Due to Classification and Re-
arranging of Hundreds of
Books and Periodicals.
SHELVING SPACE
MANY FIND THE LITERATURE
DEALING WITH PATENTS OF AB-
SORBING INTEREST," MA A.
ZINES ARE BEING FILED.

Considerable extra work has been
entailed at the Morriason-Reeves IL
brary during the past few days, &C
casioned by extensive changes that
are being made in the classification
and re-arranging of several hundred
books and periodicals. During the
past summer additional room was
built to the stack room, thus mater
tally increasing the capacity of the
shelving space. With this increase
an opportunity has been affOi ded for
a better classification OF the govern
mental documents, reports. and the
like. so that they are more accessible
to the public. Previously these dOcu
ments have been filed away on shell
yes in the balcony that surmounts the
reading room and consequently the
public found it difficult TO use them
for reference work. Strange to say
this class of literature is used far
more than the average patron of the
library realizes. This is especially
true of the patent reports. Local
manufacturers and expert mechanics
find the flies in this department of
especial advantage to them i'll their
work Through these files one can
trace with wonderful uniformity and
accuracy the steps in development OF
many of the more useful inventions
of the present day. There are also
reports of many kinds of inventions
whose virtues have never been dis
covered. Cow milchers, flying mach
ines, mechanical diswashers, on which
some enthusiast has wasted years Of
futile labor, are all described in detail.
To one of inventive talent these doc
uments are of especial interest In
fact a certain young man living south
west of Richmond, became.s SO en-
crossed one day last spring in the mar
vels of invention that he forgot to
leave the building at the closing time,
and as result was locked in the
building where he spent the night.
All of these documents are being clas-
sified and catalogued so that little
trouble will be experienced in using
them.
The work of filing old magazines
that have been accommodating for years
is also task requiring considerable
work at this time. When it is consid-
cred that more than one hundred mag
azines are received at the library, ii
can readily be seen that their accum
ulation is quite rapid. Each Of these
magazines must be filed SO that it can
be rescued from a seemingly hopeless
| af A hot
systematizing of these magazines is
now possible with increased shelving
space.

CIVIC BEAUTY TOPIC
WILL Be CONSIDERED
West Side Association Will
Hear an Address.
MRS. JOHNSTON TO SPEAK.

Feeling that one of the greatest of
all questions confronting a city or any
of it's sections, is that of civic beauty.
the West Richmond Improvement as
ISOLATION at its meeting next Friday
night, will duscuss the subject thor
oughly.
On this occasion Mrs Melville F.
Johnston, who has so long been con-
nected with things artistic in Rich
mond, being president of the Rich
mond Art association, will give talk
on Civic Beauty Mrs Johnston
has made a close study of the subject
and is able to speak on it with author
ity.
Members of the West Richmond as
ISOLATION have long felt that greater
care should be taken with the natural
beauties as we'll as those of more ar
tificial nature. Members have been
impressed at various meetings with
the Importance of the subject. Mrs.
Johnstons address will no doubt give
new impetus to civic beauty on the
West Side, which is already becoming
one of the best cared for sections of
Richmond. The West Richmond i'm
provement association is responsible
for much of this.

CONDITION IS IMPROVED
Situation Is Now Favorable to
Rev. E. E. Neal.

Elwood, Ind, Nov 9.-Rev. E. z.
Neal is resting we'll and his breathing
is more natural than at any time since
he was stricken. Rev. B. Biegel
made a fraternal call upon the sick
man. and was recognized by the min.
lister. who grasped Father Biegel's
hand and gave him a warm welcome.
Owing to Rev. Neal having always
been of good habits, and of robust ply
sique, his friends believe that he will
now recover, as there are more favor
able symptoms in that direction than
at any time since Sunday night.

Oil COMPANY IN DEFENSE
Waters-Pierce Concern Offers Books
I'm Evidence in Hearing
at st. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 7.-Hearlng in the
custer case Of the state against the alleged
combination of the Standard Republic and
Waters-Pierce OH companies was resumed
today before Special Commissioner An
thony.
surprise was sprung by the defense as
soon as the hearing was convened when
John ID. Johnson, counsel for the Waters
Pierce Oil company, offered the minute
book of the Waters-Pierce company with
the statement that the respondents would
rest their case provided the commissioner
would II convenient to himself and coun-
sci, heac such cumulative evidence as the
defense might wish TO offer after counsel
had refreshed their memories by reading
over the record. This formal tender in
evidence of the records of the proceedings
of the directors and stockholders of the
Waters-Pierce company from May %. 1900
to June p. 1905. being the joint act of the
attorneys representing the Standard OIL
company of Indiana, the Waters-Pierce oil
company of St, Louis and the Republic
Oil company OF Ohio, practically closed the
defense to the custer proceedings. ?
Commissioner Anthony gave the attor-
neys for the respondents until January 2i
to decide whether they will offer any more
| testimony and the intormants until Feb
ruary l to put in rebuttal testimony. Ar

ruary 49, after which he will begin the
preparation OF his report to the supreme
court.
notwithstanding the action of the counsel
for the defendant companies in practically
resting the defense, Attorney General Had
icy put C. d. Webster. an independent re-
inner or Humboldt, Kan, on the stand. He
was called to contradict testimony given by
Mr.. Motif of the Standard Oil company
during previous hearing to the effect that
the actual cost Of refining OIL not including
any other expense, was IA to III cents
per gallon. Mr.. Webster testified today
that "a cent gallon was the outside cost
or refining even the heaviest quality of
crude oil. He said that refined oil could
be produced in Kansas City, including cost
OF crude oil and refining expenses, at not
over ~ cents per gallon. He gave figures
to show the exact cost of producing refined
oil and said that while the price of refined
oil In practically all other states is from
II TO IA cents a gallon. the same oil is sold
in Kansas for w cents.
II sell to the st. Louis Oil company at
cents a gallon delivered here said the
witness. II have to pay a 17-cent freight
rate from Humboldt to ST. Louis. If I
| could get the scent rate that the Standard
gets from Whiting Ind, to st. Louis
could sell refined oil here for cents a gal
lon and get a satisfactory profit"
The indications now are that the case
| VIII be heard by the supreme court at the
April term. This case will have the prece-
denee over all other cases at the first sit
ting OF the court en- banc at the April
term, provided Commissioner Anthony gets
In his report. In that event decision NAV
be handed down early in the summer.
