STATE
pLuNDERERs OF ZEE PUBLIC.

The revelations OF Thomas w.
Lawson of Boston, for long years
financier of the Standard Oil Co.
and of Amalgamated Copper, OF the
workings of those two gigantic cor
porations, now being published in
Everybody S Magazine, have ten
dency to make one feel decidedly on
the populistic order. Speaking of
Amalgamated Copper he said that
it was begotten in 1898, born in
1899, and. in the first five years of
it's existence plundered the public
to the extent of over 500. O00,O 900.
Amalgamated Copper is Henry FL.
Rogers, William and John d. Rookie
Teller, the Standard Oil magnates
who engineered the gigantic rob-
berry of get-rich-quick victims. Mr..
Lawson gives the Standard Oil code
of rules laid down to it's employees:
Keep your mouth closed, as
silence is golden and gold is what
we existfor.
Never put standard Oil trades
in writing. as your memory and the
other fellows forgetfulness will al
ways be REINFORCED with our or
ganization.
"Never forget our legal depart
ment is paid by the year, and our
land is full of courts and judges.
"Never enter into a 'butting' con-
test with the government. Our
government is by the people, and
with the people and we are the peo-
pie, and those people who are not
US can be hired by US.
"Always do right; right makes
might; might makes dollars; dollars
make right and we haye the dollars. =

In the game of ball between the
Redwood and Hanley teams at Han
ley Falls last Friday Hanley won in
a red-hot game by score Of 4 to 3.
Francois allowed only two hits and
got Is strike outs. The Redwood
players got fifteen hits off the Han
ley pitcher, who only struck four
men, and still Redwood couldn t
win. Poor base running seems to.
have been the cause of the loss of
the game, after such pounding of
the ball.

money there. A person can save
more here on salary of so per

on SIS. Mrs. Arnold decided re-
naming with her mother at Salmon
until Ward re-locates, which will
probably be somewhere IN the pre-
cincts of Redwood county.

an action brought to recover $3.50
tor fire apparatus sold the village,
and the judge gives the plaintiff the
full amount sued for, together with
interest at the rate of six per cent.
from the date of sale, Dec, 10, 1898,
amounting with the principle, to
s1,OOl.25. The apparatus sold was
, 60-gallon steel tank chemical fire
engine, 100 feet Of three-quarter
inch chemical hose, two brass Ian
terms, one pick-head FIRE axe and
two extra acid jars. The village
, agreed to pay 500 in full for the
{ claim, but on making a tax levy
, discovered that it would exceed its
taxable limit and last year direct
assessment was made. With the
, coming November settlement the
800 will practically have all been
collected in, but it will now have tc
raise an extra amount, together
with interests and costs.

The British lion was roaring over
the Russian bear twisting his tail
during a portion of last week. The
Bear had seized couple of the
Lion S merchant vessels in the Red
Sea, contrary to international agree
ment, and seemingly for the pur-
pose OF dragging the Lion into the
row with Japan. The Lion S roar
was quick and effective, and the
indications are that the Bear will
have to apologize to the Lion and
also compensate the owners of the
vessels for damages and time lost.
The Bear has troubles enough of
his own in the East, without at
tempting to borrow trouble in the
west. and the attempt to entangle
the Lion in that trou BILE might re-
suit entirely different from what
the Bear anticipates.

FOND
MEMORIES
Portable River Saw Mill Arrived
Today.
The First Visit Of the Old Hickory in
Fifteen or More Years.

The OLD Hickory, a portable river
saw mill, arrived here this morning
and aroused many fond memory in
the hearts of the old river men.
The Old Hickory is q peculiarly
constructed one stack boat which is
nothing more than IA large sawmill
fitted out with only enough steamboat
machinery to propel the boat from
place to place.
The boat goes to some tract of land
where there is plenty of timber to be
had and after saving every piece up
possible to get, moves on to other
tracts and repeats the operation. Only
spoke timber is sawed aud this same
boat use to come to Paducah 90 years
ago, according to Captain Joe Fow.
Ter. This is her first appearance here
however, in about Is years. She
came in from the upper Tennessee or
Ohio river and steamed mp to the head
of Owens Island.

THE FIGURES
RECEIPTS OF CITY SCALES
FALLING OFF THIS YEAR.

Last year the city scales paid the
salary of the city weieher and Melted
the city over $500 revenue. This
year, if the threats of those who have
patronized the scales 10 worth any
thing, the city scales will be losing
investment because of falling of of
patronage.
The competency of the city weigher
and his attention to business are said
to cut An important figure in the re-
suit.
The total receipts of the scales for
January ana February, with $40. 80 of
that for January being taken in by
Mr.. Baird, shows falling of of $685.

credited belongs to the administra-

secured at a moments notice. He
will confer with other league manag-

they will be admitted on account of
their distance from the other cities.

Port Arthur's situation continue to
be serious, but the rumors Of Russia

able.
Russia is reported to be moving an
army corps from vladivostok toward

including Asian Shan, where the Jap
nnese army concluded its advance in

tion that China has ordered a vast
quantity of modern rifles. and with
