Mushroom Breaks Asphalt Pavement.
Illustration of the wonderful strength
OF growing vegetable matter is afforded
In forceful manner by a mushroom
brought to the office of the News by T.
j. Trusler, who lives in Woodruff place
The mushroom, which is of the edible
kind, grew under the asphalt pavement
of the middle drive. It's strength in
growing was sufficient to bulge up the
pavement for radius of more than two
inches and finally to break off the hump
of asphalt.
Embedded like a cap in the center of
the mass of asphalt is the pileus of the
mushroom. This is perfectly formed.
The stipe or stem is slender and only
slightly bent. The specimen is a COM
mon field mushroom of the agarious
campester variety. The circular-shape
piece of asphalt displaced is about four
inches in diameter and about an inch
and half thick. The surface is filed
with seams and cracks, showing that
the asphalt gave way slowly under the
gradually increasing pressure of the
mushroom beneath.
Mr.. Trusler says that several mush-
rooms have grown up beneath the
asphalt pavements at woodruff. The
present specimen is the best, however.
that has been obtained.-Indianapo

FRON OTHER PENS


TRUST-MADE GOODS IN TEXAS.
A new method of attack on trusts
engaged in the production and dis
tribution of the necessities and lux
uries of life has been inaugurated in
Texas. The most novel and probably
the most drastic antitrust law enacted
by any of the commonwealth has just
gone into effect in the Lone Star state.
1t provides that any person who, as
merchant or agent, sells goods made
by trust or combine shall be deemed
guilty of a felony and upon conYic-
ton shall be punished by fmprison-
ment in the penitentiary for at least
two and possibly ten years.
Such a plan for eliminating trust
made goods from commerce by pro-
ceeding against the patrons OF an in
dustrial combine has a sort Of parallel
in the provisions of the Interstate
commerce act for the punishment of
patrons of a railroad corporation who
are found guilty of accepting rebates
on the regular charges for freight
shipments. Prosecutions under that
provision of the interstate commerce
act have practically killed the rebate
evil. It is to be expected that the new
Texas law, if the courts uphold its ex-
tFaordinary features, will prove
powerful weapon against trusts
Whether or not it will benefit the peo-
pie of Texas is another question. From
Austin it is reported that many Texas
merchants have fastened to close out
all the goods made by trusts.
This novel Texas statute will not
find favor with those who believe that
combinations are a natural develop
ment In the evolution of industry,
that they exemplify the principle of
cooperative production and that the
economies resulting from eo-opera-
ton should be made to benefit con-
sumers instead of swelling dispropor-
tfonately the fortunes Of the pro-
motors of combines. But those who
adhere to the principle that the status
of unqualified competition must be
preserved will find the new Texas leg
islation in accord with that time
honored belief.-Chfcago News.
THE ROCKEFELLER PUZZLE.
1t is a popular impression that John
D. Rockefeller is the richest man in
the world, or, at all events, that he
has the greatest annual income. How
that comes about there are differences
of opinion. but the impression is very
widespread that ne has an extraordi-
nary business capacity. His admirers,
at least, will insist that his great in
come is only the normal reward that
mankind pays to extra ordinary ability
and distinguished service.
With ideas of this sort in their
minds, thousands of people fought and
struggled to get into Judge Lands
court room in Chicago Saturday to see
Mr.. Rockefeller, and hear him tell of
the affairs of the Standard Oil COM
pany. Some Of them perhaps sup
posed that this Napoleon of finance
would tell a story of surprising in
terest When the examination was
to find that Mr.. Rockefeller was most
remarkable for the things that he did
not know.-Louisville Courier-Jour-
