The war against the Standard Oil Com­ ity is on in earnest. The company iwhieh was projected at the Butler, Pa., {meeting of independent oil producers has ftftken decided shape and will be formed | and undercharter within n month, accord- | log to the statement of David B. Kirk, of > Pittsburg, who was one of the vice presi- ^ dents of the meeting. He says: "The company will embrace all independent producers and refiners in the United ' 'States. We will have a capital of $1,000,- " 000 to start with, and can get §3,000.000 when it is needed. The company will be called the Pure Oil* Company of Pennsyl­ vania, and we will erect a plant in every city in the United States where the Stan- ; a idard has one. We will handle only pure JoiL" 8ole Survivor from the Chicora. •' . i When the Chicora went out of St. Joseph on its last trip there was a dog 'aboard. Sunday the dog was taken into i Benton Harbor alive. Tuesday night the : Jaog was heard whining at the door of &olon Cutler, who conducts the road- jhous at Pottowatatnie Park. It is a lenuff-colored skye terrier. It was cov- iered with ice. (Antler took compassion •M the little animal and thawed the ice •off it and robbed it with vaseline, think­ ing its hide had been frozen by the ice. •Mr. Cutler connected the visit of the 'atrange dog which had evidently just jcome out of the cold water with the jfara of the Chicora,, and took it to the jcity. The dog was jmiuediatoly recog- jnized by the stevedore sCwlio work on the jGraham docks and by the crew of the „ IPetoskey as the animal that was aboard the Chicora when it left. The dog has i been a tramp passenger on the Graham & jMorton Transportation Company's boat jfbr several mouths. It has been divid­ ing its time between the Chicora and the fPetoskey this winter. Since the dog be- ;«am# a passenger on these boats it lias feever missed a trip, taking the first boat to leave. The return of the animal indi­ cates the Chicora was within a half-mile F" \ of the east shore Tuesday evening, the second night out. The dog, it is believed, *» 'could not swim more than one-quarter If."5* mile. The place where the dog came Cv'- ashore, Pottowatamie Park, is eight fj-. ! miles north of Benton Harbor, a lakeside fc* ** summer resort. Many are inclined to fr ' think the vessel must have sunk not far i' from that point. _ Oliver Lowcr^a an Enoch Ardcn. \\«( , * At the beginning of the war Oliver %'< j ' Lower, of De Kalb,lst. Lawrence County, N. Y., enlisted at Potsdam in the Xinety- second Regiment and went to the front, yC leaving a wife and live children. At the | ' _ dose of the war he went to Washington tf ""I Territory. His wife, not hearing from "X Y.

Friday night Lower arrived at [V Ids old home. He did not visit his wife, t-/ hot left for De Kalb, thinking to find his children there. Some of his children, £, * however, are dead. Those liying arfrsup- £7 ̂ » posed to be in Ohio. - ( Coldest Place in the Country. ^ Chicago enjoyed the distinction Sun- 't> ' ' ° day and Sunday night of being the coldest ! * ' place in the United States. At r>:30 a. B., the mercury recorded nine degrees be- V,; ~y low zero. At & a. m., it was eight below, and from then until G in the evening it - I crew gradually warmer, until only one f, • \3egree below was shown. Then the teni , peratnre began again to fall, and not un- jl til Monday morning did it get warmer ' than C degrees below zero. Monday the ^ cold was intense, not once mounting '*• above zero.

CHICORA GOES DOWN, LO^R WITH ALL HANDS FCN LAKE • * MICHIGAN. Hay dealers from all parts ot the cotin- trj met in Cleveland and formed a nation­ al organization. J. J. Haller, thought to be a traveling man for a Chicago firm, committed sui­ cide at Dayton, Ohio. The trial of Harry Hnyward for the murder of Catherine Ging was formally begun in the District Court at Minneapo­ lis Mondaj* morning. A committee representing 100 destitute families in Yuma County, Colorado, has sent out an appeal for clothing, provis­ ions, coal, seed and grain. A severe snowstorm lias been ragiljg on the line of the Central Pacific Rail­ road in California, the snow being twen­ ty-two feet deep on the level at the sum­ mit. On Shasta route, a formidable ava­ lanche of snow has occurred at Upper Soda Springs, near Du'nsmuir, burying the tracks sixty feet deep under snow, bushes and rocks. Hundreds of men are now clearing the track. The river at Napa City has overflowed banks and*; the bes,t portion of the city is inundated. In Sonoma Coiinty several bridges have been swept away and the roads are im­ passable. Howell Point levee in the Sac­ ramento valley has given way and 12,000 acres of land are under water. At En- sonada, lower California, a large tannery and several residences have been swept away by the unprecedented rise of the river. Two government pilot Tioats have also been wrecked. On Agua Fria River, twenty miles from Phoenix, Ariz., Frank Dougherty, while attempting to ford the river, was swept away and perished in sight of many spectators. Later James Hammond was drowned in Hassayampa River, fifty miles north of Phoenix, while driving a mail coach across the stream. Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst, of New York, told the cosmopolitan company of Chicago men and women who gathered at the Marquette Club Thursday night to confer with him on the problem of mu­ nicipal politics that their ideal of reform was low, that their consciences were not aroused, and that their familiarity with vice was such that they passed with a jest abuses and evils from which their parents would have shrunk in horror. He could See no hope in the work of actual regeneration of Chicago--reform was not enough--in the efforts of any large body of men. He said that one or three or at the most five men must be found who would consecrate their lives to the effort to give to the city new impulses, new prin­ ciples and a.morally clean life. Dr. Park- hurst's was not the only sensational' speech of the evening. Jdhn H. Hamline said it was "God's truth" that the city was not ready for reform, that the people who were prating of it didn't want it. Rev. Thomas C. Ilall said that if Chicago were to awake some morning and find that all the Aldermen in the city hall were honest men a lot of our most respect­ able citizens would be found running around town like chickens with their heads off, endeavoring to protect the franchises that their attorneys have plot­ ted and schemed and bribed for. He said it was the respectable element of the community that was looting the city, and that there was no hope for reform as long as the only ̂ .people who could effect it are suited with the city government as it is. ' POLITICAL. SOUTHERN. The Waco (Texas) cotton palace, re­ cently destroyed by fire, is to be rebuilt. The international folk-lore congress met at Memphis. All the papers were read by women. A man of 70 years, whose death occur­ red in an obscure boarding house at Paris, Ky.. recently, turns out to have been B. E. L. Williams, an Englishman of Mani­ toba, who was reputed to be worth over $1,000,000. A bold robbery of the railway and ex­ press office at Sugarland, Texas, has roused the town. A band of masked men rode to the office and demanded of Agent Adams the safe's contents. After a se­ vere beating Adams opened the safe and the robbers took $1,500 in cash. A num­ ber of citizens undertook to intercept the robbers. A sharp battle took place, but the highwaymen escaped to the Brazos swamps. A .posse started in pursuit, and returned with four men under arrest-- Crane, Thompson, Denton and Flowers. The posse is still scouring the country for others. One hundred thousand negroes will be removed from the States of Alabama, Georgia and Louisiana, to Northern Mex­ ico within the next six months. That is the statement made by W. H. Ellis, the manager of Jlie Mexican Colonization Company, who has^just returned to San Antonio from Atlanta, Ga. Mr. Ellis states that the missionary work among the negroes is meeting with thd greatest success, and the first 100 famili ;s will go this week to the promised la td.

Resubmission was carried in the South Dakota Senate by a vote of 26. to 19. It had previously passed the house. Both houses of the Illinois Legisla­ ture balloted for Senator, the Republicans voting for Cullom and the Democrats for MacYeagh. Cullom won. Lucien Baker was elected Senator from Kansas, George E. Perkins was re-elected in California, and iu Wyoming Francis E. Warren and Clarence D. Clark were selected. E A resolution out of the ordinary was introduced in the lower house of the Ne­ braska Legislature. It recited that Rep­ resentative Robertson, of Holt County, was charged with being a member of the vigilance organization at O'Neill, four members of which are under arrest for the lynching of Barrett Scott, and asked for the appointment of a committee of five to investigate. The resolution was adopted. This is the outcome of a meet­ ing held at O'Neill, when fifty constitu­ ents of Mr. Robertson adopted resolutions denouncing his attitude in the Barrett Scott case, and demanding that he ten­ der his resignation. Knute Nelson, three times n member of the national House of UcpreNcntutlres and twice chosen Governor of MlimcNOta, was Wednesday elected United Htutct Senator for the term beginnliiK IWiiri-h 4, 1805.

Reggio di Calabria, Messina, and other places in Italy Sunday evening. The Liverpool Journal of Commerce asserts that twp of the leading steamship companies running ships between Liver­ pool and New York are negotiating with a view of concluding a working arrange­ ment with . the Southampton steamers. It is stated that the arrangement will go into effect in the spring. The Paris correspondent of the London Times notes the extreme danger of the rapid increase of radical power in the French Parliament." During seven months the radicals have gained a hun­ dred votes, and now need only eighty- five to command a majority in the Senate aud twenty-three to command a majority in the Chamber of Deputies. Such a majority would mean a collection of revo­ lutionary measures, such as the abolition of the Senate and the presidency, an in­ quisitorial income tax/^nd a confiscating separation of church and state which would be fatal to any eq^ntry, especially when taken in connection with a licen­ tious press and the so-called democrat­ ized. which means insubordinate, army. After a very stormy cabinet meeting, President t)iaz notified vGuatema!a, through its minister, at the City of Mex­ ico, that he would not concede one iota and that Guatemala would have to give in to Mexico's demand or suffer the con­ sequences. Other Central America rep­ resentatives here made the statement to President Diaz that they understood Mexico was trying to grasp Central American territory. President Diaz de­ nied the assertion. It looks as though the other Central American republics were behind Guatemala. All the govern­ ment students are marching in the streets with bauds shouting "Viva Mexico!" "Viva Diaz!" and "On to Guatemala!" They are now in front of the palace, from 12,000 to 15,000 strong, clamoring for war and pledging their support to President Diaz. They are mainly composed of students of the law, mining, and medical schools. Mexico has been preparing for war for some time and has 12,000 troops on the border. All the officers that have not been on active duty have been notified io report for marching orders. Both coun­ tries are preparing for war. Owner* of the Vessel Identify Debris Thrown Up by the Wavea and Give Up Hope tor the Bafetr of the Boat - r-Wobnbly Crusbcl by Ice. «--» Twenty-si* Ken Ti n nr|j»(| Wreckage, identified as belonging to the missing Graham & Morton propeller Chicora, was discovered in the ice off South Haven, Mich., proving without a question that the famous passenger boat, once the pride of Lake Michigan, has gone to the bottom. This settles the awful doubt that has been hanging over the fate of the vessel since she was first re­ ported lost. By the sinking of the Chi­ cora twenty-six lives were undoubtedly lost. The Chicora carried, including Cap­ tain Stines, a crew of twenty-five, and .there is said to hav<?lJeen one passenger, Mr. Pearl, of the drug firm of Howard & Pearl, St. Joseph. / , The list of those Ion, so far as known, is as follows: James R. Clark, clerk, St. Joseph. Jesse Davis, porter, Benton Harbor. Grant A. Downey, oiler, Detroit. v John Hodges, watchman, Baltimore. " Nate Lynch, cook, St. Joseph.

An TnuMeaafe Canal to Be Constrncted in Northern Nebraska* One of the most stupendous industrial projects ever set on foot in Western America is now taking definite shape to O'Neill, Neb. A company composed of many of the leading business men of O'Neill has been organized for the purpose of constructing an immense irrigating diteh over °00 milr>s long, wbirh vit! tvator over "00,000 acres of LiuJ :ui3 open VP to settlement, cultivation and proa* perity an area of country larger than Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. The cost of the undertaking is estimated at from $1,000,000 to $2,500,- 000. To secure the capital necessary to undertake this great work the company is making contracts with tho owners of real estate along the main line and its laterals stipulating for the payment of $$ per acre in ten yearly installments for the construction of said canal.,and an an­ nual water rental of $1 per acre for the use of the water. It is believed the com­ ing summer will see this great river of liqttid" prosperity pouring on its way to the homes and homesteaders of Northern Nebraska and ushering in an era of pros­ perity and progress throughout all the region along its line. Like many other of the world's great projects a rigorous necessity was its mother. The settlement of Northern Neb­ raska began fifteen years ago. In an in­ credibly short space of time several towns sprang up and thousands of acres were given over to» the cultivation of crops. Up to 1890 prosperity smiled upon the hardy settlers. The fertile fields yielded an abundance of crops, the cattle fattened and it seemed to them that no fairer re­ gion ever blossomed under the rays of the summer's sun. But during the last five _x.cara a great cloud of adversity has been projected across the landscape of these 'fair Nebraska fields andsuccession/6f crop failures has foUowe<£y«ar after year. ^The farmers and business men became tscouraged and at legth turned toward eir streams;, for salvation. The Nio­ brara River, which runs 300 miles/ from east to west, was selected as the means of bringing into new life their barren elds. The plan of the present company to tap this stream at a point south of ushville, Neb., and send its waters rough an irrigation canal, which will n almost parallel to it, throwing out its laterals right and left to carry their bless­ ings to regions which have suffered so long from drought. STEAMEB CHICORA. IN GENERAL WASHINGTON. General Secretary-Treasurer John W. Hayes, of the Knights of Labor, is in­ clined to pooh-pooh the reported move­ ment to disrupt the order and establish un independent organization. He says: "The last general assembly lrtr$*ew -Or-" leans unseated several of these fellows, and now they are trying to get back by attempts to disrupt the order. The re­ ports against us are magnified by our enemies, and I do not believe there is anything in the reported organization of an independent order of Knights of La­ bor." The fight between the officers of the United Mine-Workers is waxing warm. A. A. Adams, president of the Ohio dis­ trict, is out in a card addressed to Presi­ dent Penna of the national board, reit­ erating his charges that the leaders sold out to the operators when the compromise agreement was mudc in Columbus last June, rfe declines Penna's challenge to submit the proof to the state board, but vsays he will lay the entire matter, backed by evideuce, before the national conven­ tion, to meet in .Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 12. Adams says.three members of the state board will be reqiired to explain certain matters. Among the important cases decided by the United States Supreme Court recent­ ly was one determining the century-old question, "Are juries judges of the law as well as of facts in criminal cases?" It was decided fn the Negative, with two dissenting opinions. The question came before the court on an appeal from the judgment of the United States Court for the Northern District of California in a murder case. Justices Gray aud Shiras werethe dissenters. The House of Representatives, by a vote of 197 yeas to 51 nays, passed the bill authorizing the erection of u government building in Chicago upon the site of tho present post office. The bill is the original bill wiUiout any appropriation. The por­ tion ot the second section of the bill, which provided for an appropriation, was stricken out. The bill goes to the Senate without a dollar of appropriation, even for the preparation of the plans. The theory is that ifHhe bill shall become a law so much as shall be necessary to com­ mence work upon the building during the first fiscal year shall be incorporated in the sundry civil appropriation bill. The amount involved is $4,000,000. ' An order received at Vallejo, Cal.. from the Department at-Washington has put: the naval officers and men. and all others MARKET REPORTS.

The anxious eyes of Lighthouse Keeper Charles Donoghue, at South Haven, which have for days been looking to the west over the ice-bound lake for signs of the missing propelller Chicora, with her human freight, were rewarded on Wednesday afternoon, by discerning sev­ eral miles out specks that through the glass were soon seen to be pieces of wreck­ age. They were only specks, but to the mariner's quick eye they told of the un­ questionable loss of a vessel and all on board. The wreckage was about two miles out from shore, most of it directly opposite the harbor. The ice appeared •to extend half a mile further out into the lake. Mariners at once organized a re­ lief party to go out and investigate the wreckage. Captain Matthews, of the United States life-saving service, led the party of searchers that braved the wintry wind, blowing in their faces at a rate of upward of thirty miles an hour. The trip out from land wag h perilous one, for the ice, while driven into a compact mass by the gale of the last two days, was still ^dangerous, and in places uncertain on ^account of its roughness and the liability of its breaking up. Wreckage Found in the Ice. After the two miles, which seemed to be ten, had been covered Capt. Matthews and his party came to a mass of wreck­ age imbedded in the ice, but apparently of a boat that had but recently met with disaster. There were a number of pieces that appeared to belong to the upper works of some large vessel, probably a propeller or stettmer of some large line. Much of the wreckage was under the ice or water, which made it difficult to reach in order to closely describe, "the men hunted around for pieces of the pilot-house, by which the name of the vessel could be learned, but they were unsuccessful. Portions of the wreckage were secured and carried back to the land, where experienced seamen who knew the Graham & Morton vessel iden­ tified them as belonging to the Chicora. Among most of the seamen the opinion is that the Chicora has foundered. The discovery of the wreckage proves that she )bas at least lost her upper works, and those who know the vessel say that a storm severe enough to carry these off would be more than any vessel could stand, even though she be so stanch as Jthe Chicora. They also state that the .twenty-six men supposed to be on board 'are undoubtedly lost. If they did not go 'down with the vessel it would be impossi­ ble for them to have escaped in the teeth of the gale with the lake full of ice. Mr. Morton, of the Graham & Morton Trans­ portation Company, and Clerk Hancock, 'who arrived at South Haven late at night, examined the wreckage, which they think without doubt belongs to the Chi­ cora. Both expressed the belief that, the Chicora is still afloat and perhaps dis­ abled, and has lost ^a part of her upper works.

Edward Addicks, of Delaware, who contested for the seat in the United States Senate occupied by Anthony Higgins, was a candidate for the same office in 1888. Mr. Addicks, whose ancestors fig­ ured prominently in the American revo­ lution, began life as an errand boy, and in a few years be- merehant. law will suppress the steam whistle.

One morning he was aroused from late slumbers by a sound as if all th#- demons of his broiled-lobster dreams ^ had pounced upon him and were shriek­ ing into his ears. He threw off the?-,, covcrs and sat up in bed to swear--th» > -4 usual manner In which he relieved hfln-f+lf self. The awful noise continued. . , <rl He ran to the window. Fiwm the low-* . roof just across the alley arose a furi*f K j ous spurt of steam. The place had pul^.^ifvf In a new whistle! It was large and"\ft|^j made of brass. - ^ \ The noise ceased and he begaa to vent? his feelings, when the whistle broke" loose with new fury and kept at It for v1) nearly a niinutq. ,v ^ Next morning at 8 o'clock he was sim- ; ilarly tortured, and he immediately • & packed his trunk and sent an insulting ' . note to the manager of the hetel, say­ ing that h£ had secured apartments in a boiler shop In Clinton street. Then the manager called ea the com­ pany that owned the whistle and beg Jf , •j 0a ged to have it suppressed. The company. ;; 'M was surprised that there sbsnli be any Yv objection to a little whistling so late In •' the morning, but it was agreed tbat the engineer should be warned On the following morning at 8 o'clock the whistle let out one short aatd deaf­ ening yelp aud then stopped The suft v ,, K ferer was asleep when the «pIoslou?,rf^','-^^: came, but It lifted him to one edge the bed and left him with his head be- tween his hands, vowing that same one would suffer. He was geing to move i right out, but of course he didn't. The man with the hotel habit is always threatening to go somewhere else. After the third morning lie would find himself lying awake waiting for the whistle. He knew it was coming, - and yet it always surprised Mm by Its sudden and terrific shriek aad left him unstrung, muttering feeble carses. One morning, instead of stepping sud­ denly, the whistle kept at It for what , seemed an hour, sometimes paasing for breath and then striking out in an­ other key and shooting half way up and. down the octave. During this prolong­ ed torture he ran wildly around his rooul, clad only in his pajamas, and de- cided ito kill the manager of tlte hotel, the engineer and all the bell koys. Once more the manager weal to see the people who owned the whistle, and they explained that It was all a mis­ take, a substitute having been, put In place of the engineer. The substitute had reformed before next morning. He gave the whistlo four quick pulls and the sufferer felt as if he had been hit at the base of the' brain four times With something like a hammer. The next morning he gaves , two short pulls and one loageir ene.

As a friend he clings close as a brother, as an enemy,3 he leaves no stone unturned to promote that which he considers right. He was born in Concord, in 1835. After acquiring a common school education he attended the Harvard law school, and was admitted to practice in 1855. For many years he was prominent in State politics, and in 1881 President Garfioid appointed him SollcitorltJeneral, but the Senate rejected him. From 1882 to 1884 he was Secretary of the Navy.
