men \! WHO " FORMED \
OIL TRUST GONE
OLD RECORDS SHOW INCORPoRA-
TORS OF MISSING COMPANY.
None Of the Original Promoters of the
Concern Is to Be Found in the State,
nor Can the Marshal Locate the Com
/, pany or It's Officers.

While the United States marshal has
been unableS to find the Standard Oil
company of Minnesota to serve papers
connected with the government prose-
cution Of the oil trust, much light is
thrown on the mysterious company by
the old records on file with the secre-
tary Of state at the capitol, st. Paul.
But the records, tho they reveal the or
ganlzers and ,proHoters of the company,
sons within the state now interested
with the Standard Oil interests.
The articles of incorporation of the
Standard Oil company Of Minnesota
were filed with the secretary, Of state
June II, 1887, with a capital stock of
$lO0,0OO. The incorporates, as on rec
ord. were William H. Conver of st.
Paul, William P. Thompson of New
York, and David S. Cowles of Rye,
n: 7. These, with George f. Gregory
Of Brooklyn, N. Y, and Horace A.
Hutchins Of New York city made up
the first board Of directors. The cap
Of $500 each, and the cooperative limit
of Indebtedness fixed at two-thirds the
amount of the capital. =.
.. Increased the Stock.
:. Jan. 20, 1890, an amendment was fled
increasing the capital from 100000 to
$500, 900. At that time David S. Cowles
was president and w H. Conver .secre-
tary.
Aug. 6, 1891, another amendment was
filed reducing the number of members
on the board Of directors from five to
three. At that time there is shown to
have been change in the officers The
amendment is certified by F. B. Squires
as president and w. G. Kiesel as secre-
tary. .-
William H. Conver is still in st. Paul,
but for fourteen years has had moth
ing to do with the Standard company,
nor has he even been in the oil bust
ness. William P. Thompson died some
years ago. David S. Cowles is out of
the oil business and does not live in
Minnesota. F. B. Squires is now man
aaer for the Standard Oil interests at
Cleveland. W. G. Keisel, who was the
head of the accounting department of
the Minnesota Standard company. in it's
palmy days, has not been with the trust
for fourteen years. Z
A man who was once prominently
identified with the Minnesota Standard
Oil company and knew all these men
as business associates, says that none
ever owned any stock, or if they did,
the stock was made in their names with
a, transfer on the back Of it to the trust
in the east which originally created the
Minnesota corporation, and which has
now permitted the agents of the Stand
ard Oil company Of Indiana to super
sede in this territory to the business
formerly handled by the Minnesota
subordinate corporation.

That De "a higher sphere should an.
As though upon the soil below,
A plant so tender could not grow.

But gently bore His gem away.
His motler watched him fade with
aching heart and dimmed vye.
And often by his side did pray,
THAT fit weuc his gracious win,
lie might Ice spared 10 cheer her stlll
To leave hlm longer lie refused.
He wished him with Himself 70 be.
The silver cord He gently l0osed.
Aud set his longing spirit FREE,
Which through the swelling wave
He bore

Two Rich AIN Ladies' stricken.

Last Friday morning, the
neighbors Of Mrs. Frank X Gil
lett, vino usually stirs around as
early as any Of them, noticed the
unusual quiet and lateness Of the
hour for no one TO be stirring,
and this caused them 30 make an
investigation. Looking through
the window Mrs. Gillett was dis
covered lying on the floor. The
doors were all locked, and Mar
sinai Bankson was sent for. Up
on forcing the door open, Mrs.
Gillett was found lying on the
floor utterly helpless from what
seemed to be a stroke of paraly-
sis. DR.. Allen was sent for and
so pronounced the case. Mrs.
VIM. Ulrieh is reported as saying
she left Mrs. Gillett about nine
O'Clock Thursday evening in her
usual apparent good health and
of course she was stricken be
tween that time and nine O'Clock
Friday morning, the time Of the
first discovering her condition.
Her whole right side is complete
ly paralyzed and her tongue is 50
affected that she cannot speak
though she seems to be con.
scious. Her neighbors are do
ing for her all that good neigh.
bors can and while at this time
there seems to be little prospect
of her recovery yet it is hoped
that she may recover. Her son.

He is a sign painter and if he is es-

It happened that he owed Dr.0ber-

WITH THE EDITORS.

The Syrian leper Rashid is a fit
object for pity. Health officers of
Maryland and West Virginia have
been dumping him back and forth
from one state to another in ridicul-
Gus manner. Their actions surely
prove that the silly season is upon
US. These officers have in reality,
although not Intentionally, been do
ing their best to arouse needless
alarm. According to the best au-
thorities there is no danger in the
leper's presence as long as he is
kept under reasonable surveillance.
The horror of the disease with which
the Syrian is afflicted has by science
been rendered thing of the past.
at least in this country While the
affection is ineurable. it has been
shown not to be contagious in the
ordinary sense.
A leper at large is said to be not
SO much of menace to a community
as would be a smallpox victim. 1t
is safe to say that the authorities of
neither Maryland nor West Virginia
would waste much time in pushing
the latter from one commonwealth
TO the other. How much better
it would be for one state to care for
this Syrian and say no more about
the case. As it is. the officers OF
both states have come in for appar-
emily just criticism and in the mean
time nothing has been done for the
sufferer.-South Bend Tribune
