Suicide.

A Young man by the name OF
Milburn, who has been working for
some time in the Pine Fork Oil
field committed suicide last Sunday
by hanging himself in an oil der
rick. He had been hanging for
fifteen OF sixteen hours before he
was discovered. He was taken
down and was brought here by I'm
dertaker Standiford, and shipped
Tuesday evening to his home near
Kittaning, Pa. Milburn was about
30 years old and single. His feat
ures were horribly distorted wher
found. The cause of his rash
act is unknown, but he is supposed
to have been crazed by drink

For morning awaits behind the hills.

In them all pain and gladness meet.

And sweet and clear the music rang.
He was the dreams interpreter,
And yet he knew not what he sang.

to extraordinary depressing influences,
such as exhaustion, etc. Several substl'
tutes for quinine have been used by the
Cuban army with little effectiveness.
The best is probably decoction OF COT
fee and lemon. The excessive use Of al
cohol is especially deleterious in the
tropics. Diluted wines with meats are
generally used with advantage. In the
treatment of the later stages Of yellow
fever effervescing drinks are useful, but
cannot be prescribed IN the large doses
employed i'll typhoid fever and pneumo-
MIA.
81 would especially recommend CO.
coanut water when the nut is green,
sugar cane from November to April,
sugar apple in August and December,
oranges during the winter months and
the mango in June and July. The latter
fruit should be especially avoided when
tits green or overripe. Mammey apples
may be used in May and August, bana-
mas all the year round and pineapples
in November and December, but they
should be eaten sparingly. Alligator
pears may be used in July and August,
but should be eaten with the meats and
not to excess Tamarind and ripe guava
the latter most abundant from June to
November-are laxative. The vegeta-
bles of the country-yams, yucca, mala-
maya and sweet potatoes-should be
thoroughly cooked. Rice and plantains
properly cooked are favorite dishes with
the natives They are nourishing and
easily digested. recommend that the
method of preparation be learned from
the natives.
"Spring waters in Cuba are unusual

and probably also malaria, dysentery
and some of the parasitic diseases are
transmitted in drinking water. Unless
the water be obtained directly from the

REFINED AND PRODUCTS.

While there has been little de-
mand for refined in barrels for ex-
port the requirements for tank
shipment have been large, and the
total engagements have been con-
siderably in excess of 100000 bar
rels. The stocks abroad are about
an average and the movement may
therefore be expected to vary with
the position of The tank fleet, with
that regularly occupied. The price
barreled oil was advanced OH Fri
day to 6.25 cents for New York

Unfurled her standard to the air,

And set the stars Of glory there.

She called her eagle bearer down
And gave into his mighty hand

PETROLEUM MARKET.
Friday evening. July I. 1858.


Reports from the producing fields
have not been of character to en-
courage the operators, either to en-
deavor to establish extensions of
fields or pools or to fud new
sources, the results of operations of
late having been either very small
wells or dry holes, the proportion
of the latter being unusually large.
The advance in price, however, has
tended to stimulate development
operations, and if results improve
field work will be prosecuted with
vigor during the remainder of the
summer. The operators are now
looking confidently for the reap
pearance of talismanic dollar mark,
which to the producer is synony-
nous with prosperity. The pro-
duction has fallen off of late, the
new wells being brought in proving
insufficient to make good the de.
cline in the production of the older
wells. In the Ohio and Indiana
fields work has been greatly stimu.
lated by the advance in price of the
product, and we may look for con-
siderable increase In the production
Of those states. The advance made
by the purchasing agencies has
stimulated interest on the ex-
changes, but the transactions have
not been imUortant.

The sign of hope and triumph, high!

And the long line comes cleaning on,
Ere yet the lifeblood warm and wet

To where thy sky born glories burn
And, as his sprinsing steps advance,
Catch war and vengeance from the

WEDNESDAY JULY 6, 1898,

The oldest oil operator can
scarcely recall a midsummer when
production was declining as It'll at
the present time. The operations
for June developed the fact that
the average of the wells completed
was much smaller than those OF the
preceding month. The new wells
completed have failed to maintain
the average daily production OF the
field of Pennsylvania and West Vir-
ginia by from 1900 to 200 barrels
per day. The Review has made the
statement that to maintain a pro-
duction of S., 600 barrels per dayr e.
ouires over - 900 barrels of new
production each month. The month
of June failed in the amount of
new production required by over
1000 barrels. Producers are rapidly
becoming educated to conditions
which govern the price for their
commodity, and have also discov'
cred that they have been large losers
in attempting to produce OIL at
the manipulated low prices which
the Standard have forced upon
them during the past year. Futile
attempt to sustain their individual
position as producers has taught
them that 10 drill for oil for the
mere privilege of making it pres
ent to the Standard Oil company
by running it into their pipe lines
and receiving a price for it made
quate to compensate them for their
first investment, will surely result
in forcing them to retire from the
business. Higher prices may in
crease drilling operations to some
extent but with the territory now
in sight and requiring 10000 bar
rels of new monthly production to
maintain the old very slight in
crease may be expected.
The erection Of iron tankage for
storing their own oil aud the con-
sequent depletion OF the stocks in
the custody Of the Standard can
have but the effect of better prices.
The tankage and storage propo-
sition is worthy the consideration
of all independent producers, as is
also the establishing of their own
selling agencies so that they will
not be entirely at the mercy OF the
Standards one oil buyer, who when
the market was arbitrarily held at
hs cents, month aftersmonth to the
ruin of many producers, and who
published the statement that "other
markets were paying more than he
could afford q to pay" and this
statement written and published at
a time when refined oils in home
markets was selling at prices core
spending to more than one dollar
per barrel for crude oil and even
the export products selling at
the above official g quotation.

the tendency is for club women to drop

"The British soldier committed no
