What "Standard OIL" Means

There are eight distinct groups OF
individuals and corporations which go
to make up the big standard OIL"
First-The Standard Oil. seller OF
oil to the people, which is made up
of many subcorporations by actual
ownership or by ownership OF their
stock OF bonds Probably no person
other than Henry H. Rogers, William
Rockefeller, and John d. Rockefeller
knows exactly what the assets OF the
Standard Oil corporation are, all
though John D. Rockefeller jr., son OF
John ID. Rockefeller, and William G.
Rockefeller, the able and excellent
business son Of William Rockefeller
and the probable future head OF
Standard OIL, are being rapidly edu-
Gated 10 this great secret.
Second-Henry II. Rogers, William
Rockefeller and John d. Rockefeller,
active heads, and included with them
their sons.
Third-A large group of active cap
tains and first lieutenants, men who
conduct the affairs of the different
corporations or sections OF corpora
lions in which some or all OF the
STANDARD OH are interested.
Fourth-A large group OF captains
retired from active service IN the
Standard Oil army. who only parti-
cipate in feneral way in. the ilnan-
agement of it's affairs, and whose prin-
cipal business is looking after their
investments. These men ale each
worth from 100000 or $10,000,000 TO
$50 900, 900 or SIS 100000. The Faynes
and the Flaglers are fair illustrations
of this group.
Fifth-The estates of deceased men,
bers of this wonderful Standard OH
family, which are largely controlled
by some or all OF the prominent
standard Oilvi men.
Sixth-"S Standard Oif' banks and
banking institutions, and the sys-
tenn of national banks, trust COM

Fire Supposed to Have Been Set
by Some One Sleeping in
the Barn.
AT $50 THIS MORNING

The fire companies responded to an
alarm from box 3S about $3.50 Tuesday
morning. The building burning was a
barn in the rear of Gavin's baker Y
shop on County street.
Fortunately there was no wind or
several houses would have been in
danger.
The barn was burned to the ground
and the bakery and another building
damaged considerably.
The fire was doubtless incendiary or
accidentally set by someone asleep in
the barn.
The loss is about 81 100, $500 of
which is covered by insurance.

The woodwork of the cornice around
the main building was found to be

replaced and covered with copper in-
stead of tin as before.
All of the trimmings on the entire
building are receiving a fresh coat of
paint. Also the janitor's house has
recently been painted.
The inside of the building is being
