September Oil Figures.

The month of August closed with
the work in the oil fields showing a
little increase, yet the number of new
wells completed and the new produc-
tion available from them are not suffi-
cient to sustain the supply Of oil at the
present rate of consumption, But we
are now about entering the winter
months when the nights are long and
when lights are necessary. Winter is
not a favorable season of the year to
operate in the iield, With the con-
sumption increasing and the field
work hampered by bad roads and cold
weather, the pipe line reports are in
teresting. For August the consump-
ton Of petroleum exceeded the produc-
tion in both the Pennsylvania and
Ohio fields. Lima oil in stock has de-
clined 764,72S barrels, Pennsylvania de-
clining during the month 71,455 bar
rels. The enormous drain upon Penn
sylvania OIL which threatened to ex-
haust the surplus stocks completely
and in a brief period, has been stayed
only by such a draft upon the Lima
stocks as to deplete them seriously.
1896 and 1897 the stocks Of oil in Ohio
and Pennsylvania territory are less
today than two years ago, the Lima oil
having been reduced fully 30 per cent.
The production Of Pennsylvania oil
this year so far is more than 5000 bar
rels daily behind that Of last year.
The production of Lima oil has been
materially less this year than last.
The export demand is growing in spite
of the foreign competition, and al
though the price is not keeping up for
export trade the oil is taken, never
theless. If trade conditions are any
indication the oil man has grounds to
look for dollar oil or better in his
Christmas stocking.-Pitts. Times

To Concentrate Army in Four
Camps.

Gradual reductions will be made in
the army until the number of men in
the field will be reduced to about 1885,
900 men, and they will be concentrat-
ed at the regular army posts, which
will be established at Jacksonville,
Fla, Middletown, Pa, Admission, Ala,
and Lexington, Ky. The number of
army corps will be reduced to four and
the troops will be concentrated at
these four points,to be gotten in shape
for garrison duty in Cuba and Porto
Rico
The army Of occupation will be COM
posed of about 10000 regulars and 65,-
900 volunteers. President Mckinley
believes at least 10000 troops will be
required in Cuba, about $4,000 in the
Philippines and $4,000 in Porto Rico.
1t is not expected that the army Of oc-
cupation will be sent to Cuba until
late in the fall. when the men will
stand chance of escaping the bad eff
fects of the treacherous climate, unless
the action of Blanco in refusing to
permit Clara Barton to land supplies
| for the starving should hasten both
the departure of the Spanish soldiers
from Cuba and the consequent hurry
! ing of the American troops to the ISL
and.-Washington Dispatch.

Great Success that it Was
Friday, the closing day Of the Wash
ington County Fair, was not unlike
the days preceding it. 1t was a grand
success in every sense of theword and
showed that the management had
reaped from the fields which they had
sown and gave the people Fair long
to be remembered and one that would
do themselves credit and place ac-
counts on the good side Of the ledger.
To much cannot be said of President
Flanders and Secretary Bohl. They
have given their entire time to the in
terests of the Association and thefruits
of their labor is, as all know, nothing
but success.
Every detail of the Fair was car
ried out to the letter and everything
done, that was possible for the enjoy
ment of the guests.
Each and every pen and stall was
occupied with exhibits of live stock
| which did credit to the farmers of
| Washington county and many were
the points on stock raising that were
shown and much good was obtained
| by comparing notes and seeing how
others raised stock.
Floral Hall, on Friday, was also
packed with people eager to see the
displays of the merchants.
The Midway was also well patro-
nized and the amusements enjoyed by
ALL
The Band, as it did every day of the
Fair, rendered, under the direction Of
Prof. Hibbins, an excellent pro-
gramme and every number was played
in the usual manner, known by all,
good.
Prof w. 2. Love again made sue
cessful parachute leap from the clouds
and touched Terra Firma again, near
the grounds in plain view of all.
The races were as good, if not better
than those Of the previous days and
were exciting from start to finish.
The driver Of Bright Belle collided
with the sulky of another horse and
the wheel of his bike" was crushed to
the ground. He succeeded in stop
ping the horse, however, without SER
ious injury. The horses legs were
scratched some but will not hurt his
entering races.

A Story that About Settles t
Sampson Sch|ey Case.

Ex-Goy. Proctor Knott and dis
tinguished professional gentleman Of
Danyille were discussing the claims of
Sampson and Schley to the credit eff
smashing Cervera at Santiago, tays the
Louisville Commercial, The profes- =
all the honor Of that memora bic con-
fict belonged to Admiral Sampson,
and was inclined to ignore entirely
Commander Schley's part in the affair.
Tie governor listened until his com
panion had finished and then with
that characteristic twinkle in his eye
said:
My dear sir, it is exceedingly graft
flying to me to hear you take the posi-
tion you have in this matter. 1t is like
balm to my conscience and settles
the point thet has worried me many a
day.
II was walking through the woods
with boy friend of mine when we
saw rabbit run into sink hole.
We stood around the hole awhile then
told the boy to keep watch, while
went to get some fire to smoke the rab-
bit out. When l returned the boy had
the rabbit. l promptly took it away
from him, claiming that it belonged to
me, because told him to catch him if
he came out.
That was over SO years ago. and
you are the first man who has ever
agreed with me that the rabbit was
mine, feel now that was right in
taxing it and my conscience is at rest"
The gentleman looked solemn for few
moments, and then smiled feeble
smile and changed the subjec'.

Americanism in the Isle of Man,

There were bicycle riders in line and a

white and blue-and from the handle

a carnival OF small crimes, conspicuous
among which is house breaking. There
seems usually 10 be an unhappy coin
cidence between the closing of the term
of chief OF police and an outbreak of
crime i'm these parts. We remember
how just three years ago the esteemed
Journal was waging hot campaign
against chief OF Police child, and the
same hurry OF small crime gave that
amusing and amaging newspaper a fine
aged the police department with extra
ordinary efficiency Tor many successive
years. Chief child was overthrow in
the following January. and Capt. Baker
was fortunate I'm his predecessors mis-
fortune i'm that he was elected Chief.
Now. Chief Bakers term is drawing TO
a close. The election of his successor is
impending. And the fates decree that
the small criminals about town are
playing fast and loose with his record
in Office just at "a critical time when
they ought 10 keep dark and behave
themselves. The News trust that IL is
above the meanness of making capital
out OF this business to oppose Chief of
Police Baker But we cannot omit call
ing attention 10 the interesting coin
cidence. And we note. also, that now
the boot is on the other leg, now that
the horse is OF another color, the anus
ing and amazing Journal, with it's
laughable boastings OF independence
and impartiality, reports the daily
crimes dscreetly, as faithful news
paper should. but doesn't criticise or
condemn the Chief of Police because
they happen or because the criminals
go uncaught. Which seems lucky for
Chief Baker.

'TWlxT YOU AND ME-.

Steve tells me story that, as |
! understand II. somebody told him that
somebody else heard it just as it is
| told.
1t seems "A good soul with spectacles
and a letter 10 mail sought the general
post office-not the $2,OO0,0OO one that
we are going to get. but the plain.
everyday Tomb just above The News
office
Once inside she inquired the way to
the place where she could mail the let
ter and divers persons hurriediy passed
her along until she could go no farther
and was confronted with the slot in the
wall.
She pushed the letter into the slot
with trembling fingers and finally, with
evident reluctance. let IL go.
The quickness Of it's disappearance
startled her. She looked suspiciously
at the slot where but an instant before
she had seen her letter, and then rising
on tip toe she peeped through 1t. Say"
she called into the slot much as you'd
speak down the funnel Of a phono-
graph.
There was no answer. Postmaster
Hayward's boys inside were UP to their
necks i'm Christmas mail.

growing anxiety. "Wil that letter go

solute, and then turning about she
started for the door, murmuring dis
consolately: II never did see such
place. You can't get anybody TO give
you any information obout anything"
Speaking of the post Office, | am re-
minded of the big white reflector of the
big incandescent light that is suspended
right over the place where the special
Christmas weigher has his station
right over the heads of the hundreds
of folk crowding about to get their
Christmas packages weighed
The shade has been broken almost
In half. Not quite i'm half. else IL would
have dropped down long ago.
As 1t is, IL hangs not unlike a sword
of Damocles, rakishly tilted. OF
course, it IL i'm no danger of falling. 1t
only looks so.
Il suppose IL would require the un-
winding OF a lot of red tape to get a
new reflector for the post office, and
probably the broken off piece Is being
treasured for forwarding to Washing
ton as evidence that the reflector is
broken
Another thing about the post office
lobby that doesn't strike me as pretty
is the Thermometer. The instrument
was evidently given TO Uncle Sam, and
in lieu of payment il bears the name OF
the donor-a salt factory. The salt fac
tory thus gets an advertising position
that "A good many business concerns
would cheerfully pay high price for.
Seems To me Uncle Sam could afford
to pay for thermometer
