The heavy thunder, lightning and
hail storm which passed over this
section about $50 o'clock last Sat-
urday evening, had its center over
St. Paul and Minneapolis, and in
addition to several people being
killed in those two cities. and also
seven at Waconia and St. Louis
Park, and large number of people
being injured, property to the ex-
tent of two millions of dollars was
destroyed in ST. Paul and Minneap-
oils and other towns in the path of
the cyclone. The wholesale houses
of ST. Paul were badly damaged,
while the tall buildings in both
towns were more or less injured,
while the park systems were so
badly damaged that it will take
years to repair the loss. Two
hundred feet of the Smith avenue
bridge in st. Paul was whirled
down over the Omaha trestle works.

THE STANDARD OIL SYSTEM

In the third article on Frenzied
Finance, published in the September
Everybody's, Thomas w. Lawson
continues his confessions, and they
are more sensational, particularly
as to the dealings of the Rockefel-
lers and of Rogers, than any of the
preceding articles. Giving more
history of Standard Oils manipula-
ton of Amalgamated Copper, and
touching upon the dishonesty of the
ring-leaders, he says:
IT shall go further and say that
there exists to-day uncontrolled in the
hands of set of men a power to make
dollars from nothing"
Mr.. Lawson then tells how this
ring of fnanciers make their dollars
from nothing, by using the money
of other people deposited in their
banks, or by inducing people who
have money deposited in them to
buy their inflated stock at high
prices, and then when certain
quantity of it is sold to force the
people to sell back to them at ridic-
ulously low prices, and then con-
tinue the work of unloading and re-
selling. In this vicious work the
Rockefellers and Henry H. Rogers
have the National City bank of New
York, one of the wealthiest institu-
tions of its kind in that city, the
New York Life Insurance Co. and
the National Shawmut bank of Bos-
ton, to act as their traps for secur-
ing funds, depositors, and the names
OF depositors on which they prey.
The bank first named is the princi-
pal agency. 1t is owned by these
three ring-leaders. And when the
latter three, with Mr.. Lawson,
made the Amalgamated Copper rob-
berry, they first extorted from the
owners of the mines which they
purchased for 500, 100000, a prom
Use that the money was to be left in

D. Benson OF Renville, represent
ing the Way-J ohnson-Lee Grain
Commission Co. of Minneapolis, was
in the city last Friday calling on
old friends, among them former po-
litical associates. Mr.. Benson was
a representative from his section in
the legislatures of 1873, 1874, 1875,
and 1877, and is again in the field
as Representative in his county.
In 1875 he was one of the friends
who SO Loyalty stood by Cushman
K. Davis in his fight against rail
road domination, and to elect Mr..
Davis United States senator. The
experience of Mr.. Benson in past
sessions will make him a power in
the 1905 session, if he IS elected,
and the Republican voters Of Rem
vile county will probably take that
view OF the situation.

Hon. A. G. Mccoy was one of the
sturdy farmer members of the last
house of representatives, hailing
from Olmstead county. Belonging
to that class in a house where there
were so many lawyers, other pro-
fessional and business men. Mr..
Mccoy, with his farmer associates,
was ever on the alert for legislation
tending to effect farming interests.
On other matters of interest to the
state, such as taxation, appropria-
tions, etc., he displayed remarkable
insight into legislation and his
vote was always where his constit-
uents would have placed it.

collateral which the $39, 600, 900 was
used in purchasing. In other words
the bank was getting interest on
two amounts, neither of which was
to leave the bank until the robbery
of the public was consummated, and
then only one amount was to be
checked out by the original mine
owners. The robbery OF the people
brought back $75, ,OOO,OOO into the
bank, s36,OOO,OOO of which was
plundered from the public.
Mr.. Lawson describes the scene
OF the meeting of these three men
the Rockefellers and Mr.. Rogers,
with their clerks, Office boys and
lawyers, the latter contingent being
always used in the formation of the
company to carry on the plundering
the screen behind which the
crafty plunderers hid-and then on
the departure of the contingent

"Yes, Harry, but don't forget James
and the others share will shrink it up
quite bit.n
Mr.. Lawson, in remarking on this
amount for one days labor, recalls
to our memory that Alaska cost US
but fourteen million dollars and
Spain relinquishes to usher claim in
the Philippines for twenty millions
of dollars. With such a greed when
will this triumvirate become the
actual owners of the country? He
continues:
IA thousand times have I tried to
figure out in my mind what worlds of
misery such sum of millions mis hit
allay if issued by a government and
intelligently distributed among the
people-and do my readers know that
never in the worlds recorded history
has any nation felt itself rich enough
to devote thirty-six millions to the
cause of charity-even in the midst of
the most awful calamities of fire, flood,
war or pestilence? On the other hand,
/ have had to know about the horrors,
the misfortunes, the earthly hell,
which were the awful consequences of
the taking of this vast amount.
have had to know about the convicts,
the suicides, the broken hearts, the
starvation and wretchedness, the
ruined bodies and the lost souls which
strewed the fields of the 'system's' har-
vest.
"Can it be that a just God suffers
our sons and daughters to exc out a
bare existence as the best reward of
earnest effort and sterling worth, and
at the same time rewards these other
men with $36, ,OOO, 900 for one days
labor.
''Pondering all these things have
ceased to wonder at the deep murmurs
of discomfort that are rising, rising to
my ears from all parts of the conti-
nent."

Ing his Administration by his reply 10
Washingtons questions. He did not
think the President should entertain al
all. but rather that his Secretary OF
State should entertain for him, the
President attending in his private ca
pacity. That he should attach cham
berlains and masters OF ceremony TO the
residential staff That he should call
formally only upon visiting sovereigns,
but be free to make informal calls on
his friends.
The suggestions of Alexander Hamll-
ton. which were adopted, came nearer
those in vogue today. In fact it is quite
remarkable how nearly they coincide
His plan was that the President give a
half-hour levee once each week; that
he return no calls; that he accept no
invitations, but entertain formally. Sena-
tors might see the President on public
business; but Hamilton would restrict
the Presidents intercourse with Con-
gress to members of the Senate. and
with the Diplomatic Corps to ambassa-
doris.
The Washington Regime.
Martha Washington was very pref
stout. and though she is represented as
beauty in her pictures. contemporary
report has it that she was a plain, ro-
bust woman. who looked older than her
husband. Nor was she noted for her
intellectual qualities; she could not
spell. and doubtless never read a book

calls punctually on the third day. In
doing so she was always accompanied
by the Presidents secretary. and pre-
ceded by a footman i'm livery, who
knocked at the hostess door and an
nounced Mrs. Washington. All her
drives were stately events. as there was
numerous retinue Of slaves in bright
livery.
On every Friday evening Mrs Wash
ington held what was then called
drawing ROOM" which assembled very
early. Mrs. Washington remained seat
ed, the guests were arranged in a circle,
and around the circle moved the Pres
ident, exchanging a few words with
everyone. Dress was an important
matter for these drawing-rooms, and
a recognized social status or a proper
introduction alone would admit 20 them.
At 10 O'Clock Mrs. Washington rose,
which was the signal for the breaking
up OF the company. Should any tarry,
she had no hesitancy in telling them
that the general always retired at 1890.
