at him while he was in the courtroom and help
the District Attorney in getting up his case.

One of the interstate coml

One of the interstate commerce commissioners spoke with some inter- est recently of the obvious receding by the railroads from their first posi- tion of antagonism to state regula- tion of rates. It was announced wide ly and authoritatively at the time the movement for two cent. or two and one-quarter cent fares spread so widely over the country, that the railroads would get even" by rais- ing their communication rates and by abandoning all excursion rates. It seemed apparent that this policy would be almost universally adopted, but early this week at a conference of representative officials of lines do- ing business in Ohio. Indiana and Illinois it was definitely determined to make no such movement hostile to public interests The commissioner referred to. remarked that in the pre- sent temper of the country the rail- roads were not desirous of stirring up any more public antagonism than that they are now encountering. While the people may not be quite ready for government ownership and the newspaper press certainly not ready to advance it. there is enough of that sentiment in the air to incline railroad managers to obey the law
 It is in the south that they are most defiant, and it is in the south that the people suffer most from insufi. cient accommodations. high rates, and an almost total ack of competi- tiOn.

The substitution of some material
 for oak in wine cooperage has be-
 come a serious question. Wine mak- CTS and coopers realize that with the growing scarcity of the supply upon which the country has drawn for oak slaves, something else will have to be found to take it's place. This situa- tion is emphasized by the fact that with diminishing supply there is coupled a constant and rapidly in- creasing demand. In an effort to meet this condition and to solve the grave difficulty involved, the Califor- nia Wine association has hit upon a novel idea. It offers a magnificent trophy at the coming Interstate Ex- position of Irrigation and Forestry which will be held in Sacramento, in for the best substitute for oak in wine cooperage. This step will greatly stimulate interest in the matter among those engaged in the development and hand ling of forest products. and ought to serve, in a measure, to bring nearer the solution of very important prob. lem.

Jesse R. Grant, of New York, has adopted novel course in politics. He is touring the country to discover whether he has any chance of receiv- ing the democratic nomination for the presidency. MT Grant is little known to the people of the country, and thinks it prudent to let them find out something about him before he concludes whether he will ask them to support him or not. He has some strong friends in the democratic party, and would, no doubt, draw many votes from the old soldier ele- ment among the republicans, if he were nominated. He favors revis- ion of the tariff and further regula- tion of corporations. Unlike his il- lustrious father, MT Grant, 1t is said, has always voted the democratic ticket. a

Driving Into Nets.

In the old days every southern gen. tleman had his net for quail. The drive was an event in the county. Our youth of to-day may never enjoy such sport In the proper season the neigh bors were invited. All came on horse back. for while quail will rise from the approach of dog or man, they will run along the ground ahead of gentle horse. Much skill was required to drive a covey into the net. As many as 30 horsemen would form a semi. circle and slowly. patiently. silently make the roundup. all driving toward the common center, yet from one gen eral direction only. and that always against the wind The net had been set facing the wind An impatient man on a fractions horse might des- troy the work of half a day by flush ing entire coFeys.

To know truly what the rebel yell" was. one must have heard it with the din and the roar of the rifles and the thunder of the artillery: with the shrieks of the wounded and the groans of the dying: must have seen mother earth being discolored with the rich blood of valorous men.
