Next week we will have our
summer term of the Circuit court.
At this term the suit brought b"
some meddlesome asses at Middle
bourne about our macadamlzed
turnpike will be tried. This IS the
only decent road In the county the
meddlesome officials haven't dime
in the road nor never did have, they
use 1t freely, compliment it
highly but have been annoy,
ing the projectors for years with
suit for damages, 1t Is about
the meanest piece OF business we
know of. The county officials have
never looked over the hooks, have
never taken Minutes time to look
Into the affairs of the company but
have brought a suit for danages
The whole matter will be AIRED
next week and tnen some people
will be wiser than they now are
but it will cost considerable money
TO find ont what might have been
learned for nothing.

THE OIL MARKET

The directors of the Standard
Oil company Aug. 5th declared a
dividend for the third quarter of
1902 of only S. share, which Is
So a share less than the dividend
paid for the same quarter OF 1901.
This caused much disappointment
In Wall street, and Standard on
stock broke IS points 10 67c. John
D. Rockefeller's income, therefore,
for three months will BE- 81 100000
less than it was the same three
months of last wear.
Neither Mr.. Rockefeller nor any
OF MS representatives would give
any explanation of the reduction.
Wall street is mysti6ed and are
guessing what the railing of
means. There has been no reduc.
ton In the price OF oil and the con
sumption of oil, it Is said, has been
much larger since the coal Strike
than 1t was before. Thousands OF
people who, when coal was cheap,
used 1t for fuel and cooking pur-
poses have been forced to use ker.
osene recently.
One CT the Wall street theories is
that the Rockefeller interests are
anxious to pick up all the floating
stock they can get hold of, and this
is the method of causing holders to
sell at reduced prices. There was
very little floating stock. however,

outside market. Less than 100
shares were offered for sale.
The Standard Oh company has
no fixed dividend rate. The direc.
tors meet every three months
and apportion certain amount
of their earnings to the
stockholders. Last year the
August dividend was So dollars a
share, and the total for three quar-
tiers was $40 share.
The dividend today makes the
total thus far $50 a share for the
nine months. 1t will be necessary
tor the directors to declare SIS a
share In November In order to
make the annual dividend as large
as that of last year.
The Standard Oil company makes
no report to Its shareholders, and
they have to be content with what
ever the directors award them. Up
ID this time there has been no cause
for discomfort. From 1891 to 1895
the company paid annual dividends
of IL per cent.
In 1896 the rate was increased to
81 per cent; In 1897 80 per cent was
paid; In 1898, 80 per cent; in 1899,
g per cent, and In 1901, 48 per
cent. Mr.. Rockefeller owns about
40 per cent of the entire capital
stock. His income from this stock,
for the last three months, there
fore, has been 100000. He
will receive a check for this amount

dividends by writer's who are not
familiar with conditions In the oil
regions are quite amusing and were
1t not that most of them are mis-
leading In their character might be
passed without unusual attention.
The statements are mostly mislead'
ing because of the failure OF the
writers to understand the cause tor
the reduction. The causes 10 those
familiar with the conditions OF the
oil industry are quite apparent.
The reduced production OF all old
districts in which the Standard on
company have their pipe line sys-
TENS is very great with absolutely
no prospects increasing it again
The reduction In earnings from
this source alone IS very great.
Then the great expense 10 extend
pipe lines into the newer and more
prolific fields must be taken into
consideration and even the drilling
being done In those fields is not
sufficient 0 hold the daily average
production. Il Is true that in not
paying oil producers prices 1ust1-
fed In the markets OF the World"
the earnings Of the great monopoly
have been kept at An apparently
a dividend paying basis O: the mai
gin of difference between the price
at which producers have been
obliged to accept for their crude Gil
and the refined proinct for which
the consumer has been obliged to
pay high prices. The evidence at
hand IS that the producers have as
a rule been unsuccessful during
the past two years In opening up
new pools or finding territory of
what may be termed paying ma
ture. This condition except In q
few unimportant instances, has ex'
listed aud continues to exist. If
the Standard Oil company must
depend on the daily production and
Its ability to supply the markets OF
the world for its dividends, then
the time is not far distant when 1t
will be reasonable to expect a
a greater reduction in dividends to
Its stockholders. Much of the great
earnings of the Standard has been
at the expense of a reduction in
stocks of oil stored by 1t In Its iron
tankage and now these stocks have
reached a point where the heavy
shipments to refners must cease
as the shipments can scarcely be
expected to exceed the daily re-
ceipts. John D Rockefeller will
not suffer because of the reduced
dividends but his contribution the
University of Chicago may be cut
down. 1t was In January 1895
that Joseph Seep promised to pay
the oil producers prices justified in
the markets of the world and the
dividends of the Standard Oil COM
pany took jump from that period
when the Seep purchasing agencies
made practically fixed prices for
the credit balances owned by the
oil producers while the margin on
the refined article was kept. at a
high figure to the consumer. We
believe 1t was John D. Rockefeller
In an address to the students of the
University of Chicago said 'if you
succeed In life 1t will be because
you master yourselves, and If you
are to continue masters and not
s,aves,you do not needth I should
say to you that you must jealousy
guard the approach of any foe to
your we'll being" There Is much
IN Rockefeller's statement for the
oil producers to ponder over.

DEATH IN THE STORM.

One of the saddest happenings dur
ing the stoIan was the death Of a lit
tie girl in the Tisbol neighborhood
in Emmons county. Madaleina, the
12-year-old daughter OF Joseph Fest,
started during the storm to go to her
..uncle's house, about $50 yards dis
tant. After the storm it was fcins
that she had not reached her uncle's
place. Search was made and the lit5
tie. one was found, dead, two miles
from home, within fifty to seventy5fiye
feet of Ludwig Mattern's house. She
had her shawl drawn over her head,
and one OF her hands was gripped
some snow. If the poor little
creature could have held out for a min
ute Of two more she would probably
kaveabeen saved.

RESTORED HIS MEMORY.

An interesting incident in the trial
of C. W. Hill for violation of the pro-
hibition law occurred at Fargo when
A. D. Fisher, blacksmith at Leonard,
was on the stand for the state. He
told the court that he had been a beer
drinker for twenty-three years, but
when he was asked to state what the
liquor was that he had taken at Hills
he persisted in telling the states at
torney that he did OF know. Judge
Pollock took the witness in hand and
in his characteristic manner he said
to the witness, "What in your best
Judgment sir. was the liquor you
drank?" Fisher repeated his former
reply to Mr.. Smith and said II don't
know" Judge Pollock sat aghast
and after a moments hesitation he
said: .'Mr. Sheriff take this man and
lock him up until he cover the
memory which he appears to have
lost" The witness quickly found it

while and when the court was ready
for him it allowed him to return and
take his place on the stand again. Mr..
Smith repeated his questions and the
witness sWore that he had drunk both
beer and whisky on the premises OF
the defendant. Ut wa happily mo-
ticeable how promptly other witnesses
answered the questions put to them
by the attorney for the state.
