in THE OIL FIELDS.

b 1t Is more quietin oil circles now than
It has been for long time and the in
dlcatIons are that 1t will be even worse
before a great many days. With the
market at the present 1sure and the
roads in an almost impossible condi-
tlon It is little wonder that the major
ityt OF the operators and producers are
shutting down and will do as little work
as possible until there is either on adj
vance in the price OF the oleaglnous
fluid, or until spring opens up md the
roads are In better condition. In the
NElk Fork pool nearly all OF the larger
operators are making preparations to
stop all work except Just such as they
will be compelled to do in order3to pro-
tect their lines and In some cases the
operators have entered into an agree
ment with each other not to drill along
the lines.
There Is still quite a lot OF work being
done In the southwest extension of that
field, and there will be some all the
time, as some OF the people. have sufll-
Client material on their leases TO keep
them going. -,
Treat & Crawford have but one well
drilling In the field now and It is on the
Farrell lease. As soon as It Is complet-
ed which will be very. shortly this
company viii stop all work until spring.
Henry & Macdonald will be due at
their No. Q on the W. W. Gorrell lease
the latter part OF the week. No. 5 is also
drilling and It should reach the sand In
aboutia week II theF have no acci-
dents. This is the last work this COM
pany will do for some time.
The Hill Oil Company Is perhaps the
most active In the field at present. They
have made the locations for couple Of
more wells on the J. X. Hill one hun
d.ed-acre lease and the rigs will be
started in a couple of days. AS soon rs,
the rigs have been completed the wells
will be started drilling.
The Sun OIL Company has had rig
up on the Cunningham lease for several
weeks, but have not yet started to drill.
1t was reported last night that this well
Has being rugged UP and would be
started shortly.
An Important test well which will be
started in couple OF days, Is that to be
drilled on the Eagan lease by Yoke &
Company. This well Is located ahead OF
developments some distance and Is d.
rectly between the Elk Fork pool and
the wells recently drilled In near Cen
treville. It Will be watched with inter-
est by the talent.
The Carter OIL Company is still fish
ing at their well on the Edwards farm
In the Wilson Run territory and the
indications are they have n plugged
hole and will have TO move the rig and
start new well.
Gordon &: Company In the same dis
trict commenced TO spud yesterday at
their No. 3 on the Reed farm Their No.
2 on this farm was drilled In n few days
ago, and is showing UP for a good pro-
Queer. l.
The Carter OIL Company has drilled In
Its No. 5 on the Livingston farm, In the
Plum Run territory, and will have a
producer good for about one hundred
and fifty barrels a dag. There is con-
siderable activity in this section of Ty-
Ter county at present and there will be
quite number OF wells drilled there IN
tho next thirty days.

WORK OF THE STORM.

The storp, that, swooped over the
southwest last Saturday night and Sun-
day was most destructive, anu cnuheu a
greater loss 10 oil men than any similar
Visitation In tho history OF the busl-
ness. From Butler county down through
the southwest, several thousand derricks
were blown down. In Butler. Alllegheny,
Washlngton and Beaver counties. the
Forest oil Company reported a loss OF
more than 400, Allegheny and Washing
ton counties suffered The greatest loss.
on some farms not single derrick Is
left standing. In West Virginia the dam
ago was not go heavy. a report from
Warrington puts the number or ger.
Kicks blown down at more than 100 In
that vicinity. The estimate dcost OF re.
building q derrick Is about $40, so that
10 repair the damage the one. Item runs
Into thousands OF dollars.
I The Carter OIL Company lost about 90
derrlcks In the Slstersyille field, and
other producing companies we're heavy
losers. Another very considerable loss
was the damage 10 the telephone and
telegraph lines throughout the fields
The system has been so crippled as 10
cause an almost entire suspension OF
business. It vii be several days before
the repairs can be completed, and the
lines once more In good working order.

These things seem 10 be greatly In
creasing OF late. and without any APP
parent cause. We see more men who
lack ylgor than ever before. We meet
more women who seem broken-down
than In tho past. Surely there must DO
a cause for all thls-and there Is.
These troubles cnn arise from but one
cause, namely: dlsordered kidneys or
urinary organs. Indeed, II Is now adj
mltted that the region OF the lower body
is the prime source OF most physical Ills.
When the kidneys become diseased the
blood becomes poisoned and all the
troubles such as slecpiessncss. lack OF
appetite, Ilervelessness, rcstlesspess,
tired and Respondent feelings follow in
It's wake.
The truth Is, people are not we'll: but
they should be, and they can be IL they
would only take the means OF recovery
that are near ut hand. In writing upon
this subject. DR.. II. A. Gum. Dean and
Professor OF Surgery OF the United
States Medical College. New York. says:
"In large class OF ailments where
the blood Is In an unhealthy state
where there is no evidence OF organic
mischief but where the general health
Is depleted. the face sallow, the urine
colorcl, constituting the bilious" con-
ditlon,-the advantage gained from the
use OF Warmers Safe Cure Is remark
able. find also that In Brights dis
ease It seems to act as a solvent of al
bumen; to soothe and heal innamed
membranes, and wash out epithelial de-,
brls which block up the urine bearing
tubes
II lis undoubtedly true that Americans.
as a people, are in a more or less serious
condition. and that there are complaints
which have become national diseases.
But It Is also true that modern science,
has provided an adequate remedy which
is able to fully control 1t and supplant
sickness and misery by health and hap
piness.

There was great deal Of anxiety In
Wheeling yesterday, regarding the riv-
.er, what 1t would do and how soon It
would be done, Happily. the Intclllscn-
GER Is able 10 assure the public that the
Beautiful Ohio Is not golng to 90 much
on tho present ranpase-in fact that
little has been done and nobody has
been hurt.
With twcnty-seyen feet ofwater In
the channel at this port, and rains re-
ported yesterday afternoon at several
points on both tho Allegheny and Mo-
nongahela rivers, there was ample ex-
cusc for whatever anxiety was felt
here. However. after the water had
reached twenty-seycn feet six inches
yesterday morning. It began to rccedc,
and at n. m. was 20 feet 10 inches and
slowly falling. notwithstanding the
heavy rains OF Monday and Tuesday,
which were not SO heavy In the upper
country as they were in this vicinity.
Last nights kilograms from headwa-
ter points were quite encouraging and
give assurance that there will not be a
dangerous stage here. at least not I'M
less there Is additional and general rain
"a thing that IS not considered likely
to happen.
This morning at o'clock an Assoc
ciated Press telegram was received
from Pittsburgh. in which 1t was esti-
mated that the last rise now about to
como out OF the rivers above will
amount&to twenty feet at Pittsburgh.
This means that the present high stage
of the river here will be maintained
with only slight fall for several days,
