Stimulation of the laymen's inferoat in the church was discussed Wednesday morning by the Rev. George.

The discussion of the new styles was brought into the conference following a paper on the I finances of the church. The Rev. W. I H.

Scenes Around Bridgeport, III.

Although Bridgeport's city adminlstiation is in democratic custody, there's no politics in the conduct of affairs. Dr. John F. Shrader, who was born in Lawrence cqunty, is the mayor. He has been a practicing physician herb for a great many years, but since he was elected to the office he now so successfully fills the doctor has been giving a great deal of his time to municipal affairs. During his administration sanitary sewers have been built, streets have been paved and other progressive movements have been inaugurated. The tax rate of Bridgeport is $1.20 per $100, which the natives do not consider high in view ot the improvements that have been made.

The oil belt railroad from Oblong to Bridgeport is one of the enterprises that grew out of the oil boom. A new

experiment with unknown or cheap paint it's too costly. Get Mastic Paint right at the start and you arG absolutely assured of best results and lasting satisfaction.

The various billiard halls around town get a heavy play in soft drinks and cigars, however. The results of baseball games as they come over the wires are placed on blackboards for the benefit of the fans.

Mike Murphy, on whose property a new gusher was turned loose only a week or so ago, is seventy years old and a farmer who struck oil while others found only a discouraging sequence of dry holes all around him. The biggest Murphy well is located about eleven miles southeast of hero, ten miles northeast of the Allendale pool in Wabash county, and makes an extension of the rich Dennison township field to the southeast and in the direction of the Wabash river and into Indiana.

It is said that Murphy had leased his property, which consists of 102 .icres, to prospectors so often without result that he grew weary of signing up. The property was tied up for the first time about ten years ago. Finally the Ohio Oil Co., after striking a lot of bloomers on adjacent property, struck a bargain with

Murphy.

They selected the

northeast corner of the property and plugged the hole at 1,640 feet. The gusher that was later struck is at the southwest corner of the property and the drill went into oil at 1,835 feet.

A few months ago Murphy gave a seven months' lease on some of his property to Messrs. Lloyd and Guthrla at a rental of $125 per month. Lloyd and Guthrie In turned assigned a half interest In their lease to L. R. Henley and D. C. Boggs with the understanding that they put down the well. They operated dlscouragingly for awhile. Finally Boggs sold his fourth interest to R. G. Rogers, manager of the National Supply Co., Lawrenceville. On April 6th the drill struck pay dirt. A delwge of oil for which the boys were unprepared followed. The production started off at 130 barrels an hour. It is now going through six lines of two inch pipe to the tanks at the rate of fifty barrels an hour.

Lightning struck a tank on the Murphy farm here recently and the contents of seven 250-barrel and one S00barrel tanks were destroyed. These fires caused by lightning- are sometimes very expensive. As much as $75,000 was lost In one of these visitations of providence. About three years ago a fire on the Ohio property near Bridgeport lasted three weeks. People came for miles around to see the most spectacular of conflagrations.

LIVERY STABLE SUIT HINGES ON ONE POINT

Attorney Figures That William Griffith Has Chance to Build Livery by One Sentence.

Whether William Griffith, a local livery man, lyill be allowed to erect a livery barn across from the James Hojk school will depend upon the interpretation of a single sentence when the case is taJcen to court, it was learned Tuesday. Mr. Griffith stated Wednesday that he intended to take euch proceedings which would allow a test of the law. His attorney, B. V. Harsh? II, stated that the fight to allow Mr. Griffith to build the livery barn would center around the interpretation of the following sentence: and when said site is located, no livery stable, horse, mule or cattle tarn used for breeding purposes Fhall be built, erected or maintained within 500 feet of said site."

According to Mr. Marshall's interI retation, the phrase, "used for breeding purposes" includes a livery stable. He ceclares that Mr. Griffith intends to use his barn for livery only and that this law does not apply In the case.

The school authorities maintain that the words livery stable are separate and aie not applied to the phrase pertaining to breeding purposes. Attorneys in Terre Haute have shown much interest in the argument It is thought that this will be the first case of a suit under this law and the result will be closely watched by the lawyers.
