ANOTHER DROP Rockefeller Sends Oil Down Three More Pegs. The bottom went out of the oil market again Saturday and the price of the Indiana product fell one, two and then three cents, where it stopped, to remain for the next few days. This morning the quotation board which has been I reading $1.20 per barrel or Indiana oil for the last few days, was 1 changed, and instead of a raise in , price as some of the oil operators had been expecting there came a drop of three cents and the quotations is now fl. 17. Three is now little doubt but that the oil will continue to decrease in price and may fall so slow that the operations in this state will be seriously interrupted, although a brighter outlook may follow the spring opening. It costs about sixty five cents a barrel to get oil from the ground, and at this rate it may readily be seen that

the product may still fall a number of cents before the ceases to be abig profit on petroleum. DEATH RESULTS Miss Iva Roebuck, Seventeen Years Old, Victim of Consumption.
