Standard Oil Company Indicted.

Austin, Texas, November 22.-The Nc
Kenan county grand jury yesterday created
a sensation by returning indictments
against the officials of the Standard Oil
company, from John D. Rockefeller down.
The charge is the violation of the antitrust
law OF Texas. The allegations on which the
indictments were asked were originally
made by the Populist campaign committee
of the state. The indictments were not re-
turned, it is alleged because Gov. Hogg and
the attorney general were shielding the
Standard Oil company for substantial rea-
sons. Gov. Hogg has agreed 10 issue requisi-
lions for the arrest of the indicted persons.
The contract for rebuilding part of the
burned section of the Bath Iron Works has

What Goes to Make Paper.

Paper can be made out of almost anything that can be pounded to pulp
 Over fifty kinds of bark are employed, while old saci1ing or bagging makes a good article. Paper is made out of banana skins, from bean stalks, pea vines, cocoanut fiber, clover and timo- thy hay, straw, fresh-water weeds, sea weeds and more than one hundred diff ferent kinds of grass. Paper has been made from hair, fur and wool, from as bestos, WI ich furnishes an article in- destructible hy fire; from hop plants, from huslls of any and every kind of grain. Leaves make a good, strong paper, while the husks and stems of Indian corn have also been tried; and almost every kind of moss can be made into paper. There are patents for making paper from sawdust and shay ingS, from thistleS and thistle down, from tobacco stalks and tan bark. It is said that there are over two thou sand patents in this country covering the manufacture of paper. No matter what the substance, the process is sub- stantially the same; the material is ground to pulp, then spread thinly over a frame and allowed to dry, the subsequent treatment depending on the kind of paper to be made,

The Terrible Night and Gay Passed or

the Northern Ecshe<<s.
 A sealing brig. immersed in the densest fcg and driven by the gale, was running down 2 narrow lane or opening in the ice, when the shout of breake~s ahead and the crash of the bows upon a reef came in the same moment. The crew sprarg overheard upon the leaving ice-ield, and almost immediately saw their strong and beautiful vessel sink into the ocean. The adventure Is related in: After Icebergs with Painter"
 Without food or extra clothing the forty men were remote from all help. To the west lay the precipitous shores of Cape Bonavista, and for this, the nearest land, in single file, with Capt. Knight at their head. the men com menced at sunset their dreadful and almost hopeless march.
 All night, without refreshment or rest, they went stumbling and plung- ing on thci- perilous way, now and then sinking into the slush between the ice-calses, and having to be drawn out by their companions. But for their leader and Q few other bold spirits, the party would have sunk down with fa- tigue and despair, and Perished.
 At daybreak they were still on the rolling ice-felds, beclouded with fog, and with nothing in prospect but the terrible cape and it's solitary chance of del;verance. Thirsty, famished and worn, they toiled OF, more and more slowly, all the morning, all the fore noon, all the afternoon; and then, be- wildered and lost in a dreadful cloud travelling along parallel with the coast, the poor fellows passed the cape with out knowing it.
 The captain looked back from time to time on the worn-out and suffering line of men, the last of them scarcely visible in the mist, and a thrill of dis couragement passed over him. Unless there was some change in their pros poets, he knew that few of them would live out another night on the ice. They had shouted until they were hoarse, and looacd into the endless gray until they had no heart for looking longer.
 Suddenly, just before sundown, they came to vessel. A few rods to the right or left, and they must have missed it. ''We were led by the hand of Providence" said Capt. Knight, in telling the story.

 The Conceited Dsncor.
 It's good fun to sit apart and notice the people at swell summer hotels, though sometimes it's little sad, too, says an eastern correspondent.
 The forward folk, who try to get ac- quainted with each newcomer of pre- tentious appearance, and who gets droppedas frequently as they are taken up, are amusing, as the newly rich, who fancy the ready road to elegance is gained by assuming a fierce haughti- ness, the maintaining of which makes them as uncomfortable as it does their interiors.
 The garrulous mothers who have to talk all day long about the charms and perfections of their daughters are pretty trying.
 Then there are the two or three lonely creatures who have drifted in somehow and are out of their element, and are quite conscious of the fact. They mourpfully sit out the concerts and eat their meals almost tearfully.
 There are, as a rule, so few men at the summer resorts that the few who hnger longer. than over Sunday get Sc swelled with their own importance that they are unbe2rably saucy.
 At the hop tho other night I noticed that the manner of the dancing men was as full of conceit as is a pudding of plums.
 They lounged mp to girl, held out their arms, smiled a sickly smile, as who should say:
 ''I'n give you a turn CT two, poor thing"
 I'd cling to the wall till I took root before I'd dance with them, but girls aren't all alike. and the conceited chaps had only to ''drop the handkerchief"
