OIL PRODUC-
TON IN 1908

crease IN the OIL production OF
this country in 1908, and the Uni
ted States again leads the world
in it's output, both of crude and
refined oil, as well as in the
manufacture of the various pro-
duets of petroleum. No other
country has devoted so much at
tention to the oil industry, and
in no other country is this great
natural product found in greater
abundance or under more diver
sifed conditions. In our forty
five States and five Territories,
oil is known to exist in twenty
one. and is d commercial article
of greater or less Importance, IN
sixteen. While Pennsylvania, a
few years ago, ranked supreme
among the oil-producing States,
she has now been crowded out
by recent discoveries which have
made many remarkable changes,
and she is now surpassed in this
respect by Ohio, Texas, Callfor-
MIA and West Virginia.
Tn total value of the crude oil
produced in the United States
in 1903, that is the amount act
ually received by the oil produc-
ers, was about 500, 100000, while
the value of our exports OF pc
troleum and its manufactured
products was over $7O,OOO,OOO.
The figures Of the Geological sur
vey show total yield Of over
100. 100000 barrels of petroleum
in 1903. Of this enormous
amount, nearly 1,000,000,000 gal
Ions were shipped to foreign
countries, representing a crude
production of over 100000
brrels. This would leave 10000
900 barrels for the home cOnsump-
ton, which has been increasing
at a rapid rate. Five years ago
over one-half Of the entire pro-
duction of the United States
found a market abroad.
The most striking feature OF
the petroleum industry in the
United States is the wonderful
change which has taken place in
the shifting of the bulk OF the
production from the Eastern to
the Western and Southwestern
States, At the same time this
change has been accomplished, to-
a great extent, by a decline in
the output Of the paratfine or
higher grade oils. The enormous
gains chronicled in the petroleum
tables of 1903 have all been made
in the States that produce oils
of an inferior grade.
Pennsylvania or Appalachian
OIL as it is termed in the reports
of the Geological survey. Is the
richest in paraffine, and yields
the greatest amount OF Kerosene,
naptha, benzine, etc. The pc
troleum of Texas and California,
which is now being produced IN
such great quantities, has an
asphalt base. and finds its best
market for fuel purposes; 1t IS
also largely used in the manufac-
t,lre of artificial gas in our larger
Eastern cities. AS a fuel oil, 1t
is rapidly displacing coal on the
railways of Texas and California
and is coming into general use
among the aericulturists and
manufacturers of our cotton and
sugar growing States.
The following tables contain
the figures of the United States

MARK A. HANNA, senior sem
ator from the State of Ohio, died
Monday afternoon at 8 O'Clock.
His death was not a surprise to
many for his physical condition
was such as to cause his friends
serious alarm, especially when it
was known that he had typhoid
fever. AS politician Mr.. Hanna
ranked high, there being few, if
any, who We're his equal. As
chairman of the National Re-
publican committee his talent as
an organizer was shown. But
perhaps his greatest fame comes
from the fact of his being a fri end
of the laboring mana manu-
facturer and the owner of millions
of dollars, yet so tender was his
heart, that the laborers of his
state ever recognized him as
their friend and on every oppor-
unity rewarded him with their
best service.

Forward Movement Meeting

The meeting of the Forward
Movement Teachers association
met last Saturday was in some
respects the best that has been
held.
The reports showed that the
committees had discharged their
duties promptly and that the
ronk and file of teachers in the
county had worked faithfully and
zealously in the matter of county
supervision.
We were especially fortunate
in being permitted to hear the
paper read by Rev. A. T. Osbron.
1t opened up new field of
thought to many of US and in the
discussion which followed the
paper was quite favorably COM
mented upon by the teachers, one
of them expressing the opinion
that it was the best which he had
ever heard read before any body
of teachers. A motion to have
this paper published in an early
issue of the county papers car
ried and a rising vote of thanks
rendered Rev. Osbron for the
suggestions which he had given
1t was decided there would be
no other meeting Of the organi-
zation this school year unless one
is called by the president.

A woman can never understand wh' Mrs. Noah permitted her husband to bring mice into the ark.
 After fellows been married a few years, he begins to long for a little monotony to relieve the excitement.
 Woman's inhumanity to man makes countless millions mourn.
 A woman's idea of economy is to have her husband shave himself for SIX months so that she can get neW spring bonnet
 Why don't the society editors come right out and say that it was the bride groom who was led to the altar?"
 When a wife says she knows of a tailor made" down town that could be bought for a song, the song often turns out to be "Old Hundred"
 The average bachelor knows as much about matrimony as q three-year- r-old child does about the penitentiary.
 Along about this time of year Sol omon probably began dickering with a wholesale millinery house for 750 spring bonnets, all exactly alike to pre- vent trouble.

an extremly dainty article made of gold and enamel.
 .But apart from it's associations, it is not of much greater value than an other thimble owned by the same American lady. This is a very ser viceable looking article made of solid silver, but very small. Its value lies in the fact that it was the property of the late Queen Victoria in the days when she was only a girl of IA. From it's appearance our late sovereign knew how to ply her needle in her youthful days.
 The first thimble ever made was the one presented in the year, 1884 to Anna Van Wedy, the second wife of Killaen Van Rensselaer,. and the thimble is. therefore. a dutch invention. In mak- ing the presentation, the giver, Won Bonschoten, begged the lady ito ac- cept this new covering for the pro- tection of her diligent fingers as q token of his greatest esteem and pro- found respect."-The Queen.

MODERN ApAPTARILITY.
Naturally, When the Facts Game Out, They Were Ready to Take Drink.

Get off at Spokane?" inquired the man with the pipe.
 "Yes. that's my home replied the man with the cigar
 Good town. Spokane.' volunteered the first. When I left there six years ago she was little down at the heel"
 Yes, she picked up in general pros perity," said the second.
 They had met in the smoking com partment of west bound express. He of the pipe was of sandy complexion and wore Van Dyke beard. The one whose preference dictated cigar had stubby black mustache.
 'I think my first wife lives there yet She got a divorce after l left. Think she married a man named Hard ing afterwards"
 "Harding?'' Harding, Know him?" Maybe; there are several Hardings in town
 How long have you lived there?"
 "I went there five years ago" said the man with the cigar.
 Flows Thompson doing with his mine now-H. L. Thompson?" asked the former resident.
 "Oh. he's rich now-got rid of dis honest partner named Lee some years ago. and since then he has prospered. Ever know Lee?"
 T have heard of him. What was the trouble?"
 Well, Lee had a little scheme to forge Thompson's name to deed 10 one of their best mines, sell the mine to an eastern syndicate and skip with the poodle Thompson dropped in in time and told Lee at the point of a gun to leave the country. and Lee left"
 What became of the Ruthie E mine?"
 "I own it now. l got it from Lees widow It's hummer"

 Yes: my homes at Astoria"
 That so? I used to know some peo- ple there Is Mrs. Joe Harding there yet?"
 "Yes. She had a pretty hard pull after her husband deserted her. Shes married again now"

FORTUNES ON FINGER ENDS.
Millions Have Been Spent for Women s
 Sewing Thimbles.

The costliest thimble in the world iS undoubtedly the one possessed by the Queen of Siam. IL was presented to her by her husband. the king, who had it made at a cost of rather more than c15. 1000. This thimble is quite an eX- duisite work of art It is made of pur@ gold in the shape of half opened Iotos flower, the floral emblem of the royal house of Siam.
 It is thickly studded with the most beautiful diamonds and other precious stones which are so arranged as 10 form the name of the queen. together with the date of her marriage. She regards this thimble as one of the most precious of her possessions.
 Not long since a Paris jeweler made a most elaborate thimble to the order of certain well known American mill ionaire It was somewhat larger than the ordinary size of thimbles and the agreed price was f5,00O. The gold set ting was scarcely visible, so completely was it set with diamonds, rubies and pearls in artistic designs, and rubies showing the initials of the intended recipient.
 This thimble was made as birth day present to the millionaire's daugh- ter who can now boast the possession of the second most valuable thimble in the world. Her father was so much pleased with the fine workmanship It showed that he ordered another but much less expensive one to be made for presentation to the schon compan- ion and bosom friend of his fortunate child.
 Five or six years ago jeweler in the west end of London was paid sum of nearly 2 300 for a thimble which the pampered wife of a South American Croesus insisted on having made for her. This was one mass of precious gems, diamonds and rubies, which as thimble ornaments seem to almost monopolize feminine taste.
 The eccentric prince, the late Nah arajah Dhuleep Singh, never did any thing by halves, and one of the most beautiful and costly thimbles ever made was that which was supplied Go his order as a present for q great lady in Russia. The price Of this ran well into four figures, and the gems set m it were all pearls of great value and no less beauty.
 So wefe those in the highly treas ured thimble which, on the occasion of one of his visits to Europe, the late Shah of Persia presented to lady whose guest he was for d few hours. In the words of the delighted recipient it looked like q cluster of glitterhS gems, which in reality it was save foi the gold in which they were set. An expert in precious stones valued this thimble at f1,500.
 There are thimbles of no intrinsic value. but which on account of th' famous women to whom they belonged would command very high prices if submitted to public auction. In the possession of the wealthy Mrs. Wander bilt there is a thimble which was for merly used by Queen Alexandra, It is

EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIMENT.

It was in Mississippi that the grandfather clause" was invented to keep the negroes from voting; it is in Mississippi that election have been re- duced to a mere formality because of the primary law. and it is in Missis- sippi that the constitution is to be sub stantially overthrown by the passage of a law which shall nominate at the primaries members of congress for four years. In other words. every man once nominated for the house of representa- tives is to get two terms. The Missis- sippi people hate to vote and are dcing their best to make it necessary to go to the polls only once in four years. The legislature if elected for that term. and if congressman are nominated for two terms t w!ll only be necessary for a corporal guard to attend elections, since the primaries settle everything.
