taking both sides or Ibe eireet. Tbe fire
caught from a defective flue lo tbe Opera
House suluon, and traveled so rapidly Ibat
all ( Sorts to subdue tbe flames proved una
vailing. It awept everything from George
0' Presl's dry goods storu to Karnes' resi
dence, a distance of about three hundred
yards Tbe tearing down of tie Wallace
House saved the tetnulmog portion of town.

From tbe Tidiout Journal.
The cry of Svo dollar oil has ceased, and
tbe only cry now beard from tbo procuceis
Is "what can we get?" The attempt to
keep oil at a high figure liy merely resolv
Ing to do so has utterly failed. Tbe pro
duction exceeds tbe demand and oulai'le ot
Ibis ia the surplus slock ou band, which is
helping tu pus!) oil dowa.
During tbe Ute trouble, bowever. w
think the producers have learned ibis:
when the teudencv ol the oil market is
downwaid, let it go down! It will bring five
dolltr oil qu cker tliuo all lha resolutions
ever passed, and is tbe surest tr.eibnd of
making tbe pricn of oil rise. When oil
dropped below its usual price the cry was
Ibat tbe only hope ol better prices' was in
an immediate cessation ol drilling ami
pump na.PIl was tried. So Rreat was the
temptation offered of a bl$ price lor oil, ly
this cessation, that many of the producer',
thinking Ibeir pumping a little oil, or cum
mencing a saw well would amount to but
little, did not cease operations Tne result
was tbe eessajlon proved a failure, anil the
producers were left io a crippled condition.
It is now proposd, by a lew products, and
seconded by some ol tbe oil pipers, to try
this cessation again by resolutions. Tbls
would cap the climax of absurdity aod fool
iaboess aod the oil regions would be lefi in
a state ol bankruptcy.
Tbe "agency," and the "combination"
have nearly completed what tbe ceeestion
commenced. Neither have wrought the
desired results, Tbe spirit was good but It
failed In tbe working. Tbe price of oil is
still going down.
And we say the lower tbe belter.
W itb oil at one one dollar a barrel, those
wko would not shut down when others did,
who would keep their drills going when
Ibeir neighbor!" drills were idle, and wbn
did this iu the bopes ot having oil ou band
lo sell at a bigb figure, when their neigh
bora' stosk was abori, will be fbroed to abut
down. With one dollar oil, tbe production
would be effectually curtailed. Tbere
would be no more wile) catling. Those
wbo commence wells do it without the pros
pect of making a lortune io a few monies,
and producers will hesitate , long belore
starting wells with one dollar oil In the
market.
So we say let us have one dollar oil and
out longer deceive ourselves wltb Ihe false
hope that Ova dollar oil Is tba salvation if
ibe region. ; It is not, aud the sooner thai is
discovered, so aoen will tbe "good old
times'' rtourn.
