After speaking Of the ceremonies attendant upon the celebration of Little Rock Day. at the State Fair, the Arkansas Democrat of the 2T6h sums LID as follows
 Tue unanimous verdict is that &hough there is not much of a dis play at the Fair, what there is IS uery good indeed, and Pine Bluff can well be proud of herself. To Mr '. w. Adams, editor of the Daily e5rapnic, belongs much of the credit far this Fair, for he worked day and night for some months inits interest He was the originator of tbe idea of having a Little Rock Day, tn1 though he was scoffed at by the others and at first stood almost .1t0ae in his plans, yesterdays at tendance justified his idea, besides proving that Little Rock can reciD- woeate favors rendered by her sister cities. No longer can Pine Bluff say We attend everything Little Rock has but they never once come ao anything we have" At all times Shat Pine Bluff puts forth any at traction that is deserving Little Rock will respond to her call and help in every way possible.
 In this connection it is proper to say that most of the credit for the gtorous success of Little Rock Day" is due the Arkansas Democrat, ahe Arkansas Gazette aod President Morris N. Gohn and Secretary J. M. Hardness, of the Little Rock Board of Trade.
 Certain itis that all Pine Blufians appreciate the interest of the Little RocSians in our State Fair, and in sue future, as in the past, are ready Go respond to all of Little Rock S deserving efforts.

HOW he CHECKED IT.
This Baggagemaster Had an
Experience That Will In
terest Sistersville
Readers.

When residents OF Sistersville re-
ceive the little piece OF numbered
brass from the baggagemaster at
the depot, it is deposited some
where on their person, and they
walk off as contented as a child
with a new toy. Every confidence
is reposed in the judgment of the
checker, and if the article does
stray he is the last one blamed
the railroad lost it sure. The trav-
cling public Of Bridgeport, Ohio
repose the same confidence in the
Judgment of ]. A. McHugh, bag
gagemaster at the c. & P. railroad
station, and as he is known far
and wide as a thoroughly reliable
employee and has held his position
for a number of years what he says
on the following subject can be re-
lied upon.
I'm following my work as bag.
gagemaster at the c. & P. railroad
station, a position 1 have filled for
the past nine years, I frequently
have some heavy lifting to do in
handling the large trunks, and it is
to that over.taxation that | astrlb-
ute the trouble l have had the last
few years with my kidneys. There
was an annoying and distressing
urinary weakness with sediment.
I could not sleep at night unless my
back was propped up just so with
pillows. l seemed entirely devoid
of energy and was generally used
up. I got Doan's Kidney Pills for
G. Chandler, baggageman on the
mail train, and as they did him so
much good l thought l would try
them and l got a box at drug
store for myself. Mrs. McHugh
took some at the same time, she
being troubled the same as | was.
The result was more than / eX-
pected. The preparation gave re-
lief right away and in a short time
entirely relieved us. In apprecia-
ton of the good Doan's Kidney
Pills, have done us, we are glad to
testify to their virtue"

THE OIL MARKET.
From Saturdays Daily.

Inc Oll City DerIlCR mOululy
copyrighted report is out and shows
that 3II wells were completed in
July but the new production of the
month was nearly I,4oo barrels a
day less than it was in May.
AS usual, all the wells in this
county are credited to Warrington.
If an oil man who is not acquainted
with the Derrick's report wanted
to visit the oil field in this county,
where the Hickman Oil company
is operating he would see that this
pool is in Warrington. After he
reached Warrington he would find
out that he would have a ride of
over $50 miles to yeach the place he
started for. So on with Elk Fork
and all the pools of Importance in
the State. These wells are in
Tyler county, but credited to Man
nington by the Derrick.
In our own field, according to
this reliable report, Capt. J. T.
Jones is drilling a we'll on the "Paw"
farm. Just where this farm is To-
Gated is not known, but we are
very sure it is not in this state nor
in Ohio.
Again, it tells us Harry 1hrig is
drilling at depth of 1900 feet on
his Weigle No. 4. Harry just drill
ed in a day or two ago a 25-barrel
well on his Allen lease, but the
other one is not known to him.
But we do not care to take up
any more space with this old ridic-
ulous. played-out way of reporting
oil news. 1t is not news. We have
told our readers days and days ago
there were no new pools being
opened, that this county as it has
always done was in the lead, and
that the production was falling off
at great rate. And so it is. There
is no prospect of a pool anywhere
outside of our county. Oil is bound
to 60 up. 1t is going up with
boom when it does go. The pro-
ducers will soon be masters, and
the thing for them to DO now is to
hold on to their oil, drill as little
as possible and then in short time
they will be masters of the situation,
but they will not hold on, we fear.
If they do, they can win big stakes;
if not, the Standard will bleed them
as usual.
The market remaining station
airy for the past few days does not
indicate that it is not going higher.
As we said a few days ago, condi-
tions are ripe for SIPS oil. This
price will allow successful competi-
ton with foreign oil and will also
justify the producers to re-enter the
business who were forced out by
low prices. The best season of the
year is past; with late summer will
come scarcity of water which will
retard operations, and with early
fall and winter a big obstacle to
be overcome will be the bad roads.
There will be no increase in stocks
and the big drain will and must
cause a shortage.
When oil reached s.. 90 about 4
years ago conditions were not near
ly so favorable.
Pools OF unknown quantities
were known to exist and a man
could drill with some degree of sat
isfaction in knowing where he was
drilling. There was Dog Skin,
Middle Island and Indian creeks
as we'll as the several extensions of
the Sistersville pool. They have
all been drilled. There is nothing
in sight and the southwest field to
day presents no place or spot where
an operator may drill with any as
surance of getting the coveted fluid.
