amusing diversion, to have in time
crushed all opposition and forced the
people and the state into submission.
John d. Rockefeller has been laugh
ing UP his sleeve and %serenely waiting.
1t has amused him to read in the pa
pers that the Kansas legislature had
appropriated $410. 900 for the estab-
lishment of a state refinery to buck
against his $3.50, 000, 900 company. He
has been annoyed, perhaps, at the eff
fort to NEEDLE with his pipe lines, but
he has felt confident that the end
would come in victory for him and the
establishment of his company in the
state on firmer basis than ever before.
He has mapped out a campaign of
waiting. This great financier, this
$3.50, 0O0, 900 money bags, can afford to
wait. for his dollars work while he
sleeps. and he "a keep busy banking
the $50, O00, 900 yearly income from his
investments while the poor KanSans
see their $410, 900 refinery a sink hole
into which to pour the wealth of the
state and the Independent producers
there brought to q state Of sub
mission where they will be willing to
make peace at Rockefeller's own
terms, and if reports are to be credited
Rockefeller's terms are never generous
except to the interests of Rockefeller
himself. He is never satisfied, it is
said, unless he can buy at ruinously
low prices and sell at figures which
tell the story of a fair 60 profit OF
several hundred per cent.
Kansas Fires the First Gun.
Kansas seems to be always doing
things which other states are afraid
to do. or never think of doing, and she
has fired the first gun in this ire
mendous war, and, as Lincoln's call
to arms in 81 was met by the cry
from the different states: I'VE are
coming, Father Abraham, 100000
strong" so the sound of Kansas first
shot at the oil octopus has aroused
the nation, and on every hand, and

Two important items Of John B

Two important items Of John D.
Rockefeller's fortune are frequently
overlooked in making computations Of
his wealth. These are his holdings Of
real estate and mortgages and of gov
eminent and municipal bonds. Both are
so vast that IL VIZ undertook to follow
out the threads that lead to them they
would take us to every part of the Unit
ed States and across the Atlantic.
While Mr.. Rockefeller's real estate
holdings woulI amount to probably
$10,0 900, 600, such investment does not
prove a very attractive venture for the
astute financier. He prefers to let the
other fellow own the real estate and he
hold the mortgage. The city of Cleve-
land is an example OF this. He owns
valuable property there-Forest Hills
and his Tarrytown IN. W estate is
truly baronial in it's magnificent proper
tions, but these are nothing in COM
parison to his mortgage holdings. in
Cleveland he holds a 500, 900 mortgage
on the principal hotel. a mortgage for
a like amount on a large wholesale bust
ness, and banking and street railway
holdings which would bring the total to
SIS, 900, 900 in the Ohio city alone.
But Cleveland is not the only city in

part of it's business on John d. Rookie
feller's money and paying him we'll for
the privilege. New York. Chicago, Pitts

Aston, Mich, March l3th.-(Special)-
After suffering for twenty years from
Rheumatism and Kidney Troubles, and
spending a fortune in doctors and medi-
cines that brought him no relief, Mr..
James Culet of this place has found a
complete cure for all his aches, pains and
weakness, in Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Naturally Mr.. Culet feels much elated
over his cure and gives great credit to
the remedy that gave him health.
YES" Mr.. Culet says, 'my Rheuma.

ney Pills did it. Before | used them /

Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure sick
kidneys. Healthy kidneys take all the
uric acid-the cause of Rheumatism-out

Pills always cure Rheumatism.

Unless it is q case of clouds without
rain, and storm without wind, and cy-
clone without any twister, the tempest
which is gathering about the great
Standard Oil octopus is going to give
that many tentacled trust something
else to do in the near future besides
crushing out competition, forcing up
the price of oil, sucking in the profits,
and declaring the regular quarterly divi-
dend of Is per cent to its greedy stock
holders.
A good many people are beginning to
think that the Standard is the key log
in the trust jam, which is dam
ming up the commercial, industrial
and financial streams of the u
try, and destroying the individ-
ual rights of the common people, and
that if the dynamite of equitable law,
and perfect publicity, can be touched
off, under this key log, so as to COM
pei it to yield to a reasonable adjust
ment and just control, all the other
trust logs will float harmlessly down
the stream of the national life. and the
danger of unlawful combination will be
passed.
But however that may be. certain it
is that a war cloud of ominous proper
lions is arising upon the horizon of
the Standard Oil company's sky. 1t
began to gather in Kansas, that home
of the cyclone, and has spread until
from Texas Il New York and from
the Indian territory through the
prairie states of Illinois. Iowa and In
diana to the capital city or the Po-
tomac, the ominous mutterings OF the
coming storm have been heard. Had
the Standard only had to deal with the
situation in Kansas it would have
been the mereSt child's play. the most

while he is a recognized factor in the
affairs of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company.
Very much the same story as his
profitable investments in iron-ore lands
could be told of his connection with the
lead and zinc mines which were trans
ferred to the trust at a profit that ran
into millions.
Other industrial companies in which
he is largely concerned are the Ameri-
can Linseed Oil company, two of the big
express companies, the sugar trust and
the various organizations known collec-
lively as the tobacco trust.
Not a Railway Man, But
John D. Rockefeller is not known as
a railway man. While there are Van
derbilt. Hill, Morgan and Hartman
systems, there is no combination of
roads known as the Rockefeller system.
Nevertheless Mr.. Rockefeller is the larg-
est individual holder of railroad securi-
ties in the country. He is heavily inter-
ested in the Gould roads-Missouri Pa
cific, Missouri, Kansas & Texas, Texas
& Pacific and Wabash-and it is through
his backing and assistance that George
Gould has beer able to fight his way
successfully against the powerful COM
bination of railway interests in bringing
his lines eastward toward the Atlantic
seaboard. But in addition to this he is
a heavy holder of the stocks and bonds,
more particularly the bonds, of almost
every one of the big eastern lines, as
well as of Northern Securities and OF
half a dozen of the big roads running
out of Chicago. Probably not less than
$50. 600. 600 of his wealth is invested in
railways. And it should be borne in
mind that practically all these holdings
were bought when their market rating
was much less than it is to-day.
The solidity and power that come from
the backing of unlimited millions are
valuable assets for a bank or trust COM
pany. A number of the most important
of these institutions in New York and
other cities have %prospered through the
magic of connection with the Rookie
Teller name. Certain Of these, like the
National City and Hanover banks. OF
New York, the First national of Chi
cago and the two largest banks in Cieve-
land, are known as Rockefeller institu-
lions.
The Country's Richest Banker.
These are by no meal the Measure
Of Mr.. BOOKSELLERS banking interests.
A. well-informed Wall street financier
showed me a list recently of so banks
and trust companies, all of which arc
reputed to be more or less under the
Rockefeller influence. If John d. Rock
efeller had nothing but his bank hold
ings he would be known as the coun-
try's richest banker and would have a
fortune equaled by few in the United
States.
Oil, steel, railroads, banks and trust
companies have not been equal to the
task of providing occupation sufficient
for all the fast-multiplying Rockefeller
millions. Within the past ten years
especially a great many of them have
gone into a particularly lucrative form
of investment-city lighting and trac-
ton companies. Whether SIC, 600, 900 or
$25, 900, 900 more nearly represents John
D. Rockefeller's investments OF this sort
in and about New York it is impossible
to say, but the amount is likely to he
near the latter figure, while he has other
large sums similarly invested In New
England and the central west

him, but he could not talk of it to
others.
He was thinking of her one after
noon when his superintendent came
in and reported that Cassidy, the en-
gneer, had been badly hurt by being
caught in the machinery.
Irwin, always thoughtful of his men,
gave orders that he should have the
best of care, and that evening, on his
way home, he stopped in himself to see
how the injured man was getting
along
"Nicely, Mr. Irwin" said the CRATE

There was the soft sound of a door
opening and Irwin rose to greet the
nurse. AS he did so he grasped the
chair for support. 1t was his dream

A rich Roman who married was re-
garded as a fool. Unmarried and
without heirs, he was cOurted by
crowds of sycophants and legacy hunt

legacies at his death. He was an OBJ
ject of attention to and adulation from
all. Each Roman wed with his neigh
bors in his display of wealth. Osten.

and they buy it from the dealer at a
higher one in order to be able to point

All through the deIirium Jack Irwin
was haunted by the vision of one face.
So real did it seem that when at last
the crisis came and he emerged, weak
and tired, from the dream world in
which he had lived for days he in
stinctiyely looked about for the reality.
Instead there were only his mother,
drawn little out of her natural re-
preston by her joy ut his recovery;
the doctor and grim faced nurse.
'Where's the other one:" he demand
ed as he looked about
Nv hat other One:' laughed the doc
tor.
That girl with the blue eyes" he
asked impatiently. Cant you remem-
ber?"
Mrs. Irwin came forward and laid a
hand upon his forehead MY dear
boy" she explained, you must rcmem-
Der that you have been in a delirium
for a long time 1t must be one of the
dream fancies to which you allude"
Il wish I could get back to where she
is" he sighed, and then he dropped off
to sleep again.
When he opened his eyes again there
was only the nurse. and she would not
let him talk of his decisions. vet some

lievc that this was a part Of his dream.
He could recall in a hay way many
Of the phautasics through which he had
passed, but it was not the same with
the girl There had been something
real. something tangible, about her. He
could remember that all through those
disordcred hours he could see her face
smiling at him and reckoning him on
to safety when the others sought to
lure him into danger He could not
believe, even now, that it was but

Briefly his recounted his strange ex-
perience. You have been in my
thoughts, sleeping and waking, ever
SINCE" he concluded. You are the
only woman l can ever love, and
want you for my wife"
4 must not" she cried, frightened.
Il have promised She caught her
self, but the mischief was done. Bit
by bit he drew the story from her.
She had been called to attend him
when the fever had stricken him. Mrs.
Irwin had warned her against hirta-
ton, being fearful that her son would
marry. She had promised to be care
full, but in his delirium Jack had
seemed to know that she was there.
and one evening, to quiet HIN, she had
brushed his fever burned lips with her
own just as Mrs. Irwin had entered
the room.
His mother would not believe that
the kiss had been given merely as a
part of the nursing. She had been dis
missed on her promise that she would
say nothing, and the rest of the house
hold had been warned to insist that
the angular woman he had found by
his bedside when he awakened had
nursed him throughout his illness.
'NOw, you see" she faltered. 4 am
