STANDARD OIL CASE.
Company Rosents Action of State
/ Rejecting Alleged Inferior Grades.

Il Rejecting alleged INFERIOR 1radeS.
i Sioux Falls, s. d.. Sept. A.-While III
4 Chicago a day or two ago Frank ]
4 Adams, private secretary to Judge Car
Hand, Of the United States court in thia
lefty, was Informed by the western at
.ltorneys of the Standard Oil company
4 that the company would probably bq
4 ready to commence the taking OF testi
,mony next week In the case of the
company against the state of South
I Dakota. The object Of the suit is to
test the validity Of an oil insoection
law enacted by the legislature of South
Dakota at It's last session.
Some time ago the Standard Oil
company was unsuccessful in It's ap-
plication before the United States court
In this city for an injunction restrain-
ling the state oil inspector from re-
tjecting large shipment of oil which
was alleged by the state authorities
4 TO be of an inferior quality.
I, 1t Is alleged the OIL was shipped in
Ito South Dakota for the express pur-
pose of making a test of the consti-
nationality of the state oil inspection
law. The injunction asked for by the
company was refused by Judge Car
Hand. The company then instituted the
suit which is now pending.
Judge Garland recently appointed
special examiners to take testimony in
the case. Mr.. Adams will take testi-
lmony In the case in Illinois and South
Dakota. j. Alton Brooks was ap-
pointed special examiner to take
testimony in the state of New York,
and II. Daughery in Ohio. Testimony
Twill thus be taken In four states, but
most of 1t will be in Illinois and South
Dakota.
All the testimony must be submitted
ITO Judge Garland by November next.
The suit will be one of the most i'm
iportant ever tried In South Dakota
and may be quite prolonged, as sim
liar action instituted by the Standard
ion company to break down the oil
laws of Indiana was not finally dis
posed OF until seven years after Its
commencement 1t

the low estimate of Japanese financial

Horse Creek Has Coal.

The high price charged for coal
this winter as result OF the strike
has been a great hardship on the
consumers, But it may prove TO
be blessing in disSuise for this
particular locality
The Fact leaked out this week
that for several weeks past parties
living along Horse creek have
been quietly doing some prospect
ing, having discovered indications
that led them TO believe there is
coal to be found at a shallow
depth. The drilling of two-inch
hole revealed that they were on
the right track, a vein of good
hard coal being struck at a depth
OF seventeen feet. The prospect
ing is being carried on by Chas.
E. Forshner, 1. F. Garrison and
Morris Sprahl, the latter coal
miner with almost life's exper-
ience.
These gentlemen will form
company and sink a shaft as soon
as they determine the proper To-
cation for commencing. The
vein is on the west side of Horse
creek about four miles north of
Holly.

There is certainly too little at.
tention paid to the dairy business
IN this country. 1t is true that
the the small towns afford no mar.
ket for butter, but if eight or ten
COWS are kept it will pay to get a
hand separator and ship the cream
to the nearest creamery where a
ready market at a good price can
be found every day Of the year.
By taking hold of this matter
in a business way the farmer
would soon find that the amount
received each day, even though it
seems small, will pay the grocery
bill and obviate the necessity OF
asking the merchants to carry you
till your crop is harvested.
The COW brings in the cash at Il
time of year when there is nc
money coming from any other
source. Where farmer grows
alfalfa and sugar beets it looks as
if half the profits are lost unless a
bunch of milch COWS is kept on
the plsce.

TALKS WITHOUT TONGUE.
Robbed Of Organ by Surgical Opera
ton, New Jersey Man Articulates
Better Than Before.

Tongueless, yet able to talk better
than when in possession of his organ
of speech-that is the remarkable con"
dition of William Bunting, a wealthy
bachelor of Elmer, N. j., who received
treatment recently in Philadelphia.
Mr., Bunting came to the Hahnemann
hospital to have his throat treated for
what he believed to be Inflammation,
caused by a severe cold. Upon investi-
CATION the doctors found the disease to
be much more serious than the patient
had suspected, and that in order to
save his life his tongue must be re-
moved. 1t was swollen to twice its
normal size, so that Mr.. Bunting was
unable to articulate plainly.
After the operation the first words
the patient spoke, rs it all over?''
were the plainest he had spoken since
his trouble began, several years ago.
Those in attendance were able to IN
derstand everything he said.
