TFE OIL BOOM COLLAPSED.

The Standard Oil Company, by
bidding the market up to a sky
rocket height, having secured all
the oil above ground and started
the drill in thousands of new
wells, has been letting the market
sag back by degree.
Whatever the Standard says
about the price goes; for the
Standard is the market. Be
tween Marshall pipe line bills,
alliances with the Russian oil
magnates and other exclusive
privileges which everybody helps
the Standard to secure, the other
refiners and exporters don't
count. When the Standard says
oil is worth two dollars, two dol
lars it is, and those who have oil
to sell don't haggle about it or
offer it to anybody else that
wants it. When the Standard
concludes to cut the present
price in half 1t will be all the
same. The producers will sell
for one dollar or keep their oil
until the Standard consents to
take it at its own price which
may easily be less rather than
more.
The fact that the Standard is
manipulating the business to
contribute to the $500, 900, 600
fortune which John D. Rockafel-
Ter, with a modesty that is rather
surprising, is said to have set as
the limit Of the sum he wants tc
his credit before seeking his for
tune in the great beyond, does
not damp the ardor of the merry
oil drillers. Like the overland
miner in the old days who nailed
to his prairie schooner the in
scription pixies Peak or Bust
the average oil producer is after
oil if he ''busts" when he gets it
The Standard may take the cream
and he will be content with tn,
skimmings if he must, but oil h,

as liberal quantities as the proli

IT IS WELL SAID.

Joe. Caldwell, the intrepid and
sagacious editor of that splendid
and aggressive North Carolina
journal the Charlotte Observer
carries, perhaps. the ~levelest
head of any editor in the State.
He comes nearer saying the pro-
per thing at the proper time and
in the proper shape than any
editor of our knowledge north Or
South.
In his issue of Wednesday,
commenting On the voluntary
excess of the appearance bond
Of defaulter and forger Holland,
which was so readily given
by citizens of Charlotte, Mr..
Caldwell says:
The making of a bond of $751;

Ter for whom a bond of only $15,-
90 was needed, was a regrettable
occurrence No matter how charm
ing his personal qualities, sight
should never for a moment be
lost of the fact that this man is a
criminal, and deserves the same
sympathy and the same punish
ment. except in a much larger
degree, that is measured out to
the poor white man who steals a
side of meat or the negro who
steals a dominecker chicken. Men
who have boys to raise need to

advertisement this morning in
the statement to the world Of the
size of this bond, and any other
trust official who has the band

lple and who may be contemplate
ing the appropriation of a part
of it to his own purpose will find
great encouragement in this in

That is the kind of journalism

the minds of the people and leads
the masses along right paths OF

FRAUD Is CLAIMED
In an Action to Cancel Mort
cages.

The New England Mutual Life Insur-
ance company yesterday filed a COM
plant in an action against Augustus
Capehart, Frank e. McIntire and Cor
nelius Williams, to have set aside and
Cancelled certain mortgages on prop
erty purchased by the plaintiff at sher-
ifs sale. The complaint alleges that
Capehart was the original owner, and
for the purpose of fraudulently cloud
ing the title gave a deed of transfer
without consideration to Williams, who
in turn gave 100 mortgages on the prop
erty TO McIntire. These mortgages
were filed for record at different times,
and when the property was sold by the
sheriff under the prior mortgage, Nc
Intire filed 100 notices of redemption.
AS each notice of redemption secures
a stay of five days after the time for
redemption has expired, these 100 no
tees would serve to keep the property
out of possession of the plaintiff for
500 days in addition to the year al
lowed by law in which to redeem.
The plaintiff asks that the court order
the cancellation Of these mortgages.

KARTAK WINS A BET.
HE SAWS A CORD OF WOOD IN
LESS THAN EIGHT HOURS.
The Performance Is Witnessed in
Masson's Yard by Large
Audience.

Aid. kartak sawed wood yesterday
real wood and cord of it at that. He
also split it and piled it up, and ac-
complished the entire job in six hours
and forty-nine minutes. The alder
man engaged to this work, as previ-
ously announced in the GLOBE, upon
not saw, split and pile one cord of wood
within eight hours.
hartak made the bets with Frank
Huber, Justin Mason and Gus Blu
cheren, and said that after he had
sawed and piled the wood he would
donate it to the Little Sisters of the
Poor"
Aid. kartak's performance drew a
large audience to the yard in the rear
OF Masson's meat market on ST. Peter
near Seventh street, where the cord
OF wood awaited the alderman. He
TOOK Off his coat, grabbed a saw and
sailed into the first stick of wood at
just four minutes before a. m. He
sawed steadily until noon, when he
took an hour for dinner About II a.
m. Aid. Brady strolled in and bet Kar-
TAX 500 he could not finish the cord in
eight hours. The alderman took Brady
up. There was considerable betting
going on among the spectators, es-
pecially as the day advanced and the
crowd grew larger. The boys joshed
and Jollied the alderman from start
to finish, but it never phased him. At
precisely 3:45 p. m. the alderman laid
the last stick upon the wood pile, hav-
ing sawed and split the entire cord
in just six hours and forty-nine min
utes, not counting, of course, the hour
devoted to dinner
He had, therefore, one hour and
eleven minutes to spare on his bet.
The wood, which is hard oak, was sent
to the Little Sisters of the Poor as
promised.

construct a solid stone wall around
the reformatory buildings. This
would furnish work for a large num-
Der of convicts for a long time, and
probably in no other way could the
stone and the labor be utilized to
good purpose without coming direct
ly into competition with free labor.
NEEDS OF THE REFORMATORY.
Authorities of the reformatory will
ask S1O0 900 of the present legislature
To enable them to erect new cell
building. AS Supt. Lee pointed out
to the GLOBE representative, 400
prisoners could be cared for as we'll
as127 at but slightly increased cost,
if any at ALL To care for the lesser
humber requires as many guards
and - almost as much bookkeeping
and detail work as would be re-
uuined for three times as many. But
a new cell building is an absolute
necessity before any greater num-
Der can be accommodated.
The present solitary cells are
worthy only of condemnation. They
are located in the basement and are
not fit to put human beings into.
The superintendent very much de-
sires an improvement in the soil
taries, so that they will be located
above ground.
In the bake shop there is big re-
volving oven, where is baked all the
bread used in the reformatory. The
flour used is good and the bread is
freshly baked each day. A batch of
ginger bread that had just been
turned out of the pans was gener-
ously partaken of by the visitors,
and the ladies of the party pro-
nounced both the bread and the
cake good enough for any one to eat.
The laundry and the kitchen are
both provided with the most modern
appliances for doing the work re-
quired. There is also drug store,
completely equipped, and each morn
ing there is a sick call, when the
prison physician prescribes for those
who complain Of illness.
The GLOBE reporter stood by
table at the head of the cell room
last Friday evening as the prisoners
one reached the GRUB table" he
took up a big tin cup full of coffee
and a tin plate on which was mo-
lasses, a piece of butter and good
sized chunk of gingerbread. Then
he passed along to a man whose
arms were laden with thick slices of
bread. Some of the prisoners took
but one piece, while others took two,
three, four or six. A man is allowed
to help himself to all he thinks he
can eat. Having secured their grub,
the prisoners ascend to the different
galleries and take station in front
of their respective cells. the left hand
resting on the cell door. At a sig
nal the doors are pulled open, and
each one pulls his own door shut as
are pulled, one motion locking all
the doors on a gallery; then a guard
passes along and turns the lock ham
die on each door. Another guard
counts the inmates on each gallery
and reports to Head Keeper Morton.
Until this formality has been COM
piled with and the total found cor
rect not even guard is permitted
to leave the cell room.
Each cell is lighted by electricity,
and when the inmates are not at
sehool-which is held three even
ings1.a week-they are allowed to
read until 8 o'clock. Two books may
be drawn every week by each inmate
from a fairly well equipped library.

HE ADVANCED MONEY
TO THE TRUSTEES OF A LARGE
SYNDICATE,

Which Sought to Recover Prop
erty in England - Interesting
Suit Brought Here on Change of
Venue.
Papers in an interesting suit that has
come to the district court here on a
change of venue from ST. Louis county
were filed yesterday. The title of the
case is Marcus w. Bates VS.. J. W. War
rem and A. D. Haslett. Quite number
of people are acquainted with the fact
| that there was organized in Philadel-
phia some years since a cooperative
company for the purpose of aiding one
Hector Jennings to recover a large es-
tate, to which he claimed to be the law
full heir. The property was in England,
and was said to be worth several mil
lions of dollars, but Jennings had no
means to fight the claimants in the
courts The company was accordingly
formed, on condition that it was to
receive one-half of whatever amount
Jennings might recover. Five-dollar
stock certificates of this company We're
sold extensively throughout the coun-
try on the promise that the holders
would share pro rata in the event of
the contest terminating in Jennings
favor
The complaint in the suit just filed
alleges that the defendants were trus-
tees of the company, and represented to
the plaintiff that the company was
greatly in need of immediate funds, and
if he would advance 81, 300 on seventy
five certificates he would not only get
his money back, but would be a pro-
portionately heavy sharer in the prop
erty recovered. He advanced the
money, but, according to the allega-
lions in the complaint, none of it
was ever turned over to the company,
with the exception of the amount re-
quired to pay for the certificates. He
sues to recover the difference, 81, 225.
