OIL INVESTIGATION CLOSE0
RANK INJUSTICE rs SHOWN BY
TESTIMONY ADDUCED.
Report and Recommendations of In
terstate Commerce Commission
Looked for with Interest.

Cleveland, O., May S8.-The Standard
OIL investigation has closed. Congress
and the country will wait with interest
the report of the interstate commerce
commission and it's recommendations
of measures to be taken and legislation
required to regulate this gigantic COR
poration and to force it to conform to
pies in its operations.
1t is known that, while the commits
sioners will recommend some legisla-
ton directed against the Standard Oil
company and other octopus-like cor
porations, they also will use much of
the evidence gathered during this in
Vestigation to proceed against the rail-
roads for rank injustices done to other
shippers in their determinations in ia
vor Of the Standard Oil.
|. From evidence given in the investi-
cation it can be stated positively that
every one of the important railroad
systems of the country truckles to the
Standard, buying from it lubricating
oils at exorbitantly high prices, grant
ing discriminatory rates to all parts of
the country, wherever they can be used
to the advantage OF the oil trust as
against its competitors, giving excess
i've mileage allowances on it's tank
cars, manipulating rates SO that practi-
cally Standard Oil has the benefit of
secret low rates which other oil ship
pers do not know about, and finally,
in aiding the Standard Oil to obtain
information regarding shipments of
their competitors to be used in killing
business of indenen6ent dealers

Here is tip for housekeepers. The
California board of health examined
into the process Of peeling peaches
with hot I've and has said it doesn't
hurt the canned product particle.
The fruit is immersed in hot I've and
quickly passed into cold running water
which washes away the alkali. The
peel comes off like a glove and the
fruit is not handled. 1t is cleanly and
analysis made most carefully shows
no bad effect. It Is worth while to try
1t in small way, though hot lye is
an ugly thing to handle at any stage
OF the game.

FLOOD KILLS THOUSANDS.
Disastrous Overflow in China Sweeps
Away Houses and People Perish
Fire Makes It Worse.

Victoria, B. c., May 25-The steam
er Teucer, which has arrived from
Japan and China, brought further adj
vices regarding the disastrous floods
of the Hal Nang Hao in China. All
the valleys were inundated, homes
were swept away by hundreds and
thousands of men and animals were
drowned. At Hsiangtau the mum
dated buildings took fire and the great
er part of the walled city was de-
stroyed. This news was telegraphed
by the Japanese consul at Hsiangtau,
who says that, although an immense
loss of life occurred among the Chi
nese, none of his nationality was lost.
Human Steamship company steam
ers were still running, but could get
no passengers or cargo. 1t is feared
that the destruction of the rice crop
in the flooded areas will cause fam

RURAL ROUTE INSPECTION
Post Office Department Seeks to Better
Delivery Service in the Out
side Districts.

Washington, May 25.-An impress
sion has been widely circulated that
under some new policy adopted by the
post Office department, inspections of
rural delivery service have been or
dered with view to the discontinue
ance of such service, or it's reduction
from a daily to a triweekly service,
and that this movement has been espe-
cially directed against the southern
states. This is an error. In reply to
many letters which have been received
by the fourth assistant postmaster
general complaining of the alleged
discrimination, the writer's have been
advised that the only purpose of the
inspections of rural service now being
made is to ascertain and remove, if
possible. the cause of any adverse con-
ditions that now exist.

Capt. F. Wagner, formerly master of
the big four-masted bark Schiefbeck,

ship Claverdon, lying at the Oriental

in the notorious "black bird" schooner
Samoa. During that time he was first
mate on the Samoa and captured 1900

.INDICT BRIDGE COMPANIES
OHIO GRAND JURY RETURNS
BILLS AGAINST 10 PARTIES.
County Paid High Prices for Struc-
tures-Capitalist Accused
of Bribery.

Lima, O., May 2S.-Nineteen bridge
companies and agents were indicted
by the grand jury late Friday after
noon, but the county officials refuse
to make their names public until serv-
ice can be had upon them. Thirty
four Indictments in all were returned,
but true bills against the bridge COM
panies and agents were secret" Con-
ditions in Allen county because of the
operation of the bridge trust are re-
ported by the grand jury as even worse
than expected. Of the "a indictments
returned there are two each against
Former County Commissioner T. c.
Burns, George w. Kanawl and Albert
Heffner.
The exposures regarding the bridge
trust operations here are said to be
startling, and show that the county
has paid from three to five times what
should have been the ordinary cost of
bridges. The most sensational evil
dence, it is said, came from the bridge
trust agents, Jones T. Adams, of
Findlay; John Dun, of Columbus, and
John Reed, of Canton, each of whom
was exempted from any legal prosecu-
lions.
st. Louis, May 28.--Assistant Cir
