State Fair Poultry Show.

The poultry show at the Missou-
ri State Fair, at Sedalia, August
2l-26, promises to be the greatest
within the history of the State. At
the last exhibition, the magnificent
poultry building, erected to accom-
modata $500 birds, was filled far
beyond its capacity Four thousand
birds were on exhibition, and when
in place, the aisles were made so
narrow that it was difficult for the
public to pass through and view
the exhibit. This season a new
poultry building is being erected
80 feet by lG0 feet, with ample
room for 5000 birds, and the indi-
cations are that this commOdious
structure will be filled to the extent
OF its capicity. The union of the
two State Poultry Associations and
the harmonious action which has
followed, assures a grand display of
Missouri birds. Extensive breeders
from other states have spoken for
space. Expert judges have been
employed. Mr.. Miller, the superin-
tendent, will have assistants who
will care for all birds whose ow-
ners are not present. Feed will be
furnished free of charge. Express
companies will deliver all consign-
ments to the poultry buildings.
The best breeders in the United
States will be represented. The
poultry show alone will pay for a
visit to the State Fair.

HOW THEY WORK IT.
The Standard Oil Trusts Scheme
for Missouri Towns.

st. Louis, June 2l.-A. L.
Stoke was the first witness called
by Attorney General Hadley in the
Standard Oil inquiry this morn
ing. lie is st. Louis man, sec.
retary of the st. Louis Oil com.
pany, a small concern that is
fighting the Standard Oil compa-
ny in a small way. He has been
in the oil business in st. Louis
since 1878.
Stoke said oil is graded in four
classes for Illuminating oils. Each
company makes its own grades for
lubricating oils. Most of the oil
sold is for Illuminating purposes.
His company has statesmen in differ
ent parts of the state. Stoke said
he knew the Waters Pierce com
panY and also has some acquaint.
ance with the Standard Oil com.
pany. To his knowledge the
Standard Oil company has never
sold oil in st. Louis. Several
years ago, in 1892 or 1898, he had
visited the Standard Oil company's
plant on the Illinois side of the
river at East St, Louis and
asked the manager to sell in st.
Louis in competition with the
Water Pierce Oil company. The
manager of the Standard Oil com.
pany In Illinois refused to have
anything to do with him.
