Standard Oil Fined 8 s1,eoo,ooo.

Washington.-The decision of
Texas jury, fning the Waters Pierce
Oil Company over a million and half
dollars for its violations of the anti
trust law and cancelling Its permit to
do business in the state, is considered
here such a severe blow t. the Stand
ard OIL trust that 1t may force the
corporation to dissolve before the fed
eral governments cases against it can
bt: heard.
The action is one of deep signifi-
canoe. 1t comes at time when the
Supreme Court of Missouri has before
1t the report Of it's special commits
sioner, which finds that the same Wa
ters-Pierce Oil Company has been vio-
lating the antitrust law of that state,
and recommends that its permit be
cancelled.
Although there has been very little
doubt as to the action the Missouri SUI
preme Court will take, it is believed
the Texas decision will prompt quicker
action.
The oil trust is treading a perfect
labyrinth Of legal prosecutions. Ohio,
Texas and Missouri have attacked 1t
under state antitrust laws. The fed
eral government Is prosecuting it un-
der the Elkins rebate law of Illinois,
Tennessee, Missouri and New York.
1t has been found guilty in Chicago
and is now awaiting the infliction Of
sentence by Judge Lands. Under the
law the minimum fines must reach
$1,500,O00. If the limit is imposed the
Standard will have to pay $29,000,000.
Tho circuit judges of the Eighth cir
cr'" have just heard arguments on the
dehurrer of the Standard Oil to the
governments bill, asking for dissolu-
cion. An early decision is expected.
The court will then appoint a commits
sIoner to take testimony. The depart
ment Of justice will use its best en-
deavor to bring the case to speedy
conclusion.
In Ohio the state authorities are
pushing the oil trust in civil and crimi-
nal proceedings. The Circuit Court
has just given black eye to the trust
by ruling that the Circuit Court of
Hancock county, which fined the Stan
dard $4,000, had jurisdiction. The
question will be fought out in the Su-
preme Court.

and unless an appeal to higher court
results in a change, the Midway Real
Estate and Coal Company, composed
of farmers who own the lands wanted
for reservoir site, will have to sell
their holdings at this sum per acre.
The farmers who were parties to the
suit opposing the reservoir company
are w. r. Churchill, Frederick Wick
and William F. Smith.
These men claimed that their land Is
worth at least $3.50 an acre for agricul.
tural purposes, and a few days ago,
as q result Of drilling for coal, an.

Rather Rot in Jail,

Colorado Springs-"I'll stay in Jail
until l rot before l tell them where
the books are, unless they pay me
what is due me first" declares Miss
Exine E. Fuller, young, handsome and
determined. now confined in jail for
contempt of court for refusal to give
up the looks of mining company of
which she has been secretary.
She was brought into court because
she refused to surrender the books of
the Mary Murphy Mining Company,
which she acknowledged to be in her
possession. Miss Fuller is bookkeeper
at the Hayman market. IA South TETON
street, and was employed to keep
books for the mining company during
her spare time. Edward Jones, secre-
tary of the company. alleges that he
demanded the books but when he en-
deavored to get them he found them
missing.
Miss Fuller claims about $50 salary
for work done on the books. When the
mining company demurred to immedi-
ate payment of this sum, Miss Fuller
is alleged to have informed the officers
that as long as payment was deferred
Just SO long would they seek in vain
for the books. She admits that their
whereabouts is known to her and to
her only.
The matter got into the courts when
Jones had issued from Justice Ruby a
writ of replevin demanding the books
from Miss Fuller When the writ was
served on Miss Fuller at the Hayman
market by Constable w. p. Orrabee.
she read the document, looked at the
constable and decided that 1t would
take more than the strong arm Of the
law to force her to reveal the hiding
place of the books until the $50 was
Forthcoming. She refused to turn them
over as ordered in the writ.
Accordingly a warrant for her arrest
was issued and she was brought into
court for explanation. She explained
All there was to it was that she
wanted the salary. and until the salary
was paid the books would not be
found, Jail or no jail. Neither court
nor counsel could persuade Miss Fuller
to give up the books demanded by the
mining company, and with head erect
and look of determination on her
countenance she heard the sentence OF
the court that she be incarcerated in

VALUE OF RIGaT BREATHING.
Health Comes From Knowing How and
What 70 Breathe.

Dust laden with the germs Of con
sumption or other disease Is inhaled by
all who use the streets, but disease IS
not developed unless the germs find
conditions suitable for their Iodgment
and growth
With people having eatarrh there u
an ideal culture medium for these
germs. as the irrisated membrane and
weakened tissues IS hot.bel where
germs must thrive and multiply until
they are numerous and active.
If you nave catarrh, you should use
the easiest, simplest and quickest cure,
the direct method Of Hyomei, whose
wonderful medicated air Is taken In with
the air you breathe, directly following
and destroying all germs that have
been inhaled, repairing any damage they
may have worked and so healing and
vitalizing the tissues as to render
catarrh and germ infection no longer
possible
The unusual way in which Hyofnei Is
sold should jispel all doubt as to its
curative properties, for the Red Cross
Pharmacy offer to refund the price 70
anyone whom it fails to benefit. You
do not risk cent in testing the healing
virtues of this breath of life, for every
St.00 outfit the Red Cross Pharmacy
give a guarantee to relieve catarrh or
