Through the medium Of the laws en-

been increased many fold. From the
time the board of agriculture was or
ganized. up to the first Of May, 1905.

ency. The correspondence of the Of

New York, Jan 18.-The examina-
ticn OF Henry H. Rogers in the suit
OF the state Of Missouri to oust the
Standard Oil company, has brought
that fnancier strongly into the lime
light within the last week. For years
Rogers has been the real master of
the most perfect and stupendous mo-
nopoly In history--the Standard Oil
company. It is even said that 1t was
be and not John ID. Rockefeller who
first evolved the idea of monopoly.
However this may be, it is certain that
he is today the most powerful active
agent in the money mills of the world.
And yet SO oiled and silent are his
movements that until he took the
center of the stage In the present in
vestigation few were aware that he
generates the directing energy of the
huse machine Of which he is the head
sNlnd eyes-if not the soul.
Probably no man Of equal stature in
the financial arena has had more re
markable career than has H. H. Rog
ers. Beginning as newsboy in New
Bedf~--s and Fairhayen, Mass, he has
risen. risen, risen. But only now and
then has he appeared on the stage
His place has been behind the scenes
But when he has chosen to court the
linelight he has come out exceedingly
strong.
Answering a question few years
ago as to how he got his start in bust
ness. Mr.. Rogers said he had worked
as hard for what he had as any on,
of whom he had ever heard or read

see the little grocery store where he
worked for three dollars week and
saved enough money to carry him to
the Pennsylvania oil fields, where he
was to make his fortune.
As one OF the most prominent trust
magnates OF the entire country. Mr..
Rogers has naturally come in for his
full share Of censure and attack in the
public onslaught against capitalistic
combines. Few men have been lam
basted more viciously. And yet. ac-

ances, there is another side to the
picture When Mark Twain. the great
American humorist, awoke oue morn

failure of a publishing house b, which
he was Interested, ne found himself

ers came to his assistance and, VIC
lating previously unbroken rule OF
his career, acted as his trustee and
benefactor in recouping the Twain
losses is one OF his shining mouu-
ments. His native town also has
many times felt his benefcence

Unioue Street Lighting Plan.

Trustee J. c. Steele o. Santa

plan of street lighting, whereby

placed on the porch of each residence,
would obviate the use of arc lights and
would not only illuminate the streets,
but the residences as we'll, says the
Los Angeles Express. y system Of
porch lights could easily be installed
and would cost the city little more than
is at present being paid 1t would light
the streets better than under the pres
ent arrangement, it is believed.

holders TIE wire attachment will be
made in such manner that the cleo

that this novel plan will be favorably
considered by the board and. if feast

doubt as to whether the committee
erred in fixing the place of holding the
convention in this city, as it is not

to Charles PaKshall the Canandaigua
agent for the Humane society, says the

horse suffered severely from the at

ceived the idea of taking some old
trouser legs and placing them on the
animal, fastening them to the fly net.

rations without stopping to fight flies;
