the University and other high

Mr. j. M. WENTWORTH thinks it

make all signers of dramshop Pc

whatsoever kind (which could be

scarcely a wrong under the sun, in

your true Prohibitionist cannot

believes that if the aforesaid petit
TONERS were to be held liable as
aforesaid the saloon would go out

us cogitate a little on the other
side. Surprising that all petition

to be held for the cost of the same,
and also required to make good to
the county and State all revenues

STANDARD OIL
WINS ON APPEAL
JUDGE Lands TWENTY NINE
MILLION DOLLAR FINE
REVERSED.
NEW TRIAL GRANTED
DECISION CONQUERED IN BY THE
THREE JUDGES OF COURT
OF APPEALS.

Chicago.-The famous decision OF
Judge Lands. by which the Standard
Oil Company was fined $4,000 ,000, was
reversed in a decision handed down
by the United States Court of Appeals
Wednesday morning. The case was
remanded for new trial. The judgment
came as a complete surprise The
night before speculation as to the out
come OF the suit was TO the effect that
he decision would almost certainly up
hold the fine imposed by Judge Lands.
The Court of Appeals differs with
The trial court on three points, holding
that Judge Lands excluded evidence
for the Standard Oil Company of In
diana which should have been ad-
mitted to show proper intent in the
rate the company paid on oil; that he
erred in considering each car lot
separate offense; and that in impos-
ing the maximum fine for the first of
Tense he abused the discretion vested
in his court. 1t is strange doctrine,
says the opinion, whereunder a million
dollar corporation such as the defend
dant, the Standard Oil Company of In
diana. may be fined twenty.nine times
the amount of its capital stock, in Or
der to punish a defendant not even
under Indictment. BY this latter is
meant the parent company, the Stan
dard Oil Company of New Jersey.
The derision was reached by Judges
Peter S. Grosscup, Francis f. Baker
and William II. Seaman, and was
unanimous
The case will now go to the Supreme
Court OF the United States
The decision handed down Wednes-
day by the United States Court of Ap-
peals was on the appeal of the Stan
dard Oil Company of Indiana from the
verdict rendered April Is, 1907, by
which the company was found guilty
OF accepting rebates and was later
fined by Judge Lands of the United
States District Court 29.240,o0o, the
maximum under the counts of the in
dictment.
The specific charge against the com
pany was that it had accepted rebates
on shipments of oil in carload lots
from Whiting, Indiana, to East St.
Louis, Illinois, over the Chicago & Al!
ton road. Evidence was adduced at
the trial showing that the company re-
ceived rates one-third as large as other
shippers were obliged to pay. 1t was
contended by the counsel for the oil
company that the rate was not secret
but the jury found otherwise
During the trial counsel for the OIL
company refused to give information
called for by Judge Lands after he had
taken the case under advisement. The
court thereupon issued subpoenas for
the officials of the Standard Oil Com
pany of New Jersey, among them John
D. Rockefeller These officials ap-
peared il court on July g. 1907, and
were personally examined by Judge
Lands.
Judge Groscup wrote the opinion.
The concluding sentence of the opin-
ion reads:
THE judgment of the District Court
is reversed and the case remanded with
instructions to grant a new trial and
proceed further in accordance with this
opinion

The Huge Fist Of the Farmer.

From that day Seny avoided all pub
lie places-and all men. He was no
body-nothing. He fell rapidly into
that kind Of disrepute which is COM
mon to persons with failing reputa-
tons. 1t was to his discredit that he
did not leave town, but this his father
prevented. Again he took to the cot
ton woods and the Poison springs,
with, perhaps. the dim hope that Sally
might again find him there. and that
the peeping moon might again inter
fere on his behalf
But the moon went through all her
phases and then slowly turned her
back on him-and Sally never came.
In their casual meetings she was ice.
Once they passed on the road to the
store. She was in precisely the dear
garments he remembered so well-of
that first day-and as gay as then. He
trembled. and then looked up like a
MORALLY wounded animal. She was
looking calmly over his head. To the
rest OF the world she was gayer than
ever, though that Sunday night laugh
still echoed in her head-kept her
maddened. After all, 1t wasn't worth
while to care for even Seffy with such
a little spirit. Why didn't he fight
kill Sam or somebody? And the cum
ming Sam set the story more widely
going that for revenge Seffy had de-
serted her at the church door and that
he had first laughed-Seffy. This was
too piquant to be passed over, and 1t
was heard far and wide
To Seffy's father. who. even in this
dire strait. strove for happiness for
them both--and Of course, the pasture.

alone-and showed more and more as
she went on. Some one laughed-then
there was an unmIstakable litter along
the line. Still Sally passed on. keep
ing her temper as never before. Was
not the old man right about the effect
OF laughter?
But now the temper loosed itself
slowly-her face was scarlet. She had
nearly reached the married men. Some
one whispered:
Gosh, He's Citing even by sacking
her.
This was repeated. There was more
laughter and more tttering. The
crowd deserted the lines nearest the
church and followed Sally down on
either side in huge tumultuous pha-
lanxes to see what would happen-if
1t were possible that she would have to
90 home alone. Several young men
who had never dared to approach her
began TO think Of II. They knew that
rather than not be taken at all she
would take any one of them, There
was more tumult now than laughter.
And Sallv's face grew so white that
her eyes blazed like stars In the midst
OF IT,
Sefy Quailed He recognized the
temper-only he had never seen II as
terrible as this. He had forgotten Sam.
1t was only Sally he saw, as one sees
with fear-stalled nerves the locomotive
as 1t leaps upon him.
And the onlookers, crowding at the
sides, thought it a great and terrible
hand to hand battle-to wait that way
till the last moment and then to spring
like tigers-or piece Of tremendous
foolishness.
Both of you must be absolute sure, -
said Hilary Croft to Sam, +or absolute
fools, Amt you got no pity on the
girl?"
shut up" answered Sam, and
watch. I'm calculating on him
leaving town tomorrow. That is my
game. And I'm playing for the pot"
You see that Sam had not forgotten
Seffy for moment. even if Seffy had
forgotten him. He stepped noiselessly
three PAGES toward Sally, crossed in
front of Seffy and took her arm. There
was laugh almost ribald. Sefy could
not see clearly-he could, least of all,
think clearly-he did not know what
had happened. He saw only the little
white signal before him and blindly
put out his arm.
1t did not reach Sally at all but Sam
who turned and said with an imitation
of girlish politeness:
Thank you, Mr. Baumgartner, I'm
suited
And, Sally, her face flaming with
vengeance. took the trouble to turn
back and cry-uot into his ear but
into his very heart:
Thank you. I'm suited"

punishment seems sufficient. while any

Il Was Sefy Who Was Sack !"

So they three went to church on a
certain Sunday Sally sat on the
"women's side" and Seffy and Sam on
the mems side in full view OF the
'audience"-whch perceived and UNI
derstood and was ready at the proper
time 10 applaud, from the preacher to
the seXtun-to raise or lower its
thumbs upon the combatantS.
When the benedlction had been said
Seny FASTENED out and found himself
place-close to the door. according
to his fathers word-in one of the
lines of young men which stretched
on either side of the path from the
church door to the road beyond, at
least a quarter of mile. But he did
not see Sam. Some one pushed in
front of him. And instead of com
batting for his position, he yielded it
and found one further down, still seek
ing the location of his rival. He was
crwded from this one, too, and he let
it go and sought another one because
he had not seen Sam. And II was nee
essary to his fathers scheme. he re
membered, that Sam and he should be
about opposite. OF course all this
was error. His place was right by the
church door. That was where Sally
had right to expect to find him. 1t
had become public matter. too. The
public had its rights. 1t expected him
there, even il he had to shed the blood
of noses to stay there This had often
happened. But he was bewildered in
the contradictory courses advised by
his father. and. finally, seeking that
which seemed best, found that which
was worst. Dull Seffy.
He at last discovered Sam and
found Judgment for himself opposite
and away down near the gate. where
only the married men were-such as
still waited for their wives-who ami
ably smoked until they came along.
No unmarried maiden ever expects to
be matched there. And, had Seffy
been as wise as he was not. he would
not have halted there. But he was
deluded by Sam. There he was in the
opposite line, the wrong one indif-
ferently chatting, and even smoking,
with Hilary Groff-a married man.
SeHy was now so sure OF his conquest,
that Sans Indifference vexed him. Ev-
identity he did not mean to contend
with him for Sally's arm, and it was to
be a cheap and bloodless victory. For
Seffy was one of those who grow brave
as opposition diminishes
And now they were slowly coming
down-the maidens running the CANT

straight down upon him. But there
