A VAIL is going up from Pennsylva-
MIA over the fact that the production
of petroleum in that state is becoming
less every year. Ten years ago the
Keystone state produced nearly all the
oil consumed in the country.
Since that time the product has de-
clined until less than two-fifths of the
entire amount consumed in the coun-
try comes from Oil City and it's envi-
rons. Pennsylvania output in 1894
was but 10, 225, 900 barrels. as compared
with $4,000, 236 in 1891. The output of
the entire oil fields of the country was
40, 344,516 barrels.

A STRONG movement has deva,onea :,

A STRONG movement has developed in
the Scandinavian Lutheran church in
Minnesota for the adoption of English
as the official language of the church
organization, and for the total aban-
donment of the use of the old tongue.
Many prominent members are con-
WINGED that only by the adoption of the
English language in the church can
the younger generation, which was
either born or brought up in this
country, be kept within the Lutheran
fold. An organization has been formed
by the progressive ministers and eld-
ers to secure the change.

Harry Wants 1t.

The fact that the representative of
the Travellers Insurance Company did
not know of any claim filed by Harry
Hayward for the insurance on Miss
Ging's life, may have been his fault, or
it may not. 1t is fact, however, that
Harry Hayward signed an application
of that sort and that it was signed be-
fore Deputy Phil Megaarden, who took
Harry's acknowledgment to the appli-
cation. 1t was made necessary, too,
by the fact that the time for fling such
an application had almost expired.
Walter Shumaker, Erwin's assistant,
brought over the formal order staying
Hayward's execution, and filed it with
the clerk When asked as TO the in
surance, he replied:
''We don't want to say anything
about that at all; we don't want to be
quoted on that subject"
