OIL TRUST FOUND GUILTY
STANDARD COMPANY CONVICT
ED OF ACCEPTING REBATES.
Maximum Penalty for Offense Is $29,-
26o, o0o-Defense Plans Legal
Battle.

Chicago, April 16.-The Standard
Oil company has been found guilty of
accepting rebates from railroads on
it's shipments from Whiting, Ind, in
1903, by a jury which returned its
verdict in Judge Landis' court. Law
yers for the defeated corporation are
busy perfecting plans for legal bat
tie that is to be ended only by the
verdict of the United States supreme
court.
Minimum fines amounting to 81 ,463,-
900 and a maximum of $29, 260, 900
can be imposed by Judge Lands, and
the struggle within a few days will
be for a new trial, and in case or
an adverse ruling on this point at
tempts will be made to reduce the
fine
The point made by Attorneys John
S. Miller, Moritz Rosenthal and Vir-
gil P. Kline for the defense is that
in accepting the secret rebate on its
shipments of 1,463 cars the COM
pany committed only one violation,
and that it can be fined only $4,000,
the maximum for single offenses
against the Elkins law The gov
eminent will contend that each of
the 1,463 shipments constitute a vio-
lation, and that the payment of $780,
900 fine would not be commensurate
with the offense, which netted the
Standard a saving of $4,000 on the
shipments.
This is the first time the Standard
Oil company has been convicted on
the charge of accepting rebates and
congratulations have been pouring in
on District Attorney Edwin w. Sims
for his victory, which came at the end
of five months hard work preceding
the trial. which has lasted Sc days.
Assistant District Attorneys Wilker-
son and Parkin, who have worked in
and out of court with Mr.. Sims, are
sharing the tribute to their leader.
The charges involving shipments
from Whiting, Ind, to East st. Louis,
ILL.,, on which the legal rate was IS
cents, the Standard rate being six
cents, and shipments to ST. Louis at
17h cents, while the legal rate was
1917 cents. Even more indictments
are pending against the corporation.

JAMES H. EckELS is DEAD.
Chicago Bank President and Former
Comptroller of Currency.

Chicago, April 15.-James H. Eek
els, president of the Commercial Ma
tional bank and one of Chicago's lead
ing citizens, was found dead in bed at
his residence Sunday morning. Death
was due to heart disease. Mr.. Eek
els was comptroller of the curren-
cy during Grover Cleveland's second
administration.
Princeton, N. j., April 15.-Former
President Cleveland was deeply
touched when he learned of the death
of Mr. Eckels. He said: Il was
closely related to Mr.. Eckels and his
death comes to me with a peculiar
shock. In important public work l
learned to know how intelligently and
industriously he devoted himself to
duty, and in the intimacy of close
friendship l learned to know and ap-
preciate his rare and attractive quail
ties of heart. Mr.. Eckels illustrated
the traits that make the best Amerl-
can citizenship. Deeply interested in
every question connected with the
public welfare, he studied them with
soberness in the end that he might
increase his usefulness. He was a
public-spirited man who saw duty all
about him, and whose influence was
impressed on all his surroundings for
good. Neither the immediate COM
munity in which he dwelt nor the
country at large could well afford to
lose a man like James H. Eckels."

What Makes sprinq Early or Late.

What Makes Spring Early or Late.
Until recently it was taken for
granted that the heat given out by the
sun was always the same in amount,
not differing one day from another,
or one year from another. But it has
been finally ascertained, through a
long series of experiments, that the
amount of heat given out by the sun
is constantly varying, and that at
times it is not less than one-sixth
greater than at other times, a differ
ence amply sufficient to account for
exceptionally cool summers or warm
winters on the earth. Indeed, says
Rene Bache, in the Reader Magazine,
there can no longer be any doubt
that We owe our weather, to great ex-
tent, to the solar luminary; and our
government is at present engaged in
painstaking study of the subject in
the observatory on Mount Whitney,
Cal, the expectation being that, when
it has come to be more fully under
stood, science will be able, by obser-
walton of the suns activity, to make
forecasts Of meteorological conditions
for at least six months in advance.

ILL FROM OVERWORK
NERVOUS PRoSTRAT,oN CURED
BY DR.. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
BY Tonins up the Blood and Nerves Pa
tlent Recovered Weight, Strength
and Good Spirits.

When the nervous system is broken
down from Overwork, or whatever cause,
life loses its joys. Not only is the ner-
vous victim a sufferer himself but he is
usually trial to the whole family.
Nervous breakdown is often gradual,
appearing at first to be merely an unu-
sual fretfulness. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills tone up the nerves in the most
direct way and not only cure minor
troubles but serious disorders as well.
Mr.. w. w. Munroe, of 16 Hazel Park,
Everett, Mass, says: "About four years
ago this September I became all run
down from overwork and from confine-
ment to work during warm weather.
For two months grew steadily worse.
I lost in weight and strength and had no
appetite. My memory failed me quite
rapidly and became in very low
state, both physically and mentally. I
took no interest in life, neither in bust
ness nor recreation. In my position, as
foreman in large manufacturing
chemists establishment in Boston,
good memory is absolutely essential to
success because of the immense amount
of detail that must be carried in the head.
81 grew very despairing, could not
bear to have people meet me and my
friends remarked on my condition.
About the middle Of December friend
told me one day that he had tried DR..
Williams Pink Pills and found them
reliable. commenced taking them and
at the end Of two weeks the change for
the better was remarked by friends. I
continued using the pills until I was
thoroughly recovered. Iregard them as
fine remedy and make this statement
voluntarily in gratitude for the benefit
] received from them"
These pills actually make new blood
and have cured such diseases as rheu-
matism, nervous and general debility,
indigestion, nervous headache, neuralgia
and even partial paralysis and locomotor
ataxia. AS a tonic for the blood and
nerves they are unequalled.
If you are sufferer from any disor-
der of the blood and nerves write for
proof of what DR.. Williams Pink
Pills have accomplished in cases similar
to yours. Every testimonial used by
this company is carefully investigated
before being published and is authentic.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are sold by ali
druggists, or direct by mail, postpaid, on
receipt of price, 90 cents per box, six
boxes for $3.50, by the Dr.. Williams
Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

In the simultaneous discharge OF
eight of the ten Pinch guns of the
Dreadnought, shock was given the
vessel OF 100000 tons, more than
double that of any broadside ever be-
fore fired. The vessel of 1880 tons
skidded sideways several yards, list
ing many degrees. The guns are SO
feet long, and each shell of $50
pounds is discharged by 265 pounds
of cordite, with a muZzle velocity OF
1000 miles an hour. 1t Is calculated
that if the eight guns could be com.
bined in one and fired at the height
of the atmosphere, the shell would
travel around the earth forever as a
miniature satellite.

President issues
ARBOR DAY message
is ADDRESSED TO THE SCHOOL
CHILDREN OF. THE UNITED
STATES.
Little Sermon on Trees-Value of tho
Nations Forests and of Renewing
Them Impressed on the Youth of
the Land.

Washington, April Is. - President
Roosevelt has addressed ito the chill
dren of the United States" message
on the significance of Arbor day,
which is celebrated in the month of
April in many of the states. He says
to them 1t is we'll that they should
celebrate the day thoughtfully and
that when they help to preserve our
forests or to plant new ones they are
acting the part of good citizens.
The message is as follows:
ITO the school children of the Unit
simply tree day. is now observed
in every state in. the union - and
mainly in the schools. At various
times from January to December, but
chiefly in this motith of April, you
give day or part of day to special.
exercises, and perhaps to actual tree
planting, in recognition of the impor-
lance of trees to us as a nation, and
of what they yield in adornment, COM
fort and useful products to the COM
Nation Will Need Trees.
1T is we'll that you should cele-
within your lifetime the nations need
of trees will become serious. We of
an older generation can get along
with what we have, though with
growing hardship; but in your full
manhood and womanhood you will
want what nature once so bountifully
supplied and may so thoughtlessly
destroyed; and because of that want
you will reproach us, not for what we
have used, but for what we have
wasted.
For the nation, as for the man or
woman and the boy or girl, the road
to success is the right use of what
we have and the improvement of pres
ent opportunity. If you neglect to
prepare yourselves now for the duties
and responsibilities which will fall
upon you later, If you do not learn the
things which you will need to know
when your schooldays are over, you
will suffer the consequences. So any
nation which in its youth lives only
for the day, reaps without sowing, and
consumes without outstanding, must
expect the penalty of the prodigal,
whose labor could with difficulty find
him the bare means of life.
Value of the Forests.
"a people without children would
face a hopeless future; a country
without trees is almost as hopeless;
forests which are so used that they
cannot renew themselves will soon
vanish, and with them all their bene-
fits. A true forest is not merely a
storehouse full of wood, but, as it
were, a factory of wood, and at the
same time reservoir of water. When
you help to preserve our forests or
to plant new ones you are acting the
part of good citizens. The value OF
forestry deserves, therefore, to be
taught in the schools, which aim to
make good citizens of you. If your
Arbor day exercises help you to rea-
lie what benefits each one of you re-
ceives from the forests, and how by
your assistance these benefits may
continue, they will serve a good end.
