OH Again Goes Up.

LIMA, O., March TO- The price OF Lima
oil was advanced agsin tbi' morning by
the Buckeye Pipe Line Company. The
advance this time WAS ons cent. This
makes the present price 81 cents per barrel
at the wells. 1t is the opinion here that
the Standard will steadily advance the
price until it reaches so cents per barrel, ,
while there will be movement to
depress eastern production until it
reaches 75 cents per barrel, which
with tie premium tf % cents row psid
on the eastern stuff will make ii worth 81
DER barrel to the producer. When the pro-
cess of equalization is completed Lima will
be made certificate oil. 1t is known here
that the Standard ia making preparations
10 do an immense amount CT drilling and
lorg before the x pifaiiOn Of another year,
the Ohio field will be furnishing the crude
product with which will be made the
LIGHT for the world.

STANFORD on MONEY.

Hi, speech before the senate, Yea: eEdAy,
on the An-ImpOrtant Commodity.
WASHINGTON, March 1O.-SenAtOr Le-
LAID Stamford, today, on the money ques-
tion, spoke in brief as follows:
From the earliest civilization there has
existed in ell countries a need of some
commodity that will stand az represent
ative Of values which can be made without
the commodities themselves being passed
from hand TO hand. In process Of time, gold
and silver came into use for this purpose
Of equalizing exchange, and to-day, when
stamped by responsible governments, these
metals have a value rs money far beyond
any possible value they might have were
they only used in the arts. But it is OBJ
vious that their value as legal tender de-
pends AZ much on the government stamp,
IS dOe3 the paper which is stamped by
the government and made legal tender.
Money bscomss valuable, as it stimulates
industry aud facilitates the ex-
changes OF the products of mans
labor. Property itsslf is valuabls a.
cording TO the uses to which il is
applied Thus, supposing q mans wsges
were q dollar a day, 500 would employ
100 men one day, bat could the product OF
the labor Of those 100 men be Immediately
utilized, the 500 might give employment
to 100 men every work day 10 the year.
The Govern rment bond is valuable to the
holder on account of the interest il earns
As sn energetic factor ia the transactions
Of men, il only amounts TO the p,rcentsge
which it draws, but when the
bondholder by depositirg 1t
with the Government receives
back 90 per cent. in government bills. 30
Uer cent Of its value becomes energized into
an active commodity, giving employment
10 the energies of the country. As money
employs labor il bring to life continuing
folcs. labor bsgetting labor as certainly as
its fruits are valuable. Another way by
which We can appreciate what money &C
lively used may perform IN the settlement
Of balences, IS to be found IN the vslue OF
con- moditiss produced and exchanged COM
parsd with the amount of money in circu-
lalion.
An abundance Of money means univer-
sal activity, bringing in its train sill the
blessings that bele1g 20 constantly EN-
ployed industrious, intelligent people. II
these proposed loans could be made by the
Government without risk, l don't think
that there would be any serious obstacle
in the way OF the accomplishment of
the objection Of the resolution. In my
opinion ample protection would be afforded
the Government if it limited its loan to
One-half or ons-quarter the assessed value
Of tie property given as security, and up
on the sppraisment Of Government officers
especially selected for that duty. 1t seems
to me that the great thought of humanity
should be how to advantage the great null
titnde of toilers

Through Sewer.
PEKIN, Ills, March .10.-The body ol
a man was found lodged against a snag in
the Illinois river, Saturday, by parties
passing in skiff.
The remains were brought to this city
yesterday, and at the inquest it was
learned that they were those OF Bernhard
JuDghaus, German horse buyer Of Peoria
and man of considerable means.
There was an ugly wound back OF the
right ear. A gold watch and chain and a
gold ring, which the man always wore,
were missing, and no money was found
upon the body, although it was Learned
fiom letters in the dead mans pocket that
he intended to start for Germany to-day.
The man was undoubtedly murdered and
robbed and his body thrown into the
river. The Coroner's jury returned YER
dict TO that effect.
Four policemen surrounded q den kept
by Link Hummel and Bill Luckey, last
night, and endeav0red to arrest them for
the murder of Junghsus. AS the police
men burst in the doors the two ruffiana
dropped through hidden trap door and
escaped to the river by means of sewer.
Two women living with them ware arrest
ed, and the murdered mans watch, chain
and ring fouud on them. JuDghaus was
enticed into the den on Friday, his head
split open and his body conveyed to the
river by means of the trap and sewer. He
had drawn 81, 900 from the bank on Thurs
day, and intended leaving for New York
Friday. He was 58 years Of age and re-
puted to be quite wealthy.
Ali the police have orders to shoot eth
er Hummel or Lucksy on sight, as they
are desperate characters and have commit
ted many crimes. 1t is thought they will
try to reach Chicsgo or Kansas City.

He nov states that he was lef. for dead

himself on the Atlantic coast, without

He shipped on board merchantman for

has followed the sea ever since. He has
acquired competence aud decided TO
settle down ia his old home.
