among the novelties. Some new fans are
of black silk gauze with hand painting Of
lilies of the valley looking almost as nat
ural as If freshly gathered and fastened
there. Parasols are wonderful. One was
of pale pink silk, covered with gathered
white crepe lisse. At the edge there was o
deep doubled ruflle. The inside had per-
haps dozen narrow ruflles Of the same.
When open or when closed, the large double
ruflle puffed out like series Of small bal
looms A frill Of the same was put around
the top and another around the handle.
Divided skirts for riding habits are now
being openly made and worn. They are
almost like the divided skirt for bicycling
lacking only the really superfluous breadth
that IL fastened across the front. Basque
and hat and gloves and boots are all as they
were and nothing is changed save the skirt
Beneath this riding skirt, which hangs on
each side in very proper folds, is worn a
pair of black knitted pantaloons. High
laced boots are the most fashionable now.
Lace is always effective over another col
or. A black lace gown was made over
grass green silk, and all the length of the
skirt at equal distances were bands of black
ribbon. A belt was Of the ribbon. The
blouse waist was also made bayadere by it,
1t closed at the left side with gold buckles
above row of loops and black lace. A
parasol was made of the green and covered
with the lace. The sleeves were of lace
over the silk without ribbon.
A new gown for summer Is in change
able taffeta in two shades of heliotrope
Ruffles of the same simulate tablier
This Is quite a new fancy, but popular
one The waist is combination Of cream
lace gold braid and ruflles and bows of the
silk. The sleeves arc very pretty; puffed
and shirred at the top and slashed at the
wrist. The belt and stock are of a deep
violet shade. A hat of cream straw with
tea roses and large violet ostrich tips Is
made to go with this gown.
One of the prettiest Of the figured sum-
mer silks Is of woodbine over silvery
gray ground. The upper part of the waist
is of white lace and silk null. This is also
put upon the skirt as trimming. The hat
| is Of white straw with gold colored null
and gold coiored plumes.

A GUSHER.

courts on previous occasions, and they are
going merrily ahead sinking shafts and
leasing farms. 1t will be most lively
war, for there are millions on each side of
the fight, also determined men who know
the use of money as "a factor in legal bat
ties.
All this turmoil centers around one six
inch hole on the farm of Nimrod Carver
near Alexandria. Eight young men of
Lima, encouraged by the fact that gas wells
in the vicinity of Andersonville had been
spouting oil, Clipped in $3.50 each and
leased the Carver farm. Farmer Carver,
who was struggling desperately along un.
der a heavy mortgage with foreclosure and
ruin staring him in the face, readily accept
ed the terms Of the oil men. They agreed
to give him one-sixth of the oil, but no
cash bonus per acre as Is usual In Oil con-
tracts. The well was sunk in March, but
1t had gone over 100 feet into the Trenton
rock without show of either gas or oil
when the discouraged operators determined
to "shoot it," They had almost given up
in despair at having sunk "dry hole"
and they agreed to put all their remain
ing funds into one big blast.
1t was gloomy crowd that gathered
around the derrick and watched the care
into the hole. Their spirits were as heavy
as the iron ego devil" which was dropped
down on the explosive. But in an instant
there was a sudden transformation. With
a roar like that of tornado the gas came
rushing up the tube, and behind it, seeth-
ing from the lower regions, came the oil,
spouting high above the derrick and show
ering the surrounding country, as well as
the Joy frantic operators with the sticky,
malodorous fluid. They had struck oil for
q certainty Since the well has been under
control it has never been given it's full
head, but even at that 1t has flowed from
400 to 500 barrels day.
Forty y.eight hours after this we'll was
opened oil men from all parts of the coun-
| try were swarming into Indiana. The
astonished farmers were awakened at all
hours Of the night by men who shook rolls
! of crisp bank notes at them and begged
them to sign contracts. Some Of the
| farmers were given as high as $50 an acre
yearly rent and an eighth interest in the
well. One hard headed old chap refused
these terms,
"Well, how much more do you wantr"
asked the despaiIing agent.
"I've got to have tenth interest or it's
no 60, was his answer. His terms were
accepted SO quick it made him dizzy, and
he didn't find out his mistake until a
week later.
The oil fever is a most disturbing NAL
ady. Farmers who last fall talked gloom
lily about spending their days in the poor
house are now planning to send their sons
TO Yale and to take European trips.
But all of this prosperity Is yet In the
future, and Nimrod Carver, who has been
represented as already rolling in luxury,
is still wearing his last winters suit, for
he hasn't received cent of cash yet, al
though he reckons that his profits from
his share of the gusher are about $50 a
day. CHARLES WARNER.
