NEW TRUST
 SUIT FILED
IcoVE VERNMENT STARTS AN ANTI
 COMBINATION SUIT AGAINST SIX RAILWAYS.
Charged That Mining Concerns i' Ohio Have ConspIred With Roads to Restrain commerce-Haek-
 ing Valley Sued.

Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 4.-'Suit was filled by the United States govern ment in the federal circlit court here today against six railroad companies and three coal mining concerns charging a combination in restraint of trade and asking that the com mission be enjoined from continuing business.
 The government charges that the Hooking Valley road, amalgamating owners of the capital stock of the Toledo and Ohio Central, the Zanes- Vile and Western road, and it's con
 nection with the mining concerns named, has crushed competition.
 The governments petition alleges that the combine thus formed affects four of the great coal mining dis tricts, namely, the Pittsburg, t-e West Virginia, the Kanawha Valley and the Hooking Valley.
 The whole suit hinges upon the Hooking Valley railroad. The off cials of this company, it is alleged, were placed in offices corresponding to those held in the parent company soon after the Hooking Valley road gained control of the capital stock of it's subsidiaries and, according to the petition were instructed to oper- ate the roads along the same lines as the parent company had been man. aged.
 The company then, the government cnarges, set about controlling the larger coal companies and succeeded | in placing the Continental Coal Com pany, which owns 2S,000 acres oi coal lands in the Hocking Valley Valley district, on it's list along with the Kanawha and Hooking Valley Coal Company. The Sunday Creek Coal Company was formed as a blind the petition declares, to permit the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad and the Chesapeake and Ohio, along with the four Ohio com panies, to stifle competition by merging all the railroads and the principal coal companies in ihe state into one corporation, while still re- taining their own individuality. A suit is still pending In the com mon pleas court of Fairfield Coun. ty to prevent the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company from voting the stock it holds in the Hooking Valley railroad. The state suit was filed by ilhe attorney general of Ohio.
 The present Hooking Valley Rail- road has been involved in litigation With coal mining companies for the past eight years.
 Five years ago custer proceedings
 were granted against it, but the case
 was at once appealed to the Supreme
 Court of Ohio. 1t has not yet been
 tried,
 Another piece of litigation invoIy-
 ing the Hooking Valley road occur
 red eight years ago when the .Iohn-
 son Coal and Mining Company filed
 suit alleging that the Hooking Val
 ley company was exercising undue
 discrimination and asking that the
 railroad be compelled to grant it the
 privilege of siding. The Johnson com
 pany won its case.

French dramatist. who was born near
Paris in 1884, Young Francois distin-
guished himself in boyhood by his apt

his inclination to scoff at religion. His
godfather a fashionable and literary
able introduced him at an early age into
courtly circles, where he speedily learned
the hollownesS of everything around him,
and gratified his taste for artful compli-
ment and biting repartee. His notoriety
caused him to be accused wrongfully for

There is bill before the Senate Com
mittee on the Library of Congress to pur-
chase painting of Abraham Lincoln
and with this painting of the martyred
President there is interviewer a story OF
intense human interest. The painting
which at present occupies a place ol
honor in Senator Brad!ey's room. has
been pronounced by artists as the best
and only true lifelike. full-size oil paint
ing that ever has been produced of Lin
coin.
This remarkable picture was painted in
the winter Of 1SSi-65 by George w. f.
Travis. Of Frankfort-on- the Main. Ger

first administration and at the beginning
Of his second. at the close of the civil
The artist was son Of portrait
painter of renown in Germany who had
peen soldier under Gen. Bluecher in
the Waterloo campaign. Young Travis
received military education and also in
herited his fathers genius for portrait
painting.
In the fall of 1864 the young man ar
rived in New York City and offered his
services to the government. He was en-
rolled and sent to Governors Island. but
upon medical examination was rejected
as unfit for service in the field on account
Of pulmonary affection.
Conceived Idea Here.
Greatly disappointed. young Travis came
to this city. and while here conceived the
idea of painting the portrait of President
Lincoln. Those 10 whom he spoke on the
subject, however. considered him a sort
Of mild crank and gave him no encour-
agement- One day he saw Mr.. Lincoln
on the street, and approaching. intro
duced himself. telling his history. and
made a strong appeal to the President
in support of his request for a sitting.
He told the President he had rendered
his services to the government as a SOL
dier to fight for the preservation of the
nation, but had been denied that privi-
lege. and he desired to make a mark of
some kind in the period Of this great
crisis. and believed he could paint a
picture of the President which would for
ever identify him with the issues of the
day.
The President was much touched by the
artists earnestness. and made an ap-
pointment for a sitting He sat for an
hour, and told the artist a number of
his characteristic and droll stories. Sew
eral other sittings were given, and the
picture was finally finished in the artists
studio at Frankfort-on-the-M Main, about
two months after Mr.. Lincoln's assassina-
ton.

The starting of the 300 barrel flour

garded as an excellent thing for Sank

out regularly. Every local grocer
now has this flour on sale and the pro-
duct is bound to meet with great pub

The product is just as fine -four as

Asked if he wasn't sure about the ex-

that way and keep tab. He said he
put the number at ''about fifteen, it

GETS IT FROM STATE
Milling Company Secures Five Near
Contract to Furnish Power
for Girls School

The Central Minnesota Power and
Milling Company has just closed a
five year contract with the state of
Minnesota to furnish electric lights
and power for the Minnesota Home
School for Girls. The work of con-
struction will begin at once and the
line will be completed at an early
date.
The contract calls for the construc-
ton of a pole line from the Milling
Company's mill out Main street to
the grounds of the state institution,
thence to each of the four cottages
now in the process of construction.
AS additional buildings are erected
the Mill Company will be required,
under its contract, to extend these
pole lines to those buildings. The
contract calls for minimum current;
there is no maximum mentioned. In
other words the amount Of power
which the Mill Company will be called
upon to furnish will depend simply
upon the amount the state desires to
use over and above the minimum
figure.
All the buildings are to be lighted
and such power as is desired for other
purposes than lighting is to be furn-
ished by the Mill Company under its
contract with the state.
Under this contract the Mill Com
pany will be required to furnish day
current for lighting purposes on dark
days. Inasmuch as the state has let
the contract for q tern OF five years,
it is not improbable that at the end
of that time it will renew the con
tract with the Mill Company instead
OF erecting power plant of it's own.
S. 7. Merryman, secretary and man
ager of the Mill Company. stated to
The Herald Tuesday that just as soon
as he could secure poles the work OF
building the line will begin. Before
the end Of the present week. there
fore. the work is likely to be under
way.
