Tarbell's story In MoClures as to how the Standard Oil company forced I. N. Knnpp tif Chanute, Kan., out of ft profitable business with the Omahn atid Kanpas City Oas companies In crude petroleum la considerably different from the statement mode by Vice President Clabangh of the. Omaha Gas company. The obstacle to full and accepted belief In the reported easy victory of Standard OH. In this Instance, lies In the fact that the Omaha Oas cdmpany Is still buying oil from Mr. Knapp, and Mr. Knapp only, so far as It Is aware. A reporter for The Be was shown a bill typewritten on stationery ' of the Knapp Tank I.lne" and dated August 2. 1. It mentioned the price of a car of oil shipped to the Omaha Gns company. How is this bill to be reconciled to Miss Tarbell's statement to the following effect? independence at an expense of $7.50 a car may mean bankruptcy. Whether It did or not. Mr. Knapp felt it was too costly, and In May, ISifl, he turned over his crude oil to the Standard. Hnil henceforth that conrern filled the contracts of the Omaha and Kansas City gas works. Thus the very small breeze of competition which 'was freshening the air of Chanute wns stilled. Mr. Knapp's twenty cars were " sidetracked and In March last, 1906. they still stood Idle at Chanute. Miss TarbrH'a Story. The storr of Knapp as related In the magazine is to the elTect that he went Into the Chanute field In 1899 and found a market for bis oil with the Omaha and Kansas City Gas companies, that until May, 1!X2,. things went well and the rail roads made Mm fair rates, but that they then Increased the weight as reckoned on crude oil per gallon, the result amounting to t'.GO a oar in freight rates. This oc curred a week after Knapp had made con tracts with the Omaha and Kansas City gas 'works, and for eleven months he had to fill his contracts at the disadvantage. This la what Vice President Clabaugh says: ', "The Omaha Gas company has not had any dealings with the Standard Oil com pany for over five years. About that long ago bids were received from dealers for supplying us with crude petroleum. Mr. Knapp submitted the most satisfactory fig ures. Ever since then we have bought all the oil we used from Mr. Knapp, so far as we know. Our dealings with him have been with him personally and there has been no Interruption In his. service. He never complained to us about railroad rates or Intimated that conditions had made his contract with us valueless to him. Are They Bring Buncoed r "So far as I have any knowledge we are still buying our oil from Mr. I. N. Knapp, not I. E. Knapp, as the Tarbell story has it. His present contract expires some time next spring. We use about 3,000,000 gallons crude petroleum a year. If Mr. Knapp turned his contracts over to the Standard OH people we certainly don't know any thlnaabout It." Miss Tarbell says: , "What has the Standard OH company to do with this manipulation? One who knows the hlBtory of the Standard OH company will not ask the question. That is why Its history Is useful today. What happened to Mr. Knapp happened to soores of Pennsylvania refiners and shippers back In the '70s and 'Ms and left hundreds of cars sidetracked as hts were." At the same time it Is shown that part. If not all. of the story as given by the author was taken from court records. Incidentally the Omaha Oas company would like to know If the Standard Oil company is masquerading as I. N. Knapp. LOW RATES FOR HORSE SHOW Special Fares for Exhibition This Fall Are Asked tt Railroads En. . terlas; Omaha. The Omaha Horse Show association is bestirring Itself in the matter of securing suitable rates for the show this fall and is making application to all of the terminal lines In Omaha or special rates. What the association particularly asks Is a one-fare rate for the round trip, covering all points In Nebraska, and from points in Missouri, Kansas and Iowa where the one are la less than W. with the request that the tick ets should be on sale three or four days before the opening and the return limit to expire about October IS. Reason that the association assign for these low rates are that one fare Is granted for the fall festivities of the Ak-Sar-Ben and low rates are prevailing all over the country. At present the rate to Denver is but J10 75, and low rates have been proven to be a great help to railroads In the mat ter of moving business. Certain railroads are known to favor these rates and it is anticipated that all will faU Into line. While the horse show may not draw as many people to the c(ty as the fall festivi ties, there is every reason to expect a larger attendance than at the initial show, when thousands came from out of the city. Promoters of the show say It la an Impor tant event and because of It being part of the Big Four circuit It tends to advertise Omaha throughout the entire country more largely than the carnival, which Is more of a local event. It is further urged as a reason for these rates that the terminal lines should assist the Auditorium on gen eral principles and the eo-operatlon of the railroads is needed to make this event an unqualified success. 11 o GREATEST REMNANT BARGAINS OF THE SEASON Imported Dress Goods. 19c & 35c E,ch Sample Lengths, Four to Eight Pieces to Match Bought from the United States Customs House Thousands of samples of the sheerest silk nnd wool stuffs for waists and dresses, cloths and worsteds, broadcloths, waterproof suitings new fall styles six and eight pieces in bundles seven-eighths yard long, at each ' Shorter lengths of same high grade goods many to match tied, in bundles at a piece Remnants of Silk Ribbons From the Paterson, N.
