Oil Company Pays Inspection Fees on
Wrong Basis.

State Auditor George E. Cole is after
the Shernan-S -Schofeld & Teagle Oil
company at Kansas City, because the
company has failed to remit sufficient
fees for the oil inspections recorded in
September. The company has paid for
the inspection of 221 barrels of oil, a
sum amounting to S22.10. at the rate of
10 cents per barrel, which applies when
over so barrels of oil are inspected at
the same time. The company settled on
the basis of a complete inspection at
one time.
The auditor has information which
shows that the oil was inspected as

the first of these elevators will be taken

months steady work for fifty men.
The elevator will be constructed by the

be Of steel construction throughout and
in many respects will be superior to any
other elevator in the city.
j. R. Branden. of Chicago, will be the

Branden has had charge of the prelimi-
nary plans and has been a very busy
man for the past week at the West ho-

ACTRESS AND A WHIP.
Ida Orme Publicly Applies the Lash
to- Marcus Mayer

to Marcus Mayer.
NEW YORK, June S.-Ilda Orme, the
actress, publicly horsewhipped Marcus r.
Meyer as he was about to start for Eu-
rope on the American liner st. Paul. Miss
Orme struck the theatrical manager seven
times mail, three of the blows were di-
rected across the face and one raised
large welt on his countenance. Miss
Orme, having satisfied her anger, hurried
through the crowd along the promenade
deck of the ship and tried to escape. To
an officer who intercepted her, on the pier
she declined to give her name. George
Lederer, who was at the pier to see his
partner, Mr.. Mayer, off, demanded the
arrest of the woman, but as Mayer would
not guarantee to go to the station house
to enter complaint the officer refused to
make an arrest
Before she went away Miss Orme gave
Mr.. Mayer a tongue lashing, saying,
among other things, that he had done all
in his power to kill her professionally;
that she had lost situation after situa-
ton through his influence; that he insult
ed her in her apartments in London, and
finally that he had written to newspa--
pers and said in public that she was in
sane.
80 you are crazy" shouted Mr.. Mayer.
Everybody knows that
well, 1 was sane enough today to
horsewhip you, and I was wise enough
to know that you could not remain be-
hind to have me locked up. &c. my dear
Mr. Mayer. I am not as insane as you
want to make people believe
Mr. Mayer said of the assault: II do
not know what got into the woman. She.
is certainly insane. Why, l was simply
dumfounded when attacked. So far as
my harming the woman, I have never in
any way form interferred with her pri
vate, social or professional plans l have
trouble enough of my own, so that have
no occasion to mix up in hers. Miss Orme
is simply laboring under the impression
that / Rave done her an injury when I
have not. I know nothing of her con-
finement in an asylum in England and
naturally had no hand in it,

Was an Accomplishing and Pas
time OF Early English Queens.
New York Tribune
AS far back as the time of King Athel-
STAINS reign in England the art of en-
brofdery had reached a high standard
throughout Continental Europe. The four
sisters of the Briton ruler were famous
Tor their needleWork, and for another
quality they possessed, namely, that of
attracting a remarkable number of suit
ors, who were drawn, it is asserted, by
the charms that this feminine accom-
pllshment gave to the fair workers. The
wife of Edward the Confessor had an
absorbing love for the art, in which she
excelled many noted women of her time.
In those days the Anglo Saxon mobiles
We're known abroad by their gorgeous
costumes, woven Of silks and woods and
embroidered heavily, and this work took
the place in Continental esteem that is
today occupied by the Eastern embroid-
cries brought into England.
The English embroideries were so much
priced that the popes and other poten-
tates were pround to accept gifts of gar
ments made by the needle women of
England. Throughout Europe the finest
specimens were done In the epoch bound
ed by the South Kensington museum. in
London, piece of the finest work of
that time Is exhibited. It was done by
Englishwomen some time about the wear
of 1850. The subject Is Scriptural, as were
many OF the most noted pieces of the
age.

ANTITRUST PLANKS

campaign committee, member of the
American Car Builders association, and
director of the Western National bank,
of New, is at the West hotel. Though at
one time a prominent figure in the af-
fairs of the Democratic party, Mr.. Canda
has retired from active political work
The Democratic party" he said last
night, "can never win on the free silver
issue. I'm not sure that Bryan is even
presidential possibility. 1t Is by no
means certainty that he will be nomi-
mated. All talk about Van Wyck for
president is sheer ninsense. No sensible
persons really suppose for a moment that
the people of this country, outside of New
York, will stand for a man who is sup
posed to. represent Tammany.
Tt is very difficult TO say, at this time,
who viii head the Democratic forces or
what the party war cry will be. 1t may
be anti-expansion or anti-imperialisln or
antitrust think 1T extremely probable
that an antitrust plank will be inserted
in the platforms of both parties"
