Judge Markham the lady was con-

Ryan and two companions passed

The husband promptly followed

after he had him located called an
officer and had him arrested. The
case was taken before Judge Mark
ham late in the afternoon.
The evidence given in the action
was rather contradictory, the COM

that Ryan had used unbecoming
language while the defendant and
his two friends denied directly hav-

so much is demanded of the citizens

DISCOVERED AT LAST.

~ vi JAO HuO4AS SRI
DISCOVERED AT LAST.
Hulloo!
Sound the alarum!
A great discovery hath been made!
The Standard Oil company is a
trust!
All who have held to the idea that
the Rockefeller concern is an inno-
cent little organization that wouldn't
think of choking competition or spik-
ing a rival, should know that it is a
wicked aggregation of monopolists.
For the first time since it was
formed forty years ago the United
States government has declared
through one Of its courts, that the
Standard Oil company is conducted in
restraint Of trade.
John d. Rockefeller began the re-
fining of petroleum in Cleveland in
1866 and in 1870 the Standard. Oil
company was formed. By 1879 ac-
cording even to the decision Of the
circuit court of appeals last Satur-
day, the company had control OF more
than forty reflneries.
From that time on the Standard
OIL company has enjoyed to the full
absolute control Of the oil business of
the country.
Two books have been written, set
ting forth In detail all the iniquities
performed by the oil trust. a recital
which would have subjected the
authors to punishment for libel II 1t
had not been true. None Of the sub
stantial allegations against the oil
trust either in the Lloyd or the Tar
bell history of 1t have ever been dis
proved.
Eerly in the '7O's, John D Rncke-
Teller secured an agreement from the
railroad companies reaching the var
ious %refineries, whereby he not only
received a big rebate on all freight
payments but actually was given a
rebate on the freight paid by COM
petitors. Following this "genteel"
arrangement, his rivals were not long
in facing the alternative Of selling
out to him or going into bankruptcy.
Since that time the Standard Oil
company has gone on, securing secret
favors from railroad companies. brib-
ing railway employees to spy on the
business Of competitors, pursuing re-
lentlessly with price vars the trade
Of Independent reineries, corrupting
and doing all that craft
would suggest to keep complete con-
troll Of the oil business and extort
great profits from the consumer.
In the year 1890 the Sherman anti
trust act was passed.
Now, in the year 1899, nineteen
years after the antitrust law vas en-
acted and more than thirty years
since, according to the finding of the
court Of appeals, the Standard Oil
company became a monopoly. it is
for the first time by a
United States court that this most
notorious monopoly is in fact a mo-
nopoly.
The oil trust has made it's multi
millionai res; It has brought together

Our Women and the Weed

New York Tribune: A very con-
%ventional Boston woman, while visit
ing recently near New York, went
with the house party to a dance at a
country club within motoring dis
lance, and preferred watching the
dancing to being as active as the va
rious fancy dances required. To her
horror, she suddenly saw two of the
sweet looking, demure young girls
whom she had just met proceed to
dance together a Spanish barn dance,
each smoking like a veteran. Mean
while, the men of their acquaintance
called bets of boxes of cigarets to the
longest. AS the dance progressed the
others in the ballroom stopped to
watch until they were the only one
left, and in consequence the center of
all eyes, which fact they recognized
by dancing with freer motion and a
higher Spanish" kick than usual.
Both vel with chaperons who were
their juniors. and not one of the old
er men n women interfered.
Later, on the roof garden of the
Colony Club, the conventional woman
saw young married women and spins
tiers taking coffee and cigarets as I'M
~concernedly as If there had never
been one rule for men and another
for women. and in some cases a
pony" was noted in addition to the
cigaret. The Boston woman has now
started a crusade against smoking,
but her friends have warned her that
she will find the task hopeless, for
American women, when they take
to smoking, Ire far more immoderate,
1t would seems, than foreigners.
In European countries women have
smoked so long that familiarity with
the weed has led to a sort of indif-
ference to it. A cigaret or two suf-
fees them. For this reason there is
less excessive smoking in Washing
ton. with Its foreign social element,
than in New York and Philadelphia.

Tyndall Tribune: Mr.. Elliott was
importuned to take the position men,
toned and numerous propositions
have been made him by the Milwau-
kee, but he has declined all proffers,
and has not nor will not accept the
position. Neither will Mr. Elliott
leave Tyndall. He has large interests
here and his law practice has reached
such proportions that he could not
afford to accept any salaried position,
even should he have the inclination.
While Mr.. Elliott's failure to accept
the railroad a~ttorneyship may be a
