bane of his calling. The evil one
uses innocent bits of metal to
keep editors from getting into
heaven. What, for instance,
would q man be likely to think,
and perhaps say, when one of his
advertisers is made to announce
a sale of "Sadie's Underwear"
instead of Ladies'" when an
other calls attention to new
line of Carriers instead of
"Gaiters," and when, by the care
less display of line, a pronounc-
ed temperance merchant heralds
to his constituents, OWE SELL

nothing more provoking, unless
it is a mix in the makeup, such
as breaking off a wedding to fin
ish out with funeral. All of
these things have happened to us,
in our brief career, which helps
to explain why we are not good.

This paper is informed that an
earnest effort will be made for a
union of nearby towns for a
school supervision district cen
trail at Morrisville. A combina-
ton of MOrristown, Gilmore and
Stowe would make a district of
about the right number of schools
for best results, and the same
would be true of a combination
of the first two with Hyde Park.
1t is pretty we'll settled in Massa-

for district superintendent has
been in practice for fifteen years
or more, that the number of
schools should not be so large but
that a superintendent may spend
the larger part of a halliday SEES

peared and cast a searching look at

king to lend him a certain magic rug
on which whoever sat could be trans
ported in an instant to the remotest
part Of the earth. The king granted
the request The vizier stepped upon
the rug and babe it transport him to
the center of the desert of Arabia. II
bore him away instantly. The angel OF
death stopped moment in his flight

man so closely because l was surpris

Commission WILL
MEET At MARION
1t Is Alleged c., C. & L. Is Dis.
eliminated Against.
POINTS IN CONTENTION.

Marion, Ind, Oct. 17.-For the first
time since it's establishment the Ind1-
ana railroad commission will hold a
meeting in Marion Monday, October
%, when the charges of the Marion
Commercial club against the p, c., C.
& St. l.. and the Glover Leaf will pe
heard.
The matter to be investigated is the
alleged discrimination of the P, c., C.
the c., c.. & L. 1t is charged that they
refuse to deliver to or receive from the
straight Line" freight shipped out by
or billed to local manufacturers, there
by greatly mountaineering them in
loading and unloading. The manufac-
turers made complaint to the CONNER
cIal club, which, acting for the indi-
vidual manufacturers and merchants,
is now the plaintiff in the case. The
defendants were served with notice
some time ago to make answer to the
complaint or grant the redress of
grievance asked by the Commercial
club, but it is evident that they have
not done the latter.
Evidence will be heard by the COM
mission and if it is found that refusal
to exchange shipping facilities with
the c., c. e L. was for arbitrary reason
the commission hiss power to make an
order correcting the abuse immediately
or punish the roads by severe fines.
1t is the contention of the Clover
Leaf that it cannot exchange freight
with the c., c. & L., because Of being
forbidden to do SO by the P, c., c. &
St. L., with whom it jointly owns the
track connecting with the c., c. & L.

New York, Oct. 17.-Counsel for the

not sought to adduce testimony on
cross-examination OF officials and EN-
plOyes of the so-called oil trust which
would refute the allegations in the

later when it could be produced con
tinuously and in bulk.
No intimation was given of the ma
ture of the testimony which counsel
for the Standard said would be
brought out. A telegram was sent

treasurer of the Standard Oil com
pany of New Jersey, last night by
counsel for the Standard that the gov
