Thomas Turnbull and to him beluugs the distiuction. nt the first victor}* in the many suits brought by Attorney:General Knox under the Sherman anti trust law. This’victory was,scored against the federal Salt company as the principal of a number o f defendants, forty in all. The evidence collected Uy Mr. Turnbull Was so conclusive that the Federal bait company pleaded guilty and. was fined 81,000. He was* appointed about eighteen months ago, by the government to col lect evidence against the salt trust. Io .Mr, Turnbull’s sworn testimony he declared that the’ Federal Salt coui- •pauy was engaged in the buyiug and selling of salt and that it hnd secretly made,aud entered, into contracts with nearly all the importers, producers and dealers iii foreign and domestic salt, within the Northern District of California aud upon the Pacific coast. . Restated that he visited nearly, all . of the defendants and requested (with the exception of the Federal Salt com pauy) that they sell him qualities of salt,'and offered to buy "and pay for quantities of salt: that in every in­ stance they absolutely declined to sell any suit,, stating in substance that Saltcould only .be purchased directly from or through the Federal bait company; that a large number o f themadmitted to him that they .were under contract with that company to sell all o f the salt produced by them to theFederal Salt company alone, and to no other corporation or person for anumber of 3 Te&ts,. and that certain of them .admitted' that they were under contract with the the com pany not to produce, any aalL_aud^.lft close down their salt.works for the ...Mr, ritrnhwHaliM)nstated" that the company has Balt to the. amount of 70,000 tons in different warehouses which caused a scanty of saw in the Pacific coRst riiarketSj^and that the price of ordinary sitIf wa^ raised from§8 a ton to $25 a ton. Other witnesses who were euguged in the sale of salt testified that the pnce(had been raised 500 per e’eut during a per­ iodof 22 momhB. Wholesale grocers andjobbers in salt will not purchase *«It from any one other than the Fed­ eral Suit company, which company will refuse to sell salt to anyone who purchases from.any other companies or persons selling salt, and that the California Salt company, organized on April 2,11)01, and having purchased laud for the ir iking of salt in Ala­ medacounty, has now a few huudred tons of salt which it is unable to .sell to the Pacific Coast trade on account of the monopoly exercised by the Federal Salt company. AUthis strong and concurring evi­ dence whs brought to bear on the case through the efforts of Mr. Turnbull, in consequence of which the company pleaded guilty and paid $1000 find. As a result the pride of sail has-falien to one-half of what it was before the suit was brought to dissolve the illegal bust, which was operating in infringe­ ment tind violation of the Sherman «nti-lrust law against the lestramt of tradeam! commerce. Mr. Turnbull is a brother of Meters 8. K. and Alex, Turnbull, of misplaceand is a man wellknown tj *ii our older citizens. WANTED A farm hand, with a small family, W .A.

He Was particularly,solicitous .bout his wife- who was a very nervous lady His constantly reiterated advice to her was that in case of fire she should arise, cooly, drees herself, as if going out to pay a call, and then walk mil o f the burning building. Finally the dread ©1 time arriyed. They were awaken ed by a fire alarm In the hotel. The gentleman proceeded to dress himself, all the while admonishing the nervous lady to ' ‘Keep cool!" “ Don’t get ex­ cited.” ‘ 'Plenty ol time to get out, Just see how cool I atii; I’m now putting on my collar and tieing my uecktie,- and here is my silk hat; now just look at *those excited fools out there mat ing exhibitions of themselves in their night clothes!" By this, time the lady was dressed ready to go and the gentleman, stepping into the hall, offered his arm with the remark, “ Now, yon see, dear, .1 huve cooly dre3spd myself, as if going to a parly; come, we will go down among those frights who are exhibiting their night- wardrobes to the .public." The lady took his arm, biit dropped’ it immedl ately with the remark, “ Hadn’t you better put on your trousers, husband, before We go down?”—Madisou Caun ty Democrat.

Early in the day- it was thought by those who believe in the prophetic vision of- Arctomys Monax that spring would soon lie here, but about noon old “ 8ol” peeped through the thick clouds just enough to make a shadow and the little animal must have hastily slipped back in his winter quarters. Fro n this time on during the day and night the people of this section experienced one of the worst days of the winter, and more convinced than ever are they that “ ground hog” has something to do with the weather. SOME PROBLEMS. A boy out after cheauuts met a bear and climbs a tree. While he is climbing five feet, the .bear climbs four. At this rate how long will it take the hear to overhaul and how high do you make the tree to be?

Both the tracker and the dog go off together, but whila the cracker only goes 12 feet, the dog runs a mile and a half. Figure out the difference.

While we have •no assurance that “ money” will prevail at the com­ ing elections yet we .are prone to be­ lieve that such will be the case, tak­ ing previous’ primaries and elections as a criterion. Politics t)f today is a mere game of chance. Or it could be said there is a degree of commercial ism in politics hfnd this no thoughtful man can di^uy. Every primary elect­ ion slate or national election seer'.on much use of money. Tins corruption of which we speak is no uncommon thing and nine out of ten men in high public office today owe their position to the fact that they had unlimited funds at their disposal, President: Hadley of Yale University is quoted as saying that no young man should enter political life unless he is rich if he does the president; says “ be will have to yield, soorier or later to the wrong influenc or get out aud starve.” This we do not believe though it" does come froth the head of so great an educational institution. Should this theory be accepted none but tlie rich will have controlling power. What is needed in politics today is intelli­ gent upright men and certainly such men could follow a political career without accepting bribes. We have in mind several Officials who were hominuted and elected, to offices both county and state.witout the use of mongy.

The fire was first discovered by a leighbor, Mr, Ed Dean, who saw a. •olume of smoke corning from the jde of the building. An effort was uade to get the flames under, control but with little success did they nu-e.t. As many of the neighbors were at church it was almost impossible to se­ cure aid. Then thewater was soon ex­ hausted and the‘wind soon fanned the blaze until the whole building was i mass of flames. A large, part of the household goods were gotten out.

Tbesejoai^^ reader that the. right kind of men can i nter political life and secure offices without purchasing them. When the time comes that the office seeks the man as stated above, not the man the office then will politics loose tlirit com­ mercialism aud President Hadley’s quotation will be proven untfue. It does seemthat by the abolishment of spring elections in this state there would be a great saving financially. Suc.h a movement is now on in the legislature of this state arid it is to' be hoped that each and every represent­ ative and senator, will favor it by cast­ ing his vote for it.

This may have been due to the fact the public was expecting.to much, The readings of Miss Dainty took very well, While her selections were light they were difficult numbers well rend red.
