Marlfisl gave the Federal authori
ties a scare today. A mob of Italians,

Krumm and Secret Service agents, who
made a careful examination of mysterious
letters taken from the trunks of Sam
Lima at Marlon. Inspectors Tate and
Beresford were sent to the Springfield

Italians whose names were learned by a
perusal of the alleged Black Hand cor
respondence taken in the Marion raid.

of these have been released. Five have
been served with Federal warrants. All
are charged with attempting to extort
money from John Amlcon. of Columbus.
Marflsi is known to have been in Italy
when Petroslno, the New York detective,
was assassinated there. He returned
from Italy about two months ago.
He Is said to be the agent of the Lima
blackmailers, who relayed the letters
from Marion headquarters demanding
money from John Amlcon. Before he left
Dennison six months ago. Marnsi had
been preceded to Italy by Barney Boniti.
a Dennison fruit dealer, who sold his
store there at a sacrllice and fled to es
cape black hand vengeance. Boniti was
murdered not long after his arrival in
Italy. Soon afterward Marfisi, who was
in Italy at the time of the murder, re
turned to America. It became known to
day that Charles Storaci, an Italian busi
ness competitor of Lima's at Marlon, O.,
had received several threatening letters
ordering him to leave town at once. A
respected Italian in Marion said" today
that he and others of his race were
actually afraid to make as much money
as they could because of fear of the
blackmailers and murderous bands.

Republican Senators change. One of Dol

wnn a provision suggested by Aldrich as
a part of the MoKlnley tariff bill of ixsk
but the Rhode Island Senator refused to
accept it. saying the conditions were en
tirely different now from what they were
in those days.
In the course of a discussion between
Aldrich and Owen on the duty on blan

kets paid at the rate of IS per cent ad

real feeling over the possible tears in the
eyes of the Irish potato.
In his effort to tax only the wool In
fabrics made partly of cotton, Dolllver
offered a substitute for the paragraph
relating to cloths, knit and other fabrics
and manufactures made in whole or in
part of wool. He convulsed the Senate
with his witty retorts and his humorous
allusions to peculiarities in the Dingley
law.
"Home, Sweet Home" and "Welcome"
mottoes, he said, were subject to pay
duty under the wool schedule. Corn
plasters when made of wool were
obliged to pay tribute to theopl sched

them to be "wearing apparel."
The substitute was defeated by a vote
of 30 to 42. as were other amendments

Chains Gun to Tree and Runs
String Through Pulley to Trigger.
DALLAS, Or., June 10. (Special.)
E. Kimball, a farmer, living about
three miles from Dallas, committed
suicide last night by shooting himself.
His wife was absent at the time, and
there is every indication that the sui
cide was planned deliberately. The
gun by which the deed was committed
was chained in a tree and a string
attached by means of a pulley to the
trigger, so that Kimball could dis
charge the gun while standing In front
of its muzzle. He received the charge
in his throat, death being almost in
stantaneous. The deceased was a pioneer of 1S52
and a veteran of the Indian War of
1S56. He came to Oregon from Ohio.
A wife and three grown children sur
vive him. His suicide is attributed to
melancholy, resulting from ill health

Chicago Superior Court Judge De
clares Sentiment on Subject Has
Undergone Big Change.
CHICAGO, June 10. (Special.) "Tricks
of Lawyers in Court to Win Cases " was
the -topic of Willard M. McEwen, Judge
of the Superior Court before the Illinois
State's Attorneys' Association today
"No Jury is fair." he said, "because no
man is fair. We may all want to be fair,
but we are bound ur by prejudices we
cannot get away from. For this reason
unscrupulous ana even scrupulous attor
neys can play on the emotions of jurors
and win cases where the law does not
warrant it.
"Whiskers play a great part in a law
suit. At present prejudice In Chicago Is
against Jurors with whiskers. It formerly
was the other way. I know of a Judge
who thought he was without prejudice
and that only men with long whiskers
made good jurors. Prejudice now Is the
other way and attorneys here generally
reject men with long whiskers.
"Attorneys are full of tricks to deceive
jurors. One of the chief tricks is that of
bringing babies into court."

Lard is hog fat so is salt pork. Both are indigestible and often unhealthy.
Until Cottolene was placed on the market, people had to tise lard for all frying
and shortening purposes they had no recourse. But now there is no excuse for
eating lard-soaked pastry and jeopardising your digestion with lard-soaked food.
Cottolene is a vegetable product pure, healthful, digestible. It contains no
hog fat. Even a dyspeptic can eat and enjoy Cottolene food without the after
pangs of indigestion.
Once give Cottolene a fair trial and you'll banish lard from your kitchen
forever.
