rREpoFF FEAREp ANo AAI.-
Many Attempts Made TO XIII Dictator
of ST. PETERSBURG,

" o. TStctehbiSf
There is no other man in all Rus
STA whom the revolutionary party hate
with quite the same intensity as they
hate Gen. Trepoff, the newly appoint
ed dictator of St. Petersburg. and they
fear him even more than they hate
him. says an English writer. For
years past he has been, in their eyes,
the veriest personificaton o. every
thing that is dangerous, everything
that is evil--a sort Of tiger and ser
pent combined. There is nothing
they would not do to rid themselves
of him; they have tried to kill him,
not once. but times without number
three times in the course of single
fortnight. So often. indeed, have they
tried and failed that strange legends
have sprung up around him, the super
stitious gravely arguing there must be
something uncanny about him that
renders him imperyious alike to steel,
powder and dynamite.
1T was while acting as chief Of the
Moscow police that Gen. Trepoff first
showed that he could think as well as
shoot. When the city was placed un-
der his care disorder was rife; an
archy was being preached almost
openly and students and workers alike
seemed to have no thought beyond
parading the streets with red flags.
Trepoff set to work. CHASTITY scenes
ensued, Of course. How many men
were slain in those days and how
many more disappeared-to reaDpear
later in Siberia-will probably never
be known. The end of it was that or
der reigned in Moscow Then he sud
denly changed his tactics. He sum
moned the leaders of the rioters and
told them frankly that they had been
acting like fools, allowing themselves
to be used as a cat's-paw by reyolu-
tionaries who were much more in
sympathy with their masters than
with them and would never raise a
finger to better their condition. He
told them, too, that the enemy they
had to fear was not the government,
but the capitalists, their employers;
and he pledged his word to them that,
if they would remain quiet and order
ly, he, acting on behalf of the czar,
would protect them against their en-
emy. He allowed them to form them
selves into unions and even meet to-
gether every Saturday to talk over
their own affairs.
'At first he scored brilliantly. The
Moscow workers threw over both
their student friends and their revolu-
tionary wire-pullers and ranged them
selves on the side of the government
as devoted subjects of the czar. The
general in return started regular
campaign against the capitalists.
This brought every capitalist in the
empire into the field against him.
From st. Petersburg he was ordered
to have done coquetting with labor
Against Trepoff's will the labor unions
were ordered dissolved and their meet
irgs prohibited This practically un-
did all of Trepoff's work by shaking
the mems faith in the czars power to
help them"

Defends Alaskan Indian.

Gov Brady Of Alaska protests
against talk Of the "yile, dirty Esh-

remarks are in ignorance. Il don't

divisions Of the frigid zone, but do
know that the Alaskan Indian is as
fine type Of his class as can be
found anywhere. Take them as a
whole, they are sober and industrious,
make homes and adopt civilization
readily. They are truthful, honest

power in Wall street speculation. Its
methods have been sharply criticised.
The panic of May 9, 1901, was openly
laid at its door. The Northern Pa,
cifc deal, out of which that panic
grew, was a titanic affair. 1t was a
contest between the mightiest fnan-
cial interests in the United States. A
more recent episode in the career OF
the City bank was the Munroe & Nun.
roe affair. The failure Of this concern
brought to light the fact that the
largest bank in the United States was
as willing to aid in floating Montreal
& Boston mining stock on a credulous
public as to engage in great railroad
deals involving hundreds Of millions
of capital.
Nor is this all. 1t was Standard
Oil money that started the Amalga-
mated Copper company Boston peo-
pie have not forgotten that enterprise
They recall the methods employed to
buy control of the great Boston &
Montana company for a song. They
remember, too, how the price Of Am4l
gamated copper stock was doomed to
about 130, just prior to a dividend re-
duction, in order that the insiders
might unload on the public. And the
part played by the City bank in pro-
noting the Amalgamated company is
also fresh in mind, The profit to the
Standard Oil coterie from promoting
and manipulating this enterprise will
never be known; but it is almost in
calculable.
Meanwhile, the oil monopoly has
been growing more and more com
plete AS it has progressed in other
directions, the Standard OIL clique has
increased its means of sitting compe-
tition in the manufacture and distri-
button of oil. 1t was by railroad re-
bates that it got its first real start;
and now it is itself a mighty power in
the management of the railroads OF
the United States.
But last week the mandate went
forth for it to be investigated. A res
olution to this end was rushed
through the national House, and the
President has been prompt to act upon
IT, Commissioner Garfield of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor has
been told to institute proceedings, and
to see that they are thorough. The
specific task, in compliance with the
congressional resolution, is that of in
vestigating the cause of the low price
Of crude oil, and of the unusually
large margins between the crude anc
refined products. The aim is to find
cut how much the present situation is
the result of combination or conspir
acy in restraint Of trade.
In short, an effort is to be made tt
find out everything possible regarding
the Standard Oil company specifcal-
ly If the Commissioner of Corpora
tions is as successful in this instance
as he was in the case of the beef
trust, he is likely to produce results
that will startle the country. He is
also, it is said, going to look into the
doings of the STANDARD Oil crowd"
An adequate report on the Standard
Oil company may enable us to obtain
cheaper oil. But a real knowledge OF
the STANDARD Oil crowd" will be Of
immense value in conserving the en-
tire financial interests of the people
of the United States, now and here
after. Boston Post

PRICE ON RUsTiERs' HEADS.
New Methods of Routing cattl,
Thieves Is Applied.

Angered by the continued theft OF
cattle and horses, the ranchmen resid-
ing in Stanley county have adopted
new method of tracing the "rustlers"
SO they may be brought to justice.
In the past it has been customary
for cattle and horse raisers, when
their herds have been raided, to offer
minimum rewards for the detection
OF the thieves and recovery of the
stolen animals. These rewards have
not been large enough to tempt weak
kneed members of the gang of thieves
to betray their pals, and the result has
been that the thefts have continued
1t is conservatively estimated that dur
ing the last year a sufficient number
of horses alone to mount small
army have been stolen from the ranch.
men living in this and other parts of
Stanley county.
Under the leadership of A. J. Hauge,
one Of the most prominent ranchmen
in the county, a new method is now to
be adopted, which it is hoped will have
good results. Recently Mr. Hauge had
three head of horses stolen, and in
stead of Offering the customary paltry
reward of $25 or $50 for information
which would lead to the recovery of
the animals and detection of the
thieves, he has offered a reward of
$500 for the arrest and conviction of
the person or persons who stole the
horses.
1t is believed that the Offering of
reward of this size will encourage
some Of the ''rustlers" to give way
their pals, and that by this means
horse and cattle "rustling" in Stanley
county will become a thing Of the
st, as in Lyman county, where Wig
orous and persistent crusade against
the thieves has reduced thefts to the
minimum.
The legitimate cattle and horse
raisers will endeavor also to discour-
age the practice of some of the ranch
men who when called upon have not
hesitated to furnish bonds for those
who are arrested on the charge of
stealing horses and cattle.

Horrible Accident at Humboldt, S. D.
Contractors in Bankruptcy.
Miss May Burning of Humboldt.
Minnehaha county, met a horrible
death as the result Of her clothing
catching fire while getting the family
meal. She dashed for the outside Of
the house in wild endeavor to extin-
guish the flames. Before she could be
stopped and the fire extinguished she
made three circuits of the building.
The filing of a petition in voluntary
bankruptcy by Frank D. Mills and
Guy c. Mills of Sioux Falls, who have
carried on building contracting bust
ness under the firm name of F. d.
Mills & Son, has created something
of sensation. They place their liza.
bilities at $1S,453.06 and their assets
at $1,000.
Among their largest creditors are
the Sioux Falls National bank, in the
sum of s3,66O, and Symms-Powers
company of Sioux Falls. in the sum
Of $500.
Last spring the senior member OF
the firm disappeared in Kansas City
under circumstances which indicated
he had been murdered, and for several
weeks the police of that city carried
on an investigation in vain attempt
to unrayel the mystery. After some
weeks he was located at Portland, Or,
and finally returned to his home in
this city.

BUILD TO RAPID CITY.
Northwestern G. Missouri Line Be-

northwestern O. Missouri Line Be-
lieved to Be Trunk Branch.
Prof. McLaurey of the state school
of mines has returned to Rapid City
from Chicago with information con-
corning the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul railroad Of great interest to all
jewellers there.
The belief now is prevalent that this
road intends to make Rapid City it's
terminal point, and that work with
that end in view will be pushed rapid
ly. The recent survey Of eighty acres
of land adjacent to the city would
show that this ground was at least
under consideration as terminal sta
ton.
1t now is believed that it is the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul road
which is building the extension known
as The Northwestern & Missouri road
from this city to Mystic. One fact
which points in that direction is the
fact that the light rails with which sew
eral miles of this road already were
equipped have been taken up and
heavy rails, suitable to trunk line,
have been put down in their stead.
Were this road werely to serve the
purpose of connecting link between
Rapid and Mystic, the other rails
lieved also that the st. Paul will run
only spur to Deadwood, which It will
reach from Pactola.

NATURAL GAS.
Found Within Thirty Miles of Sioux
Falls.

Found Within Thirty Miles of Sioux
Falls.
Some twelve or fifteen years ago a
now OF natural gas was discovered on
a farm eight miles west of Marion
junction. At that time, for some un-
known reason, the report of the dis.
ccTery was silenced and was thought
by many to have been one of those
boom agitations.
During the past few weeks there
have been reports of the finding of
natural gas in large quantities in the
Silver lake region of Turner and
Hutchinson counties, and while it has
been rumored that numerous stran-
gers have recently visited and investi-
gated that region, but few thought of
taking the matter seriously until last
week
Secretary of State D. D. Wipf, a resi-
dent of Hutchinson county, and num-
Der of Pierre people came to Dolton
last Friday and after giving the matter
careful investigation concluded that
there is natural gas in that vicinity
and that it's development is possible
In fact it is assured by specialists that
it can be secured without any very
great expenditure of money.
A number of capitalists, headed by
Mr. Wipf, after making the prelimi-
nary arrangements with the land own
ers, organized company and have in
corporated unler the laws of South
Dakota, with the intention of imme-
diately sinking and securing appar-
atus.
The company intends to have sup
ply of the gas ready for commercial
use during the next thirty days and
soon as possible it will be piped to the
adjacent towns, where it may be Sc
cured very cheaply for lighting and
heating purposes.
Since a number of able men have
taken hold of the enterprise, it is GER
tainly genuine aud its success is as
sured, which will materially aid the
people of this section.

Head of Police Department.
Chicago, Sept. II. Gambling in
Chicago is nearer extinction than it
has been in many years. Public gam
bling in the city limits is dead. This
is the declaration of the police, and
the assertion seems to he borne out by
the scattering and disappearance Of
the men who promote and give their
time to the profession. The para
phernalia scattered and seized, men,
bers of the fraternity are said to have
made one last desperate stand which
promises violence to the chief of po-
lice and members of his family If the
gambling crusade continues This
takes the form of an anonymous let
ter sent to the officer and officers
house, which threaten dynamiting Of
his home or violence to himself or
family. Chief Collins was at first in
clined to denounce these warnings as
nonsense but fearing for the safety
OF his family, he yesterday stationed
a guard near his residence.
