'his is II partly due to hs being considered "the.lmotlier of , the trusts , " and , parUy o Hs. in reasi g interfer- encel. w.ith , : the , g neral .busincss I system , jof the country. Its I enormous profits 'ha e been used to , ontrol th railroads of the , country ; to dominate Wall street ; I t ' misuse the fuuds of life , ' insurance . . . ' ' . companies amI in other iw ys to extend its power over the interests of the ' ' . , people. 'l'he ' , fight against monopoly has been J more that a contest for the con- . venieuces and comforts of life at i a fair price ; more than a struggle to keep open opportunities for independent business. It has been a warfare in behalf of the popular liberties against monopolistic - listic forces as dangerous as any eyer represented by king of . robber baron. In Standard Oil the people have felt the center : of this hostile power. The i a tack Standard upon Oil is one that 1rou5es the popular enthusiasm - , thusiasm mor than any other event in tlie long contest. I The i rtetat rce commission - : mission has issueci a rcport on , the railroad accidents for the last three months of t e past year , . , nnd It is interesting to note the I large proportion of accidents th ' ' t resulted by falling from cars 40'r't > oengines while ' , or 'getting on or off the same. Of the 44 , passengers killed , 24 recei ved their'injuries' ' way and 538 of those injured out of a total of 1,064 , cfune from the same cause. 178 , tr inmeu were killed and 3,734 Injured. 76 of the ] dlled and 1,201 of the injured are : , c1 ssed in the same cause. Of . 'trainnien in yards , 85 were killed , nnd 1,758 were injured ; 26 of the killed and 626 of the injured are credited to the same' ' cause. This ' is a somewhat remarkable sho'wing , as most of these accidents must have been the result of gross carelessness. The steel range 'peddlers are finding Nebraska a very profit- ab1e fiehl just at the present time , and it would be well for many a farmer-before purchas- i 1g to 'make inquiries of his cal hardware store as to what they charge for these same low grade stoves the peddlar is selling. ' Annual Meeting Alethetic & Uterary Hisb School AllociaUon. The Annual meeting of the Custer County High School Association - I sociation was held in Drocn ] Bow , Saturday , May 12. Owing' to the fact of the President , Russell mith , having left school and resigned his office somc three months since , tht : advent had not been as well ad yertised as it 'should have been , as the vice I president lived in a distant part . of the County.No blame attaches - , taches to anyone for this omission - sion , but it is to be regretted. , The field contests were held at the ball ground in the afternoon , but we have not a full treport of them.
