Small farms make homes for more people. Every family is worth a cgrtain price to the community. No matter how small the family or how few acres that family cultivates, every business interest in the adjoin- ing city or town is benefitted by the trade added every week throughout the year. Familes must produce something and consume something. The merchants get double profits on all those families in buying their products and selling them necessities More business means greater accum- ulations of wealth, better houses and improved highways. The state and county benefits from increased taxes, and the schools and churches ad- vance because of increasing pat- ronge. Yes, welcome the small far- mer and encourage him in building a permanent home in the land of agri- cultural opportunities.— Brookston Herald. < “T'o run a newspaper,” says one editor, “all a fellow has to do is to be able to write poems, discuss the tariff and> money question, umpire a base ball game, report a wedding, saw wood, describe a fire so that the readers will shed their wraps, make a dollar do the work of 10, shine at a dance, measure calico, abuse the liquor habit, test whiskey, subscribe to charity, go without meals, sneer at snobbery, wear diamonds, invent ad- vertisements, overlook scandal, praise babies, delight pumkin raisers, min- ister to the afflicted, heal the diS- gruntled, fight to a finish, settype, mold opinions, sweep the office, speak at prayer meetings, and stand in with everybody and everything.” OBSERVATIONS. To defer a right determination is to make a wrong one. The acid of envy eats out all hap- piness from the heart. - You cannot get high moral tone out of loose muscular wires. If you do not know how to let up you do not know how to live. You can do little for humanity without the saving salt of humor. There is no complete understand- ing of a duty untilit ts completed. The man who borrows trouble is little better than the one who makes it. . e When we confess to our own faults usually we are thinking of our neigh- bor’s. It is strange that when some folks talk about lifting up their hearts they | are sure to pull down their faces. Bathing costumes this year still follow, in a general way, as hereto- fore, the styles set by the mermaids and the fishes. Things haven’t got so everlasting hot in Ohio yet that we have to sus- pend trust busting and give our attention to Bnckeye politics. The lady bugs do not seem partic- ularly anxious to eat the green bugs. It may yet become necessary to serve the green bugs with mayonnaise dressing. Proof of Merit. The proof of the merits of a plaster is the cures it effects, and the vol- untary testimonials of those who have used Allcock’s Plasters during the past sixty years is unimpeachable evidence of their superiority and should convince the most skeptical. Self-praise is no recommendation, but certificates from those who have used them are. Allcock’s are the original and genuine porous plasters and have never been equaled by those who have sought to trade upon their rep- utation by making plasters with holes in them.

WAR ON BIG TRUST Government Begins Suit Againsi Tobacco Combination, (A0 A N OCTOPUS GROWING RAPIDLY Petition Declares That at an Early Day, Unless Prevented, Consoll dated Concerns Will Completely Monopolize the Entire Industry. New York, July 1 .—The govern: menL has filed in the United States olrcuit court in this city a petition against the American Tobacco com- pany, the Imperial Tobacco company, the British-American Tabacco com pany, the American ‘Snuff company, the American Cigar. company, the United Cigar Stores company, the Amerlcan Stogle company, the Mac- Andrews & Forbes company, the Con- ley Foil company and fifty-six other corporations and twenty-nine individ- uals connected with the named com- panies. These corporations and in- dividuals constitute what'is generally known as the tobacco trust and the petition directed against them sets forth the purpose of the government to dissolve this trust by breaking up the agreements under which the con- solidated concerns are working. In/| showing the growth of the trust since its organization in 1890 the conclu sion is reached that at an early day, unless prevented, it would completely monopolize the entire tobacco indus- try. That all of the defendants are en: gaged in interstate and foreign trade and commerce in the tobacco and products manufactured therefrom is alleged by the petition. It is stated that the act of July 2, 1890, “to pro tect trade and commerce,” and sub- sequent acts have been violated and the government therefore seeks tc prevent and restrain the unlawful ex- isting agreements, combinations and conspiracies and attempts to monopo- lize and break up perfected monop- olies. Injunction or Receiver Asked. The government asks that the exist- ing combinations, conspiracies and monopolies be enjoined and that each of the defendant companies be re strained from holding or controlling stock in-any other. It is asked fur- ther that the Imperial Tobacco com- pany be enjoined from doing business within the jurisdiction of the United States until it shall cease to observe the terms of its agreement with Amer- ican companies; that certain defend- ants be declared combinations in re- straint of trade and be enjoined from engaging in interstate and foreign trade and commerce, or that a receiver be appointed to take charge of their affairs and administer them so as to bring about conditions in harmony with the law. The organization of the tobacco trust, according to the petition, dates from the formation of the American Tobacco company in 1890 to acquire five competing cigarette manufactur- ers with joint assets much less than $26,000,000 and an annual consump- tlon of leaf under 15,000,000 pounds. The petition shows the subsequent history, development and growth of the company until its total assets now exceed $275,000,000 and likewise the origin and manipulation of scores of created, acquired and controlled corporations utilized as agencies to accomplish the general design; the progressive absorption and elimina- tion of competitors and destruction of formidable opposition™ and the “entry by defendants into various depart- ments of manufacture and trade, do- mestic and foreign, into tobacco prod- uets with intent to monopolize. World’s Business Parcelled Out. Thg allegation is made that the members of the combination have divided up the tobacco business of the world, assigning to each special terri- tory for unmolested exploitation. It is declared that the consolidated cor- porations annually purchase 475,000, 000 pounds of the domestic leaf and of the total produced in the United States manufacture, sell and dis- tribute more than 280,000,000 pounds (80 per cent) of the smoking and plug tobaccos, 95 per cent of the snuff, 80 per cent of the cigarettes, 76 per cent of the small cigars, 96 per cent of the licorice products, 80 per cent of the tin foll products and 10 to 15 per cent of the cigars and stogies; that they are rapidly acquiring control of the ordinary agencies—jobbers, whole- salers and retailers—through which tobacco products are distributed. Of the total annual production of domestic tobacco, estimated at 800, 000,000 pounds, 76 per cent is pur- chased by the American Tobacgo com- pany and its associates and its allies at prices which the government al- leges to be unlawfully influenced by the combination. An interesting chapter of the peti- tlon is devoted to methods of distribu- tion of tobacco products. The Amewn jcan Tobacco company in 1901, the petition states, secretly acquired con- trol of the United Cigar Stores com- pany (for a long time thereafter de- nied) und through it retail tobacco stores are established in the large cities, which, by reason of the power- ful support and influence of the com- bination, quickly -secured a dominat- Ing position in the trade and destroyed competitors. In filing its bill of complaint the government hag dellvered one of the most decisive blows it has yet struck since President Roosevelt began the campaign against the trusts.

There has heen bad feeling between what is known as the ‘“regular” ele- vator men and those who have main- tained independent elevators, but now the contest has reached a crucial point. It is probable that the first slep to be taken against the co-opera: tives is to prosecute them for alleged violations of the new Stillman law, an Towa statute that prohibits combina: tlons and working agreements among elevator men, SIX BELIEVED TO BE DEAD Workmen Buried by Collapse of Philadelphia Building. Philadelphia, July 1 .—Six workmen are believed to have been killed by the collapse of the Bridgeman Bros.' building on Washington avenue below Fifteenth street. One body, that of John Marshall, has been taken from the debris and at least five others are In the ruins. At the time of the col- lapso about twenty-five men were at work on the structure. The building was a reinforced con- crete structure and when the east wali began to crumble many of the workinen jumped and escaped with their lives. A number of others were carried down beneath the hundreds of tons of concrete and if they were not Instantly killed it is believed they cannot survive their injuries until the rescuers reach them. Scores of men are at work endeavoring to reach the unfortunate workmen, but the work of rescue is necessarily slow because of the immenge weight of the debris which must be removed: Concrete and huge girders are piled as high as the second story of the structure. Bridgeman Bros. are manufacturers of steamfitters’ supplies and were constructing an addition to their fac- tory. The cause of the collapse of the structure is not known. One theory is that the foundation weakened and another Is that the contractors re- moved some of the wooden supports before the concrete had thoroughly hardenéd. OVER ITS ENTIRE LINE. Burlington Road Will Put Two-Cent Fare Into Effect. Omaha, July 1.—Assistant General Passenger Agent Buckingham of the Burlington railroad has announced that within ten days the Burlington would put in operation a 2-cent fare schedule between all points on that system regardless of whether or not the different states have passed a 2- The Burlington tra- verses Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Illi- nols, Wisconsip, Minnesota and South Dikota. Clerks are now working on the new schedule and the rate will be placed in operation just-as quickly as the tariff is completed. The action of the Burlington will undoubtedly cause other roads in the same territory to follow suit. ARRIVE AT KINGSTOWN. King Edward and Queen Alexandra in Ireland. Kingstown, Ireland, July 1°.—The royal yacht Victoria and Albert, with King Edward and Queen Alexandra on board, anchored in the harbor here before daylight. The yacht was-escort- ed by the cruisers Black Prince and Antrim. A royal salute was fired at 8 o’clock. The weather was fine, the town was completely bedecked with flags and triumphal arches, all the ves- sels were dressed from stem to stern with bunting and thousands of people poured into Kingstown frem the coun- try in order to witness the landing of their majesti EULOGIZES AMERICAN NAVY Tokio Paper Withdraws. Interview With Admiral Sakamoto. Tokio, July 1.—The Hochi has withdrawn the interview with Ad- miral Sakamoto. The latter was quoted as saying that American naval officers were brilliant social figures, but deficient in professional training and practice and that the crews of American ships would desert rather than fight Japan. Simultaneously with the withdrawal of this futerview the Hochi published an anonymous interview with a Japa- nese naval expert, highly eulogistic of the efficiency of the present American navy and the high standard of its gunnery. Gets Through One Branch, Madigon, Wis,, July 1L—By a vote of 15 to 11 the senate passed the 2 cent fare bill affecting all lines hav- ing a gross earnings of $3,600 per mile. A motion to send the bill im: mediately to the assembly was lost and the bill will not Teach there be: fore twenty-four hours. This may mean the defeat of the measure, as a number of the senators will have re: turned home by that time. Unwritten Law=the Defense. La.
