Owing to the fact that the question
Of location was not decided upon un'
late yesterday, the street fair did
not open for business in the afternoon
as was expected, but will open for
business today.
Manager Berger yesterday moning
started out to look for a good loca-
tion cut of the fire limits of the city
and late in the day he succeeded in
securing Magnolia park, which is very
suitable place.
He had once put large force OF
hands to work erecting the differ
ent tents forthe shows and preparing
for the opening today. The work will
be completed this morning and the
street fair and carnival will be on in
full blast this afternoon.
AS stated in these columns yester-
day morning, the matter of license has
been satisfactorily arranged, and the
company will pay license of $25 per
day. The company will give the
exhibitions as one show, just as cir
Gus gives the big show and the many
side shows, and the performance will
be considered a continuous one.
Manager Berger stated to- e News
reporter yesterday, that everyone of
his attractions was clean and high
class one, and that no gambling games
whatever are connected with the af-
Sfair. i
) The company has been pretty well
2eTtised over the surrounding coun-
~ during the past few days and 1t is
expected that it will attract a few hum
dred visitors to- the city during the
week. All Of the railroad lines enter
ing the city have offered a special rate
to the city.

HUNTING VOTE BUYERS.
The Grand Jury Makes Effort to Look
Into this Very important Matter.

The Grand Jury Makes Effort to Look
Into this Very important Matter.
The present grand jury of Glynr
county seems to see to- it that all
characters of laws that have been
violated in the past, must cease and
cease at once. In addition to a num-
ber of matters that were looked into
by that body yesterday, they "examin-
ed" witness on the subject of vote
buying at the recent municipal cleo
ton.
The witness had not seen any actual
case of vote buying and as matter OF
fact there was no true bill returned in
the matter.
If the grand jury really wants to
look into the matter of vote buying IL
would seem that that body would sum
mon some of the campaign managers
and colored voters to testify

enc mile north of Dallas.
DR.. T. J. Foster, father of the dead

respected citizens of Dallas.
Atchison made his escape and has
not been arrested yet. The trouble
grew out of Atchison cursing in Fos

him to quit and get uot.
Fosters sister, Mrs. Sanders, and
her daughter saw the shots fred that
killed the brother and uncle. There
were three shots, two struck in the

Declared Last Year.

New York, Dec. 15.-Those persons
fortunate enough to- own Standard OH

present today in the shape Of checks
for their share Of the $4,000 100, :ep-
resenting the tadtth ana last quarterly
dNldehd ol the year. Inc dividends

share which is an increase Of 81 over
the dividends declared az this time

idends for the year 20 Al FER cent, or
$44,0O0,000 in dividends for the full
year.

receipts from the earnings ot luo car'
pGration during the current year ag'

The four quarterly dividends Of the
corporation TINS year are as follows.
,arcn, 20 per cent; June, 7 per cent. :,
september, per cent; November.
10 per cent In the hrst quarter OF
1902, 20 per cent was declared; second
quarter, 10 per cent; third quarter,
per cent, and last quarter, 10 per
cent. The increase in the dividends
during the current quarter IS due to
larger earnings, resulting from sharp
advasnce in the price Of oil. Accord
ing to an official OF The Standard Oh
the corporation carries no surplus,
giving the benefit OF all earnings to
the stockholders.
The Standard Oil Company is now
disbursiug more money to stockhold-

It now ranks second TO the Standard

the Standard Oil Company has paiG to
stockholders more than $275 100000
in dividends. OF that amount John
d. Rockefeller has received more than
$50, 100000. Since 1881 the disburse'
ments Of the corporation run close to
1915, ,O00,0 ,0O0, or nearly four times
greater than the $l0O,000OOO capital

A fair idea OF the magnitude of tho
