DAVIS WELL SHOT

The Davis we'll, east of town,
drilled by Ira Dewitt, was shot last
Saturday morning and made a
very nice flow but not satisfactory,
SO 1t was shot the second time, in
the afternoon.
About two hundred people from
town went out in the morning and
witnessed the first shot. 1t was
something unusual for an oil we'll
to be shot in the vicinity of Harris

the beginning of what may prove
to be an oil field, by being present

9outh LlIna'''.'......,...... 81
Indiana ........ ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 81
The South Penn Oil COMPANY
have drilled i'll their Leroy Pier
point No. 8 at the Jug and it bids
ta1r to make splendid producer.
The pay was reached last night at a
late hour and telephone message
says 1t filed 1900 feet with oil. The
gas pressure is Of too small a vol
ume to throw the oil above ground
and the we'll will have to be pump
ed. This concludes operations in
that locality, there being no other
drilling wells.
The Hickman Oil company will
resume operations a little later as
will the South Penn.
With a decline of 400 barrels
per day in the pipe lines for the
month Of July as compared with
those of June, the oil producers of
pennsylvania and West Virginia
have cause for feeling encouraged.
Aside from the manipulation Of the
price by the Standard Oh coll.ranv
aud these manipulate will y
long be content ~ IdIe-EiitTe
IS nothing in the situation that will
interfere with higher prices. Pro
duction can not be maintained with
the present nature of operations
and territory. The continual re.
ductlon in Lima stocks of from
100000 to 100000 barrels per
month is a most encouraging fea-
ture for producers to consider, and
at this season of the year, when
shipments are smaller and the de-
mand less than it must be later on,
the outlook is indeed encouraging
for better prices.
1t is over three years since the
general daily average production o.
Pennsylvania oil has been as low
as 1t IS now or between $4,000 and
81, 900 barrels per day. 1t may be
that the runs for July do not quite
represent the production as there
were five Sundays and one holiday
Ill the month, together with several
pipe line picnics in different local
ties, which may have lessened the
average runs from wells to great
extent and which, if true, may be
made up in the production reports
tor August. But that Il c e ever
has been time in midsummer
when production showed such a
great decline and when so much
prospective producing territory
was being condemned, is beyond
question.
With the narrowing of produc-
Ing limits comes reports of an as
tonlshlng number of dry holes and
small wells, and nothing of the
gusher character to offset their eff
feet.
From Sunatra comes the report
that the syndicate of Holland or
Dutch capital which engaged in
the Oil producing and refining bus
mess here met with total failure
and not one barrel of oil has ever
been refined at their large refinery
completed last year, and farther
than this. all the wei S which thew

Why Bill Chased the Train.

(From the Topeka State Journal)
Did you hear about my friend Bill?'
said a trainman Well that fellow
has made me laugh more than once.
Not long ago Bill got jumping tooth
ache He wants to have that tooth out,
but he don't want to pay the money,
nor he amt got the nerve to have the
thing done. All the same. that tooth
is keeping him up at night, and BIZ,
he almost goes wild. Either me or
that tooth says Bill one or the other:
| amt going 10 stand this sort of life
All the same, when Bill starts to go to
the dentist his knees begin to bend
and he is so scared that the tooth stops
aching. but when he turns back ana
reaches the house the tooth is plugging
him again.
"Now. Bill thinks Of a great scheme.
What does he do but buy a piece Of
strong string. say, you know this KIND OF
silk thread. and he wakes that ana ties 1t
TO his tooth. so tight that it can't come
off. Then Bill walks down to the railroad
station. You see, it was his idea TO ties
the string 10 Il freight car. and then,
when the train started it would jerk the
maisly tooth out. He finds the freight
and ties the string to the coupler Of the
car. and stands around to wait until the
train starts. Well. sir. he begins to feel
chilly about the gills. The more he thinks
of the time when the train is going to
move. the worse he feels. Every time
the whistle blows he jumps. Well. |
guess Id better unite thinks Bill. and
come again another day; but when he
goes TO loosen the string he finds its no
go. and he can't jerk the think loose be
cause the other end is on the tooth.
Well, sir. that train begins to
start and Bill he doesn't have the
nerve to stand back, so he Just
trots on behind. like a little pup on the
end OF q chain Where are you going.
BilI?' hollers Il Teller; you seem to be in
hurry Well, sir, Bill starts to swear
like made, but the train is beginning to
go a little faster. aud he has TO commence
to lope like q jack rabbit. You see. the
train had been going through the city:
bur now it started TO get outside. BIZ
didn't have the nerve TO stand still SO he
Just bumped himself after that train like
it was something he wanted bad. Say.
mister why are you running that way
asked a brakeman, who got onto the
thing OF course, that sort of a guy made
Bill madden than ever, but he had to iope
on.
Luckily for Bill the train had to slow
up for a crossing. and while it stopped
he borrowed 4 knife and cut the string ;"

Doubtful Risks.

A recent publication showing how mod
ern architecture has affected the rates of
fire insurance has caused inquiry on the
subject of life insurance, and laymen who
are interested in the subject have asked
what changes have been made by the life
insurance corporations as to risks. One
of the popular companies in its lnStruc-
tions to agents gives warning against
writing applications upon the following
classes of persons: Those who engage IN
blasting, mining. submarine labor,
aeronautic dSccnSonS. the manufacture.
handling or transportation OF intlam-
mabie or explosive substances, service in
connection with any dynamo, or as an
electric lineman. or as a paid member OF
any fire department.. or in switching or
coupling railroad ears. or as profession
al gymnaSt and those engaged IN glass;
blowing. or in the manufacture or sale
of liquor The company also warns its
agents against persons VINO are IN re-
ceipt of pensions on account of disease,
and persons who are more than % per
cent, over weight; who have lost relatives
from apopleXy or heart disease. All per
sons who are more than 80 per cent. over
weight are barred from insurance.
The same precautions should be taken
in regard to persons who are more than
IA per cent. under weight, and have lost
relatives from consumption. Among the
recent additions to the list of "don,ts' is
the one which refers to persons who in
tend visiting the Klondike region.
Locomotive engineers, tiremen, brake
men. Engagement, eXpresSmen and mail
clerks of passenger trains will be insured
for an amount not exceeding $4,000 on any
individual life. but at s. advance on every

agents, clerks and mechanics employed
in the Offices and manufacturing or repair

list are as follows: Five feet inches.

ter caught the ball squarely and il
went sailing into the air. The colonel
himself went sailing down to the foot
of the steps. He landed in heap, and.
considering his immense weight, it is
a wonder that he did not break leg
He didn't however, and when he got UP
his sides were shaking with laughter
The First Infantry men did not stand
in quite so much fear of Shafter and
liked him better after this.
Gen. William Montrose Graham was
colonel of the Fifth Artillery, with
headquarters at the Preside of San
Francisco until about a year ago. hav-.
ing been made a brigadier shortly after
Shafter attained that rank. Graham is
one of the sturdiest, best hearted. and
at the same time gruffest soldiers in
the American army. He has a strong
sense of justice. The way he brought
one of his young officers to a realza-
ton Of the meaning Of regulations
showed this. This young officer had
recently arrived at the Preside on his
first detail from West Point. He fell
into the habit Of diSregarding the sa-
lutes of the enlisted men around the
post. TIE men noticed this and talked
about ii among themselves. Perhaps
Gel. Graham heard of it. At any rate,
one afternoon the colonel was walking
from his office to his quarters. followed
at a distance of thirty feet or so by
his orderly. The young officer from
West Point came down the gravel path
from the opposite direction. He sa-
luted his colonel, and, of course, the sa-
lutte was returned But he was appar-
entity too absentminded to notice the
salute of the trailing orderly, and did
not return it. He did not know that
the colonel had wheeled about after he
passed and was looking after him. He
had no sooner passed the orderly
without returning the latter's salute
than his colonel hailed him.
Lieutenant" called out Graham, "a
word with you"
The young lieutenant walked up to
the colonel.
"One of the requirements of officers
in this army" said Graham, is that
they shall return salute for salute.
Orderly, salute the lieutenant. Lieu
tenant, salute the orderly"
The young officer turned red, but re-
turned the salute of the grinning or
derby.
Now, lieutenant continued the
colonel. you and my orderly may pace
back and forth, in opposite directions,
for While, both of you observing resu-
lations, as you come within salutinG
distance of each other.
Then Col Graham sat down on
rustic bench alongside the gravel
path pulled out cigar, lit it and
smoked comfortably for ten minutes or
SO, while he watched the officer and
man pass in front of him exchanging
big four" samtes. The young lieu
tenant Of artillery has probably not
disresarded the salute of an enlisted
man since that time.
