Life Gone Out Of Oil.

PlTTsBURG, April 29.-The life and
activity seems to have gone out of the
oil market. Oil opened at 81. 90 bid and
was offered at *$1.98, down TO $1.96
without any sales. Only 1000 barrels
were sold on the Oil City exchange up
to 1920. The Standard again made re-
auctions in the price for credit balances
of Is cents, to 81. 10.

Said There Is No Hope for the Recovery Of
Mrs. Parnell.
BoRDESTowN, n. j., April 25.-It
now seems but question of a few hours
until Mrs. Parnell passes away. Since
she was attacked by the first convulsion
She has grown rapidly worse and is
growing weaker every minute. DR..
Ships, the attending physician, has
given up all hope Of saving her life,
and as she is too weak to undergo an
operation, all that can be done is to
wait for the fast approaching end. Dr.
Ships believes if she was strong
enough to stand an operation that the
clot Of blood at the base of the
brain, which, in his opinion, is the
cause of the commissions, could
be successfully removed, and while
it might not result in her ultimate re-
covery, life could be prolonged for some
time. Friends Of the distinguished
patient are at her bedside, but she does
not seem to recognize any one. She
has not spoken half dozen words i'll

It is understood that the decision of
the court to depart from its almost un-
broken custom of deciding upon the ad-
visibility of rehearings without invit-
ing further suggestions from counsel
than is contained in brief written state
ments, is due to the appreciation which
the members have Of the vast impor-
lance of the income tax cases and
their desire to have it understood by
the public that they are not disposed to
place any obstacle in the way of the
fullest possible presentation of the case.
The usual practice in regard to petitions
for rehearing is to grant them upon the
motion of one of the. members of the
court who has concurred in the decision
already made, but it would appear from
the course taken in the present instance
of submitting even this preliminary
matter to the full bench that none of
the justices felt disposed to make such
q motion, and that the arrangement
now announced was hit upon as COM
PROMISE Justice Jackson, therefore,
will virtually come into the case as an
umpire. In the meantime, the original
decision will be allowed to stand as the
law, and it is understood that the full
text of the chief Justices opinion will
soon be given to the public.

And the Question of Rehearinx tho In
como Tax Cases Re.ts with That Jnrist.
May 8 Set by the Chief Justice ~ tho
Day to Hear Arguments
WASHINGTON, April 27.-The United
States supreme court. through Chief
Justice Fuller, made the following Or
der in regard to petitions for a rehear-
ing of the income tax question::
THE consideration of the two petit
tons, (the income tax petitions) for re-
hearing is reserved until Monday, May
6, when full bench is expected, and
in that event two counsel on side will
be heard at that time
Although the order does not explic-
lily so state, il, means that argument
will be heard, not on the merits of the
tax question ITSELF. but on the question
whether or not there shall be rehear-
ing of the suits heretofore decided.
This argument, it is expected, will in
clude the extent to which the rehearing
shall go, that is, whether it shall be
confined merely to the point Oh which
the court was evenly divided, the
constitutionality of the income tax
law IS whole, or whether the
whole question shall be reopened and
new arguments made on the question
of whether or not rents are exempt
from taxation, as to which there was a
clear majority of the court against this
feature of the tax. The announcement
by the court is further confederation of
reports of improvement in the health
of Justice jackson, as it was made only
after assurances that unless his case
took turn for the worse, he would be
able to return to his seat ON the bench
by the date named in the order.

NICKEL STEEL.
It's Extended Use viii Prove Source OF
Profit to Canada.

It's Extended Use viii Prove a Source OF
Profit to Canada.
"When nickel steel comes into gen
eral use for the construction of vessels,
as it undoubtedly WILL" said Cana
dian gentleman at the Great Northern
the other day, Canada will, in sense,
control the shipbuilding industry, be-
cause, so far as is at present known,
there is very little nickel outside Of the
Dominion, whilo we have nickel bear
ing pypit practically without limit.
Trt.aJ whole vast stretch Of territory
reaching from Lake Superior to Labra-
dor is rich in it and will produce hun
dreds Of thousands of tons of it annual
ly for an unlimited period whenever the
demand requires it.
"How will Shis control the shipbuild-
ing industry? Why, in this way. It has
been demonstrated by conclusive tests at
your proving grounds at Sandy Hook
and elsewhere that steel mixed with, say,
bper cent Of nickel is double the strength
of ordinary steel. In the construction of
men-ofwar the advantage is obvious,
and i'll building merchant vessels the
benefit to be derived from the use Of
nickel steel is equally plain, as it will
enable them to be built much lighter
than they are now, which means less
coal and less engine power with an equal
amount of security and equal amount of
speed. 1t will only be few years when
wooden vessel i'll the port of Chicago
will be something of novelty and the
new vessels will before very long, for
the reasons indicated, be made of nickel
steel, and this will be the only metal in
demand for the purpose at your great
shipbuilding yards in Cleveland, De-
troit, South Chicago and other points.
Another advantage which steel hay,
ing nickel in its composition possesses
over ordinary steel is that it will not
corrode and that barnacles cannot get
foothold on it, so that nickel steel ships
bottom will never require to be scraped.

WENT TO LIBERIA
WHERE SOME DIED OF DISEASE
AND OTHERS STARVED.

Three Negroes Tell How They Were
Duped Into Going to Acricn.-After Poy-
ing Their Money Were Dumped Ashore
to Get Along as Best They Could.
PHILADELPHIA, July 31.-At the Way
farers' lodge, Lombard street, homesick
md destitute, are three negroes of Ar
kansas, who have returned from Ii
IBERIA, whittier they went as colonists
some months ago. OF nearly 100 COM
panions in the expedition some are
said to have died of starvation and
others are eking out a wretched exist
ence in Africa
The three men are farmers of Jeffer-
son county, Ark. Frank Shelton,> one
Of the men, has a wife and four chill
dren there; J. R. Tucker, another, has a
family, and Ebenezer Russell, the third,
is unmarried.
They say the international Migration
society of Birmingham, Ala, offered 20
acres of land to every colonist and used
as Endorsement the name of Bishop II.
M. Turner of Atlanta. The subscribers
were required to pay $401 in advance by
installments, and their passage to Sa-
vannah. In return they were to be
given their passage, food and the land
on arrival. The ship sailed in March
for Monrovia with 81 colonists, who
were in the care of the society's secre-
tary. The men declare they were SIM
ply dumped ashore and allowed to shift
for themselves.
A score of their comrades died of
fever, and some, it was reported, per-
ished by starvation. Work could not
be secured, and the flesh of dead ami
mails and snakes was seized upon with
avidity for food. Shelton and his two
neighbors saw no hope for them in the
colony and succeeded in obtaining pas
sage to Liverpool and thence to Phila-
delphia. They expect help from Ar
kansas which will enable them to re-
turn to their homes.

MALINTA, Aug 3rd, 1895.

ED. NoRTHwEST:-The account of
the Conrad Herge suit for damage
done his corn by cattle, given in last
weeks NORTHWEST, is far from being
correct. There was not as much
damage done as stated. 1t is not true
that the witnesses for the defense
were all republicans. OF the ten men
sworn at the trial eight were demo-
Gratis and two republicans. No set
tlement was proposed by either par
ty after the witnesses visited the field.
Had Mr.. Herge's estimate of the
amount of damage done by our cat
tie been within reason, the matter
would have never reached a trial.
Disinterested parties have placed
the damage as low as twenty-five
cents. The estimate of the witnesses
for the defense was truthfully stated
by them in court to be the outside
figure, viz: Two and one-half dollars.
The enclosure into which the cat
tie got where the damage was done,
contains four or five acres of timber,
four or five acres of tolerably fair
corn and about one and one-half
acres of late planted, new ground
corn, which latter the owners have
never even cultivated
1t was in this uncultivated corn
where at last nine-tenths of the eat
ing by the cattle was done, the
larger corn in the other part of the
field being but little disturbed.
The estimate made by plaintiffs
witnesses was based upon the as
sumption that this late planted un-
cultivated corn would make a full
average crop. The witnesses for the
defense did not consider it possible
that it would do so, and that it would
scarcely be anything more than for
fodder corn and made their estimate
accordingly This will accountin part
for the discrepancy between the esti-
mates.
The truth concerning the ex-coun-
ty officials testimony is that he
placed the amount of corn destroyed
in the early planted part at one-half
bushel of shelIed corn and stated
that he regarded $3.50 as a rather
high estimate for the damage done
to both the early and later planted
parts He did not place the value of
So. so upon one-half bushel shelled
corn as your informant evidently
intended it should appear: AS de-
PENDANTS in the said case, we deem it
but justice to all to make the forego-
ing statement.
In conclusion we will say that the
field where the damage was done, is
being visited almost daily by differ
ent parties and the expressions of
surprise at amount of damage asked
is universal. Very Respectfully,
J. c. MoHLER,

HENRY COUNTY AND OIL.
a Test Well Being Put Down in
Damascus Township.

A party of Napoleon citizens, head
ed by r. w. Cahill, have commenced
to prospect for oil in this county. The
first well will be put down in Section
16, Monroe township, which is about
the center of Henry county. The
derrick is up and the drill has COM
menced its downward course in search
of oil, which is believed to exist un-
der the siol of Henry county in pay
ing quantities.
Mr.. Cnhill and other of our citizens
have always contended that oil could
be found in this county, and that
all that was required was the neces-
sary capital to improve the field
Much time was spent in trying to en-
list outside capital and oil men to in
terest themselves in the work in Hen
ry county, but without success, until
our own citizens determined to take
hold of the matter and thoroughly
test the question as to whether Henry
county had oil or not.
Much interest is being taken in the
progress of the Monroe township well
and results are awaited with consid-
cradle anxiety.
All hail the inauguration of the oil
boom in Henry county!

An Able Judge Resigns.

The Blade of Monday says: Judge
Henry w. Seney, of this city,
formerly of Kenton, o., has been in
New York for several days past. On
Saturday he mailed a most import
ant letter to Governor Mckinley.
The letter contained Mr.. Seney's
resignation as Judge of the Circuit
Court of the judicial district of which
kenton and Findlay forms part.
There are sixteen counties in the dis
trict and Governor Mckinley will
have the naming of Seney' successor.
The Judges reasons for retiring
from the bench are purely personal.
He went to New York to confer with
number of very prominent gentle
men, who have large interests in the
West. For several years he has
looked after the legal affairs of at
least one of these gentlemen, and
now his field is to be enlarged. The
iudgeship pays but $4,000 a year, a
mere pittance to what man of the
judges capabilities is entitled to earn
in the practice of his profession. He
has contemplated for some time re-
signing from the bench and his visit
to New York was largely to make ar
rangements to that end. His deter
mination to do so, will cause decided
commotion, not only among the
many attorneys in the judicial cir
cult over which he presides, but
among his many friends and ac-
quaintances here and throughout the
state in other walks of life. The
judge is brother of ex-Congressman
Geo. Seney, of Tiffin, and Judge j..
r. Seney, of this city. He will re-
turn in a few days and devote his
time exclusively to his business af-
| fairs

Take Care of Your Health.

Good health is to be valued above
all things else, it is more precious
than silver or gold, all the gold in the
world will not buy it, even for a sin
gle day. Then if so valuable, why
take so little care of it when you
have it. The principle reason is that
you do not appreciate it, until it is
gone, and then very often you can
never get it back again. You let q
common cough or cold, little pain
or an ache run without any atten-
tion, thinking it will get well of it's
self. If your horse or COW shows the
least symptoms of being sick you run
for the doctor or to the drug store
for medicine. Now this is all right
but you should do the same thing
when yourself or any of your family
are sick. A very few doses of those
never failing remedies sold at Saur Il
Balsley's Drug Store are always in
place and always sure to benefit.
