The Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows of the State of Mis souri, which last year passed a resolu tion refusing to admit saloon keepers to the order, has been reversed by the Sovereign Grand Lodge, now in session in Topeka. The order was almost split in two on the liquor question in this State, and the victory of the saloon keepers is a source of chagrin to the majority. The Sovereign Lodge held that the action of the Missouri lodge was unconstitutional. The Masonic order eliminated the saloou keeping element from its rank a few years ago, and thetaction of the Odd Fellows was taken out of deference to this precedent, but the Masons are not compelled to abide by the decision of a sovereign body similar to that of the Odd Fellows, as any action taken by the State Grand Lodge is final.

A new feature was developed to-day in the Wild wood fields, which may, in the future, be come an important factor in the production of this pool. The innovation was brought about by the drilling of the Menke farm "well down to the fourth sand strata, which apparently has been attended with tbe most satisfactory results. The present status of the new well is comparatively embryonic, but if the bright promises given by its first stage is borne out in the future, Wildwood, nnqnestionably, will occupy a prominent position among the many pools of the fgreat southwest. This well is owned by Patterson, Griffith Miller, and was dry as a powder horn in tbe Wildwood or third sand horizon, of which there was only 22 feet, broken and irregular in its formation. The fourth sand wis struck at 1,773 feet, there being only four feet of a break between this and the third. At 32 feet In tbe drill tapped tbe pay, and the well began spraying at the rate of 75 barrels a dav, which it was still maintaining to-night. The boiler is being moved out and to-morrow the drill will tell tbe whole story. This unexpected phase of the Menke well has awakened a new interest and a number of small producers in tbe tBird sand, will, in all probability, be drilled to the fourth. So con fident are they that the new fourth sand devel opment will prove a paying investment the same parties have located two more wells, and in a few days rigs will be ready for the drill. Greenlee k Forst's Ice Pond well is turning out better than was at Srst expected, and since 8 o'clock last night has made eight barrels an hoar. Galley & Co's No. 1, Blvle farm, to night is SI feot in the sand and showing for a 25 or 30 barrel welt If this production is not increased with deeper drilling in the third sand it will be drilled to the fourth. At 5 o'clock this afternoon the Smith Farm uu uompany, on the Smith farm, tapped the firstpay. The well is a strong gasser, and is spraying some oil. Further drilling has been postponed until the boiler Is moved out and by iimdo row night the well will have declared itself. The Young well was not drilled any deeper to-day, but bis made an average pro duction for the past 21 hours of ten inches or 600 barrels. Burke & McBride. on the Doe Moon farm, were nine feet in the sand to-night with 50 feet of oil in the hole; the digging is hard and on this accounttogether with other mishaps, but little headwav has been made. The company will start drilling No. 2, Moon, m a few davs. nnd arn bmlrlinf No. 3 ritr. Griffith's No. 2, Rolshouse, will not eettbo sand as soon as was expected, but the way things now look it should find the interesting spot Saturday, while Bowman 4 Co. No. 1, Bolshouse, expect the pay about tbe same time Gibson & Giles' No. 1, Scott, is reported 30 feet in the sand, and at this depth is showing for a 23-barrcI well. '1 he Roth Oil Company's Nos. 1 and2 are making 2S inches an hour, and in the past 21 hours together have produced 3,000 barrels. Greenlee & Forst's No. 6 is doing ou oarreis an nour. The production ox the field to-day was over 8,000 barrels. Bntlt-r County Well. Butler In this field J. A. Leidecker shot his No. 3 Boggs with 15 quarts on Thursday. The Forest Oil Company's No. i, Spithuller, was shot with ten quarts on Friday, and made a small flow. Tbe same company's No. 1, on the same farm, had the casing pulled to-day, Tues day, and will be shot up in the 100-foot These are all old wells. In tbe 100 foot field Andrews A Company's No. 5, Witte farm, are In the 100 foot sand and showing some oil. The One Hundred Foot Oil Company hare timber on the ground for two more wells on the L Ander son farm. McLane No. 11, McLane farm, ex pects the sand this week. Markhatn & Co.'s JSo, 1, Merchem farm, was shot on Monday, and is sbowing for a w ell. Latshaw Co.'s No. 2, Allen farm, Zelienople, reached the sand on Monday, and is rated all the way trow 120, which is safe, to 175 barrels. There are several new ventures drilling in the vicinity of Winters' Mills, midway between the Big creek developments and Zelienople. Goehring & Co. started tbe drill on tbe Dahm farm on Friday. This well is located a short distance from Kldenau station, on tbe Pitts burg and Western. Tbe One Hundred Foot Oil Companj, on tbe McGee, arc 450 feet deep. The Pittsburc Oil Company, on tbe Welsh, are down 230 feet Markham fc Co. have a rig up on tbe McGee. and Sclilegle &. Co. are building one on the McDonald farm. The old Steel well, on tbe Spithuller, that was a great gasser in tbe gas sand, has been drilled to tbe 100 foot. and is showing oil in the third pay. This strengthens the belief of a connection between Big creek and the Zelienople field. HUXDltED-rOOT WELLS. Black. Reisenman L Co.'s well, on the Hiram Graham farm, in the 100-foot field wa3 com pleted to-day. It contained 10 feet of excellent white sand, and will make at least a 100-barrel producer. It is located 20 rods east of produc ing wells, and is considered quite important. The Thomas Graham tract adjoining, on which a well was drilled last summer, is likely to prove to be good A number of wells are drill ing on it and this strike will, no doubt result in several new locations being made. Bolard, Barr & Gross torpedoed their No. -i, on the James Welsh, yesterday, and it made several Hows. It willnnake at least a SO-barreler. There have been no new wells brought in in the Gould field for several dars. Christie & Crosby shot their No. 1 on the Absalom Monks farm yesterday, and it responded by throwing a column of oil over the top of the derrick. It was lidding 75 barrels per day before it was torpedoed, and its production was largely in creased by tho shot The well on the John Jack farm, which was agitated on Friday last, has been doing about 50 barrelssince then. The Chartiers Oil Company are drilling a well on tbe J. B. Flick farm, and are budding a rig on tbe Robert Jack farm. 1 THE EASTERN BELT. Operations are quito bnsK on tho Eastern belt, near Millerstown. Tittley & Co. No. 2, and Hunter & Cnmmlngs No. 2, on the Adam Kamerer, will get tho sand on Saturday. The Jew Oil Company No. 2, on tho same farm, has attained a depth of 800 feet and 13 being reamed down. A strong vein of salt water was struck in the first sand, which was unusual for this field. Tittley & Co.'sNo.3. on the Kam erer, and Hunter A Uuinmings' No. 3, on the same farm, are ready to drill. Tittley & Co.'s No. 2, on the Wiles, is down 800 teet Wester man & Co.'s No. 43, on the Beep, is drilling, and tbo rigs are up for No. 5 and 6. Tittley & Co 's No. 1, on the Mvers, is down 100 feet. Campbell A Murpln'sNo. 1. on tho Kamerer. has attained the same depth. Simpson, Recp & Co. are building a rig on the Beep, Campbell. Gansz & Co. No. 5; on the S. Mar shall farm. Forward township, just completed. Is doing 125 barrels per diy. WalUron fc Klinginsmith's No. 1, on the W. S. Waldron farm, half a mile north of Evans City, is through the sand and producing 20 barrels per day. Srcn'a tatinicls Questioned. Mr. A. F. Burns, one of the leading operators of Clarion county, in an interview with The DcLrATcn reporter ventilated his opinion upon the rednction of premium, and the oil business In general in the following style: "In Mr. Secp's interview about premium oil he says the Stardard were forced to do as they had for self protection, as the Immense pro duction made it absolutely necessary to reduce tbe premium. Now It occurs to me if the Standard men would attend strictly to their own business that of refining and piping oil the production would bo considerably less, as one-half the white sand oil is owned and produced hvmen who are con nected with the Standard Refining Company, and these same men have agents all over the oil country bu j Ing oil wells and leasing up oil territory, thereby creating an unnatural state of affairs. As tbe immense profit in tbe refin ing business as now carried on by this monopo ly is put right back into the field and 0II1 wells are drilled by the hundred, money seeming no object, small operators loot on with wonder and have to content themselves witb some sucker rod streak or out-of-the-way territory that Is not noticed bv tbis octopus. "This state of affairs does not exist In any other busines, simply because the laws of supply and demand are not tampered with, and a good, bealtby competition enters in. The situation would not be so bad if the consumer got the benefit, as it would show that no undue advantage was taken. Such, however, Is not the case, as tbe profits In the refining branch alone are very large. Look at tbe years tbe Standard got tbe white oil at tbe same price as Bradford, when other com- Sanies claimed, and did pay, 20 and cents premium, and sold refined oil at the same price as before, and also labored under disadvantages too numerous to mention. Still, they made large profits until they bad ti take oil from the pipe lines at some remote place where tbe freight cost as much as tbe oil when they got it to the refinery. Bill Nye said he bad read somewhere, either in 'Purdon's Digest, tho almanac or Bible, that the earth J was tbe Lord's and the fullness thereof. He did not want the earth, but would like enough of the fullness for one grown person. This shows clearly that Bill is no Standard man. ir he was, he would want tbe Lord to give him a quit claim for tbe earth's surfaco and 09-yeas lease at one-eighth royalty for tee fullnesr thereof." Ouo More Dusler. ' Cn aktiebs Chartiers to-day scored another duster. It was Bennett & Co.'s venture on the Oatman, located 1,200 feet a little south of east from Bryant No. 1. and on tho southeast line of tho field. Notwithstanding the fact that tbe Oatman is dry the McKee's Rock Oil Company are still drilling their well on the McGunnigle, located east and down the creek from the Oat man. Theyare putting in the 5-inch casinir. Logan & Vandergritt's No. 1, Gutbrie. located across tho railroad from Duff station, is In the sand and shut down, moving tbe boiler. The McKee's Rocks No. L Younkers, is drilling in the squaw sand where a strong vorn of gas was tapped. The boiler and forge were removed at a safe distance, and drilling has been resumed. This is the farthest location east from devel opments in this field. The same company on the Guthrie are putting in a string of & i Inch casingtoshutolTadoseofsaltwaterintheSOroot above the Centennial Band. The syndicate drilling on the Hurley lot, are in tbe loo-ioot, with the hole full of salt water. Fred Lauinger, on the Caughey lot Is abont roady for tbe 84 casing, and N, W. Stevenson, on tho Bailey, is down 550 feet Goettman Co., on the John son farm, are spudding, and Stett 4 Co., started the drill to-dav in No. 2 Crawford, as did the Fisher Oil Company, in No. i Dickson. The latter company will commence drilling No. Z Painter, Saturday, while Stevenson, on the Lauinger lot, is drilling at 600 feet. Al. 1 onng, on a town lot, will soon get to drilling, while the Combination Oil Company, No. 2Schushner, are pegging away at SO feet, lhe Manchester Oil Company will find the pay to-morrow In their well on tho Sweeney farm. Producers Up in Arm. Emlenton The Relative Oil Company a few days ago completed a ten-barrel well on tbe Mull farm, and Salisbury &Co. got a20 barreler on the Rcsie, while Crawford & Son wont this ten better on the Lanehner farm. In tbe fourth sand developments they have started drilling No. 2 on the Jones farm, and Morgan A Co. have made a location for No. 3 pn the French farm. Hale & Co. are drilling No. 3 on the Jones farm, Helter & Co. have No. 2 rig up on the French, and Overhall & Co. will finish their well on the Edlnger the last of the week. Tho producers in the Emlen ton district, with the rest of the independent producers, have growth tired and weary of the manner in wnicn tue Standard Oil Company are manipulating the oil business, and are up In arms and mean fizht They are bonna to have a pipe line and re finery of their own, and have taKen steps to this end. An informal meeting of producers in this field was held in Emlenton last week, and tho plan of building a pipe line and a refinery to be located at Emlenton was favorably dis riissnrt. A nrortneer from that locality in formed THE DISPATCH scout to-day that another meeting would soon bo called, when the matter would assume a tangible shape. Mnbonoy's Wildcats. Rochester, Pa. Colonel Paul J. Mahoney, tho successful young operator, has a very im portant wildcat well near Unionville, on Brush creek, Beaver county, that will be in in about ten days. Should this prove a payer, it will open up some new territory, of which Colonel Mahoney controls about 4,500 acres. In addi tion to this he has about l,200,acres northeast of Baden, on which he is also drilling a test well that is now about 1,000 feet deep. He also is drilling a well near ihe Rochester Tumbler Works that is being watcbedwith Interest and is having a new rig put up at New Wilmington preparatory to drilling on a tract of 3,700 acres he has under lease there. His well and leases at Zelienople be sold out a short time ago on a valuation of 525,000. It will be remembered his well at Zelienople was three miles in advance of developments, and was a rank wildcat, yet be struck It rich there. Independent Refinery for Coraopolis, The first tangible movement by the Indepen dent producer toward the building of a refinery may be attributed to tbe Galley Bros. For some time tho Galleys have had in contemplation tbo erection of a hrst-class refinery at Coraopolis, where thev own 150 acres of territory, all of which looks good for 25 or 30 barrel wells. Gailey Bros, are numbered among tbe most prominent successful and practical men en gaged in the production of petroleum. Mr. Samuel Gailey. in discussing tbe situation to day, said to The Dispatch scout: "For some time we have been thinking of putting up a re finery at Coraopolis, and since the Standard has cut tbe premium we have decided to go ahead and build a S25.OC0 plant. We are going into the business not only as an investment, bntbecause the great monopoly has forced us to do so. Building independent refineries and pipe lines is tho only bopo and salvatio.i left the pro ducers." H. McCiantock, , TTOHELED TO THE BAKE. Burslnrs Alaks n Hnul by DIbbIcb an Under ground Wot.
