POPS
BRYAN and Hearst Said to be
Active.
Mr. Bryan Said To Have Advised
Pops to Hold Convention.

Washington, March There is
authority for the statement that Mr..
BRYAN and Mr. Hearst ard possibly
Charlie Towne were potent factors in
inducing the old Populist leaders to
get together again for a national con-
yeptiou this year Just preceding the
Democratic national convention. The
Populists have decided to hold their
convention in Springfield, Ill. on July
4. while the Democrats will meet in
ST. Louis on July Is, as already an
nounced.
II is understood that the Pops will
await the nominations in the Demo
cratic convention after adopting their
cwn platform, some Of the planks Of
which will be urged for adoption in
the Democratic platform. The mid
dle-o the-rosders" faction and the
"fusionist' faction will meet together
in the Populist convention, and it is
evident that there is good political
direction hack of this movement.
Bryan recently went to North Caro-
lima, which was the strongest Popu-
list state in 1896, and, 1t is said, he
advised the Pops to get together and
be in position to make terms with
the Democrats. According to reports
here, however, there is more than this
in the background, involving, it is be-
lieved, the intention Of Mr.. Bryan
and Mr.. Hearst and their following
to bolt the Democratic ticket if any
man like Cleveland or Parker or Cor
man is nominated for the Presidency
and to cooperate actively in the Popu.
list campaign.

his wrists. He got so weak and run

New Well at Welsh.

Oil Investors Journal: Interest in
the development of the Welsh, Louis
lana. field has bedn greatly revived
by the bringing in of well which is
known as Woods No. l, southwest of
the producing territory at Welsh.
This we'll, which is locally known as
the Bos & MacFaddin well, obtained
an exceptionally fine showing of oil
at 1015 feet, and after a first prelimi-
nary test it Immediately indicated a
we'll considerably larger size then
than any wells previou1y completed
in the Welsh field. In addition to
this the oil was found to be of con
siderably lighter gravity than that
produced from the other wells, which
indicates, in the minds of the Welsh
operators, the probable extension of
the Welsh field in Il southwesterlY di-
rectiOn.
The new well is located about 400
feet south of the we'll which the Welsh
Oil 81 Development Company drilled
nearly two years ago. This we'll of
the Welsh Oil & Development Com
pany had a terrific blowout, which
almost totally destroyed the derrick
and machinery, and caused the aban-
donment of the we'll.
An interesting feature in connection
with the Welsh development is con-
tract which has been made between
f. w. Freeman, for the Texas
Company, and w. p. Binyon, where
by the Texas Company acquires Ger
tain rights which Mr.. Binyon holds
on lands lying in the southern por-
ton of the Woods lands. 1t is I'M
derstood that the Texas Company will
commence a we'll on the property
within short time.
The we'll which has just been COM
pleted for the Hill Top Oil Company
on their property northeast of the Bos
& MacFaddin well, obtained good
showing of oil at normal depth. This
we'll has not been entirely completed,
but every indication points to its be-
ing well about the average size.

dent r. H. bowman OF the White
Castle road. The total mileage of the

LAFAYETTE

The management of the Lafayette

there is always a demand for the emo
ticnal play. and that certain examples
thereof may safely be booked season on
season.
East Lynne" Is an instance Of this.
Our mothers read and sobbed over the
self-Inade woes OF the Lady Isabel. and
our sisters and the other fellows sisters
have seen and sobbed over them at the
playhouse for a generation.
Eugene Blair. starring in the old play,
is this weeks bill at the Lafayette.
The house was well filed last night, and
the gathering might have been taken
for a matinee audience, so great was
the preponderence Of femininity. A
glance foyer-ward at each climax show
ed handkerchiefs at many eyes, and
proved that Miss Blair could bring out
the power of the old play.
There were one or two slight incon-
gruities last night. the elimination Of
which viii probably have been accom-
plished by tonight. Lines had not been
altogether mastered by some OF the
company and the evening clothes worn
by Mr.. Mulkay. as Sir Francis Levison,
