Lucky Feeders,

When Texas meal fed cattle bring
from SO to $G.25 per hundredweight, as
they have been doing recently, it shows
that there IS nothing the matter with
the demand. Texas feeders are highly
satisfied with the results, and the only
regret Is that they did not have more
nerve and buy more feed last fall and
feed more cattle. A good many were
scared out of the notion of feeding be-
cause meal and hulls were held at such
high figures. Results, however, are
showing that the men who fed are
making good profits, and the fellow
who didn't feed now wishes he had.

At the pOstOffice, Gen. McGinniS
has ready for shipment to New York
one of the battleflags of the Eleventh
Indiana regiment. to be placed in
the tomb of Gen. u S. Grant. This
is being sent at the request of Gen.
Dodge. one of the trustees of the
tomb. who has asked each of the
states for two flags to hang in the
tomb. When the request was receiv
ed here it was found that all of the
regiments had turned their colors
over to the state with the exception
of the Eleventh.
This regiment has always closely
guarded the tattered remnants of its
flags At the time of the unwilling
of the Indiana Soldiers Monument
the regfmental association held
meeting and voted to send one of it's
flags to New York and the others
were sent to the state house for safe
keeping, as they were becoming so
decayed with age that they were fall
ing to pieces.
Owing to the tattered condition of
the flag, blue silk banner, eighteen
by twenty-four inches, was made to
accompany it. and on this the names
of the battles of the regiment were
with the regiment at the organization
of the Thirteenth army corps. and
was carried in every engagement of
that part of the army until the time
Gen. Grant left it.
When the regiment left for the
front at the beginning OF the war.

of the McHenry house. One of the
Prather boys was there talking up
the prospects of the oil at Pithole.
Booth became interested. He be-

by a window, and as he talked he
scratched his full name, John Wilkes
Booth. on one OF the panes of the
window with the diamond in a ring
he wore. The upshot of Booths talk
with Prather was that he invested
5000 in PithOle property.
The Prather boys had bought the
Holmden well for 100000 and sold
it for more than 100000 The
Homestead well, in which Booth had
his $4,000 investment, was only one
of dozen equally large spouting

Arthur Guiterman in New York Times
1.-The tidings that the war was over
had reached the oil regions, and the
American flag was flying from the
top of every derrick. The one thun-
derbolt of that storm at Pithole
struck the rig of the Homestead well
and set it on fire.
when, next day, the news of the
assassination of Lincoln by Booth
came to Pithole that city was over
hung by a dense pail of black smoke
from the burning Homestead we'll
AS far away as Oil City the ominous
black pillar was seen hanging against
the sky over Pithole.
The fact that the assassin Booth
owned part of the Homestead well
at once occurred to all at Pitho1e,
and when it was learned that the
bolt had descended upon it at the
very hour and minute that Booth
had fired the shot the coincidence
seemed so significant that every eff
fort that had been made to extin-
guish the fire at the well and stop
the great waste of wealth every lap
of the flames was adding to, ceased
on the moment, and the very spot
was Stunned by all but the others
interested in the well, who at last
succeeded in getting control over the
flames.
The moment the news of the
sassination reached Meadvil1e, fndig-
nant guests at the McHenry house,
MeadviIIe, would have shattered to
fragments the window whereon
Booth had inscribed his name few
months before, but the proprietor of
the hotel succeeded in saving it, as
he had a thrifty eye to it's future
value. He removed the offensive
pane from the window, and subse-
Quently sold it for a good price to

scented it to the Pennsylvania histori-
