WILDCAT WELL Is BUSTER
Prospeetors Lose Hope of Extending
Oil Field.

Oakland City, Ind. Aug. 23.--With
the last wildcat well drilling in the lo-
cal oil and gas field buster, hopes
for an eastern extension of the field
have been abandoned. The well just
completed was drilled by James Craw-
ford Of Terre Haute and was located
two miles east Of production territory.
The well was test for the brown
sand, the Oakland City formation hav-
ing been tested in that locality. The
location was OH the Thompson farm
in Monroe township, Pike county. The
well was abandoned at a depth of L.
465 feet.

SPEED DEMONS TO
RACE At BIG FAIR
WILD BOB BuRNAM AND HAIR
RoUN TO THRILL VISITORS AT
GRAND RAPIDS SEPT. Ills.
RACING ON WEDNESDAY
All the Reckless Feats Of the In
dianapolis and Other Track
Will Be Possibilities In
This Event.

| The two most marvellous inven-
tons of the genius of man-the aero
plane and the automobile-will be
very much in evidence at the annual
exposition of the West Michigan State
Fair in Grand Rapids, Sept. IL to Is.
Nothing has ever been invented that
will equal the tremendous speed Of
the great, powerful racing automobile,
nor the conquering Of the air by the
aeroplane.
Put the two together in mad race
around the mile track at the fair
grounds and the spectators will have
all the thrills they can stand in one
day. But this is what the officials of
the fair have provided for this years
heart palpitator.
But better even than this, Secretary
e. d. Conger has arranged for auto
mobile races between the fastest cars
ever seen on any track and driven by
those speed demons who know no
fear and who daily risk their lives in
hair-raising feats which try the
nerves of the onlookers.
Among the possible entries in these
thrilling events are Wild Bob Bur-
nam in his great Benz car, who holds
the worlds records for speed and who
but recently invited president Taft to
enjoy ride with him. The president
looked at the great whirring car and
declined with thanks, saying he would
be pleased to see Bob ride, but for
himself he would take a slower ma
chine.

HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY.
Diet If Bilious.

The question of diet is all i'm
portant to the person prone to
biliousness. When the liver Is
secreting an excess of bile 1t il
q certain indication that the al
bumen in the dietary Is beyond
the body's requirements and
should be lessened. This is seen
from the demonstrated fact that
the bile itself Is produced from
albuminoids and that with re-
duction Of albumen the secretion
Of bile is correspondingly re-
duced.

Harroun Also Probable.

Harroun, the winner of the great
Indianapolis race, the greatest ever
held in America, is another probable
ity. That race was of so recent a
date that none has had a chance to
forget the terrible features of it, when
tires, rendered glowing by the fric'
ton, rolled away, splitting the drivers
and mechanicians upon the track in
the path of the oncoming demons OF
death. That there was but one fatal.
ity, it will be remembered, was due
to the marvellous work and terrible
risk taken by the other drivers who
swerved their cars upon two wheels
past the outstretched bodies and
themselves escaped death by but a
hairs breadth.
Other entries are the Flying Squad
racing team Of Chicago, driving 100
horse power De Dietrich cars and
holding the worlds record for 100
miles.
These events, which will be held
Wednesday, Sept. 13, and which is
Grand Rapids day, will attract to the
fair grounds the greatest crowd which
ever damned through the gates and
the thrills in store cannot be told in
advance.
One interesting feature of such
races may not be generally known to
the public. None of these great rae
ing cars are driven to and from the
fair grounds. Their drivers always
tow them with slow car. The rea-
son is simple when it is understood
Michigan laws prohibit the driving of
cars faster than 25 miles an hour. and
local ordinances prohibit driving
faster than 10 miles in the outskirts
and miles in the downtown district.
Now these great cars are so powerful
and are geared so high that they can
not be slowed down to less than 40
miles an hour, so it would manifestly
be impossible for the driver to OBJ
serve the laws. Moreover, one of
those great cars going at so miles an
hour would endanger the lives of
thousands of persons. For this reason
1t is necessary to tow them to and
from the trains and also upon the
track.

whole foundation OF this absurd story
is as follows;
"A local newspaper sent to me the

know what the Ten Commandments
were or where they were 10 be found
He brought clipping which stated
that the ConvocatIon of Canterbury
had appointed the Dean of Winchester
to prepare shortened form of the Ten
commandments, abbreyiating especial
ly the second, fourth and tenth. He
asked me what the statement meant.
] told him that it probably meant
using the Imperative clauses only of
the three Commandments mentioned:
Thou shalt not make to myself any
craven image" Remember that thou
keep holy the Sabbath day" Thou
shalt not covet.' I impressed upon
him that this did not mean a revision
OF the Biblical version but only or
the form used in the Catechism and
possibly in the Ante Communion SER

told him that the matter was OF little
consequence. but possibly such a

PAYS TRIBUTE TO
VIRGINIA. TEAM
ORANGE AND BLUE YOUNGSTERS
SHOW GREAT PROMISE, SAYS
WRITER WHO SAW GAMES.

WASHINGTON, u. c., March e.
The following tribute to the Univer-
sity of Virginia track team is paid by
the Washington Post:
When virginia's track team won
the point trophy cup In the George
town meet Saturday night against enc
of the greatest arrays of athletic tai
snt that has ever competed in this
city. IL bore out the prediction made
by the Post q short while ago.
The writer saw Ave of the Virginia
team take second point honors at
Baltimore and foretold victory for
the Orange and Black In the George
town games. IF we can win second
place here with these i've men l can
cop the meet in Washington with my
entire track team" was the way Pop
Lannigan expressed it. and the vet
eran trainer made good.
Lannigan is not a man who boasts
OF the prowess of his boys, as ne
calls them, but he knows what they
can do, and when he makes IA state
ment one can generally cash on it,
Who expected Virginia to win the
meet? There might have been few
In that large audience. One man was
sure. 1t was Lannigan.
Virginia hackers offered 2 to j
that the relay team would beat
Georgetown, and this went begging.
Perhaps this tip came from Lanni-
gan, but II Is doubtful No one knew
the makeup OF the relay team until
they went on the floor that night, ax-
cept the members themselves and
their trainer. Lannigan picked his
team after the arrival in this city.
and his selection proved a good one.
1t was the youngest relay team
that Virginia ever sent to this city
mere boys, In fact---but they delivered.
Lannigan says that Nirginia's track
team is rne youngest he has ever
been asked to handle. but believes
that he has the nucleus for one of the
greatest teams Virginia has ever
turned out. If these athletes can
take the measure of such men as
| represented Yale. Cornell Princeton.
Georgetown and Johns Hopkins, what
will they be able to accomplish when
| they are developed? One thing is GER
tain. II the material now at hand
remains under I4anniganss. charge tfr-
ginia bids fair to become worthy OPP
| ponents of any college in the country

One OF Richmond's strongest edu-
cational institutions is the Union
Theological Seminary, located in Gin
ter Park, the training school for a
large proportion of the ministers of
the Southern Presbyterian church.
The seminary is planning to cele-
brate its centennial In May. 1912, and
in anticipation of that event the board
OF trustees recently inaugurated a
campaign for a large increase in the
endowment and equipment of the in
stitution. This campaign was en-
dorsed heartily by the two controll-
Ing synods Of Virginia and North
Carolina. the former undertaking to
secure $4,000 and the latter $685.
eco, making a total increase of $780,
600 in the funds OF the seminary.
Some three years ago this campaign
was launched at joint meeting of
all the Presbyterian congregations
held in the First church. At that
time 1t was determined that Rich
rfiond should erect a much needed
building for the accommodation of
the rapidly increasing number of stu
dents. Richmond Hall is the splen-
did structure that resulted from this
effort 1t was built at a cost OF some
$4,000, and has been occupied now
for. two sessions. This enlarged equip
ment came just In time to accommo-
date the largest enrolment OF stu
dents iii the history OF the seminary.
/ For several months the canvass for
funds has been conducted through
out the two synods under the efficient
direction of Rev. w. 8. Lacy, field
secretary. A generous response has
been secured. and the fund has reach
ed approximately $4,000. Practi-
cally all the territory outside OF Rich
mond has been covered, and those In
charge of the movement are coming
into Richmond with the confident
hope that the home city OF the semi
nary will make good the balance need
ed. 1t liz especially imperative that
because sal, 900 of the above $4,000
entire 100000 by May ], 1911. Just
about half Of the Gust of Richmond
Hall has been secured. This leaves
approximately $4,000. which the
seminary authorities are endeavorine
to secure among the friends of the
| institution here within the next few
weeks.
All the Presbyterian pulpits In the
city were occupied Sunday morning
in the interest Of this movement, and
this In being followed up by a per-
sonal canvass for funds.
Richmond never falls to RESPOND
generously to the appeals Of every
worthy cause. and the Representatives
OF Union Seminary deserve and will
no doubt receive the cordial sympa-
thy and encouragement OF the many
friends Of the institution here.
