Judging from the number of peo-
pie calling on Fisher, the Quaker
Health Teacher, at w. b. McPher-
sons drug store, his visit here is
going to prove as successful as else
where. 1t Is surprising what an in
tense interest this remarkable man
has created here in Padueah. Each
day seems to bring more people to
see and hear him.
Last night he said: "While II is

People should take better care of

THB STANDARD
OIL DECISION
COMMENTED ON BY LAWYERS
ON BOTH SIDES.
Theoretical Victory Is Way Wollman
Describes It--What Elliott Says
of Case.
WILL GO TO SUPREME COURT

New York, Nov. 22.-Mortimer #.
Elliott, general counsel for the Stand
lard Oil company, said, commenting
on the decision against the company
handed down Saturday by the United
Estates circuit court at st. Paul: 1.-THE
company will appeal Immediately TO
the United States supreme court and,
will cheerfully abide by the verdict
lof the highest court, whatever that
Imay be.
1.-THE argument began last April
and We are glad TO have reached an
Opinion. ] don't mean we are pleased
with the opinion, but that We are
glad to get it, whatever its nature.
"The decree does not order dis
solution of the Standard Oil company.
The decree orders, as | understand il,
that the company shall distribute
among the stockholders, of whom
there is approximately 5000, its
holdings in the stock of subsidiary
companies. This distribution, / fur
Their understand, Is ordered TO be eff
fected on a pro-rata basis of appor-
ltionment. That Is to say, the heaviest
holders Of Standard Oil stock would
receive a proportional number of
shares in the stocks of subsidiary
companies"
Mr.. Elliott was asked what course
the company would adopt IL the ver-
dict of the lower court be upheld.
THAT" he said, "is something l
shall be better prepared to discuss
when I have seen the opinion by
which the United States circuit court
ljustifies its decree"
Henry Wollman, who represented
the attorney general of Missouri in
that states suit against the Standard
Ion company, and conducted an ex-
lamination in New York of the officers
of the company, takes a similar view
to Mr.. Elliott. He sums up the situa-
ton as "a theoretical victory"
81 cannot see," he said, "that any
practical effect is to be expected. II
seems that the best the government
can do is to order the sale of the
property and in that case the money
goes to the stockholders. There Ii
no confiscation, no punishment, as
there would be in the case of crimi.
nal proceeding with the imposition Of
a fine.
ut is difficult to see, even il thu
decision is upheld by the supreme
court, how the government can pre-
vent the control of the Standard OF
properties remaining in the sans
hands, even II split into its constitu
tents properties"

WOMAN is HEROINE
IN AUTO ACCIDENT

ALBANY, Ca, March 13.-With blood
trickling from dozen cuts and bruises on
ner pretty face and head, and with bruis-
ed and aching hands on the steering
wheel of her almost wrecked automobile,
Mrs. ]. T. Donaldson, of Blakely, drove in
to Albany at o'clock this afternoon,
bringing in her husband, who had suffered
more seriously than she in an accident
which befell them ten miles south of AL
bany while en- route from Camilla to
Blakely.
Mrs. Donaldson was driving a small rum
about at about twenty-five miles an hour
when the front spring broke and the car
turned turtle. She was thrown headlong.
When she recovered consciousness, some
time after the accident, she found her
husband pinned undes the car. Suppos-
ing him to be dead, she miraculously lift
ed the car from his PROSTATE form.
Leaving his supposed lifeless body on
the side of the road she walked to ne
gro house, a mile away, for assistance.
Returning with two men, they righted
the car and the plucky little woman be-
gan putting it in running condition.
While she worked on one of the rear
wheels her husband regained conscious
ness, but his hurts were too serious TO
permit him to assist his wife, herself
painfully injured. With the car repaired
as best she could, Mrs. Donaldson had her
husbad lifted into the seat by her side
and carefully drove into Albany.
Mr.. Donaldson is seriously injured, his
physicians fearing bad results from his
internal hurts. Mrs. Donaldson is herself
badly hurt.
Mrs. Donalson's pluck and nerve as dis
played in her unfortunate experience to-
day have been applauded by everyone
familiar with the occurrence.

WIRZ MONUMENT
TO ANDERS0NVILLE

After a spirited debate extending over
nearly five hours, the Georgia Division
of the United Daughters of the Confed-
eracy decided Thursday afternoon, by a
vote of 125 to 81, that the famous Wirz
monument should be placed at Anderson
Vile. the scene of the martyred hero S
last days.
Opposition to this settlement Of the
long vexed problem centered among those
who thought that the shaft should stand
at Macon because that city is the median
point of the whole state and therefore
better adapted to the display of the me-
mortal. This further motive simpelled
those who opposed Andersonville: That
the location of the monument there might
subject 1t to insults on the part of the
unthinking and might renew a certain
amount of undesirable sectional feeling.
But delegates from that portion of the
state assured the convention that such
would not be the case; indeed, that just
the contrary would be true. Americas
was also offered as a site and received
complimentary votes. Mrs. Estes, the
delegate from that city, asked the privi-
lege of withdrawing from the contest In
favor of Macon. According to parlia
mentary rules however. this could not Be
granted. since there was opposition to the
withdrawal.
Those who spoke or read papers at the
afternoon session were Mrs Walter ID.
Lamar, of Macon; Mrs. Hodges, of An
jacksonville; Mrs. Osgood Eve, OF Angus
ta:, Mrs John Aiken, of Gainesville; Mrs.
Godfrey, of Covington; Mrs. Leila RaiEes

DUCKS SKELETON is
100000 YEARS OLD,
SAYS MUSEUM MAN

NEW YORK, March "A complete
skeleton of a prehistoric duck, estimated
by H. c. Bumpus, of the American Mu-
scum of Natural History, to be three mill
lion years old. has just been acquired by
the museum. The specimen is so we'll pre-
served that the greater part of the skin,
head, body and legs may be seen. 1t was
found near Lance creek, Wyoming.
"Mummies of Egypt three or four thou
sand years old" said DR.. Bumpus yester-
day, ARE considered to be of respectable
antiquity, and still more venerable are
the mammoths found buried in the frozen
tundras of Siberia and Alaska, but even
the mammoths. tens of thousands of
years old, are only creatures of yesterday
compared with the antiquity of this
dinosaur mummy"
