MONTPELIER, Ind, Sept. 9.--Frank

the Alexander farm, north from Dundee,
has been completed and is making a show

hole. 1t pumped at the rate of twenty bar
rels an hour. The Manhattan Oil Company
has apparently pulled out of the territory
around Hartford City. The Indianapolis
Oil Company has reshot its No. on the
William Cole farm, near Dundee, with l60
quarts, and when the go-deVil was let down
it failed to explode the shot. The we'll has
so far proven a good one, and the shot
should more than double the output of the
we'll. Ten miles of pipe line has already

returned from the new field at Peru, where
they succeeded in getting one small lease
They are favorably impressed with the out
look of the field Mr.. Welton thinks 1t more
promising than the Alexandria pool, while
Mr.. Edwards thinks 1t as good. They put
the production of the new We'll at loo bar

a month ago shows no decline in its pro-
duction, and they claim the grade OF oil
superior to any yet found in the State.
There are at present about a dozen wells
in that field and leases are hard to get
wealthy and have from $50 to 800 acres
apiece, and are holding their property with
a view of drilling it themselves and enjoy
the profits. The Ohio and Indiana Pipe
Line Company is taking the oil at an ad-
vance of a cent over the price paid by the
Standard.

to push her way feebly through the crowd.
She was evidently very old, and her white
hair and wrinkles showed that she must

She carried in her hand a bunch of flowers
that she must have picked herself. The sun
had withered them, and even if fresh you
might have bought them all for 10 cents.
When she found that she couldn't get in
she turned to a man in the crowd who
knew her and begged him to get in and put
the flowers on Mrs. Drew'S coffin. He did
so and the poor old womans little tribute

ELWOOD, Ind, Sept. 9-The trouble at
the tin-plate factory has spread to such an
extent that the entire plant closed tonight,
pending an adjustment of the strike diff
culties. The company brought one hundred
men in to-day from Montpelier and Logans-
port, but they would not work when they
learned there was a strike. The openers
went out this afternoon and the other de-
partments were forced to close. President
Gompers will be here tomorrow.
An open rupture occurred tonight at the
window-glass conference, and the f1atteners
and cutters announced their withdrawal
from the national association. They have
also declared strike on here and are warm
ing cutters and f1atteners to stay away from
Elwood.
The strike has been very orderly and
the authorities have had no trouble.
The hot mills are still in operation and the
employees thus far have shown no sympathy
for the strikers. The company remains
firm in it's attitude and says other men will
be secured The strikers have had notices
published far and near warning workmen
to stay away. Only two of the men who
" alked out have returned to work, and they
have been unmolested, although urged to
hold out. The outcome of the strike is I'M
certain.
The blowers and s. therers started to
work at the Ewood '. ndow glass factory
this morning, but as been feared the
cutters and tiatteners refused to abide by
President Burnss arrangement and served
notice that they would not work until the
unjust discrimination against them was
moved. When Burns was here, ten days
ago. and arranged an Independent wage
schedule with the window glass company
the cutters and fiatteners served notice then
that the arrangement was not satisfactory
to them. Burns assured the company that
If the cutters and fatteners refused to work
he would supply them with men who would
work. Whether he will be able to do this
or not remains to be seen, as the cutters
and fiattenerS are we'll organized over the
country, and have officers of their own.
President Cake, of the Flatteners' Union,
and Speeman, of the cutters organization,
arrived in Elwood this afternoon from
Pittsburg. The cutters and fiatteners claim
that the Burns resolution Disseminated
against them and caused all the trouble,
and that an increase is necessary before
they will resume work President Burns
will arrive tonight and a conference will
be held to see if a settlement cannot be
reached. The Elwood plant is the first one
to start, and a test case will be made here.
