MONTPELIER, Ind, July 15.-Not for
several months has the Indiana field
shown more promising than it does at the
present time with the advance in the price
of the product. One of the most important
wells in the State at the present time is
owned by the Sterling OH Company, on
the Joas Searles farm, in Section "a,
Wayne township, Huntington county, ten
miles in advance of developments. The
well is reported to make a showing for a
light pumper, and at the same time has a
tendency to expand the field for at least
several miles. which is very encouraging.
The Ohio Oil Company is also drilling an

speaks well for future developments. Ran

by the German Reichstag
WASHINGTON, July 15.-At the instance
of the agrarian leaders the German Reich
stag has just enacted a law prohibiting
speculations in options and also intended
to restrict speculation in stocks. The law
beyond doubt will affect seriously the sale
of American securities in Germany, aside
nounced purpose Of the agrarians in pass
ing the law was to increase the price of
grain, and in the debates there were plen-
tiful citations of the arguments so freely
advanced in Congress wnen the anti-option
bill was pressed a few years ago Details
of the new law are supplied to the State
Agent Moore, at Meimar. with explanatory
notes and comments. AS to stock specula-
ton the restrictions adopted threaten to
exclude from the German exchanges a
large class of American Industrial. mining
and railroad properties, and are especially
severe upon new projects. In each ex-
change government inspectors will be sta
lists except by direction of a committee, at
least a majority of whose members are not
members of the exchange. No stock can
be listed unless the corporation has been in
existence at least one year and has SUBJ
mitted a profit and loss statement for the
year, nor can any stock be listed until the
ommitte has thorouPhly examined into
the SoundneSs of the new corporation and
satisfied itself as to the truthfulness Of the
statements made in the prospectus. Any
person guilty of deceit in placing or pro-
noting stocks may be fined $4,000 marks
and there are other severe penalties for
offenses against the law.

THE BIMETALLIC PARTY.

The recent conference in Washing ton, D. C., between prominent men of varying shades of political opinion, was an event we'll calculated to excite widespread interest and cause uneasi- ness among leaders of the old parties who have been playing fast and loose with the silver question. The gather ing was composed of more than one hundred earnest, patriotic men, many of them of distinguished regulations who were willing to subordinate every other issue and deny allegiance to the old parties in order to unite in one supreme effort to free the country from the domination of the money power. As Senator Stewart said; ''The people are going to demand new Declaration of Independence"
 The platform declares that the para mount issue is the money question, and favors distinctive American finan- cial system, providing for the unre- stricted coinage of both gold and silver at the ratio of Is to l, independently of any foreign power. The platform, which is by no means brief, was read by Senator Jones, and received with pronounced demonstrations of ap- proyal.
 A call was issued for national con- vention to be held in St. Louis, July 22, to nominate candidates for Presi- dent and Vice President. It provides for 1900 delegates. Arizona is given six delegates. The national committee is directed to proceed at once to organ ize the several States and Territories for the success of the movement.

zonn, which became a law in 1893, to be in force five years, reads as follows:
 Any person who in this Territory shall, between the first day of January and the first day of September in each year, hunt, pursue, take, kill or destroy any male or female deer or fawn or antelope is guilty of misdemeanor. The presence of the undried flesh of any of the above mentioned animals makes the possessor equally respon- sible.
 The lowest penalty is $50 for each animal or any portion thereof, or one day Tn jail for each dollar of tae fine. = Tempe News.

THE MINERAL MARKET .
ARIZONA AND STATEHOOD.

The Arizona Citizen publishes dis patch from N. O. Murphy, declaring there was no foundation for the special telegram to Chicago newspaper which stated that Speaker Reed and his sup porters in Congress had pronounced against the admission of any more Ter ritories favoring the free coinage of silver. The Citizen, a supporter of the Statehood movement, says;
 "True, there may have been no ad- verse action, but no action is as bad if hot worse than adverse action"
 Whether the Chicago dispatch was authentic or not, the. impression is strong (amounting almost to convic- tion) that Arizona will not be admitted to Statehood this year. Judging from the tone of his dispatches, Mir. Murphy is not hopeful, and his unauthorized assertion that the silver interest in Arizona is of small importance and that the people of the Territory are not extremists on the money question, shows that the chances of securing Statehood are desperate.
 There are reforms and improve ments to be desired of far greater i'm portance to Arizona than the benefits which Statehood would confer. Econ omy in the fiscal administration is necessary to show that we are capable of self-government, for if the same reckless appropriation of public funds were practiced as has been carried on in the past, the new State would soon be bankrupted.
 Arizona wants less politics and more earnest work for the development of her mineral and agricultural resources. Increased opportunities for capital and labor and lower taxation will insure growth of population and prosperity. And last, but not least, rehsbilitate silver and opposition to Arizona's ad- mission to the union of States would soon vanish.

and pay all governmental cost, both city, county and Territorial. A man of much property and large business, who pays thousands of dollars taxes, will go blindly into nominating con vention or up to the polls and vote for a man to handle his and the peoples money whom he would not have or trust in his business establishment under any circumstances. The nom- mating conventions of both parties should attend to this matter, and the people should consider thata man should have some other qualifications for office save being simply "a good fellow" or the son of his father.

The Chicago Times-Herald has made the amende honorable for malicious charge against Governor Hughes, Audi tor Leitch and Myron H. McCord, members of the Board of Control, which was telegraphed from Phoenix by an irresponsible press correspond ent and published by the Times Herald and other Eastern papers. The false report charged Governor Hughes with malieasance, and alleged that the members of the Board Of Control had been indicted by the grand Jury of Maricopa county on the charge of hisappropriating Territorial funds. The Times-Herald confesses to an un- intentional and deplorable error in publishing the malicious report, which was without a semblance of trath.

From the annual report of the Wells Fargo Express Company it is found that Arizona is rapidly coming to the front as one of the leading gold and silver producing States of the Union. In the production of gold it is fourth on the list and in silver it is ninth on the list, and as producer of gold and silver combined is fifth. The total amount of both gold and silver from the Territory during the past year foots up the sum of $7,352, TIC. Phoenix Herald

"PARSON JIM"

In the Little DugOut He Told the
Boys Why He Came Out West.
From the New York World.
1t was the season of the year in Texas
when the cattle are rounding up to be
driven north for better grazing. The cow
boys had just finished supper, and sat
around their little dugout swapping lies.
Gradually the conversation turned on the
motives which had prompted the different
members of the group to go west. They
all told of the more or less discreditable
causes for their migration, with the excep-
tion of a rather taciturn but generally
popular fellow who was known as "Parson
Jim," because of the clerical cut of the at
tire which he universally affected
Why did you come west, Parson?'

Everybody smiled at what was considered

ing the merriment which he had created,
continued:
1T wcs this way. We used to hold meet
ings in the district school house in Massa-
chusetts and l did the preaching. The lit
tie flock grew, and it was decided to build

collected, were put into my hands for safe

and a few other things, went down TO the
American line pier to meet the Paris yes

sion of children of assorted sizes.
Under his arm the man carried a roll
of cloth. The man laughed, then the wo-
man laughed, and then man, woman and
children all laughed together The old
man had something up his sleeve: some
joke, or some demonstration was about to
be sprung, that was evident.
When the Paris pushed her nose in sight
and turned deliberately toward the slip the
grandparents and grandchildren became
nervous with excitement.
The Paris dropped down a little nearer.
The senior member of the group could
wait no longer. He unrolled a fiery red
banner three feet long and two feet wide
and held IT between his outstretched hands.
Emblazoned on the canvas were the gnifi-
cant words in bold letters:

A rosy-cheeked man, who looked as
though his sea trip had thoroughly agreed
