ton in Raid Case.

Emporia Aug. 6.-The Gazette
says: c. F. Sinclair, president of the
local lodge of the Fraternal Order of
Eagles, was arrested Monday and
gave, bond of $50 for his appearance
in police court j. Harvey Firth, city
attorney, said that there was nothing
personal in the arrest of Mr.. Sinclair,
that the charge against the local or
der of Eagles was that of maintaining
nuisance, place where persons
were allowed to congregate for the
purpose of drinking Intoxicating IL
quors, and that any member of the
lodge could be arrested as well as Mr..
Sinclair, but that it was customary to
arrest the president or head of the
lodge in such cases.
In all liquor cases where liquor is
seized by warrant, there are two pro-
ceedings, one against the liquor itself
to determine the disposition of the
liquor, whether it shall be destroyed
or returned to its owner or owners,
and another against the owner or
owners. The case against the beer
seized in the raid Saturday has been
set for o'clock Thursday morning.
At that time the city will attempt to
prove that the liquor should be de-
rooms as prima facie evidence of the
existence of a nuisance.
The trial of Mr.. Sinclair, president
of the lodge, has been set for next
Monday morning at 9 o'clock. The
minimum penalty provided by city
ordinance is fine of $50 and thirty
days imprisonment in Jail. City At

Monster Reserve Fund.

1t has always been the policy of the
Standard Oil to pay out in dividends
only a portion of It's yearly profits,
adding the balance to its surplus fund.
What that fund amounts to has never
been disclosed, but it is supposed to
exceed $20O,000,000 and may amount
to a very much greater figure.
During the three years for which
the profits were disclosed by Secretary
Pratt, the Standard ON distributed

If the Standard OIL company has to

that for a year at least no dividends
will be paid to its stockholders, or il
any be paid they will be very small
compared with recent years
Until John D. Rockefeller was
placed on the stand before Judge Lam
dis in Chicago, on July 5, nobody out
side of small group of men had any
idea of the real profits of that corpora
ton. The Standard Oil has always
been operated as a blind pool as far as
it's profits are concerned, and not even
its stockholders are given reports of its
earnings. They get what is handed
out to them in the shape of dividends,
but are never told what proportion of
the profits the dividend distributions
represent. 81.
When Judge Lands asked Mr.
Rockefeller what the actual profits of
the Standard Oil company were dur
ing a series of years past he claimed
he didn't know. When Charles M.
Pratt secretary of the Standard Oil,
was placed on the stand he was COM
PEELED to give the information for the
three years covered by the cases before

the outside world for the first time
definite information of the huge earn

tual profits in the three years were.

INDUSTRIES OF THE Beers.
Girls Taught Work Which They Can
Carry On at Home.

In 1906 an experimental school Of
spinning Inc weaving was started in
q remote Boer village, says the South
ern Workman. The village chosen
was Philippolis, in the Orange River
Colony. Six girls were received
when the school opened its doors.
March 10, 1905, and it was soon pos
sible to admit more from the long list
of applicants. During the first eight
months. about 40 have received train
Ing in one or another Of the branches
OF the work. The primary object is 70
teach work which girls can carry on
at home with their own resources,
independently of imported material,
and, so far as possible, Independent
also of external supervision. but with
a simple democratic and cooperative
organization among themselves. This
work is intended to be useful in max
ing necessary articles for thei own
homes, as cloth, coverlets, blankets.
rugs; but it is also expected that .
sale will be readily found for such
things in the towns. So far there has
not been the least difficulty in sell
ing the articles made by the school.
After two or three months of work
in Philippolis. enough has been achiev.
ed to arouse interest through both
the Transvaal and the Orange River
Colony although no attention was
even yet claimed in public. The fnA
tial success Of the scheme passes
from mouth to mouth, and the Beers
who are g cautious people-begin to
believe that these industries a b

an element in national life.
