DALLAS COUNTY
 CLAIMS OIL STRIKE.

Philadelphia, June 11.-It is reliably reported that parties who are digging for oil g miles southeast of here, in Dallas county, have struck a fine oil strata, and those who know be- lieve it will prove one of the greatest oil fields in the world. It It blew out' several weeks ago, and blew a stream of oil and salt water into the air to the top of the derrick. The flow is now confined by 1,8O0 feet of mud in the pipes. The Texas Crude Oil Company, Joseph Allen president, is doing the work. There is a large accumu- lation of the oil about the well, and it has killed all the vegeta- tion with which it came in con- tact. It is accompanied by hot salt water.

STREET CONSTRUED
 TO BE A ROAD.
Court Holds That Expenditure of Road Tax Upon the City Streets Lies With Discre-
 tion of County Judge.

In a suit brought by the city of Texarkana to enjoin the col lector of county taxes from pay ing the road taxes collected in that county to the county treas urer, the supreme court Satur- day in an opinion handed down by Justice Riddick, affirmed the judgment of the lower court.
 The chancellor refused to grant the injunction and dismissed the bill. On the appeal the supreme court held that the road tax was a county tax and should be paid to the county treasurer to be ex- pended by the county judge.
 But the court held that a street was a road within the meaning of the road law and that it was within the discretion of the county judge to expend as much as four-fifths of the road taxes collected in the city for the inn provement of the streets of the city, but they held that this dis cretion, which is vested in the county judge, could not be con- trolled by injunction. The judg- ment of the chancellor was there fore affirmed.

 "The proposition will receive much support in congress, where a feeling prevails that while the rural service may be desirable for the people along the routes, something must be done to pro- tect the politicians from the growing power of the carriers.
 ''So strong have the carriers become through organization and agitation with their patrons that they practically dictate to con- gress their compensation.
 For the benefit of the writer of the artice quoted, says the R. F. D. News, and any others who may be under a similar misap- prehension, we want to emphati- cally state in as strong terms as words can express that the rural carrier associations = county, state and national, are not or ganized nor conducted for politi- cal purposes, and that each one of the thirty state organizations have adopted resolutions which make it impossible for any rural carrier association to take any part in politics of any kind, and any paper which will print this statement will have the thanks of every rural carrier in the country.

SHOT BURGLAR
 LEAVING HOME.
Hot Springs Man Fatally Shoots Negro Burglar as He Was
 Leaving Window.

Hot Springs, June Il. Peter Lucas,a negro burglar, was shot twice Friday night by w. |. Meyers, whose residence he had entered for the purpose of rob- bery. The negro aroused Mrs. Meyers, who awakened her hus- band after some difficulty, and when Meyers awoke the intruder was crawling out of the dining room window, where he entered.
 Both shots struck the negro, one ball producing a flesh wound in the side. The other struck him in the left side and ranging downward lodged against the spine. If the negro recovers, which is now considered doubt full, he will probably be paralyzed below the hips.
 Lucas held a position of trust as porter at the Ozark sanita- rum. Under the belief that he would die Lucas confessed to two other rob.,eries. It is stated that he also confessed that he had been made a tool of by a gang of robbers, but the remu- neration being small he deter mined to set up for himself.

RURAL CARRIERS
 DON'T LIKE SCHEME.
Proposition to Let Out Contracts to Handle R. F. D. Mail Like Old Star Route System
 Not Favored.

The article below appeared in a Chicago paper during the past week and is being copied exten- sively by the press. It has been proposed to let out the rural free delivery routes under contract, like the old star routes were for merly operated, in the interest of economy, so it is said, but the men now employed in the rural delivery service do not like the scheme and will make a deter mined effort to prevent the pass age of such a bill. Tie article in part says:
 Economy in government ex- penses made necessary in every department by the large deficit in the revenues, threatens to be applied heroically in the rural free delivery service. Unless the people living on the routes make a vigorous protest rural free de- livery will be placed on a con tract basis.
 Tt costs the government $28,- OOO,O0O a year to run the rural routes, paying the carriers a maximum compensatisn of $72O a year. The average pay is $690 per carrier, the rate being fixed by the length of the routes.

STREETS TOO NARROW.
Cole and Baldwin Should be Twice
 Present Witdh. -.....

Contra ctor McManus has finished the work of surface hardening Baldwin street from Washington street to tie south line of the Washington school fence It looks like a first class job and MT McManus says he knows it Is. Anyway it is big improvement and shows that 1t would be much better to continue making such roads than throwing away money carting stuff on to them that disappears with the first heavy shower if the wind leaves it alone until the rain comes. Baldwin street is now surface hardened from Scovil's bridge southerly to the point mentioned. and before the city gets through there some repairs should be made on the rest of the macadam for the entire distance. Parts of it needs a new coat of top dressing and all Of it would be improved by running the big roller over it few times. The trouble with these macadam roads is that they do not receive proper atten- ton.

WORK IS COMPLETED.
Bald win Stree, surfacs Hardened
 Now for Cooke Street.

The proposition to widen Cole street has set people talking regarding the cost and those who know something about such things claim that it will be very expensive job. The street is all built upon and it is quite likely that everybody along the line will ob- ject to being disturbed. Dr Hayes will not want to see a big slice of his lawn go into the street and it is not at all likely that the Immaculate Conception church corporation will look with much favor upon a scheme which means the looping off of portion. of the school yards and bringing the dust, dirt and noise close up to the school. convent and Mulcahy Memorial hall doorways. Since the trolley laid rails ill the street teamsters give the street a wide berth, and the inconvenience thus caused has been felt ill many quarters, especially at the plant of the Scoyill Manufactur- ing Co., whose wagons have practically abandoned the street altogether. Many think it would be better to widen Mill street from Baldwin street to East Main street and have the trucking done in that street. The only objection to etiio io tddI u NOulu udht lOlIScl
 haul, and besides it is argued by advo- cates of the project that in few years there will be large business blocks in Cole street and that when that time comes the place would be veritable death trap unless the street was widened. Some of the city off, cials take the ground that the plan should include Baldwin street and say that the street never will be what it ought to be until something of this sort has been done and that now is the time to take hold of it. Others claim that these streets are wide enough for all practical purposes and lay the whole trouble at the door of the business administration, who al- lowed the trolley to lay it's rails to a grade to suit itself instead of holding them down to the grade of the street, as the contract provided, and then see that they put the street back in the condition they found it. MT Goss has been calling attention to the condition of Cole street since the trolley started to operate there, but it does not seem that what he has said amounted to anything. --.

WANTS A WIFE.
Another Applicant for the House and
 Wife Calls on Attorney Cuilfoile.


 Attorney Guilfoile got himself into a peck of trouble with number of men who called to find out particulars about the woman whom he announced want ed him to find her a husband. He neglected to take the lady's address and says he knows nothing about her except that she lives in Brooklyn. The last man who called was very indis- nant and intimated that, the attorney was simply making fools of honest peo- pie. If the girl meant business all she has to do now is call upon Mir Guii- foile and take her choice of half a dozen suitors. It seems from what has transpired since the article was first published that there is large number of men in Waterbury who cannot find suitable partners and while some re- garded it as silly affair, it may re- suit in the opening of permanent matrimonial agency in this town.
