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,

Effect of Their Warm Drink In the

"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

"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,

MOD COMES OUT OF TRIAL
Lord Robert Talks of the Afrioin War ind
of Its Results.
SERVES TO CEMENT BRITISH EMPIRE
Wit r nil III Ilenrcr thut the Trunt
Which the Hesulln of the AVnr
Have Placed In Uniilnnd'a
llnuda Must .fot De Aliused.
CAPETOWN, Deo. 11. 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."
Field Marshal Lord Roberta, with his
wlfo ood daughters, sailed for EnglauU to
day on tho Canadu.

Committee of Afrikander Congress
Told Ita ItcHOlutlono Will He
Transmitted with DUnpiirovol.
CAPETOWN, Dec. 11. Sir Alfred Mllner
today received tho deputation appointed by
the recent Afrikander congress to present
to him for transmission to tho British
government tho three resolutions adopted
by tho congress. In reply to ths deputa
tion's spokesman ho said:
"I shall forward thcso. resolutions to tho
Imperial government with my strong dis
approval. They wero framed by clover
men now engineering tho present agita
tion and encouraging those who are carry
ing on a hopolcss resistance."
Of tho resolutions adopted at Worcostor
tho first demands the termination of the
war, with Its untold misery, protests
against tho devastation of the country and
tho burning of farms, which "will leave
a lasting heritage of bitterness, nnd de
clares that tho Independence of the repub
lics will alono Insure peace In South
Africa."
The second urges the right of the colony
to manage Its own affairs and censures the
policy of Sir Alfred Mllner. Tho third
pledges tho congress to "labor In a con
stitutional way to attain tho onds defined
In tho two preceding seotlons."
DUTCH MAKEJ-INAL REFUSAL

THE HAGUE, Doc. 11. Tho Dutch gov-
irnment today Anally and definitely refused
o tako the Initiative In behalf of arbitra
tes between the Tr .asvaal and Great Brit
ain.
Tho decision of tho government ns com
municated In an interview betwocn Mr.
Kruger nnd Dr. Lcyds on ono side and tho
Dutch foreign minister of finance, N. P.
Plerson, on tho other. Mr. Kruger ex
plained that tho object of his Journey was
to dlssnminato tho Idea of arbitration and
the Dutch minister replied that the rolo of
Tho Netherlands must bo passive. Tho In
itiative belonged to the great powers, they
added. When tho powers had reached a
decision tho Dutch government might see
what It could do.
A serenade of Mr. Kruger by tho scholars

the subject of Mr. Krugor's failure to be
received by Emperor William, but they
complain that he did not Indicate his In
ternal policy, Tho National Zcltung, de
splto Its sympathy for tho Boers, says tho
German peoplo will approvo Count von
Buelow'g outlined Boer policy. The Tago-
llatt says Count von Buelow did not answer
tho question why It was nccoasary to affront
Mr. Kruger, even admitting that Germany
could not help him. Tho Vosslsche Zeltting
says ths chancellor furnlBhed documentary
proof that Germany, with Holland, bad
rcpoatedly warned nnd advised Mr. Kruger,
who had paid no hoed to thorn.

to be duo to tho nbsenco of telegraphic

While tho War offlco Is most reticent on
the subject, thero are Indications that the
ofilcUls have rocelved news suggesting con
siderable British success against Dewet.
