SERAGE, The Shoe Man.


The large new general store just
opened for business at the former
stand Of Laundon, Windecker & Co..
will begin new era of prosperity for
our town and its vicinity. The compe-
tition brought about by the reopening
of this place of business will not, we
believe, prove disadvantageous to bother
merchants of the town on the contrary
it will afford a better market for farm
and garden produce and thus induce
many outside people who now go else
where to find market for what they
have to sell, to come here to trade,
and very naturally other lice mer-
chants will reap reasonable share of
the benefit. In addition to this, the
increased business activity Of the place
will cause favorable comment among
strangers which may result in world
of good to us. Competition is indeed
the life of trade, and the more wehave
of it the better. Let our business men
work together in harmony for the best
interests of the town and they will be
much the gamers thereby.

To Drive Away Rats.

A writer in the Scientific American
says he has cleared his premises Of
vermin by making whitewash yellow
with copperas. and covering the stones
and rafters in the cellar with it. In
every crevice in which rat might go,
he put the copperas, and scattered it in
the corners of the floor. The result
was complete disappearance of rats
and mice. Since that time not a rat
or mouse has been seen near the
house. Every spring the cellar is
coated with the yellow wash as a pur-
ifier and rat exterminator, and no
typhoid, dysentery or fever attacks the
family -Ex.

LESSONS IN ECONOMY

they persist in violating rules of law
and order they should be forcibly re-
minded of the fact.
The warm weather has brought the
usual visitation of dirty, lazy and gen
orally theiving hobos, and considerable
complaint has already been made
against them. Some towns adopt
measures to rid themselves of the
tramp nuisance and the same could be
done in Wellington. Suppose our
marshall were instructed to arrest all
tramps appearing in town and put
them on stone pile. Such treatment
would soon teach them to steer wide of
our town.
We learn that Mr.. Chauncy Fowles,
an attache of the Big Four railroad at
this place, will soon begin the construct
ion of handsome and commodious
dwelling on the south end and west
side of Forest avenue, and nearly op-
posite the new house being erected by
Mr.. Address, also an employ of the
same road. Buildings going up
lend quite an air of activity and pros
perity to our town, and infuse new
blood into the veins of local commerce
We would like to see more of this work
going on.
We are told that in all probability
the macadamized road extending about
one mile westward from town into the
country, will be Enlightened by another
mile this year. This road is wonder
full improvement over what it formerly
was and makes it real pleasure fol
farmers living that way to drive into
town quite often. We would like tc
see every road leading into town i'm
proved in this manner to a distance OF
at least five miles out Such an i'm
provement in our country roads would
boom our town more than any thing
else we can imagine.
An industry that would prove o
great advantage to the business inter
ests of Wellington, would be canning
factory. The canning business is gen
orally paying one to the individual o
company owning it, and, more thai
this it gives employment to a numbe
of people, and puts more money circu
lating through the business channel
of the town. Besides all this, such
market as business of this kline
would create, could handle all tn
J garden produce raised within miles o
the town and would place ready casl
, in the hands of the farmers to be eX
pended among our merchants.

Numerous complaints have been
made by citizens in different parts Of
town against bicyclists riding on the
sidewalk. There are so many wheels
in town, and very often too enthusias-
tic riders clip a pretty fast gait; and
there is danger both to the rider and
the one n foot.
There is an ordinance against using
the walk when the roads are available
and our marshall should see that rider:
use discretion when riding on the
walks.

TuE waste or NATURAL GAS.
A Controversy OF Great Importance TO the State
Now Going On In Indiana.

Indianapolis. Dec. ll.-The waste of natural
gas in the oil fields of northern Indiana has be-
come n serious question. The gravity of the
situation is made more apparent daily by the
rapidly decreasing pressure. The waste arises
from the fact that when oil producers sink new
wells they allow the natural gas to blow off be.
fore beginning TO pump mp the oil. Indiana has
passcd.a law forbldiing this practice. but the oil
producers do not pretend TO observe it. An
effort is being made TO have a session Of the
Legislature called to deal with the situation.
Meanwhile the gas is being wasted AT the csti.
mated rate of II, 900, 900 cubic feet every TWEEN.
ty-four hours. and tho effect OF the drain on the
supply is made plain by the fact that the rock
pressure throughout the Indiana gas field has
been reduced from 30 pounds to 20 pounds
since the first Of tho year. The original pressure
when the field was new in 1856 was $50 pounds
nj the well, mal.ing the decrease in ten years
only 300 pounds, as against n decrease of 40
pounds during the last year. In the Madison
county field alone the rock pressure has been
reduced 80 pounds and is rapidly weakening.
There have been about 1000 gas wells sunk in
Indiana, Of which :, 200 arc now active. produc.
ing I,i0n, oo0, 900 cubic feet daily. In tho Aludi.
son county district there have been ~ wells
ana have been closed. The remaining 80 pIO-
ducc gas and. oil. aud ~ OF them are wide open
the open air. The average pressure at the gas
wells now is from 40 TO ZOO pounds. and when
the pressure is reduced to 40 pounds only the
best OF machinery will keen down salt water.
The oil men Insist that they have the right
to produce oil, even though another OF natures
products is rIpcnG"! IN the process. IL means
millions of dollars 10 tllcIn. and they are backed
by the STANDARD Oh Company. On the other
hand. the result uf the controversy Involves tho
making or the H%laTTinF of many northern In.
diana cities which are dependent on the cheap
fuel for their rNi-t nee. The larger towns OF
this section Of thu state have sprung up ,incc the
production OF natural gas, owing TO the great
manufacturing interests which located in the
cheap fuc! belt. Ana the ihdivid uHl consumers
OF natural "as are no less Interested than the
mOneyrd Interests.
The original oil lands lie in BlaGkford county,
in the northeastern portion of the state, and
very little gar Is found there. The main gas
field il in Madison county, which lies to the
southwest OF Blackford. There the oil and gas
are found together in many Instance, 200 or 800
barrel, OF oil and several million feet Of gas pour
ing from the came pipe in a single day. Each
is. or great value, and courts must decide
whether or not the one may be wasted while the
other il being produced. The last estimate
made by the State Of the value OF gas produced
within her borders for one year Vas in 1895,
when 1t was placed at ~Sl0.b0O,OOO.

Of California, landing there in June. 1896
While prospecting the trio were ambushed by a
body o. Seri Indians, and Perez was killed.
Pettitt and Bruncr were imprisoned In sepa.

Bruner HAD furnished their CaptOrs n repast.

Shaker Indians.
From the Morning Ore0onfan.

y" ~" -""T"F"V -V"FH-
John Slocum. the Shaker Indian, died at his
Mud Bay camp Tuesday.
Slocum became famous about five years ago
by passing 10 heaven through the avenue OF a
trance, where he remained several days before
returning to this mundane sphere. On his re-
turn he pictured heaven in glowing terms to his
associates. declaring that lots OF Indians are
there, and that each has a horse and plenty OF
salmon. Every Indian at Mud and Oyster bays
became his followers, and for the remaining
years OF his life he welded a marked Influence
upon his disciples.
Conscious OF approaching death, he cast his
mantle OF leadership upon Dick Jackson, another
Indian OF the Mud Bay settlement. thus provid-
ing for the perpetuation OF the Shaker religion.
