iSh Known.

on during the week beginning August

victed, was fiendish. Her victim,

mate friend. and the motive was to
gain possession of the Brennan
home. deeds of which Mrs. Farmer had
forged in October The crime was
committed April %. Mrs. Brennan
was hacked to pieces with a hatchet
and her body stuffed in trunk

indictment on a charge of murder in

A FACTORY FUND.

The establishment or factory fund
"a sum of money with which to sub
sidize new manufactures and assist
old ones-is the latest scheme of the
Richmond Commercial club. The
plan has as it's object the growth of
the manufacturing business of Rich
mond, and If properly carried out. can
work great benefit to the city.
But in the management of such a
proposition, there must be a decided
tendency toward conservatism and at
the same time a keen appreciation of
real merit. Numberless letters are
received from would-be factory owners
asking what inducements are offered
to locate in Richmond. At the pres
fer and exceptional railroad facilities.
But other cities have more; they guar
antee cash bonus. And of course, if
they are as we'll situated as Richmond
they get most of the new factories.
But then again, where would lie the
benefit of a factory that would be
transient in its habits-as many OF
them are-and when operating in city
would not employ many men? Now
and then a man says he would like to
come here to manufacture nail files
or cheese cutters. or left-handed-mon

offered. 1t will be hard thing fol

WAR VETERAN IS 100
Missouri Resident Claims to
Be the Oldest Survivor of
The Civil War.
ALWAYS CHEWEO TOBACCO

Liberal, Mo-, June 20.-Henry Dor
man of Liberal, has the distinction of
being the oldest survivor of the civil
war. He has just begun to show the
effects of his extreme age of 109
years.
Several other honors belong to this
veteran. He has lived in three centur-
les, he is the oldest man in his state
and draws one of the largest pensions
paid by the United States. Congress
recently increased his pension to $50
a month.
Dorman was born in New York
state, enlisted in 1868, at the age Of
sixty-four, from Michigan, fought at
Gettysburg and other important en-
gagements, and has lived in Missouri
since the war.
This veteran never drank, but for
eighty years he chewed tobacco. He
gave this habit up in 1901 when his
health began to decline. Since then
he has been under the care of the wild
ow Of the youngest of his ten sons,
all of whom he has survived.

THE ICE TRUST"

Founded on at least an atom of fact
and, more to the point, the word of
more than one reliable patron Of the
local ice company, charges Of short
weight and dishonest dealing form the
latest sensation in Richmond. There
has not been time for an answer from
the ice company-although one is as
suredly due, and at once-and for that
reason there will be no condo mnation
by the Palladium. 1t is necessary
however, to call attention to the de-
plorable state of affairs that exists in
the administration of the city's depart
ment supposed to attend to these mat
tiers. Gross negligence seems to be a
just accusation, and by the words of
the democratic city attorney himself
The combination of the ice compan-
les of Richmond early this season did
not augur we'll for the consumer. Ice
trusts and combinations have worked
for graft and suffering in other cities
and they have never been broken up
until the people took up arms against
the corporation and demanded a
square deal" at reasonable prices. AL
ready the results of lack of compe-
tition have shown themselves. Prices
have risen. service is no better. and
code of rules has been put into ef-
feet that throttles the small consumer
numerically.
However, monopoly may continue
unmolested until attacked in a legal
manner. The laws of Indiana and the
ordinances of the city of Richmond
have provided for an inspector of
| weights and measures and also for
dealing with the more serious ques.
| ton, l. e., a combination in restraint
of trade. But neither seem to have
been enforced. In fact. no investiga.
ton has been made and complaints
from long-suffering consumers rise to
the heavens unheard.
Richmond is about to demand that
some action be taken and no doubt the
proprietors of the ice company will be
the first to insist that every step pos.
sible be taken to clear their names of
the unsavory accusation. But the ad
| ministration must not hesitate either
Let the investigation go on at once
and if the laws have been broken. let
council instruct the city attorney to
proceed with the prosecution.

Government officials and distillers
are now satisfied by the decision of
the court of appeals in the District of
Columbia, establishing that whisky
and neutral spirits are not like sub
stances" This question has been in
dispute for a long time and the dis
tillers carried it to the attention of
President Roosevelt and Attorney Gen
eral Bonaparte before it finally went
to the court of appeals.
The court also decided that Bourbon
whiskey can be made in one state on
ly-Kentucky. II also must be made
from a certain kind of sour mash. the
principal ingredient of which is corn.
This settles an old controversy which
has been an institution in the state of
Kentucky ever since Bourbon whisky
was discovered. A kentuckian main
tains that Bourbon cannot be manufac-
tured in any other state. 1t was more
pride than an established knowledge of
the subject that caused this contention
but the result, by the recent decision,
is the same.

gle will settle the question, and IN
less Abdul Aziz strikes, he will find

CROPS IN CANADA
PROMISE BIG YIELD
Reports Estimate Wheat Crop
Double Last Years.

Winnipeg, June 20.-Crop reports
being received here from all over wes-
tern Canada are becoming every day
more brilliant and now hopes for a
full crop in western Canada are reas-
onably entertained. Various estimates
place the increase in acreage over
1907 at from so to so per cent, and
keeping in mind the comparatively
poor yield of that period, it is con-
fidently expected that the wheat crop
of 1908 will be double that of last
year.

GREAT BEEF SHORTAGE

Chicago. June 20.-Packers are be.

the beef supply. The price has risen
in the last week from one to two
cents and is now one-third greater
than a year ago. Practically no ex-
porting is being done now, the pack
ers preferriDg to pay their freight rate

les and to keep their meat in this
country. Cattle on the hoof are the
highest since 1906 and receipts at the
Chicago stock yards are the smallest
in twenty years.

NO LIKELIHOOD OF
HIGHER FREIGHT RATES
At Times Like This, 1t Would
Increase Stagnation.

Washington, D. c., June Cot is be-
lieved here that no general increase
in freight rates will be made by the
railways in the near future. The con-
census of opinion at a recent meeting
of railroad heads was that an increase
in a time of depression like the pres
ent would tend TO increase freight
stagnation rather than to stimulate
traffic.

Referring to the cause of the high
price of meat, Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson says he does not look for a
return Of low prices and points out that
the country is tending in direction
that will make it more and more diff
ficult for the poor to eat meat The
soil, he says, is being wasted and. in
time the effect will be that poor fami-
lies in this country will not have meat
any more than do the poor families
in Europe.
The problem of the cost of living
is intimately connected with the prob
lem of the conservation of the pro-
ductive ability of tho SILL says Mr.
Wilson. The present high prices of
meat have been brought about by the
fact that the production of meat ami
mails is not keeping pace with the
growth of the population that is en-
gagged in other pursuits than that of
raising live stock

By Ralph M. Whiteside.

Washington, June 2O.-Congress was
pretty good to Oklahoma. The dona-
ton of $1So,000,000 Of taxable proper
ty to a new state, just started with
distinguished purpose, is not to be ov-
erlooked.
This donation was made by process
Of removing the restrictions on aliena-
ton of Indian lands. For many WARS
the lands of five tribes of Indians have
been held under the condition that the
Indian allottees might not sell them
without the permission of the Depart
ment of the Interior. 1t was very hard
to get such permission.
While the lands were held under
such restriction they could not be
taxed. This was a serious matter to
the new state, which had place for
all the money rightly due it. The
question of removing the restriction
was, therefore, of paramount import
ance.
The Indians have long had every
right of citizenship, with the excep-
ton of the privilege of selling their
lands. Now that Indian ownership Of
these lands in Oklahoma has been es-
tablished and confirmed absolutely, the
lands may be placed on the market.
Thus the new state will benefit to the
extent of their value for taxation pur-
poses.
