At Erie.
Only five wells have been completed
in this district the past month. OF
these two were busters, Nos 1 and 2,
by the Gold Standard company, on
the Edwards farm. The Midland Oil
& Gas company's No. 1 on the Fisk
farm is small producer, good for
probably three barrels. The Mime
sofa company got a 25 barreler on the
Smith and the Great Western refinery
got a gasser on the refinery property.
The company is now drilling No. 2
and the Minnesota is drilling No. 5,
the only drilling wells in the district.
The general opinion here is no new
work, other than to keep leases in
tact, will be done until oil takes an
upward move in price. Five leases
have quit pumping for want of a mar
ket, and the two that are connected
with the pipe line have only run two
tanks each this month. hence are
pumping only enough to keep moving,
waiting for something to turn up.
Surveys by the railroad for siding
for the refinery are being made and
material for tanks, and lines have ar
rived. Promoters say the refinery will
be in full operation by September next
and tanks will be ready with lines
run and connections made with all
who wish to DatrOniZe them within
thirty days from now

Discuss Red Fan svste1n.

Wichita. Kan, May 27.-Nearly all
the freight and passenger agents on
this division of the Missouri Pacific
met in the offices of superintendent
Webb here recently to discuss the ben
efits of the red ball'' freight system
and to consult in regard to extending
this system.
The red baH' system was put into
effect on the Missouri Pacific on May
1. The cars carried under this meth
cd are designated by a sign in the
shape of a red bali and by this meth
Cd are made the same as perishabIe
same manner.
A thorough trial has convinced the
Missouri Pacific that it is superior to
anything they have had and every
means is being employed by agents
and officials to improve upon the al
ready efficient service of the line. The
''red BALI system has been in service
on the Santa Fe for several years.

BARRED ON REGULAR TRAINS.
Railroads Would Rather Run Special
Trains for President Roosevelt

railroads Would Rather Run Special
Trains for President Roosevelt.
Chicago. Ill. May 27.-The general
passenger agent of the Big Four road
threw some new light today on the
question why railroads run a presidents
special train.
THE popular idea isl said he, that
the railroads desire to cater to the fed
eral administration. The real reason is
business one. The railroads do not
carry the president of the United States
IN a special train over the country for
tun, Tor glory or for advertising pur-
poses, but because the chief executive
may not be carried on a regular train,
as it would handicap the general opera
ton of the road and work hardship
on the travelling public
No regular train could possibly ad-
here to its schedule were the president
on board. The fact that he was a
passenger could not be kept secret, and
at every station and crossroads there
would be crowd demanding to see and
hear him make a speech. There would
be delay Of ten or fifteen minutes at
every station, and every other passen-
ger on the train would be greatly incon-
VenienceG.

PRESENTS WHICH
 ARE UNIQUE HUT USELESS.

Don't Throw away your old kid gloves says a woman writer for wo- men. "If you clean them with gaso- line, rip thei stitching out. cut them into pieces, sew the bits together again and embroider them with bright col ored silks you can make beautiruI Christmas presents of them if you be- gin early enough in tbe year and give your time to It. You can make needle cases, silk lined and tied with ribbons; you can make pincushions. hatpin hold CTS and even sofa pillows. You can sew the bits of renovated kid gloves toget1- CT, embroider them and get the right kind of cushion for showing them off properly. The pillow, of course, must never be used"
 Just so. And don't throw away your old silk stocking tops. They will make lovely mitts for holiday gifts. Just rip up an old pair of mitts to get the pattern, cut the new ones by the pat tern, embroider the backs with bright colored silk. sew together, herringbone, codfish. faggot and hemstitch tho seams, fandang0 the tops and -curiycue the bottoms. Then slash up the back, scol. lop and buttonhole the edges. Get a pail of silk shoestrings, cut of the metal points, embroider the ends. hn- ish of with tassels made of gold beads
 
 mitts There will not be 0 great amount of wear in the mitts, sometimes they rub into holes while in process of making, but they are extremely appro- priate for Christmas gifts. Wrap them in tissue paper and tie them with flame colored changeable ribbon.
 There is a peculiar twist in the fem mine mind which causes 1t to be hypno- tized and fascinated with the scheme of making something out of something else. and the more the final result achieved differs from the original in- tention, also the more time the fair fab ricator of something out of something else can spend in altering the original intention, the more she Is pleased.

 The first two negroes to be tried on this charge were Frank Atkins and Waiter Dotson. They did not deny that they had caused sharp reports on the corner of Perry and Monroe streets by humping stick. containing powder cap, on the sidewalk pavtnk, They had seen other people celebrar- ing Christmas on that day. December 18th. and they thought they could do no harm by joining in the fun. Tn" recorder saw no fragrant case. there was no discharge of firecrackers. and he dismissed the cases.
 Will Williams. a negro, was the nexs defendant to answer to similar charge He was walking up Monroe street Monday night, had q package of firecrackers in his hand and lighted cigar in his mouth. He was lighting the crackers with the cigar and throw ing the fireworks into the street. soon had the negro in GUS. tody. Recorder Baber said that the law was directly infringed but that h- would impose a fine only of the costs in the case, which were s3.
 The last fireworks case was that O John F'rizatt, who was arrested Sum day morning. He had been setting oE several packages of crackers and tn" recorder saw no other alternative than to impose a fine of s2 and costs.
