GAVE A FINE ENTERTAINMENT. The people of Lee are anxious for another entertainment like the one given by Mr- and Mrs. Ostander, the blind musicians, Saturday night at the hall. It was a decided success, and they interested the people with songs, music, reading, solos and duets. Many of the people requested them to give another entertainment. They surely proved themselves masters of their profession, Their fancy work was soon all sold, the supply being entirely inadequate for the demand. We are glad to know that these Christian people are worthy of and have the sympathy of the people here. Their affliction like other afflictions brings with it its train of sorrows, sorrows that only a parent can feel. To know their inability on account of being blind to exercise properly the duty of parents in bringing up a bright little son and forced to put him in the care of others to save themselves and their child from the disgrace that necessarily falls upon parents of incorrigible boys as well as the boy. xx

SEES REPEAL OF ANTI-TRUST ACT

John D. Archbold on Latest Standard Oil Decision. I- ■ X SAYS LAW IS TOO DRASTIC V Under Present Conditions It Is Not Only Impossible for Corporations to Transact Business, but Even CoPartnerships May Be Attacked, Declares the Vice 'President of the Standard Oil Company—Case To Be Appealed to the Supreme Court. New York, Nov. 23. —Conferences of officials and leading counsel of the Standard Oil company were held, to begin outlining the company’s course following the court’s decision that the trust must be dissolved. Thirty days are allowed before the decree takes effect. Within that time the appeal which the corporation announced that it would take of the United States supreme court will be perfected. “I believe that the decision will result in legislation looking toward the repeal of the Sherman anti-trust act,” said John D. Archbold, vice president, “For under that law it is not only impossible for practically any corporation to transact business, but even copartnerships may be attacked. I believe that the officials at Washington are coming to the viewjthat the law is too drastic and that even Mr. Roosevelt himself shares in that opinion.” Standard Oil stock was again affected on the curb market by the court’s decision. After a fairly quiet opening there was a general outburst of liquidation. Prices in many active issues fell 1 to 3 points.

TAFT AND OIL DECISION

President Believes Findings Have Gained Respect For Sherman Law. Washington, Nov. 23.—1 t is asserted upon high authority that President Taft does not contemplate such radical changes in the Sherman anti-trust law as some of his advisers have insisted were necessary. He has been pleased with the circuit court decision against the Standard Oil company. * The president has said he believes that through these findings the Sherman act will be found to be much more efficacious than its critics have been willing to concede.

BOMB WAS FOR ROTHSCHILD

Explodes and Maims Teacher Who Innocently Was Carrying It. Breslau, Prussia, Nov. 23.—What appears to have been an attempt upon the life of Baron Albert Rothschild of Vienna is reported from Schillersdorf, the Rothschild hunting seat in Upper Silesia. A schoolmaster who was on his way to Schillersdorf was stopped by a man who courteously requested the other to deliver a packet to the baron. The schoolmaster consented and continued on his way, when the parcel exploded, frightfully injuring the bearer.

UNLIKE THE CHERRY MINE

Indiana Operators Take laaue With the State Geologlat. Terre Haute, Ind.. Nov. 23.—Indiana operators regret the statement made by State Geologist Blatchley to the effect that there are fifty'mines in Indiana where conditions exist similar to those at Cherry, 111. It Is said that there is not more than one mine in the state in which the mules are stabled underground. In regard to escape being cut off by reason of the proximity of the escape abaft to the hoisting shaft, on which "Blatchley lays much stress, the operators say there is not a mine- in the state where it would be possible for fire to break out so as to cut off escape by both. It is said that the plan of Blatchley tp make more escape shafts would not be as effective as the simple*etatement may indicate to the layman, because each shaft would have to be partitioned off to permit circulation of air from the ventilating fan through the chambers and workings of the mine. The officials of the United Mine Workers commend the plan.
