MORO TROUBLE FOR THE OCTO-
PUS.

In the state of Missouri it has been
a case of "shoW me- as to the charac-
ter and purposes of three certain old
companies. and the result is the GUST
ing of two of them from the state, and
the dissolution of the other, with the
a,ided penalty Of fines for violation OF
the law.
Needless to say, the Standard Oil
company is the organization which re-
teives the body blow-if it shall prove
to be so serious when the matter has
had final adjudication before higher
tribunal. We may be assured, also.
that the matter is not settled until the
higher tribunal has spoken it's word;
and we need not be surprised If the
Judgment of that tribunal shall take
on the, character of history repeating
itself.
If these three subsidiary companies,
part and parcel of the Standard Oil
trust are driven from territory as
profitable as that OF the state of Mis-
souri,, we venture to say that the pc
cuniary loss to the Rockefeller inter-
csts will be far greater than would
Rave been involved in the payment of
that $29,0O0,000 fine SO happily averted
by the kindness of Judge Grosscup.
This action in Missouri is one that
the Standard Oil company cannot at
ford to lose, if able counsel and a
technical judiciary can be relied upon
to save the day. The dissolution Of the
WatersPie company in itself, for
example, would entail a loss not to be
contemplated with equanimity
So, we may conclude that in this
Missouri battle the Standard Oil Skin
mish line has merely been driven in:
we may say possibly that the first
line of entertainments has been car
ried; but the real struggle is yet to
come, and, in the light of past events,
to gay the least. the issue is doubtful.

Hartmann On HypocritaI Heredity.


Arthur Hartman, the viOlinist al
though the personal friend of many
social notabilities in Europe and in
America, has always had decided
dislike for snobbishness. and he was
given a splendid chance to demonstrate
this aversion, recently at a house par
ty of one of the New York,s multi
millionaire women, who rules over Q
palatial country residence on Long
Island
In Hartmann's early youth he toured
America, and on one occasion was sug-
gested by his manager as a soloict for
large musicale to be given by tn
lady in question. She not only refused
the young artists services, but did it
in such an offensive manner that he
never forgot the act and vowed to be
revenged if he had to wait years fol
an opportunity.
Shortly after Hartmann's arrival in
America not long ago, the society lead
er aforementioned, gave a hunt ball
at her Long Island place and desired
greatly to combine it with a music 6
at which Hartmann the chief artistic
inquire of the early season in New York
should be the star. He accepted the
engagement with alacrity, seeing in
the meeting a chance to soothe the
wounded pride of many years before
After the concert, refreshments were
served, carried by retainers in oddly
cut and queerly colored uniforms
Hartmann remarked to the hostess on
the original style of her servants

"1he Alaskan"

Dick Fitzgerald, the comedian Of
John Crt's Opera company singing
1.-The Alaskan realized recently, for
the first time, that his comedy legs
were of more service than creating
laughter on the stage.
The Alaskan's" special train en-
route to Omaha some time ago drew
up to an eating station for lunch. Mr..
Fitzgerald had understood twenty
minutes was the time allowance, and
was the first on the spot. He had hard
ly taken his seat at the table when he
was dumfounded to see his train pull
out and go scooting away. Dropping
knife and fork, he scampered after it
for fully a mile, only to see it swing
into the middle track and back down
to the station again to allow a fast
reight to go through.
Just to show his good nature, Mr..
Fitzgerald chased the train back to the
depot again.

Passengers Were Killed.

During the past year. there were
fifty-one sudden deaths in Wayne coun-
ty. which were investigated by Coro-

one was murder. Eleven people took
their own lives.
The report for the pest year just
made public, the coroner is a most in
teresting document. Patent medicine
claimed its victim. one person dying
from the effects of eating a proprietary
headache and grip tablet. A baby
died in terrible agony early in the
year from drinking from a bottle of
medicine prepared for it's mother.
Two people ended their earthly exist
ence by consuming an over supply of
drugs. Three people died from as
phyXiation, two of them inhaled the
fumes of artificial gas and the other
was victim Of suffOcation from the
fumes Of natural gas.
In the suicide list the report shows
that three took the carbOlic acid route.
Two shot themselves and six hung
themselves. Considering the popula-
ton OF this county. the list of suicides
last year is a small one.
One person met death by drowning.
One man met his death while at work.
The railroads claimed eight victims. 1t
is remarkable fact that no passengers
were killed by the railroads in this
county last year, but five employees
met death. Three people were killed
on railroad crossings. Three people
were killed by falling Twelve mon
! and women met their deaths from acci
dental violence. while twenty-one
deaths resulted from natural causes.
