If he takes a farm worth &5 an acre

Since the indianapolis convention
the National Democrats have gone on
with the organization of the party in
nearly all of the States represented in
the convention. BY election day it is
proba BILE that the Democrats of every
state will be able to choose between
Bryanite candidates and men pledged
to the Democratic principles enunciated
at Chicago. In some States the zeal
GUS leaders of the National Democracy
are very sanguine that they will Sc
cure the electoral vote. That feeling
may be justified by intimate acquaint-
ance with the conditions in the States.
but refusal to accept the prediction
does not imply doubt that the party
will serve righteous purpose in Sc
curing votes enough to prevent the
capture of electors for the candidates
repudiated at Indianapolis.
The reasonable expectation of the
National Democratic managers is that
Indiana will cast something like 10,-
900 votes for Palmer and Buckner, and
assure TIE defeat of Bryan. In Illinois,
it is asserted by competent judges that
the indianapolis ticket will get not
less than 10000 votes, and perhaps 50,-
900, and sanguine men estimate the
Cook County vote as high as $4,000 for
Palmer. In Maryland, West Virginia,
Tennessee, Missouri, Iowa, Ohio Kan
sas, Nebraska, where any division of
the Democratic party must be regarded
as menace of success, the most in
significant strength that the Indian
apolis ticket may command must i'm
pair the chances for victory to the
Bryan party.-Oc tober Review of Re-
views

In The OIL Fields.
WEST VIRGINIA FIELDS.

Pittsburg, Sept 2s. The Kanawha
Oil company started well for Monday
by bringing in its No. 8 we'll on the
Mills tract ia Wetzel county, w. Va.
1t is Gordon sand producer, estimat-
ed good for 100 bbls- a day. Its loca-
tion is 1900 feet southwest of it's first
venture on this property. The new
strike is the largest and most encour-
aging that has been made in the deep
sand in Wetzel county. Further to the
southwest, the South Penn Oil COM
pany drilled in we'll on the Fluharty
farm, last week, that is producing 80
bbls. day. If more of the same kind
of wells as the last two mentioned can
be found, the Gordon sand territory
will reg ain its lost prestige. The first
six wells drilled in that territory re-
suited in light producers dry holes or
gassers When the expense of drilling
in the deep territory is taken into ac-
count, nothing below so or 75-bbl. wells
to start with can be considered profta-
hle. The actual cost of drilling sim
gle well represents an outlay CT from
six to ten thousand dollars. These
figures considered. the small operator
hesitates and does some hard thinking
before he decides to take the chances,
even though he is holder of favor
ably tested lease.
The Devonian Oil companys No. l.,
S. S. Smith farm, east of the Bullman
pool, near Wick, Tyler county, will
probably make small producer de-
spite the fact that its owners had Civ
en- it up for a duster When deep in
the sand late Saturday night pay
streak was encountered and the we'll
made flow. Its calibre will probably
not be known until it has been put to
pumping.
The Victor Oil and Gas company will
drill in another we'll on the Furtze
farm this week, located in the Indian
Creek region. With this exception,
operations along Indian creek have
been suspended. The wells in the
Kyle pool have tunnbled to very small
proportions and few of them are not
producing at all.
The Big Injun territory, near He
bron, Peasants county, will have sew
eral new wells in this week.

A Valuable Prescription.

what the Facts Show.

A newspaper organ of the silver mines
says:
while we coined gold and silver, as
we did until 1878, none of these disas-
ters which are supposed to attend free
silver coinage befell us. Since we
stopped that coinage all the evils which
the closest students regard as INSOFAR
able from gold monometallism have
fallen to the lot of the nation"
Before 1S73-that is. during 81 years
the government had coined 6,69l ,721
standard silver dollars.
From 1878 to 1895, a period of Ia
years, it coined 429, ,289,91 full legal
tender silver dollars and issued $751;.
600, 600 OF treasury notes in purchase of
1913, 674, ,6S2 fine ounces Of silver.
Can the relation between silver anf
disasters" be traced in these figures!

WHAT IT MEANS.
Ten Dollar Suit. Oyercoat or Macintosh
for Seven Dollars and Everything
Else In Proportion.

What Herman wise's object may be
IN offering 30 per cent reduction OF
everything In his store is hard telling.
but he makes the offer and II In easy
To- predict a big run 10 his store. Mr.
Wise says that while there are certain
goods on which clothIers make as high
AZ 30 per cent yet on account Of hard
times the average profits do not run as
high. but the dull season has COM
menced and be is determined v do
business.
He says that what little he owes he
needn't bc afraid Of his creditors. and
he feels at liberty to sell goods at
whatever price he sees NJ.
Mr Wise hints at a probable change
In his business. not a change In the
arm, but probable addition OF one
or two more departments besides cloth
ing. At anyrnte whatever the reason.
he offers reduction Of 90 cents of each
and ever dollars worth Of goods bought
for cash In his store during the next
80 days, and nobody should be foolish
enough to miss this opportunity.
