OIL SUIT IN OHIO
SETS Precedent
INFORMATION REPLACES WORK
OF GRAND JURY IN ANTI
TRUST CASE.
Standard and Its Alleged Constituent
Concerns in Buckeye State Placed
on Trial In the Probate Court at
Findlay.

Findlay, o., Oct. enlarged with
conspiracy against trade" in viola
ton of the antitrust laws of the state
the Standard Oil company of Ohio
and its alleged constituent companies,
the Buckeye Pipe Line and the Man
haitian Oil company were placed on
trial here Tuesday before Judge Gid
con C.. Baker and jury in the pro-
bate court of Hancock county.
In the original information filed last
June by County Prosecutor William
L. David, John d. Rockefeller was
made a party to the suit, but through
the granting of request for a sepa-
rate trial Mr.. Rockefeller will not be
called as a defendant until the case
against the company has been dis
posed of. Mr.. Rockefeller, 1t is said.
will not be summoned as witness
and will not attend the trial.
Suit Sets Precedent.
If the manner Of instituting the
suit-by information instead Of by
grand jury indictment-andt the juris-
diction assumed by the probate court
are upheld in the higher state courts,
the case will assume added impor-
lance, as indicating an easier and
more direct method for action against
alleged trade conspiracies.
Both the manner of bringing the
suit and the Jurisdiction of the pro-
bate court have been questioned by
the attorneys for the defense, but
Judge Baker has decided against them
on all points, and no appeal can be
taken on these preliminary questions
until after the case has been tried.
Judge Assumes Jurisdiction.
Judge Baker ruled that violation
of the Valentine law constitutes mis-
demeanor and that the last session
of the legislature gave probate courts
concurrent Jurisdiction with common
pleas courts over all misdemeanors.
To this ruling as we'll as that on
other technical points, the defense
took exception.
The Valentine law, under which the
action is brought, was passed July 1,
1898. 1t defines a trust deliberately
as a combination of capital, skill or
acts by two or more persons, firms,
ETC., to create or carry out restric-
lions in trade. The violations of the
act are defined as conspiracy against
trade" and punishable by a fine of
from $50 to $4,000 or Imprisonment
for from six to IL months. AS to the
evidence required to convict, the
statute says:
Outline of the Law.
ut shall be sufficient to prove that
a trust or combination as defined ex-
lists, and that the defendant belonged
to it, or acted for or in connection
with it, without proving all the mem
bers belonging to it, or proving or
producing any article of agreement
or written instrument at all. The
character of the trust or combination
alleged may be established by proof
of it's general reputation as SUCH"
The information, to which the plea
of mot guilty" has been entered, al
leges the formation of the STANDARD
Oil trust" in 1882, and its continuance
to the present time in domination of
the oil industry of the state, contrary
to the statutes of the state.

president of the Great Northern rail-
road, sold 75O,OO0,OOO tons of ore to
the United States Steel corporation

There may be few million tons of
ore and a few million dollars, more or
less, involved in the sale, but it is
the biggest transaction in the history
of finance in this country since the
formation of the steel corporation
itself, and the whole gigantic deal was
accomplished by five men in the space
of a couple of hours.

HAD IT ALL FIGURED OUT.
Couple Not Only Were Going to Live
But Become Rich.

Lord Sholto Douglas, who was an
rested recently in Maine through an
error, was congratulated at a Port.
land hotel on the courtesy he had
shown in pardoning the erring Maine
police.
why shouldn't I pardon them?"
said Lord Douglas, laughing. They
did their duty. Their calculations
were wrong, that is all.
Il admit that their calculations were
absurdly wrong. They reminded me
of young lady used to know when
l lived in the west.
This young lady, whose family was
we'll to do, announced to her father
one night that she was going to marry
a penniless man.
eff you marry him. her father
grumbled, how on earth will you liver
"'Oh,' said the girl, confidently, we
have figured that all out and it is
very simple. You know that black
hen bought last week"
Eyes. What of it?'
"'Well, 1 have consulted the best
poultry circulars, and they all agree
that a good hen will raise 20 chicks
a year. That means that next sea-
son I shall have 81 hens. These at
the seasons end, each having raised
her 20 young, will give me 420 in all.
The next season there will be S,400,
the next 10000. and the next $780,
900. Just think of that! With chick
ems at so cents apiece we will then
be worth s1,6S5,O00. So you see, papa,
you needn't worry about u.s."

John Bunyan's Cottage.
MIN N.

The cottage in which, according to
tradition, John Bunyan was born, at
Elstow, is reported to be much dilap.
idated, and writer to London pa,
per suggests that 1t be purchased by
the nation and preserved. The build
ing is typical little English cottage,
a picture of which Is printed in some
lives Of Bunyan. In memoir OF
Bunyan, written as long ago as 1889,
Rev. Henry Stebbing complained that
"the present occupants seem no more
interested about Bunyan than are any
other of the villagers; they have no
story to tell, no fancy or vision to de-
scribe with reverent looks; and the
stranger is allowed to leave the cot
tage without having received the least
encouragement to guess in which room
Bunyan was born, or on what side
of the fire he used to sit, or whether
there be tree of any kind reported
to be planted by his hand" This in
difference to the fame of the Bedford
tinker is, we fear, spreading. "Pil-
grim's Progress" is not thumbed by
the children of to-day so diligently as
by those of a generation or two ago.
In many families there is less distinct
religious life, and the old line between
Sunday" reading and that which Is
appropriate for week days is rapidly
fading. In this liberal era the re-
fined humor of Buster Brown" and
the "Katzenjammer Kids" is left to
do the work once performed by Chris
tan, Greatheart, and Mr.. Valiant-for-
Truth. If ever we fall back into that
stage of unsophisticated piety which
makes it seem worth while for man
to glance at the pages of a good book
at least once a week, Pilgrims Prog
ress" must resume it's primacy in
Sunday reading, says the New York
Post. In the meantime a grant from
the British treasury would seem SUI
perfluous. There must be many per-
sons whose memory of happy Sunday
afternoons spent on the road to the
Celestial City will prompt them to
subscribe a small sum for the pres
ervation of Bunyan's birthplace.

LOOSE TEETH
Made Sound by Eating Grape-Nuts.

Proper food nourishes every part Of
the body, because Nature selects the
different materials from the food we
eat, to build bone, nerve, brain, mus
Gle, teeth, etc.
All we need is to eat the right kind
of food slowly, chewing it velour
digestive organs take it up into the
blood and the blood carries 1t all
through the body, to every little nook
and corner.
If some one would ask you, 'Ts
Grape Nuts good for loose teeth?"
you'd probably say. No, don't see
how it could be-" But woman in
Ontario writes:
For the past two years I have used
Grape-Nuts Food with most excellent
results. 1t seems to take the place
of medicine in many ways, builds up
the nerves and restores the health
generally.
"A little Grape-Nuts taken before re-
firing soothes my nerves and gives
sound Sleep" because it relieve ir-
ritability of the stomach nerves, being

ALMOST A
STAMPEDE
AT OPERA HoUSE-CRY OF
flight" FROM GALLERY LEADS
AUDIENCE TO THINK
THERE ATTIRE.

A cry of Fight" from the gallery
at the Opera House Tuesday night
sounded like Fire" to the audience
below, and for time there was a reg
ular stampede, in which some mem
bers of the audience would doubtless
have been injured but for the presence
of mind of City Marshall Morgan. The
fight started when Special officer
Samuels tried to make an obstreperous
negro in the gallery take seat. The
negro refused and showed fight, and
things were lively till the negro had
been subdued and taken away. When
the fight started some one set up
cry of Fight" 1t sounded like Fire
to the audience below, and also to
Ed Guest, who had charge of the
lights back of the stage. The lights
were turned low at the time, but when
the cry was raised Guest turned the
lights on full force that the audience
might see clearly their way out Men
and women came Ccll-mell over the
backs of seats or any way, everybody
for himself or herself. Officer Nor
gan saw the danger pnd rushed to the
entrance to quiet the crowd before
they started down the steep steps to
the st.cetc. He succeeded in meas
ure, and all got out safely, few of them
to return, for the attraction of the
evening. "Maplewood Farm" was as
bad as the behavior in the gallery
strictly on the bum"
1t has really reached a point where
many of the best people of Columbia
do not care to lend their presence
and encouragement to the so-ealled
attractions" at the Opera House.
There has not been a reasonably good
show in the house under the present
management, and the order, or rather
disorder, at times has been disgrace,
full. The attraction" Tuesday night
was presented by a company which
| appeared here in September, and was
simply playing a return engagement
under a renovated Oame.
1t is safe to say that until the man
agement decide to bring some shows
to Columbia worth going to see, and
decide to keep decent order in the
| house. the patronage will be slim and
will grow smaller all the time.

FOR FIRST TIME
IN ALL HISTORY
JEW IN CABINET OF AMERICAN
PREsIDENT-cHANGES SOON
TAKE PLACE.
o. S. sTRAUs FOR SECRETARY OF
COMMERCE AND LABOR.

WASHINGTON, oct. 29.-The fol-
lowing statement regarding prospec-
tive changes in President Roosevelt's
Cabinet was made public at the White
House tonight:
Oct. %, 19O6-On the retirement
of Secretary Shaw and Attorney Gen.
eral Moody from the Cabinet the fol
lowing changes will be made:
Secretary of the Treasury, George
B. Cortelyou.
Postmaster General, George Won
L. Meyer.
Attorney General, Charles j. Bon
aparte.
Secretary of the Navy, Victor H.
Metcalf.
Secretary of Commerce and La
Dor, Oscar s. Straus"
The general understanding for some
time has been that Attorney General
Moody will retire on the first of the
coming January and that Secretary
Shaw will follow him on the 4th of
March. On the first of the year, there
fore, Mr. Bonaparte, who is now Sec
rotary of the Navy, will succeed Mr..
Moody as Attorney General and he will
in turn be succeeded by Mr.. Metcalf,
Straus. Mr.. Cortelyou, now Post
the latter's place being filled by Mr..
Straus. Mr.. Cortelyou. now POST
master General, will take Secretary
Shaw's place on the 4th of March, at
which time Mr. Meyer is to become
Postmaster General
The announcement of the prospec-
tive changes in the Cabinet was made
following protracted Cabinet meet
ing earlier in the day, at which 1t is
said the whole matter was considered
fully. The changes contemplate the
introduction of two new men in the
Cabinet, Mr.. Meyer and Mr. Straus.
The fact that Mr.. Meyer was to have
a place in the Cabinet has been
known for some time, but the name of
Mr.. Straus has been mentioned only
| incidentally, If at all. in connection
with the circle of the Presidents adj
visors. The transfers of Messrs. Cor
telyou to the Treasury, Bonaparte to
! the Attorney Generalship. and Met
calf to the Navy have been generally
accepted as among the probabilities
| for some time.
Mr. Meyer, who will become Post.
| master General, is Ambassador to
Russia, to which place he was appoint.
ed March 6, 1905, having been promo
ted to that office following his service
as Ambassador to italy from 1900 to
1905. He is a native of Massachusetts
! and has been well-known as business
man.
The appointement rStraus caus
ed considerable surprise, as it will be
the first case where a citizen of the
Hebrew faith has been made mem
Der of the Presidents Cabinet. He
was born Dec. 3, 1850, and is we'll
known as merchant, diplomat and
author. He represented the United
States as Minister to Turkey on two
different occasions and was appoint
ed by President Roosevelt to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of ex
| President Harrison as a member Of
| the permanent court of arbitration al
! The Hague.
