SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-De-
partment Of justice officials ex-
pressed today the opinion that
the decision of Judge Landis
against the Standard oil COM
pany, rendered Saturday IN the
federal court at Chicago. would
be finally disposed Of by the court
of appeals early next winter at
the latest. 1t was pointed out
that no appeal to the supreme
court would lie in this case, be-
cause the prosecution originated
with the department of justice
and the issues involved were
criminal and not civil.
Under the law of February II,
1908, cases originating with the
interstate commerce commission
for violations of the Interstate
commerce act were made appeal-
able to the supreme. court, but
the appeal must apply to civil
action. This provision was for
the purpose OF facilitating decisions
by the higher courts in injuncsions ss-
cured by the commission
The supreme court can. by writ OF
certiorari. grant an appeal to 1t in the
Standard oil case. but precedent IN
that court has heretofore limited appeals
IN criminal cases to persons sentenced
to death.
The Standard oil company. which
contends the fine of s2S.24O.Oao is CON
hscatory. may declare the Lands de-
cision is a capital punishment so Tar
as the corporation is concerned" said
member Of the department today.
While no opinion on the decision OF
Judge Lands was given for pub1ica-
tion at the department today, 1t was
said privately that the governments
fully expected an appeal not only en-
the conhscatory allegation or the
Standard oil company. but It also be-
lieved an attempt would be made be-
fore the court OF appeals to limit the
punishment of the company to one
count. the heaviest fine for which
would be only $4,000.
1t was said at the department that
the allegation of confiscation made by
the company would hardly hold. mas

In asking that the. various roads val
ues be raised, Nye stated that the Cen
tral Pacific had been reduced from
$24.0o0,000 in 1884 to s1S,000,000 in
1882, and that for 1S years it had re-
NAMED stationary at those figures. The
assessments of this and other roads
Nye said were in accordance with the
financial statements issued by the d.
rectors and were about one-third lower
than they should be.

for divorce on the ground of cruelty.
The winsome bride of year charges
that another woman has supplanted
her in her husbands affections.
The interloper. according to the COM
plant, is Mrs. S. H. Quinby, woman
of queenly beauty, to whom it is al

November at the Wilson home in this
city.
Nagle and his pretty bride went east
for a month on a honeymoon tour and
then. returned TO Pinehurst To the
surprise of the bride. she found Mrs.
Q1inby there. Nagle hastily explained,
the complaint proceeds. that Mrs.
Quinby and himself were joint owners
of the fruit farm and that she would
in no wise interfere in the home.
Mrs. Nagle continues her story as
follows:
Trusting my husband I made no
comment about Mrs. Quinby and she
continued to live at the house. the
understanding being that she was in
no wise to disturb my management as
wife and mistress. But my husbands
Itquieting explanations proved utterly
untrue. I was placed in a sl1amefully
false position and humiliated in most
unjust, cruel and inhuman manner.
Almost Immediately after we were
installed at Pinehurst my husband
attitude toward me changed. During
the time that 1 remained there my
husband was all attention to Mrs
Quinby and 1 became as a servant in
my own home. She took charge OF

Give Them Typcwritcrs.

One of the demands made by the
striking telegraphers is that the COM
panies furnish typewriters for the use
of the operators in receiving messages.
1t is remarkable that the companies
have not done this long ago. Brokers,
manufacturers, newspapers, press as
soCiations and many other industries
furnish typewriters and consider them
a part Of their plant, just as are
desks. linotype machines or otha.

And then, it is a great convenience to
patrons of the telegraph offices to Sc;
typewriter messages.
To newspapers, typewriter copy
is now almost essential to good results
as it expediates the work of copy
readers and helps towards accuracy
Not only should the typewriter be
part of the telegraph Office, but y
should be a part of the telegrapher'
education to understand how to U.s.

Salt.

The country is not likely to suffer for
considering the great amount of salt
in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans that
can be extracted without limit. The
salt i'll Salt Lake, the great salt beds
of New York, Michigan, Kansas, and
other localities. is in such quantities it
would appear that we would have plen-
lty to season our beefsteaks forever.
Another great discovery has recently
been made. The engineers who are
building the Western Pacific railroad
from Salt Lake City to San Francisco
have discovered a body of salt which is
already known to be at least eight
miles wide and forty miles long. 1t has
| been blasted into to set telegraph poles
and no bottom has been found to it to
as great a depth as eight feet, and its
depth, which is doubtless considerably
| beyond that, is yet unknown. 1t is
said to stretch away toward the hori
ZOn in unbroken lines of white like q
great cloud, and the like of it cannot
be seen any place else in the world
| 1t is salt crystal, and so hard and sc
solid that without any other ballast
the cross ties laid upon the bed do moi
give under the 50,000-pound engines
that pass over them. 1t is said to be
9S per cent pure.
| Under these circumstances the piect
of railway passing over this bed SHOULD

.ple of the United States need give
themselves no uneasiness about being
short of salt.

The Wisconsin railroads this year
will pay about 100000 more in taxes
than they paid last year and last yea
they paid about 100000 more than
they did the year before that. This

gressive game of which the majority
of people will. approve, and if it e
kept long enough the railroads viii
have to raise the freight rates ana

THE WONIAN'S PART.

The one redeeming almost sacred
feature of the disgrace and imprison-
ment of ex-senator ]. r. Burton of
Kansas. is the fidelity and constancy
OF his wife, whom it is said by those
familiar with Burton's life, that he
grossly wronged in the past.
Although his immoral escapades
while in the Kansas legislature and
elsewhere in his varied public life,
are common newspaper talk and COM
mon knowledge all over Kansas, yet
this little woman went with him
through his disgrace, remained at his
side when he entered the Jail at IRON
ton, Mo-, and said with a flash in her
eye, that she was prouder of him that
day than ever before!
Would Burton do as much for her,
should the conditions be reversed?
Would any large proportion of men
in any community do this much for
wife whose life was, questionable?

A Little Lesson in New
Thought

If the instructive mind contains
that which is considered most in us,
the spiritual mind holds all that is
best. There is no thought of re-
venge or cruelty in it, but only love
ana kindness. Some call 1t our
guardian angel.
A Sunday school story will illus
trate the workings of the instructive
and spiritual minds: An Indian boy
said. bad man said steal it'-good
man said not right Bad man said
nobody see,' good man said God
see.'" So the discussion went from
bad to good man and finally good
man won.
AS children we were told the bad
| man was the devil and the good man
| our conscience or our guardian an
gel. We were taught to look for the
| good and evil influence outside our
| selves-not within.
Under new thought we are told
to look within and examine that cage
of animals in our instructive mind.
Look within and eXplcre the great
| treasures of the spiritual mind.
Good and bad are but relative
terms that you will understand bet
ter as you advance. To the burned
child, fire is bad. Later in life it is
good.
The instructive mind is of the
body and will crafty the body if you
let it rule you. If you are partially
develored (and most of US are) the
spiritual mind tries 10 lead you high
er. Constant promptings are given:
This is not right" "that is not hon
orable," do your duty" etc. And
cold reason will aralyze and sum up
as the Indian boy did. Reason is
cold and spirit is warm.
Not many ages ago suffering did
not hurt people as it does now. Hon.
est people burned so-called witches
at the stake. Many other crueltle:
we're practlced that make you shud-
der as you read them today.
Your spiritual mind is more devel
oped now. You have commenced tc
feel your brothers pain. We have
societies for the prevention of cruel
ty to animals. Our great 2randfa
theirs did not. AS we progress our dew
IL will keep getting smaller and Coo
will be our all in all.
In summing up the functions o
the three minds you have probabl.
realized :hat the Spirit-the real
in you-may have inherited tn
spiritual mind as the body inherited
the instructive mind, while the in
tellect is a record of this life.

THE GAMBLING MANIA.

Jacob Riis has an excellent short
article in April Century magazine on
the gambling mania in the United
States.
Everywhere you go, he says, you
find men speculating, guessing, plac-
ing their money on future prospects,
taking a chance on this and that ven-
ture and going wild over gambling
enterprises.
In the smoking car you hear farm
ers talking excitedly over the prospec-
tive rise or fall of grain prices; in
the Pullman cars you hear capitalists
speculating, with a hint of the heart
ache in their eyes, on the tottering
fortunes Of some favorite stock on the
exchanges; in the hotel lobbies bus
iness men whisper of the fall or rise
Of speculative schemes on which they
placed their money and everywhere
are the burning signal fires of the
consuming mania OF gambling.
The worst form of gambling is not
found at the race tracks nor at the
gaming tables. These forms deal
largely with individuals and their
ruin and is narrow compared to the
commercial and Industrial gambling
in which the welfare of communities
cities and states are at stake.
