HARD HIT.
Judge Landis of the United
States court in Chicago handed
the Standard Oil : i package last
Saturday that made the crowd
sit up and take notice. The
l company had recently been con
victed on 1,4(12 counts for accept
ing rebates from the Alton rail
road. Judge Landis in imposing
the sentence gave the delcndant
the limit on each count and as
sessed a fine of $29.2-10,000.
No such fine was ever before
imposed by any court in the
world. Some idea of the magni
tude of this sentence may be
gathered from the following
facts :
The United States paid France
$15,000.000 for the Louisiana ter
ritory. About one-half the fun
assessed by Judge Landis.
We paid Russia $7,200,000 foi
Alaska.
We paid Spain $5,000,000 foi
Florida.
We paid Mexico $15,000,000 foi
California and New Mexico.
We paid Spain $20,000,000 foi
the Philippines.
If the Standard Oil should pay
this fine in installments of $4,00 (
a day it would require twenty
years to pay it in full.
A few fines like this will mak <
rebating an unpopular pastime

Saturday from a two weeks tri

they drove nearly 300 miles
They report the storm to hav

s an assured fact. Already
learly four hundred shares of
25.00 each have been sold and
nany of our business men have
lot been interviewed. There is
10 good reason why $15,000
should not bcs ubscrtbed. Is your
name written there ?
One of the compensations ol
life is the fact that a pure life it
its own defense against the as
saults of the slanderer. It is for'
tunate that there are but feu
men in this world who find pleas'
ure in efforts to destroy rcputa-
tions. The cruel , malicious and
false charges being made by the
Falls City Journal against Judge
Sedgwick are horrifying to those
who know how pure the charactei
and life of the judge are. Tin
sewer rat who throws such filtl
is deep in the mire indeed , sc
deep that nothing clean nor pun
nor wholesome can abide there
He is an object of pity who cai
see nothing of the good , the true
the beautiful in the finest minds
and hearts of his time.
Wouldn't it be a good idea for

is left of the Journal and get rid
of the rest of the gang ?

the funeral , fully a hundred people

Why am I not a verb ? " "Because

GOLD FOUND IN SCOTLAND
Deposits of the Precious Metal Have |
Been Discovered on Shores j
of Loch Fyne. |
The fame of Loch Fyne , in Scot-
aml , has hitherto been confined to
Is scenery and its herrings. Now ,
lowcvcr , gold has been discovered
on its shores , and if the ore is
'ound to contain the , precious metal
n sufficient quantities to pay for
ts extraction , it is probable that
all cl. e will be neglected. The aurif
erous ores have been found near
Ardrishaig , on the Stronachullin
estate , whicli is owned by Mr. E.
Graham-Campbell of SKrivan. The
estate , which has on area of about
4,000 acres , is at present given up
x > grouse.
The presence of old lead and cop
ier workings show th"a efforts were
raado about half a century ago to
urn to advantage the mineral
riches of the land. Careful analysis
of a sample of quartz has proved
the existence of gold as well as cop
per and lead. So far the quartz
lias been taken from the surface ,
and it appears to contain consider
able quantities of gold , but as no
sinkings have yet been made it is
uncertain to what depth the vein
of quartz descends. A trial ship
ment of 20 tons of quartz was sent
to Swansea recently to have the
value tested , and the ore met with
a ready sale.
Several miles above Mr. Graham-
Campbell's estate on the shores of
Loch Fyne veins of silver were prof
itably worked in the seventeenth
century , and the property on whicli
they existed was entitled Silver
Craigs. Gold workings are , of
course , no new discovery in Scot
land. When the Icing was on a visit
to Lord Colebrooko at Abington ,
Lanarkshire , last year , he made av.
pilgrimage to the ruins of Crawford
Castle , which is in a former gold-
bearing country. James V. , father
of Mary , queen of Scots , employed
foreign experts , who are said * to
have produced for their royal em
ployer gold to the value of 100,000.
BIG FISH IN SHALLOW WATER.
A sturgeon eight feet long and
weighing 200 pounds was taken
from Squaw creek a mile and a half
above this place recently by Fred
Brooks. The big fish was seen
floundering in water a foot and one-
half deep. Brooks tried to shoot it
and failed. Then bo and his family
throw rocks at it and could not kill
it. Finally Brooks throw a lasso
around its tail and dragged it out
still alive.
It is supposed that the big fish
came up Squaw crook during the
high water and failed to return to
its habitat before the water receded.
Where it was taken the water .was
too shallow for it to swim. Copper

NERVE PHOBIAS.
There is n class of well-defined
"phobias , " ' as they are called , with
which nerve sufferers arc plagued ;
' 'monophobiii , " or fear of being
alone ; "claustrophobia , " or fear of
closcd-in spaces ; a "gorapbobia , " or
fear of crowds or of broad open
spaces ; "insoiimiaphobia , " or fear
of not going , to sleep , and many
others. The ono great remedy for
all these and similar mental mis
eries , writes Dr. Samuel McComb ,
in Good Housekeeping , is auto-sug
gestion.
