Big Boom in Petroleum- Next to iron and wool, the petrol turn niatket has advanced so rapidly in prices that within the past year values have shown the phenomenal inciease of too per cent., and the crude article, which is now eagerly sought in a wholesale way in large quantities, readily brings $1.66 per barrel, with the prospect of going still higher, when ten months ago So cents was considered a fair price. At the big oil refinery down at Point Breeze, where the bulk of the crude petroleum is shipped for refin ing by the Standard Od Company, it as stated that tiade was never so active, and the general market de mand was at least from twenty to thirty thousand barrels ahead of the output. A well-known oil shipper, in speak ing ot the big jump in prices on pe troleum, said: "The fact is that the oil product is gradually giving out, and in many instances the wells are becoming exhausted. The export de mand has increased so largely that petroleum is getting scarcer, and un less new finds are discovered and ad ditional wells sunk it will not be long ere the burners ol the midnight oil will be obliged to pay round prices or the refined article. By retail prices have nearly tripled, and they may yet go higher." J'hila. rress. Must Pay Tor Their Fun. A case which for two days occupied the attention of the Curt in Lehigh county resulted in a verdict for the plaintiffs. . It was the case of Andrew Stephens in his own right, and in light of his minor daughter, Florence, against Frank R. Addis and Harold Leh. Stephens sued for damages for injuries to his child. On the night of July 4 the defend ants, who are young residents of Al lentown, placed a ten-inch dynamite cracker in a cast-iron pipe on Centre square. The cracker blew the pipe to pieces, one ot which struck the girl under the eye, inflicting a perma nent injury. The case was stubbornly contested and resulted in a verdict in favor of Stephens tor $100 and in fa vor of his daughter for $1,300. The case has an important bearing on Fourth of July celebrations and the jury practically decided that if care ' less people injure others in the explo sion of fire crackers they are liable to damages.

I The recent act of assembly, signed ' April 28th, 1899, has for its object the preventing of the spread of con tagious diseases known as yellows, black knots, peach rosette and pear blight among orchard and rursery trees, and also to eradicate the infec tion known as the San Jose scale. Accordingly to the provisions of this act it is unlawful for any person to keep or sell any orchard or nursery tree or any shrubbery infected with any of these diseases. It shall be the duty ot all persons as soon as they be come aware of existence of such dis ease to forthwith destroy or cause to be destroyed said trees or shrubbery. They must report the causes of such infection to the township auditors or the borough or city council, who will then appoint three freeholders as ; commissioners. It shall be the duty ' of the commissioners to examine all suspected trees, and if desired to mark them properly and give notice thereof to the owner. The notice shall con tain a statement of the existing fact and an order to treat the affected tree with insecticides or to destroy them 1 by fire within five days from the time that the notice is given. If the own ers neglect to obey the notice then it shall be the duty of the commissioners to destroy the tree and the fruit. The expenses for the destruction or re moval of the trees and fruit, when done by the commissioners shall be charged to the township borough or city.

The commissioners shall be paid two dollars a full day and one dollar for each half day and their expenses while acting in that capacity. These payments and expenses can be recov ered from the district in which the infected trees are located. The dis trict in turn can recover the money so expended from the owner or lessee of the trees in action ot assumpsit. If any owner neglects to uproot or destroy all such trees or fruit after having been civen notice, or shall off er for sale such diseased fruit they shall be deemed guilty of misdemean or and nunished by a fine not exceed ing $100 within the discretion of the court. Bear Chases Clergyman. Mi. Henry Moyer, a prominent farmer, residing near Salem, Snyder countv. is seriously ill at his home. His pastor, Rev. H. G. Snable, vol unteered to sit up with his sick parish loner last Friday night to minister to his possible needs. Farly next morn ins, while it was yet quite dark, the nre.irher. while on his way to his home, encountered a bear along strip of timber, which the clergyman had to nass. Mr. Snable started to run, with bruin in close pursuit, but reached his house without being captured. An hour later Dr. B. F. Wacenseller was driving by the same woods to visit his patient when he also encountered bruin in the middle of the road, but by laying the whip dextrously upon his spirited horse he left the bear far in the rear. Clergyman and physi cian were badly scared.

By private subscription and an ap peal to the Indiana legislature there Is being mnde an elTort to preserve at Strawtown, lnd., the most famous and hlstorlo l&ndmark of tliut Mate. This is the old log hut wherein, 73 years ago, the capital commission fixed upon In dianapolis as the political head of In diana. About 1819, three years after the state had been admitted to the union, It was decided to remove the cnpital from HOUSE WITH A IIISTOItY. (Ilooslor Lawmakers red to Meet Within It'a Plain Walla.) Corydon to a more central point In the state. It was realized thut Corydon was too far south to ever become a permanent cnpital, and when the legis lature decided upon n t'hange tlie gov ernment offered the state four sectious of land lying together at any one point thev might select. The legislature of 1S10 appointed a committee to locate the new cnpital. On the 7th of June, 1S20, thisconimit tce congregated, with John Connor nt Strawtown, and began their famous session. The old log house still stands, und it is one of the landmarks that It is now proposed shall be preserved. The tradition at Strawtown Is that the present cross-roads village came within one vote of being the capital r. the state. The story has It that but for one of the commissioners going fishing the day the balloting on locntlon took place, Strawtown would have won, and what is now Indianapolis would be farm lands. Four locations had been proposed. John Connors represented the Straw town location. The present site of the capital, just 20 miles further down the river, and the bluffs, near Waverly, In Morgan county, 20 miles still further down, were the principal points con sidered. Yet, it Is known that Strawtown was formidable factor In the considera tion of the commissioners, despite the fact that the only record mnde regard ing the selection of a new location at Strawtown was made by John Upton, and is summed up In a line In his state ment: "Very uneven, good water, line sprlngs,20-foot fall, If level on top would be the most beautiful spot 1 nave ever seen. In 1821 the legislature acted on the report and the appropriation was made for the erection of the new statehouse nt Indianapolis, then a barren section of land. The legislature of 1825 met In the new statehouse. The town was really Inac cessible and was possibly the most try ing place In the state to reach, espe cially In the dead of winter, when the legislature met. The nearest point of civilization was Connersville, 60 miles away, and It Is claimed men hnd to ride there to get their tobacco. Tbe change 75 years has worked has been magical, and Indianapolis to-day is quite a different matter. PREMIER OF AUSTRIA.
