Standard Oil Is On Trial.

CHICAGO, Dec. 10.-The fight OF the
Standard Oil company against the ten
indictments against the Standard Oil
company of Indiana which were re-
turned August 90. vas commenced to-
day in the United States district court
before Judge Lands. The Standard
Oil company has entered a demurrer.
The attorneys for the Standar Oil
company commended in support of their
demurrer that section 10 of the rate
law passed by congress June %, re.
peals the Elkins law under which the
government Is bringing the action
against the company, and that the in.
dictments are not sufficiently specific
because they do not comprehend all Of
the elements in the case.
The contention that the Elkins law
is repe aled by the rate law and that
the offenses alleged cannot therefore
be punished under the former act, was
ontradicted by United States District
Attorney Sims, who declared that sec.
ton IL of the revised statutes covers
the case, in that it states that the re.
peal of the old statute does not con.
done prior o~tfenses, unless the repeal
ing act SO specifies in particular.
The trial OF the packing house com.
panies indicted for conspiracy in re-
straining trade, was today continued
until January 10. The eason for the
postponement is that the attorneys for
both the government and the packing
houses are engaged ia other trials in
the United States district court.

Object To Bachelor Tax.

BURGSAW, N. c., Dec. 1O.-Forty.
four old bachelors of this place are up
in arms against the first buchelor tax
ever levied in the "Tar Heel' state.
They lay the blame on President
Roosevelt.
Young spinsters of the county are,
on the contrary, elated and openly
praise the president for his trace sui.
eide" stand, which they regard as re.
sponsible in part for the action of the
county commissioners in laying an
imposition on those who will not be.
come benedicts.
The Rev. G. H. Utley, one of the
most popular preachers in this part OF
the state. was the first of the cap
club to become apprised of the new
law affecting them. He went to the
court house to list his taxes, and was
informed that he would have to pay
the bachelor tax, amounting to a
double poll tax. From the expression
on his face it could be seen that he did
not intend to pay it again.
1t is the opinion of Q majority Of
the II bachelors that the tax is uncon'
stitutional, as is evidenced by the
provision of the broad clause tina,
men are entitled to "life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness"

The Sonnet Writers.

The fashion of sonnet writing was at
its height in the sixteenth century.
when Rousard, the French prince of
poets" in his own country and genera
ton, wrote over 900 s%onnets, a total
which appears only to have been ex-
ceeded By Gomez de Quevedo, the
Spanish Voltaire, who is said to have
written w 1000. Fortunately for
sonnet lovers some of the best poets
have been prolific sonneteers. Petrarch,
who created the classic model which
later poets initiated, wrote 315. Cam
oens is responsible for 352, Sir Philip
Sidney wrote 1OS, Spenser SO and
Dante 80. English sonnets were first
written by Sir Thomas Wyatt Q5O3-42)
and Henry Howard, earl Of Surrey
C517-40, and the first appearance Of
any in book form was in a rare publ
cation briefly known as "Tottle's Mis-
cellany," the full title being "Songs and
Sonnettes written by the Right Hon
cure Lorde Henry Howard, late Earle
Of Surrey, and other" The greatest

The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1906-06-16
Duke of wellington,s vanity.

Among the portraits at the Royal
academy, London, there are some
which could tell stories; some with
little touches of idiosyncrasies of sub
jects no less than OF painters. Is the
story of Lawrence's portrait OF the
Duke OF wellington commonly known?
The duke had only one vanity-his
wrist was like steel. Now, when he
was given the sword OF state to carry
It was his infinite delight that he was
able to carry 1t upright; all his prede-
cessors had to slope 1t toward the
shoulder. He would go. down to pos
terity. he resolved. glorifed by the
power OF his wrist.
In vain Sir Thomas Lawrence point
cd out that, as matter OF art. It
would never do; that the sight Of q
man perennially carrying sword from
the wrist would fatigue those who
locked at his picture. The duke in
sisted upon having his way. Lawrence
did manage to smuggie in cushion
upon which the duke seemed to rest
his elbow, but close examination shows
that arm and cushion do not meet.

Thea, In lower tone:
"'You are that man.
There was silence in the court as
the chief sat down. Some tears ran
down over the judges face. Gen.
Crook leaned forward and covered his
face with his hands. Some of the ladies
sobbed.
Orator Given Ovation.
'All at once that audience by one
common impulse rose to it's feet and
such shout went up as was never
heard in a Nebraska courtroom. No
one heard Judge Dundy say Court Is
adjourned There was rush for
Standing Bear. The first to reach him
was Gen. Crook. l was second. The
ledies fiocked toward him, and for an
hour Standing Bear held a reception.
"A few days afterward Judge Dund-
handed down his famous decision in
which he announced that an Indian
was a person and was entitled to the
protection of the law. Standing Bear
with his old wagon and the body OF his
dead child he went back to the hunt
ing grounds Of his fathers and buried
the boy with tribal honors. 1t was the
very first time an Indian was ever per-
mitted to appear In court and have his
rights tried"
UP at the Ponca reservation there is
an cid white-headed Indian Che is the
only known really white-headed In
clan, tool. It is old Standing Bear
old and decrepit. But he remembers
Car! Schurz, and still blames him for
r,uch of the hardships through which
the western Indians passed.
When told of the death of Schurz,
the old man smoked full minute be-
fore answering the one word of Eng

Lawyers, every one In Nebraska and
many from the big eastern cities: busi-
ness men, Gen. Crook and his full stan.
In their dress uniforms (this was one
ut the few times in his life that Crook
wore his full dress In public), and the
Indians themselves, In their gaudy col
ors. The courtroom was galaxy of
brilliancy.
"On one side stood the army Officers.
the brilliantly dressed women. and the
white people; on the other was Stand
ing Bear. in his official robes as chief
OF the Poncas, and with him were his
leading men.

but instead, gathering a few members
of his tribe, he started for the ancient
hunting grounds of his tribe, intend
Ing to bury the child where genera
lions of Ponca chiefs lay.
Schurz heard of the runaways, and
through the war department tele-
graphed Gen. Crook, in Omaha, to ar
rest the Indians and return them to
Indian Territory.
But the chief of the Omahas, Iron
Eye, went to meet the Ponoas and Of
fered them a haven OF refuge on the
Omaha reservation.
1--WE have all the land Standing Bear
and his people wish for; we have corn
and meat in plenty; come live with
u.s." said Iron Eye.
But the government, through Schurz,
said NO"
So Crook arrested the old chief and
brought him and his followers down
to Omaha. And with them came the
wagon bearing the dead child.
standing Bear told Crook his indi-
vidual story. The great Indian fighter
knew the general history OF the In
dians and was already indignant at
their treatment, but the treatment ac-
corded Standing Bear was too much,
and even the stern warrior rebelled.
Campaign Mapped Out.
That night Crook came into Omaha
and had an all-night's conference with
Tibbles, then an editorial writer on a
newspaper. A campaign OF Indians
rights was mapped out, and both men
started out the next day to carry out
their parts.
Crook was to delay returning the In
dians to Indian Territory until writ
OF habeas corpus could be asked for
from the United States court on tbs
ground that the constitution, in the
fourteenth amendment, guaranteed to
all persons born in the United States
equal protection OF the law.
Tibbles looked out for the legal end
Of the deal. He went to John l.. Web.
ster, then struggling, unknown young
lawyer, laid his case before him, ant
asked him to defend the rights OF the
Indian.
There is no money In 1t, but there

most notable trial ever brought In the
west, and, in fact, the scopeewas as
Wide as any ever tried in the United
States, for by its decision 100000 peo-
pie were made citizens.
Thomas H. Tibbles attended every

words he describes IL this way:
The courtroom was crowded with
fsshIonably dressed women, and thu
clergy, which had been greatly stirred
by the Incident, was there In force
