THE RAILROAD BILL.

Washington, April 1.-THE Senate
today entered upon the voting stage of
its consideration of the administration
railroad. bill. In accordance with the
previous agreement Senator Elkins was
prompt in moving the consideration of
the bill soon after the Senate met and
it received continuous attention until
the close of the session.
While the opposition would not con-
cede the Elkins amendments to he the
amendments OF the majority of the
committee on interstate commerce.
they consented to allow them to be
treated as such, thus consenting to
their completion in advance of the pre-
sentation of other amendments. Sem
ator Cunmins in turn succeeded in
procuring the concession that his and
Senator Clamps amendments should be
next taken up
The amendments acted upon during
the day were those regulating the jur-
isdiction of the proposed court of COM
merce and granting appeals from inter-
locutory orders of the court of COM
merce and permitting five days notice
of hearing in injunction proceedings
The last two amendments were accepted
debate on the first series and several
votes We're taken on substitutes offered
by the opponents of the bill The SUBJ
stitutes were voted down in every in
stance.
The Elkins amendments granting an.
peals to the supreme court from tempo
rary injunctions and requiring FIVE days
notice in Injunction proceedings were
adopted without debate or division Mr.
Elkins was not SO fortunate with his
amendments allowing complaints to be
represented by counsel before the COM
merce court.
CnmminS presented q substitute giving
them the absolute right to be made n
party to the suit. This amendment was
under consideration when the Senate ad-
iourned
Pending the consideration of the va
rlous amendments suggested by Mr.. Ell
kins, Nelson took occasion TODAY to state
his position towards the bill as a whole.
He especially opposed the repeal of the
sherman antitrust law as applicable to
railroads.
Il regard that law, next to the Consti-
tuition as the most important law on our
statute books" he said ITO my mind it
is the only protection we have against
the inroads of the trusts"

Washington. April 11.-For years
STANDARD Oil" has been under> the
scrutiny Of state and federal govern
meats. During the last four years the
litigation has engaged the attention of
the federal courts. Since March IA of
this year. the supreme court has
weighed the controversy Of these years
The first great fight over the methods
of the standard Oil interests was di-
rected against the Standard Oil Co. of
Ohio As a result Of the litigation, this
organization was dissolved. The stock
driftad into the hands of trusts of one
form and another, and more litigation
followed. Then the Standard Oil Co, Of
New Jersey was re-organized in 1899.
With its capital stock of $4,000, 600, it
became the holding company; that is,
il acquired the stock of 10 other Oil
COMPANIES. which in turn controlled
still larger number of companies en-
gagged in various branches of the oil
business. The task of fighting stan
dard Oil' had outgrown the states and
the federal government took up the
cudgel.
The bureau of corporations was or
ganized and as its first assignment,
undertook an investigation Of the
Standard Oil. at reached into the very
vitals of the corporation according
to the description Of that inquiry CIV
en- in court by the Standards counsel.
Then in 1906, Justice Moody, now of
the supreme court then attorney gen.
eral of the United States, directed the
filing of petition in the federal cir
cult court for the Eastern District of
Missouri, for the dissolution Of the
Standard Oil Company, of New Jersey,
as a combination in restraint of inter-
state trade and a monopoly. all in vio-
lation of the Sherman antitrust law.
The petition was loaded with the am
munition collected by the States and
by the Bureau of Corporations.

Mr.. Gimmestad his hearty support
in the final campaign, in case the
latter should be nominated, which
now seems highly probable.
While Republicans have recog-
nized that any candidate nominated
on the Republican ticket in this
county could not expect the undivid-
ed support of all former Republicans
owing to the prominence of the
county option issue at this time,
there is no reason to fear the issue
with a candidate in whom the great
majority of the party have entire
confidence, as in this case. Mr..
Gimmestad has been an active and
efficient citizen of Redwood county
since he attained his majority. His
ability to handle difficult problems
has been tested since his manage
ment Of the Rural Telephone Co. and
has worked that organization out of
threatened bankruptcy onto a sound
financial basis. Mr.. Gimmestad has
has had considerable experience po-
litically, although never salaried
office holder, and while not boasting
anything like eloquence, has repeat
eddy shown his ability to express his
views plainly and so as to command
attention. AS most of our readers
know, the county is best served in
the legislature by man who is an
alert worker and business agent,
rather than a taIker, and such man
is Mr.. Gimmestad.
Like Mr.. Bendixen, Mr.. Gimme
stad will stand squarely on the plat
for m adopted at the last Republican
county convention, including county
option.

encouraging the breeding of better
dairy stock. The association will
offer these premiums at several
county fairs in the state. The COM

A. o. Gimmestad Filed Last
Saturday for Republican
Nomination.

A big advance was made on the
problem as to who is going to rep
resent Redwood county in the next
legislature, when A. O. Gimmestad
filed for the Republican nomination
for that Office last Saturday. This
action followed conference here in
which Representative A. M. Bendix-
en- and Mr.. Gimmestad were the
principal parties. Friends Of both
gentlemen had been urging them to
file for the nomination, which is the
explanation of the delay on the part
of either to take any decisive action
without the consent and support of
the other. Representative Bendixen
was the first to suggest this confer
ence, and he has promised to give

Death Of S. T. BaiIey's Last Descendant

Old residents of Redwood Falls
will be interested in a news item
printed in the News-Messenger of
last week. stating that Mrs. Olof
PETERSON of that city passed away on
the 9Th inst. ''The deceased was the
daughter Of the late Samuel Bailey.
who was an old resident of Redwood
Falls, and known throughout this
section in the pioneer days as the
landlord Of the leading hotel in that
city. Mrs. PETERSON was the only
surviving child of that family. Mrs.
Bailey lives at Anoka and recently
visited her daughter. The deceased
was native of Washington, N. H.,
born Feb. %. 1855, and with her
parents became residents of Red
wood Falls in the troublous Indian
days of 1862. She was married to
Mr.. PETERSON in that city on Nov. %,

in Marshall, where he was among
the pioneer merchants of the then
village. There were two daughters,
Caille Maud, who died Aug. IL. 1904.

Accidental Death Of Edward Sisler.


The death Of Edward Sisler,
Redwood county citizen who was
committed to the St. Peter hospital
eleven years ago, was chronicled in
the papers last week, being the re-
suit of an accident or an epileptic
seizure, to which he was subject.
Sisler was walking on the high
Northwestern railway trestle near
the institution last Wednesday af-
ternoon, about one o'clock. and fell
to the ground on the LeSueur coun-
ty side of the river. AS Sisler was
subject to epileptic seizures, it is
supposed that one of these was the
cause of his fall to death. The lie
Sueur county coroner assumed this
theory to be correct and did not
hold an inquest. Mr.. Sisler was
only thirty EIGHT years of age, hav-
ing been committed to the hospital
when quite a young man and in a
violent condition.

grasses. etc., he will see to it that
they are effectively displayed.
