The Standard Oil attorneys contend
ed that the supersedas should be grant
ed upon a bond not larger than suffi-

ed by the government, however, that
the bond should be fixed at $29,240,-
600, the amount Of the fine imposed by
Judge Lands, in order to secure the
government, pending stay of execu-
ton in the judgment
The writ of supersedas sought was
not granted, but Judge Grosscup allow
ct the writ of error. Action was de-
layed on the writ Of supersedas pend

the bond the company is required to
| file.

Well Worth Seeing.

The Exhibition of the Larkin Co. of
Bnffalo, N. Y, being given at Pythian
Hall, No. 80 Eastern Avenue, is well
worth visiting. There is much to see.
The remarkable line of premiums that
are given free with the Larkin products
are on display. These premiums number
1000 and are so varied in character that
practically everything required to fur
nish the home will be found among them,
as well as wearing apparel and host OF
other desirable articles.
Any of the premiums may be obtained
free by purchasing or selling the Larkin
products These consist of laundry and
toilet soaps, perfumes pharmacal prepar-
ations, pure food products and variety
Of home needs-over 140 in all. Larkin
customers pay no more than regular
retail prices for their supplies yet can
save $40 every few weeks. The Larkin
idea of factory-to-family dealing gives
one retail value of $40 for each $40
expended, because the profits that ordin-
arily go to the middlemen are given to
customers in the form of premium.
The showroom, which is here for few
days only, is in charge of attendants
who will explain the Larkin plan OF
trading and give all desired information
about the products and premiums.
Souvenir samples are given visitors
who are welcomed daily and on Wednes-
day and Saturday evenings. The public
