TEXAS OIL FIELD.


Mrs M. Il. Van Wagonen, supervisor
of drawing in the public schools of
Pittsburg, has returned TO her duties.
after an absence of one month in the
oil fields of Texas. Mrs. Van Wagon
en- was the guest of Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam Proctor, formerly of Oil City, Pa,
but now of Corsicana, Texas, where
Mr.. Proctor is located in the interest
of an oil refining plant representing an
investment of half a million dollars of
Northern capital. Speaking of her trip
Mrs. Van Wagonen said:
"The greasy fluid is now so plentiful
in Corsicana that the sandy reads are
sprinkled with it instead of water. On
the East side, as the oil section is
known, the Oil derricl1s rise like forest
trees and are so thickly located that
they almost touch each other. They
have pushed their way up through the
little settlement of cottages, obliterat-
ing some of the dwellings, carrying
away sheds and kitchens from others
and so closely encompassing them that
the occupants must have an uneasy
time of ut.
"Oil is used both as an illuminant
and fuel. l was told that for the II
months prior to December 1, 1900, the
production of oil was 7,469 barrels,
an increase of 146.1 barrels over s-e
same period in 1899. There are now
$40 producing wells, an increase of las
over last year. The company in which
my friends are interested is paying
producers monthly for their Oil about
$4,000.
Accommodations for the earlier pros
pectors we're mcagre. Newcomers,
however, are rapidly building their
own homes. The oil operators bring
their own crews with them. IL does
not take long to build houses, as the
Corsicana houses have no foundations
or cellars Two-story houses are the
rule. Although there are a number of
plCJCuIlOuS Illt ulSGIuCJ, WllCu
compare favorably with Northern dwell
lings. Senator Roger Q. Minis occu-
pies a pretty residence in Cors.cana of
Southern style of construction.
water supply for the dwellings is
derived from artesian wells. Oil is
now used to operate the two cotton
seed mills and the cotton gin of Cor
sicana.
The social side of life in Corsicans
is no small factor. The women drive
daily and make calls. There are con-
certs, theater parties, receptions and
teas. The women talk oil IN their so
cial rounds as enthusiastically as Lne
men. Corsticana has good schools,
churches and philanthropic institu-
tions, also a park and public build
ings"

MARKED COIN
For Quarter Of a Century Il Went Round
the Country.

Sioux City, Ia--Twenty-fve years
ago, while working in the blacksmith
shop of J. w. Shelter. at Stoughton.
Wis, Harvey Hawman, ex-Chief Of
Police of Sioux City, stamped the let
tiers, -. w. S." his employers initials,
on half dollar. This week that same
coin, without any doubt, was handed
to him over the counterof his fish, mar
ket in Sioux City. In that period OF
time it has jingled in the pockets Of
perhaps thousands of persons and
Travelled miles and miles across the
country and back, only to land finally
in the hands of the man who had
marked it with letters of an unmlstak
able character. Never was a man more
completely surprised than was Mr..
Hawman. In spite of the fact that he
had not Thought of it in the quarter Of
a century since he last saw it, he rec
ognized it at one. He proposes to
keep it now.

MEANEST HUSBAND
In All the World Beats Wife to Make Her
Pray.

Denver, Col-Mrs. Emma Fitzgerald
wants "a divorce from Charles F'itzger-
aid, because he makes her pray too
much, and because he whips her when
she refuses to comply with his de-
mands. The papers have been filed
by her attorney in the District Court,
Recently, according to the petition,
Fitzgerald drove his wife out of bed
and compelled her to repeat paternos-
ters while kneeling on the floor in a
cold room and scantily clad, until she
tainted from exhaustion. Other acts
of cruelty are alleged, but forcing his
wife to pray seems to be the form Of
torture which gives the man the most
satisfaction. Mrs. Fitzgerald, as soon
as she was able to evade her husband,
vigilance, ran home to her mother,
Mrs. N. D. Award, and Immediately
sent for a lawyer. She was married
to Fitzgerald July 10th, 1900.

OIL FIELDS
Of Kentucky Are Receiving Some Attention
From OIL Men.

Kentucky as producer OF crude pc.
troleum is rapidly coming TO the front
The National Transit company is ship
ping oil from two different points in
this State, namely: Somerset, Pulaski
county, and White House, Johnson
county, and there is a strong probabil-
ity of two new shipping depots being
shortly put in operation, one in Knox
county, and one in Floyd county, while
the drillers are busy in several more
counties, happily, with satisfactory re-
suits.
In the near future oil men will have
the satisfaction of knowing what the
result of deep hole drilling will dem
onstrate in Kentucky. The Penn Lu
Ibricating company, operating inWayne
county, KY, has decided to make a
test we'll of it's No. on the Sandusky
farm, and for that purpose has ordered
"a 5000 foot cable. This we'll was a
very small producer. and nitro-glycer
inc was used in an effort to improve it.
1t was shot with 20 quarts and showed
a slight Improvement. 1t was then shot
with 60 quarts, cleaned out, declared
dry hole, and is now to be drilled three
thousand feet deep.
The Beaver and Otter creek wells
that are being pumped, some cf whicn
were drilled years ago, and those drill
led during the year 1900, like the Bob's
Bar well in Tennessee, pump the same
number of barrels daily with the reg
ularity of clock works. It Is this fact
the staying qualities cf these wells
that is sure sooner or later to attract
the attention of capital and persever-
ance that will make Kentucky and
Tennessee famous as oil producing
States.
Tho Somerset Oil company is now
drilling a wildcat well at Sunnybrook,
Wayne county, KY, that is causing
good deal of comment This well is
to be drilled 1000 feet deep, if neces-

drilled at Otter Creek, is steady g.
barrel producer.
OIL IN TENNESSEE.
The Bob's Bar we'll is still pumping
away at its usual gait-about 20 barrels
per day of the finest kinG of Oil.
The Inter State ComDany's well at
the mouth of the Dark Hollow, near
Riverton, commenced spudding Tues
day. This we'll will be pushed to- COM
pletion as soon as possible.
At the Cusack well near Riverton
they commenced roaming Tuesday.
This we'll has produced some oil and is
thought to be ~ profitable well when
they get it reamed down and cased. =

VIM. o Muhlhausen, the Ellin wood

harness on exhibition at the Barton
county fair that was greatly admired

another year every man who manu-.

take pride in showing the same at the
county fair, and thus aid in making
that institution a success.
The old man attended. the Great
Bend fair. and the strangest sight
that met his eyes at the fair was to
see the people 60 up to the gate and
pay their money to 60 in when nothing
but wire fence shut out the sights.
