DECEMBER PIPE LINE REPORT
One Of the Most Notable Documents
Of Its Kind Published for Many
Months-It Shows a Quite Healthy
oondiHon-The Efforts to Develop
a Field in the Immediate Vicinity
Of Parkersburg.

The pipe line report for the month Of
December Is. one of the most notable
documents Of its kind published for
many months. It indicates the most
healthy condition and shows that with
the allurlng high price for crude and
the outlook for still higher figures
that the production declined materially
in the month Of December. The cold
weather in a measure has Influenced
this result, but the principal reason for
the falling OF in the output is the wan
ing tendency Of the territory and the
scarcity of productive territory. A
writer Of prominence on the situation,
but unfortunately on the bear side OF
the question. says the months showing
Is not encouraging to the petroleum
business. Had the runs increased and
the stocks piled up, then according to
the bear theory 1t would had been very
favorable. Producers should not lose
sight Of the fact borne out by figures
that the great petroleum industry from
every standpoint has never been in a
better or more healthier condition than
at the present day. The greatest evil
dence substantiating this assertion is
the confidence, standing and credit of
the operator, contractor and the limit
ed amount Of protested paper in the
banking establishments. 1t is rare
case now when contractor or an oper-
ator cannot meet his obligations, and
surely never in the history of the trade
has credit been so literally extended
to all engaged in the trade.
1t is most remarkable that the stocks
of Pennsylvania oil only increased
about $500, while at the same time the
stocks of Lima oil were decreased 2Oo.-
900 barrels. The report shows that the
shipments of Lima oil for the month of
December show the smallest average of
the entire year and under those Of any
month since December, 1897.

Tillmans Pitchfork.

While the Porto Rioan bill was under
discussion Senator Tillman utilized his
pitchfork to toss a few sggravating
questions to the almost distracted Re-
publican Senators, which furnished
considerable amusement to the occu-
pants Of the galleries and TO the Demo-
cratic Senators Among the questions,
which no Republican seriously attempt
ed to answer, were the following /:
HAS the President changed his mind
or not Is the President for free trade
with Porto Rico to-day. or is he not?
Is he leading his party or has he sur
rendered to the dictates OF special in-
terests, following the triumphal car like
a prisoner of war: will some gentleman
please tell me whether the President is
for free trade with Porto Rico. or is he
not?" After waiting in vain for a re-
ply TO his questions. Mr. Tillmau said
with a sardonic laugh "A dumbness
falls upou us all He then vividly
sketched the present troubles of the Re-
publican party, and predicted that the
people would sweep 1t from power, for
not recognizing that the flag, the Con-
stitution aud liberty must travel to-
Rether, end charged the Republican
party with indirection, hypocrisy and
dirty work. Senator Spooner sought
to detract attention from Senator
Tillman's plain talk about Porto Rico
by shifting the debate to the suppress
sion of the negro vote in South Carolina,
but Mr.. Tillman met him at once by
declaring that be had no apologies TO
make for the action Of the white people
OF South CAROLINA, adding: when you
could get nothing from US By law. you

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is.only
one way TO cure deafness, and that is by con
stitutiona remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
infamed you have rumbling sound or i'm,
perfect hearing, and when It is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the inham
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition. hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
