A GOOD STORY

A certain young lady in del
icate health was advised by her
doctor to take a half-teaspoon-
full of SCOTS emulsion of cod
liver oil after dinner-once a
day-and found herself almost
suddenly growing robust.
SO small dose is by no
means the rule; the rule IS
whatever the stomach will bear
not more. Another rule IS:
take it on every least occasion,
but not too much don't over

IN THE OIL FIELDS.
SUNDAY WAS UNEVENTFUL AT
THE TEXAS OIL CENTER.


Beaumont, Texas, May 1S.-Yestel'
day was the quietest Sabbath here
since the Beatty well was struck, on
March 26. The excursion from San
Antonio reached here about 9 o'clock
with eleven coaches well filled with
people. At 1 o'clock they were taken
to the oil field on the Sabine and East
Texas road, but the visit Of the crowd
there was uneventful 1t was not IN
derstood thst a well would be let go,
yet there was a general impression
that some few wells would be un-
leashed, but they were not. 1t cannot
be said that the excursionists were dis
appointed though of course they
would have been pleased to see the
exhibition.
The outlook for the coming week
contains little to excite. Yet no one
can tell what may turn up. Strictly
speaking the next few days should
witness some of the largest business
deals yet seen here. There are sew
eral refinery representatives on hand,
and it is probable that some interest
irg progress will be made in this line
soon. Then, too, it is understood that
John Henry Kirby is working on the
organization of his distributing and
transportation concern. and it swill
not surprise people here if the an
nouncement of the filing of this char
ter for company with a capital of
at least S5OOOO,OOO is announced from
Austin in the next few days.
There is vast amount of inyesti-
CATION going on in regard to the quail
tiles of the Beaumont crude, and it
is not improbable that there will be
some excellent reasons given out soon
why this oil is much more valuable
than fuel oil. There are hints of the
work which does not show much on
the surface now, but which will later
on effect the situation when plans are
worked out. 1t has been said of this
oil that it can be refined to bring $40
barrel on the market.
AS to prospects Of field news, there
is none. The Kelley well anxiety will
be settled before Saturday night, but
how is another question. There are
no prospects for any new wells soon.

come so dry that it is worse than
none. Many cattlemen are now burn
ing cactus for their stock; it is very
poor food, but it keeps the cattle alive.
The farmers are not able to plant
crops and are in decidedly bad way.
Many stockmen are operating on Dor

they are facing absolute bankruptcy

Alvin, Texas. May 9.-There has
been considerable written about the
discovery of copper ore at Millican,
and Major G. W. Durrant, resident
Of this city, but who once owned a
farm near Millican, says some parties
brought three barrels Of copper ore
from sgck county to Millican as sam
pies The ore was stored in house
which burned down and the ore was
scattered over town. Years afterward
parties more recently settled there
would find some Of this ore and get
excited about 1t being local product.
He thinks without doubt that the ore
mention as having been discovered at
Millican was from this same lot, as
living in and near Millican for many
years he has never seen any indica-
tons of copper.
