CONSPIRACY CASE NEXT
Special Grand Jury Or
dered to Probe Trusts
Dealings with the
Alton Road.
Officials of Both These Companies
May Be Sent to Prison II
Conviction Results.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-The Standard Oh
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
1t.
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 scathing criticism
of the oil trusts methods.
Then the judge instantly called for
a special grand jury for August IA to
follow up the same violations of law
from the standpoint of conspiracy be-
tween the Standard Oil, the Alton
road and the head officials of both.
This charge, if proved, may land some
of the railroad and oil officers in Jail.
Will Contest the Decision.
IuG u uOC law yOl0 oSANOO AOCASO
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 a 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.
One motion was to set aside the
courts judgment, and another an ar
rest of judgment, and a third to va
cate the judgment, setting up the
grounds that the courts action was in
violation of section s of the federal
constitution, which is directed against
the imposition of excessive fines.
"Overruled,' said the judge, quick
~. Lets go on with the next case"
Mr.. Starr then secured the 60 day
stay of execution in accordance with

The Tell Tale Voice.

eff you want to tell whether or not
the man you are talking to is telling
the truth don't look him in the eyes"
said a Denver bank teller to some
friends. 1T is the voice, when you
don't look at the eyes, that tells you
whether the other fellow is lying. We
use the system frequently in the bank.
A man will come in to tell us some
business tale. We look at his feet or
his hands or his knees, but never in
his eyes. If he's telling the truth his
voice will be firm and straightforward,
and the absence of your gaze in his
eyes will not affect it. But if he's
lying he'll be confused by your ac-
ton, and his voice will tremble; he'll
hem and haw, and clear his throat.
You may rest assured then that he's
stringing YOU"

Some Unpleasant Comparisons.
In his utterances against the oil
company preliminary to assessing the
great fine, and also preliminary to the
calling of the other grand jury, Judge
Lands clearly expressed his belief
that the Standard Oil company was
no better than a common thief, en-
phasizing the position that he has
taken throughout the trial.
"The men who deliberately violate
this law" said he, wound society
more deeply than he who counterfeits
coin or steals letters from the mail"
Referring to the reply by the defend
ants attorney to his proposition that
they produce evidence that they had
not been guilty of previous offenses,
the Judge took occasion to rebuke
them for what he termed their gratu-
itous agitation about ''the mob"
Question as to the "Mob."
Said he, after quoting from the an
swer of the attorneys in which they
recommended that the court pay mo
attention to the gossip of the street
or the charges of the mob:
"Waiving the question of the studied
insolence of this language, in SO far
as it may be aimed at the present &C.
cupant of the bench, the court can, of
course, only leave to the discretion of
the Standard Oil company the wisdom
and propriety of hundred million dol
lar corporations gratuitous inaugural
ing agitation about the mob. /"
In scoring the corporations plea
that it had right to enter into pri-
vate contracts, the judge said
Under the doctrine insisted upon
by the defendant, the railway COM
pany might give the Standard Oil
company a low transportation rate
and by contract obligate itself to
withhold the same rate from the man
the taking of whose property t. con-
domination rendered possible the con-
struction of the road. A more abhor-
rent heresy could not be conceived"

an able argument before the Oregon

$4,000. An appeal will be taken to
peals and carried to the court of last
resort, but whether it will be entered
at once or whether the full time al
lowed by law will be taken will be
determined by our counsel"
The case upon which the Judge as
sessed the huge fine was brought upon
indictments containing 1,462 counts,
charging the acceptance of rebates
amounting to $223,000 from the Chi
cago & Alton railroad on shipments
of 5000 cars of oil from Whiting, Ind,
to East st. Louis. The law gave the
court the power to impose the maxi
mum fine of $4,000 on each count.
The minimum fine provided is $1,000.
Jail Also May Be in Sight.
The surprising finale of the day
came when the judge issued his call
for special grand jury and directed
District Attorney Sims to proceed at
once against the Alton railroad and to
direct an investigation of the individu-
als-Standard Oil and Alton officials
who were parties to the scheme by
which the Standard Oil company of
Indiana secured the transportation of
its products at less than one-third the
legal rate.
The charge to be made against these
men is conspiracy to violate federal
law, known as section $40 of the re-
vised statutes of the United States.
The punishment for conviction of this
offense is a fine of $4,000, or sentence
of two years in the penitentiary, or
both.
Men in Danger of indictments.
The men who may be deemed to be
in danger of such Indictment are:

CATNIP AT THE MENAGERIE.

People who live in the country know well the
herb called catnip. We have seen it produce ex-
actly the effect described here a pet cat that
lived in the city where it could not get the plant
Some time ago armful of fresh catnip was
picked and taken to Lincoln park to try It's effect
on the animals there. SO far as is known catnip
does grow in the native homes of these animals
it the first time they had ever smelled it.
The scent of the plant filled the whole place, and
as soon it had reached the parrots corner the
two gaudily attired macaws set I'D a note that
drowned thought and made for the side of the cage
po1ing their beaks and claws through. When the
catnip was brought near them they became nearly
frantic. They given some and devoured 1t,
stem, leaf and blossom, with an avdity commensu-
rate with the noise of their voices.
The keeper and the catnip carrier then made
for the cage of Billy, the African leopard Before
the front of his cage was reached he had bounded
from the shelf whereon he lay, apparently asleep,
and stood expectant. A double handful of catnip
was passed through to the floor of the den. Never
was the prey of this African dweller in his wild
state bounced upon more rapidly or with more alb.
solute savage enjoyment First Billy ate mouth
full of the catnip, then he lay fiat his back and
wrigged through the green mass until his black
spotted yellow hide filled with the odor. Then
Billy sat a bunch of the catnip, caught leaf
laden stem up in either paw and rubbed his cheeks
chin, nose, eyes and head. He ate an additional
mouthful or two and then jumped back to his shelf
where he lay the very picture of contentment.
In the tigers cage there is very young, but
full-grown animal. When this great, surly beast
inhaled the first sniff of the catnip, he began TO
NEW like kitten. Prior to this, the softest note
of his voice had been one which put the of the
big-maned South American lion to shame That
vicious tiger and his kindly dispositioned mate
fairly reveed in the liberal allowance of the plant
which was thrust into her cage. They rolled about
in it and played together like sixweeks-old kittens.
They mewed and purred; tossed it about, ate of 1t,
and after getting about as liberal dose as had
Billy the leopard they likewise leaped to their re-
spective shelves and blinked lazily at the sun.
The big lion, Major was either too dignifed
or too lazy to pay more than passing attention to
the bunch of catnip which fell to his lot. He ate
mouthfu two of it, licked his chops in chats
not half-bad" way, and then went back to his nap.
The three baby lions quarreled their allow
ance, and ate it every bit.-Chicago Times-Herald.

GOOD ST. MARTIN.


Canon Rownsley, on Saint Martins, after de-
scribing good Saint Martin, added:
"Some of you, nv friends, followers of the
gentle Christ, come to worship, nay, come to the
Supper of Lord, wearing 'egret' plumes or
ospreys' in your hats and bonnets. Do you realize
that this 'egret' plume grows the birds back
only at the time of nesting, and that to obtain one
such feather involves the cruel death not only of
the beautiful white mother heron but of the whole
nestful of its nearly-fedged offspringse What
price to pay for the pleasure of an egret plume
What travesty of religion to be able to come into
church decked with an egret feather and sing in
the words of the Benedicte; o all We fowls of the
air, bless We the Lord! praise Him and magnify
Him foreverp What mockery to kneel at HOLY
Communion, take the soldiers oath of allegiance
unto the Lord-that gentle Lord of all compassion
and mercy, that Lord who said Consider the fowls
of the air' who told us that not sparrow falls to
the earth unregarded by their Heavenly Father!"

RRuTE INSTINCT.

We have lately been placed in the possession of
fact that shows how nearly allied to the reason of
a man is the instinct of the brute creation Not
long since Mrs. B, residing in one of the
interior counties of Missouri, left her home on a
visit to some relatives living in Henry county. in
this state, bringing with her favorite dog. On
arriving in this city she missed her pet and search
and inquiry failing to elicit aught concerning him
she was compelled to continue her journey without
him. Fourteen days after the lady had left her
home the family were surprised at the re-appear-
ance of "Fido" whom they thought 'baying the
moon" in far-off Kentucky.
Not less than 900 miles had been traversed by
his dogship, and when it is remembered that he had
