TOLEDO, o, Dec. 26.-The good price OF
crude oil has had the desired effect in the
way OF stimulating the drill. as the figures
for DEFENDERS operations show. During
diana 77s wells were completed, with only
Is dry holes or gas wells. the balance hav-
ing a daily output of 1864 barrels, an
average Of about 1875 barrels to the well
This is a rather small average and shows
that the new crop Of wells is not as good
as in the early days of the field. The aver
age Of the Indiana wells is better than of
those Of northwestern Ohio.
During the month 391 wells were completed
In the Indiana field, with a new production
OF 5769 barrels and IA dry holes or gas
wells. The Grant county field leads all
others in the two States in both completed
work and new production, as well as in
new work under way. Wells county did
very well during the month in all branches
Huntington and Blackford counties are both
after second place. while Jay and Adams
counties are active. Delaware county is
about holding it's own, while Randolph is
on the down grade. The ST Louis Oil Com
pany. that holds lease on the wonderful

Judge Hord, at Columbus, Decides
that a Legal Majority Remon-
strated Against Them.
DIR. STOTT INTERESTED

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
COLUMBUS, Ind, Dec. 26-A long legal
battle between the anti-saloon people of
Franklin and the saloon men came to an
end to-day when Judge Hord, of the Bar
tholomew county Circuit Court decided
that in the case being tried the remonstrat-
ors were a majority.
For nearly a year the anti-saloon ele-
ment of Franklin has been attempting to
stamp out the liquor traffic. In several
cases remonstrances were effective and
when John E. Kennedy. Isaac McClain and
John Herter applied for license in the First
ward, the demonstrators went to work.
jority of the voters in the ward where the
liquor was to be sold and on the day the
applications were presented to the Com
missioners the remonstrance was also pre-
scented. The Commissioners refused to
grant the license and the saloon men
promptly took an appeal to this county
and the cases were tried here.
The demonstrators came down from
Franklin by the score and testified against
the saloon men, one of the men taking the
most prominent part in the suit being DIR.
w. T. Stott, president of Franklin College.
The only question at issue was the fact of
a majority and Judge Hord decided that
the remonstrance contained the names of
a legal majority of the eligible voters. BY
agreement the decision in this ca Sc decided
the other two, so the temperance forces
have won a complete victory.

GLASSWORKERS TO PAY
rs PER CENT. OF WAGES
Assessment of Employed Blowers
for the Benefit of the Idle Mem
bers of the Trade.
SOME REFUSE TO PAY

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Dec. 26.-Follow-
ing the distribution of $4,000 by the old and
new l.. A 300 TO the idle window glass
workers, came a Christmas present to the
members of the two associations who are
employed.
1t was an assessment of Is per cent Of
their wages, which will be used as a spe-
cial fund TO be given to a relief fund for
the idle men who are out of work as a
result Of the blowing machines of the
American. The assessment came as a sur
prise to the employed men in the human
blower factories, where nearly all are work.
Ing on profit-sharing plan. 1t is under
stood some of the workers who do not
know whether they are in or out of the or
ganization, because they went to work, will
refuse to pay ii until they find out what
action the organization intends to take to-
ward them.
The attachment OF the $4,000, which
Pierre Larmoyeux, OF this city, has tied up
In the hands of the Federation Glass
Company for $3.50 funeral bill for former
member of L. A. &c., probably will be
satisfied in a few days and the money re-
leased.

ABDUCTION INCIDENT
LEADS TO Il WEDDING
Marion Girl and the Youth She
Accused United in Marriage
Case Is Not Dismissed.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MARION, Ind, Dec. 26.-The marriage of
Vertie McGraff and Miss Nettie Booher,
of this city, is to-days sequel to a kid
naping incident of few days ago. Serious
charges still stand against McGraff, against
his father. Edward McGraff; against Car
RE Milman and Madame Vantley, clair
voyant, who is also a hypnotist. Abduc-
ton is the accusation and the trials of the
quartet are set for jan s.
The Vantley woman alleges that she took
Nettie Booher as a boarder in her Alex
andria home, but the allegation of the girl
made to the Alexandria and Marion police
Thursday was TO the effect that she had
been forcibly removed from Marion by the
two McGrafs and hypnotized and locked in
a room at Alexandria by the clairvoyant.
Carrie Milman is charged with aiding in
the abduction.
The cause for the young woman's re-
moval was the approach of trial of Vertie
McGraff, in which she is the prosecuting
witness. Her marriage with the young
man will not stop the prosecution of those
alleged to be concerned in the abduction.

CANADIAN VESSELMEN
WANT LAWS CHANGED
They Desire Canals to Be Kept
Open on Sunday and that Har-
Dor Dues Be Cut Off.

TORONTO, Dec. 26.-Some radical
changes in the navigation laws of the coun-
try are being urged by the Marine Engi-
neers' Association of the Dominion. The
executive committee was in session at the
King Edward Hotel during the week. Vari-
Gus proposed changes in the laws were dis
cussed A dozen members were present,
representing the entire Dominion. c. F.
Gildersleeve, of Montreal, presided, and
Francis King, of Kingston, acted as secre-
tary.
The real work of the occasion was con-
fined to preparations for the annual meet
ing of the organization at Ottawa in the
spring. Formal action and resolution will
be the action of the full membership when
the annual meeting is held. The general
feeling of those in the business is that
the extraordinary industrial progress of
the Dominion has been out of all proper
tons to the conception of those framing
the present marine laws. This was the tone
of the meeting. Evidently the progressive
ship owners are determined TO secure legis-
lation that will put the Canadian marine
ship owners in the States.
One of the most important discussions
was that on the question of permanently
abolishing canal dues and keeping the
canals open on Sunday. The government
has SUSPENDED canal dues for two years, but
vessel men point out that permanent bene-
fit depends on the absolute abolition of
these dues that no big firm will undertake
investments that rest on an enlarged bust
ness on the lakes when the dues may be
reimposed in the course of two months.
Again, vessel men declare that the period
of navigation on the great lakes is too
brief naturally, and that to further di-
minish the time one-seventh is a serious
obstacle TO the business. Especially is this
true in view of the close competition which
Canadian shipowners must meet from the
Americans. The Erie canal, they assert, is
never closed night day, and this gives
the States an advantage that is hard to
combat.
The question of harbor dues and govern
ment wharfage is another that change
is proposed in. 1t was asserted that the
dues as at present frequently exceed the
freight revenue where a boat has but a
small cargo TO discharge, yet the port
must be made. Then, again, boats some
times desire to put in at night or during
stress of weather when they have no other
object in making port, therefore the
charges should be regulated from more
practical standpoint.

true that the earth supplies US with every

that the earth supplies US with the means

only knew it1 The animals know by in
stiuct what 10 good for them and will search
until they find Ia some plant what they
need for correcting indigestion or constipa-
ton, etc. Is il, therefore, not possible that
there are roots and herbs supplied by nature
which will cure the diseases that aflict
human kind That Is why DR. Pierce, Of
Buffalo, N Y, has such faith In his MED
ical Discovery" Years ago, when he was
IN general and active practice, he found
that a combination Of certain herbs and
roots made into an Alternative extract, with
out the use of alcohol, would always put
the stomach into healthy condition, rour-
ish the tissues, feed the blood and nerves
and put healthy tone into the whole
system.

the stomach and other organs of digestion
