betrays the artistic sophistication of
the trained writer, as it's story is Of
opponents of social sophistication.
The novel is one with the usual COM
plications incident to marital infideli-
ty, the inevitable triangle in novels of
French life, but its treatment is so I'M
usual, it's heroine, a woman of fifty
five or 50, so out of the accepted order,
its story so enthralling that this does
not strike the reader as lack of Or

The tale is briefly Of certain Mad

happy married life, learns, on the
death of her husband, that he has a
son whose mother is Madame Meyers
first cousin and with whom she has
always sustained the most intimate re-
lations. In despair over having the
whole fabric of her life torn to
shreds she pulls away from every fam

finally develops her literary talents

and their reconciliation is the climax
of the books drama.
This novel possesses a peculiar and
subtle charm-like the far away sound
of bells, of distant music, of beautiful
autumn days, of the melancholy of ex-
istence, of the anguish of death.
In it's artistic phases it is as far
away, say, from Average JONES'" as

Maine Mystery Unsolved.

General w. II. Bixby, chief Of engi.
neers in charge Of the work Of raising
the battIeship Maine in Havana harbor,
is authority for the statement that the
mystery Of the explosion in 1898 never
will be known.
"The destruction TO the vessel was
such" said Gen. Bixby, "and the deter
ioration has been so great that it will
be impossible to tell whether the ship
was blown up from a force within or
without
"The greatest force however was
from the inside indicating that the for
ward magazine had exploded. Whether
this was from a sympathetic explosion
caused by a torpedo from the outside
may forever remain mystery. "

RAILROAD COMMISSION ISSUES
NEW ORDERS.

The Wisconsin railroad commission,
operating under the public utilities law,
proposes to make that law apply auto
matically in the reduction of rates to
consumers without ethe necessity of
public clamor and formal complaint and
trial in each case.
This purpose was disclosed in the
commission decision announced last
week reducing the electric current rates
of the Madison Gas e. Electric company
by about IA per cent. This cut, which
deprives the company Of s24, 900 annual
revenue, was made without formal
complaint and without public hearing.
Imme lately upon the establishment of
the commission in 1903 a Madison news
paper started public campaign to re-
duce the gas and electric rates, and
improve the service. This resulted in
decision a year and half ago sub
stantially cutting the rates. Since
then the commission has kept close
track of the service and revenues of
the company and upon the discovery
that a large increase Of business re-
suited in profits greater than per cent
on the investment, the commission
ordered an investigation upon its own
motion. The company and the city
stipulated to leave the matter to the
commission and have no hearing, and
this substantial rate cut resulted. 1t
is proposed to keep the same close
track of all companies in the state, at
least those that have been the subject
of one complaint

ATLAsT COAL.


At last the government is moving
against the coal trust. 1t has filed a
suit against the Lehigh Valley railway
and certain coal companies, alleging
that the coal companies are mere dunn
mics for the railway and that the rail-
way is violating the commodities clause
Of the interstate commerce law.
This suit is not brought under the
antitrust law But there is a clause
in the inter state commerce law which
forbids a railway from mining coal for
commercial sales. This law, the gov
eminent claims, has been violated by
certain roads and it has started against
the Lehigh Valley to break up the
practice. Through their ownership of
the coal mines the coal railways, using

was at this session that the
Court had decided upon estab-

had filed its subscription list
with the commissioners, it was
decided that the Globe be ap-

matter from a money point of
view but the principle of it.
In the minds of the people of
Mayville after witnessing this
affair, this man belongs in the
penitentiary instead of at large.
He could easily be sent over the
road if half the complaints made
by his wife to our people could
be proven and it can be proven
that she made the complaints.
We people of Mayville do not
begrudge our part of the county
tax in keeping him in the county
Jail until court meets.
If Bro. Fitzmaurice is so con-
cerned as to the expense, we
people of Mayville can perhaps
make up his part of the county
tax. (Which, by the way,
might amount to as much as FIVE
cents.)
If Bro. Fitz. sees fit to go
Anderson's bail and turns him
loose, we would ask it as a
favor that he find a place in
Condor for him to live as we
want it distinctly understood
that we do not need him here.

Mayville, Ore. Feb. 27, 1911.
Editor Condor Globe;

Mayville, Ore. Feb. q, 1911.
Editor Condor Globe;
In re-
ply to the Condor Times article
in regard to the Anderson case
where he says after reading
Mrs. Anderson's letter that he
has come to the conclusion that
there will be no prosecution and
1t is up the district attorney to
see if there is any use keeping
Anderson in Jail until next June
at the expense of the county.
If there is no case against him,
some of his loving friends of
Condor might go on his bonds
and turn him out. The Editor
of the Times for instance. If
Mrs. Anderson's sworn evidence
to the Justice of the Peace is
false may not her letter to the
paper also be false? We people
of Mayville think it cheaper to
board him at the expense of the
County than to turn him loose on
the county only to be brought
up again on some other charge.
Mayville people never had
any trouble of this kind until
this man Anderson came among
us. If the Editor of the Times
thinks the expense so great to
the county we advise him to try
and cut the expense down by
going his bail as he says there
is no case against him Sc of
course there will not be the
least danger of his losing a cent
in going his bail.
We people do not look at this

CLUB VAUDEVILLE

The vaudeville entertainment
given by the Condor Athletic
Club in the American Theatre
on last Friday evening was an
affair of much merit as we'll as
being a success in the financial
way. After all expenses were
paid the Club had remaining the
sum Of $50 which will be added
to the building fund. The one
drawback to the entertainment
was the fact that several of the
numbers were too long drawn
and on that account the program
did not go through with the snap
which has been characteristic Of
the vaudevilles heretofore pre-
tented by TIE Athletic Club. A
few of the best numbers on the
program had to be left out.
The audience was in a receptive
mood and the old rafters of the
Theatre building rang again and
again with applause for the var.
ious numbers. Each of the ren.
ditions are worthy of especial
mention but the crowning effort
of the program, although il
came rather late in the evening,
was the Grafton on Democracy,
The True and the False" giver
by Prof. j. H. Bond of the High
School. There has been some
talk among the Club members
of presenting the same program
| in Fossil about the first,of Apri
but nothing has been definately
decided. Mr.. Williams, tht
president of the Club and the
manager of the vaudevilles, is a
work on another program which
he promises will eclipse any,
thing of the kind ever seen on {
stage in this city.
