LECTURE TOMORROW
NIGHT AT HIGH SCHOOL

Do you care to be initiated into the
mysteries of the Dark Continent un-
der the guidance Of one as masterful
as A. Radcliffe Dugmore? Then come
to the lecture which will be given
by him at High school hall, on Thurs
day evening, March 9. He will tell
you of lions suddenly springing into
the line of vision, during the silent
watches of the night. at only twelve
yards distance, of feelings trembling
with excitement that permitted no
thoughts of fear of a sudden flash
in the darkness. of a photograph pro-
duced simultaneously, of darkness
more intense than before, and then
a quick realization that the next
moment might bring either life or
death.
He will give you similar intimate
pictures Of other wild denizens Of the
African jungles and his vivid word
pictures will be made more vivid still
by the wonderful photographs of his
snap shot victims, pictures so wonder
full that one sees clearly depicted on
the face of the animal. the feelings
of rage and hatred and pain. at the
sudden realization that he has been
trapped. Single admission for this
lecture will be fifty cents. Tickets
for the course of three lectures can
be obtained for one dollar.

According to the Railway Age
Gazette. the roads may decide to take
certain important questions to the
courts. 1t says:
The extent Of the Interstate Com

existing laws. whether or not it has
exceeded that authority. the constitu-
tionality of present laws and the ex-
sent of control over railway rates and
profit which Congress itself may ex-

are all unsettled questions. The de-
cisions in these cases show that the
commission Is cor. hitting itself to a
theory Of regulation which railway
managers cannot accept and. at the
same time. try to keep faith with their
stockholders. 1t is only a matter of
time until the question as to whether
the public management of public utili-
ties while they continue to be private
property is constitutional must be liti-
gated for final settlement These de-
cisions of the commission have brought
this litigation nearer. and 1t would
seem that. since it is inevitable. the
sooner a case directly presenting the
great issues involved is got on it's way
TO the Supreme court the better 1t will

The same questions may come UP
under regula ion of rates by public
utilities commissions in the several
States. and it is to be hoped that the
railroads will proceed to obtain a final
decision from the u. 8. Supreme court.

Mr.. Kemp said Lambert told him
Mrs. Drummond missed her ring
about an hour after she boarded the

the ring on her finger just before she

CONTROLS $4,000 COWS
Dairymen's League Expects Soon to
Dictate Milk Prices.

Middletown, N. Y, March S.-At a
meeting of the Dairymen's League
an organization formed to control the
price of milk, it was announced that
the league had gained control of S0,-
600 cows, and that it would soon be
ready to dictate terms to the Milk
Exchange and dealers in New York
Dairymen owning 5000 cows signed
the league agreement yesterday after
noon.
The Dairymen's Leagues was form
ed in October, 1907, with a stock of
5000 cows. 1t was then stated that
the league would be able to dictate
what prices should be paid the farm
ers for their milk when the league
con- "olled $4,000 animals. Now that
the ,eague claims to control the out
put of $4,000 cows. the menaced war
" i'll soon be reality.
The league is organized throughout
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania.
and Connecticut, and was incorporat-
ed last August in New Jersey.

that such action would bring Wig
