From Restaurants to Oil.
Operations such as these have been
conducted for the last three years,
and as a result the country has seen
chains of drug stores and an ever in
creasing procession of popular priced
restaurants.
1t was admitted at the Office of the
Hegeman Company that several of
the Standard Oil men had as individ-

NEGROES KILL NEwsBoY.
Three Black Rivals Set Upon White
Youth and Stab Him.

Knoxville, Tenn. Allison Harri-
son, a seventeen-year-old newsboy,
while carrying two big bags of news
papers was assaulted by three little
negro boys on the outskirts of the
city and killed. Oliver Ball, aged
fifteen, and Ernest and Richard Ar
mold, the latter twins, aged thirteen,
were sent to Jail, charged with the
crime. Two eye witnesses, negress
and white man, tell conflicting stories
as to the origin of the trouble.
Handicapped by the two bags of
papers, one on either arm, Harrison
could make little resistance, and
while two of the negroes held him
one stabbed him over the heart.
Death followed in twenty minutes.
The negroes all sell papers, but
Harrison seemed to prosper more,

men, with Standard Oil dividends, are
reaching out for the larger retail
trade.
They are applying to the field of
investment the Standard Oil methods
which have proven so potent in every
line of competitive business to which
they have previously been applied.
The retail lines which have recent
ly attracted the attention of the men
who have been trained by the master
hand of John D. Rockefeller embrace:
Drugs,
Soap,
Candies,
Peanuts,
Milk,
Starch,
Glucose products,
Restaurants.
For more than a year the work
of absorbing or, at any rate, gaining
a controlling interest in enterprises,
which in many instances seem to
have no connection with the produc-
ton of oil, has been going on quietly
but actively, and the complete roster
probably would make interesting
reading.
Acquiring Many Businesses.
Some OF these concerns IN wnlch

pany, Childs chain of restaurants,
the Corn Products Refining Company,

KILLED ON WEDDING EVE.
Boy Resenting Spanking Shoots
Aunt's Fiance.

Keokuk, Iowa.-Enraged at a
spanking, Charles Alexander, nine
years old, shot and killed George
Jones, a guest in his home here.
Jones was to have been married the
next day to Mrs. Lena Hammond, the
boys aunt.
Jones had been teasing the lad,
and threatened earlier in the day to
spank him. During the afternoon he
caught him, in romp, turned him
across his knee and spanked him
in play
When Jones released him, the boy
went into the house without a word
and going to the attic got his fathers
shotgun. He found Jones in the par
lor, talking to Mrs. Hammond, and
fired at him from the doorway.
The boy declared he did not know
the gun was loaded. He says he got
it to frighten Jones.

State.
Frankfort, XIV. S. Taylor, de-
posed as Governor Of Kentucky in
January, 1900; Charles Finley, who
held the Office of Secretary of State;
John L. Powers, John w. Davis,
zach Steele, and Harlan Whitta-
ker, all of whom were indicted for
the murder of William Goebel, have
been pardoned before trial by Gov
ernor Augustus E. Wilson.
Governor Wilson has thus dis
posed of the famous Goebel case,
which has played prominent part
in politics since the assassination at
Frankfort more than nine years ago.
He gave pardons several months ago
to Caleb Powers and James Howard,
both II whom had been convicted of
the murder of Goebel Henry E.
Youtsey 10 serving life sentence for
the crime, but Governor Wilson de-
clares he is directly guilty.
Taylor and Finley are now in In
diana, where they fed Immediately
after Goebel died John Powers,
who is brother of Caleb Powers,
also left the State, and is believed to
be in Honduras.
Governor Wilson reiterates the
belief he expressed when he par
doned Caleb Powers and James B.
Howard, that no one but Y0utsey
had part in the murder, and that it
was not conspiracy, as the Com
monwealth charged.
Governor Wilson states that no
demand has been made on him by
the Commonwealth for requisition
to bring the fugitiyes back to Ken
tucky, and it is evident that no at
tempt will be made to prosecute
than.
Steele, Davis and Whitaker never
left the State, and although they
were in custody for some time, they
were not brought to trial. Not one
of those pardoned at this time has
ever been tried on the Indictment
found against him After Taylor
and Finley fed to Indiana the Gov
ernor of that State declined to grant
a requisition for their return, and
succeeding Governors followed his ex-
ample.
These pardons ends one of the most
remarkable murder cases in the his
tory of the South. William Goebel,
Democrat, was assassinated in front
Of the Kentucky State Capitol while
ue was contesting the election of w.
5. Taylor to the Governorship. The
contest Sad caused great excitement,
and thousands of men were armed,
ready for trouble. The Legislature
aeposed Taylor, and he and Finley
were indicted on charge of COM
plicity in the murder They both fed
across the Ohio River into Indiana
Caleb Powers, then Assistant Secre-
cary of State, was arrested and
charged directly with the murder. He
was convicted twice for first degree
murder, but Governor Wilson par
doned him. He is now on lecturing
tour through the country.
Requisitions for Taylor and Finley
oy three Democratic Governors of
Kentucky were refused by three Re-
publican execGtives in Indiana. When
Governor Wilson, who is a Republi-
can, was elected it was forecast that
an end would be put to the whole
case. One OF his first acts was the
oardoning of Caleb Powers.

SULTAN'S PALACE
IN FOES HANDS
Guard OF 1000 AIbanians Sur
renders to Young Turks.
MAI BEY ASSUMES COMMAND
Martial Law Proclaimed by the Com
mander of the Young Turks
Advisers of the Sultan Will Have
to Die.

Constantinople, Turkey. The end
of Sultan Abdul Hamid's power came,
Yildiz palace garrison surrendered
Internationally. During the night
hundreds had been killed in hand-to-
hand fighting. Heavy guns had been
moved up to destroy the palace at
sunrise. Seeing that further resist
ance was hopeless the Sultan gave the
command to surrender.
Niazi Bey, the ablest and most fear
less of the Turkish commanders, and
known as "the Hero of the July revo-
luton" took his own command into
the palace, declared that strife was
at an end and that the fate of the
Sultan would be determined by a
council of the Constitutional party.
"The life of Abdul Hamid will be
protected" he announced His
future will be settled either by Par
lament or by the leaders of our ma
tional movement.
The Sultan is said to be within the
walls of the Yildiz Kiosk, where, in
company with his ministers, he had
waited for the outcome of the strug-
gle between his loyal troops and the
army Of investment, each hour bring
ing to him word of fresh disas-
ter. His authority is gone forever.
Whether his fate shall be death, exile
Dr. Imprisonment, no one now can
ioretell, The chief plotters in his pal
ace are all under arrest and will prob
ably receive capital punishment.
The last garrison to surrender was
the Selimieh artillery barracks, in
Scutari, opposite Stamboul. Four
thousand men stationed there with
100 guns threatened to blow the city
into ruins, but General Schefket or
dered up sixty big guns and several
batteries of machine rifles to positions
which commanded the barracks, and
the cruiser Mejidieh steamed out of
range of the field pieces and prepared
for action. The commander of the
barracks thereupon submitted, and
the artillerymen marched out as the
troops of the other garrisons already
have been, without arms, to await
transfer to outlying districts,
The proclaiming of martial law in
Constantinople and environs was fol-
lowed by circular note, which was
sent to each of the foreign Ambassa-
dors. 1t read:

Excellency that, in view of the cir
cumstances, a state of siege begins to-

NIAGARA's ICE PACK BROKEN.
All Danger From Flood is Past Now,
Says Engineer Kunze.

Youngstown, N. Y.-The giant ice
jam, broken by dynamite, was carried
away by the strong current of Niagara
River The dynamiting was per-
sistent, and it opened a breach
through which the mammoth masses
in the upper river can sail without
scratch. Faults and assures criss-
cross the lower end of the stream,
water is fighting ice for surface space
opposite Lewiston and the upper river
has ousted the greater portion of the
encroaching foe.
The relief work thus far has cost
about $4,000. The six tons of dyna-
mite alone, five exploded and one in
store in the magazine of the fort, cost
$2160.
More dynamite was exploded in the
heart of the remaining ice pack, but
Engineer Kunze says that all danger
is past.
