Don't STAY aPut .

One reason why so few are ready
to stand forth when Fate has taken
her measuring tape in hand is, that
the belief very generally obtains that
1t is natural" for one TO stay where
his father has stayed. to do the things
her mother has done, to walk along
paths worn smooth by familiar feet.
But in countless cases nothing is
more unnatural than the supposed-to-
be natural-The Delineator.

Marshal Cox received a message
Thursday morning to be on the look
out for one Joe Ford of Jennings,
who was shaking the dust of the city
from Off his feet, without shaking the
necessary coin out of his jeans to
square his obligations with his
friends. Mr.. Cox found his man and
arrested him just before the arrival of
the Oriole, which brought deputy
sheriff David Mahaffy of Jennings
over on other business. Mr.. Mahaffy
took charge of the man. and settle
ment was quickly effected bv Ford's

Iowa to Have Rural Telephone
System,

The Iowa Telephone Company held
an important business meeting in the
Odd Fellows Hall Saturday night.
The majority of the stockholders were
present, and important business was
transacted. The subscribed stock was
increased from $4,000, to $4,000, practi-
cally all of which was subscribed be-
fore the meeting adjourned. The com.
pany has not been idle while complet-
ing the organization, but have about
twenty miles of poles hauled and
peeled, aud about half that amount
set. They have made such progress
and are so enthusiastic about the pro-
posed line that there is little doubt
but that they will have it in working
order within a verv short time.
This is a move in the right direction
and one which the farmers of this vi
cinity could emulate to good ad'
vantage.

Welsh Treated TO a Good, Clean Enter.
tainmGHt.

The lovers of high grade music have
enjoyed a treat this week furnished
them by the Hewett MuSettS. This
company consists of Mr.. Hewett, his
girlish appearing wife, and their three
daughters, ranging from five to four
teen years old. Each member of this
talented family is an artist in bis
or her chosen line. The number and
variety OF musical instruments with
which they entertained their audience,
and the excellent quality of rendition.
surpassed anything that has been
heard in our city for years. While,
as a rule, child acting is insipiG, vet
the numbers rendered by the little five
and seven year old Hewett girls inva-
riably called for an encore, and were
highly appreciated by everybody.
Every number of the entertainment
was ENJOYABLE and elevating. There
was nothing from beginning to end
that pandered to the baser nature of
man. And that this high class enter
tainment can be, aud is appreciated
by everyone is evidenced by the excel
lent order maintained throughout the
entire course of evenings.
1t will be of interest to the people of
Welsh to know that Mr.. Hewett lived
in this vicinity for number of years,
having come here at an early date
with his parents, aud lived on a farm
five miles north of town. But farm
life did not suit the taste of either Mr..
Hewett or his brother, both of whom
left the farm and went on the stage.
After the boys left the farm the old
folks moved to Welsh, when Mr.. Hew-
EFT built the house now occupied by
Dr.. ArceneauX, where they lived for
several years. Mrs. Hewett, the moth
er of our entertainer, was the first
Grand Worthy Matron of the Eastern
Star in Louisiana. Having finished a
noble work here she now rests in the
silent city" of Welsh's honOred
dead
One would naturally think that it
would be a diffiult problem to rear
and educate children with no perma-
nent abiding place. Perhaps it is,
but the hewett children are as well
advanced in their school studies as
most children of their age. Whenever
they make a weeks stand in a place
the children enter the schools of that
place, this drill, together with the
training given them by their parents,
enables them to acquire the broad
bases of a general education.
Mr.. Hewett still owns a so acre farm
north of town, to which he and the
family drove out Wednesday. 1t is to
this fact and the fact of his former
residence here, that we are indebted
for the opportunity of enjoying the
privilege of having the Hewett Mus
etts, as they usually make only the
larger cities on their tour.

Roanoke After Oil.

A meeting will be held at Roanoke
tonight for the purpose of organizing
a stock company to put down one or
more oil wells In the vicinity of that
village. This project is backed by
the leading men of the community, as
well as q few men from Welsh. About
forty in all have signed a statement
to the effect that they will take stock
in the proposed company. There
seems to be no reason to doubt but
that this company will be formed and
in operation within a short time, as
the men who are projecting 1T are men
who do things: and $l.25 a bar
rel, which is the price being asked
for fuel oil, is the strongest incentive
to active operations along the line of
development. We wish them the ut
most success in their venture.

Good Philosophy.

The Times Democrat has the follow
ing philosophical comment to make
on the rate bill one sees more clearly
looking backward:
''The anti-pass regulations of the
rate bill are not hurting the railroads,
although they were ostensibly SO de
signed. The roads are spared the
giving of transportation, much Of
which is now paid for, a fact which is
all to their advantage. Brer Rabbit
seems to have been thrown into the
brier patch after all.

WELSH Gil FIELD BOOMING.
The Best Well of the Field Brought In
Last Week. k.-Three Companies Drill
ing in Field Now. w.-Seyeral New
Wild cat Wells to BE Put
Down Soon.

1t only takes casual observer TO
discover that "there is something do
ing" in the Welsh field at the present
time. The latest sensation was the
bringing in of Central City Well, No.
3, last week, which is declared by eX
perts of the field, to be the best well
ever brought in there. This well is
located about one hundred feet west
of the well which this company brought
in last fall, which was conceded by all
to be the best we'll in the field at that
time. Their new well is making near
" twice the Weld of the one put down
last fall. thus taking first rank Of all
the wells of the field. These last two
wells are at the extreme western part
of the field The further west they
are put down, the better they seem to
be. Mr.. Butler, manager of this COM
pany, left for Michigan Wednesday,
in order to confer with the directors of
the company, relative to sinking an
other well. 1t is the expectation that
they will start putting down well on
their own land, just west of this last
well, as soon as he returns.
The Sun people began drilling Tues
day On their holdings on the eastern
edge of the field, about three hundred
feet east of the Rio Bravo wells. If
this company gets fairly good we'll,
they will put down several more imme-
diatelv.
The Texas Pacific people are drilling
this week on the northwest portion of
the field, while the Producers Company
is still operating on the southern bor-
der of the field. Thus the field is be-
ing exploited on all sides with grow
ing belief that something will be found
better than has vet been discovered.
The Home Company is washing out
their we'll which was brought in a few
months ago, but sanded up. They hope
to have it in operations within a few
days. There are now eight paying
wells in the field.
We have information from a reli-
able source that wild cat we'll will be
put down on Geo, Cosner's place as
soon as material, which has already
been ordered, can be secured for the
derrick. Local oil experts have be-
lieved for years that oil could be
found in this locality. Last fall c. E,
Smith, oil man and capitalist of Port
Arthur, secured the services of an eX.
pert geologist, who has been looking
over the field for the past two or
three months, and believes that oil
can be found on the afore mentioned
place. The parties concerned are sc
we'll convinced that they will put down
well there within the next few weeks,
The Rio Bravo refinery is being op'
Grated TO its limit now, running night
and day, turning out a number one
lubricating oil in large quantities.

WOULD CHANGE UNJUST RATE
Whether Fixed by State Statutes
or Railroads
RULING OF THE COMMISSION
One of no Greater SanctisS Tbaa The
Other-Commfssion Would Not
Hesitate to Change III Proven to be
Unjust to Either Carrier Or Ship
DER.

Washington, July lin an opinion
handed down today o the interstate
commerce commission by Commission
er Harlan the rule is laid down that
while a rate fixed by the state stat
utes or a state commission sis natur-
ally and properly entitled TO respect
full consideration. it has no greater
sanctity, as applied 70 Interstate traf-
fc, that a rate established by a rail-
road company. and this commission
would not hesitate, upon proper evil
dence hat q rate so established woul
be unjust either to a carrier OF TO a
shipper, to refuse to accept 1t as a
basis for fixing the interstate rate"
The opinion in which the foregoing
announcement was made was in the
case Of the Pope Cotton Oil Company
against the Texas and Pacific Railway
Company and the st. Louis and Iron
Mountain and Southern Railway Com
pany.
A complaint alleged that a joint
through rate of 81 cents per hundred
pounds on cotton seed in car loads
charged by defendants from points
north of Shreveport VIA TexarkaEa
to Pope, Ark, was unreasonable and
discriminatory and that seventeen
and five-tenths cents per hundred
pounds would be a fair rate.
After the complaint was filed the
defendants put into teffect a joint
through rate of thirty ents per hum
dred.
The commission holds that the 80
cent rate is unreasonable and that it
should mot exceed seventeen and five
tenths cents, which sfthe sum of the
local rates.
