While roaming through the oil country our

stand amazed and almost doubt the truth of
the Petroleum Centre which we saw ten years
ago. AT that time, as the name implies, it
was the centre of the land of grease. Sur

country. 1t could not be otherwise. Vast num-
bers OF houses, stores, machine. shops, etc,
was city Of 5000 or 1000 inhabitants. Every.
body in oildom knew the Petroleum Centre.
The city had banks, immense hotels, large
business houses, and could boast of three or
the place was city. At night it was almost
impossible to get through the crowd of
people collected for all kinds Of pleasure.

it except the destruction of war. Instead
of fine residences. the ground Is now

churches yet stand but nobody remains to
attend them, Perhaps there are 100 inhabit-

this was one Ct the best oil territories in the
country at that time, On the northern part
of this farm was @ Small town Of the name OF
Dublin. It had 200 inhabitants, and was the
terminus of the Benninghoff Run Railroad.
Not a single house remains In fact, one would
think, not knowing any better, that it had
never been cleared. Many towns like this
have gone the same wav.. But perhaps the

Mr.. Duncan was in Pithole the church existed
in nourishing condition. But it had disap-

of the cases date from August and others as far

DIR. Choppin's circular to the doctors In this

effect of causing them to respond quickly. and
taking the great number of cases made known
since the fourth instant, it Is fair to presume
that we have had at least 20 ooo, persons sick in
