The Insurance Commissioner says that the act to vthich reference is made neither in its title nor context mentions brokers, although the act of 187C, supplementary to 'the act of 1873, and part of the system of Pennsyl vania insurance laws, carefully defines their powers and piovides penalties for their uumg Business wimout license uuiu uiu Insurance Commissioner. Mr. Forster continues: "Had the possi bility of .the construction given by the court to the act of 1887 been anticipated by the Commonwealth, the argument would have taken a different direction. The con clusions arrived at were equally unexpected by both sides. The distinguished lawyer wlio drew this act, the eminent counsel who devoted so much time and legal acumen to demonstrate its unconstitutionality audits interference with the sacred riehts of citi zens, the manufacturers who appeared be fore the committees of the Legislature to ttrge its repeal, because it prevented their obtaining the most desirable-and economical insurance upon their property without in curring the risk of being branded as crimi nals, must have all been equally astonished at the discovery that they were all laboring under an hallucination, &nd,that the statute which cave them so much concern was really harmless and only directed against insurance brokers." The expenses of the Insurance Depart ment last year were 511,734 76, while its fees amounted to 539,642 80, showing a gain to the.State of 527,908 04. A DAY OF DRY HOLES. SOME SMALL TVEIXS STECCK IN THE ALLEGHENY FIELDS. South American OH Territory A Daily Pro duction of 300 Barrels In Northern Pern Late Reports From Local Fields A Big Contract. The news from oil fields Saturday and yesterday was rather discouraging for cer tain districts. This was particularly the case in th Moon field, where two dry wells were reported. Both of these, how ever, were in the new territory and could not be classed much abo-ve test wells. Wildwood was not prolific Of new wells of any capacity. The reverse was the case. There are three wells in that territory which reached the sand late last week and failed to make much of a show. At McCurdy the' production is still kept pretty well up in the thousands. The field lias been given somewhat of a set back "by the failure of the Ivsrr .No. 2 to come to the iront, as was con fidently expected both by the owners and the operators in the pooh It has a showing of oil, but not enough to warrant any more drilling in the immediate vicinity. It is-supposed by some of the McCurdy pperators that it may have struck a small shallow pocket. The Fisher Oil Company's Ko. 2, on the "W. E. Kiddie, which started off at 70 barrels an hour is only a couple of hundred feet west of north from it; Mellon & Co.'s Kiddle If 6. 2, which is rated at 100 barrels, is 200 feet northeast: the Bear Creek Refining Com pany, and Bradley's Adams No. 2, good for 150 barrelBadav.s500 feet southeast, and the Parsonage lot 300 feet southwest. This leads to the general belief, -which has been demonstrated before, that the pool within a -v ery small radius is largely "spotted."' Tho Adams Farm Spouter. McCuedv The Bear Creek Refining Com pany and Bradley's No. 1 on the Adams farm, which came in Friday at 35 barrels an hour, was still putting out that amount at a late hour Saturday evening. Mellon & Co.'s Jane Riddle No. 1, which is located 400 feet northeast of GiUespio & Co.'s big well on the same farm, will be rigged up to-day. It is the farthest well in the north in that part of the field. Tho Fisher Oil Company's No. 2 on thcV.E. Riddle was doing SO barrels an hour Saturdav. Gillespie ACo.'S Jane Rid dle No. 4 has fallen otr to 400 barrels a day. Black & Gufiey's Ew ing farm well in the ex treme northeast is putting out from 20 to 23 barrels a day. There have been no runs from tho well on the Mink farm, and Satur day there were 125 barrels of qil in the tank. The tools have not yet been gotten out. The Harbison farm well, in the southwest, is at tracting a good deal of attention from lease holders in tho vicinity. Light "WTIdwood TVells. "Wildwocd The Roth Oil Company's well on tlu C. O. Smith farm, is two bits m the sand and showing no oil. Batnsdall & Gil lespie's No. 7, on the Zingenheim, is ten feet in the sand, and showing small.

Moo The Orion C;fl Company's Veil on the Gordon farm, a mile northeast of Mc Fadden, is reported dry. The Forest Oil Company's No. 2, on the Meek's farm, was also reported dry yesterday. The Kanawha Oil Company's No. 2, on the George Springer, 800 feet west of their No. L was reported dry, but a later report was to the effect that it was good for '15 or 20 barrels a day. The Orion Oil Company's No. 2, on the Beggs,is goodfora20or25-barrel pumper. The Bear Creek Refining Company and Bradley's No. 1, on the "William Springer, is due to-day. In the Gallery Field. Calltit The No. 1 of Phillips, Craig & Co, on the Martin farm, which has been pumping on an average 15 barrels a day for thelnst year, has started to flowing.

The re sults of the school elections throughout the State durinc the pajt week show that the 'Farmers' Alliance lias a substantial major ity in several counties, nas pluralities m others, and can dictate nominations in still others. , The result will be, if they continue to hang together, that the next Legislature will have many Alliance members, and quite a number who will owe their election to the support of that organization, and as a consequence there is a great deal of anxiety in the ranks of the two older parties as to .the ultimate result.

"I saw a lady with pinched features, blue lips, and a ruddy noso, as I came down in tho cars this morning," said one of tho lead ing doctors of AinciJca Tocentfy. "She was I unhappy, and really did not know the cause. J But Las a physician, 'though never having seenner ueiorw, itucw cahuhj ma suurceoi her trouble. What was it? She was suffering from malaria. This, you know, is now tho great disease, and it scorns to be on the in crease." "Is malaria dangerous, doctor?" "Yes, and no. It is the indirect cause of many, perhaps most diseases, and it always puts a person in a condition to Invite disease, although it is bad enough of itself." And what da you do for it?" "Ah! There is tho hardest part of the sub ject. Tho principal romedy ba9 been quinine, but it is not always advisable. One thing, however, is almost a necessity jn any case of malaria, and that is a pure stimulant, preferably whiskey. Where it is the right kin d it seems to kill all tho germs of malaria quicker than any other known thing." The remarks oi no uucior uie most valua ble, but he did not go on to state what is known to tho writer that both himself and most prominentphysicians prescribe Duffy's Pure Malt AVhiskey. Their reasons for this are many, the principal ones being that it is tho only medicinal whiskey in tho market and tho only one Which for years has stood tho most scrutinizing chemical tests. Of course cheaper and impure whiskies have been advocated and certain unscrupulous dealers try to sell them because they can make a larger profit upon them than they can upon a pure and expensive Whiskey like TriAFT'o "rnlf- hnt. nTnr nun whn flnsiraR henlt.h Duffy's Malt, but any one who desires health and to keep off malaria should 1 having Duffy's and take no other.
