INDIANAPOLIS, April 155.—A week ago Thursday a bold attempt was made to rob the local postoliice by two accomplished criminals. Two men entered Postmaster Salmi's private office, carrying a tin box, which they said contained valuable papers and asked liim for a key, claiming they had lost their own. He did not let the keys get out of his hands, however, and the men went away. The next day one of the men tried to get the cashier at the post-office to cash a check for $50, which was refused.
It turns out that thes* were the same men who robbed the postofticc at Springlieid, Ills., about 10 days ago of about $10,000 in stamps and money. They tried the same game there and it worked. The post master gave them the keys and they got an impression of all of them on wax. The next day they went to tlie. posfoffice at noon, opened the post master's private door and secured the stamps and money from the safe. An inspector is on their track.

OIL CENTERS EXCITED.
riie Most Rapid Advances in Prices Made Since the I»iscovery of Petroleum.
FINDI AY, O., April 13.—The oil producers of this region, which is the most active part of the Ohio petroleum field, are in an excited state of mind over tlie rapid rise in prices. They predict that the Standard wrill soon be paying $1 for the stuff they condemned as worth only 10 cents a barrel a few years ago.
Tlie announcement was made at the office of the Buckeye pipe line yesterday morning that the prices for the day would be $1.07 and $1.05 for the two grades of Lima oil. From all that can be learned the producers in tlie Lima field have an abundance of oil in their tanks, but are declining to sell, evidently on the belief that the top notch has not yet been reached in prices.
While some of the oil producers regard the jump in prices with suspicion, of which possibly schemes of the Standard company are the basis, others believe that there is an actual oil famine in sight. The general belief is that while Ohio crude oil may not remain as high as $1, it will command a price sufficient to greatly enhance the value of the field, which is the second largest in the world. New -wells will be sunk in all directions in northwestern Ohio, unless the present prices proves to be caused artificially.
Fifty Cents a liarrel Advance.
CLEVELAND, April 13.—In keeping with the sharp advance in crude oil the Cleveland refiners yesterday marked up the price of refined oil. Ohio state test was advanced three-fourths of a cent per gallon, or 37 1-2 a barrel of 50 gallons. The advance in other grades was still more marked, a full cent being added to the selling price of water white, Ohio state test headlight oil and eocene. This means 50 cents a barrel on these oils.
Excitement at Lima,
LIMA, O., April 13.—There is great excitement here over the unprecedented jump in the price of Lima crude oil. The Standard company yesterday jumped to $1.07 for North Lima and 11.05 for South Lima oil. Indiana oil is quoted at 97 cents.

BUCYIIUS, O., April 13.—Oil men are leasing htrgf tracts of land in the northern part of this county for the purpose of prospecting, good indications for which exist. All leases are on the guarantee that drilling will commence in 60 days.

John Quigley Tells How the Five Insane Criminals Escaped. FISHKILL, N.
