T It ii sheer -folly for the adm'nistratire forces of the government to declare that the supreme court's refusal ;to. review the 'decision of the court of appeals in the Standard Oil case puts a crimp in the efforts to stop rebates. The supreme court did not deride the question before them on any such ground. It merely declared a principle long in operation, that the state and go, ernment has no right of appeal, and tnat the writ of certiorari was not sufficient. The case noiv goes back for retrial by the district: court on the lines laid down by the court o appeal- in its decision That it is a blow to prosecutions is untrue and a false deduction. It was the hope of the majority of those who followed the case with any knowledge that the supreme court would see fit to review the case and pass upon its merit?, thus laying down principles for procedure in other cases pending and to be brought. But the court lookcJ back of the desire to the established principle of no appeal, a principle that ' has been followed with very few exceptions through writs of certiorari through its whole history. 1 The case now goes back for retrial. but the great fine is knocked out. Of course it will be possible for another to be asse-ssei!, but not beyond wesson "and justice. The crime of rebating can he'j.it as readily nunis!:ed if it is proved as tf the court had reviewed the case. Law can be enforced it crime is proved FREE EMPLOYMENT BUREAU. J. L. Peetz, State Statistician, Would Have One Connected with the Office. Au effort is being made by J. L. Peetz,' state statistician, to enlarge the scope erf bis office so as to make it include a State labor employment agency to operate from a central office in Indianapolis Mr. Peetz has been in communication wira Secretary Ross, of the Illinois bureau of labor statistics, concerning the operations of the free agencies in that state and is convinced that a plan somewhat similar may be introduced in Indiana and carried out at an annual cost niot to -exceed $1,000. Mr. Peetz &a.ys his plan is . superior to that proposed by State Senator Nathan B. Hawkans, of Portland, in .hat it couid "be made State-wide and more effective, at a lower cost. Mr. Peetz proposes to set aside ont clerk in the State bureau, to have charge of applications for employment and of applications from employers for laborers, skilled as well as unskilled. He believes that if the State; were to endow the Statistician's (bureau , with the power he proposes, it would place such a labor bureau on a high f lane and would be an immense saving to men and women seeking employment, that are now in large numbers victims of private agtn-cies, which extort large fees and .provide little in return. Mr. Peetz would Jnakc .the bureau free to employment seekers, aside from a 2cent stamp, to be inclosed with each application, to cover tne cost of mailing a reply The report for the Illinois free ageny for the 4S8 weeks of its existence, to December 12, 190S, shows that in that Inn 416,574 applications were made for work, and of this number 358,239 were provided with employment Out of 418,630 applications from employers for help, only 60,341 were unfilled Taking these figures as a basis, Mr. Peetz believes that one clerk" i.i his office can handle the -work successfully in Indiana. FOOT FAST IN THE RAILS. Yaved Handkerchief to Flag Train, but Engineer Could Not Stop Body was Crushed. Crying frantically for htlp ind waving a handkerchief for the fnrinecr to stop, Mrs. Mary Tf ' Butler, Ind., was struck ty & bound B. & O. train ait 1:30 c Wednesday afternoon and instantly killed. The entire train passed over her body and when found she was hardly recognizable. The woman ard her sister came to St. Joe, Ind., Tuciklsy and Mrs. Topper intended to catch a train for Fort Wayne. Her sister let her out of the buggy at the B. & O. crossing and she started to walk down the B. & O. track to r-he W-ibash depot. VT.ien she reached Culbert's crossing she attempted to , go off the track and caught her foot between the rails and was unable to release herself. In an instant B. & O. train No. 7 rounded a curve at tlris point going at a rate of sixty miles an hour. The woman screamed frantically for help and motioned the engineer with a ha ldkerdhief to stop. Her efforts were of no avail and the train was upon her before the engineer could stop it. Every car passed over her 'body ant! when she was picked up sihe was crushed beyond recognition. Nearly every bone fin her body was broken and she was crusSied to a pulp. The train was stopped and the engineer went back and explained flhe matter as he saw it.

WORKS THE OYS-

TER PROBLEM PROVES BY EXHAUSTIVE TESTS THAT BEST IS THE CHEAPEST. State Food Commissioner Says Dealer and! Customer Are Pleased With Rule Barring Water. The state food and drug commissioner, H. E. Barnard, believes he has discovered why f.ie man from the east never eats oysters -twice in the west. The conclusion is made part of his report on the oyster question, which has been very much agitated among dealers isincc the oyster season opened. "Those who have lived on the Atlantic sealboard and know the oyster as the delicious bivalve comes fresh to the table from its native habitat have been doomed to bitter disappointment when they first meet the oyster in an inland state. Usually the newly arrived stranger ordering his stew or fry for the first time concludes that something is vrong with it, and after two or three trials decides he doscn't care for oysters anyhow. "The difference between the oyster served in Baltimore and in Indiana cannot be wholly one of the distant "rem the oyster beds. The method of shipping oysters by express insures their delivery at interior points withn thirty-six hours after being packed nd the loss of flavor cannot be caused by deterioration due to age. It is ndoubtcdly explained by the fact hat rractically all oysters in üis market have until recently been shipped 'n contact with ice and ice water and arrive 'bleached, bloated, flavorless ohantoms, possessing almost nn:e fit heir original attributes.". Oysters Grossly Diluted. The reason stated by Barnard tor his condition is .water. "The oysters offered for sale have been," says he. is apparent by our analysis, grossly diluted with water and the solid .portion of the oyster bloated and swollen, no!: wit'.v its own palatable and nourishing liquors but with water from melted ice. '"It i contended by oyster packers who have been accustomed to '.lipping iced and watered stork ati.l who wish to continue to do so. t'mt ice dcs not increase ;the volume of oysters appreciably, if at all. This contention cannot be correct, tor by comparison mf that percentage of solids in the meat is in one instame 17.06 and in the watered stock 22.0." per cent, in favor of the solid pack and wrnile the solid pack contains 2(.76 per cent of water in the sample, the watered stock contains 45.50 per cent." The. pure food commission ruled that water or ice in- oysters constituted a dilution and woulJ be prosecuted as a violation of the law. "At first some, objection was made t the order because of the fact that jobbers and shippers within the state were not supplied with sufficient containers suitable for shipping oysters out of contact with ice and water. The jobbers "have in a few weeks time obtained special shipping cases to handle their goods properly and the contention of the cheap retailer is met by the almost unanimous opinion of :both the trade and the consumer that 'the solid pack oyster, free from water and ice, is the most e conomical to buy and by far the most palatable to eat. Gives an Example. "Far example one sample of oysters purchased for 35 cents a quart contained 125 grams of oysters and 340 grains of .water; tfiiat is, 73.12 per cent, of thi sample was water and only 26.88 per cent oyster. This sample contained only 4.67 per cent, solid natter. Another sample purchased on :he same day contained 91.29 per cent oysters and 8.70 per cent liquid and the tottal solid matter amounted -to 19.02 per cent. These oysters cost 50 cents a quart, but as they contained 4.08 times as much solid matter as the first sample, they would have been as cheap as tha't sample if actual cost had .been 4.07 times 35 cents, or $1.45 per quart. In ofher words, the sample wbich cost 35 cents was 2.91 dearer than the apparently costlier article." $225,500,000 MOVED ljOOO MILES. Government Makes Long Transfer of Gold Coin Without a Single Mishap. Moving $225,500,000 in gold coin a distance of more than one thousand miles without accident or without loss of a 'dollar is the fe"at just successfully accomplished by the Treasury Department of tie United States rider the supervision of the director of the mint. Owing to the fact that all the principal vaults df , the San Francisco mint had 'become filled with gold coin and the basement and other less secure vaults of the mint had to be used .to store this additional accumulation of gold, it was deemed desirable to move this amount to the new modern vaults of the Denver mint, which are the largest and most secure of any in the United States. Secretary. Cortelyou ordered its transfer. The movement of the coin was begun Aug. 15 and was completed Dec. 19. This is by far the largest transfer of money ever made by the Treasury Department. Will Take Collection Here. Bishop Alcrding, of Fort Wayne, has sent to every priest in the diocese a circular letter calling for collections fr the relief of the earthquake sufferers an Italy. The bishop asks thjt collections be taken not later than Jan. 10. "A special collection for this purpose .will be taken at St. Michael' church in this city, on next Sunday.

BILLY SUNDAY'S BUNC. Rev. Billy Sunday, wholesale dealer in bunc and alderdas'h, recently closed a successful meetirrg at Ottutmva. Iowa. I say that his meeting was a success, because Billy converted 3,732 souls, closed every saloon in the city, and received for rive weeks hard wind-jamming $7,353.77. To put it mildly, he raised hell. People who deny hell, never heard Rev. Bill preach. ' Like Whitefield, of blessed memory who used to convert people by the acre, Billy takes his audience by the scruff of th neck and the slack of their posterior habiliments and suspends it kicking and wriggling over the yawning pit of perdition. When thoroughly saturated with fumes of brimstone he slams his subjects sprawling under the mourner's bench and they confess Jesus in a jiffy. Billy has all the necessary elements for making a successful evangelist He has gall, and believes in hell. Billy knows that if it were not for the hell he preaches, he would be a flat failure. In this respect he is like Whitfield, Wesley and Spurgco" There is however a slight difference between Billy and these old time he!! fire preachers. They did not deal in brimstone fr money. Unlike Billy, they did nt copyright their sermons. Imagin: Christ taking out a copyright on his sermon on the 'Mount, and you will see how closely Billy's methods c onform to His. That's why he had r.o where to lay his head. There is no danger that Billy will ever make invidious comparisons between himself and the birds of the air. Whitfield had dignity, while Sunday has g?2l Unlike Billy he did not shed his ooat in the pulpit and int like a howlincg Dervish. Iiis prayet were not models in slang, and fibke Billy they did not address Jchov.iu in Bowery gibberish. Here :s : sample of Billy's praying: "And, 0 Lord, bless the school children, the high school, the tea-h ers, and the school board; whope. wait a minute there, Jesus, Let nie think that over a bit first, Lord. see. three or four of 'em are all ri.r''t I hardly know about the nth--;. I'll telj y-ouf Jesus, just lump 'em in aid ibless the whole bun;h. !. ? your own mind about it rvd d i-: as you please, but don't blame m? it." From W. A. S.'.n lay's hs: 'raver ii Ottuniwa. If a man could talk to ( ). i:i :i manner, imagine the k nd of langu.-;--in which .-he would address r.n rd.r ary sinner, and yon get a correct v!e. of one of Bill's automatic, back a.: -ing sin-killing, hell-raising, copyrighted sermons. The above prayer is the nnsi wonderful petition ever laid before the throne of grace. In its idiof'c originality it is absolutely uni.ji'e. The idea of asking something :n prayer, and yelling, "w'.rope there Jesus," could not occur to a man possessing the reverence of a 1 vie It was truly kind in Billy t. let "Jesus use his own mind abvu it." Let us hope and pray that Billy wi!! not take the management of h- Universe away from God. It is a ureal relief to ordinary mortals t. trink that "Jesus can do just as he dIchc.?," provided that he does not blame IMly for what happens. Rut to show that Billy Sunday knows less about the true spirit of Jesus a described in the Bible, thn a Fiji Islander I call attention to the following excerpt from one of his copyrighted sermons: "Hear me! If there is any man for whom I have contempt, and whom ' I hate and despise, it is the man who will throw into the face of another what he used to do." It is a' mean Vcuss" who will throw into another's face the mean things he used to do, but if there is anything in the Christian religion, no follower of Jesus can "hate and despise" anybody. Here is another sample: "Now, I understand1 that that gang are going to cut the electric wires in here before the meetings are over and start a fire scare. If they do they will be shot, that's all there is about it." There was nothing in the rumor about cutting wires, nd yet it served to reveal the sweet Christian spirit of this Rev. Mountebank1. How such an egregious ass can influence people 'by thousands can only be ex-plained on the theory that those influenced by him belong to the same breed and wear their seldom brains ten inches below the tips of their ears. Wiridle's Cantling Gun.

Preachers Fay on a Business Basis. The current issue of the Success contains an excellent article on the salary of the preacher and the usual method of raising it. The writer takes t'ie position that the church bazaar and oyster supper plan is largely responsible for driving men out of church while at the same time the dignity and self-respect of the pastor is usually submerged beneath the avalanche of donations. What the preacher of today wants is a straight salary in cash, realized by equitable subscriptions .from the members of Cvis congregation. The sooner 'the church establishes itself upon a business basis if it is not already there, the ibetter th-. church. There is no more reason why the preacher should be an object of charity t'iian should 'the janitor who sweeps out the building in which the word of God is expounded. Decides Against Railroad. The supreme court has decided that the Wabash railroad must pay the town of Ashley $18,000 caused by the removal of its shops from that city or else move '1: the shops. Smith Leaves L. E. & W. G. P. Smith', of Indianapolis, ,who has been chief engineer of the Lake Erie and 'Western for several years, on Friday took the position of chhi engineer of the Big Four railway.

FOR CLAMS OR CHILDREN

STATE HEALTH BOARD SEEKING TO SECURE PROPER LEGISLATION. Says Congress Appropriated $20,000 for Study of Clams Refused $3000 for Children. "Do we love clams more than children? If we did not why did Congress without hesitation, appropriate $20,000 to pay experts to study clams and almost unanimously turn down an appropriation of $3000 to pay an expert to study children? asks J. N. Hurty Secretary of the State Board of Health in a recent communication. The clam appropriation was passed in 1007, and early in 190S the child appropriation was killed. In 11)05, the State Beard of Health presented to the Indiana General Assembly, a new health law, which had for its object the conservation of human life. It seemed to the Board that our state would do well to catch up with other states, and do like sensible, practical work along the lines of preventing disease and saving lives. When the bill -was up, the member from Podunk aros and said: "I have been requested by my constituents, over and over to vote for measures to protect hogs from cholera and trees from scale, but I never have been asked to vote fer a measure to protect women and children from preventable diseases." Of course the bill was 'defeated as a crank bill. Had the bill been for hogs or clams, it would not have teen cranky. 1 he reason why the $20,(i00 clam appropriation passed like greased lightning, was because the pearl button makers want clam shells to make pearl buttons from. We camut make anything but men and women out ,i children, therefore can't give United States Commissioner Rrown any money for -such an en 1 It is to be said that Secretary Garfield heartily endorsed the cKild appro ri.ition an.l when he approved before t!re Congressional Committee, a mighty member from Sink-hole asked "Dees this not approach dangerously near the line of encroachment upon the rights of states and municipalities?" The State Board of Health will ask tie coming General Assscmhly to pass an up-t3-late health law, to take the place of the old one of lMjl now in force. This kaw will, if pas-ed, reduce the sickness and death rates ami in that way save money to the people and promote their happiness. Will it pass? It certainly will if the people think that children are worth as much as clams. CORN IN INDIANA. Total Areage For 1908 in State Vas 3,884,980, Showing Decrease from 1907.

I i j Could not Support Bowling Alley. The bowling alley lately openea in the Cornelius block is being shipped away. This is in accordance with the prophecy made when the man came The day has passed when Rochesterites will spend money on poot sport. Rochester Republican. "The fault dear Cassius is not in the sport, 'but in ourselves". In this city there are two bowling alleys, one owned by a private club, and the other patronized by the public. Both do a "land office business," the reason being seemingly thait the sport is popular here. Can it be that the water wagen destroys the vitality of the whole community, the love for cxercise and sport? If so, kindly keep the wagon in Rochester, and we will continue -to bowl, and go to the theatre, and help all of the home industries that we can, and not let any irjan leave town because we made prophecies that he would not succeed. No Election in Whitley. The county council of Whitley cr tinty refused to make an appropriation for a wet and lry election, until after an election was twdcred by the commissioners. They expressed a willingness, however, to call an extra session to make an appropriation, if an election was ordered. Whitley county, the home of Governor-elect Marshall, lis not united on this question and it is predicted the county will vote wet. FaceSs Grave Charges. Trustee M. F.

LOST WIFE BY BOASTING. Bride to Be Tears Up License on Hearing Statement About her Wealth.

Following an alleged boast that he was "about to marry more money than some people ever saw" John W. Gipson, of Avon, Ind., had the chagrin of seeing 'Miss Wanetta Taylor, of Avon, his bride-to-be, tear the marriage license to bits a little before the ceremony was to have been perform ed. Previous to his shattering of his hopes Gipson ii:ad tried vainly in Avon and in Indianapolis to get a minister who would unite them, the objection being, it is said, that he had a du'vorced wife living. Miss Taylor is a -well known young woman of Avon and has about $25,000 worth of property.
