OHIO OIL FIELDS

GObbled by the standard PeOple-Ltma
to Be Made Headquarters.
LIMA, O., April 1S.-The Standard Oil
company has gobbled the Ohio oil fields, and
it has done it in a characteristic way When
the Ohio oil began to assume prominence
mysterious reports were circulated that it
was not refinable, and was of very inferior
quality, being capable of giving poor light
at the best.
The Standard forced the prices Of Lima
oil from sixty to fifteen cents per barrel,
which barely covered the cost Of production,
and, of course, the Ohio people were frozen
out Then the Standard came in and bought
the oil wells together with many acres of
land, where wells had not yet been sunk,
and when this was done it was discovered
that the Lima oil was capable of being re-
fined so that it compared favorably with
that from the Pennsylvania wells
The Standard has accumulated 5000 ,0OC
barrels of this oil, and will again open up
the Ohio wells and work them to their full
capacity. The fields acquired by the
Standard include about 1900 acres, worth
many millions of dollars, the price paid by
the company being not much in excess Of
81 ,0OO, 600
The largest refinery in the world is about
to be erected in Lima and pipe line is con.
nected at Cygnet, Wood county, O., with
Beaver, Penn, where it will connect with
the leading refneries in the east. This --latest

formances-they seem to show too much
intelligence to be called tricks-amazed
everybody. Bank bills and coins Of
various denominations were placed on
the floor and the dog was requested to
take his choice. He Immediately picked
up $40 dollar bill, which was the
largest in sight.

asked Mr.! Harris.
Boz selected a nickel and dropped it
into Mr.. Harris hand. Mr.. S. A. Kent
came in while the dog was performing,
and said: "Boz, I want you to bring me
five dollars and half" Boz picked up a
IS bill and fifty cent piece, gave Mr..
Kent an Tm-onto-you expression, and
trotted over to Mr.. Harris with the
money. "Find Mr.. Richardson, was the
next order. Boz trotted up to that gen.

trotted off with it. fI want $15," said
Mr.. Kent. Boz picked up $40 and a
$5 bill. Bring me the rest of it," Boz
barked and growled. His next perform
ance was to bring a hat from the window
