Wood County Contributed Over
$1,000 More Than Reported by

 None of the negroes would admit his guilt and the jailer has not yet been able to fix the responsibility The find was made in the negro prison, and the work is known to have oeen the strate- gem of one or more nugroes. There are a number of theories advanced as to what the negroes intended to do. One is that they may have contemplated picking an opportunity to knock a guard in the head and make an escape while the doors were open. Another is that some of the negroes had a quarrel and were getting ready for a personal affray.
 During the investigation the jailer learned that the pieces of iron were removed from cots. The straps. too, were taken from hunks, number of Ncots being suspended from the cell ing.
 All of the prison officials are con- stantly on the alert for such move ments and Jailer Pinson proposes to gee that such weapons are speedily re- moved from the cells when found

 From Missouri

From Missouri
 Des Moines,, Iowa, Feb. 13.--With the taking of testimony of Frank Northrup and c. F. Lyman of Des Moines, both former Standard oil Company employees, Attorney General Hadley of Missouri today announced that he had made out his case against the Standard oil Com- pany in Missouri and expected to get a decision busting the company from doing business in that State.
 F. R. Northrup, formerly St. Louis manager of the Scofield, Schurmer and Teagle Oil Company of Cleveland, tes- tified that he had oral instructions from the Republic oil Company, after 1t had absorbed the ScofieId Company and the Cleveland Refining Company, not to enter the territory of either the Waters Pierce Company or the Standard oil Company in Missouri, but not to relax the fight on the independent com panies. The letters also instructed him to follow the price of the Waters Pierce oil Company. MT. Northrup testified that he was always given one or two days advance notice of the price of the Waters-Pierce Company. Have you any more letters belong ing to the company which you appro- priated?" asked Attorney Hagerman for the Standard oil Company.
 None of your business" was the hot retort.
 Northrup was manager of the Repub- lie oil Company in St. Louis in June, 1901, when the Republic Company was organized.
 F. F. Lyman of Des Moines testified also that as trayeling agent of the Standard Oil ,Company in 1891 he mad been given instructions to turn orders from the waters-Pierce customers to agents of that company.
 Northrup testified that he received his personal instructions as to non- competition with the Standard oil from Walter Teagle.

The capital stock will be $25,000, of which third has already been subscribed and a good part of the rest is in sight The plant will consist of the foundry, and will probably be located in North Birm- ingham, although several tracts are now under consideration. Twenty five to thirty men will be employed at the first, and this number will later be increased.
 The chief purpose of the plant is the manufacturing of the Dixie stalk cut ter, a device which has been on the market for several years, with home offices in Atlanta. It has recently been made in Philadelphia, but the con. pany decided to erect a plant In this city, owing to cheap price of steel and the elimination of freight rates. John R. Weatherly. the inventor of the cut ter, and chief promoter of the enter prise, is in the city arranging for the formation of a new company, and the subscription to the capital stock.
