THE EXC1TEMEMENT AND "OIL
FEVER" SPREADING FAR
BEYOND THE PROVEN
TERRITORY.1
The Lane Oil Well.

The work on the Lane oil well
was rested nearly the whole Of last
week, the small steam pump PROV
ing inadequate to the necessities.
BY two o'clock =. NJ. on the ,Jtb
inst, a much larger, Dean duplex,
pump was put in position and CON
nected up for the work. Under the
pressure that this new pump
afforded, together with other sub
stantial improvements in the APP
paratus, the work of boring went
ahead smoothly and rapidly
At little after sever o'clock in
the evening q good steady flow of
arteslan water was struck, which
flowed up and over the top of the
pipe, when opened for the placing
on of new section. This water
came up six or eight inches above
the surface. Coming up at the
same time in the pipe were d mum
Der of bubbles of gas, but the gas
in its free state would not ignite
from the flame of an applied match
The management of this we'll OBJ
jects to- saying to what depth they
have penetrated.
This information they regard as
being valuable and are not dispos-
ed to give it away freely. 1t is
certain however that they have
gone through some very peculiar
stratas and have reached a greater
depth than has ever been bored in
this immediate section by other
drillers.
The work on this well was rest
ed again this week, the stop being
caused by a delay in the shipment
of a lot of pipe. 1t is understood
that the work will be energetically
pushed forward as soon as the
pipe arrives.
On Tuesday afternoon, at a
depth of about 800 feet, oil was
struck in the Aladdin Vincent vel
at Vincent, La, just west of Lake
Charles. The we'll is not spouting,
but a steady flow is yielded from
both the outer 12-inch casing and
the a-ineh inner pipe, Mr.. Nincen
on Wednesday bought 22OO acres
more of land adjoining his well
for which he paid 1928, 900. OFF
ers of One thousand dollars al
acre for adjoining lands are bein|

relieve and the washes douches. pow
dels and inhalers in common use are
very little, il any better than the old
fashioned salt water douche.
The use Of inhalers, and the ap-
plication of salves, washes and pow
ders to the nose and throat to cure
catarrh is no more reasonable than
to rub the pack to cure kidney dis
ease. Catarrh IS just as much a
blood disease as kidney trouble or
rheumatism and it cannot be cured by
local treatment any more than they
can be.
To cure catarrh, whether in the
head, throat or stomach, an internal
antiseptic treatment is necessary to
drive the catarrhal poison out of the
blood and system. and the new ca
tarrh cure is designed on this plan
and the remarkable success of
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is because
being used internally It drives out
catarrhal infection through action up
on stomach, liver and bowels.
VIM. Zimmerman Of st, Joseph, re
lates an experience with catarrh
whicn is of value to millions of ca.
tarrh sufferers everywhere. He says.
Il neglected a slight nasal catarrh
until it gradually extended to my
throat and bronchial tubes and final
ly even my stomach and liver became
affected, but as | was able to keel
up and do a days work, left It run
along until my hearing began to fai
me and then realized that ! must get
rid of catarrh or lose my position as
l was clerk and my hearing was abso
lutely necessary.
Some of my friends recommend
ed an inhaler, another a catarrh salve
but they were no good in my case, nor
was anything else until ] heard OF
Stuarts CataTh Tablets and bought
a package at my drug store. They
benefited me from the start and in
less than foul months was complete
ly cured of catarrh although ! had
cufered nearly all my life from IL.
They are pleasant to take and so
much more convenient to use than
other catarrh remedies that | feel
cannot say enough in favor of stuart's
Catarrh Tablets"
A little book on cause and cure OF
Catarrh will be mailed free by ad-
dressing F. A. Stuart Co, Marshal
Mich. and the tablets are sold by all
druggists in the United States and
Canada.

but in the other parts Of the city are
many miles OF overhead wires
Five corpora tiOnSEthe Western Union

company ard the City of Chicago-have
decided on a plan of action.
The meeting of the representa- of
the five companies was held in City
Electrician Elliott's office. 1t was re-
form of a combination conduit which il
TO accommodate all the wires of the f .e
corporations.
The city will own the conduit, but the
four other corporations will have rights
equal to the city, with the exception of
built in Archer avenue from Nineteenth
street southwest for half a mile The
poles in this half mile carry 100 wires.
The conduit is to be three feet square.
City Electrician Elliott said: ct is
not proposed 10 build a conduit SO that
poratiOnS will share the expense. AS
soon as the cost Of the experiment is
learned an ordinance will be introduced
to put all wires under ground in every
section Of Chicago where there is ans
danger from overhead wires. am corr
hdent that the action of the telegraph
