ROMANCE ENDS IN ORIENT

MAUDE MILLER WILL BECOME MRS. TAYLOR
Omaha Girl Govs to Dlataat Laad of
Har Lover's llftolim f
Marrr Brtvt
Coloael.
tl Mauds Miller left Omhi Friday for
tha Phlllppln islands to txH-ome th wlf
of Colonel Wallacs Taylor, son of Cadet
Taylor of this city.
This notice comes as a surprise to many
Of "Buck'' Taylor's Omaha friends who
bava been reading- of his recent Injuries
In a battle with the Jolos. Colonel Taylor
however. Is out of the hospital after a
alege of forty-seven days from the bullet
that carried away part of his Jaw.
There is quite a romance in the story of
Miss Miller's long Journey. They were
schoolmates at the Omaha High school and
none can remember ever seeing them to
gether. When Taylor was In Omaha dur
ing the winter h happened to ask a mutual
friend, while the two were talking over
old times and friends, "what has become
Of Maude Miller?-' He was told she and
aer auter L4 niuveU to Chicago where
they were at work. The next day Taylor
went to Chicago and looked up Maude
Miller, with the result that when he re
turned to Omaha he Informed his friends
that they were to be married. They ex
pected to be married before Colonel Tay
lor's return to the orient, but Miss Miller
could not arrange matters so suddenly for
such a long Journey from home, so It
was planned that she was to follow later.
Then it was .hat the wires brought the
news of Taylor's Injury and none watched
for bulletins from the front more eagerly
than did Maude Miller.
She is now hastening to the front to
help ber hero lover during his convales
cent period and they will be married as
soon as she arrives.
Many of her friends were at the station
Friday to bid Viaa Miller farewell as she
started on he. long Journey.

John D. War, attorney, has sent to the
Board of County Commissioners a com
munication In the form of a protest against
the payment by the county of the bills
of the Omaha Electric Light and Power
company for the year ending Juue ). ix.
Mr. Wares protest starts off with the
words, "On behalf of the people of Douglas
county," and goes on to discuss kilometers
and watts In some detail.
The gist of the protest Is that the com
pany has furnished Douglas county during
the time mentioned with (,6l,ooi) watts of
electricity, for which It is atttmptlng to
charge the sum of 14 .138 . Mr. Ware's
communication asxerts that the company
Is entitled to charge only J2.7M.W. and he
desires to go on record as protesting
against the alleged overcharge of fl.tm.U.

STANDARD AFTER MUTUAL
Bockefeller Cuti Price) of Oil in Omaha
Against Competitor.
CHANGE IN LATTER'S MANAGEMENT
Standard, However, Says Difference
la Price Is Une to Variety
la the Grade of
Product.
John D. Rockefeller may b pretty busy
these days reading magazine articles ant
endowing colleges, but not so busy but
that he can And time to look after a few
remaining dimes over the country that
have, somehow or other, escaped his cof
fers. To this end he U exercising his ten
tacles in Omaha.
The fact is the Standard Oil company
has lowered the wholesale price of Illumi
nating oil In Omaha to i cents, for the
alleged purpose of putting the Mutual Oil
Tank Line company out of business. The
Mutual oil la selling for 13 ctnts.
The retirement of It. C. Courtney of
Courtney Co.. grocers. Twenty-fifth and
Davenport streets, from the Mutual Oil
company, of which he was one of, if not
the heaviest holders, sod the retirement
of E. L. Line as manager of that com
pany, th la liar feeing succeeded by J. T.
Zlsner, and Mr.. Line's employment by the
Standard, are regarded as significant
events In the alleged fisht of the Standard
to put Its local competitor out of buslneB.
Mr. Coinrtney'e Statement.
Yes, It Is true, I have disposed of my
holdings In the Mutual," said Mr. Court
ney, "but 1 have no desire to Injure that
concern. I cannot confirm the report that
the Standard is trying to put the Mutual
out of the field, nor that the Standard Is
underselling the Mutual. The fact Is the
Standard, so they claim, Is selling oil from
Ohio and Kansas for 8 rents, while the
Mutual Js selling Pennsylvania, the best
oil on earth, for 13 cents. So there Is the
difference. The Mutual claims it is selling
the better grade of oil and therefore la
getting a butter price. The Standard's
Pennsylvania oil Is not sent out west,
but east."
Retailers, however, are said to be get
ting the same price fur both kinds of oil
15 cents.
One of the funny little things In this oil
situation Is that In the last three days
the Standard has lowered Its wholesale
price 1 cent a day, and those who adhere
to the theory that the Standard is after
the scalp of a competitor find It rather
difficult to reconcile this fact with the
statement that the Standard is selling fur
I cents simply because it Is selling an In
ferior grade of oil.
Why Jest rind It Oat.
"Why didn't It find out that faot long
ago and not hold up Its price?" asks one
inquisitive on. "Has it Jusl now dasraed
on the Standard that Its western oil is
inferior to that of the Mutual and that
therefore It la sinful and wicked to ask
more for It than tha Mutual is asking for
Its belter grade? Isn't 'that a good Joke?"
"No. we ar still In business." said Mr.
Zisner, manager of ths . Mutual. "This Is
nothing new; that s the method of the
Standard, but our interests are of large
proportions and It will be some time before
we go out of business. It Is true we are
selling better oil here than the Stnadard,
but I guess It's not altogether false that
the Standard Is lowering I's price. Mr.
Line left the position of mansger of the
Mutu-tl only to be Immediately picked up
by the Standard. That is another one of
Its methods. I don't know how long Mr.
Line will remain with ths Standard."
The Mutual people ssy they will not re
duce their price tnd will hs able to with
stand the oriMlaughts of their powerful com
petitor, ll'iw long the sliding scale will
continue no one seems willing to predict.
To what extent over th west this fight
