in Crushing Rivals.
) New York, Nov. 27.-Since the hear
ing in the case of the government
against the Standard Oil company was
resumed on Wednesday the more sali-
ent facts brought out were these:
1. 1t was established that the Stand
ard Oil company was not a pioneer in
the oil field. 1t was not the first dis
coverer of oil. 1t was not the first
builder of barrels in which oil was
transported, not the first to attempt
pipeline transportation on tank stor-
age. 1T reached its present prosperity
by borrowing vast sums of money at
low interest and buying and improv-
ing the holdings of weaker corpora
tions.
.. That as a member OF the firm OF
Andrews, Clark & Co.. John D. Rocke-
Teller started in the oil business with
$4,000.
3. That no sooner had the Standard
OIL company become prosperous than
it watered its stock.
4. That the company bought firm
after firm, plant after plant. and dock
privilege after dock privilege, and that
in one instance it entered into con-
tract to restrain trade by restricting
the output of oil.
s. That the Standard Oil company
was a pioneer in obtaining rebates from
railroads.

courts than q fixed salary and yet have
these courts effective.
Attorney General H. w. Byers has
decided to proceed against the Council
Bluffs corporation which operates the
traction line and ManaWa park in that
city for the $4,000 fee for filing arti-
cles of incorporation which the state
claims and for about 100000 in pen
atty accruing for failure to file when
the corporation started to do business
six years ago.
The attorney general supposes that
it will not be necessary to litigate the
question of the fee for filing the arti-
cles. assuming that the corporation
will promptly liquidate the claim upon
which the state insists. But it is sup
posed that there will be resistance in
the courts to the claim by the state
for large penalty from the corporation
for failing to file it's articles.
An interesting rumor has been cir
culating in political circles for several
days, to the effect that the postmast-
ers in the Eighth congressional dis
trict contemplate resigning in a body
before the term of Congressman Hep
burn expires. This would permit him
to reappoint them, with the aid of the
president and postoffice department.
for four year terms, dating from the
time of their designations, it is said.
In this way the standpatters would be
able to save for themselves the federal
plums which the progressives, other
wise, may be expecting.
1t is supposed that the junior SEN
ator Of the state will have a voice in
determining the direction in which the
plum tree shall be shaken, after the
Eighth district republican congress
man is succeeded by a democrat. 1t is
limited in political circles that even the
progressive republicans of the Eighth
district might sit UP and take notice
of the falling plums in case any were
left to fall after March 4 next. A con-
gressional district without republi-
can congressman very often looks to
a senator to see that the salaries are
kept within the party.
