for Independence Trade.

a lively war is brewing between the
Standard Oil Company and the Schofield,
shurmer & Teagle Oil Company for the
Independence trade. For some years past
the Standard Oil Company has controlled
the Independence market. Tanks were
erected at the Chicago x Alton depot by
the Standard oil people and the price of
coal oil to dealers was 10 cents per gallon
for the II5 degree test product
During the early part of the week the
opposition company sent an agent here
who offered to the merchants of Inde-
pendence a cut of l cent per gallon. Con-
tracts were made and the building of tanks
at the depots commenced.
Yesterday Standard oil agent offered
his old customers coal oil at 9 cents gal
lon ard better. The result, Independence
merchants anticipate, will be a rate war.

COUNTY MONEY LOST IN 1894

The case Of the board of county commits
sioners against the bondsmen of ex-County
Treasurer NJ. G. Mclean will be called this
morning by Special Referee Samuel Maher.
The suit was brought on December %,
1891, and is TO recover on the bond of the
ex-treasurer in the sum of Sis, ,S4O55. The
bondsmen are NJ. G. Mclean, orrin j.
Peterson, ]. NJ. Enochs, Senator-elect Hem

berg, P. NJ. Fogarty, John Mcmahon, T.
NJ. Lynch, ex-Mayor 7. F. Harmon and W.

Since the suit was first filed, two years
ago. much litigation has been INDUCED in
by the attorneys on both sides.
When the case came up at the September
term of the district court Judge Alden ap-
pointed Attorney Samuel Maher as special
referee to try the case. Referee Maher set
the case for hearing about two weeks ago,
but on application continued 1t until to-
day.
The big suit grew out of the failure of
the Citizens bank in 1894. When the bank
suspended Mr.. Mclean had between $4,000
and $4,000 of the county's money on depos-
It. The Citizens bank had not been desig-
mated as county depository by the board
Of county commissioners and the money
had been placed in that institution on Nc
Leans own responsibility. When 1t became
known that some of the county's funds
had been tied up in the failure the county
commissioners Immediately brought suit
against the bondsmen of the ex-treasurer

we won't permit you to do it," With this
definite statement. Mr.. German closed.
Mr.. Hale looked relieved and remarked:
THAT is ample" while Mr.. Allen, from
his seat, said: Then it is understood that
the Dingley bill is dead
Thereupon, Mr.. Platt, of Connecticut, got
on his feet and announced decisively: Il
appreciate that the Republicans never did
have the votes TO pass the bill and have
less now than they ever had
But it remained for Mr.. Sherman for
mally to announce that the Dingley bill
was dead. He said he could not always
speak for his associates, but in view of
what had been said on the floor he felt
he could safely announce now that the
Dingley bill could not be passed and that
it was useless to waste further time upon
it. This closed the exciting debate and on
motion of Mr.. Quay the senate, at 4:S2 p.
m, went into executive session and soon
after adjourned.
During the moring hour the bill was
passed extending the time for building a
bridge over the Missouri river at LeXing-
ton, Mo.
The pension appropriation bill was then
taken up and, after brief discussion, was
passed as it came from the house. 1t now
goes to the president.
