BLESSED IS THE PEAtEMAKER''
And Charles Ladder Has Good Chance
To Inherit Eternal Kingdom
Shot Twice.

MOSCOW, Ida, Nov. 26.-Soon after
8 o'clock Saturday afternoon Charles
Saddler, a we'll known resident of
Kendrick, rs miles southeast of here,
was shot and fatally wounded by Will
liam Segsby. AS near as can be learn
ed, the trouble arose in the Monogram
saloon over a bet and Saddler was
called in and asked by both parties
to settle the dispute.
An argument followed between Sad
dler and Segsby, which lasted for sew
eral minutes. At last Saddler became
angry and threw a large piece of wood
at Sagsby, striking him in the face.
Segsby then drew his revolver and
fired two shots. The first shot struck
Saddler just below the right nipple
and the second shot entered his right
thigh. Both shots inflicted deed and
ugly wounds, and it is believed the
first shot will prove fatal.
SegSby vas arrested
after the shooting ARRAY and locked
up in the town Jail. Reports from
Kendrick state hat ~Saddler is still
alive, though it is feared he will die
within an hour. The wounded man
is a tanner by trade, and has lived
in Kendrick for several years. Segsby
has been in employ of the Pine creek
lumber company, but was discharged
Friday.

WHAT DOES THE STANDARD
MEAN?

The present organization has eX-
listed unchallenged for many years.
Circular of the Standard Oil company.
If his be true it would not be
proof that the organization is either
legal or just. Slavery existed un-
challenged for many years, but always
was a blot on the American republic.
But it is not true. The Standard Oil
trust has; been challenged all through
its existence. The independent refin-
ers challenged the old South Improve
ment company, the basis of the Stand
ard Oil trust. The legislature of
Pennsylvania challenged and de-
ounce it. The congress Of the
United States did the same thing.
says the Minneapolis Journal.
But perhaps the Standard people
refer to legal challenge. AS to that,
Attorney General David Watson
challenged the trust soon after it was
formed in the supreme court Of Ohio
and obtained a solemn decree for it's
dissolution. This order was never
obeyed honestly. 1t "a evaded by
the trick of appointing liquidating
trustees who never l%iquidated, but
went on managing the trust, though
their sole duty was to wind it up.
1t was challenged again in 1897 by
Attorney General Monet of Ohio, who
became satisfied hat the supreme
court order of 1890 had not been
obeyed. The liquidating trustees fled
before his attack and formed the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey,
which has been in court in one way
or another nearly every year since.
The form of the Standard Oil COM
and the only reason that its status
has not been settled o is that
the officers of the company have
avoided service of subpenas which
would have brought the matter to a
head. Attorney General Hadley OF
Missouri was hampered in this way
last year by the cowardly skulking OF
John D.. Rockefeller. Undoubtedly the
United States will be annoyed by the
same kin of skulking this year.
So many successful and unsuccess-
full legal attacks are a matter of rec
ord, that it is rather short memOrieC
of the Standard to come in and plead
that the organization has existed un.
challenged for many years. The fac
is that there has never been a yea
since the oil trust was formed whel
its existence was not challenged il
court, in congress or in public protest

OBLIGATIONS OF MODEsTY.'

At last the celebrated affair of the
Italian tenor and the American woman
has assumed the aspect of an internal
tional question. Not so far as Signor
Caruso and the oma are concerned;
they are entirely lost sight of in a
larger n more important PROPOSE
ton, comments the Chicago Tribune.
The issue is-not what penalty
shall be inflicted on the particular
criminal specified, but what high or
low order of civilization is it that
makes such public disclosures posi-
sible? What is the duty of a woman
in the premises when she has been
wantonly insulted and affronted by
a tenor, a baritone or any other mas
culin representative of the human
family?
