ANDY MILLER
TAKES A HAND
ATTORNEY GENERAL WILL AS.
SYST PROSECUTION AT DEVILS
LAkE-oNE OF THE PRIs.
oNERs ESCAPED.

Devils Lake, N. D., Sept. 2s.-The
arrival of Attorney General Andrew
Miller in Devils Lake to investigate
charges against the men arrested
Tuesday morning in the raids made bv
citizens, the binding over of the sew
eral men in custody to the district
court, and the escape Of one of the
prisoners, are new features that have
been injected into the sensational
series of events in the satanic city.
Attorney General Andrew Miller
reached Devils Lake Wednesday and
Immediately began looking over the
evidence that had been gathered
against the several men that are in
Jail. This investigation, it is an
nounced, resulted in finding sufficient
grounds on which to base action. and
as a result the attorney general will
become interested in the prosecution
of the men under arrest.
Not only will the cases against the
men arrested be prosecuted, but there
will very ligely be new cases com
menced, and the claim is made that
several we'll known officials will be
implicated before the final round of
the fight is reached.
Merry Made Escape.
One Of the men arrested in Tues
day mornings raids has made his es-
cape, being c. H. Merry. All of the
men except Merry and Dan Goldberg
had furnished satisfactory bonds when
the former decided that bonds were
not at all necessary Acting on the
impulse he managed to escape from
the authorities, and though a search
is being made for him, he has not
been found up to the present time.
They Waived the Hearing.
All of the prisoners arrested were
arraigned at Starkweather before JUS
tice Hidden, and all waived their pre-
liminary examination and were bound
over to the district court, bonds being
fixed at $500 in each instance.
When brought into court, several
of the defendants intimated that they
were in favor of having the matter
threshed out but they finally decided
to waive any such steps.
Brennan is Uncertain.
Dan Brennan, who was the victim
of the attempted murder Tuesday
morning. Is uncertain as to who to
blame for the affair, but in an inter-
view states that he does not believe
the shooting was instigated by anyone
directly concerned in the raids, but
rather 1t was the work of some person
who took it upon himself to wreck
vengeance in his own behalf.

MaeMahon and Grsvx.

In Paris in the revolution of 1880 law student was soundly kicked by one of the kings officers for tearing down a copy of the ordinances placard- ed on the wall. The officer was armed, the student was not, so the latter ran away. Nearly half century later, in 1879, the officer called upon the stu dent to bid him goodby. having just resigned the presidency of the French republic ou account of a radical differ ence with the majority of the national assembly on questions of state policy. He combined with his adieus also graceful word of congratulation on the students election to succeed him in the presidential chair. The student was Jules Grevy: the officer was Pa trice de MacMahon, who died ripe in years and honors.

Vegetable Compound has done for me during this trying period. Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffer ing women I am willing to make my trouble public so you may publish this letter "-MRs. CHAs. BARCLAY, RED. Graniteville, Vt.
 No other medicine for woman's ills has received such widespread and un- qualified endorsement. No other med, icine we know of has such record of cures of female ills as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 For more than 30 years it has been curing female complaints such as inflammation, alteration, local weak nesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, indigestion and nervous prostration, and it is uneuualled for carrying women safely through the period of change of life. It costs but little to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and, as Mrs Barclaysays, it is worth noun tains of gold " to suffering women.

Union Old Home Day.


 At the gathering at the bungalow of Mir. and Mrs Harvey N Lawson, on Mt Oohepeturk, on Tuesday. Aug 23d, more than three hundred people were present The weather was propitious except for the haze which prevented the long distance view The company did ample justice to the lunch, which was spread on tables on the veranda After being photo graphed the people were called to order by Mir Lawson for the speaking A letter was read from Edwin Whip pie of Chicago. who, as token of interest in the old town and its people, had sent 1 50 beautiful badges bearing the inscription. We remem ber with joy Old Home Day on Mt. Ochepetutk, Union, Conn. Aug. 23. 1910 ; These were distributed by Mrs. Lawson to each family. Albert B. Wells of Southbridge was intro duced as one who had large enough interests in Union to entitle him to attend the old home gathering. He spoke very interestingly on the en- selprise in forestry which he and his associates are carrying on. They own some 5000 acres in Union, Woodstock and Sturbridge, where they are grow ing trees, maintaining a fire patrol in dry weather and undertaking forestry on scientific lines. They paid out more than $5, ,O00 for labor, etc., in Union She pat year, which is one of the many advantages which their enterprise brings to the town MT. Wells gave many practical points about growing forest trees, and J. g. Dresser, who is associated with him exhibited a chart showing the plan of ~their forest holdings.

 About 1840 the old schoolhouse on the Holland side was abandoned and a new one built near the home of James Peck, later known as the Gurley place. As l have said plan of one would be for all, will describe the one in the Glass Factory district, where took my degrees from the red schoolhouse. I carry in my mind to- day, after period of "A years, al picture as clear as a photograph of that sohoolhouse as it stood on the high ground just above the crossing of the road leading from the Abel Johnson place, the county road lead ing to Wilmington Hill over the old Wolcot road. The building was about 22 by 32 feet, fronting south. There was an entry or hall about SxlO feet. and the balance of the rear was for wood, with a door from the hall. The hall was finished in chestnut. with shelves and wooden pegs for the hanging and holding the ohildren's s wraps and dinner pails
 The school room was about 21 feet square, with the teachers desk at the north side near the rear. From the desk was row of writing iesks, with shelf below for the books of l the pupils.

only thlrty-seven out OF about 800
places in the United States in which
the Standard sells. The Standards
brief claims that all the charges as tc
these ithiTty-seVen places can be- eS-
plained by the price cutting or other
aggressive conduct Of the competitors
themselves.
Another question undoubtedly TO be
considered will be whether the transfer
Of the stocks Of the various subsidiary
companies in 1899 TO the Standard Oh
Company Of New Jersey was a trans
action which made q combination IN re-
straint of trade. The Government claims
that the New jersey company thus be-
came a holding company. and that the
transaction suppressed-if not actual
competition-then potential competi-
ton between these companies.
The Standards defense upon this point
rests upon the facts. first that. at the
time Of the transfer of these stocks,
every one Of the cOmpa lies was owned
by the same stockholders in precisely
the same proportions. and had been so
owned in most cases for upward OF
twenty years; that is TO say. II any
stoclholder held 10 per cent OF the stock
OF one or the companies. he he'd 10 per
cent OF the stock OF every one Of them,
and so on.
Common Ownership.
Defendants sgy. therefore, that these
companies we're all held In common own
ership and were substantially a common
property, so thai there was no actual
competition, ard rad been none for over
twenty years, AM, in the nature of
things, could he none.
Therefore, they say, the transfer or
the stocks to the New Jersey company
made no difference whatever in the sit
JIation-eXcept 10 make IL more cOnVen-
lent 10 manage the business. which was
a unit before 1899. as well as after it.
The defendants slOs point in their
brief 10 the fact that a great many OF
the companies-they say nearly LwO-
thirds of the companies whose stocks
were transferred in 1899 10 the New Jer-
sey company, had been originally or
ganized BY the Standard, bearing the re-
latior OF child TO parent: that they were
never intended 20 compete with the
parent company, and that IL IS unrea-
Sonable IL treat them as n they were
under a duty TO compete
The Government brief, on the other
hand. takes the position that each sep
arate company, no matter how organ
iZed, nor how II was owned. was a sep
aTate entity in law, and that the bring
ing Of them together in 1899. was a com
binatiCn in violation or the statute, as
