A MIDNIGHT VISITOR.
Every Mother Should Be Prepared TO
Battle with Croup-The Best Remedy.

Battle with Cr0up-Ihe kScsI IteHieuy.
(FFons the Providence, r. l., Ietsgram.)
What word carries more terror to a
mother than Group, that insidious visitor
who steals upon her children at night when
drug stores are closed and physicians not
within reach. Group does its deadly work
quick, and if not met at the outset with
stringent methods is almost sure to prove
conoueror. Every mother should keep q
remedy where she can reach it at the first
ominous bark It has been truly said that
q bottle of Perry Davis Pain-Killer on the
medicine shelf insures greater safety from
such ills than would doctor in your house,
Pain-Killer was the chief remedy Of our
grandfathers and with all the advances efsci-
ence nothing has been found to take its place.
For Group it is without an equal. An
instance of this was yesterday cited to
reporter by Mrs. J. B. G. Hoskins, of No.
80 Marion Street, the wife of one Of the
sturdy wheelwrights of Providence, R. l.
Nobody knows the anxiety, the torture

HARD TIMES FOR CAPE ELIJAH ETH
Extraordinary Low Prices for Cabages
and High Rates of Taxatlon makes 1t
Hard for Farmers.

The Cape Elizabeth farmers are now haul
ing their cabbages to the freight station,
but it is rather discouraging job, since
they receive only SIS ton for them, and
that doesn't pay for the cost of raising on
the inland farms, where dressing has TO be
hauled. 1t cost nearly $40 to raise ton OF
cabbaees on those farms. On the shore
farms. where. sea weed can be.used for dress
inn. il costs about SIS ton. Last year at
this time the farmers We're receiving SIS a
ton. which was, of course. good profit. Ten
or fifteen years ago they were Just as sure
of getting $25 or $50 ton for cabbage as
thoy were of planting them, but then there
was not so many cabbages raised in the
country. If farmer on the Cape raised
thirty TONS of cabbaees. fifteen years ago,
he was one of the leaders, but now if man
does NOT raise 100 tons, he is not much of 4
farmer.
This year the market is glutted. partly
due TO the had times. which has lessened
the demand, but more due to the fact that
thew are now raising great many cabbages
out West, which is the great market for our
eastern cabbages.
There seems to be no prospect that the
price will get any better, and it looks as If
money would be lost on cabbages by the
Cape farmers this year.
In addition TO this the extraordinary high
rate of taxation. $40 on $1,000, makes their
lot very hard one.

spring in order to lay the iron pipe under
the river TO connect the main the new pipe
just laid.
But recently, because of break in the
dam at Stevens mill, the water has become

to lay the pipe at the present time. A

The Smith Mystery Has Been

Special to the Register.

Special to the Register.
Sistersville, w. Va, April 23.-The
| Henry Oil Co. is attempting to make a
mystery of the Dye well, on the Ohio
/ side, about one and a half miles ahead
of the present developments. Leasing
has been going on strong in that part
Of the territory, and there is a wild
scramble for every acre in sight The
| gamble" is a good one and cheap in
that part of the field.
The Smith mystery, when Col. Car
ter opened it up, gave stuff, held a
very black eye. The Kanawha people
gave it out that the Smith was good for
one hundred barrels, and one morning
it was discovered that the well was
filled up with all sorts of debris. Then
came the sale of the property to the
Ohio Oil Co., now managed by Col.
Carter. He soon cleaned away the
mystery and started the we'll pumping.
For the past two weeks she has been
doing 81 barrels every "a hours.
Then came the Dye we'll mystery, In
the oil man 5 vernacular, she is board
ed up tight" and no one can get with
in fifty feet of the derrick. However,
the Register correspondent got actual
gauges for the first two days that she
was pumped. The first day she did y
inches in a 250-barrel tank. This
means As barrels The second day she
produced 80 barrels with pumps slowed
down. The latter figure represents
pretty nearly what she will do. 1t
has been pretty we'll established that
IL, L. Of
vile pool, and leasers out there feel
that they are on Easy street.
OF the operations in the rest OF the
field. the Register readers have been
kept fully up to date. Middle Island,
with Holmes No. l keeping up her $50
barrel gait. and the Mckay wonder
near by, from $50 to 800 barrels, is at
tracing more attention than ever. Or
course, the wells were struck in the
much abused "Keener" sand that a
year ago was looked upon as not far
removed from a dry hole. But Keener
has fooled em all and they continue
after it. as operations on the creek
will be extensive this summer.
Indian Greek, too, is looking up and
the Victor Oil Company has two der
ricks in position in McElrOy district.
The Hardman we'll in Doddridge, just
across the Tyler county line is now pro-
ducing 300 barrels a day and every
thing is under lease for ten miles
around.
The Centreville part of the field is
not making much of a showing. The
Carter test we'll is not much OF pro-
ducer but Col Carter says no finer
sand exists. He has about 5000 acres
under lease and he has great faith in
Centreville and will go right on with
developments.
In rounding up" this field not much
need be said of the Sistersville por-
ton of the territory. The old wells
are showing a production of an aver
age of Il. 900 a day. However, the Car
ter Oil Company to-day finished up
their last we'll on the Eph Wells prop
erty and she is good for 20 barrels
every twenty-four hours.

The present advance fin wages IN the
manufacturing establishments of the
country is not confined to any one sec
ton. but is general AS a manutac-
turer quoted by the Boston Herald re-
marked. lit is in the air New evil
dence of it is furnished every day, and
# is an indication OF return to
solid basis Of wages. O healthy state OF
affairs. auguring the return OF pros
perity. A rise in wages is the greatest
stimulus to business. a fact to which
business men engaged in manufactur-
ing are not blind. 1t is poiuJedout that
there was no present need, in the scar
city Of labor. that manufacturers
sbould increase wages. They have
done. and are doing il. as a measure Of
business sagacity. knowing that they
can afford it and that they will find 1t
to their interest One of them is
quoted as saying. Higher wages i'm
plies more money to- spend. More
money TO spend means more sales OF
merchandise and of other materials to
be bought and this circulates more
money. Here is created a greater
market for our goods
The present rise in wages is the
most complete vindication Of the Dem
ocratic contention that wages are in
no way dependent upon a protective
tariff. The present advance comes
under a low tariff. and, as the Boston
Herald says. it is an object lesson
which demolishes the pretense Of Nc
Kfnley that we need a return to high
rates of duty to restore manufacturing
to it's normal condition and increase
wages. This is coming, and has come
without it. The manufacturers them
selves are the witnesses on the stand
to-day to prove this. Some of them
who were blindly welded TO Mchln-
levism and declared that wages must
he reduced if the tariff We're reduced
are now proving to the country that
wages can be increased though the
tariff has been reduced The delusion
that McKiuleyism is necessary to high
wages is already exploded, and long
before NlcKinIeyism win be in a con-
dition to be fastened again upon the
nation there will not be yestige left
Of it.
Wages are regulated by the require
ments of business. and not at all by
the shifts of politics. This is TACT IN
political economy which is now being
proved to the American people.
