Since the mud has been scraped off of
Second street, there has been good sized
pond of water standing in the street in low
place in front of the postoffice. Some one
has created considerable amusement for the
public by putting up a conspicuous sign in
the center of the pond, bearing the inscrip-
tion on one side, 'Pease don't fish in this
pond, - on the other side, t:No bathing al

Who is USING THE RoAD.-A question
that will be of considerable Importance to
the property owners along the county road
leading to the Odd Fellows cemetery, has
been brought to the attention of tie County
Judge by some of the residents living in
that vicinity, and is liable to cause some
trouble and annoyance to these who have
recently purchased property adjacent to the
road mentioned. Away back in the early
days the road turned off to the north at
point where Nick Beason's slaughter house
is now located, and ran in a straight line to
the Catholic cemetery. In 1857 on a pct..
tion signed by A F. Horning, Joseph
Fridley and others the County Court or.
dered that the road be changed to its pres.
ent location, and that sixty foot road be
built along the dividing line of A. M. With.
ANS property and the property then owned
by Joseph Fridley, commencing at the
Catholic cemetery, each to give q thirty
foot strip of land tho entire distance. The
road was duly..surveyed and dedicated as q
public highway sixty feet in width. Ac-
cording to the order of the court Mr.. With.
am moved his line fence west thirty feet,
but for some reason Mr.. Fridley failed to
move his line fence and up to the present
time the public has only had the use Of
thirty feet of the road. There is great
deal of travel over this road, and as the
county owns sixty feet, it is only matter
of short time when those owning the prop
erty abutting the east side of the road
and are now using the land will be
asked to surrender the other thirty feet for
public use. AS Mr.. Friiley is now dead,
and his property transferred several times
over, this is not likely to be done without
some dispute and dissatisfaction.

A BROKER HAD NO TROUBLE MARK
ING IT DOWN FRIDAY.

The Standards Move Took Everybody by

Quickly More Than Made Up-The Clos

NEW YORK, Aug. s.-Perhaps the most
striking manipulation that has ever oc-
Cured in the oil market since speculation
in crude oil has existed was seen in the Con-
solidated Exchange yesterday and to-day.
for the Standard Oil Company, engineered a
decline in the price of September
options for National Pipe Line certifi-
Gates. The option is practically the one
now dealt in on the Exchange. AS the oil
market has been dead for a long while, and
the brokers formerly active in it have
abandoned it for fields in which there was
less arbitrary control of the price, the
broker referred to had no trouble in mark
ing the price down until it touched 51%c.
The total sales recorded on the decline was
only 196, 900 barrels, which would cost less
than 100000 to pay for it in full.
It was afterward learned that the Stand
ard Oil Company had removed its premium
of 10 cents per barrel for fresh oil. This
premium has been paid for some time in the
has been in fresh OIL While it has been
buying fresh oil, the National Pipe Line
certificates have been ignored, and the state
ment was made that the oil in the pipe
lines had lost so much of its value
that it could only be worked at the
discount named as compared with fresh
oil. The announcement that this premium
had been removed, and that hereafter the
Standard would pay the same price for
pipe line certificates that it paid for fresh
oil in the field took everyone by surprise.
1t was, of course, expected that the differ
ence between the price of fresh oil and the
price of pipe line certificates would be at
once made up, and this expectation was
more than realized.
The opening sales this morning were made
at an advance of ~ cents. From then until
the close the price was steadily bid up, until
it reached 7OH, closing at that figure
While the bids were shouted out by the
agents of the manipulators crowd of fire.

creasing interest. The opening Monday is
