NEW SCHOOL HOUSES.



A number of Vermont towns, and Wood
stock is one, are going in for new school
houses, but all for the glorious cause Of
education it is to he hoped that other
communities will not have rs much trou-
BILE as Woodstock has had. Five special
town meetings have been held since the
annual meeting, ana outsiders can
ina ginc the amount of talk, discussion
and sOng-and dance turns the people have
had to endure. Three meetings were re-
quired to locate a school building at South
Woodstock and on Tuesday the town
voted for the second time on the question
whether it should appropriate $4,000 or
s35. 900 for a new building in this village.
Other towns may take warning. Not an.
| however, are as free with tim" and
breath nor as crowded with citizens
ready and willing to drop business and
everything else and while away few
hours at town meeting. 1t is n fortunate
provision of the Law that allows meet
ing to be held only once in two weeks.
Woodstock, however. did itself credit at
the last muster Of voters and has broken
ground for a fine school building.

Up In the Clarendon field In War
rem county, Penn, the Standard OH
company have some competition OF
the right sort. John Ellis & Co. are
pay ing IS cents barrel premium
for oil In Warren and Elk county
fields and are extending their pipe
lines into Forest county. The
Standard Oh company In the face
of the Anti discrimination laws, in
order to meet and check the com
petition are carrying oil for pipe
age charge of 10 cents per barrel
and are carrying credit balances
free of storage for period OF six
months. 1t Is only competition
that is competition that can benefit
the oil producers.
The pretentions of the Pure Oh
company to a competitlou of the
Stan dard where 1t always buys and
sells on Standard quotations can
scarcely benefit any except the few
refners who are making the enor'
nous profits of the business.
John Ellis & Co. are also In the
refining business and 1t Is very
evident that they find that the
prices they receive for refined
products In "lhe markets of the
world" justi6es them In paying
advanced prices over those OF the
Standard OH company or in other
words, In order that they may
secure a supply of crude
they are willing to make a more
satisfactory division with tie pro-
ducers. The price Is $3.50 per
barrel fixed In the Seep purchasing

Oil company to not one that will

class of territory from which the
supply of high grade oil Is being
attained. The stocks of oil are
being reduced but the reduction
must necessarily be slow because
the condition of the oil Is such that
1t Is available for shipment only by

GREAT WESTERN TO OMAHA.
Officials Expect to Open Up New Line
by the Last of The Year.

New York, May 9.-Otficials of the
Chicago Great Western say they expect
to be running trains into Omaha by the
end of December next. The men who
have charge of the work report that
they are not meeting any unexpected
difficulties and there appears to be
nothing impending that will lead to
further delays.
When this work was undertaken
President Stickney estimated it would
not be completed before April, 1904,
during which month he hoped that
trains would be running into both Oma-
ha and Sioux City. The plan of the
Great Western management in con-
tracing for these extensions was to
convert railroad built to carry light
traffic at high rates into a road that
can carry heavy traffic at low rates
and to produce traffic. The estimate
of increase in the earning thru the OPP
Grafton Of the new lines is $l,000,000 net
per annum.

This waste can not be :aplenished and

set up. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure enables
the stomach and digestive organs to
