but this is not definite, for it will
require analysis to determine this
point.
Mr.. Hunter said last night that
the information was correct and
entirely reliable and that the Union
Sulpher Company has a genuine
and troublesome Oil Ispouter. He
says all the employees of the com
pany are very reticent about the
matter and are using every effort
| to conceal the fnst as much as pos
s:ble. The oil shot up nearly 20
feet at the first leap, and then rose
1 steadily until it went to the top Of

it is said, this company has had to

SHE BOUGHT THE LOT.
Baltimore Man with Real Estate for Sale Made Effective Use of
 Bi1lboards.

Honest advertising is hard to beat, as all business minds will agree, but here is story of little scheme that served the purpose quite as we'll as advertising, says the Baltimore News.
 A man, we'll known in this city, had piece of property in the northern section which he wished to sell. The property was on one corner of con- servative street and on the opposite corner was the residence of lady who is well known in society and wealth. The~man who owned the lot offered it to the lady at what real estate brokers term ''stiff'' figure. She wanted the proPerty, but not at the price.
 The. man, who, of course, will be designated as mean decided that the lady on the opposite corner should have the property and at his price Now, the lady in question is orthodox to an extreme undreamed of by the most rabid conservatives. She is a white-ribbon lady, and she often shud- dered at the ''rude'' pictures that had a change of bill weekly on the huge poster-b boards with which the man adorned his lot.
 Week after week pictures of actress es of the 'few-clothes'' variety were displayed on the posters and the lady was mortified. She offered to split the difference with the heartless man, but he held out for his price. Recently the lady paid it, and now the nasty billboards are missing.

KELIAR.

On Thursday evening Kellar will be at Polls, presenting a new series of illusions and again introducing the so- called infallible clock which c. Collard Adams brought to confusion last sea- son when Kellar was here. The magic ian insists that it is impossible for this clock to err. whereas MT Adams insists that it really did err last sea son in locating the day of the week on which Washington's birthday fell in certain year. The controversy was lively between MT Adams and Kel- lar on that occasion. and there is a probability that MT Adams will be on hand Thursday evening to reopen the controversy. On that account, no less than because of Kellar's great ex- hibition of necromancy, Polls will un- doubtedly hold large audience on Thursday evening. Seats go on sale tomorrow at 25 cents to $1.
