The eeutleman who delivered the temper.

The gentleman who delivered the temper
snce lecture, Saturday night last, in Steple's
School House. near Miller Eddy, folded his
tent and left completely disguised with the
success of his effort. We did not learn his
name, but have strong convictions that IL
wasn't Cough. The audience was not large
but there was 20 discount ou Its enthusiasm.
The worst possible sort of Interruptions and
unkind and cruel criticism on his style, did
not seem to disco om'ort the speaker, and he
hung to the tbresd of his discourse until b"
had said his piece to the end Then the b. !
was passed around, and the liberaiity and
lsvishness OF that audience was sometb ing
wonderful; when the pile was accumulated
and counted, it footed up twenty cents ex-
sctly. Too much for Qua drink Of Parker

That FIVE De.1AR PER BARRED Con-

THAT FIVE DOLLAR PER BARRaL Con-
TRACT. by order Of the Executive Com
mittpe of The Petroleum Producers Union,
meetings will BE- held 10 each Of tho terri
torial districts which they represent, for the
purpose of mixing vote on the proposition
rscently submitted to purchase the entire
production for five dollars per barrel The
frst meeting wac held In the Ninth Dis
trict last Saturday afternoon, when the SOL
lowing resolution was adopted BY vote Of
25 Q: u
Resolved, That tN feeling OF the produc-
ers Of that district are In favor OF selling all
their production at the rate Of five dollars
per barrel, provided that no conditions are
attached to the sale which shall bs disas-
trous to the interests OF the oil producing
interest In general. ...
The meetings in the other districts will
be held within few days, and the result
will probably be as favorable to accepting
the proposition.
The question arises. who made this prop.
osition! We are cfediby informed that the
individual making II claimed 10 represent
the majority of the refining interests in the
country. He was questioned for three
hours by the Executive Committee, but
failed to give the name Of any Of these re-
sponsibls parties on whose behalf be offered
to pledge $40, 900, 600 as secnrity for the
fulfiliment Of this very liberal contract.
There are very few producers who would be
unwilling to indorss the above resolution.
There Is however, M evidence that the
lpo o,ition enacted i.lfrom r. liable source,
or that It was made 10 good faith. On the
utrsry, the general impression appsars to
prevail that 1t Is "bogus. ."-( Herald.
We have said nothing in regard 10 the
five dollar proposition. believing il better
for the producers 10 decide the matter
for themselves. At The same time We have
our doubts ~ to the genuineuess Of the
proposition, believing as the Herald does.
that It is bogus. Al least If not bogus, com.
ing from the very men who but few weeks
ago were eeeking to rob aud gain control o.
this region, It may be looked upon with Q
good deal OF suspicion, and WI trust our opt
orators, In acting upon the subject, at the
meeting, this evening, will ventilate It as
far as possible before taking any steps that
may compromise their honor or integrity,
or undo the work already done. We desire
to influence no one in the matter, but ct
the same time have no faith 10 tho latest
dodge Of the members Of lhs dsfinct South
