a startling incident, of which
John Oliver, of Philadelphia, was
the subject, is narrated by him as
follows: 81 was in a most dreadful
condition. My skin was almost vel

weaker day by day. Three physi.

surprise the first bottle made a
decided imsrovement. continued
their use for three weeks, and am

my life and robbed the grave of an
other victim" No one should fail
to try them. Only 80 cents per bot

Not His Fault.

Some people who are kicking
against the advance in postofice
box rents are accusing Postmaster
Work of having raised the rents.
This is entirely wrong. Mr.. Work
has no more to do with it than any
one else. The governments spe.
cifc orders are being obeyed by
Mr.. Work and that is all. The pub,
lie will remember chat the postoffce
here was declared a second class
Office on July Ist, and that is the
cause of the advance in box rent.

OIL NOTES.
THE OIL MARKET.
From Saturdays Daily.

1t would now seem that a Beret
pool of some magnitude his beer
discovered on Elk Run, Washing
ton county, Ohio, but anything
pertaining to its size is not known
and its history is yet in the future
Aside from three wells that have
been drilled there is nothing.
The latest development in tina
locality was the Smith No. 2 com
p1eted yesterday by Cummings 6
Cox. It is believed that the wei
will be good for at least so barrel:
per day.
This location, however, is be
tween Smith No. I and Shay 6
McMullen's No. I on the Bohlen
farm and does not extend the field
1t is reported that Shay & McMul-
len have located three more wells
and general scramble for leases is
in vogue.
The Carter Oil company is re-
ported busy leasing everything
loose, and rumor has it that they
have made three or four locations
nearly three miles in advance of
developments.
Operators have for years been
endeavoring to locate pool III that
locality. They were convinced
that pool of oil'existed in that 10
cality but were unable to locate it.
Late developments would indl-
cate that they have at last Sue
ceeded in locating the pool and a
large amount of work will be done
in that section during the summer
and fall.
From Mondays Daily.
Today the oil market made an
other move in the right direction.
The price for Pennsylvania and
West Virginia oil was advanced
from e2c to 94c. This is the high
est point reached in the past is
months. Field conditions warrant
dollar oil and it is coming.
The we'll on Proctor creek, Wet
eel county, located on the Kane
: farm is not showing up for &
gusher fthe first water. The wei
is being drilled by Cox & Co.
Of New Martinsville. The drill
reached the top of the Keener sane
Saturday morning. The latest &C
count we have had was to the eff
feet that at 20 feet in the sand nc
show Of oil or gas had been found
This is a rank wild cat and vii

to increase theirInjun production b.

BURNS PROVED Fatal.
Mrs. Trautman and Her Daugh.
ter Died.
EuIler and Later Details of tho
Terrible Explosion at Whisky
Run.

Later reports from the terrible
disaster at Whisky run as detailed
in Fridays Review give more
complete picture of the awful acct
dent. 1t is now learned that Mr..
HI. Trautman was not so severe
1y burned as reported.
Mrs. Trautman died yesterday
morning about ten o'clock, but her
death was not due so much to the
burns she received as to an attack
of heart trouble, which was IN
duced by the shock.
When the explosion occurred the
entire back part ofthe building fell
outward and she was thrown
through the opening out into the
ward. No bones were broken, but
as she was a large woman, she
received number of very painful
wounds. A hired girl, aged about
sixteen, was also severely burned,
and she, too, was knocked down.
Mr.. Trautman, who had been
sitting out in the yard, had just
started for the boiler house at one
of the wells before the explosion
occurred, and he was burned slight
ly and stunned somewhat by the
force of the explosion. H. l..
Montgomery was in the house at
the time and was burned severely
if not fatally. Montgomery is in
the employ of the South Penn OIL
company and his home IS at GLOW
er's Gap, near Warrington. His
parents will remove him to his
home as soon as he is able to travel.
Mr.. and Mrs. Trautman's boy and
: girl, aged ten and twelve, respect
lively, are are also suffering a great
deal, but neither of them is fatally
wounded. The daughter was stand,
ing near the kitchen door, and
when the explosion happened, was
thrown outward with great force,
and when she fell her clothing was
ignited and burned almost from her
body.
THE DAUGHTER DIES.
Superintendent J. w. Solly, of
the South Penn Oil company, 1e-
ceived a message this afternoon
from Whiskey run, stating that
Mr.. Troutman's daughter had died
at noon. The message also said
that Montgomery's injuries are
more serious than at first supposed
and it is now thought that he can
not live more than a day or two.
The son and hired girl are still
suffering intensely and the doctors
are unable to judge as to the extent
of their injuries. Mr.. Solly will
send a physician and nurse from
this city to look after the suffering
ones.
Mrs. Trautman was buried this
afternoon aud it was sad scene
indeed for none of her family but
her husband were able to accom-.
pany her remains to their long
home.
AS stated i'll yesterdays Review,
the property was entirely burned
and also the rig and boiler house at
the Bumgardner we'll.
It was not until late yesterday af-
ternoon, that the burning oil was
extinguished and as the we'll flowed
every hour, the loss to the Associ-
ated Producers Oil company was
very heavy.
At S o'clock last night they had
succeeded in getting the oil to
flowing into tank near an adjacent
oil we'll Of the South Penn Oil com
pany.
Mr.. kaufman and his children
are being cared for by nurses pro-
vided by his fellow employees, who
will see that everything possible
will be done for them.

Standard Oil company, as to prices,
will not change the conditions.
The striking of the new pool or
field of likely dimensions, or
prospective increase in the general
production, may change the opinion
and ideas of producers, but so long
as present conditions continue to
exist they know that their oil is of
much greater value than they are
being paid. An attempt on the
part of the distinguished (?) officials
and their INSCRIPTIONS associates
to shake out or scare the producers
into selling their credit balances is
not at all improbable and no doubt
that old export quotation in New
York will be work as the justifying
medium of their manipulation.
From Tuesdays Daily.
Mallory Bros. have completed
their No. I Amber, in Peasants
county, and have buster.
Boyd Bros: have drilled in their
No. Riggs and have a I5.barrel
producer. Their No: 4 Patterson
will be completed Friday.
Over in Washington county, on
Elk run, Cumming & Cox are sure
of six new locations on the Smith
farm.
Shay & McMullen's we'll on the
Bohlen farm has demonstrated that
all of the Smith farm is good.
The market cid not advance to-
day, and remains unchanged at
94c.
III the Elk Fork pool several
wells are past due.
The South Penn Oil company's
No. I Cunningham should have
been completed yesterday.
The Eastern Oil company is also
due at No. s NJ. A. Gorrell.
Thompson & Co. are progressing
very slowly at their test on the
Eastman farm near Lone Tree.
They were forced to shut down on
account of having no water.
Holden & Barnsdall are shut
down at their No. I Flesher, near
Friendly, owing to low water.
From the latest reports obtain
able the Paova Oil company's No.
I3 J. K. Hills dry.
This territory produces alone
from the Keener formation and the
deeper pay is not now looked for
since that sand has been drilled
through without showing of oil.
The average price paid by the
Standard Oil company for Pennsyl-
vania oil during the past year,
reckoning from June ISt, 81 to
June '98 was not quite 73c. With
better prices and conditions favor
able to further advance will cause
renewed interests in field work,

Mother Goose,

The most popular children's book
ever written was Mother Goose's
Melodies. " Mrs. Goose, or "Mother
Goose" as she was Familiarity called,
was the mother n-law of Thomas Fleet,
Boston printer, early in the last cen-
fury. When his first child was born,
his mother. in-law devoted all her at
tention to the baby, and, it is said,
greatly annoyed Fleet by her persistent
and not particularly musical chanting
of the old English ditties she had heard
in her childhood. The idea occurred to
Fleet of writing down these songs and
publishing them in book form. The
Oldest extant copy bears the date of
1910. The price marked on the title
page was 1.-TWO coppers." This account
of the origin of Mother Goose" is dis
credited by some critics, who declare
that in 1897 Perrault published "Contes
de ma Mere POye," or "Stories Of
Mother Goose" The name "Mother
Goose was familiar in French folk
lore, being used by writers of this lit,
erature over century before the time
of Perrault.

Here is first view of the sultan as

scribes it in her Letters From Constan-

"The green enameled and richly
gilded barouche comes in sight, drawn
by two glorious black horses covered
with golden harness, driven by a man
in bright blue and gold livery, and on
each side the grooms in blue and gold
and every man in sight, naval. mill.
tary, civil, master or servant, in the
all pervading but all becoming fez.
"In the carriage sits. small yet
stately man, in simple cloth military
overcoat, with no order Or decoration of
any sort, only his curved sword and a
fez like the rest His large hooked nose
proclaims his Armenian mother. His
piercing eyes are raised to our window
as he passes, but his face is still and
immovable, and he salutes no one,
though his whole person has a swaying
motion, SO faint that it may only be
caused by the swaying movement of the
carriage. Opposite his imperial majesty
sits Osman Ghazi, the hero of Plevna,
almost his only intimate friend, whom
he trusts implicitly"

The Roll of Honor.

The New York Sun published last
week list of pensioners who receive
over $45 month from the govern
ment treasury. There were 1868 in
the list which represented annual dis.
bursements of nearly $4,000, 1000.
There are $4,000 names on our
pension roll and the Sun calls upon
the government to publish the list
by means OF lists prepared in sections
and posted according to geographical
distributions. Every friend OF the
honest soldier would like to see this
done and then any frauds in the list
would come to light. The soldier or
dead soldiers relative who is honest
ly receiving a pension has nothing to
fear from the publication of the en-
tire list. The Sun has shown com.
mendable enterprise in publishing it's
list and the government ought to
follow it up by completing the roll of
honor.

Myrrh, which was fabulously suppos-
ed to be the tears of Myrrha, who was
turned into a shrub, was plant OF
handsome appearance, with spreading,
fernlike foliage and large umbels of
white flowers. 1t was found principally
in Arabia and Abyssinia. In early times
the perfume distilled from it was great.
ly in requisition for embalming.
Herodotus gives detailed account OF
the ancient mode of embalming, which
is perhaps more instructive than pleas
Ing. After the body had undergone
much preparation, which. to spare your
feelings, Twill not describe, it was filled
with powdered myrrh, cassia and other
perfumes 1t was then STEPPED in ma
iron, a strong solution of soda, for 70
days After this it was wrapped in
bands of fine perfumed linen, smeared
with aromatic gums.
Not only people were thus embalmed,
but the crocodiles of Lake Moeris,
which, after their mummification, were
decorated with ornaments and jewels
and laid in one of the subterranean
passages of the great labyrinth with
much pomp and display. The sacred
cat, ichneumon and other cherished ami
mails devoutly worshiped by the Egyp-
tians were embalmed with scrupulous
and fanatical care. On days special to
the memory Of the dead the mummies
were newly sprinkled with perfume, in
cense was offered before them and their
heads anointed with fresh oil-in the
same spirit as we lay new blooms upon
the graves of our dead. London Society.
