Women and Jewels.

Jewels, candy, flowers, man
that is the order of woman s pref
erences. Jewels form a magnetic
mighty power to the average wo-
man. Fen that greatest of all
jewels, health, is often ruined in
the strenuous effort to save the
money to purchase them. If a
woman will risk her health to get
a coveted gem, then let her for
tify herself against the insiduous
consequences of coughs, colds
and bronchial affections by regu-
lar use of DR.. BOschee's German
Syrup. 1t will promptly arrest
consumption in its early stages
and heal the affected lungs and
bronchial tubes and drive the
dread disease from the system. 1t

cure for coughs, colds and all

Texas Fields Declining.

The Oil Investors Journal, pub
lished at Beaumont. Tex. takes a
gloomy view Of the business in
Texas and Louisiana, according to
the following report, published
October l:
Spindle Top continues to show
a steady decline in production.
Ten wells which made $4,000 bar
rels in July and 1000 in August
produced only 1900 barrels last
month This shows a decrease of
10000 barrels in two months.
The entire fild is probably not
making 1000 barrels of oil today.
Some wells are being pumped for
Q barrels. An average Of the field
will show that 80 barrels is a
high average per well. The price
of oil has been from 80 to ~ cents
in tanks.
The situation at Jennings has
not been materially altered since
the middle Of last month. On
September 20, the production Of
the field was put at $4,000 bar
rels.
The Bass and Benckstein No. 1
is furnishing nearly one-haIf of
the total output of the field. This
well has filled $4,000 barrels of
earthen tankage construction by
it's owners and at last accounts it
was flowing into the big Jennings,
Haywood ground tank. pending
completion of additional storage
by Bass and Benckstein.
1t is their intention to continue
the construction Of earthen tank
age until they have 100000 bar
rels of ground storage. Since
their No. ! well came in on Sep
TENDER s it has produced between
100000 and 100000 barrels Of oil.
County Commissioner II. F. Best
of Port Arthur. was in Beaumont
yesterday, stopping off a few
hours on business on his way from
BatsOn to- his home. "The pro-
duction of oil at Batson." said
Mr.. Best, is rapidly falling off.
I doubt very much if the field is
producing much over 10000 or 12,-
600 barrels a day. Some of the
wells are going dry and those
that are flowing or pumping are
going down fast"

HEATH IS DENOUNCED.

Democratic Senators on Postal Frauds.
WAsHINGTON, Jan. 6.-When
the Senate met today Mr.. Morgan's
resolution declaring that the Pres
ldent has no power to declare war
was read, but at the request of Mr..
Morgan it went over.
The resolution of Mr.. Carmack
directing the Postmaster General
to send to the Senate the papers
connectedsswith ..the Postoffice De
partment Irregularities and provi-
ding for a Senatorial Investigation
was taken up, and Mr., Lodge
moved its reference to the Commit
tee on Postoffices.
Mr.. Carmack resisted this motion,
declaring that if department irreg-
ular1t1es were to be investigated
only by the departments them
selves it would not be long until
they would be "a stencil in the
nostrils of the people" The only
safeguard was in Congressional
investigation, he said. He men,
toned number of such inquiries
which had brought out important
facts.
Mr.. Teller expressed the opinion
that the Postofice Department
would make a thorough investiga-
ton, but contended that the legis-
lative branch should retain the
right to make an inquiry.
Mr.. Lodge did not believe that an
investigation should be entered
into until the matter had been
inquired into by a committee.
Mr.. Clay expressed surprise that
there should be opposition to the
resolution, and he called attention
to the declaration by Mr.. Bristow
and Messrs Bonaparte and Conrad
that the investigation should be
carried further.
He declared that the Bristow
report demonstrates the absolute
guilt of the late First Assistant
! Postmaster General, Mr.. Heath.
He (Bristow) says himself that this
leading high official was guilty,
and the proof is overwhelming. If
this is true, Mr. Heath should have
been indicted. will do Mr..
Bristow the credit to say that his
report shows that the frauds
of the Postofice Department
originated in Heaths office. If so,
he must have had cognizance of
them. Then why should the sub
ordinates in that Office be indicted
and the principal be allowed to
escape ?"
