paper, Joseph N. Ward, one of the
pioneer settlers of Barton county,
passed away Tuesday evening, at the
home of his son Henry L. Ward, in
South Bend, little past SO years of
age. While of late years not much
was seen of Mr.. Ward, because since
the death of his wife he has been
making his home with his children at
various points. still he was at one
time well known to nearly every one
in the east end of the county. He had
been resident of the county since
1874, first locating on a homestead
which now forms part of the city OF
Clafin. He had large family, nearly
all of whom have left this county, ex.

copy of the. Statement sent to Con-
gresham Campbell by Messrs Con
nelly and Rawling, representing the
Advisory committee of the Kansas
oil producers association: was re

this statement caused : President
Roosevelt's order this morning. Six
specific charges are made against the
Standard, and list. .of witnesses given
and records furnished,i pointing out
where proof of the charges it is be-
heved can be procured. The general
charge is that the Standard is guilty
of discrimination, in violation of the
interstate commerce law.
The first specific charge is, that the
Standard endeavored to secure a
monopoly of the field and is in COM
pact with the Santa Fe railway to
Epeevent outsiders from1 purchasing
oil in Kansas.
Second:-That the Standard is
now blacklisting Kansas for the pur-
pose of preventing legislation designed
for the producers relief.
Third:-That the railways of Kan
sas are in conspiracy with the Stand
ard Oil Co., to prevent legislation
making it possible for fair competi-
ton.
Fourth: the Standard has
undue influence with Secretary Hitch
cock.
Fifth:-That the Standard is at
tempting to destroy an independent
refinery at Humboldt.
Sixsh:-That the Standard in di-
verse ways is sitting competition and
interfering with interstate commerce.

Somebody or somebody's boys are
going to get into trouble. A visit to
the fair grounds revealed the fact that
in the agricultural building every
window light had been broken out,
and also some out of the fine arts hall.
The latter building has been entered
several times, and the doors which
close from the inside opened, and left
that way. This is reckless and un-
called for trick, and unless a stop IS
put to this kind of work, some one will
be nabbed in the act and then there
will be a bowling and gnashing of
teeth.

KANSAS HOUSE
GETS ACTION.

Topeka. Kans., Feb. 15.-The
House by vote of one hundred and
six to. nothing, before the noon ad-
journment today, passedithe Senate's
bill fixing maximum freight rate on
oil.
The measure is designed to 9give
; the producers a chance to market
their product independept of the
Standard oil company, and reduces
. the present rates about fifty per cent.
The House, by vote of ffty-seven
to fifty-four, referred to the1Judiciary
Committee, with ordersto report Mon
day, the Senate's nti-discrimination
bill. which forbids the sale-.of com
modify cheaper in one part of the
state than another, after the freight
rates areequalized. Jobbers opposed
this bill because it applied to every
corporation, not solely to. the Stand
ard, against which it is aimed. Sena-
tor F. Dumont Smith, author of the
bill, said an amendmentsEto the bill
making it applicable to oil alone
would make it illegal.
The House this afternoon will take
up the bill making pipe lines common
carriers and establishing a State oil
refinery. Speaker Stubs, theTmost
powerful opponent of the refinery
measure, this morning said it would
pass easily:
It is generally believed that the
next twenty-four hours will see the
great State of Kansas empowered by
-aw to build an oil refinery. The re-
fuery bill it is said, has eightylssvotes,
fifteen more than a constitutional
majority.
