OIL IN LOUISIANA
A Spouter Brought in at Jen.
nings, 4'Inch Stream Thrown
Thirty'Five Feet in the Air.

Jennings. -The town was thrown
into intense excitement again Satur.
day by the report that the oil we'll on
Mamou prairie had spouted. One Of the
drlllers, O. O. Noble, said:
when we knocked the gate valve
IN the four pipe we then got
ready to begin bailing. When we
opened the valve the oil and water
spouted to within ten feet Of the ton
OF the derrick. A stream of oil con.
tlnued to flow for some time. We
then began to bail again. At 1890
1t spouted again and threw a four.
inch stream Of oil thirty.flve feea
high. We continued bailing, as we
were only down about 800 feet. Our
bailer got caught in the cable which
we had put in the four.inoh pipe to
check the. flow Of the oil when we
were putting tho pipe down. We
have sent for spear hook to recover
the bailer. We will begin this work
Monday morning."
Mr.. Noble said the oil was forced
up through 1000 feet of oil sand. As
only the first eight hundred feet Of
the we'll is open this would indicate
that there was terrible pressure in
order to throw the oil 80 high. ave
are convinced" he continued, "thst
this is as good we'll as any at Beau
mont, and the oil is lighter and of q
better quality"
A great many oil men are in town
md have been at the we'll. They are
'ery enthusiastic and do not hesitate

follows: II am poor speaker and

therefore, to take a course Of irst.uc-
ton in speaking, and, learning from
the papers that there are a great many
speak-easies in your city, ] would be

Betheny, France. -The Oar an,
Ozarina and President Loubet have
completed a review of 1900 troop,
on the plain of Betheny. The marcF
lasted from 1O:45 a. m. till ITO D.
m, terminating in a magnificent
charge Of 10000 cavalry. The spec.
taole was very imposing as the infan.
Try went by 100 files deep with fixed
bayonets.
In his speech at the luncheon which
followed the review President Loubet
created somewhat of a sensation bv
