Decorative Burlaps.

The growing use Of burlaps in wall
IL eatment proves their desirability. Dec
orators have found that they are Cspe-
cially useful in old rooms, where crack
ed, unsightly walls or uneven partitions
are to be covered Some manufacturers
put out the material with specially
prepared back, which takes paste or pa
per hangers glue readily and goes on
with case and smoothness. 1t has been
urged that the material is not clearly,
but it is quite as easily taken care of as
paper or even painted walls. In lieu Of
the dry cloth or wet sponge which
these demand burlap needs brush,
and it can be as thoroughly rid of dust
as piece of cheesecloth. Now that it
is manufactured in many varieties, soft
plain tints, baronial designs and tapes
try patterns, its use should largely i'll.

American people:
To the people of the United States
of America:
At this time when the yet fresh
remembrance of the unprecedented
success which attended the opera
tons of the United States fleet in
the bay of Manila, on the first of
May last, are added the tidings Of
the no less glorious achievements
of the naval and military arms OF
our beloved country, at Santiago
de Cuba, it is fitting that we should
pause, and, staying the feeling ex
ultation that too naturally attends
great deeds wrought by our coun-
trymen in our country's cause,
should reverently bow before the
throne of divine grace and give
devout praise to God, who holds
the nations in the hollow of His
hand. and who worketh upon them
the marvels OF His high will, and
who has thus far vouchsafed to us
the light of His face, and led our
brave soldiers and seamen to
victory.
l therefore ask the people of TIE
United States upon next assem-
bling for divine worship in their
respective places of meeting to offer
thanksgiving to Almighty God.

leading our hosts upon the waters
to unscathed triumph, now guiding
them in strange land through the
dread shadows of death to success,
even though at a fearful cost, now
bearing them without accident or
loss to far distant chimes. has
watched our cause and brought
nearer the success of the right and
the attainment of just and honor

With the nations thanks let
there be mingled the nations pray
ers that Our gallant sous may be
shielded from harm, alike on the
battlefield and in the clash of fleets
and be spared the scourge of suffer.

ing to uphold their nations honor;
and withal let the nations heart be
be stilled with holy awe at the
thought of the noble men who
have persisted as heroes die and be
filled with compassionate sympathy
for ell those who suffer bereave-
ment or endure sickness and
wounds by reason of the awful
struggle. And, above all, let us
pray with earnest fervor that He,
the dispenser of all good, may
speedily remove from us the untold
Affections Of war, and bring to our
dear land the blessings of restored
peace, and to all the domain now
ravaged by cruel strife the priceless
boon of security and tranquility.

OIL NEWS.
From Wednesdays Daily


rorize the producer into selling his
credit balances. They are aware
of the situation and will hold for
dollar. News from the front does
not reveal anything new.
Captain ]. T. Jones is making
preparations to drill another well
on Middle Island creek. The loca-
ton has been made on the Gorrell
farm.
The Henry Oil company were
drilling in the sand this morning at
their No. Lloyd Gorrell in the
northeast extension of the Elk
Fork pool.
The we'll on Dry Run, Lacy farm
will be started this week. Holden
& Barnsdall should get the sand
this week at their No. 1 Flesher,
near Friendly.
Our correspondent writing from
Elk Fork says that The northeast
extension of that pool shows in
creased activity. Six wells are
drilling and several locations have
recently been made.
The Fisher Oil company are
down 1900 feet at their No. 1.
N. Hawkins. The Eastern Oil
company will be due tomorrow at
their No. S Margaret Gorrell.
The South Penn is ready for the
Ga casing at their No. Cum
ningham heirs.
Brown & Company have been
delayed at their No. John Duval
by a prolonged fishing job which
may necessitate the removal of the
rig.
In Washington county, O.. on
Elk run in the Berea sand territory
Cummings & Cox have shut down
at their No Mary Smith. This
we'll was due yesterday and the
shut down is a matter of consider
able speculation.
BENWOOD, OHIO:
Gas enginess have been placed at
S. P. Wood wells Nos. I and and
pumping was started about week
ago after lapse of several months,
during which time they lay in idle
ness. The Fisher company owns
this lease and also the Mrs. W. H.
Price farm which adjoins it. The
Wood wells were always small pro-
ducers, seldom gauging more than
80 barrels, and the company finally
abandoned them after they had run
down to or 3 barrels day. Mat
tiers ran on thus until short time
ago when Mr.. Wood made kick
about his production which was be-
ing usurped on the Price land by
wells near the line which were be-
ing pumped regularly. The new
arrangement was made and the wells
are now doing nearly if not quite as
well as they ever were.
Fishers have the rig up and are
ready to spud on the Clegg farm
near Hometown.
McDonald's Bonar we'll near
Round Bottom is drilling on the
second location, the rig having
been moved ON account of lost
tools.
Fishers Stephens No. I at Jack
sons ridge is drilling at 700 feet.
Their Dave Hamilton No I at
Jackson's ridge came in dry a
week ago. There was but a very
small showing of oil in the we'll.
The rig is being hauled out to
the R. P. Yaho we'll from w. F.
Wood No. 2, which they aban-
doned here short time ago.
Two more wells are being put
down out there, on the Hunter and
Joe Jackson farm On the ridge.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass
with urine and let it stand twenty
four hours; sediment or settling
indicates an unhealthy condition OF
the kidneys. When urine stains

convincing proof that the kidneys
and bladder are out of order.

so often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's

use of liquor, wine or beer, and over.

being compelled to get up many

effect of Swamp Root is soon real,

and their unscrupulous associates.
It will be remembered that just one
year ago these distinguished Off:
Gals made their regular tour of in
spection, aud in their official organ
of oil, published in Oil City, was a
description of their journey, laying
great stress on the agricultural
prosperity of the oil country, EVIL
dences of which were particularly
commented on by the distinguished
G) officials. No mention was made
of the oleaginous property of pro-
ducers. No mention was made
that the evidence of Agricultural
prosperity" was such as would in
fuence these distinguished y Off
Gals to reduce the price for crude
oil to IS cents per barrel and keep
it at that low level until nearly
every individual producer in the
whole oil country was nade bank
rupt. The producers now know
the purpose of the visits of these
distinguished (?( officials, and have
in measure, become educated to the
purposes of their INSCRIPTIONS
methods. Over six months of IS
cent oil when prices for refined
product in the markets of the
world justified at least one dol
lar per barrel for all the
Pennsylvania and West Virginia oil
produced, opened the eyes of the
producer to the fact that the "agri-
cultural prosperity" of the oil coun-
try was too much in evidence, and
that their occupation of producing
oil was of but of a secondary con-
sideration in the minds of the dis
tinguished G. officials.
agricultural prosperity and a
declining oil production has proven
the ruin of many an oil producer,
and these conditions coupled with
a long period of IS cent oil enabled
the Standard Oil company to abb
sorb their property holdings at
prices which were disastrously low.
Possibly, while journeying over the
barren hills and desolate valleys,
the officials may discover evidences
of change of Sentiment, as we'll as
evidences of the determination of
independent producers to free
themselves from the oppression of
their policy. Independent iron

out the entire length and breadth
of the oil country. The visiting
officials may indeed be distinguish
ed () but the deeds for which they
are distinguished are exceedingly
nauseating to the independent oil
producers. Their appearance in
their midst will be met by the pro

which their flching policy dis.
tinguishes them.
