While in conversation with the com mlssioner from the 1st township he said the people of thai township were very desirous of securing this school and that they were intending to do everything possible to have it located there. , It was thought at the meeting which was held at the court .house last Satur day that two days would belong enough for the committee who 'bad charge of the work to secure a sufficient number of the name) of voters in this township so that an election could be called but such proved not to be the case. Still there is chance that the school will be located near this city. PILES ! PILES I PILES I Williams' Indian Pile Ointment ill cure Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles.

Boyd while charging the grand jury with reference to . the trusts, 'said that the recent decisio'n of the Supreme Court which declared the Standard Oil Company and the Ameri can Tobacco Company liegnl combina tions, did not mean' only- that the cor porations as legal entities were guilty of a criminal offeiee but that the active agencies and instrumentalities, whether they be other corporations or persons, would also be guilty of a criminal viola tion of the law. "That is, " Baid he, "such agencies as were part and parcel of the combi nation which these corporations had formed anawhich were a part and par cel of the common design which these principal corporations proposed to carry, out. If such agencies or instrumental! ties, whether in the form of corpora tions or associations, being a part of tho combination or organization of the Standard Oil Company or the American Tobacco Company, such agencies in the opinion of the Supreme Court .have vio lated the an ti-trust act of Confess." Ho said the people and the courts have been waiting on this decision in being guided as to their act inns toward illegal compacts ot combinations and that since the StiDieme Court has tin-. dertaken to describe the meaning of illegal restraint it now becomes the duty of the authorities to enforce the law aid enforce it strenuously. He said that if agencies of these corporations a e found in the territory of the court unlawfully engaged they are guilty. "Peter The Painter." ' & Manila, June 6.

In the building wai a complete circular saw outfit, a planing machine an! rhumber of other valuable machin es and aiso the dry kiln. Altogether the property destroyed was valued at about $8,000 and as there was no insur ance on the plant it is a total loss. There was no regular watchman at the mill but shortly after 12 o'clock a eolored man who was employe 1 there passed by the plant, at that time there was no sign of fi e. An hour later, however, flames were belching forth from all side. An effort was made to save some of the machinery.

Washington, June 7 Abandoning hope of defeating in committee the Root amendment to the Canadian reci procity bill, affecting: the print paper and wood pulp clause1 of the - govern ment, friends of the measure have be gun on the floor of the Benate an active campaign to prevent acceptance of the Root provision. Thu President showed anxiety over the situation when, after an executive session of 'the senate fin ance committee, he appealed to the Democratic senators" to stand out against the amendment. Senator Stone ex pressed to the President his confidence that far more than; a majority would be found voting against the bill and all other amendments that may be of fered. The administration throughout has contended that amendments to the. bill probably would be fatal, and by reason of this contention the measure was passed by the hmse in the form desired by the state department. The same ar gument was advanced when the meas ure was turned over to the senate fin ance committee, and Chairman Pen rose, of the committee, has endeavored to prevent consideration of any amend ments. A decided majority of the Democrats are favorable to reciprocity, but until, comparatively recently many of them, dispose:! toward political advantage, made the condition that the Candaian bill should receive no consideration ex cept in connection with the pet Demo cratic measure. They have abandoned tl nK attitude, and now ann unce boldly that they will oppose any amendments of whatever nature. They have gone to the extent of rejecting overtures frm the progressivestwhich the coup led with a promise oirthe part of the part of the latter to tack the free list on to the reciprocity bill.

LUMBER TRUST lESTIUFl Chicago Grand Jury Probing Con- ditiocs in the Lumber Business, Chicago, June? .The federal inves tigation of Conditions in the lumber in dustry, looking toward the prosecution of the alleged "lumber trust, "has been begun before a special grand jury in the United , States district court. Three Chicagoans, Henry A.Sellen, vice-president of a sash and door company; Har ry H. Munger, president of a door com pany and George J. Pope, vice presi dent of a local lumber eoncern, testi fied. Concidcnt with the opening of the in- -quiiy Oliyer E. Ragan, government in dictment expert, arrived and began a study of the evidence, said to have been (fathered by special agent". The case is based on the theory that the various unrler deilers, associations and com panies form a conspiracy in restraint of trade. The inquiry will affect only or ganizations of the middle west, south and west. Among the points alleged by the government representatives are: That the associations have forced the consumers to buy lumber products from recognized" retail merchants. That wholesalers and manufacturers who have sold directly to consumers have been blacklisted and that consum- rs buying from manufacturers have met the same fate. That the purpose of lumber organiza1 tiona have been to create a list of per sons violating rule-t of the trade and to maintain strict rules governing the con duct of business. B. P. S.

The earthquake shook the city just before daylight. At the first shock every light was extinquished and there was a rumble like artillery, which pre vailed for several-women's. No pe sonal property of Ajmefleans was damaged, and, with tha exception of one Chinese killed, no foreigners were injuied. In the barracks where the soldwrs were killed, 12 women also lost their lives. They were the wives of artillerymen. The water mains cf the city were not injured and the light and power com pany suffered little inconvenience in operations. Some damage, was done to street car tracks, but not enough to interfere with traffic, except on one lire. The projection of the front wall of the Belem prison was thrown into the street No great damage was done. Two of the capital's old churches and the National palace showed effects of ' the shock. Long cracks appeared in all of them. In the palace, a keystone in one of the arches was thrown almost out. The two churches are Santo Do mingo and LtProfesa, the latter in San Francisco street.
