The statistics of the petroleum output for last year, as shown by advance sheets of a report of the geological sur vey. show a marked increase in the production of Russia, and an increase in that of the United States, which gives us the lead. Russia furnished 45.44 per cent. of the worlds output. and the United States 45.64 per cent. The Dutch East Indies furnished three per cent.

Plain clothes in all weights and every shade are more in vogue than those of 3 fancy make and short walking skirts fur boleros as far as color is concerned. Some. too, will have fur edgings, which remind me by the way, that fur will be used as trimming on some of the best gowns.

brother.in- law and family, and

dropping the bed and it's occu.
pants into the chilly water. The
clothing of the lady, and their
baggage, was completely soaked.
The bed of the fording is full of
ugly stones which caused the
break. If some of those who op-
pose the building of county
bridges could be doused into the
cold water at those fordings a
few times, their minds would
change IN regard to the necessity
of bridges.

NJ LIE VIUIe DdTDeT SDOp Al MODS
vile, and Entire Outfit, Looted.
On Monday night of last week
the barber shop of A. L. While
at Knobsville, was entered by
means of a false key, and practl.
cally, his whole barber outfit,
consisting of twelve razors, five
razor boxes, one pair barber
shears, one pair clippers, and
several brushes, was carried off.
The supposition Is, that some one
jealous of the success of Mr..
While as a tonsorial ADEPT, led
them to thus attempt to injure
him. Mr.. While offers reward
of S25 for infor nation which will
lead to the arrest and conviction
OF the guilty party or parties. A
cordial invitation Is extended to
tle persons 10 try again, as a new
outfit has been procured; but let
them understand that the conse.
quence of such an attempt will
mean trouble.
What makes the outrage most
dastardly is the fact that Mr..
While has, by persistent efforts
to accommodate and please his
many customers, and, in fact,
everybody, made him popular and
successful, especially his three
years service at Walnut Grove
camp meeting, where his success
was fattering. We hope that the
guilty may be brought to justice
soon, and an example be made,
which may put stop to such
work. "X."
