JUDGE lands ON STANDARD

New Grand Jury Probe Ordered Into
Charges of Conspiracy with Alton
Officials of Both Companies May
Be Jailed If Convicted.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-The Standard Oil
company Saturday received the most
terrific blow in it's history, and stimuli
taneously was served with notice that
more serious trouble was in store for
it.
Judge Kenesaw M. Lands, in the
United States district court, fined the
company $29,240.000. the extreme limit
of the penalty fixed for the acceptance
of illegal rebates under the conviction
of last April. This fine is by far the
largest ever assessed in any case in
the history of jurisprudence. 1t was
accompanied by a scathing criticism
of the oil trusts methods.
Then the judge instantly called for
a special grand jYry for August Ia to
follow up the sahe violations of law

New Yorks East side figures in the
minds of many persons, not only in
side, but outside of that metropolis,
as region of slums, inhabited by
overworked and underpaid toilers in
sweat shops and an otherwise op-
pressed and half-starved population.
But a recent statistical report of
banking business in the state shows
one savings institution, whose pa
irons are mainly from the supposed
poverty-stricken quarter, whose de-
posits are in excess of 100000, 900.
belonging to about 100000 persons.
From which it will be seen that too
much importance should not be
placed on the illustrated stories of
East side misery in the yellow maya
zines.

This charge, If proved, may land some

VIII Contest the Decision.
The trusts lawyers served notice
that the infliction of the fine will be
contested to the court of last resort.
This means two steps: An appeal to
the circuit court of appeals and thence
to the federal supreme court.
The judge gave the defendants 60
days in which to file bill of excep-
tons. This was after three formal
and quite hopeless" motions had been
made by Attorney Merritt Starr, rep
resenting the defense as senior coun-
sci, during the absence Of John s.
Miller, who is in Europe.
Call 1t an Injustice.
The character of the appeal to the
higher courts was indicated by a later
statement by an official of the corpora
ton in New York, who said "the
amount of the fines evidenced the in

Individual Tastes.

Some parents want to- choose tho
future calling of their child them
selves, without regard to his or her
likes or dislikes. A man often wants
his boy to acquire his own particular
trade or profession, when it often hap.
pens that the child positively dislikes
the work, and possesses talent for
something else, if he is only given
chance to cultivate it. This opposi.
ton, however, is sometimes more OF
a help than a hindrance, for the boy
is filled with ambition, and Is deter
mined to succeed, to show father that
he can make his way in the world,
notwithstanding the parents obJec'
lions, and he goes to work with a
courage and resolution that nothing
can daunt. He overcomes objections
after time, and generally gains the
help and appreciation Of his father
after he has shown that he possesses
the grit, perseverance and independ-
ence essential to success. This ID.
versity of tastes is often strikingly
illustrated in family of girls. There
is usually one girl that always helps
mother with the cooking, and at an
early age is skilled in all the myster.
ies of bread and cake-making, putting
up fruit IN various ways, converting
It into jelly, jam, preserves and
pickles. She can wash, iron and
scrub and is spoken of among her &C
quaintances as a model girl. Her SIS
ter never has good luck" with her
biscuit, and her cakes always fail to
meet expectations; but she is equally
useful in her way, for she is the dress
maker for the family, and saves many
big bill by her taste and readiness
in using the needle. But there Is
another who is at the same time the
pride and shame of the household.
She will not sew, and, If forced to do
so, the work has to be ripped out and
sewed over by some one else. She
despises the kitchen work, and If
sent to wash the dishes is found
perched in an apple tree with a book
in her hand, but she always stahds at
the head of her class, and steps off
with the first prizes. She is snnbbed
in the family circle on account Of her
uselessness, but is always brought for
ward when company comes, to as
tonish them with her learning. Par.
ents should make a study of each
child's disposition, says New York
Weekly, and endeavor to discover in
what direction their respective talents
point, if they have any, and give them
all the help in their power to improve
their natural abilities. Many prom

Another GILMAN
crime At dayton
PRETTY GIRL DEAD AND MAN DY-
ING IN STRANGE MURDER
MYSTERY.
Anna Markowitz Brutality Attacked
and Strangled and Abraham Cor
don Shot-Brothers and Sister OF
Former Are Held on Suspicion.

Dayton, o., Aug. 6.-Anna Mako
WITT, "a years of age, pretty Jew
ish girl, lies dead at the county
morgue, her throat bearing the mute
evidences of the strangers death
clutch. Her body. bruised and cut,
bears evidences of brutal mistreat-
ment. At the hospital, with mortal
wound in his abdomen and his head
a mass of bruises, lies Abraham Cor
don, young travelling man from In
dianapolis. Held on suspicion by the
authorities at Dayton are James,
Jacob and Bertha Markowitz, broth
ers and sister of the dead girl.
This is the situation in very COM
pick murder case and one in which
brutality and cruelty rivals the fate
of pretty Dona Gilman, whose pitiful
end was reached but short distance
from where this latest crime occurred
Anna Markowitz, like Dona Gilman,
was mistreated. But in this latest
case there is not that complete abb
sence of clews which has made the
Gilman case one Of the deepest mys-
teries in this section.
Stories Differ Widely.
Sunday Abraham Gordon, some
times known as Cohan, went out walk
ing along a lonely road near the Ma
tional Soldiers home. He was ac-
companied by Anna Markowitz and
her younger sister, Bertha. They had
walked to a lonely spot when the
crime was committed. Two stories
widely different in their limitations
are told. What took place has up to
this time not been clearly developed.
The story of Bertha, when she rush
ed breathlessly and terror-stricken to
the soldiers home, was that while her
sister, Young Gordon and herself were
strolling along secluded path,
highwayman slipped unheard behind
Gordon and struck him with a black
jack. Gordon, she said, turned about,
and as he did so the highwayman shot
him in the stomach. AS Gordon fell,
she says, the man made a dash for
either herself or her sister. She ran
screaming from the scene of terror,
leaving her older sister, Anna, to her
fate. Bertha said she did not stop
until she had reached the soldiers
home. where she gave the alarm.
Body Found in Weeds.
The sheriff was notified and a pos
Sc formed. When they reached the
spot of the crime they found Gordon
almost dead A trail showed where
Anna had been dragged. They follow
ed the beaten down path and came
upon the body of the girl lying in
the weeds. The clothing had been
nearly torn from the body. The arms
were crowded down over the eyes as
If to shut out horrible picture
There were evidences of a fearful
struggle and of an assault The girl
was dead from strangulation.
The Markowitz brothers and Bertha
later called at police headquarters to
see what had been learned about the
crime. Questioned, the brothers are
said to have admitted that their moth
er objected to further attentions being
paid by Gordon to Anna The broth
ers would not deny that they had fol-
lowed their sisters, Anna and Bertha
into the woods when they went in
with Gordon.

Terrific Wind
SWEEPS CITIES
WINONA AND SOUTHERN MINNIE
sofa is THE SCENE OF
DEVASTATION.
Buildings Unroofed, Cars are Stopped
and Telephone Lines Blown Down.
Damage in the City is Over One
Hundred Thousand.

Minneapolis, Aug. z. Following
tWenty-four hours of severe electrical
storms in various parts of Wisconsin
and Minnesota, terrific wind and rain
swept down on portions of Minnesota,
Iowa and Wisconsin late yesterday
afternoon, doing immense damage to
crops and buildings. Several persons
are reported to have been hurt, though
only one death was reported up to a
late hour last night.
Winona was the worst sufferer from
which accurate information could be
obtained, though no lives were report
ed lost, and as far as was known last
last night nobody was seriously in
jured. The damage there was over
100000.
Bridges were ruined by the storm,
and the rain in some instances amount
ed almost to cloudburst. Cars were
blown from the tracks, and near
Kiester, Mimi, it was reported that
herd of fifty cattle was lifted bodily
from the ground and carried into an
adjoining pasture.
Winona, Mimi, Aug. 7.-Entomb-
ed in almost absolute darkness Vino
ma last night was staggering under
the effects of the most disastrous
wind storm ever experienced in the
city's history. No lives are reported
lost and as far as is known nobody,
was seriously injured, but the damage
within the city limits will amount to
over 500, 200.
Wires are down in every direction,
trees are splintered or uprooted and
buildings wholly or partially unroof-
ed and in some cases completely de-
molished, telephone and telegraphic
communication are all but impossible
and electric light and street car SER
vice are entirely done away with.
During the storm rain fell in tor
rents, the precipitation being estima-
ted at close to three inches. Some
of the principal buildings in the city
were wholly or partially unroofed,
among these being:
Bay State mill and elevator.
Winona opera house.
Laird Norton old mill.
Empire sash mill.
International Harvester company's
ware house.
Joseph Leicht's press building.
Many smaller buildings were I'M
rooted or otherwise partially wrecked,
hundreds of chimneys were blown
down and the smokestacks were
leveled at the Schroth & Aherns
plant, Elevator @ of the Western
Elevator company and the Bay State
FIGURING mill.
The track of the Chicago-Burling-
ton & Quincy road on the bridge be-
tween here and East Winona was so
badly twisted by the storm that the
"stub" train to East Winona had to
be abandoned for the night. The
bridge itself does not appear to have
suffered seriously.
Two cars of Green Bay passenger
train were blown into the ditch be-
tween here and Marshland, but no.
body was injured.
