Sistersviue. W. Va. November 20
The report that the Mellon Pipe Line
Company had sold out is not news to
oil operators in this section. It has
been known here for some three or
four months that the Standard con-
trolled the Mellon lines. In the first
place. an arrangement was made last
spring between The Mellon and Eureka
lines that each was to have the oil in
certain sections Of the field. For in
stance. the Mellon lines run the oil
from the Keener district out on Middle
Island, and the Eureka people know
nothing of what is going on out there
when questioned. The Standard lines
take an the oil from certain other sec
tons of the field. and the Mellon people
have nothing to say. it will also be
noticed that the quotations on credit
balances is the same by both Gompa-
mics. Another thing in regard 10 the
purchase is the price which the stand
ard is reported TO have paid, Wnlch IS
two millions of dollars. That amount
Of money would not buy One-half OF the
holdings of the Mellon company in TINS
field alone. to say nothing Of their in
terest in the Crescent and other pipe
line companies. The report sent out
shows very plainly that it was hXed up
by a representative Of the Standard for
a purpose. but what that purpose is is
very hard to conjecture. The general
opinion here is that it is TO influence
the price of oil. which has been going
up for the past two weeks.

Eureka. ". Va. November 20
Within sixty days the territory in this
vicinity of the "Jim Dandy" will be
thoroughly tested Barney Forst and
several other parties have already 10
Gated two wells in that section-one on
the south and the southwest of the big
well. The first location is on the Ruck-
man farm and the second on the Kester
lease.
Braden & Co. the owners Of the big
well. have made three locations near
this well. The first well in on the
Ruckman farm southwest Of the ham
mitt: the second is on the Kester lease
to the southwest of the third near the
northeast.
The people in the vicinity Of the big
well have apparently gone crazy. A
short time ago leases could be procured
in that section for q mere song. but now
such prices as $3.50 to $500 an acre Is
being asked For instance, there is the
Powell tract. These people have al
a fabulous price for it. A well known
oil man. who has an interest in the
Deist farm across the river, made these
people an offer of $4,000 for the piece,
and has spoiled everything in that sec
ton. Now it is almost impossible to
get a lease at any price.
The Finley farm Of so acres has been
secured by Reynolds Bros, Of St.
MaTys. who paid a bonus of $500 for
the lease.
The Harrison farm Of 214 acres has
not been le9sed yet and can only be
leased by the parties getting it agree
ing 10 put down four wells within 80
days. There are several parties after
it. and the chances are that it will be
divided up in so acre leases.
The big well at Eureka recently drill
ed in by Braden & Co. made about $50
barrels OF oil yesterday. This is quite
falling off from what the we'll made
at first, but it is no criterion Of what
the we'll is good for When the well
was drilled in it did better than 600 bar
rels. and the sudden falling off is at
tribUted TO nothing else but the fact
that the we'll has caved, and before it
will do much more good it will be nee
essary 10 clean it out and put the cas-
ing in.

Readers will remember that every
old party sheet in the country de-
nounced Wsite's remarks as incen-
diary, snsrchistic and unpatriOtic.
The Capital took pride in ridiculing
Governor Waite on all occasions. But
these same papers indorse Wares re-
marks, although less commendable in
every respect than Governor Wsite's.
The Capital, October z, 1895, says ed
itorially:
"But whatever the opinions may be
of the soundness of the theory, there
can be no question of the influence Of
such an address, shot through and
through as it is with all the poetry Vf
patriotism, and delivered with all the
esrnestness of man whose ideas are
convictions. It is beautiful speech.
1t bristles with ideas for the scholars
to reVolVe in their minds and assimi-
late into their lives"
It is evident from the tone of these
papers that their ideas Of patriotism
are very much at variance with those
of the rank and file of the honest, ia
dustrious, patriotic citizens of the
land.

Harper upon other occasions relative

Dawes and COgswell Don't Make Enough.
Capt. w. H. Morris, County Attorney
Of Crawford county, has begun an ac-
tion in the District court Of that
county to enjoin Assistant Attorney
General Cogswell from continuing
liquor prosecutions in that county.
Capt. Morris shows that he has been
ready and willing at all times to do his
duty, that no charge Of dereliction Of
duty has ever been made In court or
otherwise against him, and that Cogs-
well is piling up costs on the county
without his authority or consent. He
also shows that he is paid salary to
perform the duties that CogsWell has
charged up thousands of dollars Of
fees for doing. 1t is eonclusiVely
shown that the Attorney General and
his assistant are assuming authority
that does not belong to them and try
ing to perform his duties which he, as
County Attorney, has always stood
ready aud willing to do.
It would appear from his petition
that Dawes and Cogswell have deliber-
stely gone into q scheme to hold up
the people of Crawford county without
authority of law for their own indl.
vidusl profit. The people Of that
county who see needless costs piled up
mountain high on them are with Capt.

Good Speech TO q Large Audience.
Davis H. Waite, Ex-Governor of
Colorado, spoke In Hamilton hall, To-
peka, on the evening Of October 22 to
large audience. He came under
arrangement of the Populist county
committee. Charles X. Holiday pre-
sided at the meeting, having been
elected chairman by aCclamation.
Governor Waite made no flowery pre-.
liminsry remarks, but diVed intol his
fsVorite subject, the misgovernment Of
the United States, asserting that the
rights Of humanity were totally neg
lected by the government in It's effort
to protect the rights Of property.
One of the most alarming usurpatlons
of power was that exhibited by the
President when he sent troops into
States without request Of the Legisls.

even in spite of the protest Of Gov.

to Illinois and Colorado. Governor
Altgeld, had wired his protest, backed
by authority Of the constitution and

swered, az do not wish to discuss the

him by what authority he invaded the
State of Colorado with troops. He
didn't answer at all, and the next day
1 heard he had gone fishing. All these
acts were done by the President at the
behest Of the railroad and other cor.
norstions." The usurpationS Of the
courts, their governing by injunction,
and their practice Of conviCting and
imprisoning without a trial by jury,
was denounced In forCible terms.
The speaker touched on the finance
question, and to illustrate the tendency
Of the British system under which we
live, he pictured the condition Of diff
ferent nations Of Europe, Asia and
Africa which have been impoverished
by the same system. He compared

favored free coinage and the plan Of
the government of State making loans

of property and the private and public
indebtedness Of the country were in
teresting features Of the speech, and
the audience showed It's appreciation
by it's profound attention. The Gov
ernor did not fail to amuse at times
with his sharp sayings and stories.
Chairman Holiday, on introducing
Governor Waite, made a very sensible
talk. Among other things he said: at
