Is a Judicial Office.

II is not generally known that the
county superintendent of schools is
an office of quasi judicial as well
as executive character. 1t is a fact,
however that cases arise where the
superintendent has to act as judge and
jury, taking testimony and dispositions
and hearing evidence which must be
passed upon in a judicial way.
Yesterday Mrs. Niblack was engag-
ed in hearing a complaint against a
negro school trustee whom it seems
had aroused the criticism of his dis
trict to such an extent as to cause the
complaint to be filed. A large num-
Der of witnesses were present and
Mrs. Niblack's offices took on the
characteristics of court over when
she presided with all the dignity of a
trained and experienced jurist.

Oil Well Work Progressing.

The drilling on the new oil prospect
at Lone Grove is progressing nicely,
although some little delay was caused
this week by the loss of some tools
but they have been recovered and the
we'll is now going down at the rate
of about fifty feet a day.
Water is of course a detriment and
has to be reckoned with and this nee
essarily makes the progress little
slow.
The we'll is now at depth of -four
hundred and fifty feet and the indica
tions continue favorable.

crusade against the "bathtub' trust

result that indictments were returned
by the federal grand jury today
against sixteen firms and 32 indi-
viduals alleged to have secured con
troll of 80 per cent of the annual out
put OF enamel iron ware, bath tubs

States.
Criminal proceedings grew out OF
civil suit to dissolve the alleged
combination, begun by the govern
ment in federal court at Baltimore.
Secret hearings began here yesterday
and nothing was given out until the
indictments were returned this after
noon. 1t is charged by federal officials

in giving the defendants control Of
sixteen manufacturers and nearly 400
jobbers representing an output of ap-

Both civil suits, started at Bilti-

His body was laid beside that Of

so cold that it was felt wise to make
the ceremonies brief.
Officers who have attended every
