Reman ded TO Jail.

Geo. Dufiin, the negro man who assaulted
Mr.. Francis Kilgour, at his farm, near Glen,
this county, on Wednesday evening of last
week, was brought from Jail last Saturday
morning before Justice Joseph Reading, in
the Court House here, to be given hear
ing. He waived the hearing and was re-
turned to Jail to await court next NoVem-
Der in default to give bail in the sum oil
$1,000. Under the circumstances he Will
be charged with HOUSEKEEPING, which car
ries with il much heavier penalty than
that oil simple assault-one of ten years In
the penitentiary.
Attbe time of the assault Duffin had just
returned to the farm OF Mr.. Kilgopr with
the team of horses and wagon from WASH
inptou. where he had been TO deliver load
of farm produce, in drunken condition
himself and that OF the team disordered. On
account OF this misconduct Mr.. kiigour or
dered Duffin TO dismount from the saddle
horse and gave him his, discharge. With
out further parley Duffin seized heavy
butt chain and three times struck Mr.. Kill
gour over the head with il, and making as
many wounds. To save himself from fur
ther injury by the unprovoked and savage
assault. Mr.. Kilgour clinched Dufftn and
threw him 10 the ground and there held him
The 30 youthful years of the negro Duinn
gave him physical Overance oil Mr.. Kill
gour, who is So years of age, but fortunately
the latter held the mastery until the female
members OF his family came TO his aid and
parted the combatants. Mr.. Kilgour was
taken within his house, and the negro re-
haired to his home 10 tenant house on the
farm of his employer.
After the lapse of brief time, Dufin re-
turned to Mr.. Kilgour's home with a shot
gun in his hands and demanded to see Mr..
Kilgour and shouted that he wanted blood.
Mr.. Kilgour was without firearms Of any kind
in the house, and Mrs. Kilgour upon seeing
Dutfin coming to the house secured her hus-
band in q bedroom from the sight OF Dur
fin, who entered and took possession Of the
bouse and made search for his employer
Not finding him, he took q seat and said he
would walt 10 see him, but after waiting Q
while he tired of it and again returned to
his home. In the absence OF any male
members in the family OF Mr.. Bilgour, the
Younger female members wandered through
the darkness of the night 10 the homes o
distant neighbors to notify them of the as
sault upon their father and obtain outside
help. These neighbors in hot blood at onc'
went to the house of Duf1n and effected hi
arrest and lodged him in jail

ed that the defence Of Dufin will be that b
went to Mr.. Kilgour's house to demand
settlement and took his gun along for sell
, defence.

Heavy Penalties For Gross ofisnses.

After long trial, In which every means
of exoneration that legal ingenuity could
sugge was employed, the Standard Oil
Company was convicted in the Federal
Court In Chicago on 1853 counts In the
indictments brought against the Company
for obtaining rebates on oil shipments
Originally there were 1908 counts, but some
hundreds were quashed by Judge Lands
Those on which verdict of guilty was rem
dered are sufficient to carry fines, IT the
minimum penalty is imposed, that Will
amount to 81 100000, and If the maximum
is imposed, the aggregate will be $S9,soo'-
900. The liability is enormous, but 90 Is
the offense. 1t was proved that for TWO
years the Standard Oil Company had been
shipping oil from Whiting to st. Louis at
one-third the regular rate. BY means oil
this rebate, the Standard Oil Company was
charged with having collected about $780,
600 from the Chicago and Alton Railroad.
The Standard Oil has been 30 willful and
deliberate an offender, covering up its prac'
tees by systematic deceit and fraud, that too
heavy penalty can hardly be exacted.
The sentence should be exemplary, and
nothing less than tremendous foe would
in its case possess that character. President
Roosevelt in his message to Congress &C.
companying Commissioner Garfield report
estimated the gains of the Standard oll
Company from secret rates as at least three
quarters Of a million year. From the dis
closures in the Illinois case the estimate
does not appear to be excessive. On May
4, 1906, the Standard Oil Company In an
official statement by Vice-Presidents Rogers
and Archbold declared that "there have
been no secret rates nor unlawful discriml-
nation in the interest of the Standard Oil
Company" But the evidence in the case
just closed shows that the Company got a
secret rate of six cents hundred pounds,
when the regular rate which other shippers
had to pay was eighteen cents.
The Chicago and Alton Railroad as the
giver of the rebate is also liable to penalty.
The New York Central has incurred fines
running into the hundreds of thousands
for rebates granted to the Sugar Trust, and
a much heavier liability confronts the Chi
cago and Alton. Now that the Govern
ment is giving force and effect to the laws
against rebating, the Standard Oil magnates
and other freebooters will no longer be able
to say ave have made refuge of lies and
under falsehood have we hid ourselves"
The scourge of the law is reaching them,
and the reign of fraud is over.-Battimore

Rules to Require Tests of Dairy Herds.

In compliance with the request OF the
Commissioners of the District of Columbia
for an opinion as to their authority under
existing law to formulate and promulgate
regulations for the inspection of dairy herds
supplying milk TO the District, the Health
Officer has issued statement, with this
conclusion:
"There would seem to be no question as
to the authority In the District Government
to make and enforce regulations requiring
all cattle producing milk for sale In the Dis
trict OF Columbia to be tested by tuberculin
before being used for that purpose"
The Commissioners intend to give their
hearty support to the milk commission re.
Gently organized in Washington, and 1t
seems probable that regulations of drastic
character will be adopted in order to force
farmers In Maryland and Virginia supply
ing milk there to have every mich COW
whose milk is sent to Washington for sale
subjected to the tuberculin test.
According to Health Officer Woodward,
20 per cent. of the mich cows which sup
ply milk for the District are infected with
tuberculosis.
