BEFORE PRESBYTERY
SUSPENDED BECAUSE OF HIS IN.
TlMACY WITH YOUNG WO.
MAN, CARRIES APPEAL
UPWARDS IN VAIN.

Butler, Pa.-After debating until
long after midnight, the Butler
Presbytery OF the Presbyterian
church declined to reinstate Elder
Albert Holman of the West Sum
bury church, who had been ousted
from the eldership of the Unionville
congregation for misconduct with
Mrs. Bonnie Pollack. a widow and
school teacher.
DR.. Holman who has been one Of
the leading physicians Of the county.
as we'll as a leading church worker,
was thrown out of his church some
weeks ago and had appealed his case
to the highest church tribunal.
1t is alleged that Elder Holman be-
came entirely too confidential with
Mrs. Pollack under cover Of prescrib-
ing for her as a physician, and that
after a time the couple threw OF
much of the concealment under which
they at first met and began to meet
each evening near the country school
house, where Mrs. Pollack taught.
Warnings had no effect. so the case
was brought before the church auth
critics, who asked Elder Holman to
resign his eldership and declared the
place vacant when he refused.
DR.. Holman, who is rich, declares
he will fight until he is cleared and
Attorney Homer D. Castle Of Pitts
burg, former candidate for governor
of Pennsylvania, carried the case in
TO the p%resbytery on appeal, but was
unable to get a reversal. Attorney
Cite AMI ounced that he would
again + ing DR.. Holman's case up at
the next meeting Of the presbytery,
which will be in October.
In the meantime Mrs. Pollock, the
pretty widow, is having her troubles.
She belongs to the Muddy Creek
church, about three miles from the
Unionville church, where DR.. Hol-
nan was elder, and has been notified
to appear before a session of a special
commission, which will sit on her
case early in October behind closed
doors. Mrs. Pollock comes Of one of
the best families in Western Pennsyl-
vania and stoutly maintains her in
n ,cence.

GREAT EARNINGS BY
NORTHWESTERN ROAD
HAS REALIZED FOR STOCKHOLM
ERS AMOUNT OF TOTAL CAPI-
tai STOCK In Ten YEARS.

Chicago.-The remarkable fnan-
cial returns of the Chicago and
Northwestern during the last ten
years Vas brought out in the rate
hearing by the attorneys for the ship
pers, who are fghtin. an increase of
frei. hit rates. The w.,ness was w.
4 Gardner, the vice president of the
road.
lis testimony was in short, that
the company t.-o, ght itself entitled
to a raise in freight charges now, in
spite of the fact th-t in the ten years
it has returned to it's stockholders in
direct 'ivide--ds and in an unappro-
priated surplus, more than the
amount of the capital stock.
Not Going Broke.
"The Northwestern Line will not
go into bankruptcy next year, or the
year after, or the n after that, I'M
less it now raises rates." began Card
her touching upon this subject. "But
1 do say that a regulation by the COM
missioner does not control the COM
me~cial condition under which we get
money, and unless we o may get
hi her rates we will, in future, have
to run out the red flag. We must be
allowed a satisfactory surplus above
everything, each year as this is the
barometer of our surety for credit
would you still say you should
have the right to secure that yearly
surplus, if you knew that your road
had. in ten years, paid on $S5,000,-
900 OF the stock and dividends
AMOUNT to $56,000,O0O and had
in addition an unappropriated sur
plue taken from the earnings of $780,
600. O0O-an amount of net return to
stockholders of more than the CAPT
tai stock?" asked Attorney Lyons.
Eyes, I would. AS l said, I consid-
er its need only from the standpoint
of keeping up its credit.'
Gardner also tes .i1ed in relation tc
tire effect of labor pay increases on
the general maintenance.
Labor More Expensive.
He said this factor was the CHIEF
one in establishing the probable in
crease in the operation cost for the
coming year, that in addition to the
enginemen, which might mean an ad.
diti n Of 100000 to the pay roll
there was 100000 additional pay
roll that had not come up for a pos
sible division.

Flandreau, S. D.-Fire Marshall

Flandreau, S. D.-Fire Marshall
Craft has been in this place for sew
eral days to bring about the denoue-
ment of finding the guilty parties
VINO set fire to a granary a year ago.
The granary was on the farm of N.
2. Pittsenbarger and the same was
destroyed Aug. 3, 1909. The insurance
on the building and grain did not
exceed $12o, but it was ascertained
shortly after the fire that the build
ing wa. destroyed to get the insur-
ance. 1t was thought that Pittsen
barger had something to do with the
fire but until now nothing substan-
tial could be relied upon.
Some time ago Pittsenbargar's
son went to Waterloo, Iowa, with his
mother, who made the remark in the
presence OF others that the boy knew
something about the fire. Fire Mar
shall Craft went to Waterloo and OBJ
tanned a confession from the boy
which implicated his father and his
aunt, Mrs. M. F. Stunkard.
The boy stated that his father put
up the job of burning the granary to
get the insurance. The plan was to
wait until some night when it looked
like rain and then to set fire to the
granary, and have the cause Of the
fire to be understood as originating
from a stroke of lightning. In the
meantime Spittsenbargar went away
While he was gone the sister, Mrs,
Stu kard, found one night that it
looked like rain, md she told the
boy to take the oil can and matches
and go out and set fire to the gran
airy. He di dso and burned the build
ing, but there was no lightning to lay
the blame on.
This evidence was submitted in an
examination of Pittsenbarger and his
sister yesterday afternoon, and the
justice of the peace bound both over
to the next term Of circuit court
Pittsenbargar's bond was fixed at ST..
900 and Mrs. Standards at $4,000.
Pittsenbargar vas astounded wher
his son was brought into the cour,
room as he was not aware of the
move that had been made by the
fire marshal. There were Other
counts on which these two people
could have been arrested but the evi.
dence was not so convincing.

A TURNS GRAY
AT AGE OF THREE

Bowling Green, Ky.-Walter Hun
ter Covington. aged seven, son of
James G. Covington, a farmer liv-
ing near Bowling Green, has hair
which is whittier than that Of many
a man Of fifty. His father says his
hair began to turn gray when he way
a little past three years old old and
that since that time it has grown
winter every year.
The elder Covington says he cannot
account for the fact, because the fam.
lily has never had serious trouble
and none of the child's relatives have
become gray.
The boys hair is very white on the
top and well down the sides, but at
the bottom 1t still retains its ebony
hue. The boy says he is so ashamed
of his hair at times that he won't
mix with any one but relatives.

FOR ABOUT HALF ASKED
HIRE,

New York City.-simon Guggeh-
helm, senior United States Senator
from Colorado, and champion of the
Lead, Zinc and Cartridge Trust in
terests Of his family in the Payne
Aldrich tariff debates, pleaded for a
high duty on white lead. He succeed
ed in having the duty fixed at 2 1-2
cents per pound.
Senator Guggenheim's family Lead
Trust exports it's product to Germany
and soils it there for just one-half
". at it charges at home!
Senator Guggenheim's family Lead
Trust refuses to sell it's product to
American jobbers. 1t compels the
manufactures and large consumer to
buy direct from the trust, through
some of it's many subsidiary compan-
les.
In Hamburg, Germany, its pro-
duct is offered through a big jobber
in competition with the Cheap Span
ish lead" against which Senator
.Guggenheim pleaded for protection.
The price of white lead in New
York last week was 6 cents a pound
in large quantities.
In Hamburg the same American
white lead was offered in similar
quantities at 3 IL cents per pound
C. i. f.-That is, cost, insurance and
freight paid.
Gets Scant Three Cents.
In other words, the Guggenheim
family Lead Trust pays the insurance
and freight from New York to Ham
burg and puts its product at 3 IL
cents per pound on the German
dock in competition with the 'cheaI
Spanish lead" against which the Leac
Trust through it's family United
States Senator, raised a tariff wal
nearly as high as the price at which
it sells it's product for export. De
Quoting the cost of freight and in
surance from New York to Hamburg
the price which the Guggenhein
Trust receives for export is a scan
3 cents per pound, as against 6 cent
which 1t collects from the patient
"protected" American.
Germany charges a tariff of 2 l.:
cents per pound on American whit,
lead; therefore the German purchas
er, after adding the duty to the i'm
port price, pays six cents, the same a
the American wholesale consumer.

Bitterness have just returned
from inspecting in various parts Of
the state. A local dealer in one of the
cities of the state was fined $1,000
and costs in justic court for Offering
Uncle Sans Condition Powders for
sale, which were not labeled accord
ing to the stock food law. Another
party was recommended for prose-
cution for a similar offense. The
trial will be held in a few days.
Mr.. f. G.. Cole, a farmers near
Villas, S. D., was fined $1,000 and
costs in justic court for selling rot
ten eggs to one of the local dealers.
There has been a misconception with
regard to the pure food law through
out the state on account Of the fact
that the word mo" was, by some ac-
cident, substituted for the word
any in a certain place in the pure
food law when it was enacted two
years ago. But this error only al
fects the Shipping of ~adulterated food
and in no way affects the sale there
of. The error will not materially af-
feet the enforcement of the pure food
laws. Everyone found selling rotten
eggs, or offering the same for sale in
the stores, or merchants selling the
same to produce houses, will be rec
commended for %proecution.
