CURRENT EVENTS.
The striking of a 8000-barrel oil well
in Butler county, last week, recalls the
days of Thorn Creek, and also those of
the Karns City Cross-belt—of which
this new field is the lost extension.
When the Karns City discovery was
made the supply of crude seemed un
limited, the price dropped from |4.00 to
40 cents a barrel, and some of Butler's
rich men, who were "bulling'' the
market at that time lost all they had.
Incidentally The First National Bank
of Butler, also, had its doors closed; and
John D. Rockefeller, who had obtained
control of the refining business, got the
start that has made him one of the
wealthiest men on earth.
The business of producing oil, like
any other, should be conducted on cor
rect principles, but at the same time the
striking of good wells is a mere matter
of luck. In this case the Devonian Co.
was drilling for the Speechly.the Fourth
• was known to be "as dry as powder"
within a stone's throw of their first
gusher, and had thay been drilling for
coal and struck diamonds they could
not have heen more surprised. The
company was organized some months
ago. and drilled a dozen dry holes be
fore meeting with any luck whatever.
These strikes, however, will make them
rich.
Our exchanges from counties to the
East of us are reporting large sales of
coal lands, at from £SO to #4O the acre,
for the coal alone. The building of new
railroads is bringing the coal into the
market, and men with money are buy
ing the coal for speculative purposes.
We know of some farmers in the south
ern part of this county, who have re
fused S6O and S7O an acre.
By the way, there is no present pros
pect that the operators and miners of
the anthracite region will arrive at an
understanding. The House of Repre
sentatives has passed an appropriation
of fiftv thousand dollars for defraying
the expenses of the commission and the
hearings are going on. It may be that
in the end some agreement can be had
which will be submitted to the investi
gators, but the time is not yet.
The discovery of cholera or some such
similar disease a,wong some herds of
swine in this neighborhood last
week caused quite a sensation.
The disease is said to have been caused
by feeding the pigs hotel swill or refuse
—a most abomniable practice that some
of our farmers have fallen into to.
The daily papers lately reported the
dissoveiy of the "foot and mouth" dis
ease among some of the herds of cattle
in eastern Massachusetts, and a report
of the same spreading to this state
caused the Governor of Illinois to quar
antine his state against cattle and sheep
from this state; a most ridicnlous order
as no cattle and sheep go West from
this state excepting for breeding pur
poses.
At this moment there are a number
of agents in England buying up fancy
cattle for breeding purposes in the
West, including Illinois. If that State
issues a quarantine against the whole
Atlantic coast, how are these cattle to
get to their destination 1 The fact that
the public lands are no longer available
in sufficient quantities for grazing has
led to the improvement of breeds raised
on farms whence the future supply
mnst come. The Illinois quarantine is
a blow at the West as well as the East.
It is such fool orders as this that make
trouble here land get us into more
trouble abroad, particularly in Ger
many, where every excuse is being
made to keep out American meats. The
letter of Governor Stone to Governor
Yates is a statesmanlike document that
ought to go a long ways toward repair
ing the wrong that has been done, but
it cannot do all.
The Republican press of the country,
as a whele, commented favorably on the
President's message. His idea of "let
ting the blessed sunshine in" to the do
ings of large corporations, doing an in
terstate business, strikes a respondant
chord in the nation, and some twenty
bills on the subject have been introduc
ed in the House and Senate. •
The judiciary committee of the house
is forcing action on the Littlefield bill,
the principal feature of which is public
ity. It provides that every organization
capitalized at over half a million dollars
and doing an interstate business shall
file sworn statements once a year with
the Inter-State Commerce Commission.
Accounts must be rendered of receipts,
expenditures, dividends and soon. Not
only this, but the capital stock must be
given and the amounts paid in upon
each share, an' 1 it is proposed to levy a
tax of one per cent upon outstanding
stock not fully paid in cash or in pro
perty. This requirement is aimed at
the water in corporations and is design
ed to stop speculation at the expense of
the innocent public.
In the Senate Senator Penrose's immi
gration bill was blocked by objections;
and Senator Quay is acting with the
Democrate on the statehood bill. The
Senate committee eliminated Arizona
and New Mexico from the bill and rec
ommended that Oklahoma and the In
dian Territory be joined together and
admitted as one state. The population
would be eight hundred thousand, but
one-half would be composed of Indians.
Nevertheless, it is proposed to allow
two additional representatives based up
on this Indiari collection which is ridic
ulous.
Both the German reichstag and the
French chamber of deputies have been
the scenes of turmoil lately, compared
with which the "spat" in our court
room, last Saturday, was a mere dog
fight; but when the anti-trust bills get
into the U. S. Senate the fight the attor
neys-in-fact of the great corporations
will put up against them will be worth
seeing. If President Roosevelt wants
to crown his administration with an ev
erlasting halo of glory let him, if he
can, bring about the election of Presi
dent and U. S. Senators by the popular
vote.
The holiday season is upon us and ev
erybody will be buying something pret
ty and will, perhaps, afterwards "kick''
on the bills. It is best to pay as you go
and buy nothing that you have not the
money to pay for. This rule applies to
both individuals and nations. If Ven
ezuela had adhered to it German and
British war vessels would not now be in
her harbors threatening to take posses
sion of her customs houses, uutil their
claims are satisfied.
WASHINGTON NOTES.
On Saturday last the House passed
the pensions appropriation bill calling
foi $139,000,000, without a word of de
bate.
Gen. Littlefield's sub-committee of the
judiciary committee of the house, which
has been charged with the consideration
of all proposeed anti-trust legislation,
held its first meeting that day. All bills
which may be introduced while the
question is before the committee will be
referred to this sub-committee as well as
all pending bills.
Senator Beveridge called upon Pres
ident Roosevelt and urged upon him to
veto the omnibus statehood bill when it
came before him. Senator Beveridge
was chairman of the sub-committee of
the committee on territories that made
a flying tour through these territories
recently and as a result reported to the
senate a substitute bill providing for
the admission of Oklahoma and Indian
territory as one state.
"Senator Quay's reported threat to
block all legislation in the Senate until
his fight for the admission of New Mex
ico to statehood is won does not cause
the commotion at that end of the capi
tol which might be expected. If he per
sists in his reputed intention and suc
ceeds in obstructing the business of Con
gress he will be doing just what a large
section of the Senate would wish him to
do. It is fairly well recognized that
there is an influential element among
the Senators who are unutterably op
posed to the President's policies in re
gard to reciprocity and trust regulation.
They are tne "stand-patters." If Sena
tor Quay manages to prevent action up
on these matters by his efforts to hold
up legislation until New Mexico is ad
mitted he will be playing exactly into
their hands, saving them trouble and
the risk of openly obstructing the policy
of the administration." —Ex.
CHILD insurance is a temptation.
Some years ago a Philadeiphia woman
was found guilty of murder in the first
degree and suffered the extreme penally
of the law. She had been convicted of
poisoning three of her children for the
purpose of collecting the insurance on
their lives. Now another unfortunate
woman in Massachusetts is under ar
rest charged with the commission of
the same offense. Three of her child
ren have died under what looks like
suspicious circumstances. Their lives
had been insured in each case and the
police think that they were put to death
for the sake of the amount of the poli
cies which were thus rendered payable.
POLITICAL.
Quay and Penrose have agreed upon
Harry Walton, of Philadelphia, for
speaker of the house.
The appointments to bo made by Gov
elect Pennypacker are those of secretary
of the commonwealth, attorney-general,
banking commissioner, secretary of
agriculture, superintendent of public
grounds and buildings, superintendent
of public instruction, adjutant general
of the national guard, and others of
jasser importance. Insurance Commis
sioner Durham is to succeed himself. It
is believed that William W. Griest of
Lancaster county will be reappointed
secretary of the commonwealth, but
this has not yet been authoritatively an
nounced. The conference in Washing
ton last Thursday night developed the
fact that Attorney General John P. El
kin was not a candidate to succeed him
self and he will not be reappointed.
The official directory of Pennsylvania
legislature for 1903 divides the two
branches as follows: Senate—Republi
cans, 40; Democrats, 10. House—Re
publicans, 159; Democrats, 45. Total—
Republicans, 190; Democrats, 55. Ke

ACCIDIS NTS.
Dick Krause, son of Robert Krause,
of Marwood station, attempted to jump
on a freight train last Saturday after
noon, missed his hold and fell under the
train. He had one leg crushed just
above the ankle and was brought to the
hospital, where his foot was amputated.
, Jos. Moofe, of Penn township, was
thrown from his buggy on Center ave
nue, Saturday evening, and badly hurt.
Walter Doss fell through a culvert at
Callery, last week, and broke his ankle.
He is in the hospital.
B F. Frantz had his face cut at a well
in Concord township, a few days ago,
while adjusting a piece of gas pipe.
Miss Rose Cowan, a resident of North
Buffalo township, Armstrong county,
was struck and instantly killed by a
train at Manorville last Thursday morn
ing.
Fourteen men were burned to death
in a fire trap Chicago hotel, last Thurs
day night.
The house of Frank Brannan of Clear
field township was wrecked by a gas
explosion, Monday afternoon. Frank
had been changing the gas fixtures in
the second story of the house; gas had
escaped and had filled the room he was
working in, when he stepped on a
match and the explosion followed. He
was thrown some distance and badly
bruised, but his wife and children in
the lower story, escaped unhurt.
John Ray had his leg hurt by a crane
at the Car Works, Monday; and John
Passan was hurt by the fall of a pile of
steel.
AN Old Incident Recalled.
A bit of local history has been brought
to light by the filing of an assumpsit
suit of John Young against Robert W.
Hervey of Pittsburg for $22,129, which
amount Harvey was to pay for Young's
farm. Harvey backed out of the bar
gain because, "he said, Young could not
give him a good title to his farm, being
unable to trace it back further than
1867, when it was allotted to David Bor
lond as a part of the estate of his father,
William Borland. This history was
brought to light in tracing the title be
yond William Borland.
In the early part of the last century
the Young farm and several hundred
acres surrounding was the property of
James Scott, who lived with his wife
on the place. A openly antagonistic
feeling existed at that time between the
Protestants and Catholics, particularly
among those of Scotch and Irish ex
traction. Scott was a Protestant and
when drinking, was very abusive of the
Catholic religion and its adherents.
One day after a visit to Butler during
which he had been unusually offensive
and had quarreled with some of the
Catholic following. Scott's body was
found floating in the Connoquenessing
creek near what is now the Center
avenue bridge. His body wa» bruised
but the caune of his death was never
explained. This happened about 1830.
Scott's widow remained on his land,
making her home with William Bor
land and his family and on her <l«ath
leaving the land to him.
The aversion of the Catholics and
Protestants of that day for each other
is i n strong contrast with the mutual and
peaceable forelxiaruuce and intercourse
of the present day.
Franklin twp. No. 1.
The following i» a report of the third
month at the Ridge School No. 1,
Franklin twp.
Number of pupils enrolled 49, average
attendance for the month 38, per cent
of attendance for the month 78.
We have had a number of visitors
during the three months school has
been in session and would be pleased to
see more of the patrons coming to visit
us. Liu A LCXJAN, Teacher.
The Starr Gushers.
Two or three years ago the Butler
Gas Co. leased the A 1 and Plum Starr
and a dozen other farms in Concord and
and Fairview for gas and oil, in order
to keep up their supply of gas.
The Speechly excitement came and
they sold some of their leases including
the A 1 and Plum Starr at what seemed
good figures but which since the strik
ing of the fourth sand gushers, look
like 2 cents.
The Devonion Oil Co's. No. 5, on the
A 1 Starr was drilled in early liist week
and started at 75 barrels an hour, but
had declined to 12 barrels an hour until
about 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon,
when it was drilled for a few minutes
and the production increased to 150
barrels an hour. Next morning the
gauge was 12.5 barrels an hour, or at the
rate of 3,000 barrels a day. For the
first 24 hours after drilling it was
thought the well's production would ex
ceed 3,500 barrels This well was pre
viously reported as No. 4 on this farm,
which was an error, No. 4 not having
been started.
Its equal has not been found in any
part of the lower southwest since the
opening of the Sand Fork pool in Lewis
county, W. Va., two years ago. There
is another remarkable thing about this
fourth sand extension. When the old
Modoc, Greece City and Karns City
cross belt was developed, more than 30
years ago, developments were carri'd
to the west, within sight of the Starr
farm, on which the gusher is located,
but dry holes were encountered and it
was thought that the end had n
reached. Even at this late day its dis
covery came in the nature of an ac
cident. The Devonion Oil Company se
cured a block of leases, including the
Starr farm, and started to drill for
Speechley Sand producers. When the
first weU on the Starr farm was drilled
into the fourth sand last September, it
began to flow at the rate of 25 barrels
an hour, and is still placing 200 barrels
a day to its credit. Other companies
and individuals started tc drill in the
immediate vicinity and none but the
Devonion Company found oil in paying
quantities in the fourth sand. This
company's test on the Thompson start
ed at 100 barrels a day and is more than
a month old. There is no longer a
chance for an extension to the north,
south or east, but the west is still un
defined.

MARSH ROOT
No better combination, as we prepare
it, could be formulated to act more spe
cifically upon the Kidneys and
than Marsh Root. As a Liver Invigor
ator Marsh Root is now a conceded fact,
and where the Liver is torpid and slug
gish Constipation manifest, the body
t red, the eyes blurred, and weakened,
1 ' e complexion poor, a sensation of dull
headaches, and languor prevailing,
Marsh Root will overcome them.
As to the Efficacy of Marsh Root, and
its fight against Kidney Diseases, you
c.m be your own judge if you are an af
flicted, and if it fails to relieve or cure
you. take the bottle back to your Drug
gist and he will {rive you your
money ;back. Marsh Root stands for
the cure of Inflammation or Catarrh of
the Bladder, Blocked Kidneys, Scalding
Urine, Rheumatic Gout, Gravel, Uric
Acid, etc. The organs that require the,
most careful attention ' -nd are the most
often neglected, and the human filters
or strainers—the Kidneys, and therefor
doubly require your attention.
Do not delay when the Kidney machinery
needs repair. lio not allow a break down t<)
go when it is too lato —*'A stitch In
time saves nine." In 90 cases out of every
100, a l>ottlo of Marsh Hoot for a small outlay
will relieve you of your trouble and worry.
