BESETS v-J r 8 AMONG THE OIL MEN. What HasMsst Interested Them Dar ing the Past Week. UNT THE BILLIKGSLEI BILL. Prodncers Insist That It Is the Yery Measure Seeded Ej T&em. lATEST REPOETS FROM THE FIELDS. The past week has been one of "crest in terest both in the general and field situation, bere hat been no time since the memorable Shutdown movement when the trade was subject to and undergoing so many import ant changes. The most important matter now claiming the attention of the trade is the Billingsley bill. The producers in general are clamoring for its passage and are sanguine that the measure will become a law. The meeting at 'Warren on "Wednesday of the delegates of all the local assemblies U aho regarded as one of the greatest pro ducers movements inaugurated in the his tory of the great industry. In conversation with Hon. J. W. Lee, who is one of the old Executive Board, he informed The Dis patch scout that he expected from GO to SO delegates present who wonld represent the world of Oildom from "Wellsville, If. T., to "Washington, Pa. The ei-Senatqr was not committal as to any policy that they in tended to adopt, but said the general situa tion wonld be discussed to the satisfaction of all present. There are some changes to be noted in the 'field situation. One important event was the Kanawha Oil Company's dry hole on the Linton farm, in the McCurdy pool. The well was located for a producer, on the best theory, and there were a number of practical operators who were willing to have gambled that the venture wonld not have been dry. This well, coming as it did, is another proof of the uncertainty and treacherous character of the fifth sand formation. In this pool there are two more wells due to-day or to-morrow, one on the Tidball and the other on the Palmer. Their advent is being watched with xnnch interest, and in a measure will decide the future of the .McCurdy Seld, which was civen great promise by the phenomenal Patterson well, struck on the McCurdy farm some time aco. At Wild wood :tbe Bowman gasser and Kennedy wells coming in as they have, apparently makes the north line of the field look better, but these wells, however, have invariably been overesti mated. Somebody "Will Be Fooled at Calleiy. Callebt Operations on the town lots are still going forward with much vim. and when the smoke of the battle is over, so to speak, some will learn with sorrow "all that glltMrs is not gold." The latest acquisition to this new pool is the B. Forest Oil Company's No. 1. on the Staple property. The drill reached a depth of 30 feet in the centennial sand Saturday moraine and responded at the rate of IS bar rels an hour. It is the opinion of the most ex pert operators there that, when drilled deeper, the well will make a much larger production. The Bailey well, some 30 or 40 yards to tho east of ihe above, is flowing only by heads. Since the Geobnng has been shot, the explo sion seems to have forced the water over to the Barton well, which is something very peculiar in this territory. Ihe B. Forest Oil Company have made two or three more locations on the Staples. They also have a well on top the 100 foot on the Marburcer, and are getting ready to build two more rigs on this farm. On the William Cashdollar, W. J. McKee is in the first pay with No. 7, and the indications are good for a fair producer. Mr. McKee has another rig up near his No 7, and will start drilling in a short time. Messrs. Geohring fc Shaffer on the Vanroy lot will start a new well in a day or so. Geohring fc Co. treated their well on the Lon Erwin lot to a liberal dose of high explosive and unfortunately col lapsed IS or 20 joints of casing. The same party have a well in the sand on the Vance lot, but at this writing it was not deep enough to deter mine its caliber. Guctert fc Co. are driving ahead on the Davidson farm, and have made two more locations: their No. 2 Davidson is making about 23 barrels in 24 hours. BoyerA Co. on the McNeal lot are pounding away at 650 feet, while Collins & Co. have lumber on the gronnd for a rig on the Kauffman and have stuck stakes for two more rigs on the same property. Patterson and Co. on the Samnel Kauffman are building a No. 2 rig,and Murphy & Co. on the same property have reached a depth of 600 feet in No. L Webber & Co., on the Wallace lot, are down TOO feet, and Kayler & Co. have shot their Dun bar lot ell, which is showing np in good shape; the same parties have another rig in conrse of construction on the T. Cashdollar. The Irwin Oil Company, some two miles east from the Junction, have a well 63 or 70 feet in the sand with a showing of oil. The bhowalters Bros, have disposed of their one-sixth interest in the Marburcer. Staples. Dr. Irwin and Cashdollar farms, with twci wells drilling and sev n pro ducing, to Gantz and Robert Ash for $7,500. "Wildwood Doing 'Well. Wildwood Forst, Greenelee 4 Co.'s No. 1, on the six-acre lot, was making CO barrels an hour Saturday morning, but on deeper drilling increased the output, and was reported in the evening as doing between 120 and 130 barrels an hour. Their No. 2, on the same lot, was drilled with no change of consequence in the produc tion. Barnsdall fc Co., No. 7. Kress, was also drilled deeper baturday forenoon and it in. creased to ISO barrels an hour. 3 heir No. 4, same farm, is beinc connected to the tank, and expects to reach the sand soon. Ihe Kennedy & Co. well, on the Pittsburg and Western, was drilled for about three-fourths of an honr baturday forenoon, and the output increased Irom 44 to about 10 inches an hour. An hour gauge of tho Bowman fc Co. well, on the White fiell, Saturday morning, showed it to be making li inches. They were getting ready to start the drill again. The Runga was making 13 inches an hour, and the Rnlsbouse No. 4, 15 inches. No. 5, same farm, 17 inches an hour. There was no particular change in the other wells. Griffith and Forest Oil Company No. 3, Herr, which came in Friday night at 45 barrels an hour Is still maintaining a very nice produc tion. Miller ana Griffith's Hill farm well is said to be no good in the 30-foot. Since the good showing made by the Bowman gasser a new interest has been infused into this section of the field. Property has rapidly advanced and territory Is eagerly sought for. S. W. Har ley & Co. have sold their Whitesell property, comprising 33 acres, and one dry hole to Water hoHse fc Hooks, of Fredonia, . Y., for the snug sum of 16,000. Only three weeks ago this property could not find a taker at $3,000. If the Bowman and Kennedy wells still continue to hold their grip it would not seem that the price paia for the property is an exorbitant one. The production of the field Saturday was 13,700 barrels. Fashing Ahead at Bakerstown. BAKriiSTOtvx-ioe Millison fc Co.'s well, re cently completed, on the Jack farm, is making 60 barrels a day. The next well due here is located on the Mrs. George Hays farm. The "Wesley Monks well is spudding: The Chartiers Oil Company will start the drill Monday morn ing on the Robert Jack farm, and have another rig building. The JFisher Oil Company, on the John Jack farm, have a rig in course of con struction, while Ireland & Hughes are ready to bounce the drill on the Martin Monks. Joe Millison & Co. completed a rig Saturday on the William Jack farm, and will start the drill at an early date. Millison & Dickson, on the Mahan farm, have pnt on the last string of casing, while their Patton farm well received its last string of casing on Thursday. On Fri day they bad the misfortune to burn the boiler, but have things in working order again. The Batchers' OH Company will bring In their No. 4. on the Richards farm, the first of the week, and their Kinmhan well is cased. The well on the Rickenbrode farm is drilling in the salt Baud, while the well on the Reed farm is in the hundred-foot. May Be a Good Prodncer. Peteesville East of Petersvllle a half mile Hartman, Hovis & Co. have got their well tubed, on the H. K, Dambach farm. The well ' has a large amount of salt water, which Is gradually being exhausted, and the chances aj that with persistent pumping it will make a pood producer. Sold Twelve "Wells.

CKAFTOif The last oil well completed by the Forest Oil Company ou the Pnoruian farm is now doing five barrels a day. The same com pany's No. 8 Fbelps, which has been fishing for two years, has finally got the hole cleared and will be drilled in this week. Near Oakoale the Forest has started one 'r-'SWwwTrsiB i" ssracyw r" well on the Wright farm, which is two miles southwest and in advance of the McCurdy well. In the same locality they are drilling one on the Ewing farm, which is now In the Big Injun with the bole full of salt water; this will necessitate a reaming down Job of about six weeks. Drilling at McDonald. McDonald The McDonald No. 2 is being made ready to start the drill again. J t Is making a little oil, thought to be from the Gordon sand.

Rr VN4VV V--, THE HILL DEMOCRATS MAD Over the Acceptance of the Senator ship bj the Governor, LEFT WITHOUT A CANDIDATE To Pat TJp in the Fresidental Eace Against Cleveland. FIGUBING ON THE LATTER'S DEFEAT tFEOKJl STAFF COBBESPOraUTT.I NEW Yobk, Jan. 25. There were a good many people in this State taken by surprise by the acceptance of the Senatorship by David B. Hill. And they haven't recovered from it yet One Darticular class of Demo crats, the anti-Cleveland crowd, are fairly gnashing their teeth for rage. Their prin cipal reliance had given way and dropped them in the mud. This, too, at a time when the position assumed by their pet candidate for the Presidental race had fully justified their belief that he would never accept the Senatorship no: never, never, neverl Their disappointment knows no bounds. Not that they love Hill so awfully bad, you know, but because it .leaves them for the time being with no candidate of national repute and Democratic fame to oppose against the pretensions of one Grover Cleve land. All of their preliminary work was swept away in a breath and by a breath. It stands as if it had never been done. The oaths that were dropped around the Hoff man House and other political headquar ters wonld, could they be materialized, have built a wall around the city. This was im mediately after the reception of the news of the situation at Albany. Hill's Acceptance Retires Him. The subsequent attempt to show that Hill's acceptance of the Senatorship did cot mean a retirement from the Presidental race, necessarily, was a second thought and not very satisfactory to the thinkers. There are a good many people who ought to know better, who believe that a United States Senator in some way becomes ineligible for Fresidental timber. Of course, it does not convince these people if a number of cases are cited wherein Senators have been nomi nated and have achieved the Presidency. The general feeling here is that Mr. Hill's acceptance of the Senatorial plum effectively retires him from the Fresidental field. On general principles, perhaps, they are cor rect. The people of the United States who regard office as merely the spoils of the poli ticians, will naturally conclude that Mr. Hill has received the Senatorship of the State of New York as his shaje of the spoils and that he is satisfied with it. Tbey will not be inclined to force upon him any further or greater reward. Cleveland People Are Hppy. It need scarcely be said that the political friends ot Mr. Cleveland are overjoyed at the present situation. It is what they have been laboring and hoping for ''for months. "While many of them believed from the be ginning that Governor Hill would accerjt the Senatorship, and be glad to get it, there were a considerable number who betrayed some anxiety in the matter. The Cleveland men, without exception, go about the streets of New York now wearing smiling faces. They think they see in this decided turn of the cards a clear track ahead for them and their favorite candidate. If anybody is inclined to express a doubt, it is immediately inquired where is the man who can be named in the same breath with Grover Cleveland as a Democratic possibility? And, in fact, it will really puzzle any one to answer that question satisfactorily. The fight within the ranks of the Democratic party has been so sharp and incessant, as between Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Hill, that all other possi bilities seem to have slipped from the pub lic mind. It was accepted as a foregone conclusion that either Hill or Cleveland would receive a majority of the votes of the next National Democratic Convention. On this presumption a pretty close canvass of every State in the Union Las been made. A Disappointment to Dana, From time to time the New York papers have been filled with evidences of the popu larity of one or the other of these candidates and the unpopularity of his opponent It was indeed a cruel blow to Charles A. Dana when David B. Hill accepted the Senator ship. It fairly took the editorial breath away. Those who are not in svmpathy with the Dana movement are laughing from one end of the town to the other at the result It may be said without injustice to the venera ble editor that tbeTresidental candidacy of Hill was advocated as much for the purpose oi downing ex-President Cleveland as from the fact that he was an able leader of his party. "Who now will be found whose name can be put up, who will concen trate the opposition to tbe ex-President? That is tbe live question of the hour. It is a question Dana has, so far, been unable to answer to his own satisfaction. Nor has it been suggested in any quarter, except in the expression of a lingering hope that Hill in the Senate of the United States was not necessarily ineligible as a Fresi dental candidate. It would be funny, in view of all that has happened within tbe lst two months, if political matters should so shape themselves that the name of Grover Cleveland would not be beard of when the convention meets. From all the indications at Washington there is a single probability that this will be the fact Possibility of Cleveland's Defeat. The probable pendancy of the silver ques tion in the next Congress will leave an issue to be fought over, on which Mr. Cleveland's record is such that he can scarcely hope to receive the nomination at the hands of his party. Tbe friends of Mr. Cleveland might as well take this into consideration now. If they do, they will not be suddenly disap pointed as are now the backers of David B. Hill. The mugwump organs of New York, that most warmly support Mr. Cleveland, are daily indulging in the most bitter de nunciations of what they style the silver cr-izc The silver issue promises to be fought over from now on to the next Fresidental nominating conventions. There is but a single chance for it to be withdrawn from public consideration, and that is tbe chance that it may be settled by the enactment ot a free coinage law during tbe present session of Congress. This chance is a remote one. There is a probability, in view of the cir cumstances, that there will be a radical re adjustment of party lines before the next election. It would net be easy to predict with any degree of 'certainty what the probable result of tBis readjustment will be. Chaeles T. Mtjeeay.

KAUFM ANNS' NOVEL IDEA OF (JIVING MERCHAN DISE GRATIS TO THEIR PATRONS THIS WEEK: We have concluded to supplement our Great Inventory Sale Reductions with a most liberal and enterprising offer. Here are the particulars : Every time your watch goes five minutes, some purchaser will get his (her) goods free of charge this week, and, in order to insure a perfectly fair and impartial distri bution, we have adopted the following system: I. The hours of distribution will be from 9 o'clock in the morning until 6 o'clock in the evening each day, and until 10 o'clock on Saturday. 2. The first purchase will be given away at 9:05 o'clock; the second at 9:10; the third at 9:15; the fourth at 9:20; the fifth at 9:25, etc.,' etc ; one at the completion of every five minutes until closing time. 3. Thus, twelve people will receive their purchases free every hour, or 108 people every day, excepting on Saturday, when 156 people will get their goods for nothing. 4. Every department, and all kinds of goods we keep, are included in this free distribution, and the finest Man's Suit or Lady's Wrap will be given away as readily and cheer fully as a ten-cent collar. 5. The money first received by the Cashier, after the completion of every five minutes, will be handed back to the patron who paid it, no matter whether the amount be fifty cents or fifty dollars. 6. The actions of Mr. Baum, the Cashier, are "open and above board," he being constantly in full view of the peo ple standing without the Cashiers office. 7. On each day we shall publish the names and resi dences of the people who received their goods gratis on the preceding day. 8. Employes of the house, also wholesale buyers, cannot participate in this free distribution of merchandise. QTT?OT A T course, the big reductions we have uJL Hiljxil.Jjt made on the prices of allgoods.on the occasion of our Great Annual Inventory Sale, will remain throughout this week. Thus, while not EVERY patron will get his (her) purchase for nothing, EVERY PATRON WILL get a 'matchless bargain and effect a big saving of money.
