STANDARD OIL COMPANY WINS Ohio Supreme Court Holds Aitnlnat Former 'Attorney (ienernl Mon nrtt'a Alleicntliins of Contempt. COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 11. The supromo court today dismissed tho proceedings brought by former Attorney General Mon aett, charging that the Standard Oil com pany was In contempt of court for having failed to comply with the an order Issued In 1S92 demanding a dissolution of tho Standard Oil trust. Six members of tho court divided, Chief Justlco Shauck and Justices Borkett and Davis favoring dis missal of tho Information In contempt and Justices Mlnshnll, Spear and Williams dis senting. Under a rulo of tho court tho failure of a majority to sustain tho In fottnntlon In contempt Is In effect a dls mJrEnl of tho proceedings. Tho litigation against the Standard Oil company, which Is thus closed, dates back to May 8, 1890, when Attorney General. D. K. Watson brought suit In tho supremo court to havo the Standard Oil trust dis solved. Iu March, 1892, the allegations In the petition wero sustained nnd tho com pany was "ousted." On Mnrch 21 following a meeting of stockholders was called and liquidating board, consisting of John D. Ilockefellcr, H. M. Flagler nnd others was appointed to wind up the affnlrs of the company. Tho company then sot up the claim that It was Impossible to close up tho business of so great n concern in tho tlmo allotted. Tho Judges of the supreme court declined to take any action extending tho tlmo In which tho company's affairs might be wound up, but Informally addressed a let ter to the attorney of tho company, which stated In effect that as long as tho Standard Oil company continued Its efforts to com ply with the decree of the court and to wind up Its affairs In Ohio the court would not bo disposed to Interfere. On Novombcr 9, 1897, F. 8. Monnott, then nttorncy gen eral, filed an Information In tho supreme court alleging that the Standard Oil com pany had not compiled with tho decree of the court and nulling that Its officers bo cited for contempt. Tho testimony In this proceeding was taken by Allen Ilrlnimade of Cleveland, ns master commissioner, nnd was submitted to the court some months so. Mr. Monnett, whon asked his opinion of the decl8on, said that while he felt that tho evidence sustained the chargo of con tempt, bo bowed to tho decree of the court, Ofllelnl Vote of North Ilnkotu.

"A year ago I was a wreck from coffee drinking and was on tho point of giving up my pocltlon In tho school room because of my cxcriitlve nervousness. "I was telling a frlond about it and she snld, 'wo drink nothing at meal time but Postum Food Coffee, and It Is such a com fort to havo something we can enjoy drink ing with the children.' "I was astonished that she would allow the children to drink any kind of coffoo, but she sold Postum was the most health ful drink In tho world for children as well as for older ones, und that tho condition of both the children nnd adults showed that to be a fact. "Just a little thought convinced me that ono should not tako a stimulant such as coffee, but really should have tho best food to nourish tho brain and nervos, and that nourishment was found In Postum. "My first trial was a failure. Tho cook boiled It four or flvo minutes and It tasted so flat that I was In despair, but determined to glvo It ono more trial, This tlmo we followed the directions and boiled It fifteen minutes after tho boiling began. It was a decided biiccess und I was completely won by Its rich, delicious flavor. In a short time I noticed a decided Improvement In my condition and kept growing better and bet ter month after month, until now I am per fectly healthy, and do my work In tho Bchool room with caso and pleasure. I would not return to tho nervo-destroying regular coffee for any money." F, Scott, Wurrensburg, Mow MOD COMES OUT OF TRIAL Lord Robert Talks of the Afrioin War ind of Its Results.

At tho reception In honor of Lord Roberts yesterday, when tho British commander rose to respond after tho presentation to him of tho sword and casket, all present rose to their feet, cheering and waving handkerchiefs. The demonstration continued fnr some minutes. At its conclusion Lord Roberts made an eloquent address. After expressing deep thanks for the honors accorded him ho said tho war In South Africa had a pc cullar Interest for htm, Inasmuch as it enabled him to bring to what ho hoped wns a successful conclusion the work en trusted to him twenty years no that of dispelling, by force of arms, If necessary, tho nsplratlons of tho Boers to render thomselves Independent of British control. Referring to his abortive visit to tho Cape In 1SS1, ho said: "Tho wisdom of this world Is footlshcsn with God. Tho guiding hand of tho Omnipotent will bring good out of what to our in finite understanding was tho most unforlunato war of 1681, for that war would havo consolidated tho whole British empire as firmly as this has done bocauso It was fought by regulars alone, whorens tho present war was fought by tho militia, yeomanry and volunteers, tho ad mirable and workmanlike colonial con tlngeuts all fighting as brothers In arms under tho dear old flag of the quoon." in this respect Lord Roberts said he held tho unique position of tho first field marshal having tho honor to command such .in Imperial outburst. Ho was con vinced, ho dcclnrcd, that this spontaneous outburst of patriotism was not ephemeral. England had only to glvo the signal and Its sons would again flock to its banner from tho ends of tho world. Never had a mother moro reason to bo proud of her sons than had England today. God had brought them out of what In tho dark days of De cember bad nppcarcd to them tho valley of tho shadow of death, and thoy could now remember tho days of tribulation with deep gratitude for tho mercy vouchsafed tbem. Lord Roberts than paid a deeply moving trlbuto of gratitude to all who had worked with him. He added that his Interest In South Africa would not ccaso on leaving Its shores, but that ho should watch Its settle ment with tho utmost eagerness. Dwell ing upon tho necessity of co-operation be tween tho Dutch and English, ho said it would bo his proudest boast 11 ho could clnlm to havo dono nothing but what Btross of war had corapollcd to hinder tho friendly fusion of tho two races of tho republlcB. They must try to forgtvo and forget all that tends to bitterness of feollng, leaving tho Idea that nothing remained to bo atoned for on cither side. "God has glcn Into our bands," said the field marshal, "n great heritage, for which a heavy prlco has been paid In the blood of the best and bravest, and wo must not bo neglectful of tho trust as wo havo been In tho past, but must bo able to give a good account of our stewardship and must remember thero aro other duties than na tional glorifications."
