Suit has been instituted by George Rice, of Marietta, O., for the dissolution of the Standard Oil Company, a corpor ation organized under the laws of New Jersey. It is charged that the company ia illegal, and exists in violation of the anti-trUBt laws of tlie United States. The result of the suit will be of no bene fit to the general public.

"So far as placing Denver under mar tial law is concerned, that rests solely with the Governor. Provide I he should see fit to do so. I am hie Adjutant-Genera), commanding the military forces of the state, and will sea to it that hun dreds of baa men' are deported, and atter nnrtial law has finally been called off, if the citizens permit the cattle I intend to deport to return that will be their business. No man who wants to work will be molested, but the person who lives Bolely and only by his mouth, provided Governor Peabody give me the word, will have to emigrate.

A number of child ren were present, the little girls being in white dresses. At the dinner hour they marched through the hall into the dining room; and were accorded the honor of being seated before the older folk. The afternoon session opened with the exercises special to the occasion. Ten tiny ladies in double, file, laden with roees, entered the door, proceeded to the platform sacree" to Pomona, Ceres and Flora, and scattered on the floor at their feet a mass of rose petals. Then each two in succession, beginning with the youngest, advanced over the roses and recited something appropriate to the celebration of the day of flowers. Songs and recitations followed. The finale of the program was nut's and can dies. To Warner Grange the most impor tant event of the day wai the solemn destruction by fire of the mortgage and note for $225, which was borrowed about 17 months ago to pay off the W. O. T. U. A committee of ladies burned the documents in open grange. Now, War ner ia free of debt and there is no reas on why it should not remain so for all time.

Portland, Or., June 14, 1904 To the members of the Grange In Oregon ana naming ton, urseting: Tbe National Granire will meat in Portland, Or., in November, 1904, and it is aesirea inai we snow to our viiitnn a complete exhibit of the resources of tbe worm west in tne shape of grasses, fruits grains, vegetables, minerals, forestry and uatienoi. T . ... in oruer 10 maxe mil matter a suc cess, 11 win be necessary for every mem1 ber to do his or ber utmost. We suggest that each snbordi Grange appoint a committee of three to use noiu 01 the work. Exhibits must be grouped by counties, and each sample marked with the name and address of the producer. Samples of grasses and grains, when cut, should be tied in small bunches, and bung with heads down 1 tne snaue, to preserve the color. . it is necessary, and we urge that the committees get to work at once, as sam ples of grasses and berries are now ready mi uiuBt ue garnered. 11 will be nec essary to put up in jrs all perishable frnits, such as Bartlett pears, plums, peaches, cherries and berries.' In the woman's department, we sug gest that they continue their exhibit to work in the culinary line. Premiums will be given on all lines of exhibits.

(From Our Regular Correspondent ) , Washington, D. 0., June 23, 1901. the tires of the summer solstice are blazing overhead, but the heat does not prevent business being done at the head- . quarters of the two parties here. Ram bling off from each are ten or a dozen rooms filled with coatleBs men and maid ens decolletees, writing wrappers at full jump to every county, aud almost every town, in the United btatee. TheRepul licans have jnat received a now confiijjr. meiit of partisan literature from the Government Printing Olliee, the Public Printer having given a partisan twist to the agreement in CongiesB to permit no more "leave to print" matter not uttered on the floor. Republicans all over the citv are laughing very heartily at having cunningly outwitted their adversaries. A lively excitement prevails in the of fices of Mr. Cortelyou around the dek of the Chief Inspector of Steamboats. He sees just as few newspaper men as possible, Biid Is a rival of Judge Parker in taciturnity. The steamboat horror in . tbe East river makes it interesting to A: know that the law prescribes a oeualtv . of $103 for ea-h passenger reoeived ou board any steam vessel not havinu offi cial certificates of approval from Cortel you s department, and "Every Inspect' '' who willful: tBif.itiu' fal8el'",i jtichi.i ' ' any steam vessel, as M tat hull, accom modations, Doners, engines, machinery or their appurtenances, or any of her equipments, or any matter or thing con tained in any certificate signed and worn to by him, shall be punished by fine of not more than $500, or imprison ment ol not more than six months, or both." Bu: the most astounding provision of the law iB that which pays inspectors. not according to the eiliclency of their Ber vies, but according to the number of steamboats which they can inspect in a year 1 In Districts inspecting one hun dred and fifty steamers the Inspector's salary is fi.ouu. in districts inspecting five hundred steamers, the inspector's salary is $2,500. Besides this, they are paid traveling expanses. Of course, the tendency of such a provision is to ex treme haste, carelessness and reckless ness. It offerB every inspector a bribe . to neglect his duty. It pays him just ab much for inspecting a two-ton pleasure yacht as for the F&ll River steamer. Is it any wonder that under such a wicked arrangement inspectors hurry from dock to dock and overtook tbe great floating palaces? It is obvious that the 2,500 lie preservers on the General blocum had not been properly looked at at all. liow could they be, under .pievailing conditions? liow could the fire hose be tested nnder a law which paid the in- pector to neglect it? Is not all this horrible to think of? The very least that Secretary Cortelyou can do is to see that serious punishment is inflicted on delinquent inspectors. ll.Cu i,j ou.nt to see to it that Congress repeals the abominable law which hiresan inspector to set death traps for the unwary public. Inspector Lundberg, lor instance, ought be to be out on bail in view of the mas sacre of innocents in bis district? The opening of Levi Leiter's will has few surprises. He leaves the bulk of his property to his wife, and a couple of mil lions apiece to his children with provi sions lor a good deal more, lie gives Plunger Jse a couple oi million dollars and forgives him tbe ten million which he lost in tbe wheat pit. uo joey cat. $100,000 annual income, enough to pay tbe expenses 01 bis contemplated fip 10, Indi on a visit to Lady Curzon, the, Vicereine! Tbey say tbat be has sworn, off from heavy speculation . The Lett ¬ ers win tun continue to reside &er It Is alleged that oh the strength of their official position some of the clerks employed In the Department of War contract debts in this city which they neglect to pay. The Secretary of War has issued orders to tbe effect that if creditors complain, and tbe facts are found as stated, such clerks will be die missed. Tbe effect of this order is likely to be wholesome. It might be adopted by all the executive Departments. Indigestion. With its companions, heart burn, flatulence, torpidity of the liver, consti pation, palpitation of the heart, poor b.ood, headache and other nervous symptoms, sallow skin, foul tongue, of fensive breath and a legion of other aiS meuts, Is at once the most widespread and destructive malady among the American people.
