RUSSIANS CARRY WAR INTO THE ENEMY’S COUNTRY. Ontpnt of Bpnnmnnt Cloutier! Con< trncteil For nn Part of a Plan Where**- Knumlnn Oil Operator! Will Comprte For American Bnal- neia. New York. 2i —Is the Standard Oil company, acclaimed for decades as a world power, to be assailed in its own country by the most powerful of its adversaries? All indications point to an affirmative answer. There is every reason to be- lieve that Beaumont, the home of the great gushers, is about to become the theater of the conflict between the Standard corporation and the Russian companies which the Standard lias been attacking for years. As far as one may judge from the conditions yet developed it would seem that the Rus- sians, tired of having to fight at home on the defensive, have decided to carry the fight squarely into the enemy’s country. About two mouths ago the announce ment was made that Alfred Stuart & Co. of London had purchased the en- tire outjmt of fifteen Beaumont gush- ers. There was considerable curiosity at the time on whose account this pur chase was made. After some desultory inquiries \h& Beaumont people an- nounced that the purchase was proba- bly for the Northwestern railway of England, which would place oil burn- ers on its locomotives. While it is true that the Northwestern company will substitute oil for coal throughout its system, the railroad will secure its sup- ply elsewhere than through the Alfred Stuart contracts. It lias only now tran- spired thHt this purchase was made on account of interests unquestionably representing the Russian oil producers which have been for years lighting at bay to keep control of the oil business of continental Europe from the grasp of the American octopus. There has been a good deal of mys- tery lately about a number of changes of ownership and other developments affecting transfers of property in the Beaumont section. The utmost secrecy has been maintained concerning these transactions. What little leakage of facts there lias been, however, all goes to establish the theory of the beginning of a tremendous Russian undertaking which has as its aim a contest for su- premacy in the oil business of North America. The idea of the Europeans appears to be that if (lie Americans are forced to tight at home they will discontinue in Europe what has been a most dis- astrous campaign to both parties. There is every reason to believe that an interest in one pipe line has been secured by those people and that some of the terminals at one of the gulf ports have been purchased for them. The fleet of tank steamers, tugs and barges owned by the various operators in the Baku (Russia) fields is of such tremendous extent that it is not likely that there will be need for the purchase nf new boats. Within the week a re- port has come up from the south that the newly organized Beaumont Oil Transportation company is a part of the colossal equipment which the east- erners will use in their American cam- paign. This story, however, has been authoritatively denied by the New York representatives of the transporta- tion company. “We are satisfied with what we have,” said one of the officers of the transportation line. “Most of our stock has already been taken up l.. a number of southern companies which are too well pleased to have a market assured for the product of their gush- ers to take any chances by letting any outsiders in. So far as I know there is not a share of stock for sale in the Beaumont Oil Transportation compa- ny.” This much, then, by way of a begin- ning to what may be one of the great- est struggles in the history of Ameri- can industries. Whatever may be the outcome, it is certainly assured that the contending forces will between them make a market for every gallon of the immense production of which Spindle Top is capable. The rivalry means that wherever there is a chance to introduce this, the cheapest fuel known to commerce, the fuel will be Introduced, no matter what may be the initial expense. It was Inevitable that sooner or later the fuel users of the world would realize the immense sav- ing to be effected through the substi- tution of the Beaumont product. The entrance into the Texas field of this, the only formidable rival which the Standard Oil company has, brings the future down to today. The Russians have been successful wherever they have operated in oil. Their work in the Baku and other southern Russia oilfields has built up producing companies which on tremen- dous capitalization are paying annual dividends as high as 50 per cent. In the capital available, In their knowl- edge of the industry and in ability and experience the Europeans are little be- hind American operators. There will of course be the expected stereotyped denials from all parties di- rectly or remotely concerned. Cor- porations such as the Standard Oil and the great operators in Russian pe- troleum never admit anything. But there has been too much proof adduced to admit any longer of a reasonable doubt. The campaign may be hard on the contesting giants, but it will mean unbounded prosperity to every one in- terested in the Beaumont fields, and, what affects the American people gen- erally, it will be the greatest means that could have been devised for intro- ducing into general use a fuel which will mean a countless saving to all the neople. I mult ~ ~ I 1 Digests VvOCIOI-sr Dyspepsia Cure Indigestion effects so many organs besides the stomach that the na- ture or the disease is sometimes mistaken. Headaches, giddiness, and so-called heart trouble are usually caused by indigestion alone. In such cases it is the stomach trouble which must be cured. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure restores health by digesting your food while the stomach rests. Dieting doesn’t mean rest but starvation. You should relieve the stom- 1 ach without weakening the system by denying yourself proper food. With a sound stomach your other complaints will soon disappear. “After seven years’ suffering from indigestion” writes Mrs. Annie Alcorn of Merideth, Pa. “I was cured by three bottles of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure.” Cures All Stomach Troubles.

In transferring use all nice, straight comb or all comb which you can tit nicely into the frames, except drone comb. Drone comb may be readily distin- guished from the workers’ comb on account of the cells being much larger than worker cells. A locality where bees cannot lay up all necessary stores for their own use and give a surplus for profit will not be a profitable one. Swarming should be controlled to suit the flow of honey, and abundance of daily food should be left the bees for their sustenance. A mistake is often made in com- mencing with bees the latter part of summer or early fall. This is done nsually because bees are then cheap. The best time to begin Is very early In the spring, even though a higher price must be paid. Henry VIII. Henry VIII. was enormously fat and tasily overheated.

Carroll I>. Wright, United States commissioner of labor, has been elect- ed a member of the International In- stitute of Sociology.

President Roosevelt is a charter mem- ber of the American Irish Historical society and was one of the first mem-

bers of the executive council. The oldest veteran to march In the

parade at the last Grand Army re-

Lord Rosebery, it appears, has fol- lowed the fashion of the time in writ- ing a novel. He is said to have taken such pains with it as to destroy and re-

write the mauuscript two or three times.

The business men of Fall River, Mass., are planning to raise a fund for the purchase of a huge loving cup for Matthew C. D. Borden because of his sagacity in averting several disastrous strikes.

Professor E. W. Bern is, who was in- vited to Cleveland, O., last spring to assist In Mayor Johnson’s taxation fight against the railway companies, has been appointed superintendent of the waterworks department of that city.

Pierre Maurier, who died in Genoa the other day at the age of ninety-eight, lived in Elba when Napoleon was sent there and used to carry eggs and fruit to Napoleon’s kitchen. Once the exile emperor scolded him for throwing stones at a dog.

John Holliugshead, who is seventy- four years old, is said to be one of the oldest journalists in active harness to day, as he was on the staff of House- hold Words under Dickens and of The Cornhill Magazine under Thackeray when those publications were first started.

The late Lord Morris did not at first make a favorable impression in the house of lords. One conspicuous mem-

ber is said to have inquired what lan-

Sleepy Grass.

Sleepy grass is fouud in New Mexico, Texas and Siberia. It has a most in- jurious effect on horses and sheep, be- ing a strong narcotic or sedative and causing profound sleep or stupor last- ing twenty-four to forty-eight hours. A horse after eating it is a pitiable ob- ject. its head and tail drooping, its body quivering and sweat pouring down its sides.

Reasons For His Belief. “Do you think, young man,” he said,

“that you will be able to take care of my daughter Flora In the style to which she has been accustomed?”

“I think so, sir,” answered the young man confidently. “She refused to go to the concert with me last week be- cause she said she had ‘nothing to wear.’ ’’—London Fun.

STANDARD OIL TO BE ATTACKED.

RUSSIANS CARRY WAR INTO THE ENEMY’S COUNTRY.

Ontpnt of Bpnnmnnt Cloutier! Con< trncteil For nn Part of a Plan Where**- Knumlnn Oil Operator! Will Comprte For American Bnal-

neia.

New York. 2i —Is the Standard Oil company, acclaimed for decades as

a world power, to be assailed in its own country by the most powerful of its adversaries?

All indications point to an affirmative answer. There is every reason to be- lieve that Beaumont, the home of the great gushers, is about to become the theater of the conflict between the Standard corporation and the Russian companies which the Standard lias been attacking for years. As far as

one may judge from the conditions yet developed it would seem that the Rus- sians, tired of having to fight at home on the defensive, have decided to carry the fight squarely into the enemy’s country.

About two mouths ago the announce ment was made that Alfred Stuart & Co. of London had purchased the en-

tire outjmt of fifteen Beaumont gush- ers. There was considerable curiosity at the time on whose account this pur chase was made. After some desultory inquiries \h& Beaumont people an-

nounced that the purchase was proba- bly for the Northwestern railway of England, which would place oil burn- ers on its locomotives. While it is true that the Northwestern company will substitute oil for coal throughout its

system, the railroad will secure its sup- ply elsewhere than through the Alfred Stuart contracts. It lias only now tran- spired thHt this purchase was made on

account of interests unquestionably representing the Russian oil producers which have been for years lighting at bay to keep control of the oil business of continental Europe from the grasp of the American octopus.

There has been a good deal of mys- tery lately about a number of changes of ownership and other developments affecting transfers of property in the Beaumont section. The utmost secrecy has been maintained concerning these transactions. What little leakage of facts there lias been, however, all goes to establish the theory of the beginning of a tremendous Russian undertaking which has as its aim a contest for su-

premacy in the oil business of North America.

The idea of the Europeans appears to be that if (lie Americans are forced to tight at home they will discontinue in Europe what has been a most dis- astrous campaign to both parties.

There is every reason to believe that an interest in one pipe line has been secured by those people and that some

of the terminals at one of the gulf ports have been purchased for them. The fleet of tank steamers, tugs and barges owned by the various operators in the Baku (Russia) fields is of such tremendous extent that it is not likely that there will be need for the purchase nf new boats. Within the week a re-

port has come up from the south that the newly organized Beaumont Oil Transportation company is a part of the colossal equipment which the east- erners will use in their American cam-

paign. This story, however, has been authoritatively denied by the New York representatives of the transporta- tion company. “We are satisfied with what we have,” said one of the officers of the transportation line. “Most of our

stock has already been taken up l.. a

number of southern companies which are too well pleased to have a market assured for the product of their gush- ers to take any chances by letting any outsiders in. So far as I know there is not a share of stock for sale in the Beaumont Oil Transportation compa- ny.”

This much, then, by way of a begin- ning to what may be one of the great- est struggles in the history of Ameri- can industries. Whatever may be the outcome, it is certainly assured that the contending forces will between them make a market for every gallon of the immense production of which Spindle Top is capable. The rivalry means that wherever there is a chance to introduce this, the cheapest fuel known to commerce, the fuel will be Introduced, no matter what may be the initial expense. It was Inevitable that sooner or later the fuel users of the world would realize the immense sav-

ing to be effected through the substi- tution of the Beaumont product. The entrance into the Texas field of this, the only formidable rival which the Standard Oil company has, brings the future down to today.

The Russians have been successful wherever they have operated in oil. Their work in the Baku and other southern Russia oilfields has built up producing companies which on tremen- dous capitalization are paying annual dividends as high as 50 per cent. In the capital available, In their knowl- edge of the industry and in ability and experience the Europeans are little be- hind American operators.

There will of course be the expected stereotyped denials from all parties di- rectly or remotely concerned. Cor- porations such as the Standard Oil and the great operators in Russian pe- troleum never admit anything. But there has been too much proof adduced to admit any longer of a reasonable doubt. The campaign may be hard on the contesting giants, but it will mean unbounded prosperity to every one in- terested in the Beaumont fields, and, what affects the American people gen- erally, it will be the greatest means that could have been devised for intro- ducing into general use a fuel which will mean a countless saving to all the neople.

Digests

VvOCIOI-sr Dyspepsia Cure

Indigestion effects so many organs besides the stomach that the na- ture or the disease is sometimes mistaken. Headaches, giddiness, and so-called heart trouble are usually caused by indigestion alone. In such cases it is the stomach trouble which must be cured. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure restores health by digesting your food while the stomach rests. Dieting doesn’t mean rest but starvation. You should relieve the stom- 1

ach without weakening the system by denying yourself proper food. With a sound stomach your other complaints will soon disappear. “After seven years’ suffering from indigestion” writes Mrs. Annie Alcorn of Merideth, Pa. “I was cured by three bottles of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure.”

HIVE AND BEE.

In transferring use all nice, straight comb or all comb which you can tit nicely into the frames, except drone comb.

Drone comb may be readily distin- guished from the workers’ comb on

account of the cells being much larger than worker cells.

A locality where bees cannot lay up all necessary stores for their own use and give a surplus for profit will not be a profitable one.

Swarming should be controlled to suit the flow of honey, and abundance of daily food should be left the bees for their sustenance.

A mistake is often made in com-

mencing with bees the latter part of summer or early fall. This is done nsually because bees are then cheap. The best time to begin Is very early In the spring, even though a higher price must be paid.

Henry VIII.

Henry VIII. was enormously fat and tasily overheated. At the slightest ex-

ertion his face became purple.

Soldierly Birds. On a parade ground at Calcutta are

several adjutants, or argalas. These birds, which belong to the stork tribe, walk up and down the ground, and they look so much like soldiers that at a distance strangers often mistake them for grenadiers.

Saxony. Of all Gorman states Saxony has the

densest population, 281.1 to the square kilometer, while in the empire at large it is 104.2.

Mineral Water*. An enormous capital is Invested In

the mineral water industry in Great Britain. It is probably not overesti- mating the figure to put it at £15,000,- 000, while the workers employed will number not far short of 100,000.

German Drug Stores. In Germany there is one physician to

every 2,058 persons, but only one drug store to every 10,303 persons.

Gold Pens. Gold pens are now usually tipped

with iridium. The bits o( this metal are laid in notches at the point of the pen, then fastened on with flux, being afterward ground and polished for use.

Pineapple*. Pineapples, either raw or cooked, are

recommended to persons with weak throat.

Rifle Mnssle Velocity. It appears that the greatest velocity

of a title ball is not at the muzzle, but some distance in front. An average of ten shots with the German infantry ri- fle has shown a muzzle velocity of 2,008 feet per second, with a maximum velocity of 2,132 feet per second at ten feet from the muzzle.

Slant Like* Odd Number*. The number of rooms in a house, of

windows or doors in a room, even of rungs of a ladder, in Siam must always be odd.

Honeycomb. Tlie bees were the first canners, and

tnci) goods will keep for all time if stored in the right kind of an apart- ment free from frost and dampness.

Army Foods.. *

Ail European armies have certain ex-

tras weekly in the way of food. Sugar is given iu England and France, two

gallons of beer iu Itussia, half a gallon of wine in Italy, three pounds of flsh in Spain and five ounces of butter in Belgium.

Enteric Fever. Men over forty are practically proof

against enteric fever.

Worth of llnbblsh. It Is estimated that about $10,000

worth of what is considered to be "rubbish” is thrown into the streets by the Parisians every day. This means

nearly $3,750,000 per annum for the chiffonniers, and, counting their wives and families, nearly 100,000 persons live very comfortably upon their share of it.

Itorwsf Butter.

Norway makes excellent butter, but most of it is sent to London, and tour- ists in Norway have to put up with margarine.
