PYRAMID BRINGS
IN BIC OIL WELL
Money Maker Is Producing 100
Barrels a Day at Santa
Paula

The Pyramid Oil company's new well
on it's Santa Paula property, which has
Just been completed at depth of 1855
feet with S-inch casing, has been placed
on the pump, and the company states
it is producing oil at the rate of 100
barrels a day. The oil, which is u
gravity, carries a high percentage OF
gasoline and illuminants and is worth
81 a barrel, being one of the best re
fining products in the state. G.. ).
johnson, president of the Pyramid
company, expresses the belief that the
new we'll will produce in excess of lOO
barrels a day when thoroughly cleared
of sand He says it will take at least
thirty days to bring the well to its
best.
No. well on this property will be
spudded in within a few days and No.
as soon as the derrick can be in
stalled. These wells will be drilled fur
ther north from the break than No. l
and still larger producers are expect
ed. These wells will be drilled not
only to tap the sands from which No.
1 takes its production but to sufficient
additional depth to penetrate a deeper
sand from which a greatly increased
production is expected. They viii be
approximately 1000 feet deep and from
ninety to 100 days will be required in
drilling. Two strings of tools will be
kept in operation on this property in
the future.
No 1 well on the Pyramid company's
North Midway lease in section 26-31-22,
which is in the midst of the gushers
of that vicinity, will be spudded in as
soon as the water line is completed,
which will be within a few days. This
is proven ground and big wells are
regarded as a certainty.
Four derricks have been installed
on the 16OO-acre tract of ground re-
Gently purchased by the Pyramid COM
pany in the eastern section of the Mid
way field near the Honolulu well and
the anagement expects to have three
or four wells drilling within thirty
days.

VAN DYCK PAINTING IS
DAMAGED BY A STORM

BERLIN, April 3O-Serious damage
was done last week to one of the
worlds most celebrated paintings, Van
Dyck's Burial of Christ" at the old
Pinakothek museum at Munich. A vio-
lent rainstorm sent a large portion
of the skylight in the Van Dyck room
of the museum, which contains forty
six of the Flemish masters works,
crashing into the Van Dyck canvas.
A strip containing the arm and shoul-
der of the Madonna was ripped off,
but the figure of the Saviour was not
harmed. An official statement asserts
that the damage is not irreparable, but
it is privately admitted that the in
juries are exceedingly grave. The dam
aged work dates from Van Dycks S
Italian Journey in the first quarter of
the seventeenth century.
You can buy It, perhaps at many places but
there's one BEST place to buy it-and that
place qdvertises.

At a former meeting of the league,
NJ. H. Sexton of Rock Island, J. T.
Hayes of Davenport and R. H. John
son of Peoria were appointed a special
committee to audit the books of Mr..
Sexton. the retiring president, secre-
tary and treasurer of the league. A
day was set for the work, and Mr..
Johnson and Mr.. Hayes came to Rock
Island to meet with Mr.. Sexton. john
son said that he had other business
in Davenport, and the inference was
that he would accept Mr.. Hayes re
port on the books of Mr.. Sexton. The
latter assisted Mr. Hayes and they
made the audit Johnson returned
after the work was completed. and
indicated that he was satisfied with
the correctness of the report of the
committee. For some reason both Mr..
Hayes and Mr.. Johnson neglected to
sign the report 1t was presented at
the league meeting yesterday at the
afternoon session. Johnson, who was
present at the morning session, left
at noon for his home. Mr.. Hayes ex-
pressed surprise at the action of John
son in instructing his proxy, Dave
Rowan, not to sign the report if re-
quested to do SO. Mr.. Hayes served
notice on Mr.. Johnson that he would
Immediately demand a meeting with
him even if he had to spend a day
hunting him up in Peoria. and to in
sist on an explanation of his action.
All those at the meeting were con-
WINGED that the report was accurate,
but to avoid future disagreements It
was ordered that hereafter an annual
audit by private firm be made of the
league records. The special commit
tee, Sexton, Hayes and Johnson, was
continued to give it opportunity to turn
in signed report. The report of Mr. !
Sexton shows a balance of $1,65422 !
in the league treasury.

BOWLERS LEAVE
FOR THE BIC MEET
Five Men from This City and
Moline Will Represent the
Twin Cities.
AT DETROIT TOURNAMENT
Team Consist of Hampton, SalZman,
Stauffer, DonahOO and WOoten
All in Fine Form.

The bowling team which is to repre-
sent this city and Moline at the ma
| tional tournament being held in De
troit will leave for that city tomorrow
| at noon. The party will consist of o.
B. Hampton and Arthur SalZmann OF
this city, and Abe Stauffer. Frank Don
ahoo and Fred Wooun of Moline. Ac-
cording to schedule, they will do their
team bowling at 10 o'clock Friday
night, and on the following morning at
10 four of the players will roll in the
doubles. For this event Hampton and
Salzmann are to roll as one team and
Stauffer and Donahoo as another.
Wooten will not participate in the
doubles. They will bowl at 4 o'clock
Saturday in the single event. Their
schedule is a very good one. inasmuch
as it gives them chance to rest up be-
tween each round, and they hope to
get in on the money prizes to some eX-
tent There are $4,000 posted as
prizes, and 41O teams are entered in
the race to get some of this.
Locals Have Chance.
The local bowlers have been rolling
in exceptionally fine form ever since
organizing their team for the national
tournament. If they are able to bowl
in Detroit as we'll as they have been
doing here, there is no doubt that they
will carry off a share of the prize
money. Hampton especially has been
in form and he and Salzmann are hop
ing to go above the 1900 mark in the
doubles. The Moline contingent con-
sists of excellent bowlers also and
the chances of the team as a whole
are considered very good.
The team held it's last practice last
evening, and it was most encouraging.
o. B. Hampton broke the alley record
at the Harms alleys by making a score
of 2S9, just one pin shy of a perfect
score. He bowled 10 straight strikes,
and then on the 18th frame one of the
pins refused to go down, although the
ball had rolled just as truly to the
right spot as it had before. All the
men hung up scores better than 200
during the evenings practice.

ProstratiOn

L suffered so with Nervous
Prostration that thought there
was no use trying to get we'll. A

at first, 1 soon found myself re-
covering, and am to-day we'll. |"
MRS. D. 1. JONES,
$500 Broadway, Cleveland, O.
Much sickness is of nervous
origin. It's the nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach di-
gest food, the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the blood.
If any of these organs are weak,
it is the fault of the nerves
through which they get their
strength. DR.. Miles Nervine is
a specific for the nerves. It
soothes the irritation and assists
in the generation of nerve force.
Therefore you can hardly miss
it if you take DR.. Miles Nervine
when sick. Get a bottle from
your druggist. Take it all ac-
cording to directions, and if it
does not benefit he will return
your money.
