Imposes a Fine of $29,240,O 900 on the
Standard Oil Monopoly.

Judge Kenesaw M. Lands Satur-
day in the United States district
court fined the Standard Oil Com
pany of Indiana 29,24O, 900 for viola
tons of the law against accepting
rebates from railroads. The fine is
the largest ever assessed against any
individual or any corporation in the
history of the American criminal jur-
isprudence and is slightly more than
131 times as great as the amount re-
ceived by the company through its
rebating operations
The case will be carried to the
higher courts by the defendant COM
pany The penalty imposed upon the
company is the maximum permitted
under the law and it was announced
at the end of long opinion, in which
the methods and practices of the
Standard Oil company were merci-
lessly scored. The judge, in fact,
declared in his opinion that the OFF,
cials of the Standard Oil company
who were responsible for the practice
of which the corporation was found
guilty we're no better than counter
feiters or thieves. his exact language
being: "We may as we'll look at the
situation squarely The men who thus
deliberately violate this law wound
society more deeply than does he
who counterfeits the coin or steals
letters from the mails"
The court held that the railroads
have no more right to make a secret
rate for a shipper than board OF as
SCISSORS would have to make secret
assessment on any particular piece OF
property.
The court expressed regret that the
faw failed to provide more serious
punishment than fine, but insisted
that the penalty should be sufficiently
large to act as deterrent and not
of such size as to encourage the de-
fendant to persist in lawlessness.
At the conclusion of his opinion
and after announcing the amount of
the fine, Judge Lands directed that
special grand jury be called for the
purpose of inquiring into the acts OF
the Chicago & Alton railroad, it hav
ing been proven in the case just clos
ed that the oil company accepted re-
bates from tt at corporation. This
jury is summoned for August IA.

A. Green Smith Dead.

Alonzo Green Smith, a former at
torney general of Indiana, died Mon
day morning at his home in Indianap-
oils after long illness. Smith came
into prominence when he was made
president of the state senate by the
Democratic majority in 1887. The
late Col. Robertson, of Fort Wayne,
Republican, defeated John c. Wilson
of Logansport, for its lieutenant gen.
eralship, but Robertson was counted

Anti-Saloonists Have Majority in
Pulaski County.

The leaders of the temperance
cause Saturday filed their petition
with the auditor of Pulaski: county
against granting any saloon licenses
to any person or persons in Monroe
township and town of Winamac. The
petition contained AL names, and the
majority needed was only 343 vo.es.
Therefore the demonstrators have 3s
votes to spare. On Monday, Aug. 5,
the real contest will take place be-
fore the county commissioners, as the
saloon men claim that the names OF
many signers are not voters or are

Strenuous Life Kills Men.

Strenuous life is killing men of
Chicago at a tremendous rate, while
women are increasing in longevity
by the simple life. The conclusion
is drawn by Health Commissioner
Evans from the death rate of the past
% years. During the past seven
men died to two women The figures
are $4,000 as against 5000. The ra-
ito of the difference in the death rate
between men and women has been
thirty as against less than ten per
cent 20 years ago. Men are living 30
per cent faster. They take less care
of themselves, eat quick lunches,
court danger, dissipate and work
harder.

Where are the Dog Muzzles?

There occurred on the streets OF
Plymouth, this morning, a fight be-
tween two dogs in which both were
badly lacerated. This is frequent
occurrence, especially in the down
town district As far as the dogs
are concerned, it matters not, but
such fights in hot weather lead to
madness.
We have a citv ordinance, which
provides that the city marshal shall
kill all dogs, not wearing muzzles
during dog-days Not one has been
killed, and the city would be quite
safe in offering prize to any man
whose dog is wearing a muzzle at
this time.

there has not been the slightest sign
of disturbance

II is not believed there will be any
further interruption to traffic.
The PRONUNCIATION of Governor
Johnson's proclamation, according to
advices received from the range

tary effect, and the strikers, most of
them at least, are firmly convinced
that if the rules as laid down by the
states chief executive are willfully
violated by them that the governor
will keep his word and send the
troops there instantly.
Arrangements have been made
whereby the two local companies of
state guards may be summoned on a
moments notice. Six blasts of the
whistle on one of the grain elevators
followed by three other blasts is the
signal for every member of the mil
itia to hasten to the armory and be
prepared to take special train to the
scene of the strike.

Pure Whisky the Slogan.

The inspectors of the state board
OF health food and drug department
are to start now on a cleaning up of
the alcoholic liquor conditions. Hay-
ing worked on foods and drugs for
the last two years, the food and drug
commissioner, H. E. Barnard, is GO

The law recognizes no distinction
between drugs and foodstuffs on the
one hand, and liquor on the other"
said Mr.. Barnard. Except for the
analysis of few samples of beer,
the laboratory has had little liquor
work, as the entire time and attention
has been devoted to food and drug
work. But now, and from now on.

ner similar to that pursued in their
food and drug crusade For the most
part they will go into saloons ard
buy pint of whisky, bottle of wine,
some beer-samples of the different
liquors. These will be sent to the
laboratory and the analysis made. If
the liquor is found to be adulterated,
prosecutions will result, as they have
resulted in the food and drug work.
"The retail liquor dealers do not
seem to realize that they are at all
concerned in the food and drug laws,
federal and state, that have been pass
ed" continued Mr.. Barnard. "The
manufacturers and retailers of drugs
and food stuffs have taken a very
lively interest in the legislation itself,
and in rulings and decisions low
ing the passage of the legislation.
Particularly in this state have the
manufacturers and retailers tried TO
keep in touch with the laboratory.
But the retail liquor dealers have
never made sign of interest. Ap-
parently they do not know there is a |
law that may affect them Either
that, or they believe that their goods
are all pure and unadulterated Any
how, they do not seem to recognize
at all the matter of regulation"

due to arrive in Portland on the At

seven days ahead of his schedule and
so is taking it easy. He is earning his

very interesting, according to what

last week when some tramps near Ell
gin, ILL.,, held him up and took away
his knapsack. Iii which he carried his
papers, clippings, ETC. He did not
lose his records of this trip, for these
he mails daily to cortland
Dakota Bob in appearance is
typical Indian scout, with long hair,
wellknit figure, piercing eyes and a
face denoting strength of character
and courage. His life on the plains,
his thrilling experiences and narrow
escapes have tinged his hair with
gray and have aged him and yet for a
man of so he has a certain buoyancy
and youthful action He said that the
sobriquet of Dakota Bob" was given
him by General Miles and Buffalo
Bill. While in Chicago last week he
called on Buffalo Bill, and his show,

UNDERGROUND
 WIRES IN ENGLAND

London, March 22-All recent post masters general in Great Britain have been enthusiastic supporters of un- derground telegraph Enes-the tele- graph business here being in the hands of the government, the post office department. The settled policy of the department, in whose hands the whole telegraph service of the country is placed, is to proceed stead- ily, as funds are available, with the burying of the main trunk lines throughout the country, and in the course of the next few years it is ex- pected that all the large towns Of England and Scotland will be thus connected. Photographic communica- tion will then be secure from the widest gales and from partial in- terruptions that are often annoying and expensive. The repairs account will, of course, be very lagely reduc- ed, and great seucrity will be given to the service, eliminating so many chances of disturbance of the wires and communications.
