is to 20 a-shepherding, to dwell close
TO the earth, to live a sweet, naturai
life. We even hire men and women
to come and talk to US about these
things, to chant to US, to lecture 10
Ga about them. Sometimes we even
try TO practice hurriedly and hysteric'
ally some Of these things which we
have In pure self hypnosis persuaded
ourselves that we ought TO like. we do
no great good by that. We effect MOTH

PRoMiscUoUs SHOOTING.

The promiscuous shooting. of which
boys and young men are guilty, came
near proving a serious matter to Mrs.
Chas. Whitehead, on Wednesday. She
was standing at the window of her
room, on Murray street, when some
impulse caused her to move to another
part of the room, when, almost imme-
diately, she heard the sound of break
ing glass and found that bullet had
passed through and lodged in the wall
on the opposite side. just on a line
with where she had stood few min
utes before.
There is entirely too much of this
sort of thing going on. Last year a
bullet pierced the glass window in our
office just where our proof reader had
been sitting only few minutes be-
fore.
There is law which Furnishes this
sort of thing, and it should be rigidly
enforced before some valuable life
pays the forfeit.

Beckham McCreary

Showing that in this highest vote
cast there were 154,084 votes polled.
This, taken from the vote given for
Gov. Beckham of about 23S,O00, leaves
S3,916 Democratic votes not cast,
which will be great surprise, as
everyone thought that such a hot
primary would bring out big vote.
These figures will set the politicians
guessing as to how this large number
of voters will cast their votes at the
next general election.

Says Pope Rejects Plan.

Paris, France-La CrOix, the semi
official organ of Cardinal Richard,
archbishop of Paris, referring to the
pope's decision regarding the attitude
of the clergy toward the law provid-
ing for the separation of church and
state, says it is not an approval OF
church associations nor of the forma-
tion of canonical association conform
able with the law, adding:
I'VE believe the pope rejects purely
and simply the formation of religious
associations, as prescribed by the law,
to conduct the affairs of the church"
The announcement of La CroiX,
which appears to be authoritative,
has caused much comment and some
solicitude, as a confirmation Of the re-
port of the Vatican's decision to this
end probably would intensity the con-
troversy. The accuracy of the an
nLuncement 10, however, r~f~--. .-.,------
doubt, as the paper makes 1t only on
belief, and as the uisuitdries or the
church, including Cardinal Richard,
have not yet officially confirmed it.
1t is declared in the highest quar-
ters that the terms of the pope's de-
cision will not become public until
after deliberation by the French bis
hops, who will probably assemble in
Paris before the end of this month.
After this meeting the instructions
of the pope will lie at once carried
out.
A prominent clergyman, connected
with the archbishOpric of Paris, has
EXPRESSED himself as certain that the
pope would safeguard the traditions
of the church without arousing re-
ligious strife through opposition to the
civil powers.
The liberal element of the clergy de-
clares that the pope's rejection of the
regulations of the new law would
bring on a condition of chaos, under
which the clergy would be unable to
organize or carry on the churches

st. Petersburg, Russia-M. Onipko,
the peasant member of the late parlia-
ment who was captured red-handed at
Krondstadt after the mutiny there,
will be tried, 1t is semi officially an
nounced, according to the rules of war,
for melting and participating in an
armed revolt the penalty being death,
The authorities are convinced that
they have a good case against M,
Onipko, and hope 1t will involve sever
al other prominent extremists In the
late douma to such an extent as to
prevent their reelection to any future
parliament.
The ministry is already beginning a
far-reuching campaign preparatory to
the election of a more tractable par
lament in December. The ministers
insist on a program that will consist
of the promulgation of definite reform
and the nomination of candidates who
will represent these instead of letting
the elections go by default, as was
the case in the defunct assembly.
The ministry disclaims all intention
of attempting to throttle public SEN
timent, but it is noticeable that its
first step was taken through the po-
lice, who were asked to report of the
possible governmental candidates for
seats.
The last session of the cabinet was
devoted to measures Of famine relief,
recognized as one of the most urgent
problems in the administration, as
well as being an. eloquent campaign
argument.
1t was decided to recommend to the
emperor an additional credit of $685.
5OO, coo in addition to the $500, 900
voted by parliament for this use, S25,-
100000 of which is to provide food and
employment and keep the stricken
population from starvation and the re-
mainder for the purchase Of seed
grain.
The cabinet also voted to extend the
state of extraordinary reinforced Sc
curity" to all districts OF the empire.
where the semi-annual limit is about
to expire.

Shot Wife For a BURGLAR.

Lawell, Mass.-Daniel G. Ashton, a
the head one morning recently at their
home on Moody street, near the ORA
cut line. The woman was brought TO
the Lowell hospital.
The 32-caliber bullet was extracted
during the day. 1t is said the woman
will recover. No report of the case
was made to the police until it was
hospital. The city ambulance was
not used to convey her there.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ashton insist that the
shooting was accidental Ashton says
he was awakened by the barking OF
dogs and the cries of his wife. His
first thought was that burglars were
attempting to force an entrance to
the house, and grabbing his revolver
he ran down stairs.
In the yard he saw figure mov-
ing from him and he fired into the
ground to cause the person to stop.
The second shot was at the figure,
which proved to be his wife. The bull
let reached its mark.
Mr.. Ashton summoned assistance
and by order of a physician the in
jured woman was taken to the Lowell
hospital, where the operation was per-
formed. The bullet lodged in the head,
back of the left ear and the drum.
Mrs. Ashton says she was aroused by
the barking of dogs and without wax
ing her husband she went. from her
chamber to investigate. She was net
aware he had been aroused until she
heard the first shot from the revolver.
The noise of the dogs, and her husz
bands halI-awakened condition, she
supposes. caused him to- fire the sec
ond shot in the belief that she was a
burglar
Mr.. Ashton is employed to run a
dummy engine by the fremont & Suf-
folk company and bears good reputa-
ton. He is about 35 years, old and
his wife is about the same age.

Steamer DAMAGES Schooner.

New London, COMM dense fog
Wednesday morning the steamer City
If Taunton of the New Bedford line
was in collision with the three-masted
schooner Rebecca w. Huddell, the lat
ter vessel being considerably dam
aged
The Huddell, in command of Capt. l..
W. Scott, was bound from st. John, N.
B., to New York, with lumber. The
schooner was between four and five
miles west of Sand shoals, off Say
brook, when the Taunton bore down
upon her in the fog and tore away all
Of her forward rigging, bowsprit, jib-
boom and fgurehead and capstan.
The schooner had her starboard bull
warks smashed and a hole stove in
her side close to the paddle box. The
steamer towed the Huddell into New
London harbor, where she was tied
up for repairs. The Huddell is owned

Chicago.-An indictment charging
the Standard Oil company with receiv-
! ing rebates in the form OF nonpayment
Of storage charges to certain railroad
companies was returned by the feder-
al grand jury before Judge S. II. Be-
thea on August 8. the Indictment
came as a surprise, inasmuch as the
grand jury had just begun the inves-
tigation. The Standard Oil company
Is the only defendant, no officials OF
the company and no railroad compan-
les or officials being named.
The bond of the defendant was fixed
by Judge Bethea at $4,000. This is
the case investigated by the grand
Jury in Cleveland, where it was found
that the grand jury had no jurisdic-
tion. The testimony taken there was
transferred to Chicago, and the docu-
ments in evidence were identified by
witnesses who testified in Cleveland.
1t was on this testimony and evil
dence that the indictment was return
ed so quickly.
The grand jury Immediately re-
sumed it's session to take up the inves-
tigation of the charge that the Stand
ard Oil company was given direct re-
bates by some railroads.
The indictment contains 10 counts,
each count constituting a separate
charge. The true bills come under
The Elkins law, which provides a fine
Of from $1,000 to $4,000 for each vio-
Iation. Under this indictment, should
The government procure a conviction
on the trial of the issues, a fine of
I3S0,000 as a maximum under the FL
kins law may be assessed.
The indictment alleges that by a
system of granting the Standard Oil
company certain concessions, the oil
HS,506.72 during a period of time from
August, 1903, to February, 1905. The
Indictment, as explained by the gov
ernment's attorneys, means that in
l9 instances certain consignments of
oil for the Standard Oil company were
stored by the Lake Shore and Michi-
gan Southern railroad company, and
that the railroad company received
no payment of five cents per ton per
day from the oil company for such
storage, but that it's compstitor1 v,e-o
compelled to pay this amount. This
Is equivalent to granting concession,
t is charged, the nonpayment Of the
storage charges being practically a
rebate in favor of the oil company.
Each count sets up a discrimination
Of from $500 to $500 a month in favor
Of the oil company.
1t will be necessary for officials of
The Standard OF! company to appear
In court and present bond of $4,000
TOR the corporation.
