Now with the Kansas Legislature
after the oil monopoly and an inquiry
started by congress, it is regarded as
entirely possible that the great oil
monopoly may be cut loose from its
grip at one place. And if beginning
is ever made there Will be great
things doing in the immediate future.
The American people have thorough
ly become aroused over the situation,
and if it is possible they will bring it
to an end.
The Hutchinson (Kan.) Gazette
apprises the Tribune Of the death OF
Mrs. John Eden, which occurred at
that place Feb. 9Th. Mrs. Eden lived
in Mineral Point for many years,
leaving here in 1896 with her hus-
band and family for TaTkio, Mo, ana
from there they moved to the place
of her death, Hers was pure chris
tian character, such as endeared her
to all who knew her. She was IN
her 55th year. Sher leaves hus-
band and four children al well
known and respected here.
There has been great deal SAID
and written concerning the Deet
growing industry in Wisconsin ana
two beet sugar factories have already
been established in this state at a
great outlay Of money, one at james
VILE and one at Menominee Falls.
The erection Of several other plants
have also been under consideration
by capitalists. 1t now appears now
ever that beet growers association
has been formed and they have sew
eral other conditions that the sugar
manufacturers say they cannot grant
and the outlook is that no more
plants will be erected in this state
and those now built will probably not
run great while. The country Is be-
oming 50 full of associations and
combines that business enterprises
are becoming very uncertain in their
results and men with capital are
growing cautious in their invest
ments.

these conditions, with fighting going

almost impossible to extinguish the
fires. Oil men declare they do not hold
the workmen responsible and that the

by the working mems movement, which
is economic and political, but that
their causes are deep rooted in the
long continued general disorder which
has reigned in the region, owing solely

verdict against Mr.. Walsh, if they
thought him innocent.
Walsh's attorneys would not state
what their next move would be. but
said it would be some time before the

would plan to prevent the jury from

Wash asked leave to file summons
and complaint against the coroner and

piled that it had not the power to grant

Most of the arguments of the parties
by the attorneys for Walsh was on the
fact that Titus appeared before the

of defending himself was that Titus
