of the Standard Oil company today
received their quarterly dividend
checks amounting TO $40 a share on

vidends paid by the company to date,
counting the capital at $97.50O,0 900
amount to 1898, 100000. In 1905, be-
fore the federal investigation of the
company was instituted, the stock
was selling at $605, yielding 661 per
cent. Its highest market price was
established in 1901, when 1t sold at
$S42 during the first week in May.

ket value. The prevailing price at

that she is unable to dist nguish be-
tween right and wrong"
DR.. Evans, expert I'm the Thaw case,
testified: II am OF the opinion that
she was insane and not able TO dis

ELECTRIC LINE TO wALLowA.
Movement Started to Build Line Over
Blue Mountains.

Walla Walla. Nov. 26.-To secure
advantage of the market facilities,
the business men and farmers in the
rich Wallowa valley have started a
movement to build an electric rail-
way from Enterprise, Ore, to connect
with the proposed electric line which
is being promoted by capitalists of
this city.
Running through some of the most
fertile agricultural and timber re-
gions of easern Oregon, this line will
open to the business men OF Walla
Walla a trade Of unusual magnitude
and stability. At the present time
the business interests in the vicinity
of Enterprise are greatly hampered
by inadequate market facilities.
Discouraged by the repeated post
ponement Of the construction of the
promised o. r. & N. railroad, capi-
talists in that locality have decided
to finance the construction of the new
road.

has been issued by the Helena, Mont,
Commercial club for a meeting of the
citizens Of the state to be held here
today for the purpose Of forming a
state association to bring about the
securing from congress of just share
of the river and harbor appropria-
tion for the betterment Of the Mis-

tion. The movement has the en-
dorsement of the Montana delegation
in congress.

GET TEAM AND WAGON
Horse Thieves Ply Trade
Under the Shadow of
Police Headquarters.

Horse thieves in the very center of
Hammond, within a few yards of the
local police station. The fact seems
ircredulous but two empty stalls IN
the stables of Mrs StoItz on Holman
street. south Of the Central school,
showed that IT was true this morning
The break occurred last night or early
this morning and the police of Ham
mond, Gary East Chicago and the
marshals and constables of surrounding
cities and towns are now on the look
out for the thieves and the outfit
The two horses were owned by A. E.
CrowelI. expressman. of 207 South Hoh-
man street. One was a big bay mare,
weighing 400 pounds, while the other
was bay horse. 1900 pounds weight.
Both horses were valuable and the
thieves also took a broad tired wagon
along with them. The door of the
stable was forced open and the horses
to ken from the stalls harnessed and
driven away. The boldness of the work
was one of the things that made the
robbery possible. 1t is thought that
the men drove South and that they
viii attempt to sell the horses to some
farmer or to some contractor on con-
struction work.

GARY REJOICES AS Street
CAR ROAD WORK PROGRESSES

Gary. Ind. Dec. 1O.-(SpeciaD There
has probably been no more welcome
sight in Gary since it's inception than
the large gang of men at work on
south Broadway putting in the road
bed for the Gary and Interurban com
pany's lines.
While it is generally conceded that
the steel company should have had the
franchise. and if it came to vote that
company would probably be awarded
the franchise, yet it is the wish of
every one who has the welfare OF the
city at heart, to see the trolley cars
running, and the sooner this happens
the better.
The people generally are willing to
see the Gary and Interurban company
go ahead with the work. and If the
rights for which they are contending
are lost, it is expected that some COM
promise will be affected by which the
actual improvements made will be paid
Cor by the steel company's line.

SO Dragon Kuezeno Had no
Difficulty Getting Rid
of It For Cash.

to a cashiers check caused a saloon
keeper to hand over $40 yesterday al

South Chicago newspaper and busi-
ness house and was printed on common
paper such as is used in the news

money would be paid out on the re-

keeper. was arrested by the police of
Hammond and his case win probably
