 The Bingville church still looks some thing awful in one spot right over the Amen corner. Last Sunday it rained during services and Deacon Butter worth, who was asleep, got SO wet be- fore he woke up that he had to go home and change his clothing, thus missing the latter porshion of the ser mon as well as the hrst porshion.

 Mrs. Bill Hepburn, wife of our tal- ented and artistiek blacksmith, gave birth to a bouncing baby boy last week and announces that she is going to raise him on the bottle Editorially speaking we do not think this is a good plan. Bill Hepburn hisself was raised largely on the bottle, and look at hirnl Bill ain't missed going to the Co. seat and coming home full every Satterday for the past IS years as regular as Satter- day comes around---unless 1t was be cause of circumstances not under his control If we was Mrs. Hepburn we wouldn't raise that child on the bottle. The chances is 1t will take to the bot tie soon as it is old enough without be- ing teached. It will probably come by it's appetite for bottle honestly.

1 For some time past 1t has been on our mind to give the trusts of this country a bitter arrainment by means of red hot editorial in this collum and we now take our pen in hand to do SO.
 For the benefit of our more ig- norunt readers who don't know what a trust is we will explain
 When several men gets together for instants, and buys up all the hogs there be in the country and then boosts up the price of spare ribs and sawsidge to such a extent l that the common people haft to pay several times what its worth for it or go without, that is called trust. Most all trusts are hog trusts for that matter because a trust allus acts the hog when it gets half a chance.
 Trusts is more common in this country than they was several years ago. We can remember when there was no such a thing as a trust in our midst, but that time is now only sacred memory. Take the Stand ard Oil Trust which John Rocke- feller got up for instants. John he has a corner on about all the lamp oil there is in the world, if we can believe what we hear,. and charges for it whatever he blamed pleases per gal. Even Hen Weathersby, prop. of our general and only store has to buy his kerosene of John. We don't know what Hen has to pay wholesale for his oil being as that ain't none of our business, but we know what we have to pay Hen for l it (23 cts. per gal) which is some of our business. What is the result? :? The people of Bingville and vicin- itty is paying about twice as much for lamp oil as the truck is worth. By the time John and Hen get their profits lamp oil becomes almost a luxury as you might say and con- sequently it is cheaper to burn taller candles than to burn lamp oil. Only the rich can afford to burn lamp oil, as it were. Taller candles don't give quite as much light as lamp oil does, but they give an allfired sight more light for the money. Hen could sell more lamp oil if it wasn't for the oil trust. Hen might probably sell a bari of lamp oil in a year if the price was within reach of all, but as it is, he has had a bari on hand for three years and it's half full as yet.
 We are not afeard to come right out and denounce trusts in this man. ner. It has always been the policy of the Bugle to denounce anything

that is detrimental to the commit nitty, espeshially when we don't own no stock in the trusts and have no other valid reasons for not de- nouncing them. We understand that the Standard Oil Trust has paid large sums of money to the editors of certain newspapers to have them keep their mouths shet and not say anything against the trusts.
 As for us, we have never received any such proposition from Rocke- feller, although we go to the P. O. every day regular for our mail. Of course if we should get such a proposition we would consider 1t conscientiously.
 What do we care If this editorial does injure the business of the trusts in this country? We reply, ''NothingP On the contrary we hope 1t will injure them. We hope that when the big trust magnates read these lines they will cringe in their boots and that their conscience will pain them so that they will re- solve in their little shrunk-up hearts to reform and lead better lives. We believe in free speech, free press and free lunch, but we don't believe in free advertising, nor free sample copies nor trusts. Let the trusts beware of us

Trampsd Up by a Cow

Wat Osgood had a curious experi- ents last week. Wat has four cows which he milks reglar twice a day We'll, the other ev'g Wat went out to milk and he had nilked three of the COWS leaving old Brindle until the last being as she is such an ornery critter and usually kicks the bucket over. While Wat was milking her she histed and come down with her foot right on Wat's foot and kept it there and him holler- ing and yelling for help as loud as he could holler and pounding her with his fists and trying to push her offen him, but Wat says she merely stood there with almost superhuman intelligence, as it were, on his foot peacefully chewing her cud and switching off the flies. As old Brindle weighs probably 900 lbs. Wat's feelings can better be imagined than described After she had stood on his foot for two or three ninnits she got of and Wat limped to the house He now says he is going to sell that COW and If he can't do that he will give her away.

We told Ben thot we did not know the reason why his Bugle didn't reach him unless 1t was lost some- where in transmission. We tried to impress on him that after we had folded and put wrapper on his Bugle and then wrote his name on the wrap per in q plain hand we had did our duty and angels could do no more and If the Bugle failed to reach hlm after that then it wasnt our fault.

Former Councilman Joseph NJ Brown,
of East Orange, who moved Just out

the hand Of fate has turned against
him.
Before moving from East Orange, for
the benefit of his health. Mr.. Brown
had an accident crossing the Lacka-

gates We're raised. Then his health be-
gan to fail and. hoping to recuperate.

Shortly after moving there extensive
barns on the property caught fire one
night, and the department found that
no hydrant had been placed In Mr..
Browns section, so the men stood about
while several Of the buildings burned to
the ground.
The former alderman told some things
to the municipal authorities the next
time they met, and expected his bad
luck had como to al end. Yesterday,
however. he came to visit some friends
in East Orange with his left shoulder
dislocated. He had been walking on
the root OF one of his buildings when
he lost his footing and fell. Mr.. Brown
does not know what 10 expect next.

Charles Smith, a negro, wanted in
Orange in connection with a stabbing
ARRAY two months ago, escaped from
the police in a novel way here today
with the aid of Carl Brown. OF Ia
Nevada street, who was caught and
who was a friend of Smiths, the police

and will have to stand trial for aiding
and abetting Smiths escape.
Smith was recognized near the
First Precinct station while court was
in session by Detective Sergeant
Drabell, of Orange. Notifying Plain
clothesmen Crawford and Smith, the
three officers followed the fugitive on a
run, and were about to effect his cap
ture al Broad and Court streets when
Brown appeared.
A bicycle which Brown was trundling
was placed conveniently along the curb,
and without q moments hesitation
Smith leaped into the saddle and
quickly distanced his pursuers. Brown
vas locked up in the First Precinct
station and the search for Smith was
continued.
The charge for which Smith is want
ed vas the %stabbing in the abdomen Of
Anna Round at the corner of Main and
Orange streets. The cause of this deed
is alleged to have peer jealousy of an
other negro.
