Every newspaper wants to pnb- fish the news. The better the pa per the more prosperous it will he. Local news items ;re especially hard to run down. How many times have you, dear reader, been approached by the newspaper man for an item of news and told him that you knew nothing of interest. Probably at the time your family were away on a visit or some one from out of town was visiting at your home. Of course you didn't mean to deceive the scribe, vet when you received your paper you wondered why your family or friends were not mentioned. A good way to avoid all of this is to kindly inform us of the facts or drop note in the postoffice to the paper. The one item may not amount to much, but several col umns of such news is the life of a local paper. See?

SHADOW AND SUNSHINE ON THE RHINE.

 Twas pleasant day in the summertime When maiden went to the clear blue Rhine She took a seat under a tall pine Where she sat and wondered what happiness could be. And there she dreamed of the things that had passed Since her sweetheart was lain beneath the grass, She dreamed she could hear voice clear That sounded to her as the she loved so dear. But ah! twas but that of a whippoorwill A moment and all was still, She dreamed again of the days that had gone And wondered why she left alone. last she sghed hsis my lot this trouble ogo She dreamed of her lover in Paradise And that she'd meet him beyound the skies. She awoke from her sleep and returned to her home Then she found that she not left alone. For another had come to win her heart And to help her forget her old sweetheart. He whispered to her. T love you Dear.' Then she turned to dry away the tear She told him that she'd be his Pet. So all this trouble she might forget They took boat rides on the clear blue Rhine And enjoyed the days of the summer ime But she thought of the mound on the hill Or the day she heard the whip -poor-wil. At last he asked ''Wl you be my wife, So I'll have to cherish the of my life?' She quickly answered, "Of I wil' Having forgotten the day when all still A few months later she became bride And happier girl never lived or died, But she had broken promise that she'd given To one whose soul was in heaven Now their hair is silvery gray And the most of their life has passed away, But they are the happes pair of their time For their home Is the clear blue Rhine.

Last week a man stepped up to us and said he would pay us every cent he owed us if he lived till Saturday night. We presume the man died. Another man said he would pay us in 8 day or two as sure as we were born. Query: Did the man lie or were we never born? Another said he would settle as sure as shooting. We presume that shooting is very un- certain. Another man said he hoped to go to the devil if he did not pay us within three days. Haven t seen him since; suppose that he has gone, but trust he did not hope in vain. Quite a number said they would see us tomorrow. They must have been stricken blind, or tomorrow has never come. One man told us six months ago that he would pay as soon as he got some money. The man would not lie, of course he has not got cent since.

 Did you ever notice that tobacco is cleani If a man drops a piece of meat, no matter how clean the floor may be, he will either give it 8 kick or pick it up and lay it to one side. He will never eat it. But let him drop his plug of tobac- co on the ground and no difference how dirty the spot where it fell, he will pick it up and give it a careless swipe on his coat sleeve or on the bosom of pants and then take chew with greater relish than ever.

BIRMINGHAM BILL
 NOW IN RAI IANCE
Many Cornered Fight is Cer-
 tain to Take Place
GRAY MAY SETTLE FATE
Prospect for Trouble Is Easy to Be Seen and Opposition May Delay Final Vote Upon the Question
 UtiI Legislature Adjourns.

Montgomery, July 20.-(Special.)- What will be the fate of the King Greater Birmingham bill when 1t strikes the senate? Senator Miller is opposed to it and Lieutenant Governor Gray for it. Which will be potential? is the main question.
 MT. Miller has stood for two prin- ciples in city expeansion, one to take In none who vote to stay out, end the other to allow option of two plans taxation and non-ta xation. In line with this he passed the Miller bill last ses- sion and agreed in so doing to support the Smyer bill afterwards.
 Lieutenant Governor Gray Is against the Smyer bill, and has given notice of intention to fight it. On the other hand he has expressed approval of the King bill and 1t is understood will aid it to success in the senate. If he does, there will be live, many cornered fight for final victory, Miller for the Smyer bill has Gray against him, while Gray for the King bill will discover that he has to fight his senator. At the same time the municipal code bill is suspended.
 It is understood that Col. s. W. John found something he did not like in the measure and told Senator Lusk. Though 1t had passed the senate, the Marshall man seeks to recall 1t for amendment. in which case 1t will likely get through the house. If not it may go through the house. but only after few jolts by the gentleman from Jeff ferson So 1t is an easy matter to see that with all the bills that seek outlet for Birmin gham environs there is pros- pect of trouble ahead, and if the oppo- siton is pushed it is possible by q little bit of delay to get none of tn em through before adjournment. However, 1t is understood that the objection of Colonel John to the municipal code bill will be removed and that it's passage will mt he innpaIod

STANDARD OIL INDICTED.
John D. Rockefeller May Have to Pay
 Visit to Memphis.

Memphis, July 20-Judge Mccall of she United States federal court tooav decided that the federal grand jury which re- turned an indictment of 1924 counts against the Standard Oil company, was acting within its jurisdiction. The Stand ard oil attorneys had made motion to quash the indictment, alleging that the federal grand jury of this district did not have the power to indict officials living in another state, even though the alleged crimes were committed in Tennessee. This motion Judge Mccall has overruled. The effect of the decision will be that officials living in Indiana may be brought here to testify.
 The Standard oil company was indicted for forming illegal combinations with cer- tain railroads on freight rates, which shut off competition of independent com panies. It Is believed that John D. Rock efeller may be brought here as a witness in the case when the case comes to trial The indictment. which is believed to be one of the most voluminous upon record in the United States, was returned at d special session of the grand jury at Jack son, Tenn, last fall

PICNIC CROWD IS
 DASHED TODEATH
 INV AWFUL WRECK
FREIGHT RATES ARE
 MUCH TOO HIGH
DECISION IS MADE BY COMMlS- SIONER PROUTY, WHO ORDERS REDUCTIONS OF 3 TO 5 CENTS PER HUNDRED.

Washington D. C., July 2O.-Cases involving the freight rates on grain from points in Kansas to Kansas City, Mo-,
 Kansas City, Kas., and Galveston, Texas, l were decided today by the interstate com
 merce commission the opinion being rem dered by Commissioner Prouty. The case were those of the farmers, merchants and shippers club of Kansas against the Atchison Topeka and Santa
 Fe, and the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe and the same complainant against the
 Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific and
 other lines.
 The complaint put in issue the reason l ableness of defendants rates on grain I from Wichita and other shipping points i In Kansas to Kansas City, Mo-, Calves 1 ton, Texas, for export and to various 1 destinations in Texas for domestic con
 sumption. The commission found that the
 rates to Galveston for export and to the various destinations in Texas for domes- tic consumption are unreasonable in themselves and ordered reductions rang
 ing from to cents per hundred pounds to be made.
 It appeared in the cases that the rates from the shipping points must be the same to Kansas City, Mo-, and to Kan
 sas City, Kas., and that after the com- plaint was filed the legislature of Kan sas reduced fifteen per cent the rate rate to the latter point, whereupon de- fendants after accepting the reductions,
 reduced correspondingy the rates to Kan
 sas City, Mo. For these reasons the commisson took no action concerning the
 latter rates. The destination points in Texas are divided into groups No. l, ?, 3,
 and 4 at the hearing representatives of the city of Lancaster contended that
 that city should be transferred from group to group but commission held this contention. Undue discrimination
 against the shipping points in favor of
 Kansas City, Mo-, was alleged but the commission refused to sustain that feat ure of the complaint

HaWIGys Argument Lasts Nearly
 Eight Hours
LIE PASSED WITH BARROW
Judge Wood Has to Pacify the Bel ligerent Attorneys In the Haywood
 Case, Who Charge Each
 Other With Falsehood.

Boise, Idaho, July 2O-James H. Haw- ley. leading counsel for the state of Ida ho, presented the first argument to the jury in the case against William D. Hay wood and spoke for nearly eight hours distributed over three sessions of court. Even when the afternoon session today had extended far beyond the customary time limit, every seat in the court room was occupied and remained so until the last word was spoken.
 None listened more attentively to the arr gument than Haywood, the defendant, and none showed less emotion. From time to time he took copious notes in a small book and frequently made suggestions to one or other of his counsel, seven Of whom were in court today.
 Throughout the day MT Hawley used an almost conversational tone Tho analysis of testimony in contradiction of Orchards s story concluded frequently with the dc- nunciation of witness after witness as willful perjurer, or guilty of intentional falsehood. When he had spoken live and a half hours, MT. Hawley reached Cald- well, where at the close of the l9Oo the preparations for the murder of Steune2- berg were afoot. His voice now found a sympathetic note, and as he told of the last moments of the governor the crowd leaned forward to catch the speaker every word.
 MT. Rawleys peroration was impress sive. There was no attempt at any flight of oratory, bul only a strong note or deep sincerity and great earnestness when he pleaded for an honest Judgment Tor honest men of Idaho.

Hawley Continues.

Continuing today the opening argument for the state in the case of William D' Haywood which after two months ana half of hearing, is about to be suphltteu to the fury, James II. Hawley, ehiet pros eeutor. irst devoted his attention to the alleged attempt to wreck train on ipe Florence and Cripple Creek railroad. ms was one of the incidents of the Colorado labor troubles testified to by Harry Or- chard.
 "This matter came out in Orchards tes- tlmony," said MT. Hawley. put IL "as absolutely immaterial to the issue here involved But the defense has taken this incident and has tried to build up out of if il conspiracy on the part of the mine owners against the Western Federation of Miners Orchard admitted that ne had reported the alleged attempt to detectlVeS in the employ of the mine owners assocla- ton and the railroads The defense mas brought two women wiSesses here 'o testify they saw Orchard in one of the detecfive,s room on many occasions frhese women saw this man but casually over five years ago. but they come here and swear positively as 10 Orchard identity and to the number or ms Nlslts. Such evidence as this speaks for itself "Orchard undoubtedly was trying to se- cure money from all the sources he could and I am not going to defend him Tor ms misunderstanding in taking money from both the Western Federation of Miners and the railroad company. l am not here to paint Harry Orchard anything but his true colors There is but one claim we make for him and that Is that he mas told you the truth. This attempt has been indelibly fixed by all the circum- stances in the case.'
 MT Hawley said immediately after the train-wrec king incident Orchard was found again in the Western Federation or Miners
