breaking branch Of the Department
OF Justice with encouraging the pro
duction Of shortweight containers Of
food products, forcing manufacturers
of foodstuffs to increase the prices OF
their products, boycotting those who
refuse. and otherwise doing a great
deal more than their share to increas-
ing the cost ofliying. They are sus-
pected of doing this by means Of a
system of rebates and boycotts which
enables them TO fix the prices at which
manufacturers shall sell, and to whom
they shall sell. A suit has been in
Instituted against the Southern Whole
sale Groccrs' Association, the govern
ment asking the Circuit Court at

In speaking of the death OF Johan
Sender, the composer Of the Com
mune," the Vienna Post" says;
Here is a tragedy. Senior was a
Norwegian who when the war OF 1870
broke out was making scanty living
in Paris as musician. With the birth
of the Commune he was of the number
who we're fired by the spark OF liberty.
He fought with valor and composed a
funeral march in which he used the
'Marseillaise' with telling effect His
reward was the appointment as director
of the Paris Conservatory Of Music
1t was a shortlived glory, however, for
when the Commune fell and the Yer
sailles troops marched into Paris he
was among those selected for execution
He succeeded in making his escape,
and after many adventures reached
Vienna, where he lived alone and for
gotten, and when death claimed the
old man he was in abiect poverty. "

Thompson was chosen, but the conyen-

the old time bitterness between the
party factions which has characterized
the Eleventh district for years was alb
sent. Thompson is a glass manufac-
turer and is wealthy. He has taken
an active part in political affairs of
his district, but never before sought
office. He has been a member of the
State Board of Agriculture for several
years. and has been largely instru-
mental in making the state fair sue
cess. Since the old time factional fight
has been eliminated from the Eleventh
district, the leaders of the party now
believe that Thompson will surely be
elected.
