Will the Price OF OIL Go Now,
Up or Down?
Producers Say It's Time to
Change One Way or Other.
QUARTERLY DIVIDEND.

says:
About the customary length of time

so that they may begin to look for a
change in the price of the stun that
made Rockefeller famous. Whether the

question" that disturbes the SAUNDERS
Of the men who have oil for sale. Al
though they look on the head of the
great oil company as a big tin god they
like to become semi-sacreligious and
use the name OF the captain of indus
try in a sarcastic way. The price of
oil. some of them say, is bound to
come up just as soon as John learns
about that pipe line that is being sur
veyed through from Galveston, and the
numerous refineries that are going up
over the country. Others aver that
when he hears of it he will drop the
price, let the pipe lines be built then
swallow the whole concern in one big
hungry gulp. As a matter of fact the
Standard Oil company is not loosing
great amount in the field.
Stockholders have received checks
for amounts representing per cent of
their holdings, this being the quarter
" dividend declared last month. This
makes % per cent to be paid in divi-
cends so far this year. The capital
stock of the company amounts to S97,-
500. 900 and the amount distributed to-
day was $4,s75,e00, of which sum John
D. Rockefeller received 81, $4,000

Is MENTALLY DERANGED.
A Wichita Man Wanted to Write an
Opera on Christian Science.


Wichita, Kan, Sept. 27.-Charles
Lewis Lloyd is confined in the. deten-
ton room at the county Jail, where he
will be kept until arrangements have
been made with his friends in Kansas
City. No, for his removal to some
place of rest and treatment Until late
Saturday night Lloyd gave no fndica-
lions Of being mentally deranged. He
visited the office of a telegraph COM
pany and sent various messages all
over the country to churches and
lodges About midnight Saturday
night he went to the Office. inquired
about his messages and left. At
o'clock Sunday morning he returned,
asked for paper and began to write.
As he wrote he sang. 81 am compos-
ing an opera My mother has Just re-
covered from a long illness and
period of observation-disclosures of over
Christian Science. and I have been
inspired to write an opera with that
as the theme" he explained.
He wrote steadily for two hours and
half, singing constantly. The first
message was addressed to the Temple
lodge No. $685. A F. and A. M, Kan
sas City The next was to Mrs. Laura
Lathrop of the First Christian Science
church of New York city. 1t was as
follows: I'VE need help, assistance
and strength at once We ask in the
name name of the +her. Son and Holy
Immediately at the eleventh hour"
After working for more than two
hours, writing all the time at a furi-
Gus pace, Lloyd fell from his chair and
lay stretched out on the floor of the
Office He was removed to a padded
cell At times the young man seems to
be rational and is never violent. In
his mental wandering he confuses Ma
sonry and Christian Science. The last
words he wrote were: Forget what
we wanted to write. We are so sick"
Among the kilograms were some to
the Roycrofters in New York, to a
Kansas City paper, to Mother Nichols
in Grand Island, Neb., to the Curtis
Publishing Co, and to Hexter, a He
brew rabbi in Grand Island.

meeting seem remote.
A dispatch from San Francisco says
that Britt now declares that he is go

AS it was figured that Cans and Britt
would meet in that month, it is evident
now that Cans is to be sidetracked by
Britt in favor of the Denver man.
