WaEner's Shorn Locks.

Wagner, the composer, at one time
became afflicted with headaches and
determined to have his hair cut. He
accordingly arranged with L barber to
perform the operation on certain day.
That worthy resolved to make q good
thing of it and informed all his Gus
toners Of Wagner's impending sacri-
fee. Most Of them paid him a certain
sum down in advance to make sure Of
lock Of the great musicians hair. To
the BARRIERS horror Nine. Wagner SUI
perintended the cutting and when it
was over appropriated the whole Of
the coveted locks. The barber. in de-
spair, confessed that he had sold them
many times over, whereupon madam
suggested that her butcher had hair
very much like Wagner's. And the
story goes that that night half Dres-
den slept with the butchers hair un-
der it's pillow.

Historic Relic.

The Chesapeake, famous for her en-
counter with the British ship Shan
non in the war Of 1872, is still in ex-
istence. When she was captured by
the British she was taken to England
by her captor, Sir Philip Broke, and
some years later her timbers were
sold. The purchaser was miller in
Wiskham, and when he pulled down
his old mill he built new one from
the timbers Of the Chesapeake. Many
Of these timbers still have the marks
Of the Shannon's grapeshot, and In
some places the shots are still to be
seen deeply imbedded in the pitch pine.
If the builder who made this ship
knew that its timbers were being used
in a mill which is making money for
subject Of Great Britain there is no
doubt that he would at least try to rise
from his grave to right the wrong.

scheme with too much wind in it.
From the view point of good Judg-
ment, the Peru refinery with the very
best results that can be hoped for it,
would not amount to as much as E
nibble at the Standard oil monopoly.
What the Chanute oil producers can
see in it is beyond our vision.
There would be some sense in a
state refinery large enough to furnish
a market for all the Kansas product;
large enough to hold the Standard
level on prices; large enough to COM
pei the Standard to compete in the
market for the crude. Then suppose
the Standard should shake Kansas and
quit buying Kansas oil. A political
shake up would be sure to follow
Kansas politics would smell louder of
coal oil than it ever has of graft or

cheaper oil, free oil perhaps. They
would argue that they had put up the
money in the business and were re-
ceiving precious small benefits. Their
argument would be that their bene-
fits consisted of few cents on the
gallon for the little oil they used, while
the producers were making q large
profit on the crude. If the state made
anything it would have to make it in
cutting the price of the crude. This

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
What Kansas Papers Are Saying
About Refinery.

W. 7. Morgan, in Hutchinson News:
The question that is exciting the great
est interest is that of oil legislation.
Everybody knows that the Standard
Oil company has practically ruined the
oil industry in southeast Kansas. With
in the year prices of crude oil have
been cut in two. The Standard Oil
company is the only buyer and fixes
prices to suit it's own desires. The only
independent refinery, one al Humboldt,
has been practically put out of business
by an advance in freight rates. The
Standard stands with the club of mon
opOly ready to swat any competitor,
and it has the help of the railroads, not
because the traffic managers want to
do it, but because the Rockefeller in
terests are the power behind the throne
in Wall street. This is the illegitimate
trust which Roosevelt is fighting and it
is up to the legislature of the state of
Kansas to do its part. The question is
one that is closely connected with
freight rates and is one of such i'm
portance that the state of Kansas may
have to follow the example of Roose-
welt and use 1.-The big stick" You can't
fight trust like the Standard Oil with
resolutions and whereases. While there
is no oil yet discovered at Hutchinson,
1 believe it will be my duty as repre-
sentative to vote for the strongest and
most radical legislation that is cOnsti-
tutionaI and legal. It is a fight in
which I see no advantage in being nice
The Standard OIL has the biggest and
most expensive lobby in Topeka that
it has ever been my pleasure to see in
the few years I have been around the
capital during legislatures The old
stockyards lobby, and the school book
lobby were nothing compared to the
force which Mr.. OBrien, the Standard
Oil representative, has called in. Many
of these lobbyists are good men, strong
lawyers who are working for client
that pays them we'll, especially if they
are influential politically Some of the
Standard Oil friends are good conserVa-
tive men who don't want to see the
state go too far" They say this anti
trust talk is Populistic and that pro
posed legislation is socialistic the
people of Reno county know well
enough that 1 am not u Populist or
a socialist, but can't be scared on by
somebody yelling Populisnl, or
Rats" or anything else. And anyway
if the Populists have in the past adVo-
Gated good measures, I don't propose 10
run away from them on that account;
This Standard Oil lobby viii nave all
kinds of influence brought to bear On
the legislature, some honest and TAR,
others ilIegitimate and wrong they
will have lots of objections, some true
and to be considered, others techhlcdl
