Company. Replies to the Commis-
SiOner of Corporations.

The following reply TO the latest instalment OF
the Commissioner OF Corporations report on the
methods OF the Standard oil Company was given
out yesterday at the company's Office, No. 20
Broadway:
The only reply the Standard oil Company
would make to the latest report of Herbert
Knox Smith the following. which they ask
the public to consider as illustrative Of the
method and spirit which have dominated the
Commissioners utterances:
An actual colloquy between a United States
representative OF the bureau of corporations and
English dealer IN Russian oils:
United States Agent-You have had con-
tract relation in times past with the Standard
oil Company?
English Dealer-Yes.
United States Agent-WiIl you permit me to
read the contract?
English Deaer-I will not. and amazed
that you should make such a request
United States Agent-My reason for making
the request is that as a competitor of the Stand
ard Oil Company. l should think you would be
glad TO assist in downing them"
The inquiries the reports and illogical deduc-
tlons OF all departments OF the government in
this matter have been actuated by other
spirit than to down the Standard" What do
the American people think of this. not only as a
..souare deal" proposition but for Its effect on
American commerce?
The business of the Standard OIL Company
has been conducted always with careful refer
ence TO the rights of the public and under the
best possible legal advice in conformity with our
complex laws.
At the proper time and place full and
rlete answers will be made to Mr.. Smiths er-
roneous and illogical statements.

Three DRINKS faced His Honor in
the Augusta municipal court ycstcr-
day morning Lorenzo Adlcy had been
making il disturbance on the previous
evening near the corner of Grove and
Scott streets. When arrested by
Special officer buckley he was alleged
to have been lying on his back in the
grass. kicking his feet in the air, and
shouting loudly enough to be heard on
the other side of the river. Special
officer Buckley was not in uniform
ALLEY was not quite certain whether
he was an officer or not. and in order
to make sure gave the officer a few
friendly jabs behind the ear. Adley
admitted to the court that he had had
"a quart" and was not sure whether
he could keep sober or not in the flu
ture. He was fined &c.
William O'Brien was released from
Jail Tuesday, Marshal Fletcher told
the court. and soon became intOXicat-
ed and resisted arrest. O'Brien told
the judge that he had packed his va
lisc with the idea of getting out of
town, but he met n friend who had a
quart and a half "And he hired you
to take care of Il part Of it for him?''
queried the court. Eyes. your Honor
replied O'Ericn. II suppose that's the
way of it." The court sentenced
O'Brien to 20 days in Jail. and the
mittemus was suspended on condition
that O'Brien got out of town in half
an hour. Alonzo Mason, Togus
veteran, was released

LIVER TROUBLES AND MALARIA

A prominent physician is using the
following prescription in all cases OF
liver troubles and malaria, and reports
that some remarkable cures have been
made by it's use. Get from your drug
store one-half ounce of fluid extract of
fringe tree, One-eighth ounce of fluid
extract of gentian, one ounce of con-
centrated Lecto compound and Two
and three-eighths ounces of syrup OF
ginger. Mix and shake these well and
take one teaspOonful in half glass OF
water before each meal and at bedtime
children half this dose). These
ingredients are all vegetable and non
poisonous and therefore leave no bad
after effect.
The doctor states that he prescribcs
this in all cases of lazy liver, bilious
ness, malaria, ague, chills and fever
headaches resulting from a disordereG
liver, constipation, etc.
These ingredients may be secured
separately and mixed at home, or car
| be put up at small expense by almost
any first-class druggist. This formula
will do wonders in short time.

AT THE ITALIAN CAMP.
An Interesting Spot on the New
Electric Road to WaterviIe.

Among the most interesting spots in
old Kennebec at the present time Is the
little italian camp on the line OF the w.
Ct. & l.. r. r. extension between TINS
city and Waterville. The camp is on
the MOrcy place, so-called. a few miles
up on the East Side. 1t is true there
are no romantic italian lakes or thrifty
Vineyards or uncovered chateauX in
sight, and even the Italian sunsets are
onspicuous by their absence, but the
rosy checked sons of Italy are there in
their picturesque costumes, sunburned
and with old world ways.
The camp reminds one of gypsy
cncampment, with the seventh son of a
seventh son to read your palm. 1t is
very evident that they believe six
dayS shalt thou labor and on the
Sabbath--do all your work." for on
Sunday the fences and trees We're
literally covered with wearing apparel
of all kinds, fresh from the brook.
They believe in the strenuous life
They cook and cat in the open air and
some Of their dishes would puzzle the
ordinary housewife to name them or
even to guess what they We're COM
posed of, much more to put them
together.
The bread they get from the local
bakery, baked especially for them, ana
judging from n sample loaf on exhibit
ton it was made of paris,
for it was harder than Pharaoh's heart
you couldn't dent it with an axe; yet
they seemed to relish it and grow fat.
The foreman in charge told the
Journal man that when the bread stuck
or went down too hard they washed it
down with copious draughts of beer.
They seem to be of a happy DISPOSE
ton. They sing some, and there are
some good voices in the cluster, and No
doubt the visitor gets agout $13 Worth
of Italian opera for nothing. Their
accommodations are not palatial, yet
they seem to be cOntentc,l, and con-
tentment is one half of the battle In
this life. just now the fad is to driV"
up and visit the little Italian camp.
