Oil Situation at Gainesville.

So far as the News is informed there
is no change in the oil situation from
that of last week. Mr.. Brann has gone
to Bartlettsville, Ind. Ter, where he
has oil interests and from there he will
go to his home at Warren, Pa. Mr..
Morck the other member of the com
pany who has been here some time,
left Saturday for Chicago on business,
but returned last night. OF the
drillers, Dotsy has returned to his home
at Fostoria, Ohio, and McSweeney left
a few days ago for Princeton presum-
ably to figure with parties there on
putting down we'll. Of the entire
force only Messers Morck, Strause and
Heltzer are left, aud they are working
to get more leases.
The derrick has been boarded up
some to keep people out, the ropes and
cables taken down and every Indication
is that work has stopped, and it is I'M
certain when it wilt be resumed.
Among the number in a position to be
best informed there are those who take
a gloomy view of the situation and fear
that the company will not resume work
unless the land is blocked up in a
sufficient acreage to suit the company.
The News does not share in this
pessimistic feeling, but believes that
the work will be resumed in due time
and the we'll brought in. If more
leases are necessary, we believe the
best way for the company to get them
is to take the people into thier conf
dence and tell them the exact situation.
If, as we all believe, the drill has re-
vealed both Gil and gas, why not say
so and go on with the work of develop
ment.
In conversation with us this morn
ing, Mr.. Morck authorized US to say
that the work at the we'll would be re-
sumede in about ten days or two weeks,
that we had fairly good showing of
oil but that it was uncertain whether
the we'll would be large enough to pay;
that if it did not pay second we'll
in this field would depend on whether
enough leases could be secured to pay
them; that well would be put down
at Mt. Moriah but that would not inter-
fere in any way with the work here;
that they were in communication with
core-drill people and expected to be-
gin testing in about go days, but in
sisted that the land should be blocked
up as heretofore set forth, and that the
company could not afford to abandon
this field until it had been thoroughly
demonstrated whether coal, oil and gas
were here in paying quantities.-C Gains.

Few People in Leon Really Know
How.

Slow eating will solve one.half the
problem Of i'll health.
Those who suffer already with indi-
gestion and weak stomach can with
care and the use of Mi-o-na stomach
tablets restore their digestion to
healthy condition, SO that they can eat
what they want at any time without
fear of distress or suffering.
After a few days use of Mi-o-na
stomach tablets, the headache, dizzy
feeling, drowsiness, bad taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, nervousness,
sleeplessness, distress after eating-all
these symptoms of a weak stomach
disappear, and perfect digestion and a
good skin will show that the vital
machinery is once more running
smoothly.
Take little Mi-o-na tablet before a
meal so that it will stimulate the diges-
tive juices and give strength to the
stomach, and then it will take care of
the food that is eaten, without indiges-
tion and the unpleasant full feeling
with which SO many suffer after meals.

A Little Sound Advice Will Hell

of many bearing-down pains, lameness,

so that he can neither get the presidential
delegation nor another term as governor.
They declare that these tactics of the
President are not of the daylight order
and smell too much of the undo rhanded. A
leading Hughes man who has come on
here to size up the situation points to the
constant private attacks of the President
upon the governor and the dignified 81
lence of the governor in return. They
say that even if the President should
succeed in shaking confidence In Hughes
in New York an. losing the state delega-
ton for him he will simply create a ire
mendous breach in his own party that will
give the state to the democrats next year,
even II Bryan is the nominee of the
democrats.
The President has recently shown some
alarm over the Possibility that southern
states will elect salable delegates and
he shows great uneasiness that Hughes
may control delegates of this class.
The Hughes men profess not to know
why the President shows so much dis
like for the governor. They claim that
the only sin the governor has committed
has been in declining any coalition with
the White House in running New York
affairs and in. keeping his. skirts clear of
all entangling alliances with federal pa
tronage. He has refused to make recon-

ON GOVERNOR MADE
BY PRESIDENT.

Hughes men in New York and elsewhere
are beginning to resent with some bitter
ness the personal attacks President Roose-
Welt frequently makes upon New York s
governor in personal conversations in the
White House. The President clearly and
openly indicates that he thinks Gov.
Hughes is the ringleader of the "reac-
tionary" crowd throughout the country.
Just why he has reached that conclusion
he has not stated, and the Hughes people
are inclined to call his hand and ask that
the square deal square itself or make
good. The bitterness of the Hughes fol-
lowers comes from the belief that the
President is trying to shake the conf
dence of New York voters in the governor

Far famed Grand Rapids lettuce has

Industry. department OF agriculture.
Washington. THIS achievement places
DR.. Galloway in the ward class, says
the Dc,rJit Tree Press.
The Grand Rapids lettuce. such as
has been grown under glass in the fur
uiture city for many years, is very
hardy. not 1T all subject to disease,
beautiful rrimped leaves. and does not
grow in the form of q head. This is
demanded b. the western market,
which objects t. head lettuce
But in the east the head lettuce is a
favorite The Golden Queen. as it is
commonly called, is notable for the
wilderness of its inner leaves and for
its tenderness.
To improve these two varieties DR..
Galloway started 10 crossbreel and to
select the best seeds This is the fourth
year of his work. and he has now
reached the point where lie can see
that his ideal has been practically at
tanned.
The new Grand Rapids lettuce will
be third larger than the old vari-
ETY.. It's inner leaves will be whittier,
and the entire plant will be more ten
der. 1t will still remain an open leaf
plant. but will have just the slightest
tendency to form a tiny head at the
center.
The demands of the east for head
lettuce will be met in n successor to
the Golden Queen. This has inherited
from the old Grand Rapids strain Il
better constitution, so that it will not
be susceptible to disease. Moreover. il
will also inherit from the same source
the crimped leaves which are the pride
of the Michigan lettuce.
