The dead children of Frank Rookie
Teller no longer rest in the family lot
in Lake View cemetery, Cleveland, o.,
where sleep the dead of his brother,
John ID. So bitter is the feud between
the Standard oil magnate and his
poorer brother that the dead do not
rest in peace. Franks friends say that
the monolith John ID. erected over the
family lot was too Ostentatious for
his quiet tastes and that the remains
were removed for this reason.

deeper reason. Years ago Frank
Rockefeller and Captain James Corri-

John ID. Rockefeller to carry through
an iron mine deal, giving Standard oil
stock as security. In a suit that is
still in the courts COrrigan has

ton to know what disposition was
made Of the meat This suggestion
has been made to Health Commits
sioner Reynolds, who now is consid-
ering it, being deferred from adopting
1t by the repugnance which is felt for
the trade.
There is no market in Chicago for
plainly labeled hor meat Whatever
sales are made, it is said, must be
made by fraud, the meat being sold as
beef. In this the laws are broken and
the dealer becomes liable to prosecu-
ton. No offense is committed by the
sale of the meat as horseflesh.
