fields are being carefully worked
over in the hope of striking new
pools. The future of the oil bust
ness at the present time, Mr..
Markham said, depend very
largely on the discovery of new
fields. The Indian Territory oil
has shown up better in quality
than the Texas product, and on
the whole has a more brisk demand
in the market. y
Asked hew recent legislation
against oil corporations was affect
ing the Texas enterprises, Mr..
Markham said there was nothing
to be said on that score. He
thought, however, that an unjust
tax was being applied to oil cor
porations.

MISPLACED SLAP
Miss Dunn Says Blow Should Be Placed
Elsewhere.

Richard Mans6eld's idea as to
the proper spot to slap the back OF
Miss Emma Dunn, the leading lady
in Peer Gynt," has caused row
in the company. Miss Dunn de-
clares that she has been discharged.
Mansfield decares that she has only
been granted a leave of absence to
gain an evident need of rest.
The trouble began several days
ago, when Miss Dunn in a formal
letter to Mansfield complained of
the manner in which he picked her
I'D and threw her about in one of
the acts. In this act Mansfield, as
the drunken braggart Peer Gynt,
objects to the tongue lashing of
Ase, the role of Miss Dunn. He
picks her up, throws her out of the
way, and, as he does so, administ-
ers a hard slap on the back.
Miss Dunn AYERS that the blow
is injuring her health and suggests
other places to apply it. She backs
her assertion by with the statement
of DIR. Godding, to whom she has
for treatment.
The doctor AYERS that the blow
causes an undue shock to the
nervous system and is the primary
cause of Miss Dunn's continued i'll
health. Mansfield AYERS that the
spot he has selected is the proper
one, and Miss Dunn's understudy
was put in her place tonight.
The place where I strike Miss
Dunn" Mansfield said tonight,
is the one where doctors and
nurses would administer blow to
the back of patient. 1t is where
mothers strike their Infants in
patting them on the back. Miss
Dunn has not been discharged.
She has simply been given time to
build up her health in order to
the hardships of the
stage.

THE members of the Texas leg
7sIature are justly indignant at
ythe gross ISLANDERS published in
Hearst newspapers, which charged
that Bailey's reelection had been
secured by wholesale purchase of
votes and the vilest sort of cor
-ruption. Two resolutions have
fbeen introduced in the lower
branch, calling for an investiga-
ction and the name of the author of
the libel. That the charges are
false need scarcely be stated by a
Texas paper, as the people of this
state in general do not need such
assurance. THE Herald doubts
whether there be even one man in
the Texas legislature who is so
craven as to sell his vote, and the
claim that scores of them have
zone so, is enough to arouse the
ire of the entire state against its
suthor, as well as against the pa

TEXAS OIL FIELDS
BECOMING DRY.
General Manager OF Big Companies Says
Best Days Are Passing.

According to c. H. Markham,
general manager of the J. Nc
Gufey Petroleum Company and
the Gulf Pipe Line Company the
days of the oil fields are practically
numbered.
In other words, every Texas field
is now down to an absolute pump
ing proposition, and the fields still
supplying oil are being carefully
gone over in the hope that some
new pools might be discovered.
Mr.. Markham said that there
were no new fields in sight in this
State, though much prospecting is
going on in the hope of finding a
new supply.
1t is by reason of the conditions
in Texas that the new pipe line is
being built from a point near
Tulsa, I. T., to Port Arthur, Tex.
This pipe line will have a length
of $50 miles and oil will be forced
through it with the aid of FIVE i'm
meuse pumping plants. This pipe
line will have an eight-inch dia-
meter throughout and it is estimat-
ed 10000 barrels of oil will flow
through it daily.
In Mr.. Markham's opinion the
Indian Territory field is the great
est yet found in the world. He
believes that a number of the wells
in that field will still be pumping
propositions fifteen, twenty or
twenty-five years from the present
lay. While there is no such thing
IS an inexhaustible oil field he be-

COURTS TO STOP ISLANDER.
From the Dublin Courier-pispatch.

The Georgia's Court of Appeals
, has handed down n ost drastic
decision, the court reversing the
decision of Judge Burck of the
City court of Dublin in the case
of Bennett vs. Crumpton.
The court holds that a man can
not repeat rumors concerning an
other and plead justification that
he heard them. He cannot escape
damages even if he produces the
witnesses that told him such and
such was 30. According to the
eourt, q man who repeats rumoF
becomes the father of the state
ment. "Tals-bearers are as bad
as tale-makers,'' says the court,
land it is no defense that the
speaker did not originate the SLAM
der, but heard it from another.
Under the decision Of the court,
if any person makes q charge
against another, even though he or
she did not originate the Islander,

lieved that it was true, the jury

time he repeats the rumor. Each
representation is o fresh defama-

and is legally liable as if he had

The decision of the court will
also have the effect Of making the

of the papers of the State are very
free in making charges against
certain people and things. They

SNEAK THIEF ROBs HOUSES.

Last Friday . sneak thief entered the
home Of Mrs. Sam Squires, during her
abse nee, and carried of all her cooked
food that had been prepared for din
ner, a large roast, bread, pickles, pas
try, etc. When Mrs. Squires returned
to the house she was dumbfounded at
the bold depreciation of the thief, in
open day light. She had to prepare
another dinner. The thief not content
with his raid here, crossed the street
and entered the home OF Mrs. Sarah
Hunt, from the rear, the family being
in fsodt part OF the house, and carried
off every bit OF dinner which had been
placed on the table for the noon naeal.
The sudden Disappearance Of the dinner
when discovered by Mrs Hunt. was a
surprise inexpressible. From there
the hungry thief went to Mr.. Mitch
ana and made another haul on the food
supply OF the family How the thief
made these visits in the same neighbog
hood and escaped detection is q mys-
terry that is ihcomprehensible.

they rebuked the negro, who few into q
rage ard attacked Mr.. Fowler with his
knife, cutting him on the hands twice:
and cut his coat and cravat. The ne
gro boarded the electric car for Mari
eta, and when he disembarked at Goss

rested him and placed him in Jail. A

TERRIBLE EARTHQUAKE.

FL Paso, Texas, April 18.-More
than 1000 were killed in the
earthquake which destroyed the
territory southwest of Mexico
City.
The list of dead may be in
creased greatly, according to late
dispatches received here to-day
from the affected country. New
volcanoes have broken out and the
burning lava has set fire to the
forests and people and live stock
are fleeing for their lives.
Scores of towns lying between
Mexico City and the Pacific ocean
have been wiped out by the earth
quakes. In instance the earth
opened and in the great chasms
thus formed swallowed up whole
villages.
The greatest damage resulted
between the City of Mexico and
the Colima volcano, which lie re-
ported TO be the starting point of
the disturbance. Colima is now
in violent eruption, the most Sc
we're in the history of Mexico, and
no estimate can now be placed ON
the damage dcne or yet to he
done.
/ One of the most alarming fea-
lures of the dispatches received
here is the indication that there
had been large loss of life in the
City of Mexico, q fact which the
authorities are trying to suppress.
Efforts to communicate with the
authorities have failed, but pri-
vate advices to commercial houses
say that the loss of life has been
heavy, but that no announcement
will be made.
| Messages received at the town
of Juarez, in Mexico, just across
the river from FL Paso, say that
when all of the dead in the scores
of towns and villages TO the south
west have been enumerated, the
list OF dead Will far exceed 100.
There was a great disturbance
on the bottom of the Gulf of Mex
leo. Fishing boats returning from
the RED fishing banks report that
they were overtakep by most re-
markable storms, in which cross
tides attacked them, water spouts
appeared and great columns of
steam shot from the ocean. Sew
eral Of these boats were made so
hot from the steam from the sea
that the ice in which their fish
were packed was melted.
All of the railroad lines in the
southern and western part of Mex
leo have been practically destroy
ed. In scores of places the road
bed was carried completely away.
This has interferred with the ex-
ecution of the governments meas-
ures of relief. The bishop of Chi
lap telegraphs that the destruc-
tion of Chilapa was almost COM
plete, that in many instances
whole families were killed and
that the need of relief is urgent.
The tidal wave which swept ov-
er the town of Acapulco did great
damage.
