three cOnstables, Kinney, Taylor and
Carter, who accompanied him on the
patrol from Fort MACPHERSON to Daw.
son.
The messenger brought the diary
kept by Fitzgerald, Fitzgerald's will
scrawled during his last hours with a
burnt twig ON q piece of battered and
torn paper and the report of Corporal
Dempster, who commanded the relief
and searching party that found the
bodies. One Of the men, Constable
Taylor, had become crazed by his suf-
! ferings and had blown his head off
with his shotgun.
Fitzgerald's will was drawn as he
lay beside the dead body of Exon
stable Carter, whom he blamed for the
party's misfortunes. 1t concluded with
the words God bless ALL" and 1t gave
his money and papers to Only dearly
beloy ed mother" who lives in Hall

verbatim copy of the will of twenty
two words to be printed until Mrs
FITZGERALD has seen the document.
Fitzgerald was in ottawa two years
ago and at that time Colonel White
says, 81 TOLD him ! did not feel like
sending him back. [ told him he had
lived long enough in that country, but
he said he preferred to go back.
thereupon told Sir Wilfrid Laurie1
about his excellent record and in con
sequence was able to place in his hands
his commission. At that time he was
a sergeant. He was one of our best
men. We had selected him and the
others to go to the coronation and he
would not have returned again to the
northwest"

Riqht and Wronq Exercise.

The word exercise" covers a multi
tude of sins. 1t is a very loose term
used for any form of physical exer-
ton. be it sweeping out a factory.
walking home from the office or lifting
dumbbells. To say Exercise is bene-
fetal" is Il very inaccurate remark and
very dangerous belief. 1t is neces-
sary to distinguish between right and
wrong exercise AS often as not big
muscles in arms. chest or legs are a
calamity, for they actually shorten life
unless the vital organs are proportion
ately developed 10 take care of them
Men are constantly wearing out their
hearts and arteries with some form of
violent work they call exercise" If
continued they would die of arterio-
scleroSis. A pretty good general rule
for these men to go by is to take no
form of exercise after they are grown
up that they cannot keep on with until
they are old men.-J. Edmund Thomp-
son in National Magazine.

VIEWS OF SENATORS
LaF gillette and Culberson Regard De.
cision AS Dangerous One.

Washington, May 17-Expresslons
from United States senators on the
Standard Oil decision were obtained
as follows:
Senator LaFollette-"1 look at it as
a dangerous decision; for if it be true,
as Justice Harlan indicates, that com
binations TO be unlawful must be in
unreasonable restraint of trade. the
court has written into the statute
a word congress refused to insert and
for which the trusts fought and were
defeated"
Senator compulsory jail
sentence for violators of the law is
the one thing now needed"
Senator Culberson-"The opinion of
the majority as to the construction of
the act is pure judicial legislation, for
which the trusts have been contend
ing for fifteen years and which will be
used by them to further their combi
nations and conspiracies against
trade"

PURE FOOD LABELS.
They Were Used In Palestine as Early
=. as the Year $50 B. c.

They Were Used In Palestine as Early
RI as the Year $50 3. c.
Professor George A. Reisner Of Har-
ward university discovered among
some specimens Of earliest Hebrew
writing in the excavations of the city
of Samaria, In Palestine, a most inter
esting record Of the first pure food
laws in history. He also found an
cient writings dealing with the first
instance on record Of the keeping Of
wines in q government warehouse I'm
der bond.
Dating back to the period of King
Ahab, $50 +. c., these inscriptions are
considered to be one Of the greatest
finds Of the Harvard Palestinian ex-
petitions which delved into the city Of
Ahab and Omri for three years. They
found labels on wine and oil jars.
These mention the wear in which the
wine was laid down in the cellars Of
the palace storehouse, and they state
the vineyard from which the wine
came, important facts that are recOg-
nized equally well by winners today.
On the oil jars the label runs, "A jar
of pure Oil" with the mention Of the
district from which the oil came. The
bits Of pottery on which the descrip-
tons were written were not parts of
the jars, but were evidently intended
to be attached to the necks of the re-
ceptacles, just as are labels or seals
at the present time,-New York World.

THE END OF TUBERCULOSIS

By MISS ETHEL VAN BEN
THUYSEN.

In Troy SO per cent of the chill
dren in the orphanage lost their
parents by tuberculosis, and they
were exposed to it from the era
die. In Albany II per cent Of
the children in our orphanage
show a predisposition to the dis
ease. These children not only
have to start life dependents. but
are likely to fall down In their
struggle to be self supporting.
Here is dependency caused not
by the spirit of pauperism; here
are human lives made ineffective
simply by the direct and deadly
work Of the tubercle bacilli.

New York, May 17.-With the United
States Supreme court order for the
Standard Oil company to wind up it's
affairs and cease business within six
months but few hours DID, officie Is
of the corporation have begun to for
mulate plans.
These plans, tentatively made after
an all-night session in the company's
offices at 26 Broadway, are known to
include:
l. To observe the strict ruling of the
decision without attempt of evasion.
2. To cut off those subsidiaries which
have brought it under condemnation.
3. To organize some company which
can operate such of it's properties as
will not violate the law.
John D. Archibold, William Rookie
Teller and other officials high in the
offices of the Standard are still reti-
cent in discussing the affairs of the
company.
Representatives of Mr.. Archbold de-
clared no statement would be made
until after the full text of the deci-
sion had been digested.
Many attorneys express themselves
as of the opinion that the Standard
had really gained a victory.
Henry Wellman, a prominent New
York attorney, who was counsel for
the state of Missouri in It's custer suit
against the oil company, was one of
these.
"1f l am correct in my analysis of
the decision" he said in a statement
issued, "the so-called combinations, if
they have led clean lives, have gained
a most important victory in that the
supreme court has held the test under
the Sherman law is whether or not
the purpose and intent CT the success
full combinations is to blot out COM
petition regardless of the means en-
ployed. The contention Of the gov
eminent had been that any monopoly
is illegal regardless of motive or con-
duct.
''The Standard Oil company will not
try to evade the spirit of the decision.
''In the future the company will not
attempt to do these things which have
brought its recent trouble. In fact
my judgment is that If it had been
judged on it's record of more recert
years it would not have been founC
guilty"
An estimate prepared by Congress
man Littleton of New York shows
there are LILO compani s organized
along the same lines as the Standard
which control 5000 subsid airy corpor
atoms having an aggregate of capita
amounting to $10,60O, 100000.
1t does not necessarily follow, how
ever, that every combination of capita
is unlawful and in violation of thu
Sherman antitrust law. Under a rul,
laid down by the court, from which
Associate Justice Harlan alone dis
sented, combination to be illegal
must exercise an undue and unreason
able restraint CT trade.

Crown Point, Ind, April 2S.-The re-

went over the embankment at the side
of the Cedar Lake road near the half
way house on Wednesday night were
taken to Chicago Heights on an auto
mobile truck to be repaired and reas-
sembled. The wreck of the machine
was the most complete recorded in this
vicinity in some time and those review
ing the wreck at the scene of the acct
dent yesterday marveled at the most
miraculous escape from death or seri-
Gus injury of the occupants of the car.
The machine in going down the steep
embankment of about eight feet, head
on" plowed into the ground hosting
the machine out of shape and experts
claim that several hundred dollars will
vanish into the repairmans pocket pc
fore the car can be called as good as

T. No new bridges would obstruct the
