DECLARE EXCELLENT DIVIDEND

Yesterday afternoon at the regu-
lar monthly meeting of the board
of directors of the Mutual Building
and Savings Association a semi-an-
nual dividend of per cent was de-
clared for the six months ending Jan
uary 1st.
1t was decided to place 200 shares
of stock on the market to be sold only
in lots of ten shares each and the
purchasers must be persons who have
not previously taken stock in the as
soclation. This issue will be readi-
" subscribed for as the demand for
stock has been great.
The affairs of the association, one
of the youngest in the city, are in
splendid shape and a dividend at the
rate of lG per cent per annum is in
deed an excellent showing.

December is Logically the Busiest
Month in the Year.

We expect, however, this December
will be by far the busiest in the his
tory of The Fair. Naturally the
thoughts of nearly everyone are now
frequently directed toward Christ
mas time, which always seems to
come so quickly when once the 1st
of December has passed, and the Sc
lection of Christmas gifts is the hap
py prelude to the still happier mo-
ment of giving gifts. Indications are
that Christmas will be celebrated
more intensely this season than ever
before, and for this reason The Fair
has made broader and much more
extensive holiday purchases for their
patrons. Nevertheless we recon-
mend very early selections, and the
first two weeks of December as a
better time to buy than just before
Christmas.

FINDLAY, o., Oct. 9-The suit of
the state Of Ohio against the Standard
Oil company, in which the company is
charged with conspiracy against trade,
began here today and progressed at a
rapid pace.
A jury was secured in less than two
hours; County Prosecutor w. L. David
presented his case; Virgil P. Kline, at
torney for the defense, made answer;
Attorney G. H. Phelps of the prosecu-
tfon then read documentary evidence
until the court adjourned twenty min
utes before o'clock.
He promises to continue the reading
during the greater part of tomorrow
In brief Mr.. David stated to the jury
that the Standard Oil company became
a trust in 1882. and although it had
several times since changed the form of
i organization it had not ceased to
commit theioffenses of trust.
Replying for the company Mr.. Kline
characterized as matters of ancient his
tory the scheme of the original forma-
ton of the trust. - fnF
The Standard Oil company, he said,
was corporation controlled entirely by
its stockholders; 1T was in no way a
trust.
1t could not be said that any of the
statements of Mr.. David relative to the
early history of the company were true,
but If they were they were not within
the limits of Hancock county and con-
sequently without the Jurisdiction of
the court.
Not in Combination
The company, he said sold some oil
at retail In the county and might own
some real estate here, but the statement
that 1t was in any combination in re-
straint of trade was entirely unsup-
ported by the facts.
The documentary evidence which the
prosecution D began submitting and
which it is said constitutes the bulk OF
its case is contained in a document
authenticated by the supreme court of
the state as the status of the STANDARD
Oil litigation before that body
1t was all objected to by that COM
pany as irrelevant but allowed to go In
by Judge Banker, presiding.
The documents read to the jury today
which occupied the whole of the after
noon session was the statement of the
case for both sides, Including the or
iglnal trust agreement of 1882, the
pleadings of the case before the SUI
preme court in 1892, which resulted In
the order to dissolve the trust; the
pleadings before the same court in 1897
resulting in a journal entry by the
court that the trust had been dis
solved.
The jury before which the case is
being tried is composed as follows: w
A. Sharp, farmer; c. o. Myers, farmer;
Joel w. Shuck, farmer; John p. Oman
farmer; A. L. Bailey farmer; Judd
Bushong, farmer; G. w. Damon, real
estate dealer; Ellsworth Z. Huston
farmer; Grant Gibson, farmer; r. w
Bennett, farmer; Preston B. Gathers
oil man; II. j. Butledge, implement
dealer.

He was compelled to shake hands with
a large number of people until the local
committee on arrangements, headed by

evening, rescued him from the crowd
and placed him in waiting autoD1o-

band, the party started up, Pine ave-
nue. on the way to the tabernacle on
Third street, with the crowd closely
following.
i Crowds lined Pine avenue all the way
to Third street, and Mr. Bell was re-
peated4y cheered.
Ovation for Bell
Arriving at the tabernacle, which
contained a large crowd including
many women, the band marched upon
the stage and rendered number. Mr..
Bell, when he appeared on the arm of
Chairman Long, was given a genuine
ovation, which he acknowledged with
a smile and bow.

while the audience stood. Chairman

Long, and the announcement was hear
tily applauded. 1--WE will also become
acquainted with the next congressman
from this district" he continued. and
another round of applause followed.
''They are not the nominees Of the
Southern Pacific. nor do they wear the
collar of any boss or monopoly. They
are the peoples candidates, and If
elected they will become the peoples
servants and not that of the railroads, I"
concluded Mr.. Long.
He then introduced Robert G. Loucks,
nominee for congress, who was well
received. Mr.. Loucks told OF his futile
efforts to induce Congressman McLach-
Ian to agre to joint debate on the San
Pedro harbor issue and of the machine
methods of the Republicans at Venice
and Santa Cruz. He had the audience
with him from the start, and his re-
marks were frequently applauded.

said dyed-in-the wool Republican to a
Democratic committeeman who went
to the beach city few days ago to
complete arrangements for the Bell
demonstration at that place. "a
That same dyed-in-the-woo Republi-
can was seen at the edge of the crowd
last night and he admitted that he
didn't know how about it,"
Another Republican, who declares
that he has lost none of his Republic
canism by his action this year, in
formed his straight-laced political
brother that he could tell him "how
about it.. He volunteered the infor-
nation that while Long Beach is ac-
knowledged as a Republican strong
hold, there are many Republicans like
himself who have come to the conclu-
sion that the time has come when 1t
has become necessary to purge the
party of the corporation bosses and
machine politicians, and that they
would take advantage of the oppor-
tunity of voting for clean man such
as the Democrats have placed in nomi-
nation for governor as a means Of ac-
complishing their aims.
Strong Undercurrent
1t was freely admitted by several Re-
publicans at Long Beach last night
that there is strong undercurrent in
that city, as well as in other cities of
Southern California, in favor of Bell,
and that while comparatively few Re
publicans have publicly declared their
Intention of voting the Democratic
ticket as protest against the control
of their party by the Southern Pacific,
many have announced privately such
intention, and 1t was asserted that the
count of the ballots on the night Of No
vember would furnish surprise to
those who have considered Long Beach
rock-ribbed Republican city under
any and every circumstance.
Mr.. Bells reception last night was
most gratifying TO the Democratic
managers, and 1t indicated that the Re-
publican sentiment In Bells favor was
not altogether under the surface.
Many men who have been known for
their staunch Republicanism We're pres
ent at the demonstration at the taber-
nacle, and they were seen to heartily
applaud the sentiments expressed by
the Democratic standard bearer
Given a Warm Greeting
For an hour before the arrival OF the
electric car from Los Angeles contain
ing Mr.. Bell and the Los Angeles COM
mittee crowds began to gather on the
streets about the depot and at the end
OF the pier and by the time the dis
tinguished visitor arrived the entire
district adjacent to the depot was
