OIL NOTES.
Pool In This County is the Best In
Sight.

The wells completed In the lower
Southwest during the past week ex-
ceeded in number and were larger in
size than for any previous week in
several months. With few exceptions
all are located inside of defined limits
so that their Importance lies princi-
pally with those directly interested
as Investors, and have no special bear
ing on the trade. The continued de-
cline Of the market, however, has d
different effect since all are forced to
share IN the depression. Two cuts
were made during the week, bringing
the price down from 81. IL to 81 OF for
Pennsylvania credit balances. The
quotation now is lower than IL was
expected to touch when It left the
81 80 mark and began to decline says
the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The present price will have a de-
pressing effect on operations In the
field, and unless there Is reaction
there will be duh times this summer
In the Eastern fields. 1t Is we'll un-
derstood that only small area of
ohpaloW eaoo t1iltbhiJ Ndu Dt pDfldltu
on dollar market. AS for the deep
sand territory, the only source from
which any considerable amount Of
new production can be looked for, the
present market price will cause sus-
pension Of operations there, except
when it will be absolutely necessary
to drill to protect lines or hold leases.
The largest well completed during
the week, and for several months,
was the South Penn Oil Company's
test on the Jacob Eddy farm, located
in the deep sand development west Of
Blacksyille, in Monongalia county, w.
Va. This territory had been noted
for some very fine producers, but 1t
was thought IL had run its course nn-
Til the South Penn drilled In its Ed
iy No. and got u producer that
made record Of T20 barrels the first
"a hours. The well does not show an
extension, but demonstrates that
there are still some rich unpunctured
spots in that development. This is
still one Of the most active pools In
West Virginia.

PHILIPPINE ARMY POLICY.
From 10000 to $4,000 Men Will BE
Kept on Duty There,


At the cabinet meeting Tuesday Secre;
tary Root announced the policy agreed
upon between the President and himself
in regard to troops in the Philippines.
This policy is to maintain the army in
the Philippines at from 10000 to $4,000,
and send new regiments to take the place
of those depleted by expiration Of enlist
ments. This is in line with Gen. Chaffee' S
recommendations, and also those Of AdJt.
Gen. Corbin.
The army in the Philippines now num-
bers 10000 men. The terms of enlist
ment of 10000 men will expire before
the close of the present fiscal year, and
they will have to be brought home by the
expiration of service. TO take the places
of these 10000 men 10000 troops will be
sent to the Philippines, so that the army
may not be cut below 10000.
If the conditions in Samar continue I'm
satisfactory the enlistment will be con.
tinued and more troops be sent. But
Secretary Root relies on the judgment OF
Gen. Chaffee, who does not anticipate
any extension of the instruction in Sa-
mar nor any trouble elsewhere. He is
not ready to recommend a serious reduc,
ton Of his force.

"a - - serious interference
with the International Railway, Capt.
Reiter will take prompt action.
Capt Reiter is a Pennsylvania by
birth, and was graduated from the
United States Naval Academy in 1860.
His progress through the various
grades of the service has been steady,
and he has seen a variety of duties.
There is scarcely a station to which he
has not been attached, and he has had
considerable land duty. During the Span
ish-American war he commanded one or
the smaller warships. He attained his
present rank two years ago.
The Wisconsin is the greatest fight
ing machine ever seen at Panama. Tho
Oregon and Iowa have been there, but
neither of these is as large as the Wis
consin. Comparatively few British bat
tleships or war vessels of other nations
come this way, and none that could be
compared with the Wisconsin. The Wis
consin was launched at the Union iron
works in San Francisco Nov. g. 1898,
and has been in commission several
months. She is of II, 1925 tons displace-
ment, and has length of 3GS feet;
breadth, y feet 21a inches; draft, % feet
6 inches. Her trial trip in Santa Bar
bara channel in October, 1900, showed an
average of 1925 knots, with maximum
speed of 1854 knots.

At the sale Of the Haigh collection Of
coins in Boston the principal item was
collection of United States copper cents
representing the dates from 1893 to 1887,
and containing 1873 specimens. The bid
ding on this lot started at So and in
creased until Mr. Collins, a Boston col
lector, bid $500 and the set was knocked
down to him. The 1893 cent sold for S.
The half cents brought even high prices,
proofs of 1910 and 1913 going for $40
each and proof of 1S49 for $24. There
was active competition for some of the
gold pieces offered, an uncirculated So
gold piece Of 1875 going to a Philadel-
phia dealer for $3.50. The same dealer
bought a gold dollar, uncirculated, for
$26.75, and a collector purchased a gold
dollar of 1870 for $50. An octagonal 500
gold piece, minted at San Francisco in
1852, went to a New York dealer for $96.
The Miners Bank $40 gold piece went
for $4S and the Mormon So piece of 1919
for $3.50

REscUEs HIS CAPTIVE BRIDE.

Omaha Man ForcibIy Takes Her from
the Home OF Her Relatives.
A struggle between the synagogue OF
Bethel and local spiritualist sect at
Omaha has resulted in victory for the
latter, and Rosa Fapia Day, jewish
bride, has been forcibly rescued by her
husband, Edward Day. The girl was
spirited away from her husbands home
shortly after her elopement and marriage
several days ago. Her union with Day
had been violently opposed by her parents
and friends. Following her disappear
ance came fruitless search by the police
and futile scances by Days mother,
well-known medium. Accompanied by two
girl friends of his wife, Day finally began
the search on his own account and locat-
ed his wife in the house of Jewish fam
lily named Brown. His companions sum-
moned the Browns to the front porch
while the husband forced an entrance
through the rear. He found his bride
locked in a room and induced her to flee
with him. The abducted bride confessed
that she went with her relatives willing
ly in momentary obedience to the ties of
race and blood. When she later sought
to return, however, she found herself I'M
der restraint. Day has applied for an in
junction to prevent his wife's family from
interfering with his or her actions.

other day a license to wed Ida V. WEB

legal questions, because positive proof
of death could not be secured. She went
to Omaha to live Her husband return

The dead bodies of Mrs. Cephas Buttles

Thirty-frst street, in Milwaukee, were

While in one Of the stores the nurse miss
