SNAPPY.
YVhenwetold you that Our Young Men’s Clothes
for spri°g 1906 would be the smartest and snappiest
styled line ever designed exclusively for young men,
it wasn’t brag. It was just ourfrank, plain-spoken
opinion aroused by the striking swaggerness of the
clothes themselves,
When we tell you now that our words of praise
couldn’t have done full justice to the betterment
of these, our Young Hen’s Clothes, over other so
called young men’s lines, it isn’t HERE CLAIM, but
the circumstantial evidence in the case.
That our Young Men’s Clothes are really the
right garb for the knowing >oung men’s trade, is
evident by the heavy sales we have had on them
this season. If we havent heard from you, we figure
that you have not heard from us, at any rate if you
wa nt immediate action, come to us

MANY SUFFERERS WITHOUT FOOD
So Far but Few Lives Are Reported
Lost—Some Stories of Human Inter
est in Connection with the Great
Fire.
Milwaukee, Wis., May 21.—A stall
correspondent of the Sentinel, who
Sunday made a tour of the district in
the upper peninsula of Michigan, cov
ered by the forest tires in a special
train, telegraphed to his paper that
the fire appears to be practically out
in ail of the district. The fires raged
for a distance of 64 miles along the
line of the Escanaba and Lake Supe
riur railroad, and for 30 miles beyond
Channing, the western terminus of the
road. It seems certain now that two
thousand persons are homeless in that
district, and that 1,000 are left deso
late at Quinnesec.
The Quinnesec fire, however, was ol
different origin from tne Escanaba
fire, having started in a field where
men were pulling stumps and burning
debris. This fire spread into the city,
wiped out all the buildings, except
three residences, and the paper mills
Then the fire spread into the timbei
and running north for 40 miles, final
ly Joined the flames sweeping east on
Escanaba.
It has also been learned that Wood
lawn and Kingsley, on the Escanaba
and Lake Superior line, were destroy
ed, and Perkins, on the Northwestern.
The strip burned along the Escana
ba and Lake Superior ro£3 appears
to be 30 miles wide, and the alarming
nature of the earlier reports of the
fire seem to be thoroughly verified by
the trip.
Stories of heroic battles against the
flames are numerous. Dozens of the
towns were saved only by the most
desperate battles with the flames.
Northland, a town of 1,000 Inhabitants,
was three times threatened.
Many Freaks were seen. One man,
who carried the coffin with the corpse
of his dead baby 30 miles to Escana
ba on escaping from the fire, went
back on the special train and found
his home gone, but the picket fence
surrounding the house was untouched
The ashes of his house had been
blown away by the gale, and the fence
was the only evidence of human habi
tation. The rest of the town had also
been swept away. A remarkable feat
ure of the fire is the fact that nearly
all the refugees are-uiot disheartened
but are determined to return and be
gin anew. They have only the cloth
Ing on their backs as possessions.
Murdered Girl to Hide Her Disgrace.
Akron, 0., May 21. —The finding of
the dead body of Minnie Brandt, a
young woman of this city, early Sun
day in a hay mow led to the arrest ol
Leo Dybel, aged about 26 years. Ac
cording to the police, Dybel has con
fessed that he killed the girl. Dybel,
the police say, told them that he kept
the girl secreted in the hay mow foi
four days, endeavoring to hit upon
some plan to avoid disgrace to both
her and himself, and that he wanted
to marry her, but hia mother opposed
It. He says he finally shot the girl.

New York, May 21.—A strike of the

otherwise resulted. As it was, aboui
thirty funerals had to be postponed

TEXT OF RATE RILL
AS PASSEOBY SENATE
Act Points Out Common Car
riers of Country.
i ■
CITES DUTIES AND RESTRICTIONS
Bill Now Awaits Only Concurrence of
House on Senate. Amendments and
Signature of President —Will Have a
Far-Reaching Effect.
Washington, May 21.—The railway
rate bill, which has now passed both
branches of congress and awaits only
the concurrence of the house on the
senate amendments and the signature
of the president, will have a more far
reaching effect than any law of recent
years.
The most important provision of the
act confers on the interstate commerce
commission the authority, on com
plaint, to examine into any charge or
practice of a carrier alleged to be un
just, and when such allegation Is sus
tained to prescribe what shall be a
Just and reasonable maximum rate or
charge, regulation or practice.
The act defines as common carriers
owners of pipe lines engaged in the
transportation of oil or other commod
ity, except water and natural or arti
ficial gas; also sleeping car and express
companies, and all forms of private
cars, terminals, switches and spur
tracks.
The issuance of passes or free trans.
portation in any form to all persons,
except employees of carriers and their
families and certain exempted classes,
is forbidden, and a penalty of not less
than SIOO nor more than $3,000 Is pro
vided, not" only for the person issuing
such free transportation, but also for
the person applying for or accepting it.
Common carriers are prohibited, on
and after May 1, 1908, from transport
ing across any state or territorial line
any article or commodity other than
timber and the manufactured products
thereof, manufactured, mined or pro
duced by it or under its authority.
They are required to construct and op
erate upon reasonable terms sidetracks
and switch lines and to furnish cars
for the movement of traffic without dis
crimination and to furnish equally good
accommodations to all persons paying
the same fare.
Carriers must print and post in con
spicuous places all tariffs and charges,
and such charges cannot be changed
without thirty days’ notice to the pub
11c and to the interstate commerce com.
mission, except where the commission
waives such notice. They are required
In time of war or threatened war, on
demand of the president, to give pref
erence and procedence to the transpor
tation of troops and munitiesof war.
Every person, company or corporation,
whether carrier or shipper, is prohib
ited from offering, granting, giving, so
liclting, accepting or receiving any re
bate, preference or discrimination.
Heavy penalties, and in some in
stances Imprisonment, are prescribed
for violation of the provisions of the
act, individuals and corporations alike
to be held guilty of misdemeanor for
any violation, willfully committed, and
the corporations and individuals are
held responsble for the acts of any
agent. Failure to publio tariffs entlls
a fine of not less than SI,OOO and not
more than $20,000.
Granting or accepting of rebates or
kindred discriminations entails a fine
of not less than SI,OOO and not more
than $20,000, and the individual guilty
of such act is liable *to imprisonment
for not more than two years in addi
tion to the fine, in the discretion" ol
the court.
Any shipper who willfully accepts a
rebate or discrimination must, In addi.
tion to the above penalties, pay to the
United States three times the value ol
such rebate or discrimination, and the
attorney general Is required to bring
civil suit to recover this penalty when,
ever he believes such, violation of law
has occurred.
The authority of the Interstate com
merce commission to fix maximum
rates refers not only to single, but joint
rates, and applies where one of the
parties to the joint rate is a water line.
For failure to obey an order of the
commission the carrier forfeits to the
United States $5,000 for each offense,
and each day of a continuing viola
tion is deemed a separate offense.
Where the interstate commerce com
mission orders a refund to a shippei
and the carrier fails to refund, the
shipper may Institute civil suit to re
cover; the finding of the commission
constitutes prlma facie evidence of the
facts, and the petitioner is not liable
for the costs in the court or at any
subsequent stage of the proceedings,
and if the petitioner finally prevails a
reasonable attorney fee is allowed him.
The Interstate commerce commission
or any person injured by a failure of a
carrier to comply with an order of the
commission, other than the payment ot
money, may apply to the circuit court,
and if the case is established the court
shall issue a writ of injunction, man
datory or otherwise, to restrain such
carrier from further disobedience, and
from such action appeal shall lie direct
to the supreme court of the United
States, where the case shall have pri
ority of hearing and determination.
The commission is authorized to re
quire the most comprehensive statis
tics from all common carriers regard
ing their business under a penalty on
the carriers of slofi for every day in
default. | 11 ; * 1

SYSTEMS OF WRITING.
The Famorni Method Ivuowu as the
Boustrophedon.
About tlie year 450 B. C. the lonians
first introduced the system of writing
from left to right. Previous to that
time all scribes and penmen in general
had been in the habit of beginning the
line on the right hand side of the page
and running it toward the left. The
introduction of the left to right mode
of writing caused considerable confu
sion for a time, and from the mixed
systems which prevailed during the fol
lowing century sprang the famed meth
od known as the boustrophedon. Those
who used the system last mentioned
would begin a line at the left margin
of their parchments and run it through
to the opposite margin and then drop
a space below and run back to the op
posite edge of the sheet again. In oth
er words, the boustrophedon mode of
writing was a system in which the lines
ran alternately from left to right and
from right to left. This system did not
entirely disappear until about the time
of Christ. The ancient Hebrew and
Greek languages were written from
right to left, but at about the time the
lonians were reforming writing meth
ods the Greek letters were changed in
form from the uncial to the cursive,
and the system of writing was changed
In both cases so as to run from left to
right. The following quotation from
Franklin illustrates the mixed, or bous
trophedon, system of writing:
"When I see a merchant overpolite to
a ekat ot meht gniggeb .sremotsuc sih
little brandy and throwing his goods on
na sah nam taht I skniht .retnuoc eht
ax to grind.”-—St. Louis Republie.
AN OLD LEGEND.
The Ancient Story of I.ilith, Adam’s
First Helpmeet.
The old Talmudists bad a queer leg
end concerning the first pair created
by the Almighty, According to the
story, Lilith was Adam’s original “help
meet” and Eve was the after considera
tion. The Talmud says that Lilith was
created just as Adam was—out of the
dust of the earth. after the
breath of life had been breathed Into
her ears (you will remember that the
Bible says “nostrils” in Adam’s case)
her entire nature changed to such an
extent that she became a veritable de
mon. About this time the devil came
along, and, recognizing in Adam’s wife
all that was necessary to make a first
class governess of the infernal regions,
persuaded her to quit the first man and
go with him into the “upper regions of
the air.” To us this seems like a queer
place for the location of hell, but that
Is the direction the pair is said to have
taken when they left Adam as the sole
occupant of the garden. -At home with
the king of the sulphurous domain, she
became the mother of devils and then
deserted Pluto and became a “specter
of darkness.”
After this transformation her sole de
light appears to have been in the de
struction of Innocent babes. It is even
said that our word “lullaby” is a cor
ruption of the oriental term, “lilla abi,”
which means “avaunt,” or “begone,
Lilith.”
DIAMONDS.
U Tom Want to Make Them, Here la
the Process of Manufacture.
Would you like to kuow how to man
ufacture diamonds—real diamonds? The
process is somewhat difficult, requiring
time, patience and some odfTay of mon
ey, but then consider the possible re
sults! The diamond, we know, is sim
ply carbon in a transparent crystalline
form. It comes of humble parentage
and Is brother to the lump of coal.
Unlike easily crystalllzable bodies,
carbon is insoluble iu all ordinary solv
ents, but molten metals will combine
with it. Let the diamond maker choose
Iron for a solvent for charcoal, melting
it In an electric furnace, allowing it to
take up as much carbon as it can—in
other words, saturate itself with car
bon. The crucible containing the white
hot metal should then be plunged into a
bath of molten lead. The result will be
that globules of Iron will rise to the
surface of the lead and are quickly
cooled on the outer surface. Inside the
hard crust the iron remains for some
time in a molten condition, and as iron
expands in solidifying the contents of
these little globules receive a pressure
unattainable by any other means.
"When the lead becomes solidified some
bullets of Iron will be found bound up
In the mass. Dissolve with some pow
erful acid first the lead and then the
Iron, and a residue of carbonaceous
matter will be,found to contain tiny
crystals—real diamonds. Any chemist
with a well equipped laboratory can
make diamonds In this way, but the
largest of them will not be more than a
fiftieth of an Inch In diameter.
The Ordinaries to Organize^
Columbus, Ga„ May 21.—Judge Wil
liam Redd, Jr., ordinary of Muscogee
county, is sending out notices to the
ordinaries of the state ta attend a meet.
Ing at the Bibb court house ih Macon
on May 29tti, at which time the ordi
naries plan to reorganize their old as
sociation. Over 50 per cent of the
ordinaries of the state have expresssed
a desire to have an organization of
their own. They formerly had such
an association, but later it was merg
ed with the general association of
county officers. The formation of an
other association by the ordinaries
does not necessarily mean that they
will withdraw from the county offi
cers’ association.

Washington, May 21. —Monday be
