Can You Eat?

j. B. Taylor, a prominent
merchant Of Chriesman, Tex,
says: 81 could not eat because
of a weak stomach. I lost all
strength and ran down in weight.
All that money could do was
done, but all hope of recovery
vanished. Hearing of some won
derful cures effected by use of
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, I con-
cluded to try it. The first bottle
benefited me, and after taking
four bottles I am fully restored to
my usual strength, weight and
health" Kodol Dyspepsia Cure

FEELING MUSIC.

In feeling" music the sound is
conducted from the instrument to
the person by means of electric
wires. instead of the sound waves
merely knocking on the tympanum
of the ear, as in listening to music.
the waves of harmony course clear
through the body, so that the tune
is felt from head to foot. The device
can be attached to any kind OF mu-
steal instrument, so that one can
feel piano, monograph, guitar.
banjo or IA trombone, and if wire
could be attached to every horn a
person could feel the music of a
brass band. Those who have prac-
riced "feeling' music have demon
strated that they can easily discrlm-
mate between the feeling of differ
ent airs as we'll as of different n
struments.

SENSATIONAL
MAGAZINE STATE
NENT DENIED
Special to The Oil Review.

Special to The Oil Review.
New York, Oct. 26.-S. G II.
Dodd, of counsel for the Standard
Oil company, authorized today the
following statement in reply to
the magazine articles of which
Thomas w. Lawson is the author,
in which the Standard Oil COM
pany has been criticised merciless-
ly:
"In view of the many false and
misleading statements from varl-
Gus sources, the directors of the
Standard Oil company deem it adj
visable to state to the company's
shareholders and the public that
neither now nor at any time has
the Standard Oil company or any
of it's constituent companies, been
interested in any business not di-
rectly related with and necessary
to the petroleum trade. 1t would
be almost impossible to designate
in this denial the different classes
of business with which irrespon-
sible 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 prominently men
toned. With none of these at
fairs has the Standard Oil COM
pany been at any time connected.
Individual members of the Stand
ard Oil company have been and
are interested as individuals in va
rious enterprises, but this is en-
tirely outside of the business of
the Standard Oil company, which
is oil alone, unaffected by other
interests in which it's stockholders
may invest. Neither is it true j.
D. Rockefeller or any officer of
the Standard Oil company has Ia
ken part in securing the nomina-
ton of any of the candidates for
office, as is so positively stated.
Furthermore, it is entirely untrue
there is any Standard Oil par
ty banded together for specula-
ton in stocks, as is so commonly
charged. The name of Standard
Oil company is frequently used by
designing persons in the manipu-
lation of the stock market, but it's
use is unwarranted. The Stand
ard Oil company departs from its
usual custom in making this de-
NAL, for the reason that the state
ments being made at this time by
newspapers, magazines and sensa-
tional public speakers, appear to
a great extent, mislead the pub
lie"

TAMMANY AND PARKER.

There is practically no doubt
that the delegation from New Y ork
to the Democratic national conven-
ton will be instructed to vote as
a unit for the nomination of Judge
Parker. But it looks as if the
Tammany men will fight his NOM
ination, carrying their warfare
against him to the convention.
This is in keeping with Tamm-
any,s record in respect to presiden-
tial nominations. 1t has often
been out Of line with its party in
New York respecting the choice
of a candidate.
1t is asserted that Tammany
is for Hearst, but that is improba-
bic for Murphy, the leader, has been
looked upon as a Cleveland man
and strongly in favor Of the nomi-
nation of the ex-president. 1t is
highly improbable that he has turn
ed from Cleveland to the low
priest Of journalism as his choice
for SO high an Office as that of the
presidency of the United States.
Since, however, they may talk,
the Tamrnany delegates to the
national convention will have to
vote for Judge Parker if they are
instructed to do 80, their opposition
will probably not have much effect
on delegates from other states.
1t looks now as if Judge Parker
will have a big majority on the
first ballot, and that lie will secure
the requisite two-thirds vote with
out much difficulty.-Denver Re-
publican.
