MOLINE MENTION

group of terrified boys and girls
were huddled together in the police
court Saturday to answer to the
charge of wanton depredations at the
Ericsson school building last Satur-
day, Sunday and Monday. Those who
appeared in court are: Eschiel
Bloom, Vance Lockhart, Charles Al
len, Adolph Johnson, Huddie Berndt,
Eva Anderson, Edith Lundquist, Signe
Lofgren. From questions its seems
that as many as hundred children
have been in the habit of romping in
the building since the work of remod-
cling has commenced, some of them
for fun, others for mischief. The
chief offenders, the boys, who threw
the ink in the clock and on the walls
and doors, wrote obscene words on
the walls, broke the thermometer and
clock, did not show up this morning.
They are Elmer Gundberg, Al Stev-
ems and Will Pierson, and the second
named boys are reported as having
left town. Warrants are also out for
George Lind, Vern Archer and VIII
Gundberg.

enough to take the stock, however,
possibly three weeks, as early fall

OIL DEvELO PMENTs
THE OIL MARKET.

All of the drilling being done
and It never exceeded that of the
present season, fails to increase
Pennsylvania production. The av-
erage of wells completed IS very
small owing to widely scattered
operations In small territory, the
more prolific patches of territory In
the West Virginia and Southern
Ohio fields being Of small area. The
search for new territory Is persist
emit and when the active operations
of the numerous gas companies In
search for gas Is considered 1t Is
somewhat remarkable that more
new territory Is not discovered.
The larger companies, both oil and
gas. are very active with the drill
while the small operators show
some signs of WEAKNESS. The re-
suits for the average small produc-
er are too meagre. The boom Is
off Ohio and Indiana territory and
many whose prospects were at first
considered most bright are beginn.
ing to look for means to get out
even. Trading In Ohio and Indi
anna production short time since
was very active but now few chang
es are recorded. Large wells, the
reports of which are daily an.
nounced, fall to hold up and the
cost of bringing the oil to the sur.
face eats very big hole In profits.
Within sixty days demand for
high grade oils will set In and It Is
doubtful If this demand can be
filled. Home consumption of high
grade oil has been growing very
rapidly and the manufactures have
reaped large profits and their pros
pective profits for fall trade will I'm.
doubtedly make this their banner
year. The re6ners profits are greatly
In excess of the meagre allowances
given to producers. The alleged
competition of the independents has
developed into an apparent division
of profits at the expense of the
producers the purchasers and sellers

of oil evidently working hard In
glove for that end. The few dilect-
ly interested In the capital stock o.
these concerns seem highly pleased
with present conditions. These
conditions may not continue In
their present profitable manner
because the problem of sup.
ply Is becoming rather seri-
Gus for the future and the
markets are growing. OH pro.
ducers as class know little and
seemingly care less about the mar
kets. Custom has made slaves of
them. They have been accustom.
ed to submit to conditions forced
upon them so long that they no
longer study conditions. What
other industry Is there In the whole
world where producers have so
little to say? Producers of oil have
absolutely nothing to say as to the
disposition of their product. Their
tanks are connected with the pipe
line controlled by the Standard OH
Company or one where no greater
benefit occurs, their oil Is taken
from the tanks on the gauge of the
pipe line, their tanks are locked
and the key Is In possession of a
pipe line representatives. The
books for the amount of oil run to
their credit Is kept In the Office of
the pipe line compeny and they are
forced to take what ever price for
their oil that this pipe line COM
pany may chalk up on their black
boards. Truly the oil producers
are a helpless mob. John
D. Rockefeller and his associates
are wise enough to know
Just to what degree of serfdom they
have reduced the oil producers but
they are careful to occasionally
throw out a little sop to keep the
producers In peaceable humor as
to encourage them into the belief
that they may have better prices.
Standard oil dividends are the best
illustration of the extent of serfdom
to which oil producers have been
reduced. IS and 4S per cent divi-
dends have been earned for John
u. Rockefeller and his associates by
the oil producer. There Is not a
bright spot on the horizon. Mems
ambitions are destroyed, and except
In few instances, their years OF en-
ergy and toll bring them small,
very small returns. There
Is no other class of men In the
whole world endowed with the
same intelligence who would peace
fully submit to the continued flch-
Ing that has been practiced upon the
oil producers.

proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat

COMMERCIAL CLUBS, coNvEN.

The South is receiving q very
large influx of immigration
through the activity of it's com
mercial clubs, its industrial, agri-
cultural and manufacturing associ-
ations, and through the earnest
efforts of the Industrial and immi-
grafton agents of the North, who
are fully alive to the opportuni-
ties of this region. To systemat-
ize and augment the movement a
convention willb e held, under the
auspices of the New Orleans Pro
gressive Union, of the commercial
clubs and kindred bodies of the
South, in the city of New Orleans
on January "a and Is, The con-
vention will be called to order
promptly at ten O'Clock on We'd
nesday, the 18th, and proceed at
once to business without formal
preliminary addresses, In the
evening of the same day it will sit
in joint meeting with the South
eastern Passenger Association,
composed of railroads of the south
eastern territory, at which adj
dresses will be made by promi-
nent railroad men whose lines are
associated with the movement.
Among the speakers at this meet
ing will be Mr., s. F. B. Morse.
Passenger Traffic Manager of the

is probable that every community

closes an article taking exceptions
to certain portions of The Herald s
omment on the whitecap resolu-

thing our esteemed contemporary
of The Herald may rest assured,
and that is, that Sheriff Apple

of Lincoln have had quite enough
of whitecapism and are resolved to
put it down, whether practiced by
whitecappers or labor agents. :"
We are glad to hear and believe
this. For the law-abiding citizens
of Lincoln county The Herald has
all respect and sympathy. AS to
