TO MOVE REFiNERlES TO KANSAS.

A dispatch from South Bend, Ind, says the
Standard Oil Company is gradually reducing
its forces at Whiting, and ultimately will do
away with tie re6neries at that place. The
company is gradually reducing its force at
Whiting, and recently laid off I, 100 men. This
is deemed most significant. The reason given
is that the company is building huge refueries
in the Kansas oil fields, which, when conplet
cd, will be large enough to handle all the oil of
tie western fields. The company has big re6n-
cries in the eastern fields, aud it is believed by
many that the oil trust intends to have but two
Teinng centers i'll the future, and to have these
located in the oil fields proper This would do
away with the necessity of piping the crude Oil
across the continent, and would meau great
saving to the company. Many OF the old en-
ployes of the Standard Oil Company at Whit
,rg have moved to the Kansas fields to seek
employment in the refneries here.
Another reason which is given credence is
that the Interstate commerce commission IS
preparing to begin legal action against the
Standard Oil Company for shipping across the
state and wifi attack; the trust in this manner,
Should the re6neries at Whiting be aban-
doned, it will kill The town.

S. E. klsHR, IN CHICAGO RECORD HERAL1

Will Allen White says it is considered smart,
in Washingtod, to beat the government. Penn-
syvania is away ahead of the "snart" epoch,
for the boodlers are looking forward to titles or
nobility. To g-t money without earning it is
in the air Of Pennsylvania. Comnercialism is
ripe i'll Pennsy yiyania, and the frut is deadly in
effect and uauseus ia taste.
What shall we say of Colorado? Peabody
boodler before he was governor. He is
tool of corporations. The war between labor
and capital has reached an advanced stage.
The corporations want the whole state. No
bribing is needed where the legislature, the
courts and the executive are all on the same
side. The spirit of Cromwell, Washington
and John Brown is abroad in !he mines and
everlasting mountains of the state that marked
the hundredth year of our national existence
Some people i'll Colorado refuse to be owned by
corporations, and refuse to bow to boodlers, so
there is bloodshed, deportations and general
ferment of all that is worst in human nature,
and all that is best in determined resistance to
governmental wrong.
The best evidence Of life is action. Only in
the communities where we find action do we
have room to hope. Democracy is not dead,
only where there is resistance to wrong; and
possibly Democracy is only sleeping in the
communities where there is no action.

Almost every big and little newspaper in the
country, of the boodleistic complexion, have
harped about "the law OF supply and demand"
throwing dust in the eyes OF the people until
nothing short OF government exposure will mop
out the dust, and nothing short Of Gabriel's
trumpet will awake some voters
What is true of the meat combine is true of
hundred other combines, and every low, cor
rupt, thieving official was placed in office by
tie dishonest, plundering combinations which
pose as the captains of industry.
What could have been easily prevented in
the beginning is now serious matter. The

doing something, and there is great chatter
on the part OF the newspapers, but there are
Just as many combines, OF more; just as many
people ready to give brbes for special privi-

just as many boodlers in congress, just as many
corrupt Judges, or more, and nearly as many

A. B. Spear, cashier of the closed
Citizens bank, of Oberlin in the Unit

with making false entries in the

displayed little emotion, remarking
"The poor man. | do not see what
else he could have done. He got him
self into trouble, but 1t was through
no fault of mine." She protested
tearfully that, she was guilty of no
conspiracy and innocent of any wrong
doing.

Two men were instantly killed by
the explosion of tank in the electric

There were three other men in the
place, but they escaped without receiv-
ing any injury.
The electric light plant is situated
on the south side of Filbert street,
under the train shed. The tank that
exploded contained water and air and
was used to regulate the running of
elevators. The shock of the explosion
shook the building, and with 1t the
lights went out, causing some excite
ment and much confusion. The great
station was left so dark that pass
engers had much difficulty in finding
the trains. In consequence of the ac-
cident all trains departed late.

CHICAGO STRIKE GROWS
Hundreds of Men Brought from
Other Cities to Drive leans.

Conditions in the teamsters' strike
were worse on May 1 than at any
preceding time. The strikers were in
uglier mood, the rioting more open
and vicious and the attacks on nom
union men more frequent and daring
The chief cause for the increased
belligerency of the strikers and their
friends is the fact that the Employers
Teaming association brought 1,500
men into Chicago to take the places
of strikers, and 500 more were said
to be on the way.
These men will receive the full pay
of union men, and 1t has been guar
anteed to them that their positions
will be permanent. Among the strike
breakers are 200 farmer boys.
Whenever wagon OF the Employ
ers' Teaming association goes through

been much complaint by the strike
sympathizers of the readiness with
which non-union men, particularly ne

ACTIVITY CONTINUES.
Weather Irregularities Give Slight
Check to Business in Some of
the Agricultural Districts.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
of Trade says: Weather Irregularities
provided the only check to business,
partly through the direct effect of re-
tail distribution of seasonable wearing
apparel but more through the devel-
opment of caution among traders in
some agricultural sections where
crops have been damaged or farm
work retarded. On the whole, how
ever, encouraging progress Is shown
in most trade reports, and industrial
activity is unabated. The special
jobbing dry goods sales attracted a
large attendance ald results surpass-
ed expectations. Textile manufactur-
ing is in better position than at any
recent date, the strength of the raw
materials giving additional firmness
to finished fabrics. Footwear fac
tories in New England are we'll en-
gagged, and there is no reduction in
the forces at work in the various de-
partments of the iron and steel in
dustry. Aside from the Chicago
strike, there is exceptionally little
friction between capital and labor,
many higher wage scales going into
effect this week. Traffic returns are
well maintained, railway earnings for
April exceeding last years by 10.5 per
cent. and lake navigation is heavy.
Foreign commerce at New York alone
for the last week shows gain of
SO 159,534 in value of merchandise
imports over the same week in 1904,
while exports increased sl,76S,4SS.
Coke prices are depressed by unpre-
cedented production, but consumption
is ON a scale that precludes the
possibility of any excessive accumu-
lation in the near future.
Duplicate orders for woolen goods
are appearing in moderate volume,
but this textile fabric awaits returns
from clothiers. The few reports re-
ceived thus far are satisfactory, the
firm position of the raw material pre-
cludlng the possibility Of price con-
cessions.

PRICES ARE LOWER.
Record Production of Iron and steel
Has Been Reached.

The Iron Trade Review says. RE
cord production and the abstention
of buyers from the market are reflect
ed in lower prices for some materials
and the expectation of reduction on
others. 1t is true, as represented In
print the last week on behalf of GER
tain producers of pig iron that these
interests have not named lower
prices. but the changed situation Is
ducers have asked buyers to make Of

"That business is not done under
such conditions Is natural; buyers

will lead.

Not in all its eventful history has
Richmond witnessed a more imposing
demonstration than that which mark
ed the funeral of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee.
Troops were pouring into the city all
night, and the military contingent
taking part in the procession consist
ed of two full regiments of infantry,
the 10th and list, the Richmond Light
Infantry Blues, battalion of artillery
and seven detached infantry compan-
les, making in all about 1000 men.
Added to this were the veteran or
ganizations and practically every car
riage in the city had been engaged
for the occasion.
BY noon the business section was
practically deserted. Around st.
Paups Church, in which the funeral
services took place, there was dense
throng, and from there to Hollywood
the sidewalks along the line of march
were lined with spectators.

Coke Shipments.

Coke production in the Connells-
vile region fell off slightly last week,
but the shipments were increased
over 5000 tons, there being nearly
10000 tons of stocked coke shipped
out during the week. That demand
is somewhat dull among the independ-
ent operators is evident from the fact
that the Union plant of 70 ovens has
been transferred from the active to
the idle list 1t is probable that
other Independent plants may either
be put in the idle list or operated on
short time in the near future.
