West Virginia daily oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1894-1902, 1902-04-14

One of the largest oil deals ever
negotiated Ia the State of West
Virginia was consummated Satur-
day between Benedum Bros, who
have their holdings at Fish Creek
and Little Germany district, near
Cameron, and the Carter Oil Com :
pany. The Standard has for some
days past been negotiating with
Benedum Bros. In Pittsburg and
Saturday the purchase came to a
head.
Bendum Bros. had very rich ter
ritory In these localities and we un-
derstand the price was $500. oco
cash.
This gives the Standard absolute
control of this, the richest oil field
In West Virginia.
The Benedums were the Stand
ards most formidable rivals and the
Pr ce paid represents a small part
Of the expenditure of the trust to
put this firm out of business, as
there has been one of the heaviest
line fights on between Benedum
Bros. land the S. P. o. company that
has ever been experienced In a
West Virginia oil field.
No doubt the Benedum Bros. Co.
will extend their operation In other
localities, as they have immense
holdings In Ohio, Kentucky and
In Monopgalia and Marion counties,
this State.
The purchase of this property
not only gives the Standard con-
tiol OF the production In Marshall
county, bat will no doubt shut the
Pure Oil company's pipe line out of
this territory.
Benedum Bros. had about one
half of the production on Fish
creek and In Little Germany.
Toere will not be enough indepen.
dent production left In the field to
justify the extension of the indie
pendent pipe line. The sale was
made by T. R. Cowell, broker of
this city.

Local and Personal Happenings


Following are extracts from Mr..
Roosevelts last lay sermon before
tragedy elevated him to the presi-
dency. 1t was In the Trinity Re-
form Church, Chicago and the text
was "Be ye doors of the word, not
hearers only" He said:
Zone of the most abhorrent
traits of character a man can pos.
sess, In my estimation,is hypocrisy.
We all have met men who go
about clothing themselves In
Scriptural teachings, yet whose
conduct towards their fellowmen
shows that they do not live up to
the teaching love thy neighbor as
thyself.' The great thing In this
world for us to be Is doors. Of
course to be dcers we must be hear
ers That Is, we must go TO church
and study the Bible; but our duty
does not end there. We should
give a helping hand to others by
spreading the word of Christ. It
Is we'll enough to tell man what

he ought to do. but this must be
supplemented by some practical
demonstration of application. By
the doors in my text l
mean those who 60 to church, and,
hearing preached from the pulpit
the doctrine of brotherly love, 60
into their homes or into their busi-
ness and apply what they have
heard. In your blu siness and work
ifyou let Christian'fy stop when you
leave the church door there Is not
much righteousness In you. Nor
are you any too righteous If your
Christianity stops at the threshold
of your home. The man who car
ries Christianity into his every day
work stands a better chance of
making success of life than one
who does not. The fellow who
works for fee only and does the
least to get his money will In the
long run prove dismal failure.
Every nan should strive to do
justice to himself, but In doing so
he should not forget the rights of
his neighbor. He should be sure
that he Is In the right, and then
stand squarely In the path. If
there Is any moving to be done, let
the other fellow do 1t. This ap-
piles to nations as we'll as to In.

Presidents Physician Who Has
Been to the Island Sees I'm
minent Danger.
Says War Is Probable If Palma
Is Allowed to Assume
Presidency.
Believes the Only Solution Of
the Question Is In An.
nexati0n.

Richmond Va, Feb. life Estrada
Palma, the newly chosen president OF
Cuba, ever lands on that island there
will follow Immediately revolution
between the whites and blacks there
which will again tear the islands to
pieces
This is the prediction of DR.. Leonel
de Peau, now in this city, who was
physician to Col. Theodore Roosevelt
now president. during the war in the
island between the Spanish and Amer
lean forces. Further, DR.. de Peau says
that Palma was never wanted as presi-
dent by the better element, and that the
moment the United States troops are
within there will be another conflict.
Annexation. says DR.. de Peau, is the
only solution of the present situation
Cuban sugar planters can not move the
crop. They have no money and no
means of raising any without giving
from is to % per cent on ii. and he
thinks the spirit of internal dissension
will tear the island to pieces again, and
that the United States will be COM
PEELED to take possession.
This is what is desired by the better
element, Spanish and Cuban alike, he
declares, and he Is now on his way to
Washington to see President Roosevelt
and tell him about the conditions on
the island
Senior de Peau came to the United
States to see President Roosevelt per-
scnaHy in the matter of the loss of his
family fortune in Cuba. Vast tracts
says, have been sold there, and among
them the private interests of hundreds
of residents OF the island.
Now he says hundreds are starving
on the island, the United States is
pouring flood of labor there instead of
utilizing the labor at hand, and the re-
suit is that, altho three years have
elapsed since the close of the war.
Cuba has made little progress. because
Of the fact that there is no money.
Further. said DIR. de Peau, 1.-THE
situation there Is growing worse. With
the withdrawal of the American SOL
diers and the landing Of Palma. II he
is permitted to land there will be q
new war.
THE only relief that the United
States can offer us outside of annexa-
ton is the resembling of the present SUI
gar tariff, so that planters who now
have great deal of sugar can ship it..
Cheap immigration to Cuba should be
stopped. We now have more negroes
than we can handle. and we do not
want any more. The importation of
American negroes to Cuba has been one
of the worst things we have had to deal
with.
Palma is not the president for us.
The whites wanted Masso. Palma
knows nothing about Cuba: he had not
been there for years, and does not know
the conditions
During the fighting around Santiago
DR.. de Peau attended Col. Roosevelt
during an attack of fever. He is one of
the most noted physicians of Cuba. He
will depart for Washington today

GOODWIN WILL COMMAND.
Chief Of Worlds Fair Guards APP
pointed by Secretary Root.

l
Washington. Dec. 14.-Maj. Edward
A. Goodwin will command the Jefferson
Guard, or police organization, at the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition In st.
/ Louis. Orders were issued last evening
| over the signature of the secretary OF
war, Mr. Root, for the major to go at
once to st. Louis and there report to
| the president of the exposition COM
pany. Mr. d. r. Francis.
| The selection Of Maj. Goodwin was a
personal one with the secretary of war.
He did not solicit the duty, nor has he
asked his friends to do so for him. His
first intimation OF his selection came
during the recent visit to Washington of
President Francis. The. major was sent
for and introduced to Mr.. Francis Gen.
| Corbin suggested the nature of the duty
at ST. Louis and asked whether 1t
would be acceptable to him. He was
so surprised at the suggestion that he
asked for time to consider 1t. He was
not aware that decision was made
and that an order was issued until the
information was carried to him while
he was at dinner last evening at the
Portland. where ne has apartments.
NAL Goodwin is we'll known in St
Louis He commanded the Seventh
Regiment of immunes, which was mo-
bilized at Jefferson barracks. The reg
iment included Charles ID. Comfort as
lieutenant colonel and ]. ]. Mayes and
other Missourians as officers. thru
whom Maj. Goodwin made many
friends. After the Seventh Immunes
Was mustered out of service he became
colonel of the Fortieth Volunteers and
saw much active service, and in which
he was, also associated with number
CT officers from Missouri. During the
last six months the major has been a
member of the board of review here in
Washington, which passes upon the ex-
animation papers and general qualifl-
cations OF officers seeking commissions
in the regular establishment.
The major said last evening: "The
information of the order by the war de-
partment for me to go to ST. Louis has
rot been conveyed to me officially. 1
had not heard of decision in the mat
ter before. Until confer with the Of
ficials and receive my orders can
say nothing as to my plans. In a gen
eral way l know that the plan for the
organization for the fair guards or
policing fore are to follow closely
upon those of the similar organization
at Chicago. suppose there will be
many applications for places from for
mer members of the regular army and
veterans of the war with Spain. These
will make excellent material. as they
will be familiar with military disci-
pine and will readily fall into the rout-
Inc of an efficient organization"

Officials of the Protestant Alliance
say the matter will not be allowed to
rest here, and that procedure will be
brought in the high court on applica-
ton for a writ of mandamus. but the
belief is current that Mr.. Kennedy's de-
cision is based on the advice and sug-
gestions of high government officials,
notably Attorney General Sir Richard
Webster and the solicitor general, Sir
Robert Finley.
The government does not desire to
engender religious feuds at home. or
