The report published exclusively in
/ yesterdays Intelllgencer in regard to the
deal of the spragg OIL Company, by
which 1t VIII dispose'of territory in the
back part uf Tyler county, caused a
great deal of excitement both in this city
and Slstersyllla An investigation on
the part OF the Inteiiigencer elected the
information that the South Penn Oil
Company, strong branch of the Stand
ard. is the probable purchaser Of the ter
ritory mentioned, but the deal IS not yet
closed and hitch may break
off all negotiations that are now
in progress. The territory of the
Spragg on Company consists OF two
farms near COnoway, in Tyler county,
on both OF which 1t has drilled wells that
are producing quite a lot OF oil. The
farms are located about twelve miles
from SiStersville In northwesterly d.
Fecti0a and are believed 10 be situated IN
the best uptestcd territory in that part
OF the state. There Is quite lot Of work
being done In this territory at present
and in q very short tlme 1t is believed
that large Big lnjun pool Will be OPEN

Conservative oil men who are dc-
uualnted with the territory think the
price which IS reported 10 have been
paid for the leases little high consider
Ing the fact that so little work has been
done. bur II the fact Is taken into con-
slderation that the territory is the most

The war which, without formal dec
laration, has 'broken out" between
Turkey and Greece may be the begin
ming Of the end OF Imperialism in
Europe. The little Hellenic monarchy
is almost sure to emerge from the con-
fiict without a king, and II other ma
tions are drawn in, as it seems they in
evitably must be, another throne or
two will topple
Germany, which has constitution
and universal suffrage, is ruled by a
bigoted young war lord, who coz
siders himself the state. And yet the
social-democratic element in his en-
pire is so strong that II constitutes a
a separate and a powerful organizs-
tion; and every socialistic dreamer
looks TO the overthrow OF those who
claim to rule by divine right. Austria
Hungary is divided against itself, the
Hungarian kingdom as whole oppos-
] ing the royal house Of The Hapsburgs.
A general war would almost surely
sever the country, and out of it might
be evolved the republic OF Hungary.

Capital OF Guthrie, the organ which
about year ago insulted the dis
tinguished members of the Republican
national central committee from Kan

Tom Reed and help his proteRe, DENNIS
Flynn, is still presuming on the ignor-
ance OF its readers by trying to make
them believe that the bills, measures

alive in the 5Sth. Some time ago il

gall TO claim that the homestead ex
