REFINERY
Which Akron Men Are
Building.
Lodi Correspondent Tells Much
About II.

The people of Lodi do not seem to
realize the magnitude of the new oil
industry that is being located there,
says Medina Gazette correspondent.
The extensive construction already
under way, the high grade of all the
equipments, ana ''pusll' displayed in
the building of the oil refinery indi-
cate that it will be u permanent indus
try that will aid materially in the
growth and prosperity of the village.
The fact that the projectors are j. w.
Miller and ii. A. Hire, two Akron men,
who are among the leading oil well
operators III this vicinity, also shows
their confidence in the stability Of the
Lodi oil fields.
The plant occupies three acres in
the point between the old swmap spur
and the B. & o. Il. Il. yard. When the
works are completed this ground will
be pretty well covered with buildings
and tanks. The boiler and still. with
their brick foundations, are complet-
ed, also the glazed tile building, 4Ox6O
it., to be used by a compounding
house. The frame buildings for the
agitator and bleacher are well under
way, the former to be lined throughout
with lead The still is 40 feet in di
ameter and 20 feet long and the
plant will have a capcaity for 27e
barrels daily. Besides the common
burning oil and gasoline there will
be produced cylinder oil, machine oil
engine oil, etc.-in fact full line OF
oils and all the by-products. On the
construction % or 80 men are EN-
ployed, and large number Of men vii
be needed when the work of refining
is to be commenced. A large amoun
of construction is yet to be done
Thousands Of feet Of pipe are to bt
put in. A switch from the b. & o
will be built, wax houses are to b'
erected, large number Of tanks vi
to IA feet in diameter and II fee

211a inches in diameter is being built t,
structed in the most approved name
and will be the best that can be pro
cured. The work of construction is il
charge of III. Q. Lette, who will b.

Those who petitioned for the Can

they, that the temporary injunction

MISSION
OF Ambassador Choate
Unknown.
Still Reported II Refers to Anglo.
American Alliance.

London, Oct, 16.-(spl)-Despite de-
malls from Washington the story Of
Ambassador Choate's alleged mission
to the United States continue to ex-
cite interest in London diplomatic cir
cles. The story, which is to the effect
that the ambassador carries with him
to America an inquiry as to what
President Rooseyelts attitude to Eng
land would be in case Of European
complications, probably arose from the
fears of French diplomatists whose
pet bugbear is an Anglo-American al
lance.

AN INTERNAL REMEDY.
A Pleasant Tasting Tablet; Simple,
Convenient; Cures Every Form
Z of Catarrh.

The use Of inhalers, douches, sprays,
salves and powders for catarrh is a
nuisance and inconvenience at the best,
and cannot compare with antiseptic
remedies In tablet form for internal
use.
Internal remedies are the only ones
which can really reach the seat of
the disease which is in the blood and
local applications can no more cure
catarrh than rheumatism or kidney
trouble, the excessive secretion in nose
and throat being local manifestations
of deep seated poison in the blood.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets, the most
successful Of the various internal rene
dies, is composed principally Of highly
concentrated antiseptics, which destroy
the catarrh germs in the blood and
cause them to be eliminated through
the natural channels.
Progressive physicians use and ad.
wise Stuart's Catarrh Tablets because
they contain no cocaine, no opiate, no
>enervating drug whatever, but are
composed Of Guaiacol Hydrastin, Red
Gum and similar catarrh antiseptics
and are so safe and pleasant that
even little children may use them with
excellent results.
Catarrh sufferers who have wasted
time and money on local applications
should not despair of a radical cure
until trial of Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets has been made.
A complete treatment may be pur
chased at any drug store for fifty
cents. ass 81

WORRY
Because of Smallpox at
Newark.
Friends of Eighth Regiment Rifle
men Fear There Is Danger.

The friends of some Of the men,
bers Of the EighLh regiment rifle
team, who went to Newark to take
part in the State rife competition there
this week are worried because OF the
prevalence Of smallpox at that place.
The officers in charge Of the camp

lieve that there is any danger from the
disease.
The camp grounds are several miles
from the city and every precaution
will be taken to guard against the

be about $50 Ohio soldiers gathered
there and the possibilities, if propei
precautions are not taken are enorm-

SOLID WITH KANsANs

Helps to Eat Real

Lawrence, Kan, May 22.-General
Frederick Funston and his followers
on their trip to capture Aguinaldo
were reduced to a diet of snails and
octopus, according to a letter dated
San lsadore, P. L., April 5, and re,
ceived from the Kansan by Captain
Adna G. Clark, of Lawrence, today.
1T was one Of the very hardest

Off as prisoners of the Filipinos and
of the lack Of food and says:

who has been brought up in Kansas

to put to my credit in case l should
come back to Kansas and try to break

enough to get where it had

the elevator continued to ascend, but
his majesty jumped back in the nick
of time and thus ESCAPED being

ers and Mr.. Watson, designer of Sham
rock II.
Asks for Extension.
Mr.. Watson and Mr.. Jameson, es-
pecially the former, are very down
cast and absolutely refuse to say any
thing. Watson, indeed, is SO chagrined
that he could scarcely talk to even
his most intimate friends and until
after dinner on board the Erin, Sir
Thomas believed it would be impos-
sible to contest for the cup this year.
But thanks to his indomnitable per-
severance, backed up by King Ed
wards optimistic and enthusiastic
support, it was decided to go ahead,
provided the New York Yacht club
would grant an extension. The ques-
ton whether the New York Yacht
club should be asked to permit substi-
tuition of Shamrock l. for Shamrock II.
was quickly relegated, because Sir
Thomas and Mr.. Jameson, in spite of
everything that has happened, main
tanned that the new boat was we'll
worth the trouble she had caused.
It may be stated with no little
authority that the c~hallenger's true
merits have not been displayed with
too much vigor, and that ,i.tTe is more
in her, according to the views of those
most interested, than meets the aye.
Sir Thomas calculates that a delay
of three weeks or a month in the late
of the contest in American waters
will enable him to come to the
scratch. He says that he is greatly
handicapped by the fact that he has
no duplicate masts for Shamrock H.,
but by unlimited expenditure of mon
ey and energy he believes defects can
be remedied in time to provide for
the international race this year.

KING III

London, May 22.-The escape of

Shamrock II. was narrower than at
first supposed. The heavy steel boom

aboard when the catastrophe occurred.

later the boom would have been right

estimate what damage might have
been done. AS it was all tie gear
