After a very careful examination Of
the products and after comparison had
been made by competent and expert
judges, the first prize for the best
county agricultural exhibit was award
ed to Jackson county, in charge OF r.
j. Pleas, Of Chipley, while the second
prize went to the Baldwin county ex-
hibit, in charge of L. T. Rhodes, of
Bay Minette, Ala, and the Escambia.

Commercial Association, and j. w.
Creary. was adjudged the third best at
the fair.
The judging in this department was
done by John c. Cheney. chief clerk
In the office Of the commissioner OF
agriculture of Alabama, and Prof. ].
j. Vernon, dean of the University of
Florida, and the judges, both of whom
are experts in agriculture, agreed that
the exhibits were unusually fine and in
some instances the differences between
the displays Of the counties were ex-
tremely small and it was necessary to
get down to fine points to make a de-
ciSion.
COMMUNITY EXHIBITS.
In the community exhibits contest
the first prize was awarded to the
exhibit from Cottage Hill, while the
one from Roberts Gonzalez ranked
second. The distinction between these
two exhibits was especially narrow
and the principal point that decided in
favor of Cottage Hill was the fact
that the exhibit was larger and more
complete, there being practically no
difference in grade of the articles.
An unusual amount OF interest was
manifested in this department which
was originated by L. w Hardy.
superintendent of the department, only
a few months ago, and many COM
munities other than the three which
had entered exhibits watched the con
test with interest. The probabilities
are that next year there will be a
large number of communities in the
contest and some splendid exhibits will
be seen, as more time will be allowed
in which to prepare them, although
they will have to be fine ones to sur
pass those shown this year.
INDIVIDUAL EXHIBITS.
Another department of the agricul-
tural exhibit in which a great deal of
interest was taken was the individual
exhibit contest. in which r. J. Pleas,
Of the Pleas Farms, took first prize.
H. Simpson. Of the Arcadia Farms.
was awarded second prize.
Both of these exhibits were unusuai-
ly fine and would have done credit to
a community, or even to a county.
They are splendid examples Of what
can be done by the farenr in West
Florida and both of them contained =.
variety of products seldom found in
any one section.

tural department were passed upon by

Children From Russia Kill
ed in Fall.

New York City.-Mrs. Ida Schiff,
who gave of her blood to save dy
ing woman and to obtain money to
bring her five children here from Rus
sia, made her sacrifice in vain. Weak
ened by the loss of blood, she tainted
while on the fire escape balcony at
her home and fell so feet. She died
an hour later. Ever since Mrs. Schiff
came to this country two years ago
to join her husband she and her hus-
band had been planning to save
money enough to send for the chill
dren. They had nearly enough,
when month ago the husband was
left without employment. A week
ago Mrs. Schiff was told of a woman
whose life could be saved by blood
TRANSMISSION. She eagerly took advan-
tage of the opportunity to obtain the
money necessary for her children's
journey. The woman died in spite
of the operation and Mr.. Schiff says
his wife did not get the money.

be only pimples or blackheads, or
chapped hands, or the accidental sore,
cut, scald, burn or boil, or the car

thousands of families depend upon 1t,
and are never without it. Resinol
Soap is chemically pure toilet soap
of the highest grade. 1t contains in a
modified form the same medication as
Resinol Ointment, and is recognized
as a preventive for many skin

INDICTS STEEL FIRMS
FEDERAL GRAND JURY STARTS
ACTION IN NEW YORK.
Government Charges Pools Were
Formed to Control Wire Business
of the Country.

New York City.-The federal grand
jury here returned nine indlct-
ments against nine alleged pools,
which it is charged were formed to
control the wire business. Among
those named in the indictments is
William P. Palmer of Cleveland, pres
ident of the American Steel & Wire
Co. The others indicted are: Frank
j. Gould, president of the Old Domin-
ion Iron & Nail Works of Virginia;
Herbert L. Satterlee, Habershaw Wire
Co.; Charles F. Brooker, vice presi
dent of the Ansonia Brass & Copper
Co. and member of the Republican
national committee from Connecticut;
Henry G. Stoddard, president of the
Trenton Iron Co.; Erskine Hewitt
vice president of the Trenton Iron
Co.; Frank N. Phillips, president of
the American Electrical Works, and
Ferdinany w. Roebling of the John
A. Roebling Sons & Co.
Each indictment is drawn under the
criminal code which makes each de-
fendant, in case of conviction, liable
to not more than one years imprison
ment or fine of $4,000, or both.
1t is known that the findings of the
grand jury promise to be greater
revelation than any of the published
runors have indicated. Criminal in
dictments charging conspiracy to con.
troll the prices of steel and steel prod
ucts the country over, involving men
high up in the financial world, are
ready The governments investiga-
tions have gone even further and are
said to have reached a prominent law
firm of this city, which has for years
been commonly identified with many
socalled trust contracts and pooling
agreements.
The governments action is directed
more against the trust within the
trust" than against the steel corpora
tion alone, although the evidence laid
before the grand jury is said to in
volve many of the officials of the big
company. While the bureau of cor
porations at Washington has been
making an investigation of the steel
corporation for nearly three years,
this proposed criminal action is apart
from that. The criminal case will not
have any connection with any suit
which the government may bring
against the steel corporation.

COMMITTEE ASKS DISMISSAL
Voucher Urge Custer of Two
Government Officials.

Washington, D. c. Misappropri-
alton OF state department funds is
charged and a recommendation that
William H. Michael, former chief
clerk of the department, now Ameri-
can consul general at Calcutta, and
Thomas Morrison, disbursing clerk
be dismissed "for the good of the pub
lie service and the integrity of pub
lie officials" is made in report
adopted by the house committee on
expenditures in the state department.
This is the result of an investigation
by the committee to an alleged ex-
penditure by the department of $2,450
for a painting of Former Secretary of
State Day of which amount the artist,
Albert Rosenthal, said he received
only $3.50, the remaining $1,000 being
unaccounted for. The late Secretary
OF State John Hay is completely exon
Grated from any connection with the
misappropriation.
THE conclusion reached by your
committee" the report says, Seems
irresistible that this sum of 81 900 was
jointly misappropriated by Michael
and Morrison, or individually by Mich
ael, either through the incompetence
or the connivance Of Morrison"

REPORT ON TRUST IN BRIEF

Restriction OF competition ls declared
to have been the prime object of tho
organizers Of the United States Steel Cor
poratlon.
When formed, the steel trust had prop
erty valued at Ses20oo,ooo. II was cap
ltallzed at $t,4o2, 100000. OF the capital
stock, S72o, 100000 or more than half, was
water.
The cost of the subsequent additions TO
the property OF the corporation shows a
total Investment In property on Decem-
Der 81, 1910, OF S1,187, 900, 900, as against
st,4es, 900, 900 outstanding securities.
The average rate OF profit from 1901 to
1910 on the corporations actual Invest
ment was IL per cent.
An almost continuous decrease In the
corporations proportion OF the output Of
principal steel products, but a marked in
crease In Its ownership or control of iron
ore deposits, is shown.
The trust now controls rs per cent. Of
lake ores. This, the report says, Is the
chief feature of the trusts monopoly.
Payment Of millions to those men who
organized the trust Is denounced, the re-
port declaring their remuneration far In
excess of reasonable amount for serv-
Ices rendered or financial risk taken.

the various great concerns If successfully
financed would be a tremendous "bull'
argument. 1t would afford its promoters
an opportunity for enormous stock mar
ket profits through the sale of its secur-
tiles"
One of the most interesting features
Of the report Is that which deals with
the enormous payment the steel corpo-
ration allowed it's underwriting syndi
cate, headed by j. p. Morgan. 1t says
that these payments amounted to $62,-
100000 and 1t is known that one fifth
of this went to the Morgan bank.
There can be no question that this
huge compensation to the syndicate was
greatly in excess of a rea easonable pay
ment," declares Commissioner Smith.

HEART RIGHT.

Life Insurance Companies will not
insure man suffering from heart
trouble.
The reason is obvious.
This is a serious matter to the hus-
band or father who is solicitous for
the future of his dear ones. Often
the heart trouble is caused by an un-
expected thing and can be corrected IL
taken in time and properly treated. A
man In Colorado writes:
II was a great coffee drinker for
many years, and was not aware of the
Injurious effects of the habit till /

from heart trouble, Indigestion and
nervousness to an extent that made
me wretchedly miserable myself and
nuisance to those who witnessed my
sufferings.

ever, not suspecting that 1t was the
cause OF my ill-health, till on applying
for life insurance was rejected on ac-
count of the trouble with my heart.

HOLD UP PASSENGER TRAIN
Bandits Shoot Two of Crew, lnjure
Conductor, Rob Mail and Express
Cars and Make Their Escape.
VICTIMS OF TRAIN BANDITS.

H. D. Rooney of Erie, conductor,
ed by robber.
C. F. Bemis of Erie, brakeman, shot
in arm.
C. H. Block of Erie, mall clerk, shot
in head. Taken to hospital. May die.
Elmer Carney of Chicago, travelling
man, hurled over 100 foot embank-
ment In hand-to-hand fight with BAN
dit. Seriously hurt about the head.
Carried into coach unconscious.
Erie, Pa.-Ten masked men held
up the Philadelphia and Erie pas
senger train five miles east of the city
at 10 o'clock last night, shot two train
men, hit the conductor in the back
with stone, fired SO shots, which the
train crew answered with a fusillade
from rifles and revolvers, then looted
the baggage and mail cars and es-
capped in the night.
A panic was created among the pas
sengers filling the six coaches. Women
screamed, and when they tried to es-
cape from the train the bandits fired
at them and drove them back Con-
ductor II. d. Rooney emptied his re-
volver and, after being painfully in
1ured by rock thrown by one of the
desperadoes, crawled away through
the woods to farmhouse. Six farm
ers, who had been aroused by the
shots, saw him and gave chase. Think
ing they were a part of the gang,
Rooney ran for life. He climbed into
a tree, where he discovered his mis-
take when the farmers came with Ian
terms. Hurrying to the nearest house,
he telephoned the city of the hold-up.
When the train stopped Engineer
Carey and his fireman climbed down
to investigate. They were immedi-
atetiy seized by masked men who,
with revolvers, made the two men get
back into the cab. Two of the robbers
then climbed aboard and kept guard
over them. By this time passengers
were beginning to leave the train and
part of the band began firing their
revolvers close to the heads of the
frightened men and women. Mean
while two or three of the robbers paid
strict attention to the mail and ex-
press cars.
c. II. Block, mail clerk, was shot
down after emptying his two revolvers
at the gang. Expressman Hart was
shot as he attempted to cross from the
baggage car to the engine where the
fighting was hottest. Block was hur-
ried from the train to the hospital
Rooney and Hart received medical at
tention at the depot.
Across the track just around the
curve had been piled ties and tGle,
graph poles, and on top of these had
been placed red lantern. To the
east of the track is a deep gully nearly
100 feet down, almost perpendicularly
to the tracks. On the other side is a
dense woodland. There are very few
houses in the neighborhood.
Elmer Carney of Chicago, on his
way home from a vacation trip east,
rushed out of the smoker and grappled
with one of the bandits. Several shots
were fired at him but he managed to
get the revolver away from the man.
AS he did so he tripped and was
hurled over the embankment. He
lodged in clump of bushes 20 feet
down and was bruised, his clothes
being torn nearly from his body. He
was rescued by fellow passengers and
carried into coach. He Is not seri-
ously hurt.

BETTER FACILITIES
FOR FIGHTING FIRE

The Phoebe fire department is to
have a new hose cart and 300 feet Of
hose. This will bring the equipmeAt
of the fire department up to three
hose carts, two chemical engines and
about HOO feet Of hose; sufficient,
according to Commissioner Ewing, to
afford the town in all directions am
pie fire protection. The additional
apparatus was authorized by fire
commissioners C. A. Thompson, E.
F. Prudential and John Ewing The
cart is being built at Mr.. Ewing's
blacksmith shop and will cost the
town nothing except the material.
A small structure to house the
cart and costing about 800, will be
built at the corner of Hoffman and
Main streets. thus affording good
fire-fighting facilities for that part
of town. which heretofore. have been
inadequate.
