on the second story from which a
window opened out into the open

seeing the canvass that was stretched
across the opening he took it for the
floor, and stepped out Of the window
onto it. The result was fall to the
floor Of the College room, smashing
one OF the school desks. How badly
he smashed himself is not known, as
he hasn't been around TO claim any
damages or explain his presence in

Uninyited Midnight Visitor.

Last Wednesday night about IL 80
MIR. I. Z. Pigg, who lives at his CON-
Portable farm home several miles east
of town, was awakened by some one
knocking at his door and pushing as |
he wanted TO get in. 1t was an un-
usual hour for q visitor, SO Mr.. Pigg
got his pistol before going to the door
TO inquire into the cause. He asked
who was there and understood the
visitor to say Charley alright. He
opened the door, and there found a
bare footed stranger who told him that
some people in town wanted to put
him in prison and he escaped from
them. He asked IL he might come in,
and MIR. Pigg admitted him, fixed up
the fire, gave him something to ca,
and Mrs. Pigg furnished him with a
pair of socks. He had long story
to tell, and Mr.. Pigg, divining the
true condition of affairs, stepped to
the phone and called up State Hospital
No. 4. He was told that patient
named Lovelace, from Reynolds coun-
ty, bad escaped that evening. The
visitor became suspicious and kept in
quiring of Mr. Pigg what he rang the
phone bell for, and shortly afterwards
said that he would have TO step ont
doors minute. He did SO, and that
was the last MIR. Pigg saw of his mid
night visitor When the hospital
conveyance arrived he had been gone
quarter of an hour.

WITH THE EDITORS
The Great Fine.

A fine of 100000 appeals to the
imagination. 1t is something more than
small change even to a giant trust, but
Mr.. Bryan, although glad Judge Ian
dis gave the Standard Oil company the
limit" refuses to cheer up. He gives
way to this dismal foreboding:
I'VE shall now see whether the price
of oil is raised and the fine thus re-
eeived from the public"
Mr.. Bryan does not fear the worst
he knows what is coming. BY raising
the price of oil on the next 2,924, 600, 600
gallons of oil it sells the trust will
recoup itself for the penal sum it has
to pay into the federal treasury. So
Mr.. Bryan refuses to be cOmforted. He
can see no way to down the Standard
Oil company unless a fine as large as its
capital stock and its earnings is i'm
posed and collected. 1t must be torn
up root and branch, pulverized. de-
stroyed, wiped out. Mr.. Bryan regrets
that it was not indicted on a few
thousand more counts. Would such a
course result in confscation? No mat
ter! What is the constitution in this
irresponsible conflict between Mr..
Bryan and the trusts? AS he says, they
must be handled without gloves" BY
the horny hand of toll, If necessary,
though they be putaout of business.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Roosevelt refuses to
be interviewed on the great fine. Does
it no speak for itself as a trust busting
success? 1t is recorded, and the fame
of it will endure whether the octopus
pays up or not. Mr.. Roosevelt can af-
ford to remain silent while poor Mr.
Bryan is reduced to the dire prophecy
that the trust will raise the price OF
oil and collect the amount of the fine
from the American people-New York

Enforces Ordinance.

In view of the beautiful railroad sta
tions which do not adorn South Bend
the situation at Springfield, o., is more
or less interesting. In that city GER
tain railroad according to reports, has
constantly refused to heed the wishes
that have been often and loudly ex-
pressed for a new depot. AS a result
the city seems bent on building a new
station for the railway.
At any rate the railroad is being
fined every day for permitting it's
trains to exceed speed ordinance. The
maximum fine is $50 and if the railroad
company is found guilty on the charges
in all of the cases that have been so
far started the aggregate will amount
to several thousand dollars. While
it has not been stated in so many words
that the city inaugurated the plan be-
cause of the attitude of the railroad
relative to a new station. it is worthy
of note that one city official remarked
! that if the same rate of speed is kept
up by the railroads, and the same
speed is maintained by the city in
filing suits, with the court following
suit, the road will soon pay enough
money in fines to build a new depot
| 1t is not intended ito even infer that
the Springfield action is worth follow
! ing in other cities. 1t smacks too much
of the holdup game. Also, we do not
mean to intimate it was inaugurated
/ for the express purpose of securing &
new station. Attention is merely call
ed to the situation which exists there
nothing more. The fact, though, thai
} SPRINGFIELD is enforcing the speed or
dinance so strenuously and the fac
that city official has remarked tha

a new station is ut least a coincidence
