Emergency Medicines,

1t is a great convenience to have at
hand reliable remedies for use in cases
of accident and for slight injuries and
ailments. A good liniment and one
that is fast becoming favorite if not a
household necessity is Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. BY applying it promptly
to cut. bruise or burn it allays the
pain and causes the injury to heal in
about one-third the time usually re-
quired, and as it is an antiseptic it pre-
vents any danger of blood poisoning.
When Pain Balm is kept at hand a
sprain may be treated before infamma-
ton sets in, which insures quick re-
covery. For sale by w Sedberry.

Bowling Green, O., July 10
Reports from reliable quarters In
dictate that the Standard Oil COM
pany has been Systematically
robbed by any obscure oil pro-
Queer in this county, who is al
legged to have pumped the oil
from a tank on his lease back In
to the wells again and after the
tank had been gagged and turned
into the pipe line. For the oil
gagged again and again he re-
ceived the market price per barrel
and the Standard is not yet cogni-
zant Of it's loss, as the real produc-
ton of the man s oil wells has not
been determined.
At Cygnet, near which the oil
lease involved in this alleged
piece of financiering is located the
Standard Oil company maintains
a pumping station and tank
farm, whereupon all the oil turn
ed into the line from this field is
stored and pumped to shipping
points. The capacity of this tank
farm is upwards of 100000 bar
rels of oil. So fine is the check
kept by the Standard Oil COM
pany that the discrepancy of a
few hundred barrels every month
was soon discovered, and the long
search for the leak began. All
the company knew was that so

WORKED SLICK TRICK
ON THE STANDARD

many barrels of oil were paid for,
but not received.
On a small lease in Wood coun,
ty, was located an oil well, which,
according to the gaugers' records,
was doing remarkably well.
Month after month its production
remained the same. Wells on
leases surrounding it were not
good. One oil producer who own
ed lease adjacent to the enc
on which this well was located
drilled three wells just across the
line from this well and not ten
feet away, but though the three
wells were heavily torpedoed, he
failed to drain the remarkable
pool.
There was suspicion fastened
upon the owner of the lease. 1t
was noticed, so goes the report,
that he always worked the lease
himself, and that during a sick
spell his production fell off ex-
ceedingly. 1t is said that he was
watched closely for a long time,
and that eventually it was dis
covered that he maintained a pri-
vate connection between the tank
and his well, by which he pumped
the oil back into the well as soon
as gagged. Thus he is estimated
to have sold some thirty-fve thou
sand barrels of oil over and over
again.
