SOUTEiEIESN ENTERPRISE.

A very remarkable illustration of
the spirit which anlmate5 the South
and of the enterprise Of the people of
this section has been given in the
manner in which TRUSTS" are han
died. We believe that only two
"Trusts'' of any special Importance
organized to control business interests
centering exclusively in the South
have ever been formed, and both Of
them have been practically defeated
by the determination and enterprise
of Southern people, while OF '|Irusts"
organized in other sections we cannot
recall the defeat of any single one Of
more.
The American Cotton OIL Trust, an
ofIshoot of the great Standard Oil Co.,
was organized 10 monopoliZe the cot
ton-5ccd oil business. Before the
public was aware OF what WAS being
done, this ..Trust' had secured the
control OF almost every first class cot
ton oil mill III the South, and It's
monopoly seemed complete. Like
the Standard Oil Co., in PENNSYLVANIA,
the American Cotton Oil Trust was
bent upon an absolute control Of ev-
cry branch of the trade, and, backed
by the vast wealth Of its parent, it
looked to many as though it was use
less to fight it. The South however,
did not 50 regard the matter, and Just
when its control seemed most absolute

State, and It's great railroad would
never have been investigated IN
der Radical rules. The Camcrons
are so powerful In the Republican
party, that instead Of investigating
their affairs, the party would have
shielded them in every possible
way. Not 80 with the Democratic
party. Il is mautully battling for
lower taxes the rights Of the
citizens. The vast corporations
and trusts hate the Democratic
party, and that is one OF the stron-
gest reasons why the masses will
stand by it.
BY the time this Congress adiourns
and the Presidential nominations
shall have been made, the people
will clearly understand the issues
and We firmly believe the Repub-
lican party will be overwhelmingly
defeated.-Yie ksburg Herald.

Corn for Fuel, but Happy and
COntented.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON SPRINGS, Jan. 13.-The
Washington hills are snOw-bound.
There is more snow now on the ground
than since the winter of 80 and 'S1,
and, while it is almost impossible to
get around, and many are completely
out of coal, yet the farmers are jubilant
over the prospect of crop the coming
season. which will help to stave off the
day of judgment yet little longer. If
we can, by dint of economy, manage to
pay the money sharks the interest on
that $50 or 500 note, we should be we'll
satisfied. With the heavy fall of snow
in Dakota this winter we bave every
indication of an abundant yield of all
kinds of grain the coming season. l
speak of this south part of Dakota.
South Dakota had large corn yield the
past season, and many of our people are
burning corn this winter. There is no
syndicate or trust on it, at this end of
the route, and the one at the other
makes it so cheap that we can buy and
burn it at not to exceed twO-thirds the
cost of coal, besides saving in hauling.
1t takes 1000 pounds to make ton of

intoxication, while they witnessed the
scenes below. The most conclusive
proof of the above statement is that all
these vessels have a strong odOr
of tea, and that fact alone
should convince the most skeptical.
Time alone can clear away the mystery
which hangs like thick mist between
us and the past, and bring to light the
secrets which, for the present, will have
to remain so. Other portions of the
earth have disappeared suddenly and
unaccountably, and often being en-
tOmbed for centuries have been un-
earthed by the hand of man,
and made to tell their story in
the light of modern times. There has
now been organized at this place an en-
thusiastic club, who have adopted the
euphonious title of knights of Ancient
Antiquities" and they are going to
begin operations Immediately for the
purpose of discovering the ancient peO-
pie who have long ago vanished from
the face of the earth. 1t is composed of
classical scholars and great adventures,
who delight in delving in the mysteries
Of the past. 8. W. DUNCAN.

DOESN'T GUY HER NOW.
A Racing Match Taken Down a
Peg by a PluCky Woman.

frankie Cleveland won the hearts of
the people by marrying president.
She deserves credit for that, but Grand
Forks, OAK, lady won the hearts of the
denizens of that lively little city not
long ago more completely in half an
hour, says the Dakota News. She did it
with horse.
The lady drove sleepy-looking car
rage horse about town on her shopping
tours that in appearance didn't look as
though it could go mile in week. A
well known citizen had spanking big
team that was acknowledged to be the
swiftest in the town. The lady and
gentlemen met in society frequently,
and the latter never lost an opportunity
to chaff her about her ill-lOOking"norse.
One day they happened to drive up to
Say" began the man as he looked at
the lady and then glanced at the horse,
''why don't you hitch snail to your
carriage? 1t would go faster than that
horse and look deuced sight better"
"YOu have 'guyed' me repeatedly
about that horse" replied the lady.
Now, I'll wager that I'll beat you in a
half-mile race"
"Pll bet you $40 you can't"
"Wait till drive home and get the
money and I'll take YOU"
"Never mind doing that; I'll loan you
the money!" broke in bystander.
The money was put and half mile
on a level street was chosen. Half
the town witnessed the race. The
flyers got on an even start and away
they went. The little horse Spurted at
the start and took the lead. The little
beasts name and tail fairly stood up in
the air as she went at Maud gait
down the stretch. The big team was
not only beaten, but in a straight race
would have been distanced. The town
went wild. They are guying the man
yet up in that country.

BURNED. AT THE STAKE.
Shoshone Indians Dispose of AN
Old SuuaW in an Old Way.

ShoshOne Indians Dispose of AN
Old Squaw in an Old Way. ~
A horrible crime, and one of the most.
diabolical ever committed in Wyoming.
occurred last week in the northwestern
portion of the territory, not many miles
from Fort Washable, and on the
Shoshone reservation. says the Cheyenne
Sun. An Indian woman, who was prob
ably regarded as burden by the bal
ance of her band, was unfortunate
enough to meet with an accident
whereby she sustained fracture of one
of her limbs. The bucks, who appear
to have everything their own way; corln-
ciled together and came to the cOnclu-
sion that the best thing to do with the
poor cid woman was to put her to death.
In pursuance of this plan, after divest-
ing her of every garment that could pro-
tect her from the cold, they drove stakes
in the ground and tied her to them, and
left her to freeze to death. At the ex-
piratfon of two days and nights both of
her arms were frozen solid, but she was
not dead. Concluding that some more
expeditions way must be adopted, they
gathered a lot of old blankets, piled
them upon. and around her, and set
them on fire.
The result OF this terrible torture was
that her body was so badly burned that
the inner organs were left exposed.
Then they let the fire go out, and left
her to freeze again. AT the expiration of
tWenty-four hours death at last came to
her relief.
The affair has been reported to the In
dian agent, and it would seem that if
ever the perpetrators of a horrible crime
would be visited with condign and re-
lentless punishment, the actors in this
horrible drama are the ones, and if in
melting out justice vengeance ought to
be the word--to these brutal hyenas in
human form. it becomes necessary to
impale every ;'buck' of the ShoshOne
reservation on the .bayonet, and with
the bloody hands that perpetrated this
deed chopped off, left hanging in mid
air to howl out the remainder of Il mis-
cradle existence that has been naught
but curse to the world-if this is nee
essary it should be done, and done
spec Oily.

Has Always Been That Way.
Bismarck Tribune.

Bismarck Tribune.
A Dakota governor is in office about a
year when 'One who is near the throne"
or "a man high up in influence with the
president" turns up with an interview
somewhere to the effect that "the gov
ernor must CO." 1t has always been
that way and the precedent is being
followed now. Knowing ones had Ord
way dismissed from month to month
during the last half of his term, and
the same predictions followed Pierce.
Now comes Hon. p. st. John. who for
merly represented the Fifteenth New
York district in congress, but now
resident of Aberdeen, who tells the
News of that city that he has "a friend''
who is acquainted with Church and also
with Lamont and that i'll Washington
recently he talked with the latter, and
Lamont stated in positive terms that
