A Trick About an Oil Well.

A few days before the Murphy well
commenced to put forth grease, the rig
and engine-house at the Murphy well
were burned to the ground. None but
interested parties were at the well at the
time, and reports were sent out by them
that the fire originated in an explosion
of gas. says an Oil City Correspondent
to the Philadelphia Press. The story
was generally credited at the time, but
a story has since been circulated to the
following effect: Drilling at the Murphy
well proceeded rapidly. and before the
owner was prepared for it his drill had
touched 1.-THE jugular vein,' as the oil
men call it, and the fact was speedily
made known from below. Oil flowed
suddenly and freely, and the derrick,
engine-house, and the adjoining bushes
were well sprinkled with the greasy
fluid. 1t was not according to Capt.
Murphy's idea that the outer world
should as yet be made aware that he
had big we'll. The oil men would soon
be flocking to the vicinity, and if traces
of the oil (and traces were large and
pronounced) were seen about the rig
and grounds the four winds of heaven,
leaving the Western Union Telegraph
and reporters out of the question, would
soon spread the tidings to the four quar-
ters of the earth.
To avoid this, orders were issued to
set fire to the scattered oil, and ere long
the derrick. engine-house. and all traces
of the oil which had been scattered
about were licked up by the flames.
Then the story of the gas explosion was
circulated.
1t seems to be generally conceded
fact among oil men that when there is
much gas there is little oil, and so as
the story circulated and was spread by
the newspapers, the general verdict was
rendered, "The Murphy well isn't good
for anything" But Capt. Murphy knew
better, and as the price of oil stiffened a
little he sold short, and when GAG, and
later Murphy, broke the market, he
covered the shorts and reaped rich
harvest.

Swindling Farmers.

The reports of farmers being swim
died by travelling sharpers are less nu-
merous than they were few years ago.
Farmers are not as anxious as they were
of becoming agents for the sale of use
less implements, or to purchase patent
rights. They are more careful about
signing orders for lightning-rods and
advancing money for goods to be de-
livered in the future. In brief, they are
becoming more intelligent in all business
matters. Cases of swindling are occa-
sionally reported, hut when they are it
is evident that the sharpers have been
obliged to resort to some new dodge in
order to insure success. A new swindle,
according to local reports, has been per-
petrated in several places in Iowa, DUR
persons to manage it successfully. They
watch the papers for notices of estrays.
One goes to look at horse or cow, and
soon decides that it is not the one he
has lost. During his visit he carefully
notices the size, color, and peculiar
marks on the animal. and forms pref
ty accurate opinion in regard TO its
weight and age. He reports all these
matters to his partner" who, in few
days, pays visit to the farm where the
animal was taken up. He is able to
give so full and accurate a description
of the ''lost" animal that the person in
whose possession it is has no reluctance
in offering to give it up. The pretend.
ed owner, however. finds it inconvenient
to take it home. and offers to sell It at a
low price. The farmer accepts the
proposition to sell, and pays over the
money. In the course of few days the
rightful owner comes along and claims
the animal, and produces evidence that
it is his. The residence of the seller
cannot be ascertained, and, of course,
the buyer is out the money he has paid.

a.: THIS LEGACY
Il for nv dutifuI and beloved nephew, :
Arthur Peasc. JOSHUA PEAsE.

For moment Arthur was stunned,
rs il he had received violent blow on
his skull which had paralyzed his brain.
Then the room seemed to be turning
round. What did the lawyer mean by
telling him that his uncle had left him
a large sum of money in his willp All!
that was doubtless q part OF the plot, in
order that his disappointment might be
the more complete!
1t was evident enough that the eccen-
trio and whimsical old gentleman had
taken this method to punish his nephew
for depriving him of a leg. This old
timber leg in the box was the long-ex-
pected legacy! :.
For some minutes Arthur felt himself
crushed to the very earth. How his
friends, who had envied his good for:
tune, would triumph now. He almost
imagined that he already heard the ser
pent-hiss of his enemies.
At length he began to recover from
his despair. Augusta had certainly
seemed to love him; her father had
money enough for them both, and 80
tenderly had the young lady hidden
him adieu that the thought struck him
that his very misfortune and disaPpoint-
ment might increase her love for him by
exciting her pity.
81 will not despair" cried he, 'fol
this event may hasten instead Of deter;

A Sorrowful Confession.
Sherman Tex Democrat.

y
The truth is, and it is undeniable,
there is no Democratic party. 1t is
divided upon questions of living and
vital Importance to the country.
To preserve the unity of the party,
or rather to hold it's discordant ele
ments together, it's leaders must
agree to disagree about the tariff,
about the currency, about the ma
tionsl banks, about the railroads
and inter State commerce, and must
settle down to work, with the I'M
derstanding that the party is merely
a machine and not party of prln-
ciple that, being a machine. it has
no business to NEEDLE with great
questions of public policy, questions
of real and deep concern to the
people, but that the supreme and
only reason for its existence is to
promote the personal aims and ends
of its individual leaders and man
ayers. From this body of death we
propose to cut the Democrat loose.
While we shall not fail to advocate
the true principles of Democratic
government, believing that true De>
mocracy is the government of the
people, we will not be bound by ring,
clique, caucus or convention to sup
port men or measures contrary to
our own individual convictions of
right and wrong.

Resuscitating the Dead,

Now that the season for excur-
sions by water, boating parties and
bathing is near at hand, it may be
well to republish some simple rules
for the resuscitation of drowned per-
sons. The method practiced by
many physicians consists of a great
deal of rubbing, the use of plenty OF
warm clothes, slightly rolling the
body while supporting the head a
trife higher than the body, and an
external application of the hands in
way that will produce an artificial
respiration.
The people of Portugal practice
another method, which is said to be
very effective. At Oporto when per-
sons are recovered from the water
they are Immediately stripped and
rubbed all over with salt, but more
particularly about the breast, tenn
pies and joints. A sailor recently
fell overheard in the river Douro
and was under water half an hour
When recovered his body was sub
jected to the Portugal treatment,
and in less than four hours he was
up and walking. Dogs and cats
were placed under water for two
hours. and then were covered ovel
with salt, the nostrils only being free
from the saline bath. Presently
they began to breath and discharge
the water from their mouth and nos
trils. The struggling soon grew
stronger, and III three or four hours
they all got up and ran away.
