sion points connected with the proposed
prosecution win be reached tomorrow.
An important conference was held to-
day at the department Of justice between
Atty.-Gen. Moody, Special Attorney kel-
logg and Morrison and Asst Atty.-Gen.
Purdy. The question Of jurisdiction was
under consideration with view to de-
termining in what court Che action shall
be taken. 1t is probable that st. Louis
or Cleveland win be selected.
The foiT important subjects under
consideration by the government are the
application for an injunction to dissolve
the Standard Oil, to follow the lines Of
tho Northern Securities prosecution;
criminal prosecution Of the company
under the Sherman aeti criminal prose-
cution of the officials for conspiracy
against the United States No final de-
cision was attained today, but at another
Fession tomorrow all the disputed points

But the best case for the government
will be selected as the initiative step
The subjects now under consideration
have no reference to the large number
Of prosecutions under the anti-rebate
law.
President Roosevelt is greatly inter
ested in the prosecution Of STANDARD Oil
The department Of justice is doing every
thing possible for its conviction, and is
acting under his direct orders.

c. A. Hastings, of Lewiston. re-
publican nominee for state treasurer,
was Nexperce visitor Sunday and
Monday. The nomination of Mr..
Hastings vas received with great
pleasure in Nezpercc. He has
served this county as county
treasurer TO the entire satisfaction
of all and has always been aggres-
sive in everything that tends to the
best interests of the county ard
state. The present depository Law
which provides for the payment of
interest to the county and state on
all public funds deposited in banks
was enacted largely through the in
iuence OF Mr.. Hastings. who ad-
vocated il and urged its passage for
years before Il became a law. His
name will add strength to the state
ticket wherever Mr.. Hastings is
we'll known. and Nezpercs county
will show their appreciation of his
nomination by giving him their
hearty support.
