Oil Notes.

The Welsh Journal has the fol
lowing to say about the Oil situa
ton at that place:
'Practically the oil situation is
unchanged. The only great strike
was in landing the drill through
ten-inch rock. The manage
ment, as well as expert drillers,
say that with the great amount
of Oil that has been coming up
daily there is no doubt that "a
paying well will be struck. At
this writing the well lacks 400
feet of being as deep us Jennings

Port Arthur oil expert, was a

to a depth of over 250 feet and

Samar Must be Ready
for Emergencies.

Manila, Nov. 11.-According to
apvices from Cathalogan, capital
of the island of Samar, theinsur-
gent leader has sent a message
to General Smith declaring that
he will not listen to negotiations

We Must Have Waterworks.

The question as to whether we
will have waterworks in Jennings
or not is practically settled. It
is almost universally agreed that
our city must have system of
waterworks for fire protection, if
for no other purpose. The only
question at issue is whether the
city shall own and operate a
aystem or shall a franchise be
granted to a private corporation
or individuals.
No city or town of Importance
thinks of granting a waterworks
franchise to individuals. The
RECORD sincerely hopes that the
city will put in system as other
towns are doing.

OBERLJN, LA, NOV. Z.
DEAR MR. EDITOR:

Since my last news notes so
much of Importance has crowded
itself into the life of this commun-
ity, of which I am a part, and OF
such interest to the public in
general, that I have decided to
furnish you with some running
letters covering the ground, as 1
view it, that has not as yet been
traversed. My last letter was
relative to the Lake Arthur camp
meeting. Since then l see from
the 'RECoRD" that some of the
young ladies of Jennings have
gone to the ssEast Mississippi Fe-
male College" of Meridian, Miss.
to school. That is an excellent
christian home and a fine school.
1 hope they may aldo we'll there.
Returning home from Lake
Arthur I found our ward in the
midst of hot prohibition cam
paign. This second campaign
was necessitated by the contest
made by the whiskey element
after the first election; in that in
that one, the election commission
ers had not been careful to see
that each box was properly de-
livered at the desired destination.
The final outcome (as you know
was big victory for the temper
ance people-They gaining one
hundred and twentyone votes in
majority in favor of NO license.
Debarring a few trivial affairs of
no great consequence the cleo
ton was a quiet and peaceful.
This scribe was attacked by a
saloon keeper who considered
himself the master of the situa-
ton and supreme dictator for
ward one. This unlucky party
paid dearly for his "fool hardy
rashness both in hard cash and
other ways.
For this victory on the side of
morality and righteousness we
give God the glory. The next
item of consequence was a brush

els here. My father, The Rev.
F. D. VanValkenburgh was also
on hand part of the time.

Brown Funk a Hero.

This morning at 9:O5 as a
through freight train was COM
ing through the yards at about
25 miles per hour, and when in
about 100 feet of the crossing,
close to Remage's store, little
girl 5 or 6 years ran up on the
track. Mr.. Funk saw her and
ran and snatched the child out
from in front of the engine. Just
as he got the child off, the engine
went steaming by. He cleared
the track about three feet with
the child. This was very mar
row escape from death. He
rlSked his life to save another.

A hit of Hoyt.s wit.

In his palmy, healthful days almost
every act of Hovt was an anecdote,
and there We're very many of his acts.
One that will appeal particularly to
theatrical people is told by an actor as
follows:
"Hoyt made many friends, and some
of them were real fast friends. Two Of
the fastest in both the affectionate and
convivial sense he took with him in
the production of one of his successful
comedies in connection with the bust
ness management of the piece. Now.
1t is true of all theatrical management
that there is always rivalry between
the man ahead of the show and the
man back with the show as to which
will be the whole thing. After these
two men had been on the road with
the company for several weeks a
strong rivalry grew up, and the man
ahead of the show billed himself ON
the programmes as manager and the
other as agent. OF course the reduced
gentlemen Kicked and to settle the
dispute the man who was the whole
thing wired Hoyt in some anger Il
want to know how | shall bill - on
the house programmes Quick as a
nash the answer came from Hoyt, Bill

What of the Tournaments

If it be permitted to use an up-tO-
date expression TIE DAILY TIMES
would like to remark the business men
of Missouri Valley better get move
ON themselves" if they want the next
eeting of the Maple Valley Fire.
mems Association, the largest associa-
ton of its kind in the western part of
the United States, to be held in Mis-
souri, this summer.
AT the Ida Grove tournament last
summer, the executive committee of
the organization decided to give the
next tournament to Missouri Valley.
although there were at least five other
towns located in the western portion
of the state anxious for the meeting.
No further thought was given the
place of holding the next meeting as
all supposed the matter had been set
tied by giving it to Missouri Valley.
But at the business meeting of the
Association which occurred a few DAYS
ago, w. j. Burke of this city and act
ing as representative of the Missouri
Valley Fire Department appeared be-
fore the meeting and requested the
Association to defer final action in the
matter of the place of holding tn
seasons tournament for short time
owing to the fact that the members OF
the local department have been unable
as yet to ascertain whether or no the
business men of the city want the
meeting. 1t they do it will be- necessa-
~ to raise fund of about $500 to be-
Expended as purses, expenses of con-
Quoting the tournament, etc. Follow
ing the example of many of the cities
of the state. Missouri Valley should
have some kind of carnival or some.
thing similar this summer, and from
standpoint of drawing crowd and
amusing the city's guests nothing
equals meeting of the tiremep. With
the proper effort the business men of
the city could work up street carnival
which could be combined with the
Tournament. A definite answer must
be given the committee within the
next few days, so the Commercial club
should lose no time but call meeting
immediately and ascertain the senti-
ment of the business men regarding
1.-THE proposition.

City Expenditures.

Those who imagine that Il city of
four thousand people can be run at a
small cost will be undeceived by a ref
erencs to the cash expenditure of the
last year. From the annual official re-
port we gather the following amount
as audited by the committee on finance
which we presume is correct:
Gltv NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. s8a12.12
water fund, ........... 4.a0l.S5.
Light fund,........... l,87l.43.
Total,... ........ SID. 4S5 Al.
This does not include the street work
done by poll tax. which amounts to a
considerable sum.
The business of the city has heen
conducted upon a cash basis, paying
all bills at the close of each month. and
while we are glad to say that economy
has been observed by our city council,
vet bills accumulate. and as the city
increases in population the expenses
will necessarily increase. More lights
will be necessary, water mains must
be extended. streets be improved. and
other Improvements made, all of which
costs money.
We congratulate Missouri Valley on
the selection of its officers. and We arc
certain that each officer will do his dn-
ty and work together for the common
good. and all should give to them a
hearty support, and by so doing work
together for the common good of ALL
This year is to be busy one for our
city; already the hand of improvement

ration and all will he we'll,

Eleven years ago today, it being
called call fools day." the propri-
etors of The Mo. VALLEY WEEK
LEY TINES took it into their heads
to publish Daily in connection
with the Weekly Times, and on
April LIST 1891, the first number of
The Daily Times was issued. It
was then an experiment. Many
thought it could not succeed, be-
lieving the town too small to sus-
tain Daily publication, but with
full confidence in the liberality of
the people Of our young city, and
with a determination to publish
paper worthy the support of the
public, we commenced the work,
and our most sanguine expectation
has been realized, and The Daily
Times has been success from the
day OF it's birth to this good hour,
and its future grows brighter and
brighter as the years go by, and
now it is one..of the permanent fix
lures of this city.
That it takes money to publish
q daily paper is known to all, and
without the confidence of the pub
lie it certainly would fail, but hav-
ing known the people of Missouri
Valley for over thirty years, twas
no guess work as to their liberali-
ty and public spirit, so we deter
mined to issue daily, and while
it is true it was born on call fools

THE cHANGELEss PLAYS.

I've warls..ed to the theater, I've been to see tbs
I've listened to the same old jokcs we heard long
years aso.
The villain died the same old way-his death was
hard and slow
The last act his finish, Tom, like twenty ycars
ago!
The heroine, she suffered, Tom; you should have
heard her weep;
Her hair was golden in its hue, for pcsoxidc il.
Cheap.
She found the Kissing will, though, Tom; She al
ways did. sou know,
When we weIit 10 tie theater some twenty years
ago.
The jokes were just the same ones, Tom, about
the ma-in-law,
Likewise the goat, the stovepipe and the female
suffrage jaw
badhcad row;
1t sounded as it used to- Tom, somc,twenty years
ego.
The hero struts about the stage and hoarsely wills
pors, ".Ah,
see it all!' And then the crafty yilain.mutters
"Bah!"
The play is Just the same, dear Tom; thc,plot is
tlickcncsl so,
1t looks the same as when we went some ,twcnty
years ago.
The soubrctte is the same, old boy; she has The
same old wink.
Her cheeks are Just as radiant; they have the
same soft pink
She's billed as Little Tottie now. and. say. she
doesn't show
Her age as much as when She played son,c.twcnty
years ago.
The songs full of mother, dears," the.star
takes all the stage
The jokes and other dialogue show very little
But youngest of the lot dear rom the soubrcttc,.
checks still glow
As pinkly as they used to do some twenty years
ago.
