HEAVY WIND STORM AT RUDOLPH.
Hurricane That Seemed to Have Particu.
lar Fancy for Barns and Hen Houses.

There was a hard wind blowing over
the twin cities on the night of Tues
day. May 30, and a black sky in direct
contrast to the bright armament of
the day time betokened angry
elements, but no cyclone whirlshafts
developed here. 1t was different
however about II miles east of Rudolph
station. At lao o'clock Wednesday
morning a genuine cyclone buster
SwOoped down into section within a
radius of about onehalf mile there and
succeeded in topping over buildings,
raZing barns, and otherwise mixing
up farm structures, although no loss
of life or injury to stock is reported.
The havoc wrought by the wind is
told as follows by one of the property
owners:
Tom Sharkey'S barn, size 52X35, was
lifted and carried fifteen rods from it's
foundation, being dropped to earth in
a rather damaged condition. Two
boys, asleep in the barn, were injured
slightly.
Frank Sharkey, near neighbOr to
Tom, had his barn torn to the ground.
A log barn on the place occupied by
Joseph Sharkey and owned by Chas.
Maltais was leveled to earth in a
twinkling.
On the John Omaholt farm, the
large corn crib was carried over the
wire fence several feet without dis
tUrbing the fence at all, but the crib
was spoiled when IT met terra irma.
The water closet was picked up in the
back yard and deposited at the front
door.
At the farm of D. y. CONWAY a
chimney was blown off the house and
the chicken residence was completely
demolished, but not hen lost
feather.
Judging from the power evidenced
in this wind storm and the hour Of it's
visit to that vicinity, we deem it eX
ceedingly fortunate that more serious
details are not reported.

THE TRUSTS AND THE G. o.

ST. Louis Republic.
There is an opera bouffe f1avorsin the re-
peated attempts of local Republican pa
pers to attach credit to their party for OPP
posing trusts.
The fact is that trust influences domin-
ated the st. Louis convention, dictated the
platform and nominated the candidate
Trust money was freely contributed to
elect him Since McKinley's entrance into
Office trusts have multiplied as the sands
of the seashore. They are sure of their
ground and will go on invading the pro-
ductive sources of the country, undeter-
red by the declarations of trust animos.ty
made by newspapers of doubtful SINGER
ity
AS to the attitude of the Republican
party on the subject of trusts that was
put on record when the Democrats in the
last Congress offered an amendment to
the Dingley bill putting on the free list
all manufactured articles made the sub
cans voted down the amendment and
thereby put their party officially on the
journals of Congress as openly and boldly
upholdtng and abetting unlawful combines
in restraint of trade.
The American people will hardly be
duped into intrusting the determination
of this growing brood of commercial mon
sters to a party whose politics and prac-
tees are responsible for it's incubation.

DEPEW,S VIEW

Senator Chauncey Depew has been
interviewed in London on American
politics, and is quoted as saying:
''Unless we have some quite unlocked
for occurrence the Republicans will win
in the next Presidential election. IT, how
drawn out or we have a serious financial
crisis, the issue will be more doubtful
The Philippine campaign is likely to
be long drawn out" and a serious
financial crisis" is not impossible, at
the rate the trusts are going, under Re-
publican encouragement, but these
things, if they come to pass will not be
decisive of a situation described as
more than doubtful by the Senator,
under such conditions. "The issue is
more than doubtful already, and is
so recognized by impartial observers
of the political field. Democracy is
strong, aggressive and determined, and
issues of national Importance are plen-
tiful, and will appeal strongly to the
people when presented. In the coming
campaign the Republicans will fight on
the defensive, and will wage a losing
battle from the start.

While all of Wheeling is sympathiz.ng
with the street railway employees in their
struggle for higher wages, and men and
women are wearing the Il will walk"
badges, or riding in wagons to aid the
striking workmen in their efforts to secure
better pay, w. w. Bonar, deputy collec-
tor of internal revenue shows his con-
tempt for labor not only by riding on the
companys cars in spite of the protests
of the striking employees, but shooting
promiscuously into crowd of labor SYM
path.Zers. He is a government official,
appointed by A. B. White, and is a repre-
sentative of the Elkins-Scott-Wh COM
bination. He is supposed to represent
their political ideas, and il remains to be
seen whether they will stand by him in
his opposition to labor, even to the extent
of using violence. The laboring men
should know their friends and will watch
the outcome of this case with unusual in

Persistent Advertising
Brings Success.
ONE TRUST OPERATION.

Having gathered to itself nine-tenths
of the manufacturing ability of its line,
the window glass trust has closed down
its factories for an indefinite period,
and seventeen thousand men are idle
as result.
This is an example of trust opera
lions. The combine has a monopoly
OF production, has adjusted the price at
figure which suits it, and which must
be paid by consumers without either
protest or question, and now the fac
tories are closed until the stocks on
hand have been worked off at the adj
vance AS result dividends will be
paid upon millions of watered stocks,
and thousands of workingmen will
suffer as one result, while consumers
will suffer on the other hand A fur
Their advance in prices of glass, indeed,
is not improbable during the continu-
ance of this shutdown, and those who
don't like it will simply have to grin
and bear it,
One of the main and stock argu-
ments of trust promoters and benefici-
aries is that it decreases prices through
reduced expenditures in management,
and all the rest of it, and again. that
it benefits the workingmen employed
through advanced wages, made possible
by the peculiar conditions possible I'M
der general combination. Both of
these arguments are fallacious 1t is
true that the general Office expenses
have been reduced, but that particular
economy goes exclusively TO swell
profits; it is not true that prices have
been reduced, either in the glass trust,
or any other. The advantages to the
workman of increased wages are not
apparent, when he is laid off for an in
definite period, at no wages at ALL
This is trust history and trust prac-
tice, and the trail of the serpent will
be found throughout every branch of
industry which has been absorbed into
the Unsuitable NAV of these gigantic
and essentially soulless combinations.
The trust means evil to consumer, en-
ploye and the general public. Its cor
ner stone is fraud, falsehood and mis-
representation. Its chief constituents
are wind and water. 1t is a standing
menace to the industrial development
of the country, and its workings threat
en- alike banker and capitalist, investor
and workman. No good, but only evil,
can come out of it, in any shape or
form, or at any time, and brief period
will thoroughly demonstrate these
facts.
Restricted production and advanced
prices are the essential stock in trade
of these corporations. And the public
will, in the end, get the worst of it.
And there will be much more of this.
