SUNDAY'S DISPATCH.
TTildcattlnc on the Increase in Adjoining
Counties.
5)BYL0PMEHTS IN WST TIE6IKIA
The condition of the oil business in Alle
gheny county, at least, hat changed within
the lilt three or four dart Since early latt
.all it has been remarkably quiet, and dur
xne the present year it ii safe to lay that it
has scarcely been better then during the
year of the shutdown.
The men who deal in oil well supplies,
boilers, engines, cordage and drilling tools,
in faet every one who is in any way con
nected with the business has reason to com
plain of the stagnation., The producers feel
it as much as any one, indeed more
ao, and, although they were the
first to complain, they are the first to
relieve the quietude which exists through
the oil regions. "Within the next SO days it
is almost certain that active operations will
be resumed all over Allegheny county.
There are yet thousands of acres which have
not been tested, and at almost any point the
fearless wildcatter is liable to strike a rich
pool.
Wonderful "Wildwood Fast.
"Wildwood has been the wonder and ad
miration of all the old operators. But few
of them expect to find again within the
borders of the county another such reservoir
of petroleum. An operator said yesterday
that he had been all oer the field and
was surprised at the number of
new rigs which were going up.
Those tin the Wildwood district are not
looked upon as liable to startle the trade
for the reason that they are all located on
well-defined territory, 'and it is known just
what they will do. The next wells of any
consequence that are looked for are in the
Moon district, down the Ohio. Operations
have again commenced with renewed vigor
in that locality, and there is plenty of ter
ritory that has yet to be explored. The Mo
Curdy field is also attracting some attention,
and the chances are that it will be per
forated with a few scores of new
holes before the Fourth of Juh. Out
side of Allegheny county little Lawrence is
receiving the biggest share of the attention
of the operators. The test wells which are
being drilled at Pulaski, above New Castle,
and those in the neighborhood of Bock
Point by T. W. Phillips -will determine the
existence of a pool of any dimensions in
That region.
A Through Belt Outlined.
By taking a map of Pennsylvania and
West Virginia regions it will be seen that
tbr belt runs direct through the lower edge
of Lawrence and the northwest corner of
Butler counties. These localities have
never been drilled over. They are barren as
yet. The existence of oil is not known
anr more than it was at Wildwood
before W. E. Griffith put down his first test
well. Only the drill will develop the fluid,
and geographical prophesies and divining
reds have never questioned the verdict of
the bit Nearly all the Pittsburg operators
have men out now gathering tip leases in
the localities mentioned, and by the time
the first test well goes down it is probable
that not an acre will be left nnleased.
Wildcat wells are now going down in
Beaver county miles away from any pre
vious developments. They are being worked
quietly, and the owners are in position to
gobble all the territory possible in the vi
cinity if they should make a showing of
oil. An operator said yesterday, in speak
ing of the Moon field: "The only difficulty
down there is that the farmers want too
much. They ask for an eighth royalty and
a bonus of from $0 to 5100 an acre.' No
operator can afford to make such terms at
the present price of oil. We are willing to
give them a sixteenth royalty, but an eighth
is out of the question when yon do not ex
pect to get a well that will do over 20 or 25
barrels a day at the outside. That is the
only obstacle in the way of the operators in
the Moon field at present"
"Washington and Greene.
Following Allegheny county to the south
west are Washington and Greene counties
and West Virginia. Pointing to Prof.
Carll's latest map of the oil regions yester
day a producer said: "It is impossible to
look at the little pools which have been
found and which are located on this map
without thinking that there are more in the
region. There are thousands of acres in
Greene county unsounded, and it is onlv a
matter of a short time until that county will
be the scene of active wildcatting. It
stands to reason that if an operator can get
oil at less expense in this county
than he can in other places he
vill invest his money here. That
is the reason why there has been so little
work done in West Virginia In comparison
with Pennsylvania operations. The latter
region has received a boom during the last
SO days.
At Peansboro, Moore & Co. commenced
drilling a well on the McDoueall farm
last Thursday, and contracts hare been
made for 40 otber wells.
The Home Pools.
The home fields yesterday gave some en
couragement to the producer. Frost &
Greenlee's No. "3 on the Alston, at Wild
wood, was four bits in the sand Saturday
eight, and making 18 barrels an hour.
Their No. 1 Good was 13 feet in the sand
and had 300 feet of oil in the hole. Beers &
Co.'e No. 1 on the P. Kuhlber farm came in
at noon Saturday and started off at the rate
of 25 barrels an hour. The boiler was moved
back and the well will be drilled deeper to
day, when it is expected it will do from 79
to 100 barrels an hour.
The most important feature in the Moon
field is the well of Forst & Greenlee on
the Hamburger farm which is expected in
this week. It will open up a big lot of new
teriilorv if it should come in good. The
well of J.F. Moore &Co, on the Parker farm,
which was started last Thursday, will alto
inereise the value of considerable land if
good. It is three quarters of a mile from
the Dearest well. It is bounded on the
north by Coraopoliv, by the McCurdy farm
on the south; the Young firm on the east,
and the McFarland on the west
The much talked of Mcnke well at Moon
is doing from seven to ten barrels.

Fate of a Chinaman Who Acted as a Customs
Detective In Texas.
Washington, May. 10, The Treasury
Department recently received a letter from
James Marr, an inspector of Chinese in the
1 Paso, Tex., customs district, in whioh he
says that in October last he employed a Chi
nese lanndryman of Paso Del Norte,
Mex., as a detective. It was his
business to report to the Inspector th
arrivals at Paso Del Norte of Chinamen
whose intention it was to cross to the United
States. He seemed to do this faithfully the
agent says, and was of no little service
to him.
m The Inspector took: a vacation some
time ago. and on his retnrn the
last week' in February He says he
missed bis Chinaman, and 'there
upon began a search for him, which re
sulted some days ago in his finding that he
bad been foully mnrdered in his room at Paso
Del Norte. All the circumstances and such
evidence, the agentsays heconld find showed
conclusively that the assassination was
caused by tbe Chinese order of assassins
known as Highbinders, and the cause of the
assassination was undoubtedly because the
Chinaman acted for him.

THE AFIEK EFFECTS:
Where the Fearful Danger of Grip Lies and
How to Counteract It
Here is something which one of tbe most
prominent doctors in America recently said
about the grip:
"Have yon noticed that only those persons
who were aged and feeble ordebilitated died of
the GripT The Grip itself is not so serious or
dangerous, but it is tbe terribly weakened con
dition that it leaves one In and the fearful after
effects which it brings. The people who die do
not have vitality enough to recover; they
do not possess rigor enough to throw off the
after effects. Such people, In fact all people,
should hare help in some sensible way to
throw off tbe depressing, the debilitating, the
almost suicidal feelinirs which tbe Grip always
causes. Nothing will do this, nothing will help
'nature except some pure stimulant and there is
nothing in the way of stimulants equal to pure
whiskey "
No medicinal stimulant ever has produced
the results, ever has received the endorsements
or ever has been so popular as Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey. The reason Is exceedingly sim
ple. It Is because It bas cjently, healthily and
completely assisted Nature, toned it up,enabled
it to resist the outside Influences which tended
to disease and to assist toward the attractive
path which leads to health. Tbe alter effects of
the Grip are the worst feature of It. They must
be counteracted it strength and health are to
be regained. They can be overcome in but one
certain way and that Is by the use of the sen
sible, efficient and highly endorsed stimulant
above mentioned. There is nothing before tbe
public which can for a moment compare with
it ana me genuine snouia oe insisted upon.

Queer Circumstances of the Case.
Memphis, May 10. On Thursday last
Anna Clare Kenoye, the 9-year-old daugn-
ter oi Mrs. M. S. Kenoye, started to school,
bni to the ntter distraction of the mother
has not yet returned. There is a strange
story connected with tbe child's dis
appearance an old man's fancy for the lit
tle one, wbich prompted his leaving her a
fortuue at his death, and tbe sudden ele
vation of the mother from abject poverty
to affluence.
In 1888, Mrs. Kenoye met by accident on
a river steamer A. P. Kerrsucker, of Du
buque, la., who subsequently settled at
Greenville, Mass. sHe took a great fancy to
the bright-faced child, and begged
of tbe mother that she permit
him to adopt the daughter, but his
request was denied. He, however, made
tbe child sundry presents and saw her fre
quently. In April of last year Mr. Kerr
sucker died, leaving $25,000 of his fortune
to Anna Clara Kenoye, of Memphis, which,
in the event of her death, was to revert to
his two nephews, residents of Dubuque, la.
What connection, if any, the terms of the
will has with the disappearance of the girl,
is, of course, problematical, but there is little
doubt that she was Kidnaped by parties hav
ing an interest in her. For several days the
child has acted strangely, as if under a spell,
and as though hiding something from her
mother. The mother is of the opinion that
the child has been persuaded to leave her,
thinking she was to be in the
hands of friends. The case was at
once given to the polioe, and about
8 o'clock to-night the girl was found
on a flat-boat on the river here. The owners
of the boat refused to say who had left the
girl, but admitted she had been in their
charge since Thursday.

THE FAILURE
Of FalkBros.& Co., 676 Broadway, New York,
. WAS. A GOOD THING
For the Gentlemen of Pittsburg.
Falk Bros. & Co. were tbe largest importers of Men's Fins ljn
derwear, Hosiery and Handkerchiefs in this country, and, when they
failed, their large stock was thrown on the market, to be sold for tha
benefit of the creditors.
KAUFMANNS
As is a matter of record, secured a large portion of the Bankrupt
Stock at a ridiculously low figure, and last week commenced a
Genuine Half-Price Sale
Of the Godds Bought at Falk Bros. & Co.'s Failure.
Of course, the event was the means of attracting thousands of
buyers to fKaufmanns Spacious Furnishing Goods Department every
day last week. Some of the best things, however, are still left and
will undoubtedly be closed out during the next few days.
