New Theory About Petroleum

INS" AASS1J SASoN
B. F.. HOlcOmb, a geolOgist OF
Boston, Mass, who made thor
ough examination of the Kansas
and Indian Territory oil fields for
eastern capitalists last July, and
in his report predicted that the
main strata would be found I'M
DERIVING the Mississippi limestone,
is spending few days in Kansas
at present. As a result of his
studies in the oil fields he has
found a new theory on the origin
of petroleum. In discussing this
theory last night Mr.. HOlcOmb
said: "That petroleum is in any
wise due to decay of marine life
is to my mind mscientitic, if not
absurd. The origin of the various
grades Of petroleum and, in fact,
coal as well, is certainly the result
Of condensed gases under various
physical conditions. Once an Oc-
can of diversified depths covered
the surface Of the whole earth,
when suddenly the bottom was
uplifted, principally through in
ternal heat, caused by lateral pres
sure. and mountains uplifted their
heads. The paroXysms caused,
among other things folds, and
fractures throughout the strata of
the arious geological ages. The
fractures acted as vents for hy-
drogen and acetylene gases,
which formed as soon as water
met the alkili earth minerals.
These two well-knoWn gases unit
ing, attracted the cobalt ores and
more or less dissolved their nickel,
iron, arsenic and sulphur. Thus
fortified reaction took place and
the hot compound soon finding
itself hemmed within porous rock,
was condensed. If the condensa-
ton was sudden owing to the eX-
IRENE GOODNESS of the rock, the
result was coal: otherwise it was
petroleum.

thanks to Doan's Kidney Pills.
People are telling the good news
of their experience with the old
Quaker remedy. Here is an ex-
ample worth reading:
Mrs. Mary Baker, wife of D. l..
Baker, employed at the Marietta
Chair Factory, TT Fifth street,
Marietta, O., says: SIN January,
1900, I gave a testimonial touch
ing on the merits of Doan's Kid
ney Pills. In that statement l
had said that 1 had known the
great value of this remedy for
over two years. The result OBJ
tanned from the first box / used
was so satisfactory that cOntin-
ued taking them until l had used
several boxes, and the great ben
eft received was proof of their
value for kidney troubles. | most
heartily endorse this remedy, to-
dayl, after over six years have

Another Chapter
About RefrigeratOrS

"A great many different ideas
exist as to what constitutes the
best insulation for refrigeratOrs.
The Belding-Hall people, who
make the line we carry, have CIV
en- the matter very thorough
study, and after many investi-
cations and experiments with
filings, have found nothing so re-
liable and satisfactory as mineral
felt, glued on each side Of dead
air space.
Mineral felt is a combination
of mineral wool, asbestos and
hair felt. BY using this filling
not only are the walls Of the re-
frigerators we handle insulated,
but the door and lid as well. This
is a very important feature, as a
door or lid of a refrigerator, be-
ing always exposed, requires
equal, if not better insulation,
than the walls.
This filling possesses great adj
vantages over other filings, from
the fact that it cannot settle in
the walls, leaving the ice chamber
unprotected, nor can it sift
through the joints, soiling the re-
frfgerator, as in the case of pow
dered charcoal.
These practical. and essential
pints. taken together with the
fact that in a test the Belding-Hall
people made with their leading
competitors, their refrigerators
producing a lower temperature
with an equal amount of ice,
proves conclusively that the Beld-
ing-Hall people have the best re-
frigerator in the market.

There is a Difference.

The difference between Kenne-
dy's Laxative Honey and Tar and
all other cough syrups is that it
moves the bowels, thus expelling
a cold from the system. This re-
lakes the nerve tissues and by its
healing and soothing effect on the
throat and lungs the cough is re-
lieved-cured entirely. Kenne-
dy's is the original laxative honey
and tar. 1t contains no opiates.
Good alike for young and old.

At the 5ijou.
nvl Seen Jeff

Hi, Cuspyl Seen Jen?"
 Nav. but I'm goin ter at de Beejew ternight."
 That was the pass word on the streets all day yesterday and last night the gal lery at the Bijou was crowded with urchins of all sizes and ages determined to see the greatest fighter in the world" !" Rows and rows of eager faces looked down, and as the play progressed these faces opened with howls of approval
 But the gallery god was not alone in evidence. very large house greeted the champion in "Davy Crockett" and he was liberally applauded after some of his eli maXes had been achieved. The first im- pression one receives is that of wonder that Jeffries acts as well as he does, all things considered. He has never had any histrionic experience to speak of and was boilermaker before he won fame in the prize ring so that his opportunities for study have been rather limited. but he contrives to put real feeling into the character of the frontier hero and he acts very well for a man whose strong forte is fighting. Jeffres fits the role he plays to perfection. His powerful physique awakens admiration and there
 is something about his face that suits the part of Davy Crockett If the champion would modulate his voice and speak in more natural tones ne would De much more effective. He delivers most of his lines in a voice that is too loud. but his silent" acting and his portrayal of the awkward backw oodsman was surprisingly good
 Of course those who went to the Bijou theatre last night did not expect to see a greater actor. They did expect to see a great fighter and Jeff was there sull the champion managed to give a ably with other melodramas that have been seen here and he appeared to be thoroughly in sympathy with his role When he kept out the wolves by thrusung his mighty arm across the door in 1feu of a bar and when he picked up his sweetheart under one arm and carried her off from under the very nose of the expectant bridegroom there was enthusi- astic applause.
 Jeffries was assisted ma terially by the clever acting of Miss Anna Roberts who played the part of Eleanor Vaughn, in love with Davy She acted with more than the average talent and gave the champion good support.
 The play is. of course. familiar to all the theatre-goers and tells a stirring story of the wooing of Davy Crockett and a wealthy girl who lost her heart to the trapper.
 At the conclusion of the performance a sparring exhibition of t-..ee rouncs was given by Jeffries and his sparring partner, ''Yank'' Kenny. The bout was greatly enjoyed.

METROPOLITAN OPERA co.
Question of Advance Sale-Douglas
 Warns Dahm-Peterson.

Adolph Damn Petersen is the local manager for the Conried Metropolitan Grand Opera company, which will present "Parsifal" at the Jefferson Theatre April 27, but R. & Douglas. manager of the theatre claims the right, at least for the present, of handling the ticket business. Last night Mir. Douglas gave out a copy of letter which he was sending to MT. Damn Peterson. It is as follows:
 February 6, 1905. Prof Adolf DahmP Petersen, City:
 Dear Sir-Since our conversation of last Friday l have carefully looked over the contract for the appearance of the Com ried Metropolitan Opera company at this theatre. 1 find that the contract is very explicit in holding me responsible for the sale of seats for this engagement and the accounting for the money.
 l therefore advise you, for the purpose of saving you much trouble and annoy ance not to, at present at least do any thing toward accepting orders for seats for that engagement. Not only may ac- cepting of orders by you entail much worry, trouble and expense to you. but if you should be unable to get seats for persons from whom you had accepted or ders you would cause much disappoint- ment to them. Respectfully yours,
 R. S. DOUGLAS,
 Manager Jefferson Theatre.

Additional Statistics.

Both houses of Congress have passed a joint resolution directing the census bureau to gather statistics of marriage and divorce. The subject had been neglected in the two last censuses and the work is to be done from this time forward.
 But the south is more interested in another resolution directing the cen sus bureau to publish twice a month reports of all cotton ginned. These re ports are to be kept up while any seed cotton remains on hand. South ern senators favored an increase ot reports. Senator Bacon of Georgia did in fact start the movement. All feel that the earliest possible information will cut off damaging rumors, thereby protecting the farmers of the south.
 The withholding of information at the gins cannot be too strongly con demned. It would be short-sighted and futile to attempt anything of the kind. The cotton growers convention, held at New Orleans, deprecated such silly efforts, and it is believed no fur ther trouble on that score need be ap- prehended.

HOWARD DEFEATS scoTTsRoRo
Local Team Played Good Basket Ball
 Score 61 to 4.

Howard colleg basketball team de- feated the Scottsboro college team last night by a score of 6l to 1. The Howard team played excellent ball, in fact it de- llvered the best article it has ever put before the public and this in a large meas ure was responsible for the score. The team was particularly fortunate in it's throwing for goals. landing many very difficult throws and some that seemed inn possible.
 On the other hand Scottsboro seemed to be suffering from a streak of i'll luck that was crippling indeed The team seemed to find the basket an impossible ity. and time after a time the ball seemed to absolutely refuse to go into the bas- ket when thrown. Ordinarily such throws would have been goals. but it looked as if an unseen hand pushed the balls out for Scottsboro last night.
 Tonight the Athletic club and Seotts- boro will play and the people who wit messed the game last night expect closer and more interesting contest. Scottsboro will be used to the court for one thing and the club intends to sed all of its players in and see how that will do in a match game. A large crowd is expected
