Has Fear of Big Trusts.

Persistent questioning by the sen ators failed to make Martin dlvulge what the antitrust league" was or who composed it. He declined to give names of members or tell of the dis position of thousands of dollars he said it had spent.
 Martin testified that H. l.. Lock wood of Oklahoma was originally it's
 president; he was secretary; Cotter T. Bride of this city was treasurer, and Herman Schulteis, also of Wash ington, was counsel. At one time the league" depended on Attorney-Gen- eral Monett of Ohio for legal advice, he said.
 Martin declined to give names of the leagues members, because they would suffer the anger of the great trusts, who would ruin, blacklist them and secure their discharge from em- ployment.
 Martin gave the legislative commit tee of the league" as consisting of himself, Lockwood, Schulteis, Monett, Bride and w. B. Fleming of Ken tncky; c. J. Van Vorhis of Indiana, William Trent of Illinois, w. c. La Toilette of Wisconsin, P. E. Dow of New York and w. H. Green of Ne braska.
 He claimed he had presented to the secretary of the navy evidences of frauds in armor plate contracts and that he had given information to other government officials regarding viola tions of law by the railroad trust, coal trust, steel trust, harvester trust, and elevator trust" at cost of more than S100,000.
 Martin testified he had worked for the money trust" investigation and had a conference with Lamar who favored it, but he had nothing to do with drawing the investigation reso- lution.

 While Douglas is justly proud of the building which ornaments the Front street of the town, we have nc less reason to be proud of the institution which has come to fl long-felt want. Douglas has indeed long felt the need of a bank, and we have one now of SO sure and solid a character Chat it will gain aud hold the utmost confidence of all. The directorate is composed of men of whose character, honor aud ability there can be no doubt.

Cure for Discomfort.

Women are taught very wrongly
about love. They are allowed to read
love stories at a tender age and to
form totally false notion OF love.
They see themselves as charmers at
a very early age. They begin trying
to captivate. to charm, to enslave the
opposite sex before they are out OF
the nursery. They live and die
many, many OF them-without ever in
the least understanding the truth
about love. or, in fact. about anything
else.
Women are very envious by nature.
