STANDARD OIL
MUST DISSOLVE

Washington. May 15.-The Stand
ard Oil Company of New Jersey and
its nineteen subsidiary corporations
were declared today oy the supreme
court of the United States to be
conspiracy and combination in re-
straint of trade. Ii was also held to
be monoplzing interstate commerce.
in violation of the Sherman antitrust
law. The dissolution of the combina-
ton was ordered TO take place within
six months. Thus ends the great
struggle on the part of the govern
ment to put down, by authority of
law. a combination, which, il is claim
ed was a menace to the industrial and
economic advancement of the entire
country.
At the same time, the court inter
preted the Sherman antitrust law so
as to limit its application to acts of
undue" restraint of trade and not
"everyn restraint of trade. 1t was
on the point that the only discordance
of note was heard in the court JUS
tice Harlan dissented claiming that
cases already decided by the court,
had determined, once for that word
undue" or unreasonable" and sim
liar words were not in the statute.
He declared that the reasoning of the

effect, legislation which belonged. in
every instance to congress and not
the court.
Eyer since the decree in this case
in the lower court the United States
circuit court for the eastern district
of Missouri was announced, hope has
been expressed by the business world
that the law would be modified so as
not to interfere with what was desig-
mated as honest business. Tonight,
that section calling for the use of
reason in plying the law is regarded
in many quarters, as an answer to the
prayers of the business world.
The opinion of the court was an
nounced by Chief Justice White. In
printed form, it contained more than
20, 600 words. For nearly an hour,
the chief discussed the case from the
bench, going over most Of tho points
in the printed opinion, but not once
did he refer 10 it in order to refresh
his memory.
Before him sat distinguished au-
dience of the most famous men of the
country. Senators and representa-
tiyes left their respective chambers
in the capital to listen to the epoch
making decision of the court. Most
eager to hear we're Attorney General
Wickersham and Frank B. Kellogg,
special counsel for the government
who has conducted the great fight
against the Standard Oil Company.
None of the brilliant array of counsel
defendants were present in the court
during its reading of it's opinion.

of the old timers were riveted to that
sY4ke as he wiggled across the field.
The young men were apparently OBJ
livious to the snakes presence and
this uneoncern added TO the uneasi-
ness of the old boys. They looked at
the snake and looked at each other
but said not word for none of them

snake there. The net result was that
in FIVE minutes the boys had made
four scores and the old fellows were
engaged in chasing imaginary balls in
every direction but toward the hoodo.
When the bows set up wild yell and
begun war dance the old fellows
pulled themselves together and slew
that snake, but the game was lost and
they drilled up town breathing yeng-
ance of various colors.

BASE BALL CLUB
ORGANIZED

Tuesday evening a meeting was
held at the j. II. Fryberger store and
the initial steps taken to organize a
baseball team to represent Kadoka
this summer. J. II. Fryberger was
selected as manager and j. f. Hrach-
oyec for secretary-treasurer.
While little late in the season for
commencing, Kadoka will in short
time have team ready to go against
any of the neighboring towns and
fast enough to hold their own against
the fastest. Last season Kadoka had
one of the best teams west of the
Missouri river, and TO begin with, has
the same lineup witt the exception
of Harold Solon, who did the back
stop work and is now playing the
game of his life with Draper.
Shorty's place behind the bat will
be taken by Raymond Solon, who
has had three years experience and is
most competent player and the
team will not be weakened in the
least in this department. Geo. Rice
will again pitch for Kadoka and the
fans know that no tWirler in this
western country has anything on him.
At first base VIM. Biddle will again
officiate and Jack Hughes will take
care of short stop, with Joe Hracho-
vec looking after the fast ones around
third base. These three infielders are
seasoned ball players and their bat
ting has won seV Veral games for Kado-
ka. The sarne fast outffeld as played
last year are ready to start the season,
Ben Hughes in right field, Simon
Hughes in center and Geo. Emerson
in the left garden.
Besides these players mentioned
number of new recruits will be tried
out and the fastest men picked for
the team. Manager Fryberger has
announced that next Wednesday af-
ternoon, May oath, he will give all
the candidates a good tryout and al
who wish to try for a place on the
regular team should be present that
day.
Everyone in Kadoka should do their
utmost TO boost the team and help
the game along and we predict at
close of the season the local team will
show large percentage of the games
played have resulted IN victory for
them.
The bail club will be composed en-
tirely of home players and no salaried
men will be employed and whatever
honor they secure will belong entire
ly to Kadoka, won by her own boys.

How to Keen Youno-


The fact that one has lived 60 or
even for 80 years, is no reason why
he should feel old.
When Longfellow was well along in
years, his head as white as snow, but
his cheeks as red as a rose, an ardent
admirer asked him one day how it
was that he was able to keep so vigor-
ous and to write so beautifully.
Pointing to blossoming apple tree
near by the poet replied: "That ap-
pie tree is very old, but I never saw
prettier blossoms upon it than those
which it now bears. The tree grows
a little new wood each year, and I
suppose that it is out OF that new
wood that those blossoms come. Like
the apple tree, try to grow a uttle
new wood each year"
And what Longfellow did we all
ought to do.
We cannot stop the fight of time:
we cannot head off the one event that
happeneth to all; but we can keen on

at once. Others were surprised ana
doubtful as to their genuineness and
forwarded them to the president with
q letter Of inquiry. Taken altogether
it was q most remarkable affair
planned and carried out in a reckless
manner. The report Of the detectives
sent to capture the schemer furnishes
chapter Of racy reading.
It was discovered that q lady who
rented furnished rooms at No. 426
Sixth street had sometime prior to
the discovery Of the forgerles received
letter from q man signing himself
Rev. J. Hale Barney. He said he
was Methodist minister and that he
would be absent from the city much
Of the time attending to the duties Of
his circuit, but he wanted to hire a
good lower front room in her house
for office purposes and a place to
sleep and the delivery Of his CORE
spondence. He explained further that
he had been appointed executive Sec
rotary Of the Christian Brotherhood.
The lady thought it was a rare op-
portunity to secure an occupant of
distinction. She had great confidence
in Methodist ministers as she leaned
that way. herself, and she answered
favorably. In a few days. large
trunk was forwarded by express. It
had an aperture in it's top through
which letters could be dropped. There
w.S also forwarded two large cards
upon which was printed REV. J. Hale
Barney, Executive Secretary of the
Christian Brotherhood" one to be
hung upon the door, the other in the
window Of the room. Money was
sent to pay a months rent in ad.
vance.
The madame was delighted to rent
her rooms to such nice man. She
had always maintained a highly re.
spectacle place and intended to keep
it so. The trunk was put into one
corner of the room hired, and all
mail addressed to the reverend myth
was dropped through the hole in the
top of the trunk pending the arrival
of his reverence.

easily secured 4 key 70. 1T Il. He
had several circulars printed in Tao
simile OF the original to be used al
decoys. These were postmarked and
given the appearance of having been
sent by postmasters In the south.
Some Of them contained marked
money. Excuses were made In 9TH
ers: money would be sent in course
Of time. Some Of these letters were
signed, "A Friend of the Cause" "A
Sympathizer," depend Upon Me"
etc. A letter carrier was made use
Of and the detective was kept posted
In regard to the delivery Of the let
tiers. ~
When the mice man" occupying
the room back of the parlor was alb
sent the letters contained in the trunk
were examined by the detective. A
short time after the return Of the
mice man" he was seen to slip into
the parlor through the rear door. The
detective again examined the trunk.
The letters were gone. Shortly after
wards the mice man. occupying the
room back of the parlor was arrested
while in the act of dropping letters
into the postof1ice.
These letters were discovered to be
circulars addressed to postmasters
and others. The mice man" arrested
was searched and the marked money
placed In the letters by the detective
was found in his pocket. 1t was now
certain that Rev. J. Hale Barney and
the individual arrested were one and
tho same. The silent young man up
stairs was suspected and arrested. His
room was searched and a large num-
Der of printed circulars and envelopes
addressed to postmasters were found.
The plot. although silly In it's con-
ception, was catchy because of its
holiness. The mice man" caught
was a person Of considerable prom
inence. He had served as a colonel
of a regiment during the Civil war
and was a gallant fighter.
The young fellow upstairs was q
printer and had done the work on the
circulars. Both Of the schemers were
