to this position from one
of the lowest places in
the Company's service. Again, = the
young man who came to this country
over thirty years ago, penniless and
fiendless, and who, during the first two
years, earned only $500, working beside
tank foul with the smell of oil but
to-day, there is scarcely drop of oil
consumed in this country which has not
been purchased from his stupendous
organization, the Standard Oil Company.
In another walk of life, we see at the
head of a great college, a man who
chopped wood to pay his way through
school. IN
| The great captains of industry OF to-
day were the poor boys Of thirty years
ago. 1t was not wealthy parent nor an
influential friend who started these men
on the road to fortune; they made their
own opportunities they fought their own
battles; they have won.
What is the secret of their success
What is that irresistible force which has
enabled them to overcome all obstacles,
to surpass their fellow-men? Every am
bilious young man is searching for this
secret. He believes that honesty, So
briefly, perseverance, and determination
are essentials in the foundation on which
to build a successful career, and yet he
realizes that he must possess something
more than these mere prerequisites if he
would achieve conspicuous success
Those who have studied the lives Of
successful men will tell you that they all
possessed certain force of character
the power to mould the opinions and
direct the actions of others. John D.
Rockefeller has often said that he at
tributes his success largely to his ability
| to influence and control the minds oil
men. How to acquire that power is told
| by Mr.. Edward Box in his Lecture, Keys
to Success, f" the most inspiring address to
young men ever heard from an American
platform. Mr. Box does not preach
theory; he gives good, sound, practical
advice. He tells young men just how
they can develop those qualities indis
pensable to success, and win both money
and power. Every word is suggestive
and inspiring.

IN LIBRARY BID.
It Arises Because Of Proposed Sal
airy Changes Rumor That DR..
Hosmer May Resign.

+ Feeling developed at the meeting OF the
library board yesterday afternoon The
meetings of the library board are usually
SO devoid of even the slightest ripple thai
difference Of opinion over the salary
question has created some comment
Among the rumors Is one that Librarian
j. Is. Hosmer had rendered his resignation
The finance committee, consisting Of Di-
rectors Jacob Stone Daniel Fish and s.
Q. Gale, had agreed upon pay roll which
would reduce the salary list at the central
library from s17,95S.s to $4,000 per an
mum by reducing the force and by amend
ing salaries somewhat.
Against this program DR.. Cyrus North
fop resolutely set himself. He was some
what nettled at the meeting yesterday be-
cause he had not been informed Of the
proposed action of the finance committee.
Dr. Northrop complai ned of a lack of
courtesy on the part Of Mr. Fish in not
apprising him at the last meeting OF the
board that revision of the pay roll was
contemplated. At that meeting DR.. North
rop was called away by pressing en-
gagenent When he left he understood
that all that was to come before the board
was the report of the librarian Of the con-
tents OF which he had already informed
himself. 1t appears that shortly after DIR.
.Northrop left the board went into execu-
tive session, Director Fish presenting a
type written resolution relating to salaries
The result of the opposition yesterday
was to re- commit the report to the finance
committee with instructions to report at
the next regular meeting. It is contended

THE RIGHT THING.
A New Catarrf Cure, Which is Rapidly
Coming to the Front.

'SoI'ii'9 10 IHe FtOnI.
For several years Red Gum, Blood Root
and Hydrastin have been recognized as
standard remedies for catarrhal troubles,
but they have always been given separ-
ately and only very recently an ingenious
chemist succeeded in combining them,
together with other antiseptics into a
pleasant, effective tablet,
Druggists sell the remedy under the
name of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets and it
has met with remarkable success in the
cure Of nasal catarrh. bronchial and
throat catarrh and in catarrh Of the
stomach.
Mr.. F. N. Benton, whose address is
care of Clark House, Troy, N. Y, says;
when L run up against anything that is
good [ like to tell people of it. I have
been troubled with catarrh more or less
for some time Last winter more than
ever Tried several so-called cures, but
did not get any benefit from them. About
six weeks ago bought a 5O-cent box of
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and I am glad
to say that they have done wonders for
me and do not hesitate to let all my
friends know that Stuart's Catarrh Tab
let's are the right thing
Mr.. George J. Casanova of Hotel Grif-
fon, West 9Th st, New York city, writes:
Il have commenced using Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets and already they have
given me better results than any catarrh
cure I have ever tried"

... THOUSANDS OF HORSES
Handled Every Year by Barrett e. zim.
norman at Midway Market

Under no other one roof in this cOun
try are there quartered SO many horses
at all times as in the big building out al
the Midway, occupied by Barrett &; Zim
Norman horse dealers
The everincreasfng business Of this
popular firm last year made necessary the
erection Of an addition to the main struc-
ture, and the facilities for accomm odat-
ing hundreds of horses and mules, and
for testing and displaying them easily
and quickly, are certainly most complete
as we'll as interesting.
Mr.. Barrett and Mr.. Zimmerman have
both been in their present business for
about eighteen years, gaining most thor
Ough and valuable experience and have
been partners for about. ten years. They
are now we'll known throughout the
entire country, and as it is perhaps quite
unnecessary to say have built up an i'm
mense business. They have in their en-
ploy a corps of about twenty men, con-
tinually on the road buying fresh stock.
These men are expert judges of horse
flesh and buy nothing that is not in first
class and sound condition, but as an ex-
ira precaution, each horse, upon arrival
at the barns, is given most thorough
examination. On an average, the year
round, there are in the barns, Or in the
large grounds across the street, from six
to eight hundred horses and mules, from
big heavy draft horses down to light
drivers, and mules of all domestic varie-
tics.
This is the most extensive business
of the kind in the United States. Up
ward of 10000 head of stock are annu-
ally handled at these stables. Public auc-
tons. or sales, are held regularly every
Wednesday after the grand annual in
augural sale. which will be held this sea-
son on Wednesday, Feb. 10, at which
horses and mules of all sizes and weights
will be sold to the highest bidder. These
sales are governed by set rules, printed
and distributed among prospective bidders.
These rules are fair in every detail and
are never deviated from. Strangers can
be assured of honest treatment at these
stables: and it is not necessary. as gen
orally supposed. that a purchaser be an
expert judge of horses for Barrett & Tim
norman have. proven themselves worthy
of entire confidence.

HINT FOR INSURANCE MEN
Big Store Men Find Difficulty in Getting
All the Insurance They

The inability Of the department stores
and other large business plants to get full
lines Of insurance in board companies is
bound to have a reaction thinks one of
the experienced Insurance men of the city.
The managers of the big stores have to
do a good deal of scurrying to get full
lines from the recognized fire insurance
companies represented in the city. They
naturally turn elsewhere when the regu-
lar companies here refuse to accept their
full lines. .-'
"This policy on the part of the board
companies is rather short sighted I
think said this man. "Of course, it is
not my business to suggest to them what
they should do, but nevertheless I think
the suggestion is worth something to
them. When more prosperous times come
on insurance companies will probably
spring up on all hands and these store
and business managers remembering the
failure Of the big companies to carry them
through the period of distress will be likely
when it becomes possible, to throw their
business entirely to the new fellows

CLEAR UP KING CASE.
Edwards and Howard Were Wanted
to Answer Certain Afidavits
of the Defense.
GARDENERS Recent Testimony Insures
the Most Serious Charge Yet
! Against DR.. Ames.

Billy" Edwards and Cheerful Charlie
Howard, the two much advertised 'hig
mitt" men, used in the prosecution of the
| municipal cases, did not appear before the
present grand jury to testify against
-Ames. They We're wanted partly for that
| purpose but did not show up in time.
| The mains reason for the county attor-
neys desire to get hold of the two men
lies in the fact that the motion for a new
| trial In the Norm King case will soon
be up for argument. Former Detective
King is now serving sentence at Saltwater
but his attorneys, WEIGH & Hubacheck,
still claim they have hopes of releasing
their client. The testimony of Edwards
and Howard was largely responsible for
the conviction Of King. This testimony,
! 50 it is alleged by affidavits in possession
or the defense, was perjured. Edwards is
quoted in one affidavit as admitting that
his testimony in the King case was false
These affidavits were not admitted by the
supreme court but the attorneys urge they
should be considered and depending upon
them hope that a new trial will be granted
by Judge Simpson.
The truth of these affidavits is said
to be denied by Edwards and Howard who
aver that their testimony in the King case
was absolutely true and further state that
they never made any statements to the
contrary. For the purpose of obtaining
affidavits from these two men to combat
the King affidavits the two men are said
to have been wanted by the state and now
that they have been seen and conferred
with. the state is understood to be ready
for the new trial motion which will be
taken up in the near future.
Gardeners Revelations.
The fact that Edwards and Howard were
wanted chiefly in connection with the
King case is additional proof that the new
charges against DR.. A. A. Ames have
nothing to do with the big mitt graft
AS a matter of fact evidence given to the
present grand jury is the foundation for
the most serious Indictment yet returned
against the former mayor. Like many
other former proteges of Ames, Gardiner
considers himself released from all oblisa-
tons and has finally made full state
ment Of his relations to the graft and to
the then mayor. This testimony shows
Dr. Ames, not as the tool of schemers who
took advantage of his good nature, but as
the originator and beneficiary of the bold
est graft operations which were in effect
during his administration. Gardner has
told how it was Ames himself who insti-
gated collections from abandoner women
had lists Of the various places made UP
and who received lions share OF the
proceeds. There is documentary cOrrob-
GRAFTON for large part of Gardeners testi-
mony and the case is a strong one.
1t is believed that County Attorney
Boardman was largely influential in Sc
curing Gardeners testimony for the grand
jury. his idea being to secure an indct-
ment which should strike more directly at
the heart of the corruption than any other
OF the charges now pending.
