The Maximum Penalty Imposed
on the Standard Oil Co. for
Accepting Rebates.
LARGEST FINE ASSESSED.
Exceeds 1871 Times the Amount of Re-

No Better That Counter
LARGEST FINE ASSESSED,

Chicaro, Aug. 4.--Judge Xenesaw NJ.
Lands yesterday in the United States
district court fined the Standa I'd OIL COM
pany OF Indiana 500 10000 for violation of
the law against accepting rebates from
railroads.
The fine is tho largest ever assessed
against any individual or any corpora ior
In tho history of American criminal turis-
prudence, and is slightly more than ~
times as great as the amount received by
the company through its rebating opera
tons.
The case will be carried to the higher
courts by the defendant company.
The penalty imposed upon the company
is the maximum permitted under the law,
and 1t was announced al the end Of a
long opinion IN which the methods and
practices of the Standard Oil company
were merciesslv scored.
The Judge, in fact, declared In his opin-
ion that the oniclals OF the company who
were responsible for the practices Of
which the corporation was found guilty,
were no better than counterfeiters and
thieves, his exact language being:
I'VE may as we'll look at this situation
squarcly. The men who thus deliberately
violate this law wound society more deep
" than does he who counterfeits the coin
or steals letters from the mall"
Judge lands commenced reading his
decision at ten O'Clock md occupied about
one hour IN its delivery He reviewed the
facts i'm the case. took up the arguments
Of the attorneys for the defense and an
swerod them, and then passed Judgment
upon tho company. which he declared
violated tho law for the sole purpose of
swelling its dividends.
The court held that the railroads have
no moro right to make secret rate for
shipper than a board of assessors would
have 20 make a secret assessment of any
particular piece of property.
Tho court expressed regret that the law
failed to provide more serious punish
ment than a fine. but insisted that the
penalty should he sufficiently large to act
as deterrent and not of such a size as
% encourage the offender to persist in
law!essness.
At the conclusion OF mis- opinion. and
after announcing the amount of the fine,
Judge lands directed that q special
grand Jury be called for the purpose OF
'rqiiring into the acts of the Chicago &
Alton Railroad company. It having been
proved IN the case just closed that the oil
company accepted rebates from that cor
poration. This Jury is summoned for Au-
gust a.

REVIEWS IT'S ACTION.

The court then reviewed its action in
determining VI at corporation held the
stock of the defendant Standard Oil COM

a very large proportion Of the stock was
held by individuals for the stockholders
Of the Standard Oil company of New Jer-
sey. which has outstanding stock Of APP

The court discussed at length the vari-
Gus defenses offered by counsel and says
the nominal defendant is the Standard

corporation. The Standard Oil company

Modern India a Mixture.

India is not nation but simply a. collection of heterogeneous people. The mass of the population, in spite of thelr sun tanned skins. are Aryans but the yellow race is represented on the north- east borders, while the Coromandelg Coast section consists in large part of the colored race. The religious beliefs are numerous. and range from Buds dhlsts in the east pagans In the north. and Mohammedans in the northwest, through the great bulk of Hinduists in the centre. to. Buddhists and Chris tians in the extreme south. The meth-A ods of government are as diverse as tho peoples The British only claim portions of the country as British. ter- 2 ritory, and the numerous native Maha-
 rajahs, ruling masses ranging froFns' few thousand to 100000 subjects. are more in the position of allies than actual subjects. Many pay nothing tor ward the English Government, British law does not run in their territory, they levy their own taxes and tarih duties, issue ther own money, and maintain their own standing army.

No one seems to know why it does this, but 1t does and dpes 1t wonderfully. You notice the diHerence in your appetite. general good feeling and the purity of your blood right away.
 You'll have no more bad taste in your mouth or pad breath, either from drinking, eating or smoking. Other people will notice yodr bad breath quicker than you will yourself. Make your breath pure, fresh and sweet so when you talk tc others you won't disgust them. Just one or two Stuart's Charcoal LoZenges will make your breath sweet and make you feel bet ter all over for it. You can eat all the onions and odorous foods you want. and 10 one can tell tine diff ference.
 Besides. charcoal-i is the best laxative kRown., You can take a whole box ful and no harm VII result. It is a wonderfully easy regulator.
 And then. too, it filters your blood -every particle of poison or impurity fin your blood is destroyed, and you begin to notice the difference in your face first thing.-your clear complex ion.

town in Maine, an important local
election was to take place, and there
was strong rivalry between the re-
publicans and the democrats. Old
Hiram Morse, the blacksmith, was a
strong democrat, but many of the
farmers were republicans.
On the morning of the election a
farmer came Ia 10 nave his morse
shod. The blacksmith said to him:
We're both busy You're a repub.
liean and I'm democrat. Let's pair
on. Wen neither of us vote. and il
viii amount to the same as if we
both went to the polls.
Anis was agreed upon. After cleo
