DILIJOX, S. MAV 1H, 1011. If the Mexican revolt does nothing more than learn us how to pronounce sonic of those dreadful !* looking Mexican names it will have 1 accomplished some good. ? ( borne of our contemporaries are J i throwing boquets at Dillon because 2 one of the local banks took $35,000 ! 1 of the $100,000 bond issue for ' roads at 5 per cent. Dillon be- ( lieves in the policy of "keeping your ' money at home" and tries to live ,' c.p to it as closely as possible. We fail to understand how the masses of the people will be benefitted by the decision of the supreme court dissolving the Standard Oil trust. When the order goes into effect tho several refineries will be operated independent of each other, but there is nothing to pre.i^aL a tacit understanding between the heads of these refineries I as to the price of oil. The stock 1 will be pro rated among the stock | holders iu a certain refinery and ' dividends will be the same, while it,1 is likely that an independent cor- ' poration, controlled exclusively by, ' the stockholder in the several re- j fineries, will take over the pipe1 1: lines, thus keeping in the hands of the present stockholders all the % ! t properties of the parent j ^ corporation, and the "ulti- ., mate consumer" will 8im-:C ply be swapping the devil for the t witch.

R. Tillman at his home here his- afternoon. The Senator, disn-ssing the repeated stories about ^ lis health, said: "These yarns are ;o evident y set afloat by those who lo not like me and are anxious for .he lime to conic- when my obituary shall really be written and not re.ilhd by the managing editors, as i*as the case when 1 was taken ill in February, 1901) that I feel It Juo my friends to say that as far c is 1 can judge, my health is slowly, out steadily improving.
