KNOCKS STANDARD OIL co,
Attorney General Philo Hall Wins
Another Victory

The Standard Oil Company recently
shipped into this state 20O0 gallons of
oil in tanks and 2000 gallons in barrels
which, upon being tested by the state
OIL inspector, were rejected because the
oil contained an over percentage of
residue. The oil company brought
suit against the state to have the state
law set aside, in other words they at
tempted to prove that this state had
no right to interfere with their busi-
ness so long as the oil shipped in was
safe as burning fluid.
The case was tried before Judge Car
land in the L. 5. District court at
Sioux Falls last week, httorney-Gen-
eral Philo Hall appearing on behalf of
the state. The Standard Oil Co. be-
ing represented by four able attorneys.
On Monday Mr.. Hall received Judge
Carland's decision which sets aside
the restraining clause and discharges
the order to show cause, that is the
presiding Judge intimates that he has
good reason to believe that the COM
pany proposed shipping this oil into
the state for the sole purpose of max
ing test case and had they secured a
decision granting the injunction the
state would have been without any oil
law while the temporary injunction
was in force.

NARROW ESCAPE
B. F. Buckingham Thrown From
His Wagon.

On Friday Mr.. B. F. Buckingham
who resides Just east of this city, and
whose land is divided by the North
Western R'y loaded some seed oats
into his single wagon and started to
cross the track where portion of the
farm lays for the purpose Of having
the seed planted. The crossing is
almost impossible and in some way
the wagon tipped over throwing Mr..
Buckingham out and rendering him
unconscious for several hours. The
horse ran away and finally fell in
such position that the animal would
have died had not a neighbOr seen the
accident. 1t was some hours before
Mr.. Buckingham returned to con-
SciOusness.
This is said to be the crossing which
has caused considerable trouble and
the farmers have endeavored to have
the board of commissioners take steps
to provide a safe crossing. Perhaps
this accident will spur the authorities
to action, which for some reason the
railway company has been discourage
ing.

Get Ready for Visitors

The Grand Lodge Of the Ancient
Order of United Workmen will meet
in Brookings next week and the citi-
zens should, each and every one Of
them, take pride in showing to the
600 or 1000 strangers that may be in
the city for two or three days, what a
neat, clean, tidy, up-to-date city we
have. The streets should be cleaned
and cleared, lawns raked and rubbish
hauled away or burned. Great inter
est throughout the state centers in
Brookings on account of her socialistic
tendencies as shown by her refusal to
grant franchises to corporations and
her ownership and operation of public
enterprises. Officials and employees
should be ready to courteously reply
to all questions of strangers regarding
our water-works, electric lights, tele-
phone and heating plants. The
Ancient Order of United Workmen
has, within its ranks, many of the
most enterprising and leading citizens
of this commonwealth and a united
effort to show the cleanliness and
healthfulness of our city and the sue
cess of municipal ownership and oper-
alton OF the city's enterprises will go
farther to advertise our city and county
than anything that may occur within
the year unless it be another similar
occasion. All rememember that "our
Mat" says ''Brookings is the only
city and Brookings county the only
county in the state" xxx

GALL SHOT TO PIECESn
Charles "Friendly" Allen Thought
He Was Running for Attorney
General But He Wasn't.

Considerable interest centered in
the Republican primaries held in this
city last Thursday evening by reason
of the fact that Postmaster Allen,
Editor Allen, Ex-President Allen, and
Would-Be-Boss Allen formed a COM
bination and put ticket in the field
in opposition to Hon. Philo Hall who
was a candidate for denomination for
Attorney General of South Dakota.
That it was the desire Of the Repub-
liCans of this city to give Mr.. Hall
the delegation is shown by the over
whelming rebuke given the "com-
bination." That the above cOmbin-
alton of Aliens received any votes in
the city at all is due to the fact that
the combine" resorted to its usual
methods of misrepresentation and
subteriuge. If 81 votes in the entire
city was a sufficient reward for MAX
ing the fight against Mr.. Hall the
combine" is welcome to all the con-
ISOLATION they can get out Of it.
The following delegates were elected
to represent Mr.. Hall in the county
convention:
First Ward-F. NJ. Kremer, +. G..

Spring plowing has been backward
on account Of frost remaining near the
surface, but the warm days have
changed the outlook. One party calls
attention to the fact that five years ago
we had just such a spring and the
crops never were better than those
