brave at the start will never be for

Des Moines, Ia, Feb. 18.-The state
has rested its case against Charles
Thomas, on trial for the murder of
Mabel Scofield FIVE years ago. Summed
up the state alleges that it has proven
that murder was committed by the
use of choral hydrate, or KNOCK OUT
droys, poison which the defendant
purchased on different occasions, one
time just prior to the discovery of the
girls body. 1t has also been proven
that Thomas was ut home and at the
place the forenoon of the day on which
the state says the body Of his Victim
was concealed prior to its final dis
pcsal in the Des Moines river.
The defense will Offset this latter
testimony, 1t is stated, by attempting
to prove that the defendant drove a
hack at funeral on the forenoon in
question, and could not have been at
the home at the time MENTIONED by the
state. -Four physicians have testified
that the body had no water in the
lungs when taken from the river, there.
by Indicating that the girl was dead
before the body was placed in the
water.

Hearst, more than any other man
in the country, has reason to rejoice
on account Of the character of his
enemies. Some years ago an in
dicted forger and fugitive from
justice worked his way into con-
gress under the assumed name Of
Johnston. OF course he naturally
sympathised with the criminal
classes, with the men who go to bed
every night in fear that before morn
ing their crimes will be exposed by
the Hearst newspaper. Johnston
made a scurrilous speech against
Hearst on the floor Of the House, and
Hearst looked up Johnston's record
and published it and that was the
end of him.
Last week another congressional
individual by the name Of Sullivan
did his stunt like Johnston, and like
Johnston he belongs to the criminal
classes. Sullivan is an ex-saloon
keeper whose name, as well as that
of his fathers, appears in the list Of
convicted murderers in the state oil
Massachusetts.

Kansas Against the Standard Oil.

The legislature of the State of
Kansas has decided to engage in
business in competition with Stand
ard Oil. 1t has already appro-
priated 100000 to build refinery
and that state will in all probability
have refined oil for sale in the near
future. Then the Rockefellers will
oblige the railways to furnish them
complete reports of all oil shipments
made by the State. From these re-
ports they will get the names of all
persons who buy State oil and the
amount of their purchases. Armed
with this information the trusts
agents can readily locate the States
customers, and they will call on
them and offer them oil for less than
cost, for nothing if necessary. The
trust will require the railways to
help crush the state and the unlaw-
full rebate will be freely worked.
Under this kind of pressure all the
fair hopes Of the State of Kansas will
be very apt to go fading off UNI
touched. untasted, to join the glor.
ious hopes of the multitude of indie
pendent operators who have been
driven out of business BY the trust
There is nothing worse on earth OF
in the internal regions than a trust
of the Rockefeller brand. Its meth.
DDS are defiance to all laws, and
the State Of Kansas will be in need
of the sympathy of its neighbors be

But its finish will be another object

County Matters.

Mr.. Cloud did not avail himself
of the free use Of the columns Of the
Democrat rendered him to answer
its criticisms Of certain acts of him
self and the board of supervisors,
but possibly got nearly as many
readers of his alleged defense, by
publishing it in three Of the prin-
cipal republican papers of the
county, as he would had he pub
lished it in the Democrat.
He says that the statement of the
Democrat, that the board loaned
money to Edgar NJ. Cross is abso-
lutely false. If we believed or had
any reason for believing that we
are mistaken, we would promptly
admit it. We have no personal
grievance against Mr.. Cloud, or of
either Of the members-past or
present-of the board Of supervisors.
In trying to have corrected some Of
the past errors Of county officials
and to prevent continuation Of
them, we have been, and are doing
only what we deem it the duty Of
the Democrat to do, supported as it
is by the tax payers Of the county.
1t is not pleasant for the Democrat
to make these criticisms. We know
that by doing SO we make enemies,
and that certainly we would gladly
avoid doing. Neither do we do it
for political reasons, as charged by
the Hopkinton Leader. We would
do the same as we have and are do
ing, if the officials were members of
the democratic or any other party.
That we are not actuated by poll
teal motives must be apparent to
any one who gives the matter a
moments thought. Were we SO
actuated, we would not at this time
have made public the abuses we are
trying to have corrected, but would
have waited until just before the
next election, which will not occur
for about twenty months, and per-
ulGGcu Glle eFlucuCe W accumulate,
instead of as we are now doing, try
ing to prevent its accumulation.
Mr.. Cloud in his alleged defense,
denies that any money was loaned
by the board to Edgar M. Cross.
To our minds his statement of the
law and facts are erroneous and mis-
leading. The statute expressly pro-
vides that the relief furnished poor
persons, outside Of the poor house,
May he either in the form Of food,
rent or clothing, fuel and lights,
medical attendance, or in money,
and shall not exceed tue dollars per
week for each person for whom relief
is thus furnished, exclusive of medi-
cal attendance. One exception to
this rule is made by statute, which
provides that 'If a poor person Of

The Standard Oil trust, like
Alexander of old, is continually in

just at present the oily octopus is
after the sovereign state of Kansas.
There are no good trusts, any more
than there are good burglars or good
horse thieves, but there are some
trusts worse than other trusts, and
the Standard Oil trust is probably
the most despicable gang Of ihhuman
grafters that ever existed in this or
any other country.
