DEATH CONQUERLNG
ROCKEFELLER'S FOE

the Standard Oil Co. He tired of
the fight against the Standard and
sold out in 1883 for 5000 shares of
Standard Oil trust certificates.
Then he embarked in the iron
business. He and Frank Rockefel-
Ter, brother of John, bought mine
on Lake Superior.
1t was in the deal with John that
followed that John and Frank
Rockefeller became bitter enemies.
Corrigan had put 100000 into a
fleet of steamers and went into
other enterprises. all of which were
prospecting when hard times in the
iron trade came in the early 90s.
Corrigan had to have money He
went to John. John loaned freely;
first $4,000, then $4,000, then
$4,000. Corrigan paid Z per cent
and gave his Oil certificates as Sc
curity, besides a mortgage on his
vessels.
Soon John D. had all Corrigan's
interests in trust. Then Frank
Rockefeller had to borrow from
John. Corrigan Endorsed his note.
Panic in 1898. Corrigan couldn't
meet interest on his borrowings
from John d. In February, 1895.
Rockefeller had Corrigan's Stand
ard Oil stock.
Rockefeller bought it in at $16S
a share. Within month Standard
Oil stock was selling at $1S5.
This was the point of the deal.
Corrigan claimed that John d.
knew the stock must go up when
he bought it in at $16S He held
that Rockefeller as trustee should
have put him in possession of
these facts.
Standard Oil went on up. Corri-
gan sued. The case went to the
highest court. Corrigan lost. The
law was with Rockefeller.

TEACH POSTAL
SYSTEM IN
SCHOOLS

Postmaster Harrison received the
following order yesterday from the
postotfice department, signed by
g. V. l.. Meyer, postmaster general:
''Postmasters are hereby directed
to confer with their local school
authorities with the view of adopt
ing the most effective method of
instructing school children as to
the organization and operations of
the postal service. These instruc-
the service as the delivery of the
mails, the classification of mail
matter, the registry and money or
der systems, and particularly the
proper addressing of letters and
the importance of placing return
cards on envelopes. PostmasterS
should arrange, if possible. to de-
liver personal talks to the pupils
on these subjects and should give
teachers access to the postal guide
and the postal laws and regulations
and render them every assistance
in securing necessary information. :"
This matter will be taken up at
once by this Office and the school
authorities of the city of Spokane
said Mr. Harrison in discussing the
new order, Il shall suggest that
instruction be given to the differ
ent schools by some representative
of this office, such instructions to
be followed by visits of the classes
to the postofiice for inspection Of
its workings.
This move, which has been I'M
der consideration for some time,
deserves public endorsement, In
struction in the operation of the
postal system will no doubt be pro
ductive of results in aiding the de.
partment in the rapid and correct
delivery of mail. The postal sys-
tenn belongs to the people, and it
behooves them TO become more ia
Iniliar with its operation"

BY r. r. FRAZIER.

NEW YORK Sept. 23.-It may be
that serious break in the repub-
lican national committee will not
come, publicly, before election.
And then again maybe one will.
The private break has already
occurred
This is the information given out
by a member of the advisory COM
mittee of the national committee,
who is in a position to be sure of
his facts. This mans version of the
situation is as follows:
When the advisory committee
held its first meeting early this
month, it was not called by Hitch
cock. and before 1t was over the
members who did call it forced the
national chairman into such a posi-
ton that he offered to resign.
"Old time leaders and men who
have been accustomed to give
largely to campaign funds have
been lily treated by Hitchcock, He
has kept them waiting for hours in
his anteroom in the Metropolitan
tower while he talked to men of
minor magnitude. When he has
seen them he has neither been cor
dial nor confidential. In this way
he has alienated the big men and
their money Cornelius " Bliss
and Governor Murphy of New York
are said to have practically refused
to have any further dealings with
him.
when the advisory committee
meeting was called by its members
Murphy refused to attend. and
Charles P. Taft and Norys were not
present. The committee demanded
of Hitchcock that he tell them the
exact situation. 1t developed that
his much talked of organization
was composed of congressman
clerks-many of them bright, no
doubt, but all young and inexperi-
anced Hitchcock appeared to be
depending upon this organization
for his information and guidance.
The committee wanted to know
why the Bryan arguments were not
answered by the speakers bureau.
And Hitchcock is said to have re-
piled that he had never read Bry-
ans speeches. However, he called
in three assistants and asked them
about them. 1t developed that moth
ing had been done to make a vigOr-
Gus reply to Bryan from the repub-
lican stumps.
Hitchcock explained that he was
going to get lot of speakers into
the field pretty soon. One member
asked him where he was going to
get the money for expenses.

says two men beating their way
from near Missoula, We're held up
in a box car by masked man
coming into Hope, and one Of them,
David Furman, was seriously
wounded by a revolver shot. The
rObber came into the car while the
two men, Furman and John Wilson,
were sleeping. He lighted a can
die and kicked the men, covering
them with pistol, and demanding
their money. They handed over a
cheap watch and five cents from
one and 10 cents from the other.
They had considerable money
about their persons, but it was
concealed.
Furman had rifle beside him,
which the robber had not noticed.
AS the robber turned Furman fired
four shots at him with the gun, but
so far as known did not succeed
in hitting him. The rObber coolly
turned and fired one shot from his
revolver, hitting Furman in the
face, decorating his nose and lips.
The hOldup man was described
as being a short, heavy set man
and wore a cap and mask. Later
another man appeared in Hope and
reported that he had been robbed
and thrown out of a car. He was
badly cut about the face. He sus-
pected the brakeman of being the
one who threw him from the car.
