ley, a brother of Montgomery God
ley, who was lynched by a mob here
Thursday morning, is wounded and
in hiding at Weir City, Kas., and later
investigation of the trouble between
Officer Hinkle and the Cooley broth

shot which killed the policeman. Two
other brothers, Gus and Jess, are in
Jail at Girard, charged with being i'm
plicated in the murder, but Joe es-
capped. The mother of the Cooley
boys is said to have asked a physician

wound in the neck. She would not
tell the whereabouts of her son, and
the doctor refused to go with her.
The officers revolver, with which he
was killed, has not been found, and

The Standard Oil company advanced
he price of kerosene oil one cent per
gallon on December 10. This makes
3b cents advance since the beginning
of the coal strike. The New York Com
mercial says:
"There has been no advance or the
Standard Oil products shipped to for
eign countries, because there is no coal
strike there, and because there is COM
petition with Russian oil.
"The Standard Oil company has been
using every possible means to develop
the use of kerosene in heating and
cooking stoves since the beginning of
the coal strike. The increased con-
sumption, a Standard Oil official said
yesterday, had been very large. The
general impression in Wall street of
late was that the Standard Oil COM
pany is trying to make its profits
large enough to pay a so per cent. divi-
dend during the present fiscal year."
The coal strike is a Godsend to the
hungry Standard Oil trust. 1t is coin
ing money out of the misfortunes of

My practice at home in four months
is worth that.
True, l have seen a number of pri-
vate patients in each of the cities l
visited, but, as you Americans say, in
no instance have they more than paid
the freight. AS a matter of fact it
has been the physicians of the various
cities who have profited by my visits.
They are my colleagues and am glad
they did, but you see l remained only
two, three, four or perhaps five days.
During that time l was working in
the hospitals, in the clinics. Private
patients began to come in, and they
were operated upon by the local sur
geons who had witnessed my clinics.

BLOCKADE NOT RELAXING,
A Bark with Coal for n British Rail-
road Not Allowed to inland.

La Guayra, Dec. 27.-The Swedish
bark Framnas, from Cardiff, with AIS
tons of coal for the La Guayra-Cara-
cas- railroad, a British concern, arrived
off this port Thursday and was or
dered to remain outside the blockade
line. Friday orders were conveyed to
the captain of the bark to leave. This
step was taken because the coal was
considered contraband of war. The
vessel was not seized, as she left Car
diff before the trouble with Venezuela
commenced. The captain of the Franz
mas is awaiting orders from his con-
signees.
The Dutch consul here has asked
for and obtained the permission Of
the commander of the British cruiser
Tribune to send q schooner to Los
Roques, a group of small islands about
one hundred and twenty miles north
of here, where the charcoal burners
who trade with La Guayra are at
present without provisions or water,
their sloops having been seized by the
b~lockaders. The schooner must car
ry a flag of truce. She can only take
enough provisions to last the trip,
and she will remove all the inhabi-
tants of Los Roques to Willemstad,
Curacao, and then return here.
Two schooners were captured this
morning. The total number of craft
taken by the blockaders is now 20.
