As a Company it Deals
in Nothing but

NOT BACKING PARKER
Denies Charge That Ring Has
Been Formed to Rule
Industries.

New York, Oct. 26.-Indignant at ac-
cusations made by Thomas w. Law
son in his story of "FrenZied Finance
and the Crime of Amalgamated Cop
per" John ID. Rockefeller came down
from his residence i'll Pocantico Hills
yesterday. assembled the directors of
his Standard Oil company at his office.
26 Broadway, and issued a formal
statement denying the charges.
Mr.. Rockefeller denies specifically
that he took part in securing the nom
ination of Alton B. Parker for presi-
dent. as Mr.. Lawson alleges he did. to
get revenge on President Roosevelt.
signed by Attorney.
The statement, which is put ont un-
der the name of s. c. T. Dodd. of coun-
sci for the Standard Oil company. is
as follows:
In view of the many false and mis-
leading statements from various
sources. the directors of the Standard
Oil company deem it advisable to
state TO the company's shareholders
and the public that neither now nor
at any time has the Standard Oil com
pany. or any of it's constituent COM
panies. been interested in any business
not directly related with and neces-
sary to the petroleum trade.
Alleged Connections.
1t would be almost impossible to
designate in this denial the different
classes of business with which ire
spOnsible parties have coupled the
Standard Oil company name, but it
may not be amiss to specify copper
steel, banks, railroads and gas (other
than natural gas) as being most prom
inently mentioned. With none of
these affairs has the Standard Oil
company been at any time connected.
Individual members of the Standard
Oil company have been and are inter
ested as individuals in various enter
prises. but this is entirely utside of
the business of the Standard Oil com
pany, which is oil alone. unaffected by
other interests in which its stock
holders may invest

tion of any candidates for Office. as is
so positively stated.
Furthermore, it is entirely untrue
that there is any STANDARD Oil party
banded together for speculation in
stocks, as is SO commonly charged.
The name of Standard Oil company is
frequently used by designing persons
in the manipulation of the stock mar
ket, but its use is u2warranted.
ReusOn for Statement.
The Standard Oil company departs
from its usual custom in making this
denial. for the reason that the state
ments being made at this time by
newspapers, magazines and sensation
al public speakers appear TO be unus-
ually mendacious. and may. to great
extent, mislcad the public.

Sales at Fairs.

Sales at fairs have long been fea-
ture of the English cattle shows. In
fact, they have become SO general that
many of the English shows are really
market days and are held at frequent
intervals. Sales have played a more
or less important part with American
exhibitors, but have always been made
privately, and fair officials have taken
little or no interest in encourag ging
them. There would seem to be an op-
portunity in this country for advance
ment in this direction. If sale classes
are arranged for and a certain part of
the day set aside for auction sales of
cattle or other produce both the fair
management, exhibitors and general
public might be benefited thereby. 1t
would help the farmer out at the spot
where he is weakest-that is, in mar
keting what he grows.-American

Cleans Ont Vermin.

A writer in the Scientific American
says he has cleared his premises of
vermin by making whitewash yellow
with copperas and covering the stones
and rafters in the cellar with it. In
every crevice in which rat might go
he put the copperas and scattered it in
the corners Of the floor The result
was complete disappearance of rats
and mice. Since that time not rat or
mouse has been seen near the house.
Every spring the cellar is coated with
the yellow whitewash as a purifier and
q rat exterminator, and no typhoid
dysentery or fever attacks the family.

Peruna is known from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Letters of congratula-
tion, and commendation testifying to
the merits of Peruna as catarrh rem
edv are pouring in from every state in
the union. DIR. Hartman is receiving
hundreds of such letters daily. All
classes write these letters, from the
highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor ar
tisan, the clerk, the editor, the states
man, the preacher-all agree that Pc
runa is the catarrh remedy of the age.
The stage and rostrum, recognizing Ca
tarrh as their greatest enemy, are es-
pecially enthusiastic in their praise
and testimony. ~ -.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh.
Catarrh is we'll nigh universal; almost
omnipresent. Peruna is the only abso-
lutte safeguard known. A cold is the
beginning of catarrh. To prevent
colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh
out of its victims. Peruna not only
cures catarrh, but prevents it. Every
household should be supplied with this
great remedy for coughs, colds and SO

Cement Floors for Barns,

From a sanitary point of view there
is no doubt that cement floors are the
best for barns and stables. However,
when putting on the finishing layer, 1t
should be rather deeply striated, which
prevents it from becoming slippery.
The striae should follow system IA
vorable to drainage-that is, the small
burrows should lead to larger ones and
these to the drain in the rear of all
stalls. This is very easily done.
