A pby sician was summoned by his wife but the sick man grew steadily worse during the day and expired last night at the hour stated. i Less tlian a year ago the deceased moved here from Poplar Grove to ac cent a place in the sewing i macldne factory. Ho was employed in Mr.

Jones. (From the Manufacturers' Eecord. Baltimore.) The barge trusts and combinations already formed and heing formed by aggregations of capital are considered hurtful to the masses and the common people. This is a theory. Theoretic ally, a thing may be bo and practic ally it may be very untrue.

When wd speak of trusts and'eombines we think of the Standard Oil Trust, the Sugar Trust, the Trust, etc. When the Standard Oil Trust was formed I was paying forty cents a gallon for kerosene oil; I am getting it now or ten' oents a gallo'h. II was paying twelve and One-half cents for sugar several years ago, but when the com bines set in we got it at five and one- quarter. When the Whiskey Truft was organized I was in hdpes it would put up whiskev.where; the poor devil couldn't get it, but they have -eeenied to cheapen that down to where they can pay the government $1.15 a gallon revenuoon it and yet sell it for which demonstrates I that they are making it and letting the fpublio have it at about twelve and ono half cents a gallon. There is no doubt about the aggre gation of wealth, with brains controlling it, that they can manufacture any article cheaper than it is or has been manufactured on a small scale.

The great railroad "combination many think, will eat us up blood rare. Oc casionally I get oh a little jerk -water road that is not in the combination and I want to double mw policies and be satisfied -with a 15- mile-an-hour gait and console myself with the idea that I can ride all day 1 I for a dollar, bui when I get on the wannest a .1 1 1 1 "uiojnuiagt uiiutfruin'sjisein or roads, Willi their schedules forty miles an hour, vestibuled trains, witlvparlor cars, sleeping cars, dining cars, I have a hotel on wheels carrying me towards my destination, and all this for about cents a mile. Give me the road that is in the combine to carry me where I am gointr. Britt, July 12. The "hoboa" of the United States will hold their second "hobo convention" here in August.

The masterful genius of Charles F. Noo, -Head Pipe of the Tourists Union the organization the gentlemen of the road, is once more at work, and the eccentric youth says tliat the gathering, this year will ecliise the convention licid at Danville, I1L, last year, and "will" cause even more comment than that much-talked-of affair. A "hobo" convention is uniouo. The originator is more so. Charles F.

Noe, w1k lives with his father at Sycamore, a small burg near Chicago, does not remember, thejime when he did not take to the grime and grease of a lx car like a duck to tho water. In comjKiny with several of his comrades whp now hold high office in the Tourists' Union, he attracted the attention of his townsfxsopie by "bumming" to Canton, during the Presidential campaign of 18VM5. The story of the lordly way the youthful tramps niarclnnl on the, famous irrass at McKinley's residence and shook the hand of the Republican nominee. is still re-lated at Ktarttnl the Tourist' nioii. It was "shortly after this trip that tho young man conceived the idea of the Tourist's Union, now a flourishing association.

Noo reasoned that, all other Jieople were organized. "Why not tho hobos?" he asked, and the re sut was the Danville branch of the Tourists Union. From the paren union tho order rapidly spread and whenever a "hobo" came into town or was met on the road he was taken into the union and given a card orna -uieutel by a coupling-pin and link, the insignia of tho union. Aluftt Staiul Kigitl KxuminatifMt. A rigid examination, however, had to Ik iassed.

The applicant was forced to answer successfully numerous questions. Among them were: Did yoii-e ver panhandle a dookie?" "Will you petition the congressman in your district for free soup iiouses iu every railroad center?" "Do you prefer a box car to a Pull- man sleeper?" "Do you promise to assist all fellow tramps when they are being run out of a one-horse village by the town marstial?" All genuine "tourists" easily answered tlFo questions and as a result tho membership of the union grew. Novy Head Piiie Noe estimates his followers by thousands. He says that comradeship is close and that a fellow "tourist" always helps a member of the organization along the road. Attracted Much Latst year at Danvillo the union held a big convention that attracted the attention of tho country.

Noe was the originator Noe was the. man who carried out the plans that Noe made; Noo was tho whole thing. The, programme included a parade of tourists" through the streets of Danville to their camp 011 a sand lot outside the city limits. The convention did not accomplish much last year. Noe explains this by shiting that the delegates were too partial to the big barrel of Dutch suds" furnished bv a sympathetic brewer.

He says that the program of this year's gatherng will be of general interest. The officers of the uinon are: President "Onion" Coton, Danville, 111. Head Pipe Charles F. Noe, Syca more, III. Chief Route Picker Oilman Frea, Chicago.

The allies have had desperate fight ing at Tietsin and sustained heavy amounting to 150 in one day It is doubtful if the Europeans losses alone. Can hold their own even there, unless they ure speedily reenforced.

A War of 1 be Peking massacre is bound to make the war to a great extend one of recvenge and the constantly increas ing artaiies which the powersare send ing eafet indicates their appreciation of the gflavity of the situation. rIn fact, it Is predicted by many conservative mil itary men familiar with the Chinese and their recent improvements in the army system that 500,000 Europeans will be necessary to bring the war to a successful termination.

These reverse had a disheartening ef- xeci jupon tne cmnese, and there soon began to be open signs of disaffec tionj followed by desertions to Prince Ching army, which were endeavor ing to cooperate with the besieged.

To the interested fishermen who saw them, however, Mr. White told a story that created a good deal of indignation ami threats against the violators of the fish It seems that yesterday at Porter's mills the water suddenly began to fail At the same time those in the mill were astonished to see tliat tho water in the race was rising.

It is Baid that it rose nearly two feet. Ui (course the proprietors of the mill immediately made an eXaminaton of the sluices to see what was stopping the water, pre venting it from reaching the wheels. They found the sluice full Of dead fish. There were fine big bass, pick rel weighing eight and ten jionndf, pike, catfish and suckers, a fino lot, and all stone dead. An investigation seemed to show that they liad been poisoned in some manner, as for instance a barrel of lime being.put into the river.

This will kih all of the fish for some dis tance about the point. There were so many fish in the sluice that they liad to be removed before a flow of -water could bo secured and Mr. Wliite brought a string of them to Belvidere to show what the law breakers are doing to the fish of the Kishwaukee They bore evidences of lime jwisoning. There is a disposition to punish these flagrant violatous of the law, and Warden White says that he will proHCcnte vigorously if he can secure evidence. Of course this particular slaughter of fish may have been done with dynamite, though it is stran that tho fish were not caught in a Viet provided for the purixso if that were the case.

Dynamiting lias been going on at various points along the river, anu mere is mucn 1 indignation over tho matter.

Dr.

Berry ds quoted as saying: jno one wants tnese change save those who have drifted from it teach ings and some pagan women who want to marry their daughters to society men. 1 Bishop Merrill said yesterday: "I did not hear Dr. Berry, but it is only thrashing over old straw. Presiding Elder Jackson, of the Chi cago district i "I take exceptions to the printed ut terances of Dr. Berry.

H. Cessna of the North Hal sted street church "Dr. Berry's statement regarding those who would change the rules of discipline and have the ban lifted from popular amusements is too wild and sweeping.

Those 250,000 men know that there are 0,000,000 of other people in America, and their wisdom teaches them where boundary lines are, over which they cannot go without per to themselves and disaster to business. No combination now says 'damn the public," but they liave their weathercocks out on eVery prominent cupola watching how the wind blows. Of course, political capital can be made out of such formations of wealth, and social orders may raise the black flag to fight them; but I am a thousand times more afraid of demagogues and politicians tlian I am afraid' of trusts and combines. Good govern mentwhich means not only tho well being or tho citizen, but the over throw of all that will hurt tho citizen depends Hpon good men in office. and we bad better pay less attention to what we call trusts and combina tions and more attention to those whom we elect to office in the munici pal, state and national governments.

Mr. Stead, in his book "If Chribt Came to Chicaeo, speaks of the Big Four of Chicago," and says of them that "their methods are clean and there transactions are honest but that in the road of their success lies the blood and bones of tho victims over whom they have run to success.

When God made this world He made mountains towering into the: clouds and valleys below- tho level of the sea He made lakes and oceans; "He spread out the prairies of tho west and piled up mountains around the little valleys along the ranges of the Rockies and the Alleghenies. In the ocean's waters we find whales and some very small fishes, and when the whales come along the little fish have to hide out. I have travelled over this coun try from ocean" to ocean and from Montreal to Galvesfon, annually for twenty years. I liave watched the progress 01 events and the7 processions as they marched.

I have yet to know of a 'single instance where combines and trusts hurt the masses or perma nentiy raised the price of any product. I am a thousand times more willing to deal with the trusts and combines am purchase their products than I am to put my money into their institutions and imperil my holdings, conscious their want of stability and fearing their final downfall. Of course these great combinations affect legislation, if they do: not control it in many instances, but while they may procure legislation in their own interets, yet they have' one eye upon the public sentiment all the time, conscious that thev can go just as far and no farther. Here and there they have shutdown a manufactory or closed up an institution and affected some individuals, but we are not looking from that standpoint. When we look at the 70,000,000 of our popu lation, we say they are only procuring cheaper and buying for less money these products than they could have done, under other circumstances.

-i With tho final disintegration of trusts and combines which will inevitably come when financial disaster and shrinkage of values shall come of course, tho surplus of their product will be thrown upon the market, and only the stockholders Ma these trusts and combines will suffer. As sure as that the sun shines, whenever any institution becomes unwieldy because of its size and bulk, it will finally fall of its own weight. 5 I am an expansionist, and I believe that one of the. causes of the stringen cy and shrinkage of values in this country is because we have not gone" out over the seas with our products as we should have done. While there is a demand for our product of the farm and manufactory of this country there will always be plenty of money; but when wheat and corn and cotton and all kinds of manufactures are a drug on the market, and no demand for them, then "we have stringency and hard times.

But when the highways over the seas shall be laden with our products into foreign countries, the gold is brongbf back in the ships, then we snail flourish perennially. These great combinations are the only powers in this country that can do this thing for us. 1 A negro and an old muie can maKe corn and cotton a fellow with a two hundred dollar saw mill can mako lumber. but only aggregations of, wealth can build ships and open markets in foreign lands.
