STANDARD s SPYSYSTEN
The Statistical Department Keeps Tab on Every Barrel of the
 Worlds Product.
BIG LOANS STILL BATTLE GOVERNMENT
Mir. Kellogg Discovers That Railroads of Country Have Furnished Valuable Aid to OH Trust in Spying upon their competitors--HearinGs In New York Will Adjourn Friday.

New York, Oct. 16.-While hunting Tuesday for some solution of the mys. terious loans, aggrcgating many mil. lions of dollars, made by two of the Standard Oil companys subsidiary concerns. Frank B Kellogg. the gov. ernment's counsel, in it's suit against the Standard, unexpectedly uncovered a department of which little is known. This department s known as the Stat istical department and includes one of the most perfect spy systems in the world. Through it the Standard Oil company has for years kept tab on every gallon of oil sold in the world, has kept a record of every can, barrel or tank car load which has been taken from the oil fields by competitors and has traced the oil to market, learning each charge incurred and the final sell. ing price.
 In perfecting this service, MT. Kel- logg has learned that the railroads of the United States have furnished val. uable aid to the Standard, and, in fact. have made possible the successful out come of rate wars for the Standard oil company of New Jersey and it's many subconcerns.
 While the governments counsel de. veloped more than he expected con. corning the operation of the spy sys- tenn. he was wholly disappointed in his effort to learn why enormous loans were made to P. S. Trainor, James Nc Donald and outside interests" MT. Kellogg has come to believe that the officers and employees of the Standard Oil company are studiously concealing from him the significance of those loans, for always, when he questions concerning them. the answer is the same. No one yet summoned to appear as a witness in the suit has been able to tell why the loans were made. They have even disclaimed knowledge of the identity of those persons included in outside interests to whom the Stand ard Oil of New York loaned s32. .000. 900 last year.
 There is one chance left, MT. Kel- logg says, to uncover the significance of the loan. That will be when Vii. liam G. Rockefeller Is called upon, as treasurer of tho Standard oil company of New York, to produce vouchers showing to whom the s32. .000,00 was paid in 1906. Mir. Rockefeller was to have taken the witness stand late Monday, but when the statistical de- partment came to light Mir. Kellogg decided to pursue that line of testi. mony as far as he could. So Mir. Rock. efeller was probably called Tuesday
 MT. Kellogg announced Tuesday that there there would be an adjournment of the hearings in this city on Friday for a month or more.

IN DEFIANCE OF TH[ JAW
commissioner Lane Finds that Southern Pacific Continues to
 Give Rebates to Shippers.
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TO SET FACTS
Members of the Interstate Commerce. Commission Believe That Hartman Can Be Indicted in His Capacity as President of the Offending Road Official Ready to Testify.

Washington. Oct. 16.-Interstate Commerce Commissioner Lane. who went to California in response to re- ports from the agent of the commits. sion declaring that the Southern Pa. cific railroad company was giving re. bates and that proof could be obtained has returned to Washington.
 The commissioner believes that fragrant violation of the law can be proved, and it is the present under. standing that as soon as the facts col. lected are submitted to the full com. mission, certification of the illegal operations of the railroad will be made to the department of justice With request for prosecution of those responsible. The law, as it now stands, provides two-year imprison- ment for each offense.
 Whether MT. Hartman can be in dicted will depend upon whether his responsibility for the alleged viola. tfons of the law can be demonstrated Members of the interstate commerce commission believe 1t can. They say that as the president of the Southern Pacific company he either knew or should have known what his subordin. ates were doing.
 According to Commissioner Lanes investigation, rebates were being paid as late as September 24 of this year and during that part of September up to the 24th the road paid out in rebates to favored shippers SAT, 900. The evidence upon which the inter. state commerce commission will base their charges was found in the books of the company itself.
 It is stated that upon the last day of Commissioner Lanes stay in San Francisco, a freight official of the Southern Pacific offered himself as a witness for the government, it is asserted, with the hope of obtaining immunity
 In nearly every case in which re. bate charges were made the shippers involved are said to be rich and powerful corporations. A partial list of these includes the Union Ice com pany, the California Development com. pany, the Colorado Fuel and Iron com pany, the Eldorado Lumber company the California Sugar and White Pine company, the California Pine Box and Lumber company. the Pen Fruit com pany, and the Associated Oil company.

TWO MORE
 STEEL BRIDGES
Board Camp and Mountain Fork to Be Spanned at Dangerous Cross ing-New Structures to Cost
 About $500.

At the recent session of county court Nh appropriation was made for the building of two more steel bridges in this county, one to be erected across Board Camp creek on the Hot Springs road and the other one across Mount ain Fork west of Hatfield.
 The bridge to be built over Board Camp creek will have a span of about 75 feet and will probably cost in the neighbor- hood of Si,
 The one over Mountain Fork will be considerably larger, being about 200 feet long, and will cost about S4,000.
 Judge Prickett in company with representative of bridge construction company drove out to Board Camp Wednesday and will select location for the bridge and as soon as the plans for the two structures can he completed the contracts will be awarded and work commenced.
 The county has just recently completed the erection ot two steel bridges, one across the Ouachita river and the other one across Irons Fork and with the addition of the two new ones travel will be greatly improved.

MUST IMPROVE
 THEIR SERVICE
Southwestern Telephone Company of Fort Smith Must Do Better by November 1 or Collect No
 Rentals.

Fort Smith, Oct. 12.--Chacel- Tor Bourland today rendered his opinion in the case of Jo Johnson ct al vs. Southwestern Telegraph and Telephone Company, grant ing an injunction against the company from collecting full rates on telephone rentals unless the service now being rendered IS improved at once.
 The company must show by November 1 that the service is improved, or subscribers may re. fuse to pay any rental. The company will be held in contempt of court ia case the service is not improved.
 On the question of whether or not the company has franchise in Fort Smith, the court holds that recognition by the city council in requiring cables to be put under ground and accepting the use of free phones, gave the company right to the use of the streets, and that the company is not trespasser.
 The franchise expired in 1895, but is not held void. The court emphatically declared that the company had promised 10 give reasonable service, and was able to do so, but that for the past three months 1t had been very poor.
 An appeal from the decision will probably be taken. The trial of the case lasted three days and scores of witnesses were intro duced.

New Place for Thomas Ryan.

Washington, Oct. 16.-Thomas Ryan, for nearly II years first assistant sec retary of the interior, will retire from that office the latter part of this month. He will be succeeded by Frank Pierce of Salt Lake City. Utah. The reason given for nis resignation is that his health has become impnire,l by the work of his office. The announcement of the change was made Monday by Secretary of the Interior Garfield. Mir. Ryan was formerly minister to Mexi- co and is from Kansas. Mir. Ryan, however, will be retained in the inter for department service as advisor counsel in the administration of affairs relating to the vast and complicated landed interests of the five civilized tribes and the Osage ration.

Surprise for the Bridegroom.

The groom entered alone and said confidentially:
 Do you use the word obey in your marriage service, Ma. -
 No" said the minister; "I do not usually"
 Well" said the expectant Bene- dict, q have come to ask you to marry me now, and 1 want it used. l"
 Certainly, replied the other. Tt shall be done" And presently the couple stood solemnly before him.
 James IT," said the clergyman, do you take this woman to be your welded wife,"
 ''I do."
 Do you absolutely promise to love, honor and obey her so long as you both shall live?"
 Horror and rebellion struggled with the sanctities of the occasion on the bridegroom's face, but he chokingly responded, "l do," and the meek bride decorously promised in turn.
 After the ceremony was over the bridegroom said excitedly aside to the grave minister:
 You misunderstood me, sir; you misunderstood me! referred to the woman's s promise to obey"
 "Ah, did you, indeed?" serenely answered his reverence. But l think what is good for one side is good for the other, don't you? And. my friend, it is my advice to you to say nothing about it, for as an old mar jed man can tell you you'll have to obey anyhow. ."-Tit-Bits.

THE OLD TIME CIRCUS.
Many of the Characteristic Features Have Been Revived by Cole Bros.
 Big Show.

Cole Brothers world-toured shows that are 10 be here next Tuesday lay claim to being | circus iu all that the name im- plies, and not one that strongly partakes of a vaudeville show as others.
 All the acts and features are entirely those belonging to the circus, and many of them are acts that made circuses famous years ago, but so long since discarded as to make them new 10 the present generation of amusement lovers. This is particularly true of "the leaps" that other circuses no longer give. Cole Brothers carry a number of Ieapers who are similar to the famous Billy" Batchelo., who lost his life while trying to turn three somersaults over the backs of number of horses. The feat of turning three somersaults has never been accomplished, but the .leapers with the Cole Brothers show can turn two twisting somersaults that look very much as if three had been turned.
 The old time singing clown was discarded when the circuses reached such magnitude that the clowns voice could not be heard from the rings banks to the seats occupied by the audience. The Cole Brothers tent is just as large as any other, but the intro duce the singing clown, not singly but in group. Thus, instead of having one clown sing solo, the entire company of fifty-one cIows are heard in chorus.
 It must not be inferred from this that only the most desirable old time acts are retained and that no new features have been added. There are many of them, in fact, over one hundred that are programmed. The trip of this aggregation through foreign countries put if in position to receive the very best of attrac- tions, and these they were not slow in obtaining. Of course there are many circus celebrities of this country with the circus, and the friendly rivalry is keen, Three rings, two elevated stages, hippo irome track, aerial cuclave, gyroscope and two electrical pedestals are needed to display the many features.
 Two performances only will be given in this city, Tuesday, at ? and 6 D. m. These will be pre- ceded by a street parade iu the. morning. The tents in which the performances are given have q seating capacity of 10000,

To Either Clear Title to Stilwell Park For Hospital Or Get New Location To Investigate Water
 Supply.


 manager of the Kansas City Southern, was in Mena October 5, to investigate the railroads water service, he stated that upon his return to Kansas City he ex- pected to make an active investi- gation of the hospital matter with view of bringing tn i. annoying delay to an end.
 In response to this, letters have been received by T. J. Clayton, member of the hospital board. and pr. J. K. Davis, the com pany's local physician, as follows:
 Kansas City, Mo, Oct. 14, 1907. Gentlemen Feeling that the mem bers of the Employees Hospital Associ- ation are anxious to know what the present status of the proposed hospital is, have concluded to give you such information as am in possession of, concerning the matter.
 As you are aware, the delay in de- veloping plans of the building is the result of question as to the title of the site selected, known as Stilwell park, Mena. District Attorneys Read & McDonough, who investigated this case, now give 1t as their opinion that the title is satisfactory. Our general solicitor advises, however, that he is not quite certain yet that designing parties might not find an opportunity to interfere, if we commence. to erect the building under the present status of the matter, but that he will give me in few days a written opinion which will place us in a position to either clear up the question of title to Stilwell park or proceed to secure another location.
 As soon as receive the information referred to will advise you.
 Yours Truly,
 ". Coughlin.
 A letter has also been received from MT. Coughlin by the water works commissioners, enclosing al copy of a letter Mir. Coug ghlin had sent to J. J. Taylor who is in charge of the railroad water service at and south of Meus, in which Mir. Coughiiu asks Mr. Taylor to investigate the supply and pressure of Mena's water system.
 This investigation is ordered by the general manager with a view of making some kind of reciprocal arrangement with the Commission by which the water works district would supply the railroad with all it's water during the winter and spring months (when millions of gallons go out in the overflow pipcs), and in re turn the railroad would improve the facilities for getting deep we'll water and supply Mena with water during the summer months. As the pressure at the rcund- house is 107 pounds, nearly three times that of the railroads own plant at present, there can be no question on this point and an in- vestigation will show that about three-fourths of the time during the year there is enough water runs down Ward creek, where the city's supply is secured, to furnish water for city ten times the size of Meua.
 These conditions make 1t quite probable that arrangements will be made which will be ot mutual advantage to the Kansas City Southern and Mena, regarding their water supply.
