been shot" and this makes it wonder
full well for the new field. The Allegheny
City (Pa.) Company's well No. 2 on the
Peck farm is doing three hundred barrels
a day without being shot" Peck well
No /, which went down to forty barrels,
was shot" on Friday. and is now running
three hundred barrels. Barnes & McDon-
aid will bring in a well on the Davis farm
this week. The first well which started out
big has run down TO ten barrels. Drillers
have reached sand on A c. Carver No.
and are disabled on account of a broken
engine. 1t is claimed by oil men that the
output of the field even now is greater than
that of the Montpelier district. The pool
is being well located and in the future there
is little danger of many losses. 1t is
claimed that at present three out of every
four wells are producing OIL and the others
gas, which makes them half way valuable.
There has been a great deal of dissatis-
faction among producers because the
Standard Company refused to take ''roily''
oil. The Manhattan Company now pro-
poses to take all of their oil for a term
Of years at the highest market price pre-
vail1ng. 1t is claimed that the Manhattan
agents have closed with two-thirds of the
operators and producers and have them
under contract for a period of years to
turn all of their oil over to them. They
have at the same time contracted to take
all oil produced and pay the highest market
price. They have also taken steps toward
getting rights of way for n pipe line and
ground for a pumping station.

A German Newspapers Suggestion as
to Raising the Fund Required.

A nation honors Itself by honoring it's
great men or by hOnoring their memory.
Among the illustrous men of our own State,
Oliver Z. Morton, by the common consent
of all occupies the first place not only on
account of intellectual greatness and abil-
ity, but on account OF the invaluable serV-
ices which he rendered to the State Of In
diana and the country at large at one of
the most critical periods of our history AS
the great war SoNeIhoI', OIIEer I -'ioi
toms memory will live and ought to live in
the minds and hearts of the people of IN
diana long after the names and deeds OF men
equally great in other respects snail nave
long passed into oblivion. Nor Will his
name be cherished solely as a great party
leader. Ardent Republican though he was,
and cOnspicuously as he figured during the
last twenty years of his lite as a Republic
an leader of national fame-yet to-day,
twenty years after his death, his prom
nence as party leader has given way to
the general and admiring reverence of his
countrymen for his services as statesman
and great executive, and his memory and
name have been lifted into that higher
sphere where patriots of all parties form
an ulustrious galaxy which shall shine
through the annals of American history. In
this galaxy Oliver +. MortOns memory
shines with greater luster than that of any
other son of Indiana. 1t is. therefore, just
and proper that the sons and daughters of
Indiana should cherish and revere his men,
DRY with profound gratitude and admira-
ton, and it was thought most becoming
and patriotic which inspired the Grand
Army of our State to erect TO the memory
Of this greatest son of our State a monu-
ment worthy of his genius and patriotism.
a monument which would herald to the
coming generations that the State of In

pointed to submit plans and devise means
to carry this idea into execution. As We
stated in the beginning of this article:
"A nation honors itself by honorng its
great men or their memory" While the
State of Indiana is but a part Of n great
nation, and while Oliver T.. Morton has de-
served well enough of the country at large
TO have a national monument. yet the state
of Indiana and the citizens of Indiana
should take a State and individual pride in
erecting a Morton monument at Indianapo-
lis, not only becoming his greatness, but

TO carry out such a plan, to erect such a
monument-worthy both of Morton and the
State of Indiana-artistic talent, or rather
genius of the first order, should be secured.
1t is not only the cast of Morton S features,
1t Is not only splendid personal likeness
which the statue should reproduce, but it
is the spiritual light which must have IL
lumined his features and the iron energy of
determined resolution which they unques-
tionably bore when his plan to save Indiana
FOR the Union and to send lndlanaS brave
sons to the front had matured in his great
mind-we say it is this spiritual expression,
the highest aim and achievement of the true
artist, which the marble or the bronze of the
sculptor should reflect and immortalize;
and such work is only the inspiration of
genius Fortunately, we live in an age when
genius finds its reward in pecuniary COM
pensation, and it cannot be expected that
such a monument az we would plan for the
great war Governor of Indiana, worthy
both of himself and of his State, can be
erected without an expenditure of $4,000
or 100000, and, large as the amount may

but it is absolutely certain that in each

A MUhdIed Situation.

WHEELING, W. Va, Aug. 15.-The be-
ginning of another week of the coal strike
in the Wheeling and Eastern Ohio districts
shows muddled situation. A vigorous OPP
position to the course Of the United Mine
Workers in closing down the mines that
supply coal for the several iron manufac-
turing plants has developed among the
workingmen themselves, many asserting
that a big mistake has been made. The
situation at the Laughlin mill mine, across
the river, has been Strengthened out by the
declination of the miners to work as long
as the campers are in the vicinity. The
Laughlin and other plants are now getting
coal from FairmOnt.
Monday afternoon a great mass meeting
is to be held in Bellaire which will be adj
dressed by Secretary Lewis and other lead
