FLAY JUDGE LANOIS LAWYERS FOR STANDARD OIL FILE THEIR ANSWER. The latest drink in New York te called the aviator, hut does it produce a dirigible jag? It appears that, after all, the thrifty Wright brothers have not packed all their eggs in one basket. The town of Ohoopee; in Georgfa, Is to have another name. No sense in such a name in a dry state. Count Zeppelin's airship, however, is still a long way from getting into the ships-that-pass-in-the-night class. Japan is planning to show the American sailors the time of their lives if they can learn to like Japan­ ese cooking. ./ .f "'I' A Georgia train ran into a mule and was thrown into a ditch.

Chicago.--Judge Kenesaw Landls, who fined the Standard Oil Company $29,000,000, is charged with having permitted outside influences to govern his decision by the attorneys for the company in their answer to the appli­ cation for a rehearing filed in the United States court of appeals. The answer refers to the judgment of, that cbiirt as an "unheard-bf fine," st&d says that the court was "gov­ erned by evidence and considerations which*; were not proper to Influence a judicious magistrate/' District Attorney Sims, who con­ ducted the prosecution, was referred to as a "zealous prosecutor/' The answer to the government's ap­ peal for rehearing is submitted by Attorneys John S.

Soon it will be: "Lo, the poor horse." Carlyle said: "A dislike of noise Is a measure of civilisation," and the neglect to protect a people against un­ necessary noises, declares the Ohio State Journal, is an indication of a crude and ignorant government. Some New Yorkers who would rafli­ er 'be contrary than compromise a hair's breadth have gone to law over 25 cents. We suspect the lawyers did not take the case for half the amount of a successful judgment. A man in New York ate 50 ears of corn In one evening, consuming a pound of butter in the process. The fact that he appeared to suffer no'in­ convenience from this meal may be regarded as classifying him zoolog­ ically. A rich citizen of Lincoln, Neb., tried to kill his wife because she would not talk to him as much as he desired. Further proof of his insanity is afforded by the fact that he at­ tempted to commit suicide immediate­ ly afterward. What did the king and kaiser talk about at their meeting? Navies, air­ ships, the advance of "radicalism,'* the situation in Turkey? Possibly, but the chief topic must have been j how to spend one's vacation with the maximum of benefit *- Judge Kenesaw Landls. his associates In the court of appeals should not grant the government's pe­ tition. The principal argument presented is in regard to excessive fines, and it Is declared absolutely that District At torney Sims could find no authority to support Judge Landis in his action of fixing the "unheard-of fine." Regard­ ing this the answer states: "The provision of the bill of rights in the eighth amendment to the fed­ eral constitution forbidding the impo­ sition of excessive fines enacts a cherished principle of Magna Charta, which is the foundation of American and Anglo-Saxon laws and jurispru­ dence, and which required that fines imposed for faults or crimes should be 'after the manner of the fault,' or 'according to the heinousness of it,' and forbade fines so large as to de­ prive a defendant of that which was necessary to his vocation or liveli­ hood." The action of the government in brlhging the oil company to trial is ref#>iTed to as "malicious prosecution," and It is reiterated that no evidence and law has been brought to bear on the case by the federal attor­ neys. The Russian duma seems to be gradually getting a grip on things The duma was opposed to one of the grand dukes who was at the head oi the council for national defense, and let the czar know it.

Fitzger­ ald, accused of having stolen the $173,000 which disappeared from the United States subtreasury, was dis­ charged by Judge Chetlain Thursday after it had been shown on the witnesb stand that the government had in­ structed the treasury department heads in Chicago and other govern­ ment employes to not testify in the case nor make public the evidence, which the secret service men have been gathering since the time of the robbery. Everything about that cruise of th« big fleet tends to show the stanch 'ness of our warships and the admir able way in which they are handled. Dispatches from Auckland say that after careful exaijrfnation the vessel* are found actually in better condition than when they started. And they have sailed many thousands of mile* and been through heavy storms. Although "changing the face oi nature" is a remark frequently used to describe some important work ol man upon the earth, it is usually lit tie more than a figure of speech. It a newly developed Mexican oil-field however, the remark might be appliec with some justice. Through the care lessness of a workman, fire was com municated to the subterranean reser •oirs of oil some weeks ago. Explo sions followed which tore up the whol« surface of the earth for a square mile and Since then 90,000 barrels of the oi has been burning daily. Ten-Mile Wind Causes Machine •• Piteh, But Does Not Stop Its Flight. Washington.--Orvllje Wright Thurs­ day broke the world's record for time and distance *or a heavier- than-air flying machine which he established Wednesday. In a flight requiring great skill on account of a ten-mile wind, he circled around the drill grounds at Fort Myer 58 times in 65 minutes and 52 seconds, exceed­ ing the time of Wednesday's record flight by three minutes and 37 seconds. The flight was witnessed by nearly a thousand people. At 5:08 Mr. Wright signaled C, E. Taylor, his mechanic, to release the machine. The aeroplane rose from the ground almost immediately after leav. ing the single starting rail. It contin­ ued to climb higher with each suc­ cessive rouncl. of the field, until It reached sjv Altitude of 75 feet For the first 30 seconds the machine flew as smoothly as on its previous flights, but from that time on it was seen to pitch at the turns, as the breeze from the west struck it • Whenever the machine pitched, it could be plainly seen from below that it responded promptly to every move of the levers by the operator. One of Mr. Wright's assistants marked the time in large figures at intervals > on the roof of a shed, in order that Mr. Wright might see how long he had been in the air. A gust of wind, unusually strong, struck the aerial flyer during its forty-second round, and it plunged sharply, causing the crowd to exclaim in alarm. Mr. Wright then brought his machine lower, but on the fifty-third round he had reached an altitude of 200 feet. He came down at the northern end of the field at the end of the fifty-eighth round, landing easily. Washington.--In a flight lasting one hour, ten minutes and 26 seconds, Orville Wright Friday surpassed all his exploits for a time and distance flight for a heavier-than-air machine. Two flights were made at Fort Myer, Va., the first being of ten minutes and 50 seconds' duration. The test demi onstrated, according to the aviator's calculation, that the speed of the areoplane during the record-breaking flights of Wednesday and Thursday was 39.55 miles an hour.--Changes in the aeroplane are to be made.

TO JOIN II 6EKEBAL WAR LABOR MEN TO TAKE PART IN FIGHTING TUBERCULOSIS. Announcement Made That American Federation Will Join in Fight Against Plague. Washington. -- American working- men and workingwomen, represented by the American ^deration of Labor, will co-operate with the coming world's congress on tuberculosis to prevent the spread of consumption in work­ shops, homes and public buildings. This developed at the session of the executive council of the federation, when the council decided to assume charge of a mass meeting to be held in connection with the congress on Sunday, October 4. John Mitchell will preside and make an address emphasizing the impor­ tance to workingmen of the tubercu­ losis crusade. Samuel Gompers, pres­ ident of the federation, will make the principal address. The effect of tu­ berculosis upon the workers will be proved by statistics, which show that 25 per cent of all* deaths between the agfes of 15 and 45 are due to con­ sumption. It was decided that the American Federation of Labor make every effort to aid In furthering the movement among the people of our country to se­ cure legislation for the conservation of our natural resources. A resolution was adopted to urgent­ ly request President Roosevelt to in­ tervene and prevent the surrender of. Jan Pouren to the Russian govern­ ment. Pouren participated in the rev­ olutionary movement of the Baltic provinces to obtain a freer form of government for the people of Russia. When the revolution failed he escaped to the United States and obtained em­ ployment which he followed for more tllan eight months. Russian spies in the United States ferreted him out and now demand his extradition. RECEIVER FOR A. BOOTH A CO. Trouble of Big Concern Caused by Too Great Expansion. Chicago. -- A. Booth ft Co., the 112,000,000 fish, game and Bea food corporation, with branches extend­ ing from coast to coast, passed into the hands of a receiver late Thursday afternoon. On petition of Alfred E. Booth and the Linen Thread Company of New York, Judge S. H. Bethea in the United States circuit court named William J. Chalmers, president of the Commercial National Safe Deposit Company, who took charge of the company's general office. - The general assets are placed at $8,000,000, exclusive of the company's good will, valued at $4,000,000, and the liabilities, according to the bill, ap­ proximate $5,500,000. Too great an expansion of the com­ pany's business and a large amount of outstanding short-tiiae notes are the reasons given for the corporation's predicament. Kaiser Doesn't Enter France. Altenberg, Alsace.--Emperor Wil­ liam disappointed the general expecta­ tion that he would set foot on French territory Friday in the course of a sight-seeing trip along the Vosges range.

On this point Judge Huston in the Logan county district court overruled the bank and denied an Injunction, the case then being appealed. >*• PLANNED TO KILL PRiESTf Buffalo Youth Arrested in Polish Seminary at Detroit. Sea Girt, N. J. •-- An attempt to assassinate Gov. Fort of New Jersey has been thwarted by the watchfulness of post-office employes, who discovered In the mails an in­ fernal machine addressed to the gov­ ernor. The package was a cleverly contrived combination of powder, bul­ lets and matches which had been so arranged that had the governor opened It in the ordinary way there is little doubt it would have killed-him. That the death-dealing package was intercepted before it had reached Its destination was due to the vigilance of the postal officials, who have scanned the governor's mail with unusual care since the executive's stand was taken againstviolation of the law at Atlantic City. The attitude of the governor when he directed that the excise and similar laws at the great seaside re­ sort be enforced strictly and threat­ ened to order otft the militia If neces­ sary, aroused great resentment in cer­ tain quarters. It was to guard Mr. Fort as much as possible from annoy­ ance that a watch was put on his mail. HURRICANE RUINS GRAND TURK. Great 8torm in West Indies Costs Many Lives. Grand Turk, Turks Islands, B.

National Issues Are Not Poient. tf» Influencing the Result -- Bert Pernald of Poland Is Elected ' Governor. Portland, Me.--Although the Repub­ licans came off victorious in the state election Monday, Bert M. Fernald of Poland being chosen governor over Obndiah Gardner of Rockland, the Democrats had the satisfaction of see­ ing .the normal Republican plurality cut to less than 10,000 votes for the flrfct time in a presidential year for more than a quarter of a century. A11 four Republican candidates for congress were elected and for state auditor, Charles P. Hatch of Augusta (Rep.) defeated his opponent. At 10:30 Monday night returns for governor from all the cities and 400 towns and plantations out of 499 gave Fernald (Rep.) 68,300, Gardner (Dem.), 61,61.6. The same places In 1904 gave Cobb (Rep.) 70,882; Davis (Dem.), 46,- 712. This shows a Republican loss of four per cent, and a Democratic gain of 32 per cent. On this basis the Repub­ lican plurality In the state was esti­ mated at about 8,000. The Republicans were on the de­ fensive throughout the campaign, seek­ ing to hold the state by the usual plu­ rality by answering the various Dem­ ocratic arguments, which were mainly for resubmission of the prohibitory law, taxation of the wild lands and re­ form in administrative methods. But little was said of national Issues, al­ though tie Republicans, through out­ side speakers, sought at various points to bring such subjects to the atten­ tion of the people. Local Issues, how­ ever, proved more popular. DANGER POINT 18 PASSED. Minnesota Towns Considered Safe from Forest Fires.

She has not had a sign of the eczema since. Mrs. H. F. Budke, LeSueur, Minn., Apr. 15 and May 2, '07.** BATHING AN INDIAN IDOL. Curious Ceremony Attended by Thou­ sands of Devout Pilgrims. Thousands of pilgrims from the va­ rious outlying villages and other parts of the Hooghly district poured in from an early hour in the morning to the temples of Jagernath, says the Cal­ cutta Statesman. The image of the god is placed on a conspicuous part of the temple, so that It can be viewed at an advantage by the immense crowd of pilgrims, and there at a certain fixed hour th» bathing ceremony commences. I The most curious part of the festi­ val is that water is not poured on tha image of the god until a certain small bird is found sitting on the topmost banner of the temple. There is a pop­ ular belief that the bird comes from Purl, the famous place of Hindu pilgrim­ age, to Maheoh on the day of thia festival, and his very presence is an Indication that the ceremony should commence.

There is a hot wholesome drink which a Dak. girl found after a time, makes the blood warm and the heart strong. She says: "Having lived for Ave years In N.
