Through proceedings carried on by the attorney general of Texas, the Waters-Pierce Oil company, which is a part of the Standard Oil monopoly, has been fined $1,623,900 for violating the anti-trust law of Texas. It also j is to be ousted from the state. In Indiana however, Attorney General Bingham and his large collection of deputies and assistants are hunting down the constables and justices of the peace who are charged with extortion. When these ferocious offenders have been attended to. the attorney general will probably take a long rest. The Presbyterian Banner says of the great democratic leader: He is a grand Christian. The fact of his faith stands out in all his ways, his conversation, his table talks, his lectures, his private and public life. He is a man of the broadest charity, kindly in judgment and speech, and a Christlike spirit shines through his character and life. He is greatly interested in the work of all churches, but especially in the work of the Presbyterian church. He has grown and ripened with the years and has come to the summit of his powers. What the future has in store for him, to what use God will put him, time will tell. The first thing the beef trust did after publishing its statement that its foreign trade had been hurt by last

year's revelations was to raise the prices of dressed meats. Os course the trust did not give this reason for raising prices. The reason it did give was that the cattle raisers were withholding their cattle from the market. Then it came out that the trust would not pay for them until after they had been slaughtered and inspected. This would have given the trust a double advantage over the cattle raisers. The latter were willing that their stock should be inspected on the hoof, but I were not willing to take their chances on inspection after slaughter. In other words, the raisers would stand half the chances, but not all of them,which seems reasonable. In the meantime ' meat-eaters pay the freight. Collier's Weekly, independent, speaks rather harshly of vice-president Fairbanks, Indiana's republican candidate • for the presidential nomination as follows: In school he was a mollycoddle; in early manhood the favored of rich relatives; as a lawyer, he advanced himself by guile and subtlety; and in politics he has come to stand for all that is insidious and evil. He buys his way. He trades in legislation. He is partly the tool and partly the subtle leader of moneyed influences which seek to overreach the people. His record tells the story—his public and official record. Some of the newspapers of this section will sell the life of Marvin Kuhns, the dead horse thief, bandit and murderer. This book ought to contribute materially to the moral uplift of the community. Parading the multitudinous crimes of the notorious outlaw before the rising generation ought at least be equal in salutary effort to reading dime yellow-backed literature. The community at large could well afford to buy the whole Marvin Kuhns edition and bury the books in a grave beside the dead bandit —and bury them so deep that no boy or girl in the country would ever be able to i see one of the pages. We’ve heard : enough of Kuhns. —Kendallville News.

NOTES FOR THE FANS. Portland took the first game from West Baden Monday 6 to 3. They have now won three of four games on their trip and the fans seem satisfied that they will leave a good account of themselves for the rest of the trip. —Portland Review. Maggart's batting was a feature of the Wheeling-Evansville game Monday. “Mag” got two hits for three bases, one for two bases and a single. Pittsburg will doutless put Jn a call for Mag before long. Decatur fans are enthusiastic over their team, and are figuring on the independent championship. To date Decatur has won six of eight, while Bluffton has an even break, winning five and losing five.—Ft. Wayne News. ‘Biddy’’ Burns is manager, captain and first "knocker" of the newly organized Napoleon, 0., team. Decatur's fast salaried team will play the Ft. Wayne Shamrocks at league park next Sunday. Decatur has won six out of eight games played, having played their first game on Decoration day.—Ft. Wayne News. In order to do away with all possibility for a fuss it is quite likely that in the future all ground rules will be done away with on the Frankfort grounds and there will be no such thing as one base on a passed ball their will be no disputes over a blocked ball or over a wild throw. The man handling the ball will have to be careful how he throws it. —Frankfort Crescent. Webber, of Dayton, Ohio, formerly with the Hartford City team before tee latter disbanded, will arrive here Friday to join the locals. He was secured by the management and bears the reputation of being an extremely fast man. —Bluffton News. Pitcher Grubbs asked for his release last night. His request was granted and he left the city this morning. He left on a south bound car, but his point of destination is not known. Grubbs is a good man, but he has not been in form and realized the fact. —Bluffton News. First baseman Harden, with Hartford City when the latter team was in existence, arrived in the city today for a try-out with the Bluffton team.

He will play in today’s game—Bluffton News. Manager Behringer seems to have instilled a little of that “lemon spirit" into his Decatur bunch. —Frankfort Crescent. The members of the local team returned today after being five days on the road during which time they played four games, winning half of the series and should have won the game at Frankfort, but were help up for it. However, an even break on the road is all right and is a god record for any team to make considering the strong independent teams that are in the state. The boys lost the game at Lebanon yesterday by a score of eight to four. Geyer, the southpaw, started in to pitch with a sore arm, and after pitching six innings, was relieved by Burns, who did very creditable work .and not a hit was registered off his delivery. Although tired out, the boys say they will be in shape to give Dunkirk the game of their life. A new outfielder named Nash -was recured yesterday at Lebanon by Manager Behringer, and accompanied the team home. Whose place he will take we are unable to state. Dunkirk comes tomorrow for a series of two games, and the fans will be treated to real baseball. Dunkirk is strong and the boys will have to go some to defeat them. Their pitching staff consists of Rube Waddell Harry Hay, Romine and Carmichael, and is reputed as being the strongest in independent circles today. SEVERAL SURPRISES (Continued from page 1.) of the church next Friday afternoon, June 14- A cordial invitation is given to all.

If a pare clothes law should he passed and pure clothes inspectors pointed bv the government, special hoj. orable mention would be given to th e XTBA GOOD brand we sell. The rep,, tation of onr goods would be immensely increased. Every one would want to buy of us. Moreover, if such laws required the strictest sanitary precautions on the part of the makers and prescribed a high standard of quality for linings anfl cloths and called for a certain grade of tailoring for garments at each price from the lowest to the highest, we would be found to exceed requirements in every particular. From beginning to end our Boys’ Clothes are made to give the utmost wear and satisfaction, and the prices are reasonable. Holthouse, Schulte & Co, Good Clothes Seiler for Men and Boys
