RockefeIer's Tremendous Income.
From the examination OF Wesley H.
Tilford, treasurer of the Standard Oil
company, at the hearing before ex-
Judge Franklin Ferriss in the govern
fent suit to dissolve the trust three
sensational facts We're spread upon
the record:
First.-The Standard Oil Trust of
Ohio when ordered by the supreme
court in 1892 to wind up its affairs and
dissolve continued its monopolistic
combination without change in man
agement or methods, with the same
officers, the same stock owners and the
same control of supply, transportation
and price of oil for seven years, until
1899.
Second.-The mandate of the SUI.
preme court of Texas deburring the
Standard Oil combination from engag-
ing in business there has been detied
by the operations of the Corsicana Re-
filming company, owned by II. G. Fol
ger and G. n. Payne of 20 Broadway,
and the Security Oil company, said to
be controlled by the Standards origi-
nal financial institution, the Seaboard
National bank of IS Broadway.
Third.-John d. Rockefeller's income
during the eight years when, as he
and his friends have said so often, he
never visited 20 Broadway, was $21. %
per minute from oil alone.
While the Standard Oil Company of
New Jersey has produced many facts
and figures before the federal exam
liner now hearing the case presented
against it. no trace has yet been OBJ
tanned of books that are deemed abso-
lutely vital TO establish the govern
ments contention that the old trust
was turned over without any real liz.

is being built by Prof. Robert w
Wood. professor of experimental
physics In the Johns Hopkins uni
versity. with Otto Luytch. local en-
gineer. are practically completed and
the work of construction will begin
soon. Prof. Wood has been carrying
on these experiments in the Hopkins
laboratory for several months.
The purpose Of the experiments has
been to test the lifting power and the
steadiness of action of screw propel.
iers as the means of ascension and
propulsion. On the basis of the re.
suits obtained by Prof. Wood a large
flying machine will be constructed at
Sparrows Point under the direction OF
the two inventors.
The projected machine Is OF tho
"Helicopter" type. which depends on
n series of screw propellers "ariously
arranged for the power of rising in
the air and for propulsion. The
models which have thus occupied the
attention of Prof. Wood do lot re.

EVEN IF DISCOURAGED
raY on. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS
FOR YOUR RHEUMATISM.
The Pills Have Curod tho Disease In
Almost Every Form and Even In
Advanced Staocs.

Rheumatism Is painful inhammn.
tion of the muscles or OF the coverings
OF tho joints and is sometimes accom-
panied By swelling. Tho pain Is sha-p
and shooting and does not confine itself
to any one part of tho body, but nfter
settling in one joint or muscle for n
time, leaves it and passes on to another.
The most dangerous tendency of the
disease is to attack the heart. External
applications may give relief from pain
for n time but the disease cannot be
cured until the blood is purified. DIR.
Williams Pink Pills are the best medi-
cine for this purpose as their action Is
directly on the blood, making it rich,
red and healthy. When the blood is
pure there can be no rheumatism.
Mrs. Ellen A. Russell, of South Goff
ST., Auburn, Me-, says: ~ had been
sick for fifteen years from impure blood,
brought on by overwork. My heart was
weak and my hands colorless. I was
troubled with indigestion ind vomiting
spells, which came on every few months.
had no appetite and used to have awful
fainting spells, falling down when at
my work. I frequently felt numb all
over. My head ached continuously for
five years.
about two years ago began to feel
rheumatism in my joints, which became
so lame could hardly walk. My joints
were swollen and panied me terribly.
"Dr. Williams Pink Pills were rec
commended to mo by u friend, after / had
failed to get well from the DOCTORS
treatment. When began taking the
pills, the rheumatism was at its worst.
had taken only n few boxes, when tile
headaches stopped and not long after
ward felt the pain in my joints be-
coming less aud less, until there was
none at all. The stiffness was gone and
have never had any return of the rheu-
matism."
DIR. Williams Pink Pills have cured
such diseases as nervous and general
debility, indigestion, nervous headache,
neuralgia and even partial paralysis and
locomotor ataxia. AS u tonic for the
blood and nerves they are unequalled.

that the steamship Goldmoutli. a yes.

after passage from Balill PHppan, in

throughout the passage averaged ovar
nine knots. This is the third nonstop
run made by this vessel while burning
liquid fuel. the first being from Sing.

 in Idaho Trial.
sy Gable to The Dally oAsswAy.

Wallace, Idaho, Feb. 25-The alleged confession of Steve Adams was read in his trial today. The purported state ment is that he received money in Denver from Mover and Pettibone, two of the officials of the Western Federation of Miners now held in jail awaiting trial for the murder of Ex- Gov. Steunenberg, to go to Idahs and kill Steuenenberg. When he reached Caldwell he met Simpson, who ad- vised the killing of Settle and Tyler first.
 The confession states that Pettibone offered to pay Adams 5000 whenever it became known that Steunenberg was dead by assassination. Later the offer was withdrawn and still later Steunen- berg was killed by Orchard.
