NATIONS FAT BANK ROLL.
Fiscal Year Begins With Surplus o.
More Than $97, 0o0,o

Westinghouse far as working pur-
poses are concerned the fiscal year Of
the government closed recently with
surplus Of substantially sS7,0OO,0O0,
one of the largest net balances ever
shown. In the fiscal year 1902 there
was surplus of 91,391,S72, but that
was the largest since 1890.
While the official figures for the
fiscal year will not be announced for,
a few days, the figures available are
approximately accurate. They show
that in the year just closed the reve-
hue was $665.306, 1874, and expenditures
S57S,376,709, as compared with receipts
of $594,454.121 for the last fiscal year
and expenditures of $56S,7S4,799, the
surplus in that year being $25669,322.
There has been a tremendous in
crease in receipts in the year just clos
ing, while the expenditures have been
only about $10,0O0,0OO in excess of last
year. The largest increase in receipts
has been from customs, although in
ternal revenue has shown big gain.
The receipts this fiscal year in customs
were $333,230,126, and in internal reve-
rue 70,309,3SS.
The customs receipts last year held
the record up to that time and this
years income from that source is
about $33,00O,000 in excess of last
year.

THEY WANT
JOHN D.
ROCKEFELLER NEEDED
BY CHICAGO JUDGE.
COURT WANTS STANDARD OIL TO
ANSWER CERTAIN
QUESTIONS.

Chicago.-United States writ serv-
ers from the court of Judge Lands
began preparations to. circumvent
steps that may be contemplated by
John D. Rockefeller, head Of the gi-
gantic Standard Oil monopoly, in
evading the necessity Of coming to
Chicago to answer certain questions
that the court will put to him concern
ling the business of the oil trust which
will be put on July 6.
1t was said at the federal building
that the local govement officials are
following out the desire of the ma
tional administration to bring Rookie
Teller to the witness stand where the
financial secrets and inner workings
of the giant corporations may be had.
According to some statements Judge
Lands is in reality aiding President
Roosevelt's trust investigation policy.
United States Attorney Sims recently
went east for mysterious conference
at Washington and it is believed that
he received instructions from the pres
ident to go after the big guns.
Copies of the subpenas issued for
the appearance of Rockefeller have
been sent to every place where it is
thought the oil magnate may be stop
ping. Dispatches from the east today
were unsatisfactory as to the present
whereabouts of the president of the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey,
but wherever he may be there does not
seem much of chance for him to
keep out of the reach of the federal
officers who, it is stated, may use force
in the serving of the writ.
Judge Lands also requested the
United States marshal's Office that all
the subpenas issued be served on all
the officers of the Standard Oil COM
pany, including Mr.. Rockefeller, as
soon as possible.
Where is Rockefeller?
Cleveland, Ohfo-John D. Rookie
Teller is lost. He is not at Forest Hill,
Pontico Hills, with his relatives in
Massachusetts,, at Lakewood, N. j., nor
in Georgia. There are two other places
where he is not. These are in Chicago
and Findlay, Ohio.

FRANCIS MURPHY Is DEAD.
Apostle Of Temperance Was Well
Know to Entire Nation.

Know to Entire Nation.
Los Angeles, Cal.-Francis Murphy,
the apostle of temperance, died Sun
day.
Francis Murphy was an Irishman
by birth, first seeing the light of day
at Wexford on April "a, 1886. He re-
ceived a common school education
and on April 10, 1856. married Miss
Elizabeth J. CHM Of New York. He
served in the Union army during the
civil war and entered upon his IA
nous career as a temperance orator
by speaking at Portland, Me-, April
3, 1870. The organization Of the Tenn
perance Reform Club Of Maine was
largely due to his initiative. and he
became its first president.
1t was at Pittsburg that national
renown was perhaps most clearly
focused upon him and when he spoke
there on November 26. 1876, at q
meeting which resulted in the signing
Of the pledge by $4,000 people in the
"Old Home church"
His fame spread throughout the
country and he made frequent
speeches in behalf Of temperance
with such effect that it is estimated
that 100000 people had signed
pledges of total abstinence through
his efforts. He made a successful
tour of England and served as chap
lain in the war with Spain. His resi-.
dence was established in Pittsburg,
but most Of his time was spent in
travelling, engaged in evangelistic
work.

Maintaining responsibility to. the
last and without word to say in part
ing, Holiver Megorden mounted the
scaffold at the penitentiary at Salem
and one minute later was plunged into
eternity. He had paid the penalty for
the murder of his wife, Mary Megor-
den, in the heat of passion, near Nyssa,
Malheur county, March %, 1905.
While held captive as slave in
Chinatown dens in Portland under
threat of death if she dared venture
to make her escape, Miss Alma Church

ton by detectives who rescued her
that Elmer Lin, her yellow master,
gave away the child when it was but
q few DAYS old.
