John D. Furnishes Beautiful Oil Cans

With relentless hand, the Standard
St. Paul to crush competition and to
become absolute dictator Of both the
wholesale and retail oil and gasolene
market in that city.
Several months ago the Standard com
pany. started system of oil wagons in
St. Paul to sell direct to the retail
trade. The plan has now, however, been
extended so that the two or three wag-
ons first employed have now been in
creased to twelve, which daily cover all
the residence portion of the city. These
wagons have now cut the price so that
kerosene is doSlt out at 8 cents gal
Ion. 1t costs the grocers 8 cents whole
sale and they still sell 1T for IL cents.
The wagons sell gasolene for ,l2 cents.
1t costs the grocers IL cents and they
still sell it at Is cents.
The Standard Oil company has lately
adopted a new scheme to 'cinch' the
local business. They give out free at all
houses where they are desired, special
house supply cans. These cans are all
supplied with special covers which
lock, and can only be opened by use Of
keys in possession of Standard Oil
wagon drivers. Thus housekeeper
who thankfully accepts a handsome can
from wagon driver, finds when she
sends to the neighborhood grocery to
have it reflled, that it cannot be opened
for filing until she halls a passing
Standard Oil wagon. '~~~
st. Paul grocers at first tried to re-
taliate against the Standard Oil COM
pany for cutting into the local trade by
purchasing supplies from the indepen-
dent companies. .2..>
"But,'o: said one grocer who did not
want to have his name used, 81 found

dent companies did not come to the

don't know whether the Standard is
using an extra good grade now to aid
its own ends in this fight, but: I do
know that other grocers have had the

:. The Journal fund for the family Of
the late Captain John Berwin is to be
kept open with the hope that there will
be further contributions sufficient, with
the insurance, to provide $4,000, the
interest ON which, together with Mrs.
Berwin's pension from the Firemen s
Relief association, will be sufficient
to maintain the family in comfortable
circumstances.
This was the decision yesterday at a
conference between Mayor David P.
Jones, P. B. Smith, president Of the
Chamber Of Commerce and custodian
Of it's fund, and Alderman Perry Start
weather, custodian Of the city council
fund, and a representative Of T b Q
Journal. Chief j. R. Canterbury
was also present as the representative
Of Mrs. Berwin, at her request. These
men request The J o.urn to make
the following statement to the public:
The total Of contributions up to
date is $5,649.60. Mrs. .Berwin is
TO- receive $4,000 insurance from
the A. O. u. .W.,$5OO from the Sons
Of Norway, and $500 from the Fire
from all sources Of $8,449.60. It
will require 5000 to pay off the
mortgage on the home, which will
reduce The fund to $7,849.60. The
endeavor should be made to keep
this fund in tact until, the children
are grown. It should be invested
in securities of absolute reliability,
city or school bonds preferably, to
be held by trust company legally
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1906-01-28

responsible for safe keeping. The
interest on such securities will be
low, but safety should be consid-
cred first. -
The interest, together with the
pension Of $50 a month which Mrs.
Berwin will receive from the fire.
mems relief fund, will hardly be
sufficient to insure a comfortable
income for the widow and four chill
.dren and the maintenance Of Cap
tain Berwin IS mother at a home for
aged women. There should be at
least $4,000 so placed at interest.
which means that about $4,000
more should be contributed.
This, and the circumstance that
voluntary contributions are still be-
ing received, makes it expedient
that further. contributions should
be solicited thru The Journal
fund, which should be kept open
for this purpose. The funds on
hand, however, should be CONSOLE
dated at once so that they may be-
gin drawing interest as soon as pos
s1ble and providing source or III
come for the family.
The only canvass that has been
made was for the Chamber of Com
mesce fund, and it must be that
there are other business firms and
enterprises, as well as individuals,
who have expected they would be-
called upon. All other contribu-
tions, however, have come in volun-
tarily. This statement is made
with the hope that there will be a
further response from those who
wish to show their appreciation of
the heroism Of man who not only
gave his life for another, but has
been instrumental in saving the
lives of over twenty people during
4 his service as a fireman. The amount
needed should come without the
necessity Of resorting to canvass
for contributions.
p. b. Smith was delegated to NAL
IN investigation for the investment
the funds on hand and Mayor Jones
consult with the city attorney as to tt
legal steps necessary for the keeping
he fund intact. i.

GRIPPE ALL OUT OF
s s..s ST. 60: IL FASHION THIS YEAR
Early Frost, Wider knowledge of Hy-
giene and Education Responsible.

Grippe has not been so prevalent
this year as in preceding winters. The
cause Of this falling off Of winter sick
ness is a matter of dispute among the
members Of the medical fraternity, but
they unite in saying that they have
never treated so few cases as this win
ter. One physician says that while last
winter he used over $500 Of a certain
kind of pellets in treating this disease,
he has needed less than 100 this winter
Among the causes assigned for this
falling off in grippe are wider knowl-
edge Of hygiene, early frost and the
fact that druggists have become IA
niliar with medicines used in break
ing Up the sickness in its preliminary
stages. One physician said that while
he had had an increase in the number
Of patients, there. had been notice-
able decrease in the number Of serious
cases; because they all came to him
in the early stages Of the disease in
stead of waiting until it had fastened
itself upon them. FIJI

Bruer Family Has No Definite News
from the West Vet.
The family Of I. J. Bruer Is still in
suspense over the possible loss Of Mr.
Bruer in the Inflated steamer Valencia.
A message has been received from a
lumber firm in washington to the effect
that Mr.. Bruer did not sail on the
Valencia To Offset this, however. the
family had already been apprfsed by a
San Francisco friend that he did sail.
Friends Of Mr.. Bruer still cling to the
hope that he was among the saved, but
has been unable to get in Geographic
touch with the family at home. No word
is expected from the niece who went west
Thursday until Monday. III 4
One thread Of hope is based on an in
terview which, will be sought by Mr.,
Bruers niece with Fred Erickson of St.
Paul, who was saved, and is in g. Seattle
hospital Because of the small size of
the steamer and the ease with which pas
sengers could get acquainted, it is ex-
pected that Eerickson would have met
Mr. Bruer If he were on the boat, and
would remember the instance, because
Mr.. Bruer was from a neighboring city.
