Remarkable Oil Craze.

Chicago with its corn deal and even
New York with its stock craze are not
so wild as Texas with its oil boom.
The speculative madness which is rag
ing in that and adjacent states, with
Beaumont for its center, is something
we'll nigh unprecedented in the records
of speculation. New oil companies are
forming almost daily. Every man or
every two or three men who have
money enough to buy few acres Of
ground adjacent to the oil wells or
ganize a company and capitalize it all
the way from l0oO0oS to half million
or two.thirds of million, retaining
the majority of the stock for the money
they have spent and selling the rest at
all sorts of prices.
The Dallas News in single issue
contained advertisements of thirty
seven com panies with total capitali-
cation of 22,275,0U0S, the par value Of
shares ranging from 10 cents to 25S.
The lowest stock of any company is
5,000s, the highest 5,00J,000S. 1t is the
story of western Pennsylvania and
Canada over again. 1t is to be hoped,
however, that the sequel may be diff.
ferent. Undoubtedly many will be
caught in unwise investments, for it l.
useless to give advice or issue warn.
ings when speculation has begun, and
this speculation is only in its begin
nings. IL is equally certain that while
some will lose many others will make
great fortunes. Those who invest eau
tiously undoubtedly will profit, for
unless all signs fail the oil region GOV.
ers an extensive area, both in Texas
and Louisiana. Oil has been found
already over a hundred miles north
and northwest Of Beaumont and pros.
pecting hardly has begun. Now there
are ten "gushers" ia Texas whose
present capacity Is greater than that
of any other developed oil fields in the
world.
1t is not yet settled whether the
Texas oil can be refined so as to be
available for Illuminating purposes
but it has satisfied every test as fuel
The most recent test was made by an
electric light and power company IL
Beaumont, and it showed that 6 Ii
barrels were used from $50 to $40
o'clock, as against 7S tons Of coal
for the same time, showing net saw
ing on the twelve-hour run of 450S
II the problem of cheap fuel is solved
by this oil discovery, it will work al
J industrial revolution throughout the
south. A saving of more than 80 pei
cent in steam heating means the say
: ing of millions of dollars. With cheal
fuel the great iron deposits of Texas
can be utilized and that state become
as con spicuous for the production o
: steel as it is now for that of cotton
Nor does there ppear to be any rea
son why this Texas oil cannot b
piped to the coast at Port Arthur, 70
instance, and shipped thence to Grea
Britain or the continent of Europe t
be used there instead of high prices

remedy for colds. If every one would keep Peruna in the house to guard against colds much needless suffering would be spared. If any one doubts l am ready to testify, for Peruna cured me of catarrh after had suffered for ten years. ."-Miss Anna Cramer.
 Mrs. Nellie Underwood, National Press Correspondent Ladies of the c. A. R., writes from 901 Hamilton street, Chicago, Ill., the following:
 The Pc ma Medicine Co.,, Columbus, O.:
 0enfIenen--."Every summer when the weather charges so suddenly seem to catch one of those tedious colds. Ihave fried several remedies, bur two years ago tried Peruna and fourd # most efficacious. II cured me completely in six days. Lasf summer I had another attack. Taf once fooir Peruna and In fhree days was well. 7 find that by taking # occasionally if keeps my system In a healthfuI condi- ton. and therefore gladly endorse 4. " ---Mrs. Nellie Underwood.
 ( Summer colds, though not as frequent as winter colds, very often prove moro dangerous. At the first symptoms of catching Peruna should be taken. It is sure to stop the cold at once, and save needless suffering, and perhaps catarrh. Peruna as an internal, systemic rem edy acts promptly on the intiamed mu- cous membranes wherever the cold has settled. It strikes at the root of the matter, and thus cures promptly and permanently.

NECRO'S NARROW ESCAPE
Charged With an Attempted Assault On a White Girl-Crowd OutWltted.

Tuscaloosa, August 12.-(Special )-Hen- ny Pratt, a negro man about S years of age, was arrested about 10 o'clock last night on charge of attempting an as- sault on the person of Sallie Leola, the S-year-old daughter of A. Rice. re- spected white person of this city. It seems that during Saturday night after 12 o'clock Pratt entered the home of MT. Rice where several of his children were sleeping on a pallet in room hY them- selves. The little girl awoke and saw the negro bending over her. He became frightened and ran off without accomp- fishing his purpose. As he ran out of the Rice home he was seen by Policeman Alex Simpson who attempted to halt him but failed. As MT Simpson came nearer to the house he met MT. Rice coming out of the house ard was informed of what his little girl had told him had occurred. MT Simpson ran back to where he had seen the negro running and saw him dis appear into the Mobile and Ohio road. All day yesterday the matter was kept quiet while the city police force were at work on tho case. About 10 o'clock last night the negro was arrested at the home of a negro woman, and when con- fronted with the charge against him, ne stated that he had been drunk the night before. and admitted that he was in MT. Rice's house When questioned further he stated that he did not know why he had gone in the house.
 About or o'clock last night about twenty men were prepared to go to the calaboose, thinking Pratt had been con fined there but Chief of Police McGill, having anticipated something of this character had placed his prisoner In the county jail. When the men found that he was not in the city prison they made no effort to take him from the jail.
 The trial of Pratt was to have been held before Mayor Cochrane this after noon at o'clock. but the case was turned over to the county, and examina- tion waived by the defendant.

FOUND POT OF GOLD.
searehers Unearth $s2,o7o of Spanish
 Specie In Mississippi.

Meridian, Miss. August 12.-QSpeeial.)- News was received in the city today of the finding of $s2, O7O most in Spanish gold specie, in buried chest about five miles from Porterville, on the Mobile and Ohio railroad, Friday night. by four men who have had a chart of the burial place and have been searching for the treasure for sometime They located a spot in the swamp, and found the three ash trees that formed a natural triangle. This is a section of Sueearnoehee that was once the rendezvous of the famous and notori- ous Copeland gang. and it has been long known that he buried most of his ill-got- ten wealth there. The searchers last Fri day succeeded in locating what they be- heved the exact spot and upon close ex- animation of one of the trees they found what they took to be the sears of an arr row. Knocking off the outer coating of bark the old wound was plain. IL was an arrow that when sighted pointed to a spot almost the center of the triangle. They dug down and succeeded in finding the pot of gold. It contained $32,o70.
 There is another sum of something over fifty thousand dollars buried in Succa ,no- chee swamp that has been scratched for for years, but 1t still awaits the lucky finder.
