GOOD PROSPECTS
FOR OIL NEAR HERE
Outsiders Are Investigating
the Pace Oil Field and
Are Optimistic.

Mr.. q. b. Haynes returned yes
terday from Winfield, where he
went to ascertain developments in
the oil field near that place, where
the Pace Oil Co. is sinking a well.
The well is now about thirteen
hundred feet deep and Mr.. Hay
mes thinks the prospects for oil
are In every way most encourag.
ing. Several attempts have been
made to get oil in this field, in the
past few years but these efforts
have failed and for no good rea-
son it Is believed, except for the
lack of capital To reach a depth
that would be considered a fair
test. If OIL can be found within
200O feet, which judging from the
Caddo field is II fair test, the Pace
Oil Co. is going after it.-Monroe
News.
The projected oil field at Winn-
field has been recently attracting
more than the ordinary attention
and investigation. There have
not been wanting investors who
desire to secure options on land
in the vicinity of the well now
being bored.
The surface indications possess
all the earmarks of some of the
most promising oil fields in the
southwest and there is increasing
confidence in the ultimate discov-
cry of oil in paying qualities.
The experiment has developed
the presence of an abundance of
gas and one of the most remarka-
BILE mineral waters found any
where in the country, and its cur
ative properties have been tested
beyond the shadow of any doubt,
and can be substantiatei, if nec-
essary, by the sworn afiidavits of
well and widely known citizens of
the State. If no other develop
ment follows the efforts to dis
cover oil, this of itself will be of
incalculable benefit, and will at
tract numbers of the afflicted to
test Its curative waters.

IMMIGRATION FOR WISCONSIN.

The publisher is just in receipt of
the first issue of publication known
as the Wisconsin Homeseeker, issued
by the Chicago & Northwestern Ry.
for the purpose of stimulating i'm
migration to Wisconsin and furnish
ing information in regard to it's natur-
al resources.
A series of letters from settlers is
published in the Homeseeker, in which
these pioneers tell in an interesting
way something of their experiences in
establishing new homes and develop
ing their land into profitable farms.
The Northwestern is DESTROYS of
securing as many more testimonials of
this kind as possible. A letter from
you would appeal strongly to the pros
pective homeseeker, and every home
steader is earnestly invited to write a
letter telling of the crops, soil, climate,
schools, the cost of getting a start,
etc., for use in this manner, and send
it to us together with the names and
addresses of friends in the East who
would be interested in having a copy
of the "Homeseeker," illustrated
books, maps and other literature
mailed to them free of charge.

subject to Mr.. w. B. Kniskern. P. T.

In spite of assessments Mr.. A. has

companies to pay nearly forty al

any money out. 1t seems to me
that the showing made by these
two mutuals is creditable one in
deed. Aside from this these COM
panies are reliable and trustworthy
in the fullest sense of the word. No
one need fear that these mutuals
will ever settle their losses at 20 or
80 per cent or get out by paying
nothing at all as has been the case
with some stock companies. 1t
seems to me that merchants and
manufacturers in Wisconsin have
never had occasion to regret having
accepted mutual policies.

To the Editor: Referring to the
article Mutual Levy Assessments,
contained in your issue of June Is,
permit me to say that your state
ments are altogether misleading
The fact Is these companies levied
assessments equal to 30 per cent and
80 per cent, respectively of the pre-
miums charged by these companies,
which premiums were calculated
upon one half of the old line rate,
so that the actual levy in the form
er case Is % percent. and in the lat
ter case 80 percent of the old line
rate.
The Hortonville and De Forest
Mutuals were organized in the year
1896. The assessment you refer to
is the first one that has ever been
made by the HOrtonville company
ard the second one made by the De
Forest company. Distributing the
actual cost of insurance (ncluding
premiums and assessments over
this period of twelve years it does
not amount to over 521 percent of
the old line rate of the Hortonville
company. The actual cost in in the
De Forest company in the twelve
years of existence, including two
assessments is less than So percent
of the board rate.
Further more, I ask you to go
with me just little into a detailed
history of the actual cost of insur-
ance in these mutuals.

The girl had been convicted of man

newly born infant on May a. and
Judge Won Moschzisker had imposed
the highest sentence possible, which
meant only five months imprison-

a verdict Of death, having been in

She was, therefore, overjoyed by her

AS she passed the bench on her way

stop her, but the judge. waved them
aside and held out his hand with a
