THE AUTHOR OF DIXIE"
A Claim that Dan Emmett Produced
Both Words and Music.
the Editor of the indianapolis journal:

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journals
The composer of Dixie was Dan En-
NETT, who was one of the four members of
the first minstrel company, and who is still
living. Emmett was a member of a COM
pany giving a variety performance in New
York city. One Saturday night, after the
performance, the manager told him he de-
sired ''rollicking walk around" to be
sung the following week, and he wanted it
for rehearsal on Monday morning. The song
was written on Sunday by Emmett, and
was Dixie" The tune came to him as he
was walking from the theater on Saturday.
The song was sung on Monday evening and
it at once jumped into an astounding popu-
larity. The song is to-day the same as
written and sung the first time, as it has
never been changed or revised in the least.
Soon after this Emmett and three other
members of the same company made a tour
of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in a
new style of entertainment, now known as
minstrelsy, and these four were the orig
inators and pioneers of minstrelsy. The
tour was a financial failure, but the idea
was seized and minstrel troupes were
started out. Emmett was for many years
one of the most prominent of minstrel men.
When his days of work were over he went
to Mount Vernon, o.. and tried to make
living on a poultry farm. He was not a
success, and for many years lived in pow
erty and at times in great want. He neg
lected to protect his rights in Dixie and
never received q penny from the song
Three years ago he made a tour of the
country with Al G.. Fields minstrel COM
pany, merely appearing while Dixie" was
sung by the members of the company. The
ovations he received in the South We're
never excelled by any others given to a
private citizen. The sum he received from
this tour amply sufficient to keep him
in great comfort the rest of his life, and
when his contract expired he went back TO
Mount Vernon, where he is now living.
very old and feeble. Mr.. Emmett is a white
man. He was more surprised than any one
at ''Dixie's'' popularity and its adoption by
the South, as he wrote it hastily and only
expecting it TO live one week to be used to
fill in. X.

OIL OUTPUT INCREASING
SEPTEMBER RECORD OF OPERA
TfoNs IN THE INDIANA FIELD.
More work Done in BInc<ford County
Pleased with Prospects.


Special to the indianapolis journal.
MONTPELIER, Ind. Oct Prosperity
is rapidly coming to the Indiana oil field,
and the oil men in general are very enthu-
siastic over the present prospects. and.
should the price advance few cents during
the fall months, there will be all kinds Of
hustling for territory. During the month of
September there were total of 116 wells
completed. of which 81 were dry holes or
gas wells, the IS showing a daily output,
combined of 2,245 barrels, or an average of
26 III barrels. This is an increase over the
August report of Is in completed wells. IL
in new production. Blackford county takes
the lead from Wells this month by a small
margin, due to the activity IN Washington
township. where some extra large wells
have been completed. Grant county is more
active than it has been for some time. Very
few dry holes have been drilled in, and the
wells usually start from 80 to 80 barrels,
and sometimes as high as $50 barrels. In
the Peru pool there is practically nothing
doing, and the same can be said of the Al
exandria field and the new field at Broad
Ripple. Delaware county has a little work
under way and the future wells will settle
the prospects of that end of the field. Mad
iSOn county Will be more or less active,
owing to the large number of gas wells be-
ing drilled. Wabash county, although young
in the production of crude oil, may yet de-
velop into very prominent field. In new
work under way in the State there are Ill
wells drilling and 66 rigs up and ready for
the drill. The following is a summary Of
the months of August and September:
