The following oil article Is from
Lexington dispatch TO the Cour-
ier-Journal.
Last week one OF the deep test
wells which have been drilling in
Clay county for several months was
completed. and came In dry. The
we'll showed small amount OF oil
at about 300 feet but was drilled. to
a depth OF l,l00 feet. No further
Indications appearing, the well will
be abandoned. Interest among the
oil trade in these deep searches has
been marked, partly because II con
stitutes about the only activity just
now outside the developed districts,
and partly because deep drilling is
a new feature of developments. An
other deep search will shortly be
started in Clay county, some dis
tance from the recently listed fail
ure. Two companies are now en-
gagged In deep drilling.
The record in the lower Kentucky
oil fields for week shows an
abatement OF activity The recent
reduction In crude oil prices. while
not applying to the Kentucky pro-
ducts, yet affects the industry to
some extent. There has been q Jet
up in several OF the districts, ras
far as new drilling is concerned,
and the prospects for a winter OF
activity are not very bright. One
new completion In Wayne county Is
much above the average, showing
up for thirty barrels. This strike
was made in one OF the established
pools. One other strike, showing a
production OF ten barrels daily, was
drilled. One completion failed to
show oil. Wayne county was the
only field in the State to furnish a
new production. In the Wolfe coun-
ty district two new rigs are up. Ac-
tivity Is confined to the proven area
around Campton, efforts at develop
ing oil in contiguous territory no
longer being made.
In the extreme eastern section OF
the state, in the Big Sandy Valley,
some progress is being made in
test drilling. Two rigs are up and
drilling. A leasing campaign has
been in progress in that section of
the State contiguous to the West
Virginia districts and much territory
is now held awaiting the outcome
Of some Of the test work being tried
out. II the developments on the
West Virginia side are proven to
extend into Kentucky that end will
witness much activity next spring.

Suicide.
Mrs. Cora DishnaR Takes
CaTbOIiC Acid.
Woman Ends Her Life at PIiChaTd, ".
Va, Twelve Miles North Of
Louisa.

Suicide is not common casualty
in this section, hence when it oc-
ours it usually creates a sensation.
Prichard is the name OF a station
and small settlement on the N. &
w. railroad, about twelve miles be-
low Fort Gay. On Monday morning
last Cora Dishman, a young mar
ried woman of that place, swallow
ed enough carbolic acid to end her
earthly troubles. The Catlettsburg
Tribune further tells OF it:
The tragic event took place at
the residence of Mrs. Smith, widow
of the late Lindsey Smith, one of
the wealthiest and most prominent
citizens of the Big Sandy Valley.
The Dishman woman who is said to
have been entirely respectable, had
been staying with Mrs. Smith and
on last night she retired to her
room. presumably for the night.
Nothing was heard to create any
alarm until at an early hour this
morning when the woman had fail
ed to arise and go about her work
as usual when some one went to
the room and found her wrapt in
the repose of death, with an empty
bottle bearing the fumes of carbolic
acid lying on either side of her on
the bed.
She had apparently gone about
the work after the coolest manner
conceivable considering the gravity
of the act, having written a note
and addressed it to Mrs. Smith
stating that she had reached the
conclusion that life was not worth
the living to her any longer, and
saying that she had decided to end
it. She had undressed herself and
donned her night robe and when
she was discovered there were evi.
dences that she had struggled but
little, after having swallowed the
fatal draught
Mrs. Dishman was formerly Miss
Kits and was born and raised moi
far from where she ended her life
She and her husband had not beer
living together for some time and
it is presumed that the worry over
her unfortunate matrimonial affairs
led to the tragic ending of her life
She was about 2S years old and
is accredited with being good wo
man, hence there is great sorrow
among her former acquaintance
over her sad and untimely end.

hold a contrary opinion.
The only surviving witness to the
tragedy still stoutly maintains the
first statement; that there were not
two men in the car; and this state
ment is credited.
Additional proof is given in the
statement of a witness yesterday,
saw the party as it left the city at
1:15 o'clock Friday morning. 1t is
said that he states positively that only
one man was in the party, thus sup
porting the other witness.

sME HEERMTTA" An EVENT
OF INTEREST IN AMERICUS'
When Presented by the Jeffersons
Wednesday, goth.

Americas play-goers, especially
those who enjoy really meritorious
play and one presented by such stage
celebrities as the Jeffersons, antici-
pate with greatest interest the pre-
sentation Of THE Henrietta at the
oper abuse next Wednesday evening
as the event of the season here.
The Jefferson boys have made
wise move in discarding the old En-
glish comedies in which they have
been appearing for the past several
seasons, yet it must be said to their
credit, that they made a success OF
the old plays by sheer ability alone,
and that, in itself, is an accomplish
ment of no mean order.
In 'The Henrietta" the boys will
be seen in thoroughly modern
comedy with all the scenes laid in
New York City.
The theme of the play is the seeur-
ing control of Wall street and the I'M
folding of the story contains ro-
nance of today, resplendent with up
to-date intrigue, business scheming,
with its plots and counterplots; fl
nancial panic and other stirring yet
plausible events.
In addition to the more serious parts
of the play, a series of delightful
comedy episodes are included In
fact, the predominating feature is the
comedy ande even the more serious
scenes are written with. a comedy
strain that relieves the heavier ten
sion and makes the play one of brill
liant fascination.
The entire play is an exquisite col
lection of human emotions and THE
Henrietta" can justly be described
as one of the most representative
American plays and a thoroughly
modern dramatic classic.

LIBRARY TO CLOSE AT
NOON FOR PRESENT
Finances Do Not Admit of
Assistant

To supply the constantly increas-
ing demand for new fiction, the libra
~ has decided TO place at the dispo-
sal of it's borrowers a Duplicate Pay
Collection" an experiment which has
been successful in many other cities.
A pay duplicate collection is a col
lection of books for the loan Of
which a rental is charged. The col
lection is largely if not entirely fic-
ton and duplicates books in the libra
ry which are in great demand
No book is put into the Duplicate
Collection" unless there is a free copy
in the regular collection, so that the
library is still free.
This plan enables those who are
willing to pay the fee of two cents
a day to get the books earlier than
they otherwise would Books in this
collection may be reserved by the
payment of two cents to cover ex-
pense of notification

Plan viii BE Popular.

These books interfere in no way
with the regular use of the card. as
they are charged to cardholders, but
not on the borrowers card. For ex-
ample-if a borrower has books
charged on his card. and both books
and card are at home, he may stop at
the library and get books from the
rent collection.
AS fee of two cents day is
charged for the use of these books,
the book soon pays for itself, and
then it is put into the regular coIlec-
ton.
1t is hoped that this plan will prove
popular as the condition of the libra
ry finances at present makes the pur-
chase of new books almost impossible
The demand for new books has been
overwhelming, but nothing can be
done until the city comes to the aid
of the library. The books in the rent
collection will be ready Monday aft
ernoon

Closed During Noon Hours.

Up to this time the library has been
open all day without closing at noon
at all, but after a long struggle to
maintain these hours, the lack OF
funds for the employment of an as
sistant has necessitated the closing
of the library for an hour and half
every day at noon. The library will
be closed at II o'clock and will be
opened again at 1:30, in time for the
children coming from school.
1t is hoped that this will not have
to be done for long and that the City
Council will give the library suitable
support.
