Bill Against Standard Trust.

As a result of the recent Ohio
senate trust investigation, Senator
Vernon H. Burke has prepared a
bill directed against the Standard
Oil company and will introduce it
in the senate before the close of the
week. Senator Burke says: "The
senate committee has collected
abundant evidence showing that the
railroads are discriminating in favor
of the Standard and against other
shippers. The evidence shows that
this discrimination amounts to 70
per cent. on part car loads. The bill
makes it unlawful tor any railroad
to make rates discriminating in ia.
vor of any shipper. 1t is provided
that the law go into effect July 1
1898.

REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE
So Decides at Its Monthly
Meeting.
Held Last Night-A More Sensible View
of the situation and the Man Will be
Voted For Instead of Party Preju'
dices-The Citizens Came TO NauSht.

The Republican District com
mittee, of Tyler county met in their
regular monthly session last even
ing at their quarters over the Tyler
County bank.
A majority of the members were
present and an interesting meeting
was held.
The most important question be-
fore the meeting was: Shall the
coming municipal contest be polltl'
cal or non-politicalS'
The committee, while it is de-
parture from the regular order Of
things, declared unanimously that
they would take no part in the conf
ing contest, and that good mayor
and council was wanted regardless
of party or politics. This is a com
mendable action and shows wise
Judgment on the part of this com
mittee. Party affiliations should not
be adhered to in the selection and
election of a council in a city as
small as ours.
This was the only question OF
significance before the committee,
and soon after the disposition OF the
question above referred to, they adj
iourned. The citizens meeting
called by Kesterson and few 9TH
ers, was of minor moment. Posi-
bly, ten or fifteen assembled at
Rice's hall, but no meeting was
held. It is understood that another
meeting has been arranged for the
near future, an account OF which
we will give later.
The deepest concern is felt by
nearly all over the coming contest,
and while no nominations or an
nouncements have been made, be
sure to select a good man. The
town is full of them. While it is not
renumerative position, it IS the
duty of every citizen to help keep
the ci:y's affairs in good condition.
1t matters not what our next
mayors politics are so he is good
fnancier and an upright man. The
present council, or a portion OF
them at least, have held office sui
fcent1y long to warrant a change.

SERIOUS FIST FIGHT
A. me county seat Other Late News
From, the .wickedest Town in the
Middlebourne, Feb. III.

OOaMtys =
Middlebourne, Feb 81.
The old town had a small diver
sion from its routine ways Saturday.
A fstic encounter betweenJno. Hill
and George Steiner was the cause.
1t was without regulation gloves
and not according to Marquis of
Oueensbury rules. His Honor,
Mayor Morey, had the principals
brought before him and proceeded
to ascertain how much the peace
and dignity of the town had been
damaged. After hearing the story
of both parties and sundry witnesses
His Honor decided that said peace
and dignity had been damaged to
the extent of one dollar and costs,
and in Steiner's case, he being the
aggressor and cause of the trouble,
to the extent of SIS and costs and
30 days in jail. The sentence was
suspended providing Steiner should
leave the town in "a hours. Steiner
has been boarding at young HITS
mothers and in some manner has
caused family troubles, which
caused the encounter aforesaid.
Steiner struck Hill on the head
with piece of iron, inficting a
small scalp wound. Otherwise no
damage was done.
The sick off the town and vicin-
ity are: DR.. Courtney, who is very
low with rheumatism and malaria
with no hopes of recovery, and Miss
Rachel Harter, who is convalescent.
Died, at his home in Centreville
Friday night, Feb IS, Ralph Baker.
He was the proprietor of the hotel
at that place, and leaves a widow,
several children and three brothers
and three sisters, who have the sym
pathy of large circle of friends.
The funeral took place yesterday at
II O'Clock and the remains were in
tered at Fairview.

reavement.
