The Standard Oil Co. is in a fair

ment for its violations Of the law in
Its use of illegal freight rates and it

company and when be made applica-

that the court should have found

Lands, however, feels that he is en-

be required to appear before the
court and give the desired informa-
tion. This will bring a no less noted

Representative Hull, OF Iowa,
says that If President Roosevelt
again becomes a candidate for the
presidency that he will receive 40 per
cent of the democratic vote. This
leads the Savannah, Ca, News to
say that it has been suggested in
other quarters that President Roose-
welt is 40 per cent democrat since be
purloined a portion Of the ideas Of
Colonel Bryan. The News does not
think that half Of the democratic
voters will vote for the president
simply because he got away with
some Of Mr.. Bryan's productions.
If the president has adopted any
thing that was at all Bryanesque, he
Is making better use Of it than Mr..
Bryan ever did.

THE CHANGE NOTICEABLE

The change in the sentiment
of the lnsurgent element OF the re-
publican party has evidently set in,
as is noticed by an incident which
occurred in Sioux Falls a few days
ago, when Rev. Jacob Olson, the
blind editor of Canton, gave express
ion to his own feelings on the situa-
ton. and which is given below:
"What has caused the changer
Mr.. Olson was asked. In reply be
said that there were a number of
contributing causes. One was the
election of Senator Gamble in spite
of the graft charges proven against
him. Another is the unsatisfactory
answer which Governor Crawford has
made in reply to the charge of land
frauds against him. Another he
said was the hurt to state pride
which comes from the use OF a cheap
outside material for the new capitol.
Another is the feeling that the so
called sreiorners' are not reformers
at all, but merely an assembly Of
Office grabbers. Another is the high
handed and conceited conduct OF the
governor IN turning down so many
of his old friends who spent their
time and money In his tehalf, but
who now have to secure an engraved
card to get into the royal presence.
"There are said to be hundreds Of
men who worked hard for Crawford
a year ago, and whom the governor
does not recognize as he passes them
by on the street Senator Kit
tredge' said Mr.. Olson will carry
Lincoln county when the next fight
is pulled off, and the whole stalwarl
ticket will win there" Mr.. Olson
also spoke of the becoming modesty
of South Dakota's big senator who
has not been spoiled by the nonols
heaped upon him, and who is the
same modest and unassuming man
that he was twenty years ago. 1t is
different with Crawford said the
speaker 'and people are not slow to
notice it,"

The saloon men of Sioux Falls are
to be required to observe the license
law OF the state. Heretofore they
have been permitted to run their
saloons on any plan that was salts
factory to themselves, or nearly so.
The city council, however, has just
issued an order that the state law
must be observed, which will require
the saloons to forego the free lunch,
removing tables, musical instru-
ments, and taking..down distractions
from the windows so that a free view
can be obtained in the saloon. 1t
has created CONSERVATION among the
saloon keepers and they know not
what to debut the chances are that
they will find out what the law re-
Guires and then follow it.

3. Fl. Hartman, the railroad
king, had the unpleasant experience
OF being placed under arrest by a
government attache during the Yale
and Harvard boat race. Mr..
Hartman insisted in running his
yacht anywhere he pleased over the
race course and interfering with the
pleasure of the visitors and generally
disturbing the effect Of the race.
When the railroad man was warned
to kesp away he paid no heed to the
r~asaastiand the government attache
wa finally ~inatrncted to place Nh.
HsKrlmaAs iunifer arrest, and2h ne was

mentsbont until after the race. it is
possible that Hartman will be re-
quired to pay a fine Of $500, which

the rules last year. Perhaps the
railroad king will come to a realiza-
ton that be will soon have to respect
the rights of others to some extent.

M.intenon Break. Down.


W. x. Vanderbilt has decided to send

This closes the racing career of the
famous horse which, bought as a year
ling for 300 francs, won for his own
er nearly a million francs In stakes

The breakdown Of Maintenon prac-
tically destroys the plans Of Mr.. Van

most extensive turf enterprise in Eng
land, Mr.. Vanderbilt having named
Maintenon for the Ascot Gold cup, q
coveted trophy. with the hope to bring
about another meeting between his
great horse and the English Derby

A RES c U E BOY

to the little boy:
Now. Bonnie. run out to the barn
and play with Rover. Hannah and I
shall be busy for a long. long time"
So Bonnie put on his cap and started
for the barn. Just outside the kitchen
door he stopped to look up into the
apple tree that partly shaded the
kitchen roof. The kitchen had been
lately added to the main building Of
the house and was only one story high.
Up In the apple tree two robins were
building their nest. Bennie watched
the robins. Then he felt he would
like a nearer view OF the nest. His
mother had forbidden him to climb
trees, but he said to himself, Mamma
and Hannah are in the cellar and will
never know" So he began to climb.
He crawled out upon the branch where
the robins were building, but before he
had time to say Jack Robinson the
limb gave a creak, broke right OF and
sent Bonnie tumbling down the wide
kitchen chimney. Mrs. Harper and
Hannah, who had heard the noise,
rushed from the cellar to see what had
happened. Mrs. Harper detected the
sound of muffled sobs in the chimney.
and she began to cry:
