 If,after studying the Drospectus,you wish to invest, you may remit direct to the Company, with the mutual understanding that your money Will be returned, on demand, in accord auce with the company's pledge Of redemption.
 It Is realized that there are some who cannot conveniently satisfy themselves as to the standing Of the Company and who would not, with out this information, feel sure that the Company's pledge Of redemption would be kept if return of money were demanded Supposing you to be one of the number, the Company has arranged with the Los Angeles Ma tional Bank to receive and hold your money in trust for thirty days, sub ject to your order within that time.
 According to this arrangement you may write the Company ordering the number of shares you want and in- stead of sending the money to the Company send it to said Bank. On receipt of your order and a notice from the Bank that the money Is there, a certificate for the shares ordered will be mailed you by gis- tered letter at once. By registering the letter the Company will know that you have received the certificate. Send draft or money order, making the same payable to the California Consolidated Petroleum Company. The following is a suggestive form of instructions to the Bank.

DEPARTURE DELAYED.

CAPE TOWN, Saturday, March 81
The departure of the British transports
with the Boer prisoners for st. Helena
has been delayed. in consequence of
the increased sickness among the pris-
oners. Three died to-day and twelve
have died during the week.
Arrangements are being made to
prevent overcrowding. The prisoners
do not complain of their treatment or
their food. Many of Gen. Cronje's
men when captured were completely
worn out with the hardships they had
undergone, and little strength was left
them to fight disease. Moreover the
confinement on shipboard is very irk-
some to men who have been accustom-
ed to outdoor life.

THE FRANKLIN CIRCUIT COURT
WILL MEET TO-DAY AND PROCEED
AGAINST THE ALLEGED As
SASSIN OF GOEBEL.
THE MOST IMPORTANT SESSION
IN THE HISTORY OF CRIME IN
KENTUCKY.
The Names of Those Whose Cases
viii be Observation-Disclosures
Not Expected TO be Returned Be-
fore the Last of the Week.

FRANKFORT. KY, April 1.-The
converting of the April term OF the
Franklin Circuit Court tomorrow,
with Judge Cantrill sitting, marks the
beginning of the late Governor GoebeL,
and on this account, makes it the most
important in the history of criminal
trials in this State in many years. The
session of the court will be taken up
mainly tomorrow, with preliminaries.
Judge Cantrill's charge to the grand
jury, always vigorous and comprehen-
sive, is looked forward to with more
than ordinary interest. The grand
jury will probably get into working
order by Tuesday and the assassina-
ton cases will be the first matter ia
ken up. 1t Is understood that Com
m~onwealth's Attorney Franklin. who
will conduct the prosecution on the
part of the State, has had ~subpoenaes
issued for many important witnesses
and others will be issued as soon as the
court gets down to work.
The names of the suspects who have
already been arrested and whose cases
have been referred to the grand jury
for investigation are: Republican Sec
rotary of State Caleb Powers, Judge
w. l.. Hazelip, Lakeland; Henry
Youtsey, Frankfort; j. L. Sutton. Will
liamsburg; Harland Whitaker, Butler
county; Silas Jones, Whitley county,
and John Davis, Frankfort. Warrants
are also out for ex-Secretary of State
Charles Finley, Captain John l.. Pow
ers, of Knox county. and "Tallow
Dick" Combs (colored), all of whom,
been arrested. 1t is not probable any
indictments will be returned before
the latter part of the week at the ear
Hest, and il the prosecution makes
good its claims. the investigation will
involve a large number of others
against whom indictments will be re-
turned. The general impression pre-
walls that none Of the trials will come
up at the present term, and it is IN
derstood that the defense, probably in
every case, will move for a change of
venue to some other county on account
of the heated state of public feeling
here. Republican Adjutant General
Daniel r. Collier, so far as known, Is
the only one of the contestants who
is in the city tonight.
Col. T. C. Campbell, special counsel
for the prosecution, was in conference
with Henry Youtsey, one of the men ar
rested, for a long time. at the Jail this
afternoon. Col. Campbell declined TO
| state what passed at the conference.
The attorneys for the prosecution per-
sistentIy claim that they nave more
damaging evidence against Youtsey,
connecting him with the crime. than
against n of the others so far ar
rested, and it is said that the state
ment made by Culton has Strengthened
the case against him.
Republican leaders profess to not
know the plans OF Republican Cover
nor Taylor, but it is generally believed
he will not return here for some time.
