FINE FUTURE FOR TEXAS.
High Island and Spindle Top in the
Beaumont District Big Paying
Properties.

High Island, Tex Oct. 5.-The remark.
able activity in the oil business continues
undated at this point and all who have
money invested in this neighborhood are
pleased with the prospects as well as the re-
suits which have already been obtained. A
brilliant future is certainly in store for this
section on account of the valuable oil wells
which are now flowing in the most profitable
manner-literally golden stream. The Boil
ivar and Big Four companies have valuable
wells flowing. Those well informed upon
the situation say that the property OF the
United States Fuel Oil company here is an
exceedingly rich one and is sure to reap a
large profit for the stockholders of this
company.
Spindle Top, Tex, Oct. 5.-There are now
nearly half a hundred oil wells in operation
in this place, which is close to the celebrated
Beaumont oil fields of this state. The aver
age daily output of oil is 10000 barrels and
this is being rapidly increased as the dis
trict is being developed. The feeling here
is that BORN gs in certain districts cannot fail
to strike oil and consequently property val
ues have gone up tremendously. The Off
GERS of the United States Fuel Oil company
feel that they have been very fortunate in
securing little more than dozen acres of
land in the immediate vicinity of oil wells
that are already paying big money and citi-
Zens here believe they are right.

"I suffered for months with
troubles peculiar to women which
gradually broke down my health and
my very life. 1 was nearly insane
with pain at times, and no human
skill 1 consulted in Milwaukee could
bring me relief.
NV attention was called to Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound i; the first bottle brought re-
lief, and the second bottle an absolute
cure. l could not believe it myself,
and felt sure it was only temporary,
but blessed fact, have now been well
for year, enjoy the best of health,
and cannot in words express my graf
itude. Sincerely yours, SADIE E. Koch,

forfeit If aboUe testimonial is not genuine.
Such unquestionable testimony
proves the power of Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound over
diseases of women.
Women should remember that
they are privileged to consult
Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass.s
about their illness, entirely free.

This is an era Of experiments in
food, says the New York Tribune.
Scientific Investigators in Europe,
after thorough test of a horseflesh
diet, say that this sort of meat, when
the use of it is continued for time,
tends to lessen the weight of the con
sumner, whether man or beast. The
physiological sages have come to the
conclusion that the choicest steaks
and roasts from the latest colts and
FLIES are inferior to beef or veal,
mutton, lamb or ham in sustaining
vital force and preventing decline in
strength. This is puzzling, because
horses are as clean feeders as cattle
or sheep, and much cleaner than pigs.
How can it be accounted for?
