OF Few Words in Business.

There are men high in the employ
of Armour & Co. who never have seen
this man of the home environment.
Thousands would not recognize him
in the position. To thousands of
these he is a man to stand in awe of
to fear, even.
Ogden Armour in business is the
man of the fewest words. In utter
ance he is of the steel trap speech
His yes" or mo" is not to be an

revocable.
In j. Ogden Armour the man asso-
ciated with him in the business of Ar
mour & Co finds in this head of the
concern the master of details. In the
famous hearing of the beef trust be-
fore the federal court in Chicago
there is the Armour testimony that in
the matter of rebates of 100000 or

The possibility of 5000 loss in each

OF Armour which saves him in these
personal rounds of inspection. There

Just one man did resent the Armour

Most men will admit that it isn't
a pleasant experience to go to ones
office expecting to find an emplove

kind of excuse for the absence.

Chicago.-By virtue of his millions,
his diversified financial and CONNER
c'al interests, his methods, and his
means to business ends, j. Ogden Ar
mour is one of the accredited great
captains of industry of Chicago.
But when you seek to discover of
his friends the social side of the man,
they are not certain even of its exist
ence.
Ask Mr.. Armour himself and he re-
CARDS the subject as not at all worthy
Of discussion in business hours.
And j. Odgen Armour has more
business hours in the course of the
calendar year than has any other mil
lionaire in the western metropolis.
He eats his luncheon in his private
Office in the general Offices in La
Sale street; sends out for 1t some
where and satifies his hunger with
the least possible loss of time. When
the days work is done he starts home
in his automobile, just within the
speed limits of the ordinances, for a
seven O'Clock dinner.
Responsible for days work as the
head of Armour e. Co, with its pay
roll of 10000 men, looking to his own
private interests in half dozen lines
of investment, meeting in one way or
another the multitudinous calls that
come from great world to the desk
of the millionaire.

Direct in QUESTIONING.

HARD BLOW FOR STANDARD OIL.
Judge Lands overruIes All Technical
Objections to Trial.

Chicago, March 1S.-Standard Oil-re-

its history when Judge Lands
in the United States district court here
overruled all the objections of the de-
PENDANTS counsel to the further trial
of the Alton rebate case.
With these objections thus disposed
Of little remains for the government
other than the technical proof of lille
gal shipments.
The far-reaching effect of the deci-
sion can hardly be overestimated. If
sustained by the United States SUI
preme court, where the case surely
will be carried if the jury finds the
company guilty, Judge Lands ruling
will clear the way for future conflicts
between the government and the giant
trusts. More than that, it establishes
the precedent and gives the govern
ment elbow room in the prosecutions
already begun in various parts of the
United States.

Peculiar Relationship TanaIe.

At double wedding held at Chart

suited. ]. E. Waugh, wealthy bot
tier, became welded to Miss Amanda
Lundgren, and the latter's brother, Al
fred Lundgrsn, was married to Miss
Zoerilda Waugh. Mrs. Alfred Lund-
gren, besides being the daughter of ].
r. Waugh, is now also his sister-in-law.
Alfred Lundgren Is at one and the
same time the son-in-law and
brother-in-law of Waugh. Mrs.
j. 3. Waugh is the sister-in-law
of Mrs. Alfred Lundgren and is also
her step-mother. This is as far as the
friends and relatives of the couples
have been able to figure out the rela-
tionship, and it is said to be the first
instance in the history of Iowa that
this peculiar relationship has been
caused by marriage.
