The Cause Of Much. Perhaps Most III
Haaith-How to Keep 1t Clear and Cir
culatinS.
There is one thing that is admitted by
everybody, that the blood must be kept
moving if the brain is to be clear and the
health good. No one ever questions this,
and yet how few people have good circu-
lation. Sometimes the pulse seems to be
running away. and again, it can hardly
be felt. This is all wrong. Any man or
woman who wishes health (and who does
noD must have an even and good circu-
lation of the blood
There is only one way by which this
can be accomplished, and that is by the
use of pure stimulant. Not an ordinary
one, but something pure, palatable and
reliable. Such. in the highest degree, is
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, and such it
has been proven to be Tor a score of
years. 1t is the most popular stimulant
in the world, and it owes its popularity
wholly to its merit. Care should be taken
to see that Duffy's and only Duffy,s is
used.
Insist upon having your druggist or
grocer give you what you ask for There
are all the health-giving qualities in Duf-
fy.s Pure Malt, and you will certainly find
it so upon trial.

TEXAS .BURNlNG ISLAND
Peculiar Spot Where objects Are Con-
sumed or Petri6ed

Sumed Or Petrthe0.
Fort Worth, Texas, December IA
peculiar island has been discovered in
the Neches rivera veritable bake
oven-which is the subject Of much
comment by the inhabitants of that
section of the State. Burning island"
is the name of a small spot in the CEN
ter of the Neches river, about four
miles from Emilee postoffice. 1t has
acquired that name in consequence of
it's transformation of all vegetable and
animal substances placed upon it into
either ashes or stone. A fisherman
who recently visited the spot, after eat
ing his MONDAY lunch, carelessly
threw down a bone. A few days after
he returned to the spot on the island
and was surprised to discover the bone
charred as if it had been burned by
fire. Pieces of wood placed on the ISL
and would be reduced to ashes Or petri-
fed in few days time.
The generally accepted version of the
cause of these rapid and strange trans
formations is the probable uprising at
that particular point of some powerful
mineral whose acid or alkali force has
the effect of consuming or petrifying
such substances as chance to come
within its touch. An examination by
mineralogists is soon to be made for
the purpose of determining the cause
of these wonderful transformations.

Michigan Man Turning TO Bone Despite

disease has left no impress upon his
mind or vocal organs. His mind is

For twelve years he was village
school teacher In other days Mr..
Watson was handsome fellow. In
health he weighed 165 pounds and was
perfectly built. One hundred pounds
Is all he weighs to-day.
His trouble dates back to 1881, when
he first noticed a lameness in his
right knee, and though he has sought
medical aid in several large cities and
tried various mineral springs, it has
all been in vain. He suffers no pain,
but his toes and fingers are drawn in
almost every conceivable shape, the
flesh white and resembling polished
marble. The only muscles that he can
move are the muscles of his face and
throat. 1t is impossible to insert
teaspoon in his mouth Some of his
teeth, too, have crumbled away and it
is a mystery how the man lives.

again about the South Penn Oil Com
pany's well On the, Meredith lease, cut
near Centreville, Tyler county. Some
parties who were out there the other
day have affirmed the statement which
has been published in the Register, to
the effect that the we'll was a good
one. These parties state that there
are four tanks at the we'll and that
gauger comes there every morning to
run the oil. One of the parties who
was at the well states that there are
two lead pipes running into the first
tank and that the Gil is flowing con-
stantly through. 1T is the general
opinion that this well is good for not
less than 400 barrels a day. -.
There are several wells drilling near
this we'll, and a couple of them should
be In the sand in a very short time.
The we'll of the Victor Oil Company
on the Armstrong Smith lease is pos>
sibly the nearest one to the sand, and
lit will be in the latter part of this
week or the first of next week, and will
show whether there is any truth Ill
the report in circulation that the South
Penn is trying to work game in order
to rope in some unsuspecting tender
feet
Cobb & Glenn have a fishing job at
their No. 1 on the Ayers lease, to
the south of Developments in the
southwest extension Of the Elk Fork
pool, and the well which was due in
the sand to-day will probably not get
in until some time the latter part of
the week. This we'll is an important
one, as it is 800 feet in advance and
is being watched very closely.
The Fishers we'll on the Henthorn,
drilled in few days ago, is still hold
ing up at about Is barrels an hour.
The Hill Oil Company has commence
ed drilling at it's Nos. and on the
j. K. Hill 100-acre lease, and the rig is
being built for No. 10 and it will be
started in very short time.
The Fisher Oil Company's No. on
the /. N. Hawkins, to the north of the
original development in the Elk Fork
field, has not yet been drilled in, as
was reported. The 6A casing was put
in yesterday, and the we'll will not be
in for a couple of days yet.
Ramey & Co. have located their No.
2 on the Schnell lease at Benwood, and
The rig is being built. 1t is likely the
well will be started drilling the earl,
part of next week.
The Garter Oil Company's big well,
drilled in few days ago On the Ed
wards lease, at Wilson Run, is still
holding UP at Is barrels an hour.
This we'll will be the cause of a great
deal of new work being started in that
section. The more conservative opera
tors are very leaTy Of this stuff, and

other case of Sheets run. There a good
we'll was drilled in some time ago, and
Ia lot of people rushed in, took up
leases and started to develop them
The first we'll drilled in was the only
one that amounted to anything, and
kthe operators think about the same of
the Wilson run stuff. There has been
a number Of dry holes drilled in to the
west and south OF the Edwards WELL
and while it may be that something
will be gotten to the north and east,
it is not at all good gamble.
