erary Attachments Committed

T. p. williams. OF New Castle, com
mitted suicide Saturday morning by

Always For Each Other.

Kenesaw Mountains Lands, federal
Judge at Chicago, who fined the Stan
dard OIL Company $20,240,000 is n
much talked about man In the United
States. A picturesque character. many
stories are told OF him and of his al
most equally picturesque brothers. II
is probable that no family OF boys
were over more devotedly attached TO
one another than these Lanoises. Any
one OF them has been ready at any
time TO make any sort Of sacrifice
for any other OF them. They hold
their interests mutual, and all OF them
they number five-have prospered.
When Fred lands decided that he
wanted to come to congress his broth
or Charles, who already held seat,
had tho brightest sort Of prospect OF
securing the nomination for governor
Of Indiana. His friends knew, and so
did he. no doubt, that Fred's entrance
into politics would lead to the cry
OF too much Landis," and injuriously
affect Charles's gubernatorial chances
but the congressman was for his
brother. Fred. nevertheless. He was
willing even to lose his own seat in
congress In order TO see Fred get to
the front. Fred got there. but served
only two terms, owing to a political
upheaval in his district. and is once
more In private life. II Kenesaw
Mountain Lands should develop as
political quantIty-be put forward,
for instance. for governor of Illinois
OF for vice president. as has been sug-
gested-you may depend upon It that
the other Lands boys. every mothers
son Of them. win be for Kenesaw
Mountain TO the last ditch. That Is
the way they are built.
