nothing had been coming his way except

him, in cold and unfeeling manner, that

"Of course not" he smiled delightedly.

Many rare and valuable paintings have

~ Ubaf obey Say y

The Peoples Forum

He had extended an invitation to the
patrons to be present and the good
women to bring along something to
eat. The result was that about fifty
patrons were there and the ladies
had along, not small baskets, but
large boxes of delicious food such as
we can enjoy only in the country.
To say our appetites were satisfied
would be putting it mildly; we simp-
ly regretted that our capacity for
more was so limited.
After very sumptuous dinner at
which time many ludicirous pleasan-
tries were exchanged, the teacher
called everybody to order and pro-
ceeded with the program. We must
make special mention of beautiful
song composed by the noble King
Oscar of Sweden and sung in that
language by Miss Hulda Trigg, a
class poem by Laura Ode and very
impressive recitation by little Miss
Gabel. The entire program was we'll
rendered and the people of Gibbs
have just reason to feel proud of the
excellent work in the school.
The teacher and patrons of this
district are to be commended and
congratulated upon inaugurating this
method of coming together in the
school room. Increased interest in
and attention to the school will be
the result and we feel safe in pre-
dieting that this will not be the last
meeting of this kind in the Gibbs
district.

made a good crossing of cinders at

Testimony Showed How Com.

and Tabled

Cleveland, O., Mar Histories oil
the absorption of rivals, dismantling
of competing plants, gathering OF
information regarding customers Of
opponents and the method in which
some of the information was obtained
from railways by the Standard Oil
company, were features of the hear
ing before Special Examiner Ferris
here today in the governments Gus
ter suit against the Standard Oil com
pany.
Richard T. Cooke of Indianapolis
the Indiana secretary and treasurer
of the National Refining company, ties.
tifying for the government, said he
was agent of the Standard Oil com
pany at Columbus, Indiana in 1894-95
and later spent several years with the
company in an executive position in
Indianapolis and Cincinnati. He
stated that while at Columbus in
formation was given him by man
named Taylor, employed by the Penn.
sylvania railroad company regarding
shipments of oil received by ri
walls.
He said he was informed of all the
oil handled in his territory and used
the information for the purpose of
tracing customers of competing
companies and attempting to line
them up" for the Standard Oil com.
pany. Cooke said he never offered
to cut prices for their trade, but used
regular methods, such as saying his
oil was better and could be obtained
easier.
Cooke testified that he received as
much credit for reporting sales of
rivals as if he had made sale for
the Standard Oil company.
While in Indianapolis, he said, re
ports were handed him by boy. re
garding the shipments of rivals in
and out OF indianapolis. These re.
ports were somewhat of mystery to
him, but he was of the opinion they
came from the Office of the state oil
inspector. Cooke also stated that for
IS month the Standard Oil company
received a report daily from freight
handler in Logansport, Ind, as to oil
received by one Fromeyer, an indie
pendent dealer in Logansport.
Cooke told of the starting of "bo
gus" Independent companies for the
purpose of selling oil to those who
were prejudiced against the Standard
Oil company and the starting of sew
eral bona fide independent companies
which latter were purchased by t
Standard Oil company and the plants
sold.
The testimony of John j. Shea Of
Terre Haute, Ind, an independent
dealer, was concluded. Shea said his
profits as dealer were usually be
tween 80 and 100 percent, and thai
he made a good living. although he
had been opposed by the Standard OF
company, but Intellectually. He still
is In business.

''Yes SIR ~
"Who was the party?"
Lawrence Speer saw my secretary
first and few days later called me
up on the telephone, and it was over
the telephone that he spoke to me
directly. He had previously written
me that there was matter of mutual
interest about which he wished to
confer with me, and I replied that
would be glad to confer with him.
He said over the telephone subse-
quently that he understood I want
ed to go on the naval committee and
that his company would be able to
help me, had influence to bring that
about if stood right on submarines. .
Mr. Omlstead: did he say In

Mr.. Olmstead: I'VE would like to

Mr.. Hobson further said that Mr..
Speer had informed him he would
have to "look out for Mr.. Williams .

Mr.. Olmstead: '"The idea was that

Williams, they would do the rest?'

would use their influence to have me

Oysters Go to Waste.

Baltimore, December 49, Since
the oyster season has opened thous-
ands of bushels of fine Chesapeake
Bay oysters have gone to waste the
dealers being unable to find a
market which would net reasonable
profit.
For the first time since the con-
federate war, probably, a dozen of
eggs will buy bushel of oysters,
and that bushel will open nearly a
gallon. The cost of the opening, 20
cents is almost the price of the
oysters.
This is the best season for oysters
in a good many years, but for the
oyster packer and shipper it is the
poorest in many seasons.
The oysters are large, fine and
plentiful, but there is no market
for them. The stringent times is
largely responsible.
1t is thought that the arrival of
the holiday season will result in an
increased demand for the bivalves,
but in the meantime the concerns
engaged in the oyster business have
suffered heavy loss through their
inability to market their product.

torney Wagner, no action has been
taken in the judiciary committee
toward his confirmation, but the
nomination was sent to the same
subcommittee which last session
held it up and prevented confrma-

the junior senator will take the
same position as last session and
prevent confirmation this session.
The fight among Bonesteel, Gregory,
Dallas and Burke, for the location
OF the land office, which is to be
removed from Mitchell to Gregory,
Trip county, is red hot. Martin
and kittredge are for Dallas, while
Gamble is for Gregory. Delegations
from the two last named places are
here working hard.
The land Office favors Dallas be-
cause OF its superior advantages of
location. according to the Dallas
people, but the decision will pretty
nearly rest with Senator Gamble.
Political considerations all favor
Gregory because the politicians at
Dallas supported the Kittredge or
ganization in the last fight. Sena-
tor Gamble gives assurance he will
lot be decided by such considera-
ions, but the impression is strong
nat he will line up for Gregory.
