= The first consideration in a contest
of any sort should be that no hard feel
ings will be displayed whichever side
loses; in other words, the spirit of
game losing is an essential part of hon
orable and friendly rivalry.
Evidently the pupils Of the Reno
high school lack this essential spirit
of honor. for it has been characteristic
of the majority of the contests in
which they have engaged outside
schools and have been beaten to raise
a cry of ssrotten DEAL "fake. CIV

that the students of this, the largest
high school in the State, believe they
the unconqnerabie, and when they are
beaten it could only have happened
through some fake or gross error on
the part of the referee or judge of the
contest.
Very often unpleasantries have
arisen in the academic league meets of
all the high schools of the State be-
cause of this attitud3 of the Reno high
school. On one occasion the league
meet came near Icing NC

Now Famous Phrase First Used b.

The saying "Tell it to the marines"
is traced to Pepys, the author of the
famous DIARY" and 1t is said by him
to have originated with Charles II. Of
England. 1t so befell, as the story
goes, that his light-hearted majesty,
with an exceedingly bored expression
on his swarthy face, was strolling in
the shade with the ingenious Mr..
Pepys, secretary to the admiralty.

FOURTH OF JULY DEATH ROLL.
More Victims This Year Than Yea
Of 1906.

The Chicago Tribune says:
Fifty-nine men, women and chill
dren are dead and 2153 are MANNED,
lacerated or burned as result of the
Fourth excuses of patriotism in the
United States. The number Of dead
does not include five drowned during
the day.
The roster of dead is eight more
than last years mortalities.
Unfortunately, the death roll will
increase day by day, and even the
late days Of August will witness addi-
ttons to 1t. Tetanus, that grim after
math of gunpowder wounds, claims
its victims by scores and even hun
dreds for weeks after the Fourth.
New York leads all the cities of the
United States in the number of killed
aid injured. Ten persons are dead
in the city, while six more are so Sc
riously hurt that it is expected they
will die within a few hours.
There were 116 fires in Greater
New York during the day. These fig
ures break all Fourth of July records
for the big metropolis.
Pittsburg, Pa, ran New York a
close second in the grim race, nine
persons yielding up their lives on the
altar Of frenzied patriotism.
Chicago, although the second city
Of the country, added only two dead
to the nations total.
The crusade against the deadly toy
pistol seems to be bearing fruit, as
this year only 205 victims are reported
rs against 304 last year.

JOHN d.
TESTIFIES
PRESIDENT OF GREAT
OIL co. A WITNESS.
PROVED TO BE VERY IGNORANT
OF coMPANY's
AFFAIRS.

Chicago, July John D. Rockefel-
! Ter, president of the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey, occupied the
witness stand in the district court
Saturday, while Judge Lands piled
him with questions regarding the fin
ancial strength and the business meth.
DDS Of the corporation of which he Is
the head. Mr.. Rockefeller was a very
willing and an equally unsatisfactory
witness. He was ready to tell all that
he knew. but he said that he knew
practically nothing. The net result
of his examination was that he be-
lieved during the years 1908, 1904 and
1905, the period covered by the in
dictments on which the Standard OIL
victed, the net profits of the Standard
Oil company of New Jersey were ap-
proximately 40 per cent of an out
standing capitalization Of $100,000,00O.
The Investigation by Judge Lands
was instituted by him for the express
purpose 1t odtermining whether or not
the Standard Oil company of Indiana,
which was convicted Of violation of
the law, was really owned by the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey;
whether the Union Tank Line COM
-pany, whose cars were used for the
shipments made in violation of the
law, was similarly owned, and also
to obtain an idea of the financial re-
sources of the convicted corporation,
in order to inflict a fine proportionate
to the offense and the assets of the
convicted company.
The prospective appearance in court
of the man reputed to be the richest
man in the world brought about a
spectacle the like of which has never
been witnessed in the vicinity of
Chicago courtroom. The crowd was
SO dense that frequent cries for as
sistance were heard and people who
were damned against the wall fran
tically begged for relief against the
pressure to which they were subject
ed.
Admission to the courtroom was by
card only, but many people succeeded
in evading the guards and when Judge
Lands took his seat the room was
packed to the last inch. Inside the
courtroom perfect order prevailed at
all times, except at the immediate
opening, when Judge Lands threat
ened to clear the room if absolute
quiet was not preserved.
Secretary Pratt testified that the
net earnings of the Standard Oil Of
New Jersey were $31,000,000 in 1903,
$61, 100000 for the first half of 1904,
and $57,0O0,000 in 1905.
"Send John D. Rockefeller and
dozen other trust magnates to prison
for long term of years and one Of
the most vital questions before the
people Of this country will have been
solved" William Jennings Bryan de-
clared on the case at banquet given
in his honor by DR.. Sol. G. Dickey,
president Of the Winona Lake Assem-.
bly,, at Warsaw, Ind, as follows:
president Roosevelt and others are
now bringing to successful issue the
principles and ideas I advocated II
years ago." Mr.. Bryan continued.
"This is particularly true as regards
the tariff. The president is compiling
my future speeches for me-"
