The recent deal whereby the Standard
Oil Company absorbed its last rival was
one of the greatest transactions of recent
years. The Manhattan was the company
swallowed up, and the gulp cost
the Standard something like S15,-
100000. The great monopoly played a
successful game of 'freeze out" against
the Manhattan, which virtually forced a
sale Before giving up the fight, how
ever, it is said the Manhattan lost some
millions Of dollars in endeavoring to fill
contracts after the Standard had run the
price Of crude oil up TO an extravagant
figure,

An Indiana young man was recently on
rs way to get married when a deputy
sheriff summoned him to attend court as
a juror. He went before the Judge, ex-
planned the matter and asked to be ex-
cused. The judge refused. The young
juror served three days and then got off
and went to the home of the young lady.
But she wouldn't even him;
called him villain and told him to skip.
The youngster has brought suit against
the judge for damages. He was, uncon-
stitutionally, detained in his pursuit of
happiness

A Baltimore cotton firm has reached
the rather surprising conclusion that the
prospective demand of the world for cot
ton justities an increased production. The
Baltimore Sun sums up the firms reasons
leading to this conclusion thus; "Cotton
may be expected to sell higher the coming
year, provided production is not carried
to excess. The end of the Lancashire cot
ton strike promises an increased con-
sumption. If the former rate of consump-
ton be restored some $3.50 600 bales will
be wanted The crop this year will APP
proximate 6,500,000 bales. This, with the
stock on hand and the foreign crop, will
barely meet consumption of all kinds,
which, in lS91-'92, was II ,S94 900 bales"

the secret work was exemplifed.
Speeches were made by members of the
Ellis, Hays City and Wa-Keeney lodges
and general, old-fashioned love feast
was held. The hospitality of Ellis lodge
was boundless, and we are inclined to
the belief that much of their success is
due to the fact that they carry out in
every day life the noble principles
taught by the order. We but voice the
sentiment of every visitor present when
we say that we never enjoyed ourselves
better in our lives. The lodge now has
Ia applications for membership and, in
a very short time, will have at least 100
members. As we intimated before this
is remarkable. The following are the

We had the pleasure of attending
meeting of Ellis lodge No. PIP A. O. U.
w. last Monday evening. Quite num-
Der OF the brethren from Hays City were
present and, without exaggeration, it
was the most interesting session we have
ever attended in Kansas. The Ellis
lodge has " members, which is certain
ly remarkable, considering the territory
in which they are located, and shows the
vigilence and activity of those engaged
in the noble work of Protection.
Seven new members were initiated into
the mysteries of the order and, we might
remark, that the Ellis team have but
few equals in the state for doing that
sort of work. The goat was rather
risky and not one of the candidates
complained of not receiving the worth
of his money. About twelve O'Clock the
lodge repaired to the large banquet hall
on the south side where the ladies of the
Degree of Honor had provided supper
that would have surprised even the cpl
cures of our eastern states had they been
present. About lbs partook of supper
and there was enough left for twice that
number. The ladies of Ellis certainly
have no rivals in this very important
feature of the work and to the Degree of
Honor must be accorded full measure
of praise for the success of the meeting.
