Indianapolis, July 30.--The property
appraisement of Indiana corporations
for 1906, as made by the state board
of tax commissioners, shows an inof approximately $16,000,000
over the valuation for 1905. Of this amount $12,000,000 is due to increased valuation of steam railroads. The reof the increase is distributed
among electric lines, telephone and
telegraph companies, express compapipe line companies and other small corporations. Reductions Are Very Few. There are comparatively no reduc
tions in the appraisements of 1905. Both the Postal and Western Union Telegraph companies' rate of appraiseper mile was increased $415. The Adams Express company's rate was infrom $348 a mile to $657, by far the greatest increase among excompanies. The Louisville and Jeffersonville Bridge company shows the greatest valuation and the largest increase. Its appraisement on main line property in 1905 was $125,000.

Cleveland, July 30.--Neither the proof the government nor of th state authorities against the Standard Oil company are worrying John D. Rockefeller in the slightest. He is not giving them the least thought or atThis was the emphatic statement of Dr. H. F. Biggar, physician t and traveling companion of RockeDr. Biggar left Rockefeller in New York Saturday after a six weeks' sojourn with Mr. and Mrs. Rockefeller and party in northern France. He has
reached Cleveland. When he left New York the immediate plans of the Rockefellers had not been settled. Doesn't Even Think Standard Oil. "Mr. Rockefeller and wife will be at Forest Hill this week I am certain," said Dr. Biggar. "They may come toand it may be Wednesday. If it has been reported that Mr. Rockeis disturbed over proceedings against the Standard Oil company and the bringing in of his name in this connection quite the contrary is true. Rockefeller has been having a few weeks of recreation and rest. He has not been thinking about Standard Oil
The man who owns a phonograph Imagines that his fellow men Are dying Just to hear that tune Over and over again. It never seems to come to him, The thought profound and deep, That some of them who live hard by Might like a little sleep. He thinks they hurry home from work Anticipating joys In sitting on their porch at night And listening to the noise. He turns the crank a time or two, Sits back and lets her go, And "Suwanee River" roams at large And wanders to and fro. He thinks that any noise he hears Is meant for an encore, And so he winds it up again And plays the tune once more. He works off all the ancient tunes And all the modern stuff Until the poor machine must be Inclined to cry, "Enough!" And when at last he chokes it off, Goes in and blows the light You know that he will open up And play them all next night.

for twelve years?" Enjoyed His Trip Immensely.
Asked if Rockefeller believed that
because he had been out of the active
life of the great corporation for years this fact would render him immune
from any possible legal attack Dr. Rig-
gar replied: "That is a matter I know
nothing about. Mr. Rockefeller has
never talked on the subject so far as I know." According to Dr. Biggar
Rockefeller was never in better health and spirits than now. "He enjoyed
his vacation trip to France immense
