CAREFUL DOCTOR

1t takes considerable courage for a doc

Only last night one of the most expert

to a reporter how the st, Paul mine diff

death. The construction OF the mine and
the character OF its geological deposits ali
were against hoping for any one being

1t was with the greatest anxiety that
the crowd awaited confirmation OF the
report that $50 were alive in the east gal

Discovery Accidentally
The discovery Of the men was almost
accidental. They had been drinking seep-

order to make the water drip down. The
noise of the pounding was heard by the
rescuers and the work Of reaching them
was begun.
1t was discovered the men, after eating
all their food, had subsisted mostly on
bark torn off the pine posts which were
used to support the mine walls.
At 3 o'clock word came from the bottom

The envelopes containing notes and data
from the Little Rock raid on Mabray's
house, introduced as evidence, were with
drawn by the state when John S. Swenson,
postoffice inspector, testified as a hand
writing expert that the writing on the
envelopes was not by the same hand as
the contents.
A long argument ensued when the state
~endeavored to introduce a letter taken in
New York at the time of Dobbins' ar
rest. The defense commended that there
vas nothing to positively show that Dob
bins received the letter or ever had 1t In
his possession. Jr6ge Green took pos
session Of the letter ard will make a ruling
later. The letter connects Dobbins with
the Mabray gang, according to the defense.
Fred H. Hollingsworth, veterinarian,
Council Bluffs, testified to treating and
caring Tor two race horses during the
fall of 1908. He described the horses and
the men who had them ldentifing both
with the Mabray crowd and the racing
layout. H~ollingsworth told Of happening
along the road south of the city, just al
the finish Of one Of the races. This was
in July.
Defense Takes UP Motion.
The state passed the taking Of evidence
for the prosecution at IL o'clock this morn

defense.
Emmett FINLEY, Dobbins' attorney, moved
to strike out portions Of the testimony of

This motion assumed Importance in that
the evidence concerned is part of

the history of the national government on
account OF the important industrial and
legal questions and the vast financial in.
terests it involves. The evidence filled
twenty-one volumes and occupied more
than 10000 printed pages and the arguments
Of counsel more than 300 printed pages.
The nature Of the case and the char
acter OF the decision appear from the syl-
labus Of Judge Sanborn's opinion, which
reads:
Congress has power under the CONNER
cial clause of the constitution to regulate
and restrict the use in m among
the several states and with foreign nations
Of contracts Of the method of holding
title to property and of every other instru-
mentality employed in that commerce so
far as it may be necessary to do so in
order to prevent the restraint thereof de-
nounced by the antitrust act of July Q,
1890, 20 stat. 2O9.
Test of the legality of a combination
under this act is its necessary effect upon
competition in among the states
or with foreign nations.
IF its necessary effect is only lnciden-
tally or indirectly to restrict that compe-
tition while its chief result is to foster
the trade and increase the business OF
those who make and operate It, It does not
Violate that law.
Trade Restriction Illegal.
But if it's necessary effect is to stifle
or directly and substantially to restrict
free competition in m among the
states or with foreign nations It is illegal
within the meaning of that statute.
The cover 70 restrict competition in
commerce among the several states or with
foreign nations, vested in a person or an
association of persons by a combination
is indicative Of the character Of the COM
bination because 1t is to the interest of
the parties that such a power should be
exercised and the presumption that 1t
will be.
The combination in a single corporation
or person, by an exchange of stock, OF
the power of many stockholders holding
the same proportions respectively of the
majority of the stock of each of the sew
eral corporations engaged in in
the same articles among the states, or
with foreign nations, to restrict competi-
ton therein, renders the power thus vested
in the former greater, more easily exer-
cised, more durable and more effective
than previously held by the stockholders
and itNis Illegal.
In 1899 the stockholders of the standard
Oil company of New Jersey owned a ma
jority Of the stock Of nineteen other cor
porations in the same proportions that
they owned the stock Of the Standard COM
pany and those twenty corporations con-
trolled, by The ownership of the majority

OTTUMWA IS

RETAIL CITY
ITS STORES OFFER LOWEST
PRICES ON THE HIGHEST CLASS
OF GooDs-BUslNEsS HOUSES
KNOWN FAR AND WIDE.

AS place that has stores where one
can always get what is wanted, Ottum-
wa is known for many miles.
In advantages to the buyer the dry
goods, clothing, ladies' ready made
musical instruments, hardware and
farming implements, the retail houses
of this city far surpass any city OF
the middle west.
It is fact that many people in this
city do not fully appreciate the i'm
mense stocks that are carried by the
.Ottumwa merchants.
Prices too, are less here than else
where. The same goods can be pur,
chased here in Ottumwa cheaper than
they can in Chicago. The. person who
buys away from Ottumwa or goes to
any of the big cities to do their shop
ping, are the ones who are fooling
themselves.
Ottumwa's retail stores have adj
vertised this city and are now making
it well known in this part of the
country as well as in the great job
bling centers of the east.
Hundreds of people from the sur
rounding towns and country, daily
come to Ottumwa and take advantage
Of the bargains to be had here. This
number will be greatly augmented
when interurbans are built out in diff
ferent directions.
Make a trip through the stores tlis

you'll be surprised if you make a triI
through Ottumwa's stores-you'll be
proud or them.
