Colonel Stewart is fighting to
continue bossing S. O. of In

Kloekholders that they arc to
receive a 00 per cent dividend j
without money and without
price, also without income tax,
pi,; higher dividends.
Four million five hundred
thousand shares of perfectly
good Standard Oil of Indiana
stock, worth at present market
prices $44,000,000. That's a
Rood deal to'give away at a di
rectors' meeting.
: This liberality is expected to
help Colonel Stawart's hunt
for proxies. Mr. Rockefeller
may tell stockholders it is easy
enough to hand out stock, less
easy to nav dividends on it, es-

The Ashland lintel was built in

a search revealed nothing.
Tho fire was under control at
11:4ft o'clock. Four Inches of

time.-
The blaze was the most Serious
in Ashland, in many years.

as thu Austin Hotel and was locat
