Omaha is great distributing point for

Germs deal in this commodity, supply wholesale
and retail houses throughout considerable ter
ritory Yet, when the attorney general of the
United States sets out to get at the facts in
connection with the sugar trade of the United
States, he allots a single day to Omaha. How
can comprehensive nquiry-be made in that
length of time. Certain witnesses were ex-
amined, and some facts testified to that would
be astonishing. had not the information given
been to considerable extent notorious. Con-
troll and manipulation of the sugar market
through understandings between dealers has

investigation which final judgment should

batter but not destroy the earth.
That the earth was once destruc-
lively bombarded by a meteoric
storm is abundantly testified to by
old-age myths that still survive and
are as authentic as the myth of the
flood"
The Milwaukee meteor was un-
doubtedly a huge bolide weighing
tons that struck a glancing blow on
the upper atmospheric envelope and
passed on into space, moving 1850
miles a minute. more than 100000
miles day. 1t did not land in Lake
Michigan, despite the Mother Goose
Br'er-Jasper astronomer who was
quoted In press reports as saying that
sudden transforms are caused by
meteors, and then detailed some
wild winds and furious rains around
Lake Michigan. If the big bolide
struck in the lake somebody would
have seen it, for, as l understand
conflicting reports, the event hap
pened in twilight. If it had hit the
water it would have made splash
big enough to have been seen so
miles away. w. H. LYNCHARD.
