STANDARD OIL DAIRYMAN.
New Process Of Manufacturing Butter
From Petroleum.

Ii New York, July 9.-The Standard
Oil Company has decided to drive the
COW and the dairyman out of bust.
ness. It's skilled chemists have dis.
covered process whereby they can
make gilt-edged butter as by-product
Of crude petroleum. If reports are
true, plans have been prepared and
contracts soon are to be let for the
erection of big butter-making plant
as a new department of the Standard
oil works at Bayonne, N. ].
1 Since the new process was discov-
cred, every precaution possible has
been taken by Standard Oil officials to
prevent the secret leaking out, and 1t
was only by accident that it became
public. The butter, cream, sweet
milk, buttermilk and cottage cheese
markets soon are to be dominated by
Standard Oil.
None of the officials, chemists or
employees of the Standard Oil Com.
pany will admit that the company
soon was to invade the dairy-product
field.

Council Bluffs Submerged.

. '.
Council Bluffs, Iowa, July 8.-More.
than half of Council Bluffs is under
water today as the result of the over
flowing of Indian creek, which runs
through the heart of the city.
The railroad yards Of the Illinois
Central and the North Western are
under three feet Of water. The whole
eastern part of the town is flooded
and people are going to work in RATS
and boats and hundreds are homeless
as the result of the high water.
The property loss will reach thou
sands Of dollars. The greatest danger
is that the Missouri river will cut
through into Big lake north of Che
city.
The flood has claimed one victim,
Mrs. Mary Krasmiger, 80 years old,
was drowned on her farm just outside

Fear Lives Have Been Lost,

Chillicothe, Mo-, July s.-Heavy
damage has been done and it is feared
that there has been some loss of life
In floods that have inundated property.
Heavy rains have swollen creeks and
rivers until they are far out of their
banks. Railroads have been washed
out and crops in many sections are
ruined. At Gaul, the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul yards are under water,
which is SO deep that in some places
heavy box cars are afloat. The sta
ton agent at Gaul is marooned, the
depot being surrounded by water, from
the overflow of Medicine Creek.
The flow Is so swift that several at
tempts to rescue him by boat have
been unsuccessful
Nearly dozen miles Of track are
washed out in this section.

REVOLUTION IN COLUMBIA
PERIODICAL DISTURBANCE COM
& IN SOUTH AMERICA.
Political Parties In State Of Chaos
and RisInes Are in
/, Progress.

Panama, July 9-Mail advices re
ceived from Columbia report a very
critical condition of affairs, in that re-
public. AS the result OF the departure
of President Reyes for Europe, the
various political parties, which a few
months ago seemed to be united, are
now completely disorganized and there
are indications that Columbia is on the
verge of a great revolution.
The movement on July at Barran-
quilla was successful, the revolutions
lists capturing the forts, the Magdalena
river boats and the custom houses.
At first 1t was believed that the
movement was headed by coalition
Of Conservatives and Liberals, but it
is now learned that the Liberals re-
fused to join in the rising, which was
engineered by the tra-Conservatives.
There is rumor here that certain
influential Columbians are publicly in
favor of following Panama's example
and constituting new republic to be
formed of the departments of Caucau
and Antioquia and part of Bolivar.
1t is considered probable that congress
will not be convened on July 20 as in
tended, as it would probably elect a
successor to President Reyes. who.
under the existing circumstances, will
not be likely to satisfy all parties, and
the desire of President Holgium and
his advisers is to do nothing that
would further develop political pas
sions.

with Mrs. Staber's son George that
killed her.

burglary, while trying to beg or buy a
pair of shoes to replace those which
be had removed while entering the
house. Smith was found hidden under
a bush, bleeding, about mile from
the Staber house. Two pair of shoes
found by the Stabers on their front
steps, the men acknowledged were
theirs. George Staber, son, identi-
fed both men as those who entered
the house.

GRAND JURY REPORTS.
In FOund 81 Indictments,

The grand jury completed its work last
Friday afternoon and came down at 3.35
O'Clock, and submitted the following re-
port:
1.-THE Honorable, the judges of the
Circuit Court for Frederick County.
"rhe Grand jury for the February
Term, having completed its labors beg
leave to submit the following report:
"We have been in session eleven days,
during which time we have examined
200 witnesses, found 81 preselltments and
indictments, and dismissed 3S cases.
1--WE find that there have been many
seeming abuses of the Traders License
Law, where many licenses have been
taken out in the name of females in order
to obtain the reduction conceded females,
when the business is apparently managed
by and is in the name of the husband.
1--WE find a deplorable increase in the
cases of non-support, and many charges
of ill-treatment on the part of the hus-
band.
although not required by law, we
visited Montevue Hospital and found the
same to be in most admirable condi-
ton, which reflects great credit upon the
superintendent, Mr. Samuel U. Gregg;
we would recommend, however, that
more space be allotted colored inmates.
"We visited the county Jail as required
by law, and take pleasure in testifying
to the clearly and orderly condition of
all departments. At the time of our
visit there were confined in the Jail &c
State prisoners, Is males and 2 females,
13 being white and colored.
Having performed our duties with as
much dispatch as was consistent with {
thorough investigation of the matters
brought before us, and having nothing
further claiming our attention, we ash
to be discharged.
Respectfully submitted,
GAMES LEE SIMMONS, Foreman.
Chief Judge Worthington thanked tn
jurors for the promptness with whicl
they had performed their duties, and il
excusing them, said that he hope

attend them during the rest of thei
