A MEETIXG UP IKDEFEXDE5TS To Take Strong Action for the Protection of Their Interests. LATEST DEVELOPMENTS IN TUB FIELD For the past week field operations have not been attended with any startling results. There have been no big wells to report, while on the other hand several dry holes have contributed to the bullish aspect of the situation. Fincgan & Downing had the misfortune to score a dry hole Friday in the Thorn Kun pool, on the Meeks farm, about one mile ahead of developments. They drilled the well 5G feet and were rewarded with a good gasser, which will let them out in good shape. The same company also completed a well Saturday on the McClin ton farm, a half mile northeast from their duster, which will probably make a producer when shot. Johnson & Story, too, luought in a dry hole above St. Mary's, while the Vancluse well just below St. Mary's is in and is a ouster. "Wildwood has not brought in any wore gushers for the past few days, al though sevtral wells on the southwest line have been drilled deeper and found a second pay, which has materially increased their production. The well at McDonald station, Tanhandle road, on the McDonald farm, was drilled Friday and Saturday with out any improvement. The well has ceased spraying and an experienced scout said to The DisrATCH to-night that the venture did not look to him to he good for more than a lour or five-barrel well. The further decline in the market has augmented the feeling of depression among the independent producers, and is acting ns a stimulus and incentive to independent organization. This spontaneous outburst of independent spirits is but the result ot oppression and is not confined to any particular locality, but is general all along the line. Production Regardless of Cost. In a recently published interview with a Standard Oil Company official, it was said that company would continue to produce oil regardl-ss of the price for petroleum. This is as much as to say that it the field price of oil was not sufficient to pay the expenses, it made no difference to a company which, taking that oil Irom the wells, could trans port, refine and market it The price of the manufactu ed article could be maintained owing to the manuiacture being exclusive, aud so long as the manuiacturer was also the producer the profits would remain the same. The only losers would be the pro ducers who were not inteiesled in the manu facture of it. Allow such a monopoly to become a producer of the bulk of the oil, as it is row the manufacturer of it, and the liroducing minority, or the manfacturing minority, could be squeezed alternately, whi'e the profits of the squeezer would remain at a fixed figure Under such circumstances petroleum at 5 cents a barrel orfja barrel would make no difference to the monopoly. Its income would Dot be affected by it, while on the other hand the one price would kill the minority producer, and the other price dismantle the refineries of the minority manu acturer. The Standard has had control of the man ufacture of petroleum for ycar Its policy in the past was to purchase rivals, or drive them from the market by lowering the price of refined. T.is wjs a costly policy and not a wiseone. It was the policy of capital and force and not of brain and shrewdness. Uut it tas the only course to pursue so long as only two of the three branches of the industry were in the hands of the Standard. They were the transporters and manufac turers, but they had no production. "If they used capital and force to overcome their rivals in these two branches, it resulted in benefit to the producer in higher prices, either from increased consumption or speculative advance in prices. It they tried to check the pioducer their manufacturing rivals reaped a benefit. Jn neither case were the advantages to the minority refiner nor the producer equal to those of the Standard, but they were suffi cient to keep the tno parties in the field. Gets All or the 1'roQt. "VVithiu four years the Standard has be come a producer of oil, and now whatever profit there is in producing, transporting, rehnl g or marketing, it gets u all; for it is in each branch ot the business But its pro ducing po-tion is as yet only a small part of the L.ile. For what it has large sums were paid, and expensive management has increased the cost. To become the owner of the bulk of production the easiest way for the Standard was through low prices, and the 'atter has been attained without in any way affecting the profits of the monopoly. Instead, at the difference between refined and crude, their profits have increased owing to the fact that the bulk of the production is still in the hands of outsiders. The shortest route to low prices is through over production, and to this the Standard lias contributed a share a disproportionate as its portion of the cronts. An analysis of the last monthly oil report will prove this, as it shows that of 12,000 barrels new production, the Standard was interested in 4,300 barrels, or more than one-third of the total; while of the 820 new rigs and drilling wells, the Standard was interested in 102, or nearly one-eighth of the total. This is in the Pennsylvania and AVcst Virginia oil regions only. In the Ohio field the Stand ard was interested in 7,4j0 barrels of the 13,779 barrels of new production, or more than one-half; and in 111 of the 297 new rigs and drilling wells. It looks, indeed, as if the Standard -intended to drill and produce oil, regardless of the price of the product! Under these circumstances some few pro ducers are pursuing a conservative business plan which promises to make them inde pendent of any combination. They propose to transport and market their own oil. This is not being done by any large combinations or associations of producers, such as in the past have met, "resolooted" and adjourned, but by the few individual producers of dis tinct pools. One of the companies of the Chartiers district is caring for its own pro duction; several producers of Elk connty are constructing aline for the same purpose, and at Clarendon some of the producers transport, refine and matket their own oil. The Producers Interested. These enterprises will be watched with interest by producers, and if successful will be a hint of the future policy of the pro ducer. From the evidence of a prominent and successtnl business man before the Inter State Commerce Commission at Wash ington the Standard gained a hint which Tnay have shaped its course in regard to buying production. The witness said, in substance, there are but three branches of business, producing, transporting and man ufacturing. He who is engaged in but one branch has two competitors; but he who is engaged in all has no rival. Let the pro ducer take a hint from the same sage re mark. The independent producers of the Emlen ton district held a large and enthnsiastic meeting Saturdav in the Opera House with & view to building a refinery and piping their own oil. The meeting was ably ad dressed by a number of the most prominent citizens and producers in that section of Venango connty. The situation was thor oughly discussed in all its phases, and the consensus of the meeting unquestionably indicated that the new project will be con summated at no distant day. The plan as mapped ont is to bnild a refining plant at a cost of 60,000, to be located near the town. They also propose to bnild pipe lines into the Squaw valley. Ritchie Hun, Byrom Cen ter aud Mariasville districts, and conduct the business wholly within themselves. They are not going into the new enterprise to fight or antagonize the Standard, but on purely business principles. A Decline In Production. Moktoue "Within the lait two months the production of the Montour field has de clined to an alarming extent. It seems as though the bottom had dropped out of nearly all the principal wells. No. 2 Mc Kowan was shot last week and responded nicely, starting ofTata20-barreI-an-hour gait, but in six hours she quit flowing entirely and has made nothing since. The Home wood Oil Company's Schuller farm wells are holding up remarkably well. Some at tribute this to the wells not being shut down ou Sunday. They have bid defiance, as it were, to the Law and Order people, and keep their beams bobbing the same as if there were in the wilds of Butler or Venango counties, where Wishart is nnknowu. Sill, O'Dell and Company have a fishing job for a packer at their No. 2 McElhem. They are still fish ing for tools at their Phillips No. 2. The Fort Pitt Gas Company got the tools out of their Diebold No. 1 and arc drilling in the sand. They have no oil yet and the proba bilities are she will be a duster. Fisher & Co. are ready to rig up at their No. 1 Schuller. The depression in the market has effectually stopped all operation here, and it is not probable that any new work will be started at the present price of oil. Butleh "Wesley AVebber & Co. will try their hand at wildcatting in Butler county. They have a rig readv for the dr.ill at Glade Mills, located on a 45 line between Saxon burg and Bakerstown. H. McCLIKTOCK. A DESFEBADO MEETS HIS FATE. He Takes the Town in Trontier Fashion, But Meets His Match. Navajo Srinxcs, Akiz., Dec. 6. A shooting affray occurred this afternoon re sulting in the probable death of Bud Blake, an cx-cowboy and one of the most feared desneradoes in this section. Blake rode into town this afternoon and, after filling up with tangle-foot, proceeded to shoot up the town. After terrorizing the citizens he rode across the country in the direction of St. Johns, about two miles from here. He encountered two telegraph operators, K. L. Alexander and L. L. Cotton, returning from an antelope hunt. He called upon them to throw up their hands, and received au immediate response in the shape oi a volley from a "Winchester in the bands of Mr. Alexander, and Mr. Cotton's six-shooter. Blake returned the fire. Blake fell from his horse mortally wounded. Alexander, whose shot took effect, gave himself up to the constable. AN INDIAK JIUEDEREB KILLED. He Resisted Arrest and IVas Shot Dead by a Deputy Sheriff. Spokane Falls, Wash., Dec 6. A telegram from Okanogan county announces the killing of the Indian murderer of Fred erick Cole by Deputy Sheriff Ives, after a hot fusillade, in which a squaw was also wounded. Cole disappeared about six weeks ago, leaving his team where he had encamped for the night, and although blood stains were found about the wagon, the body was never discovered. Suspicion fell upon an Indian lurking in the neighborhood, who disappeared imme diately after the crime was committed. Ives located him near the month of Methow river. When he attempted to arrest him the Indian opened fire. Ives returned the fire and killed the Indian. A COLLISION BETWEEN STEAMSHIPS. It Arises From Conflicting Opinions of the Kiglit Way. New York, Dec. 7.

Professor Koch, the great Gorman physician who discovered the microbes which cause cholera, claims to have discovered a way of curing consumption, by vaccination. As more than half of all the deaths which occur every year are caused by consumption. If Dr. Koch's claim is trne, it is the greatest discovery of the nineteenth century. But there seems to be some doubt as to whether it can be made prac ticable in all case?, while in every case it is certain to be a very expensive enre and one that can only be indulged in by the very wealth iest. In the course of hi remarks upon the subject, however. Professor Koch makes a most won derful statement, which is as follows: "Alcohol is a, food in consumption." He does not sav that it is a temporary aid, bnt an absolute ood, sustaining tho life, building up the strength, and restoring the health. This is a most impor tant statement aud proves beyond question the great value ot alcohol in the treatment ot dis ease. It should be remembered, however, that alcohol is never taken in its natural form and that whiskey is tie finest manner in wnich al cohol is ever combined. Eventhen.it must bo pure beyond question, or it injures instead of aids. It is the possession of this quality of uritya.nd its medicinal power wbichas made inffy's Pure Mult Whiskey so immeasurably superior to any otlier known whiskey in the world. It has saved the lives of many men and women who were on the downward road to consumption, and it will check the first stages of consumption ar prevent pneumonia in every case. Great care, should be exercised to secure only the genuine, and no dealer, however un scrupulous, should be allowed to substitute in ferior and perhaps injurious whiskey. m PIANOS.
