Mail Box by a Farmer
Near Warren.

Warren, o., Sept. IL A bottle of
strychnine laden fluid, marked
whisky and left in a rural delivery
mail box is likely to cause the death
of Mr.. and Mrs. George Hayes, of
Razetta township, near Cortland.
Hayes found the bottle this morn
ing. and within an hour he and his
wife were in agony. Physicians were
called, but they seemed to have ar
rived too late, despite all the means
they used to get the poison out of
the victims systems.
The corner or a newspaper sticking
cut of the mail box attracted Hayes
attention this morning as he stepped
out of the front door of his house.
He went to Investigate ana found
that instead of mail, the paper was
the outer wrapper of bottle, which
was marked Pure rye whisky for
George Hayes"
There was a quart of the stuff, and
Hayes hurried into the house to
show his prize to his wife and get
Il corkscrew. He got the bottle OPP
en-, took a preliminary smell, then a
drink. Then he passed the bottle
over to his wife, who also drank.
Hayes went about his work and
his wife about hers, but it was not
ilong until both began to be in pain
they suspected the bottle at once.
ad Hayes started to the home of a
,helshDor, where he told his story and
asked that doctor be called. A War
zen physician was summoned bv tel

Hayes home.

|"VAINGLoRY AND CHEAP POLL
TICS, 4"

With brutal lvsic Representative
Lilley, of Connecticut, a Republican
member of the House Committee on
Naval Affairs, exposes the foliy OF
sending the battleship fleet to the
Pacific coast. In letter to The
World printed yesterday he says:
In our cruise of investigation OF
the several yards, stations and docks
on the Atlantic coast the evidence
was laid before us that It requires
twelve navy-yards and naval stations
on the Atlantic and Gulf, eight OF
which are first class, to keep the
fleet in repair. In view OF which
am at loss to know what Is going
! to be done with 1t when 1t gets to
1.-The Pacific coast, where we have
only two yards, one of which. Mare

amount of water in either places.
Where does Mr.. Roosevelt expect
! to dock and repair the Battle-ships
and cruisers Has he ever given the
matter moments consideration?
Mr.. Roosevelt did not consult
Congress or the Naval Affairs Com
lmittees as to his plans. His powers
permit him to despatch the entire
UNITED States Navy on the cruise to
the North Pole If he sees fit, He
has the contingent and maintenance

The cheapest thing about the
Panama Canal is the cash it is go
ing to cost. The great thing about
a task as stupendous as this is
to get the work done, and for the
first time since it started it has
recently been pushed with a ven
gance. Only the other day Major
Goethals declared stbatiat the pres
ent rate of progress the canal
would be completed long before the

BELATED TRUST PROSECUTION

The petition of the government of
the United States in the case of the
American Tobacco Company and
others covers 135 printed pages
forming one of the most interest
ing volumes ever prepared by the
Department of Justice. SiXty-five
corporations, great and small, are
made defendants, and are charged
with violating the antitrust law Of
July ,, 1890. The history Of the
tobacco trade is fully discussed,
and the articles Of Incorporation,
and agreements in restraint of
trade made by the defendants are
set forth at length. Besides the
usual prayers for general relief and
for subpoenas, there are eight spe-
cial prayers, Of which the most inn
poItant are the 2nd and 9th, which
dle as 1OllOWs:
THAT the agreements, contracts,
combinations, and conspiracies en-
tered into by the defendants on or
about September p, 1902, and there
after, be declared illegal, and that
injunctions issue restraining and
prohibiting defendants from doing
Ianything in pursuance or in further
ance Of the same within the juris-
diction of the United States. "
THAT the court adiudge the
American Tobacco Company, the
American Snuff Company, the
American Cigar Company, the
American Stogie company, the Mae
Andrews & Forbes Company, and
| the Conley Foil Company is each
a combination in restraint of inter.
state and foreign trade and com
merce; and that each has attempted
and is attempting TO monopolizC
the trade and commerce among The
several States and with foreign
nations; and orders and decree
that each one of them be restrained
from engagong i'll interstate or for
eign commerce, or if the cOur
should be of opinion that the pub
lie interests will be better subseryeC
thereby, that receivers be appoint
ed to take possession of all tn

fairs of said defendants and wine

such course in regard thereto a
will bring about conditions in trad
and commerce among the States AM
with foreign nations in harmon,
with law.
As there is no law authorizing
the appointment of receiver il
such case, ii is difficult to perceiv
how the courts will be able to gran
that portion oi this prayer whicl
relates to such an appointment. No

BY way of consolation for the high
cost of living the Bureau Of Labor at
Washington assures wage-workers
that their pay last year increased
Ione-third faster than the prices of
their food. To quote its exact fig-
lures, in the principal industries of
the country the average weekly earn
ings of each employee in 1906 were
,3.9 per cent. greater than in 1905,
while the retail prices of food for
representative workingmeH's families
were only 2.9 per cent. higher than
in 1905.
Statisticians love exact " conclusions
and Government OFFICIALS iatterihg re-

do they contribute by striking the
average of prices of picked pork,
evaporated apples and fresh fish, which
different households consume in diff

How can they select forty from the
thousands Of industries in the United
States for comparison of wages with
cost Of living and issue any sweeping
generalization as to price tendencies
that will command respect?

TEARS OF THE CROCODILE.
Belief Said to Have Origin In an
Ancient Fable.

The phrase crocodile tears" owes
It's origin to the imagination of some
of the old travellers, who invented the
fable that the crocodile weeps over its
prey. One Of the earliest English
globe-trotters to mention this fiction
was Sir John Vaudeville, who in his
Travels" 1499, speaking Of "Aethi-
op," "Ynde" and an "Yle clept Silla,"
says: That Lond is full of Serpents
and OF Cokadrilles. THESE Cokadrilles
ben a manner OF Long Serpents, "a
lowe and rayed aboSen, and had 4
Feete and schorte Thyes, and CRETE
Nayles as Clees or Talonns: and

RESULT OF ELECTION.

The ordinance to accept the offer OF
the water works company was rejected
by the voters at the special election
Tuesday by majority of 3,6, and the
proposition to take over the plant and
have the value determined by the rail
road commission was carried by ma
jority of 235 The total vote polled was
729, about one fourth of the vote of the
city. 1t is evident from the result that
a great majority of the people of Mani
towoc are not sufficiently interested in
the water works question to go to the
polls and vote. The very light vote
polled clearly proves that. We believe
this Indifference on the part of the pub.
lie has been mistake. If the result
means anything it means that the people
of this city want municipal ownership
of the water plant, and it is probable
that the matter will be submitted to
the railroad commission.
