Attorney General nadley, Of Mis-

Lawson to help out of the difficulty
OF making Standard Oil Rogers talk
with reference to the situationof the
three oil companies in chat state.
Lawson said ne didn't know anything
he could swear to, but he gave the
attorney general a bunch'of incislve
advice to the effect that II the state
OF Missouri did not have sufficient
laws to make Rogers talk or go to
the penitentiary for contempt Of court
that the state had better close up
shop and go out OF business. Law

for the tender way in which the
Missouri courts are handling Mr..

seems to be a disposition among the
newspapers out at Pierre to create
a horse race between the North
Western and the Milwaukee as to
which will cross the resel walton

fellows are very anxious to put their
money on the North Western. The
Pierre fellows in reality ought to

North Western to follow, when it
