lively fight on in the upper Big Sandy val

Some have enormously thought that
there Is no danger in those schools which
are called neutral, and that Catholic chill

schools; but the very fact of such institu-

wrong upon religion itself, and displaces it

In Northwestern ohio.

TOLEDO, O., April 1s.-The number of
new rigs that are beng erected in the
northwestern Ohio field is something
enormous, and if the price of the crude
product holds up anywhere near what it
is now the oil trade will make this by far
the greatest year in the history of the
Trenton limestone field. People that never
had any idea of embarking in the oil bus-
ness are out hustling for leases. There is
a fascination about the oil industry that
catches them all, and when once In it they
are there to stay. Every outgoing train
in the direction of the oil country is load
ed down with passengers Ten-barrel ter
ritory is now considered very valuable. On
Saturday last the shipments of Lima crude
by the Buckaye Pipe Line Company amount
ed to S4,l72 barrels. The runs We're 1l3,--
523 barrels. The large runs are accounted
for by the selling OF oil by those parties
who were holding for better prices. The
shipments were very large and if they
average that for any length of time the
surplus will diminish very rapidly. The
largest and most important well completed
in the Trenton-rock district during the past
few days is the property of TAFT & Nc
Donald, located on the Twibell farm, near
Montpelier. 1t started at better than three
hundred barrels a day.
