There seems to be some fear that the
United States is on the eve of war
with Germany. We think there is no
danger OF war; but there may be game
of diplomacy to play, and old Bismarck
is, perhaps, the most skillful player in
the world at that game. Germany Will
scarcely want war with us, when France
is almost ripe for an uprising against
her, and while the recent elections in
France have been declared by German
radicals to be equivalent to a declara-
tion of war.

OLD OIL WELLS FLOWING
THE VKNANGF COUNTY FIELD IN PENNsYL-
vANIA BEING WORKED AGAIN

FRANKLIN, Pa, March 1.-THE COM
pletion of an oil we'll on the Rynd farm,
on Oil Greek, on Saturday which started
off at rate OF forty barrels per day with
no signs of decreasing, has caused re-
vival of interest in an oil field thought to
have been thoroughly exhausted two de-
cades ago and there is rush for leases
This week a number of new wells will be
in progress of drilling and operations
will be lively in the vicinity of the new
well. In view of the large wells recently
struck in the territory supposed to be e1-
hausted at Pleasantville, Shamhurg, Pit
Hole, Walnut Bend and at points Rock
land and Cranberry township, many are
still OF the belief that Venango county is
good oil field. The Standard Oil CON-
pany seems to consider this the case and
its agents are taking up leases in several
localities and oil operations are again
booming. Many abandoned wells in Oil
Creek and in the Pleasantville district
are having cleaned out and number of
such nave been found to produce from
ten to twenty-five barrels. The song of
the bullwheel and walking beam is again
heard in settlements that were deserted
twenty-five years ago in the belief that
all the Oil had been taken out OF the field.

OUR ELECTRIC LIGHT.

The committee can not agree on the ordi-
nance with the lowest bidder, John Schuette.
The committee maintains that after the
expiration of the years exclusive franchise,
the whole matter would end, that it
could give the street lighting TO any one else,
could build its own plant and have the power
to compel John Schuette to pull up stakes
and make room for another plant, making
his plant worthless.
John Schuette on the other hand has a
different view of the case. He accepts the
years exclusive franchise, the city right to
give another franchise to anybody after S
years, and the city's privilege to buy the
plant ofl7 time after S years, but claims that
if the city should not avail itself of the
option to buy the plant, SO long the contract
for street lamps would continue, but would
consent in order to have the contract for street
lamps terminate somewhere, to make this
continuance for another 5 years, any time
before if the city should buy the plant, and
in no case be disturbed in operating his
plant, or removing it.
Besides this John Schuette feels little
sensitive since another firm has nearly a
a month after the bids were opened, brought
in a proposal making the price still lower
thar his, showing the council at the same time
how many thousand dollars it would save in
accepting his bid
Although the board acted like gentlemen
in this matter, and refused to entertain it as
a bid, still John Schuette had already a
dread of being abused, cursed as monopo-
list if he received the contract, even when
his bid was by far the lowest, and now in
the face ola lower bid than his, and being
confronted with figures showing that if he
should teceive the contract, it would appear
to be at the expense of the public. He says
he would feel that many would think,
''John! if your greediness had not stood in
the way l would not have been compelled
10 pay tribute to you for my light" All of
which is not pleasant contemplation, and
requires younger and stronger person to
stand erect under than he considered himself
to be. ~

HOSPITAL REMEDIES.

What are they? The growth of intelli-
gence in medical matters has given rise
to demand for class Of genuine, reli-
able medicines. The opportunity OF the
ignorant quack, who grew rich curing
everything out of single bottle has
passed. To supply satisfactorily this de-
mand this list of remedies has been
created. They are the favorite pre-
scriptions Of the most famous medical
practitioners of the day, gathered from
the hospitals OF London, Paris, Berlin
aLt- Vienna. Prescriptions which cost
the patients of these specialists from S25
to 500 are here offered, prepared and
ready for use, at the nominal price OF One
Dollar Each. Not one Of them is a cure
all; each one has only the reasonable
power of curing single disease and each
one keeps its contract. Sufferers from
Catarrh, Diseased Lungs, Bronchitis,
Asthma, Consumption. rheumatism, Dys-
pepsia, Liver and Kidney Complaints,
Fever and Ague, Neuralgia, Female
Weakness, Leucorrhoea, or Nervous
Debility, should send stamp for descrip-
tive catalogue to Hospital Remedy Co.,
No. 3031s West King ST., Toronto, Canada.
If your druggist does not keep these
remedies remit price and we will send
direct free of duty.

A BILL has been introduced in the
Michigan legislature to prohibit the sale
of tobacco, cigars and cigarettes to min
ors. Much good it will do. Law can
never produce reform unless it is sus-
tanned by public sentiment. And yet
something should be done to save boys
from the tobacco habit. It is by no means
a rare sight to see boys of II years in
this city smoking cigars. They do it de-
family and as if they had the approval of
parents. If law could be enacted pun
ishing parents for permitting their child
rem to use tobacco some good might re-
suit.
