Anderson's Public Library.


Special 10 the indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON. Ind, Aug appropriations
are being made to greatly increase the
number of volumes in the Anderson Public
Library. The city is taking great deal of
interest at present in this institution, and
Anderson is fast acquiring one of the incest
and most complete reference libraries in
the State. AS yet the number of volumes
is limited to 5000 but this is thought to be
an exceptional showing for three years
work. Prior to that time there was only
few cast-off volumes on the shelves in
back room of a building, and few knew
that they existed. The new library is in
pretty and comfortable quarters in one of
the most prominent blocks up town, and
under the direction of Stephen Metcalf and
others is gradually becoming the most pops
ular institution in the city. Last year the
number of volumes let out was $4,000. and
this will be greatly increased this Year. 1t
is thought now that the number of books
will be doubled in the next two years. Miss
Anna Myers formerly of Gosport is in
charge and has Miss Chapman and Miss
May Metcalf as assistants.

Since January They Have Increased
100000 Barrels.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
MONTPELIER, Ind, Aug. 13.-The pro-
duction of crude petroleum in the eastern
field during July so far exceeded the con-
sumption as to result in an accumulation
of over 100000 barrels of net stock. The
runs averaged less than those of June,
which were the heaviest of the year, while
the shipments m@e a considerable gain.
Since the first of the year the stocks in
the custody of the various pipe lines have
increased over 100000 barrels. The great
est gain for any month was close to 100000
barrels. The West Virginia fields continue
to supply the big wells, and are producing
the greater bulk of the oil that is being
brought to the surface al the present time
The July pipeline runs from the entire east
ern field per day was 96,537 barrels, while the
shipments were 1888 barrels, or a gain for
the runs over the shipments of 9,204 barrels
a day for the month. The credit balances
of the Buckeye Pipeline Company in the
Ohio and Indiana fields which were 6,S02, 40
barrels Dec. 81. by July 81 had decreased
to 6,262 ,578 barrels. The runs of the Buckeye
line in the Ohio and Indiana fields averaged
54,9l4 barrels day in July, which was a
decline of 1,401 barrels, as compafe ed with
the month preceding. During July the ship
ments were increased 1.062 barrels a day
over June, and amounted TO SO 4l6 barrels a
day. The shipments so far for the month
of August is not very encouraging to the
trade, as they are close to 1900 barrels less
than the runs from the wells. The large
increase in the PRODUCTION, or runs. is due
to the finding of wells in the Alexandria
pool of this State and the completion of
gushers in Lucas county, while in the
Cynget pool of Wood county some phenom-
email wells are being completed on town lots,
to say nothing of one well on the Sherwood
farm in the same county. that produces
at the rate of 500 barrels a day. Then,
again, in the new field opened up southwest
from Lima in Auglaize county. there are a
number of wells that have been completed
of late, and starting off at the rate or
from five to twenty barrels per hour. The
following is a summary report of oil from

GRAECO-TURKIsH ARMIsTICE.
Extension signed-Peacc NegOtia-
tiOns Expected to Follow.

LONDON, June 3.-The Turks have
promised to sign the extension of the
armistice at dawn to-day, and it is ex-
pected that peace negotiations will then
begin at Constantinople. King George,
it IS understood, has yielded several
points with a view to Fastening nego-
tiations and bringing about the Turk
ish evacuation of Thessaly. In this mat
ter. il is said, the Russian Government
has promised TO support Greece. The
Turkish military commission continues
10 hold long sitings at the Yildiz Kiosk
and il is very evident that the general
impression in COnstantnople is that the
peace negotiations will collapse and that
the war will be renewed.
The plan of sending Crown Prince Con-
stantine to London has been abandoned,
as the trip might be interpreted, either
as a desertion from his post in time OF
danger. or as removal from the chief
command. and consequently a disgrace.
The likelihood f. that Prince Nicholas
will go i'm his stead Both King George
and the Crown Prince have offered to
forego a portion of the civil list, in view
of the Strengthened finances of the coun-
try.
