Government Purposes That
He Shall Tell History of
the Last IS Years.
CROSS QUESTIONS
Now Are Being Asked But
Company Wants Archbold
TO Tell Last Chapters.

NEW YORK. Nov. 2o-The last
quarter century's wonderful develop
mcnt Of the Standard OH Company
will probably not be touched upon at
9all by John D.. Rockefeller In his
testimony in the government suit to
dissolve this so-calicd trust,
Until moment before adjourn
ment yesterday there had been no In
timation that Rockefeller's direct
narrative of his connection with the
oil Industry from 1860 until the pres
ent time would be interrupted. He
had told of the early days Of business
and the Development OF the company
from that time until 1882. At that
point. however. his counsel called
Rockefeller In his story. 1t was ex-
nounced that the direct examination
OF the witness was completed.
Today when the counsel for tho
government began the cross examina-
toi it was believed he would be fore
ed to coniine his questions to the COM
paratlvely early period described by
Rockefeller in his story 1t is ex-
pectcd that the history of the big
companies in latter years would be
related by John D. Archbold
'Rockefeller took the witness stand
when the hearing was resumed this
morning. His REORGANIZATION was
AT once begun by Frank b. Kellogg.
special assistant district attorney.
At the outset Kellogg said the
cross-examinalon would not he con
fined TO the period between 1862 and
lSS2, concerning which Rockefeller
lgave evidence on his direct examin-
7ation. but would cover also subse-
qucnt developments which were con-
nected directly with those of the
period described by Rockefeller.
During the examination by KEEL
logg 1t was brought out that the
Standards net earnings up to 1906
were s551,922 ,s04. The net earn
inss for 1907 were approximately
eighty million dollars.
Asked about the STANDARD Oil
agreement with the Pennsylvania
railroad in 1877 In which the Penn
sylvania agreed to pay back ten per
cent. of the freight rates which the
Standard paid, Rockefeller said they
sought to secure what all shippers
then and now seek.
He was still on the stand when
recess was taken.

WOO IMMIGRANT DOLLARS.
New York Plans Bureau to Show Why

Albany, N. Y, Mar 2s.-Information
concerning immigration into this state
for the past few years has been given
out from the state department of ag-
riculture in connection with a bill
introduced in the assembly proposing
state department for the collection
of such information, both Industrial
and agricultural, as would be of bene-
fit to the immigrant.
According to the statement, immi-
grants to the number Of 1,O76,463 took
up their residence in New York state
for the time being at least, during the
past three years. A large portion
of these immigrants came here from
southern Europe. where illiteracy is
prevalent. 1t is claimed that during
1907 they sent to their native homes
savings estimated at 5000, 900.
which, had they been Informed of con-
ditions in this country, would have re-
NAMED and been invested here,

Few Here Know This.

When an eminent authority announc-
ed in the Scranton (Pa.) Times that he
had found a new way to treat that
dread American disease, Rheumatism,
with just common, everyday drugs
found in any drug store, the physicians
were slow indeed to attach much i'm
portance to his claims. This was only
a few months ago. Today nearly every
newspaper in the country, even the
m etropolitan dallies, is announcing it
and the splendid results achieved. 1t
lis SO simple that any one can prepare
it at home at a small cost. 1t is made
up as follows: Get from any good pre-
scription pharmacy Fluid Extract of
Dandelion, one half ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by
shaking in bottle and take in tea
spoonful doses after each meal and at
bedtime. These are all simple ingredi-
ents, making an absolutely harmless
home remedy at little cost.
Rheumatism, as every one knows, is
a symptom of deranged kidneys. It is
a condition produced by the failure of
the kidneys to properly filter or strain
from the blood the uric acid and other
matter which, if not eradicated, either
in the urine or through the skin pores,
remains in the blood, decomposes and
forms about the joints and muscles,
causing the untold suffering and de-
formity of rheumatism.
This prescription is said to be SPLEEN
did healing, cleansing and invigorating
tonic to the kidneys, and gives almost
immediate relief in all forms of blad-
der and urinary troubles and backache.
He also warns people in a leading New
York paper against the indiscriminate
use of many patent medicines.

notwithstanding Crime Conn.,
mltted to Get Money for Drink.

Fort Wayne, Ind, Mar 24.-Grover
o. Blake and Orsel Reynolds of An
derson. Ind, were arrested here Sun
day on the charge of numbering
Blake's mother Saturday at Anderson.
Young Blake made a confession after
his arrest, duplicating Reynolds.
He said he had been drinking with
Reynolds and they both needed money.
He went home and entered the kitchen
where his mother was cooking dinner,
according to the confession. Reynolds
was standing guard outside Blake
says his mother accused him of having
been drinking and he went into an
other room and got hammer. He re-
turned, noiselessly crept up behind her
and struck her on the back of the
head. She fell insensible. He says
he then opened her dress and grabbed
bag she had fastened around her
neck which contained money and jew
elry.
While he was upstairs changing his
clothes he heard scream. He re-
turned to the kitchen and says he
found Reynolds standing over his
mothers body, hammer in hand. He
says Reynolds admitted having struck
her when she moved. The two young
men then came to Fort Wayne, spent
the night in carousing and were ar
rested just as they were about to board
a train for Michigan Blake says he
secured $3.50 in money and some dia-
mond rings.

Rebuilt Pianos of well-Known
Makes.


+ Some of the most charming pianos,
and certainly some of the most wonder
fully reasonable in price, are to be
found in the big Exchange Department
in Lyon & Healy's. Here you find
celebrated pianos, such as the Steinway,
Weber, Lyon &, Healy, Hazelton,
Washburn, Sterling, Huntington, ETC.,
that have been traded in for other in
struments. In many cases these up
rights have been exchanged for grand
pianos. Ordinarily such pianos are sold
in the condition received, but in Lyon
& Healy's the little things one does not
like about a piano which stamp it as
several years old, are changed in their
own factories. So these pianos are
brought right down to date in tone,
action and general appearance. Every
trace of use is removed from their
cases, and altogether they are made
substantially as perfect as theday they
left their makers hands. These re-
built pianos give great satisfaction.
If you would like good piano at
about half price, write to Lyon & Healy
for list of instruments in this class.
They will be glad to go into full particu-
lars, and you may depend upon every
statement that they make. Tell them
about what kind of an instrument you
had in view and about how much you
had in mind to pay. Address them 10
Adams Street, Chicago.
Lyon & Healy are the largest piano
dealers in this country.

COMFORTING WORDS.
Many a Cresco Household Will
Find Them So.

To have the pains and aches OF a
bad back removed; to be entirely free
from annoying, dangerous urinary dis
orders is enough to make any kidney
sufferer grateful. To tell how this
great change can be brought about
will prove comforting words to hum
dreds of Cresco readers.
j. H Andrus. stage driver between
Cresco aud Riceville and living at
Cresco, Iowa, says: knew for seven
or eight years, from pains across the
loins and through the kidneys, partic-
larly noticeable in the morning that
my kidneys were not working proper
ly. My occupation aggravates the
complaint and often felt miserable.
While suffering severely l happened
to read about Doan's Kidney Pills and

Results Of the City Election.

Yesterday occurred the hottest city
election ever held in Cresco. Both
sides had their workers out and full
vote was polled, over $50 votes being
cast. The entire citizens ticket was
elected by substantial majorities
ranging from 50 for Davenport to 225
for Tillson. The proposition of placing
the mayors Office on salary basis
carried by about two to one vote but
the figures are not obtainable till the
official canvas is made tonight.
The vote as far as attainable is as
follows:
MAYOR.
1st Ward-Davenport, 100; Kellow, &c
I'd Ward Davenport, 102; Kellow, 119
Acknowledgements, 124; Kellow,ss l12

but Eaton's majority will bring his
total majority up to about 16O.

LIST Ward Young as, Tillson 127.
I'd Ward-Young 10, Tillson LA.
Sd Ward Young 76, Tillson las.
ALDERMEN.
LIST Ward-Marra 129, Holman S..
In the other wards there was no OPP
position to the Citizens ticket with
the exception that Ed Boyle received
one vote against F. B. Tomas.
The result is just what the Plain
Dealer expected and worked for. The
Plain Dealer has no quarrel with Mr..
Kellow personally, but supported Mr..
Davenport in the hopes of releasing
the town from the domination of a
clique of tthe elect" who had failed
to do anything for the town but
keep it in constant state of discord
and turmoil, and also with the hope
that the money spent by the city might
result in some few noticeable improve
ments at least.
A determined and almost malicious
effort was made to make it appear
that the election of Mr.. Davenport
meant wide open town." but even
if such were true, the town could moi
be more wide open" than it was
during the first year of Mr.. Kellow'l
administration. But those who pre-
dicted such a result will be disap
pointed, for Mr.. Davenport's admins
tration will be marked with all due re
gard for law and order.
AS soon as the result Of the election
was known, the band was hired, three
bonfires were kindled and the shouts Of
the delighted victors gave evidence o.
the popular approval of the verdict o.
the CITIZENS of Cresco at the polls

Murder in Fayette County.

highly respected farmer living two
miles northwest of Auburn on the .Wau-
coma road, was murdered in the barn
yard at his home about 8 clock We'd
nesday night. The deed was accom-
plished with sled stake, and the mo-
tive was robbery. Mr.. Whitbeck with
a lantern and two pals went to the
barn after supper to finish doing the
chores. A short time later Mr.. Strick-
land, neighbor, called to see him and
was directed to the barn. Thus the
tragedy was discovered.
Later reports from Fayette county

have been committed by son of the
murdered man. The son left home only
the day before for Minneapolis and has
not since been located. New Hampton

STAYS SWEETHEART AND SELF.
Milwaukee, Wis, Man Administers
Poison to Girl and Then Dies.

Milwaukee, Mar. 24.-Miss Net
tie Plaschek, aged II years, daughter
OF Mrs. Ida Plaschek, 1854 Tenth ave-
nue., died Monday from strychnine
poisoning administered by her sweet
heart, Leo Wojeinski. The fatal drug
was mixed with some ice cream. When
WojeinsM learned Of the death of
his sweetheart, he hasteaed to make the
tragedy a double one by taking a dose
himself. He died an hour later. The
crime was probably inspired because
the mans parents had objected to a
proposed marriage to the young girl
