V07EDCASEDROPPED
GOVERNMENT QUITS TRIAL
AGAINST RAILROADS.
cbi.aoo q Alton Railroad Was
CHARGED With Receiving Rebates
From Standard Oil company-Judge
Landis Cr.,ors Grand Jury 20 In
vestigate Entire Matter.

It is said in federal court circles of
Chicago that the Chicago & Alton will
,pceive the expected Immunity
hath" According to this information
tbe Investigation of rebate charges in
connection with the Standard Oil case
will be dropped.
In spite of the demand of Judge
lands for a grand jury inquiry into
tbe acts bf the Alton. it is believed
that the grand jury will be discharged
without making the investigation.
The full effect of the immunity
bath will be the dissipation of all
the evidence which the department of
Justice has been gathering against the
principal railroads of the west and
south which are charged with having
given rebates to the Standard Oil
company
Judge Lands judicial indignation,
and his action in causing a special
grand jury to be impaneled to in
vestigate the entire matter, spread
CONSERVATION among the railway Of
fcials.
The courts plainly indicated deter
mination to send some of the mag
mates to Jail for criminal conspiracy"
created CONSERVATION among the rail
road men.
Judge Landis' action seemingly
placed in danger of Imprisonment at
least so railroad men of all degrees
from freight clerks to president. The
ruling of the department of justice has
reassured the objects of threatened
grand jury inquisition, and traffic
matters will proceed with undisturbed
tranquility after the decision is an
nounced.
Although it is certain the Alton and
its officials will get an immunity
bath" and almost equally certain that
the other roads and St. Louis bridge
companies will receive the forgive
ness of the government for acts in
connection with the Standard Oil re
bates, there is still slight fear that
adverse public criticism may cause
the government to select one more
victim rather than entirely wipe out
the result of it's agents work.
In the collection of data the gov.
eminent employed 100 men, includ.
ing a number of high class lawyers
and expert accountants.
The estimated cost of gathering the
evidence which is to be rendered
valueless, except as against the
Standard Oil company, is $25O,OOO.
The appropriation for this purpose
was 100000. Despite the immunity
grant to the railroads, shippers
agents why may have entered into
conspiracy to do an unlayful act
can be prosecuted and sent to prison.

All Quiet Along the Potomac.
"All quiet along the Potomac" they say,
Except now and then a stray picket
Is shot, as he walks on his beat to and
fro,
By rifeman hid in the thicket";
It's nothing--a private or two now and
Will not count in the news of the
battle;
Not an officer lost-only one of the men,
Moaning out, all alone, his death rattle.
All quiet along the Potomac tonight,
Where the soldiers lie peacefully
dreaming;
Their tents in the rays Of the clear au-
tumn moon,
Or the light Of the watch ires are
cleaning.
A tremulous sigh, as the gentle night
wind
Through the forest leaves softly is
creeping;
While stars up above, with their glitter
ing eyes,
Keep guard-for the army is sleeping.
There's only the sound of the lone sem
try's tread,
As he tramps from the rock to the
fountain,
And he thinks Of the two in the low
trundle bed
Far away in the cot on the mountain.
His musket falls slack-his face, dark
and grim,
Grows gentle with memories tender,
As he mutters prayer for the children
asleep,
For their mother-may heaven defend
her!
The moon seems to shine just as brightly
as then,
That night, when the love vet unspoken
Leaped up to his lips-when low-mur-
INJURED VOWS
Were pledged to be ever unbroken
Then drawing his sleeve roughly over his
eyes,
He dashes off tears that are yelling.
And gathers his gun closer up to its place,
As if to keep down the heart-swelling.
He passes the fountain, the blasted pine
tree
The foOtstep is tagging and weary;
Yet onward he goes through the broad
belt of light,
Toward the shades of the forest so
dreary.
Hark was it the night wind that rustled
the leaves?
Was it moonlight 80 suddenly flashing7
It looked like a rife Fla; Mary,
good-byw
And the life-blood is ebbing and plash-
ing.
All quiet along the Potomac tonight;
No sound save the rush Of the river;
While soft falls the dew on the face Of
the dead
The picket is of duty forever!
Ethel Lynn Beers.
The Merry Heart Goes All the Way,
When you come to a wearisome bit of the
road,
Where the stones are thick and the
path is steep,
And the back is bowed with the heft Of
the load,
AS the narrowing way Is hard to keep,
Don't stop just then for a wasteful sigh,
Dub CuuAAeABe LuS WOAbb VIII hLchuAAnb
cheer;
If nowhere else, there is help on high.
Gods angels will hasten, your pioneer.
When you reach the lonesome bit of the
road,
Curtailed about with mist and murk,
And you hear faint sounds from the dread
above,
Where shivering, grim hobgoblins Turk,
Just laugh to scorn their doleful cries
This is the place to whistle and sing;
Brush the fog from your fearless eyes,
And close to the faith Of your fathers
cling.
When you stand at the sorrowful bit Of
the road
And hand you loved his loosed it's
clasp;
When streams are dry that in sweetness
flowed,
And flowers drop from your listiess
grasp;
Fen now take heart, for farther on
There are hope and Joy and the dawn
of day;
You shall find again what you thought
was gone,
'Tis the merry heart goes all the way.

Lowell, Mass.-Harry NJ Maynard,
a young aeronaut, fell 400 feet to his
death late Saturday afternoon at Lake
View, pleasure resort near here,
while 1000 spectators held their breath
in sickening suspense. Maynards
home is in Lynn. He was employed
to give an exhibition by the Stafford
Balloon club of Boston.
Maynard took two parachutes for
1000 feet in the air he cut loose from
the balloon He shot earthward like
a bullet more than half the distance.
Within 400 feet from the ground one
parachute opened. Maynard's employ
er, who had fired the shot telling the
aeronaut to cut loose, yelled, Hold
it. hold it," meaning for Maynard to
use only one parachute, not to try to
cut loose from the first, depending on
the second to open in the short dis
lance he had to drop.
Maynard either took the risk or
failed to hear, for he cut loose. The
other parachute did not open, and his
body shot down, falling on the roof of
the bowling alley. The sound was
heard above the screams of the thou
sands who had watched him fall. Every
bone in the mans body was broken.
Maynard was dead three minutes after
he struck

Winsted, Conn.-Carried by a brisk

by wildcats, and was delayed for hours
in finding her way out of the woods.
It was only by chance that she was

WAS A P~TRioTic THIEF.
French Woman Robbed Only German
Visitors TO Paris

In Paris the police have discovered
a woman who has exhibited a peculiar
sort of patriotism. She was arrested
recently for having robbed a German
merchant OF e6S. To the magistrate
she made strange declaration. She
said that her main object in life was
to decoy Germans and to rob them
She went about with them to cafes
and music halls. and while affecting
TO be very interested in them she
picked their pockets. In this way she
had annexed for several years past
over e700. She had picked the peck
cts of exactly sixty-seyen Germans
and she was proud of IT. As her rea.
son for thus acting the woman said
that in 1870 her family in Normandy
had been completely ruined by the
German invaders. who stole her ia.
theirs cattle. pigs, fowls and even
plate She was then Obliged TO go out
as a dairymaid. but not being accus
toned TO servitude she came TO Paris
and began waylaying and robbing Ger.
mans. The magistrate listened 10 this
tale calmly. II made no impression
on him.
