GRANGE NEWS.

The regular meeting of Protective grange
was held Wednesday evening. The pro
gram opened with a song bv the choir
Mrs. Lucy Ieaw gave reading; the ques-
ton, what is our aim in life, or what are
we living for?' was then taken up. Mrs.
Hattie Taylor and Mrs. A. A. c. Ware
gave very interesting essays on the sub
Ject, showing that we are living too much
for self and our own qualification: are too
fond OF ourselves, never seeing any wrong
In our own acts or words, but too ready to
see and crticise in others. A murderer
we regard with horror, but how much
worse IS the one who, by unkind and
thoughtless remarks, breaks loving hearts
and causes lifelong suffering.
If wisdom's ways you wisely seek.
Five things observe with care;
VI Whom you speak, 10 whom you speak.
And, how, and when, and where
This qualification with desire for re-.
venge when one is even kindly advised by
friends to change his course of action
was well illustrated by the Sunday school
lesson for next Sunday, in the beheading
OF John the Baptist under such cruel cir
cumstances. We are living too much for
self and too little for the good of human
ity; not following closely enough in the
steps OF our divine master, but calmly
drifting, drifting with the tide. Excellent
remarks were made on the same question
by other members. Another question dis
cussed was the right use of the ballot box.
and many good points and new thoughts
were brought out by Messrs. Ware. Whit

peared in this city to-day, and
many of them agreed to shut off
their wells if no suits were filed. The
prosecutor, Deputy Attorney General
Moores and State Gas Inspector Leach, all
of whom are here, agreed to do this but
they did not in any way agree to remit
the fines, which amount to $50 for each day
the gas has been wasted, and in several
cases amount to 5000 and in at least twen-
ty-five cases amount to over $1,000 Every
cent will be collected, it is said. Citizens
coming to the front and putting their
names to the bonds which are necessary

wasting since last April or May and have
$4,000 or $4,000 fines accumulated on them,
are being closed tonight by injunction and
all of the rest will be plugged UP by to-

The oil men feel completely whipped,
though all insist that the Standard will
appeal the cases to the United States SUI

them from selling the county poor asylum
to satisfy judgment of $625 held by Mr..

out of the Jenkins defalcation case, in
which Mr.. Utz, who is prosecuting attor-
ney Of Floyd county, claims per cent for
obtaining a Judgment of $21, 600 against the
bondsmen. The case was taken to Floyd

In the Jefferson Circuit Court for the
