OIL TRUST IS JOLTED

Juror Who Stood for tha Defend ant in the Ohio Case Converted. STAND AED GUILTY AS CHARGED Say Twelve Good Men and True After a Long Wrestle. Case To Be Appealed Three Throuch Courts, if Necessary Attorney General Ellis's Comments New York Central's Heavy Fine. FIndlay, O., Oct. 20. After wres tling for thirty-two hours with one man, the other eleven of the Standard Oil case jury having been a unit for conviction from the start, the stubborn juror was brought around t the majority and at 4 a. m. Judge Banker was waked from his slumbers with the news that an agreement had been reached. In reaching this agreement much argument had been expended) and many ' hymns sung, but whether it was the hymns or the argument! which was effective on the single juror has not transpired at this writing. Telephone Got Busy. When the report of agreement came to the waiting bailiff from the jury room he proceeded to put the telephone at work and in a short time the judge, Frosecutor David and Attorney Troup, the Standard Oil counsel, were roused! out of their slumbers by the ringing of their telephone bells. In a half hour these gentlemen representing the court, the state and the defense were In the court room. The jury was ordered in. As the men filed into the jury box there was no longer any doubt that they had reached a final decree in the case. Every face bore an animated look of satisfaction and pleasure. Jury Reports for Conviction. The usual question were put, developing that the defendant had been found guilty on every count In the information. The Standard Oil counsel waived the polling of the jury, that body was thanked and commended by the judge and discharged, and the final battle between the great corporation and the state of Ohio was ended in victory for the state. Prosecutor David stated that he would take no action in the case against John D. Rocke- ; feller until the supreme court passes ! on the jurisdiction of. the Standard ; cases. 'I do not-want to run up a bis bill of expense on Hancock county I and then have the supreme court step in and set the cases aside for want of jurisdiction." a died David. COMMENT ON THE!

Oil verdict: "This is n great triumph ; for good government. It is gratifying 1 ! to all w ho believe that the laws should I operate eo.ually upon the most powcrj ful corporation as well as upon the humblest individual in the state. "What will be the ultimate result of the verdict at Fimllay and the rcmark- ; aide facts brought out at the trial cannot yet be determined. There ought to be no desire cn the part of anybody to oust the Standard Oil company from doing business in this state. We want their capital, their business enterprise .and their Industrial development to stay in Ohio. and. of course, there is no danger that they will abandon any Property or investments."

Humor end Philosophy, By DUNCAN M. SMITH

PERT PARAGRAPHS. Promises are pleasant things, but Exocers don't receipt your bills for them. The prayer that is made with both hands is the one that is most apt to be answered. Not to have been evil seems to be the idea of achievement that many people have. A dictionary Is a large book that most people have lying about to give an air of learning to the establishment kroner A young and pretty sister is a de lightful thing to have If she is some other fellow's sister. It Is not a bad Idea to count those people your friends who successfully keep out of your way. Calls to duty are of various kinds, but those are easiest heard which hare the largest salary attached. Fearlessness usually has its root la Ignorance. Some people try to get to heaven at excursion rates. Music For the Masses There are several kinds of musla That are rated pretty fair. Some of It yeu have to pay for, Borne of it la free as air, Xut no music Is so gladsome As the bright and cheerful tuna That comes floating- round the corner When the whistle blows at noon. Slowly draaa away the morning In the office r the shop; Time is certainly a laggard. Almost threatening to stop; Heavy grows the pen and ledger, Saw and hammer take on weight. But they fall down when the whlstla Opens up the noonday gate. In the piercing Intonatton Of the message that ft sing There are promises in plenty Without any kind of stringsBest, rag chewing or a saunter And a pipe or two, no doubt. Not to mention tho substantial That the dinner pail pans out There are melodies in plenty That assail our weary ears F.agtime, classic, steam piano And the musto of the spheres,1 Then Is piping la the gloamtaj?, Th';re Is baying at the moonBut they're every one back numbers Tfhen the whistle blows at noon. Suitable "What writs Adam's last name?" "I never heard b had one." "Sa?ms to me he did." "Must hare been Mudd just after he was evicted." A Hurry U? Job. While it will bo soma year3 before we wiil be able to sail tha Panama canal, picking Panama hats from tho bushes nlong the banks, yet the declsion of congress to make it a lock r.ither than a sea level canal may hasten the time so that some of us now living may reap the benefits of ; the labor, j A sea level canal looks the nicest on j paper, but somehow it is hard for us i to take much of an interest in a projj ect that will bo completed in the year 4000 or thereabout. How do we know what kind of a raci will be inhabiting this country by that time? If it is the Chinese they miht thank us for the trouble of digging the ccual, but what would we get out of it? If we started to build a sea level canal airships might have put boats cut of business by the time it was done, and the people might at once proceed to fill it up. so as to make use of the ground for raising garden truck. Thousht It Vas a Sewer. "He had a nice little business, but the octDpus came along and swallowed him up." "I should think ho would have a case against the city.
