The Careless
ness of Man

Is often the cause of bitter disap-
pointments. The modern man
looks after the future welfare OF
his family by buying life insur-
ance, Government bonds or some
other safe investment, and neg
lects one thing that possibly
would be more consolation and
comfort in case he was called
away. And that is a modern pho
tograph; 900 of our business is
women and children. The men
are always putting it off until
finally a black gowned woman
brings in an old tin-type taken
when John was 20, and has it cop
led. Not much comfort, but it s
all she has. Don't you think a
small investment in photography
would be a good one for you?
Styles and sizes to suit all tastes
and purses.

Texas Oil Production

No. l on the B., B., B. & G. tract,
completed a few days later, was
estimated at 1900 barrels a day.
On January 10 the Santa Fe Rail
road company completed its first
gusher in the Saratoga oil field
and it's yield for the first twenty
four hours was close to 5000 bar
rels.
Several fine wells have been
brought in at Batson, and some of
the old wells on the Hogg-Swayne
and Keith-Ward tracts on Spin
die Top have largely increased
their production by deeper drill
ing. Some of the old wells that
are being revived were purchased
for song. One was sold for $50
which is now reported as doing
$50 barrels a day The first big
well in the Humble field was com
pleted on January Z.
According to the same author
ity, the production of the Jen-
nings district from flowing and
pumping wells on January IA
was II, 800 barrels. This makes a
total daily yield from the Gulf oil
districts Of 10000 barrels. Port
shipments Of Texas oil for the
first Il days Of January averaged
24.O74 barrels. In addition. large
amounts were shipped by rail.
Batson oil is now bringing %,
Saratoga and Sour Lake q. and
Beaumont 81 cents a barrel. Some
of the producers who made con
tracts to sell their oil to the re-
fineries are receiving somewhat
higher figures than the above quo
tations indicate.

The entire time of the United
States Circuit court was con-
sumed yesterday with the hear
ing of motions, etc, in the ia
nous old case of the South Penn
Oil company VS.. A. E. and M. A.
Brast of Wetzel county.
This case which has been in the
courts of the State and to the Su-
preme court in one shape and an
other for nearly twenty years,
seems to be now assuming a shape
in which it can be wound up be-
fore many more years roll around.
Yesterday an order was directed
to the South Penn Oil company
to make a detailed report to the
court of all the wells that have
been drilled by the company on
the lands in this controversy and
the amount of oil that has been
produced from each Of them.
An order was also made direct
ing them to turn over to &. H..
Shattuck, receiver, all the oil
that has accrued to the royalty in
terest on the J. d. Owens 2S-acre
tract, which oil had not been
turned over when the receiver
was appointed nor since that time
on account of the fact that the OPP
Grating company claimed to have
purchased the royalty in this %
acres.
This has been proved to not be
true, this land being entirely out
side of the survey on which they
bought the royalty. The two best
wells in the field are located on
this little tract which has pro-
duced over 100000 worth Of oil,
it is said. The history Of this
case is among the most interest
ing connected with any suit pend
ing in the courts of the State and
the property involved quite as

Very few people are entirely
free from backache. 1t does not
take much to derange the kidneys.
A little cold, a strain, stopping po-
sitions or hard work overtaxes
those delicate organs and many
aches and pains promptly follow.
A citizen of nearby town tells
you here how every kidney i'll can
be relieved and cured. Read about
it:
P. A. Shrecougost, foreman in
the South Penn Oil company ma
chine shop, residence Clarksburg
street, Warrington, says: Mrs.
Shrecougost was annoyed with
dull aching in the small of her
back far too long to be pleasant.
Headaches accompanied it and we
often wished we knew of some
means to allay the attacks when
they occurred, let alone stop
them radically. An advertise
ment about Doan's Kidney Pills
induced me to procure box. 1t
did her so much good that we
bought a second. If they had not
brought positive results | would
be the lasts person in this vicinity

Settlement May Soon be
Made in South Penn Case

valuable as any in the State ,as
well.
Some time between 1910 and
1850 tract of land containing
| 2SO0 acres and located in what
is now Wetzel county, was grant
ed by the State of Virginia to
Messrs. Parker, Horner and
Locke. This land was afterward
sold for taxes and after changing
hands once or twice it was pur-
chased by Locke in its entirety.
The land finally came into the
possession of the Brasts who
made a lease on it to Ira Dewitt,
in turn who transferred this lease
to the South Penn Oil company.
Later the Brasts brought suit to
compel the South Penn to oper-
ate the property and to pay to
them the royalty.
The oil company filed a cross
bill to this suit and it was set
forth that they were ready to turn
over the royalty interest to the
proper owners whenever this own
ership was established; that there
were a great number of persons
claiming an interest to the prop
erty or parts of the same through
conveyances that had resulted
from tax sales ,etc
The case was fought through
all the courts on this proposition
and it was finally decided that
Locke, one of the original owners,
who had bought the land in at
tax sale and had afterward sold
the same, could not sell more than
his one-third interest in the tract
and the title of the Parkers and
Horners was thereby re-establish-
ed.
The occasion Of the delay in
winding up the whole matter
now is the conflict over the own
ership of various small tracts Of
the land which have been sold
by different persons under the
old illegal Locke transactions.

There is no evidence Of any de-
crease in the production OF the
Texas oil fields. On the contrary
the yield Of crude oil in South
eastern Texas will probably aver
age 10000 barrels a day during
the current month. In addition
there is a daily production of the
same grade Of oil at Jennings,
La, of nearly $4,000 barrels a
day.
In November the average daily
production of the Southeastern
Texas oil fields was 32,97O barrels,
and in December 36,7S6 barrels.
The Oil Investors Journal OF

lowing estimate Of the production
for January IA, 1905:
