Description of a Plant Thas Grows In
Wet Places and Is Poisonous.

Along the sloughs and in wet places
on many farms in the west may be
found a weed from two to five feet
high, with an umbrella-like blossom
and with the stems streaked with pur-
pie. This is the spotted cowbane OF
water hemlock, sometimes mistakenly
called wild parsnip. On examining
the roots there will be found a number
OF tubers close together, some of them
similar in shape to a cows horn. An

ENTER GREAT CONTEST At

cords of this country and Europe are
not left far behind. The best possible
prevail for the meet-a
quiet, protected course through salt
water, which is much faster than fresh
water.
Admittedly the premier at this gath
ering of Neptune's sons is Charles M.
Daniels, champion of the world, who
represents the New York Athletic club.
Immediately after winning fresh
laurels at Jamestown-as he is conf
dent of doing-he will take steam
ship for England to defend his honors
in that country won by him during the
last two or three years, the English
swimming authorities having postpon-
ed their championship meet in order
that Daniels might have an opportun-
ity to participate. In England he will
meet the very best swimmers that
Great Britain and the continent can
produce, but his many friends and ad-

it is almost certain that past records
in many events will be broken. The
basin is 1000 feet long and 200 feet
wide with a depth of II feet, and is
kept filled with running water direct
from Hampton Roads.
The events scheduled to be decided

every variety of water work, including

looked upon favorably in some of the
events.
The diving contest will be a warm
one and brings together many men of
equal ability, among them
Bornaman and Hammond of Chicago
and Lee and Ocallaghan of New York.
The water polo game, which will
probably be witnessed by crowd of
many thousand will be the real tug
of war. If the strong rival teams of
the Chicago and New York Athletic
clubs get together again for the final
contest, as appears likely, the battle
will be royal one. Honors between
the eastern and western teams during
the last few years have been about
even, the title fluctating between them
and while there have been disagree
ments, the rivalry has been at most
times friendly and has done much to
establish the game of water polo in

The Standard Oil Co. has been fined $685.
100000 by Judge Lands, for rebating. The
fine is generous one, and yet it is only a
mere fraction of the wealth which the Standard
has accumulated on account of illegal rebates
on freight rates. The fine should act as de-
terrent on the practice account of the large
decrease it will make in the dividends of the
company. It is said that if the company
attempt to raise the price of oil and thus make
the public pay the fine, that good share of
their business will go to independent compan-

Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1907-08-10

The federal courts in various parts of the
country have been receiving good deal of
popular condemnation on account of the vari-
Gus in functions which have been issue against
the putting into effect of lower railroad rates
aecreed by the several states. However much
we may deplore the action of these courts, the
Judges themselves should hardly be censured.
The whole scheme of federal laws, the consti-
auton itself and the decisions of the federal
courts have been mbued with the idea of the
sacredness of property and accordingly those
courts put the rights of property over the rights
of PERSONS or even of states all naturally
enough. The idea is a relic of the time when
the laws placed greater safeguard around a
mans property than around his life and con
sidering the peculiar construction of our form
of government, is is quite natural that this
ultra conservative view find proponents among
ahe federal judges. Men who are imbued with
abe sacredness OF property all their lives ano
who occupy live positions hardly be ex
pected to respond to a demand of the people
which is scarcely half dozen years old.
