, yet it is de-
clared to be apparent that the reports
are but the beginnings of the govern.
ment's battle against Standard Oil.
The indictments referred simply to re-
bate giving and receiving, and were
returned as under the Elkins inter-
state commerce law of 1887. The
vastly more important phase of the
proceedings Itch are now the upper
most endeavors of the Roosevelt ad-
ministratio1 as betokened by the
policy which has been mapped out
by the president and Attorney Gen
eral Moody is to bring Standard Oil
to an accounting as violating the
Sherman antitrust law, as a corpora.
ton acting in restraint of trade.

TWO SPECIAL GRAND JURIES AT
CHICAGO RETURN TEN TRUE
BILLS FOR VIOLATION OF
ELkINS LAW.

Chicago. - The first skirmish in
the crusade of the government
against the Standard Oil com.
pany to compel the concern to COM
ply with the letter of the antitrust
and monopoly laws was ended Monday
afternoon when the two special federal
grand juries returned ten indictments
against the oil company, containing a
total number Of 6,42S counts.
In respect to the scope OF the indict-
ments the number of counts and the
voluminous nature of the documents
all records OF the federal courts was
broken and when the juries were dis
missed by Judge Bethea after three
weeks Of continuous work they had
the satisfaction of knowing that they
had hung up mark for future inves-
tigatOrS.
, The charges named in the indict
ments are violations of the Elkins
antirebate law, which prohibits the
accepting or granting of rebates on oil
and other products. The fine as fixed
by the Elkins law is not less than
$1,000 and not more than 100000 on
each count At this rate the maximum
fine which might be imposed upon the
Standard Oil company would aggre.
gate s12S.560,000.
The railroads named in the indict

grand jury, are:
Chicago, Burlington G Quincy.
Chicago & Alton.
Chicago & Eastern Illinois.
Evansville & Terre Haute.
Illinois Central.

The ten indictments very only in the
name of the railroad involved and in

have caused the illegal rebate.
