Against Heavy Odds.

The alleged oppression practiced on
merchants by the Standard Oil com
pany in this state is liable TO result in
the organization of a state company
to compete with the Standard. 1t is
OF curse understood that the bismo-
nopoly n afford TO sell oil cheaper
than any state organization, but the
consumers, it is alleged, are becoming
so disguised with the practices of the
Standard that they will be willing be-
fore long to contract for their oil and
gasoline at u price that will allow
merchants to live, notwithstanding
the Standard people will offer oil at a
still lower figure. The largest indie
pendent concern in the state was the
Coats & Sells company OF Sioux Falls.
and this succumbed to the Standard
in a short time. YanktoL, Mitchell,
Huron, Aberdeen and many other
towns are said to be getting on their
ear and the Standard may yet lose its
upehallenged title to the state.

Carriage Headlights.

Electric harness lights for car
fiage use were probably first employ
ed in connection with one OF the car
riages Of the German emperor and
were designed for the convenience
Of the coachman in driving along dark
thoroughfares. How quickly their adj
vantages were realized is parity
shown by the fact that a Berlin firm
is now making n speciality Of this par
ticular application of electricity. ana
headlights promise 500 TO become eY-
eTyday affairs. The electric wires,
which are arranged along the harness
are contained in India rubber tube
which are sewn into the leather, so as
TO be protected from rain and damage
and the current is supplied from a stor-
age battery OF from four to six cells
arranged in a box weighing from
about forty to fifty-five pounds. Inc
cells are ebonite boxes filled with u
gelatinous mass, no acid fluid being
used. The battery measures ny
about Sx10 inches and can be easily
slowed away under the coachmans
