SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM In a recent issue of his Sentinel, “Colonel” Allen wants to know what inspired C.J- Pryor of the Pioneer to write “the editorial he did on the legislature candidate,” etc. And the Colonel further asserts that Budweiser, éocktails, etc., will “inspire.” As the “Colonel’s” gen- erously tinted probosces indicates, he is a competent judge of the liquid “inspiration” which causes men to see things in a roseatte hue. But rest, assured, “‘Colonel,” that the “inspiration” referred to was not occasioned by deeds for lots on the famed townsite of Lavina. Further, we don’t indulge in Man- hattans or Budweiser, “Colonel.” SOME HAVE SMALL SOULS. A Frenchman claims to have succeeded in photographing into visible semblance a human soul. As difficult a task as he has accom- plished we propose one more diffi- cult—that he photograph the soul of the man who takes the country newspaper for a number of years, inspiring confidence ' in the publish- ers that he will some day pay for it, even dunning himself for it,and then some day send it back through the postoffice marked “refused” with a large bill unpaid. If the Frenchman can do that he can photograph infinity and science will bow at his feet. . LIBELLING MINNESOTA. is a Minnesota weather story that is positively libelous: A well-to-do cattle man of the parched district of Arizona was brought to a Minnesota hosital to undergo a surgical operation. Be- fore going to the table the afflicted man made the request that in the event of death his body be cre- mated. The operation was unsuc- cessful and the man died. The body was sent to a Saint Paul crematory, where it was thrust into the fiery furnace. After it had remained in the furnace the time required to reduce it to ashes, one of the attendants opened the door and was surprised to see the man alive and in the best of health. The man raised up in his iron box and angrily exclaimed: “For the good Lord’s sake, shut that door; this is the first time I have been warm since I struck Minnesota.” Here Fastidious Smokers. “Did you know,” asked one member of a group In the hotel lobby, “that an Indian is much more fastidious than a ‘white man in the matter of smoking? I saw when I was in Montana several of their war dances and the councils afterward. You know, they sit in a circle on the ground and pass the pipe -of good fellowship around in silence. Each man takes two or three puffs and then hands the pipe to his next neighbor. But if you notice you will see that in the whole circuit which it makes the mouthpiece is never wet. The red man merely lays the end of the stem against his lower lip and, keeping his mouth partly open, draws a deep breath. Removing the pipe, he exhales the smoke and then perhaps repeats the process, but he never puts the mouthpiece into his mouth in the common ‘paleface’ fashion. If he Is asked to smoke a peace pipe after a white man, he first wipes off the end of the plpestem where it has been In the previous smoker’s mouth.”—New York Times. The Lecturer's Subject. “I call my lecture ‘Glass,’ ” said the lecturer, “not because It says anything about that subject, but because of the nature of it. To begin with, it is the sort of lecture that anybody can see through. Then I am llable to make a number of breaks in its delivery, after which It will be full of funny cracks. In addition, it requires a lot of sand to produce it, to say nothing of the hot air employed. The agents have blown it pretty much to the commit- tees. “Another point of resemblance be- tween my lecture and glass is that when cut it is much more valuable. I shan’t refer to the subject any more, though it is not a safe one to drop. The prineclpal reason for my selection of this name anyway is my knowledge of the fascination foreign titles have for the American people.” But noticing that the audience had hurried away the lecturer desisted.— Chicago News, Every One of Them a Bird. A current newspaper item is as fol- lows: “The wife of a Methodist minis- ter in West Virginia has been married threé tlmes. Her maiden name was Partridge; her first husband was named Robin, her second Sparrow, and the present one’s name is Quayle. There are now two young Robins, one Sparrow and three little Quayles in the family. One grandfather was a Swann, and another was a Jay, but he's dead and now a bird of Paradise.

GROSSCUP WRITES OPINION Federal Circuit Court of Appeals for Seventh District, by Unanimous Vote, Differs With Trial Court on Three Vital Points and Remands Case With Instructions for Retrial in ‘Accordance With Decision. Chicago, July 23.—By unanimous opinion of the United States circuit court®of appeals for the Seventh dis- trict the famous case of the govern- ment against the Standard Oil com- pany, in which the latter was fined $29,240,000 by Judge Landis in the district court, must be retried. The court of appeals differs with the trial court on three vital points, holding that Judge Landis excluded ‘evidence for the Standard Oil com« pany of Indiana which should have been admitted to show proper intent in the rate the company paid on oil; that he erred in considering each car lot a separate offense and that in im- posing the maximum fine for a first offense he abused the discretion vest- ed in his court. It is strange doc- JUDGE PETER 8. GROSSCUP. trine, says the opinion, whereunder a million dollar corporation such as the defendant—the Standard Oil company of Indiana—may be fined twenty-nine times the amount of its capital stock in order to punish a defendant not even under indictment. By this latter is meant the parent company, the Standard Oil company of New Jersey. Judge Grosscup Wrote Opinion. This opinion, concurred in by Judges Baker and Seaman, was deliv- ered by Judge Grosscup, who wrote it. The concluding sentence of the opinion reads: 5 “The judgment of the district court is reversed and the case remanded with instructions to grant a new trial and proceed further in accordance with this opinion.” News of the decision spread like a prairie fire through the federal build- ing, reaching the office of United States District Attorney Edwin Sims with unwelcome speed. He held a hurried conference with his asgistants who had aided him in the prosecution before the district court, after which he said: “All I can say now is that what has happened was not expected. However, we shall make the best of it. Un- doubtedly there will be an early re- trial of the case.” . The decision just handed down was on the appeal made by the Standard Oll company of Indiana from the ver- dict rendered April 15, 1907, by which the company was found guilty of ac- cepting rebates and was later fined by Judge Landis of the United States district court $29,240,000, the max- imum under the counts of the indict- ment. . . The specific charge against. the Standard Oil company of Indiana was that it had accepted rebates on ship- ments of oil in carload lots from ‘Whiting, Ind., to East St. Louis, IIL, over the Chicago and Alton railroad. Evidence was adduced at the trial showing that the company received rates one-third as large as"other ship- pers were obliged to pay. It was contended by the counsel for the oil company that the rate was not secret, but the jury found otherwise. Effort to Adjust Differences. Scranton, Pa., July 23.—Grand Mas- ter Frank Hawley of the Switchmen’s union came here from Buffalo to join the Delaware, Lackawanna and West ern grievance committee in adjusting differences with General Superintend- ent Clarke of the Lackawanna Tail- road over the discharge of crews on the Buffalo and other divisions for refusal to work short handed contrary to agreement.

Birmingham, Ala, July 23.—Two trainloads of imported strikebreakers were placed in the mines in the Bir- ingham district with military escort and there was not the least interfer- 'ence on the part of strikers or gym- pathizers.

John ‘A. Aylward Again Seeks Nom.| Ination for Governor. B Milwaukee, July 23.—The Demo- order at the Alhambra theater by State Chairman H. H. Manson, who, after reading the call, made- the an-! nouncement of the selection of Melvin, ‘W. Hoyt as temporary chairman. Mr. Hoyt immediately delivered a lengthy speech, in which he fiayed op- posing parties. " In closing he paid a ‘warm tribute to the Democratic pres- idential candidate, William Jennings Bryan. 7 At the conclusion of Mr. Hoyt’s Bpeech the various district, chairmen announced the makeup of the various committees, after which an adjourn- ‘ment was taken for the day. All gossip in connection with the convention has been confined to the makeup of a state ticket, the plat: form seemingly being a side issue. John A. Aylward, who ran for gov- ernor two years ago and was defeated, is out for the nomination again and is likely to get it. There has been considerable talk of opposition to Ayl ward, but it has not been strong enough to cut much of a figure. The opposition to him seems to be with- out a leader who has strength enough to gather anywhere near a majority of the delegates. Burt Willlams of Ashland is- the most prominently spoken of for sec ond place. For secretary of state T J. Cunningham of Chippewa Falls is in the lead. Byron Barwig of May- ville and E. A. Evans of Baraboo are mentioned for state treasurer and at- torney general; respectively, and Henry Neuens of Sheboygan and Henry Fetzer of Sturgeon Bay will be presented for insurance commissioner. There seems to be no doubt about H. H. Manson of Wausau being re elected state chairman. SCHOONER SUNK BY ~ THE MAYFLOWER I;resident’s Yacht Runs Down Another Vessel. Newport, R. I, July 23.—The pres- {dent’s yacht Mayfiower, with the pres- ident on board, in a dense fog ran into and sunk the Iluniber~ laden schooner Menawa. All on board .the schooner, consisting of the captain and five men, were taken on board the Mayflower. The president’s yacht had her bowsprit and one anchor car- ried away, but the jar of the collision ‘was 80 slight that none of the presi- dent’s party knew of the accident un- til they arose in the morning.

Birmingham, Ala., July 23.—In an Interview here Governor Comer of Alabama announced that the state would resist in the courts the in- crease In freight rates as proposed by the general managers of railroads south of the Ohio and east of the Mis. sissippi rivers. STATIONS BURNED BY NIGHT RIDERS Rallroad Permitted Troops 1o _ E:mp on Property. Hopkinsville, Ky., July ‘23.—Night riders burned the station houses of the Illinofs Central railroad at Gracey, in Christian county; at Cerulean, in Trigg county, and: at Otter Pond, in Caldwell county. The Illinole Central had just given permission to Madison- ville soldiers on duty_ in the night rider reglon to camp on its property at Cobb, near Otter Pond. The ac tlon aroused much indignation. Two ‘weeks ‘ago when a squad of soldiers visited Cobb they were ordered away, Menawa belonged to C. G. Pendleton of Islesboro, Me. The collision oc- curred when the Mayflower was be tween New London and New Haven. The crew of the schoonar wora in, troduced to the president in the cabin of the Mayflower. He expressed great concern regarding the accident, his regret of the loss of their vessel and his gratitude at the rescue with out loss of life. The crew of-the Menawa will be sent to their homes in Maine at the expense of the government. X DEATH OF BISHOP POTTER Noted Prelate Had Been IIl for Some Time. Cooperstown, N. Y. July 23— Henry Codman Potter, seventh Prot- estant Episcopal bishop of the diocese of New York, is dead at “Fernleigh,” his summer home here, after an ill- ness of several weeks. The end was peaceful and quiet. The prelate was seventy-four years old. Death was due primarily to em- bolism of the right leg, following a long attack of liver and stomach trouble, and the end had been fore- seen for several days by the bishop's physiclans. . Henry Codman Potter, seventh Protestant Episcopal bishop of the diocese, was a native of Schenectady, N. Y. He had been the head of the New York diocese since 1887, succeed- ing his uncle, Bishop Horatio Potter. In addition to the heavy duties of the oversight of the largest diocese in point of population in the United States Bishop Potter took an active part in movements of national fm. portance. The bishop did much to promote more cordial relationships be- tween employers and employes and when occasion demanded lent his ef- forts to improve the standard of mu- nicipal government in New York city. . Hitchcock Goes to Denver. Colorado Springs, Colo., July 23.— Frank H. Hitchcock, chairman of the Republican national committee, who has just closed a two days’ conference at the Antlers hotel, Colorado Springs; with leaders of seventeen Western states, has left for Denver. He will not-hold any set political conferences in Denver, but probably will talk over the situation in Colorado with such leaders as did not come-to the con- ference here. Japs Send Invitation to Frisco. San Francisco, July 23.—The local chamber of commerce has received a Joint invitation from the chambers of commerce of the Japanese citles of 'Toklo, Kyoto, Osaka, Yokohama and Kobe asking that representatives be sent to visit these places. The invita- tion was cabled to Japanese Consul General Chose Koike of thig city with the request that it be extended to San Francisco, Portland and Seattle, How to Fill Up Holes In Wood.

A Little Card Trick. ¢ A Russian priest was so devoted to the amusement of card playing that .he played up to the last moment be- fore commencing the church services. On one occasion, having a particularly good hand dealt him, he thrust the cards into his pocket, intending to re- turn and finish the game after the service. Unluckily the cards fell out on the church floor, to the extreme scandal of the congregation. The wit- the occasion.

HIS process was to dis- solve lumps of sugar in molten iron, subjecting the solution to enormous ‘pressure. Lump sugar may be said to consist simply of water and diamond. It is the case that the diamond is mere- 1y crystallized carbon. There are three kinds of carbon—plumbago, graphite and diamond—the composition of all of ‘which 1s identical. When charcoal is dissolved in molten ron, graphite is formed. All the diamonds found in Borneo, Brazll, India and South Africa are made in much the same manner— that is, by the action of great heat and enormous pressure. Charcoal formed from wood has been baked into dia- monds, the enormous heat and pres- sure of the earth’s interior causing the beautiful white stone to crystallize out.
