No Bounties.

My, Yom, Oct. l5,-Gloomy re-
ports of the condition of the British
West Indies are printed, and the
moral il drawn that the reassem-
bling OF the Brussels Congress lie in
dispensable to the revival of the
prosperity OF the sugar industry.
says the London correspondent of
the Tribune. The foreign office has
made strenuous efforts to secure the
reassembling of the Brussels Con
gress and the abolition of the con.
tinental bounties. A member OF
Parliament who makes a speciality of
the sugar question is authority for
the statement that the congress will
meet speedily and agree upon a
general abolition Of the 5ouuties.

An Honest Man.

When Harry Seanor of Wi!lett, Ipdi-

ago, he bought spotted horse from
John Hallstein Of Clay twp for S95:
but in paying out, that evening, two
new twenty-dollar bills stuck together
and Hallstein received S115. OF $50 too
much.
Seanor discovered his shortage shortly
after, but did not know TO whom it had
been paid and said nothing about it.
He was in Butler, again, last week.
and Halistein came here and reminded
him Of the affair and handed him the
SEQ biu-for which act of honesty he
should receive due credit from his neigh
bors. Harry bought twenty two horses
in Grove City and Butler paying from
$50 to S175 each for them and his puf-
chases this year in this vicinity, have
amounted 10 more than all the other
horse buyers together and he viii be

OH. NOTES.

THE MARKET Both agencies made
a cut of 3 cents, Monday, and the price
was $i21 though the Derrick SAYS:
The most striking feature OF the oil
report for March is the general decline
in new production in the Pennsylvania
and Lima oil fields. Both Pennsylvania
and Northwestern Ohio show decline
too, in completed wells, while Indiana
finished more than in February There
is decided gain in new operations in
the Pennsylvania regions, with slight
decrease in Ohio and Indiana. With
the passing of the Sand Fork pool there
is little left in the way of new develop
ments that are at all promising. Unless
the unexpected happens and new field
is opened up the production of high
grade petroleum is destined to decline
from now on.
Yesterday another cut Of cents
made the price Sl.25 and it is the same
this morning.
