The newspaper talk about what
Minister Conger will or will not d.
relative to the gubernatorial nomination
is decidedly Irrelevant. Those who
are seeking information on the subject
had better spend their time try ny to
divine the intention of the republican
machine. MIR. Conger owes his present
position to the machine, AMI it the
machine finds it necessary, i'll order to
defeat Mr.. Cummings, to use Mr.. Con
ger as its candidate for governor it will
do 80, and Mr.. Conger will obey orders
or forthwith become private citiz-n.
II is not at all probable that Mr.. Con
ger wishes just at presen; to become q
statesman out of a job, and for that
reason it is quite safe to say that as
soon as the desires of tho machine i,e-
come known it will DO easy to tell what
Mr.. Conger will do. 1t is a fight bs.
tween the rank and file of the ropubli.
can party and the machine, and like
the fight between tae bears we don't
care which wins.

In settlement of a $4,000 damag.

In settlement of a $4,000 damage
suit at Sioux City, G. o. Coad of Hull,
Iowa, an extensive wholesale dealer in
oils, virtually won victory over the
Standard OIL company and its effort to
freeze him out. His suit named
among other defendants the Great
Western and the Chicago, Milwaukee s.
st. Paul railway. charging them with
conspiracy in injuring his business.
1t was alleged that the railways con-
spired with the Standard company to
delay oils shipped to the Independent
dealer, cars of oil being allowed to
stand on side tracks needlessly long
while enroute and thereby seriously in
juring Coad's business. The settlement
of the railway company was on liber-
al basis and in every way satisfactory
to Coad.

The trusts are rapidly changing in
dustrial conditions in this country, and
unless the policy of the combination,
now SO rampant, is checked it will not
be long until humanity is face to face
with an industrial despotism the like
of which has never before existed in
the history of the world. Not alone
will the veal or woe Of nearly every
citizen be subject to the desires of the
commercial despot, buthe will be able to
paralize the arm of government in
times of peace as we'll as in hours OF

Remarkable Electric Power Test.

ANOAA1lAuOAS AlhSSSAAN l OWCA ACot.
The following special dispatch from
San Francisco, appeared III last Mon
days Record Herald:
The longest transmission of electric
power in the world Was tested yester-
day in Oakland, when street cars were
run by power generated on the Yuba
River, 140 miles distant. The cable, 14O
miles in length, is six-tenths of an inch
in diameter, aud is Of copper, with an
aluminium alloy, which, it is thought,
will prevent oxidation 1t is this cable
that is suspended across the Carquinz
Valley by span of 400 feet and 300
feet in the air.
The test is considered one OF the most
successful In the history of electricity, a
current of 10000 volts having been
transmitted the entire distance with q
loss not to exceed . per cent. Under
that showing experts said that the volt
age could be increased until there would
be practically no loss. The current
used to-day WAS an alternating current,
transmitted through a motor at the
Temescal power station, as a voltage of
10000 was greatly in excess of the
power needed.
On Monday power will be transmit
ted over the Standard Company's lines
to San Jose, q distance of 1870 miles
from the generating plant.

The fishermen who are angling
after clubs and bulheads just now oc-
casionally hook few crappies. 1t
should be understood that the catching
of crappies, as well as bass, is prohibit
ed until the open season May 18TH, and
there is pretty stiff penalty attached
to a violation of the law. This is the
spawning season with these fish and
they should be protected as the law
contemplates. There is likely to be in
formation filed unless fishermen are
cautious. -Hopkinton Leader.

At this distance 1t is. difficult to
understand why the newspapers OF

of the nation have thus far proved in
sufficient to capture Boer leader in

worse to say that the United Kingdom

pearance Of the petition for divorce
and other papers in the case from the
court at Algona. Despite efforts that

however, understood here upon req

amount was 100000.
