Philpotts has made us familiar with
romantic Devonshire, in his fascinat-
ing novels, 'The River" Children Of
the Mist" etc. The characters are very
human; the people there drink coffee
with the same results as elsewhere. A
writer at Rock House, Orchard Hill,
Bideford, North Devon, states:
For 80 years I drank coffee for
breakfast and dinner, but some years
ago l found that it was producing indi-
gestion and heartburn, and was max
ing me restless at night. These symp-
toms were followed by brain flag and
sluggish mental condition.
when realized this, 1 made up my
mind that to quit drinking coffee and
having read Of Postum, concluded to

STANDARD FACES
A CRUSHING FINE.
Judge K. M. Lands Can Force Oil Com
pany to Pay Nearly Thirty
Million Dollars

CHICAGO, H., April 15.-Despite
overwhelming proof of it's violation OF
the Elkins law, as shown by the verdict
of guilty returned against it in the
United States district court Saturday
night, the Standard Oil company has
by no means given up. No legal tech,
nicality is to be overlooked by its at
torneys and the case will be kept in the
courts as long as possible.
Within few days Judge K. M. Lam
dis will be asked to fix the time when
he can hear arguments on motion foI
a new trial, notice of which was served
on the court Immediately after the jury
had returned its verdict. Ii this motion
is overruled the defense will present a
motion in arrest of judgment.
What Defense Claims.
On this question District Attorney
Sims and his special assistant, James Ii.
Wilkerson, will be called upon to re
ply. The argument of the defense VIII
be that, in accepting the 6-cent rate, the
Standard Oil company committed only
one violation of the Elkins act, and that
the contention of the government that
each car Of oil shipped constituted an
additional offense is not good.
To this the government will reply that,
as only one offense can be punished by
uo more Ludu 9AO,UUO, anu lnaC Ln S
amount derived by the Standard Oil
company in the counts charged in the in
dictment was $223,OO0, the fine is by no
means commensurate with the crime.
'If $4,000 is the most the govern.
ment can fine a violator Of this law,
said the assistant district attorney, yes

stamping out evils it was enacted to
remedy. In this case we took shipments

by the Standard from it's refinery at
Whiting to st. Louis under the secret
rate. / venture the total rebate, for
that is what it virtually was, could not
have been less than 100000. And this
is only one case"
Prepare for Appeal.
Should Judge Lands sustain this mo-
ton in arrest of judgment the defendant
company undoubtedly would pay the fine
and prepare for similar line of battle
in the seven remaining indictments II
the motion is denied the case will be ap-
pealed either to the court of appeals or
the United States supreme court.
The verdict against the Standard On
company of Indiana was brought IN to
the United States district court late Sat
urday night.
Can Fine Company Thirty Million.
Twelve jurors found the company gull
ty of accepting illegal rates from the
Chicago & Alton railroad, as charged in
1462 counts of the indictment on which
the corporation has just been tried.
Should the verdict stand Judge Lands
can impose aggregate fines of $29, 240l,-
600, or $4,000 on each count. If only
the minimum penalty of $1,000 on each
count be assessed, the total would reach
81, 100000, the largest fine ever entered
against person or corporation in the
history of federal courts.
The hearing of arguments on the mo-
ton has been postponed for two weeks.

POOR MEN GU TO SENATE.
Western States Honor Citizens Who
Came as Storage Passengers.

Many wonderful things happen in this
country. One of them is the recent cleo
ton to the United Senate from a west
ern state of the son of an immigrant
who came to this country in the steerage
in the middle of the last century and
later married a fellow steerage passen-
ger. But this is not so wonderful as
the presence in the Senate of another
man who came over in the steerage him

HOW TO KEEP CHAMELEONS.
Will Eat Flies and Like Warm Place to
Sleep at Night.

Chameleons can be kept alive for years
by making a frame to fit over a plant
in a f1owerpot and covering with mos
quito netting, which must be long enough
to tie with a string about the pot.
Keep the pot in the sunniest window
and water the plant every day through
the netting. You will be surprised to
see how eagerly the little creatures will
drink the running water after they get
over their fear.
Set wire fytrap for flies, which
you can liberate under the netting. The
chameleons will not be backward about
helping themselves

RAILROAD STATIONS WATCHED
Secret Police Will Prevent the Escape

ST. Petersburg. June 15.-The second
Russian parliament, the Associated
Press is informed on ministerial au-
thority, will be dissolved tonight by
imperial edict, as soon as the lower
house acts on Premier stolypin's ulti-
matum The city has again assumed
the appearance of an armed camp.
Thruout the night and today, detach-
ments OF infantry and cavalry have
been arriving in Industrial sections,
and the city is literally bristling with
troops. All railroad stations are
watched by secret police in order to
prevent the escape of al-democratic
deputies and revolutionary agitators,
among whom general exodus is ex.
pected to begin as soon as parliament
is dissolved.
Before the decision of the govern
ment to demand the suspension of the
f1fty-five social-democratic members Of
the house, 1t was made known that
the central committee Of the sociaf-
democratic party, in accordance with
the decision of congress recently held
in London, issued a proclamation pro-
hibiting the members OF the party
from participating In highway robbery,
now so frequent, and the local organi-
zation was ordered to take measures
to prevent acts of terrorism and brig
andage, and dissolve the fighting or

Armed Outbreak Unlikely.
81 In spite Of these alarming prepara-
tions, however. there is slight expec-
tation among the reasonable elements Of
the population. that serious disorders
will follow the dissolution Of parlia-
ment. Strikes in factories and per-
haps minor collisions in the streets are
anticipated, but the number Of troops
is too great to permit an armed out
break. With the exception of Official
Rossia and Novoe Vremya. the news
papers unanimously criticise the gov
ernment's action and see in the demand
for suspension Of the social democratic
members only a pretext, and not the
real reason for dissolution.
The parliamentary committee which
has been examining the Indictment Of
the fifty-five social-democratic mem
t'ers decided that 1t is impossible to
review all the evidence today, and will
ask the house to give 1t until Monday
to report. The premier's attitude on
the postponement has not vet been
made manifest, but it may result in de-
ferring the crisis until next week.

and that Iowa * shippers will get
back quite = money

An instap discovery of over
charges ha It been made public
here. A ye 9 man named F. L. Mey-
er, who {, ad more or less to do
with the rain. Dad business. was COM
mlssioned by firm Of stock dealers
In South Omaha to figure over for
them their accounts with railroads
covering term of years to find out
how they stood. Now, under the
freight tariffs of the far western roads
1t is permissible for stock dealer to
ship to South Omaha, there unload
and feed his shipment, then ship on
east and secure the lowest thru rate.
But it seems 1t s always figured as
two separate deals. Investigation
showed that generally the western
roads have made the right charges, but
that almost invariably the roads east
thru Iowa have charged too much.
Meyer states that the amount of over
charges will run up into the thousands
for one firm alone, and that probably
the same thing is true of others.
Whether there has really been an over
charge will rest with the courts, but
Omaha and South Omaha firms have
been conducting an investigation which
indicates that they will try to make
case.

THREE LOST LIVES
Communication With Black Hills sus-
pended Since juno 12, by Rain and
Hail Storm CIoudburst Sweeps
Down Canyon, Doing Enormous De.
struction.

Deadwood, S. D., June 15-The Black
Hills have been entirely cut off from
communication with the outside world
since the evening of June IL. A rain
and hail storm lasting six hours,
washed out the railroad and bridges,
destroyed tracks and telegraph wires.
Three people are known to have lost
their lives Mrs. Anderson of Piedmont
was alone in her home located in a
gulch. when the cloudburst swept down
the canyon. The torrent cut a channel
twenty feet wide and ten feet deep,
sweeping away all buildings in its
course with no warning in time to es-
cape. Mrs. Anderson and two chill
dren were carried down to death.
Reports of the loss and destruction
continue to come in from surround
ing towns and mining camps, but un-
til communication is again established,
it is impossible to know the loss OF
life or property. From twenty to thir-
ty railroad bridges down roadbeds are
washed out in dozen places on the
Burlington road, while the Northwest
ern is still in a worse condition.

sIanderins the cIeanIy Hog.
(Marceline. Mo-. Mirror.o.


An exchange prints some of the old
rubbish about a hog being filthy, ar
guing that hog meat is not fit for food.
A hog is not one whit more filthy than
a COW Or a horse Pen UP one of the
latter animals, feed it on swill and give
it as little care as is given hog and
it will become just as loathsome. A
hog likes to roll in the mud; so does
a horse or COW. The owner Of horse
cleahs him off, however, while the
owner of the hog lets him clean him
self by rubbing against a barn or
fence. Allow the hog free range and
clean food and he is as clean and
sweet as any beast of his size He has
a better odor than either the horse or
COW and his meat is the best that
comes on anybody's table, not except
ing chicken meat.
