Am USEMENTS.
Robert ManteII i'm 1.-The Dagger and

the Cross"
An audience OF complimentary size greeted
Robert Mantell and his powerful play The
Dagger and the Cross at English's Opera
House last night. Mr.. Mantell is a prime
favorite with Indianapolis theater-goers,
but he is likely to seriously endanger his
popularity by surrounding himself with a
company so weak In essential particulars.
A conspicuous character in 1.-The Dagger

priest. This character. properly portrayed.
would give the play a religious tone ap-
preaching subiimity. AS II was played last
night 1t was a travesty. and at times all of
MantelIS art was required to
save a situation from being utterly, hope
lessly ridiculous. But enough of the weak
ness of the company. The people went to
see Mdnte4l, ana right well they were re-
paid. Never has he given a more finished.

MARKET FOR CRUDE.
1t Is the Interesting Feature in the
Indiana Oil situation.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
MONTPELIER, Ind, Nov. 23.-Just at
present more interest is manifested in the
market for crude oil than there has been
for many months. Basing their opinions
upon the refined market, producers think
the crude market will soon go higher unless
the drill should discover a large and prolific
field. AS there is a great scarcity of drill
able territory producers are commencing to
invest their surplus cash in oil for a higher
market. but when they come to buy on mar
gin they find it hard to get in on the mar
me- 4@o.auOAs. Nearly every one Is oil the
opinion the market will go up. and it is i'm
possible TO find a broker who will invest
with a view of the market going down.
Field conditions practically remain as they
have been for the past month. while there
is no noticeable falling on in the demand,
either at home or abroad. From every
standpoint 1t looks as II the Indiana and
Ohio producers are sure OF a good market
for their product for some time to come.
There Is but one locality IN either State
where oil abounds for a certainty that
district OF this state, which at present cam
not be operated owing TO proniDltory laws.
An important suit in this respect Is now
cour,s which it is said soon will be disposed
of. Many operators are watching closely
for this decision. and If the drilling embargo

amount Of work.
Many operators think most Of the gas ter
ritory will turn out fine producers-the best.
in fact, in the State, and they are also of
the opinion thai the time is not far dis
tant when the gas pressure will become SO
low that the law viii permit drilling for oil.
OF a recent date there has been completed
quite a number of wildcat wells in the
Ohio field, but with scarcely an exception
they have resulted in failure. In CONVERSE
ton with the representative of a large COM
pany operating in the Trenton rock field the
writer was Informed that his, company
within the past twelve months had drilled
at least twenty-five wildcat wells. but
failed to find any new productive territory
of any consequence, and further said: w
don't know a single spot TO drill in search
of something new. and If things continue
| for the next year as they have in the past
year the Trenton rock oil ought to bring
$40 a barrel, and If no new territory is
found l believe ii WILL"
The Loogootee test well is still attract
ing considerable attention, as il is reported
to be doing close to ten barrels a day, and
another test is being put down by Medley &
Co. about half a mile in advance from the
initial venture.
