D. B. Cooper, Cashier of the Greenfield Banking ., accompanied M. W.-Ma-gann to Knightstown last night and saw the fine Doxey oil well there. He sajs it produced 250 barrels of fine oil iu 24 hours and he saw the oil. It is a great well and we want to see this field developed.

Another victory for H. B. Thayer's Spot Cash stoae this week. Mr. O. O. Harvey, of Buckcreek township, found he could buy wire of Spot Cash just $1.10 a hundred cheaper than the same wire costs in Indianapolis. This is only a 6 imple of the way money can be saved by trading at the pioneer low price store. Always come in and see us.

The Parisian CloakJHouse, 08 Ea. Washington street,, invites its friends to call and examine their goods while in Indianapolis attending the State fair. There are so many new things in wraps this year that they take this way of introducing them to their out of town tfrade. Their friends looking at the styles will be shown the same courtesy as buyers. While this is one of the largest cloak houses in the State, their prices are moderate. Prices and honest dealing make our business a success. For this we guarantee a saving of from $3 to $10 on every garment purchased of us. Anyone mentioning this paper will be

given 5 per cent, off of anything they may bay. This line comprises fur, plush and 3th capes and jackets, suits, wrappers, waists, lace and cheniltei curtains and draperies. Packages checked free.

THIS EMGHTSTOWN Oil, BOOM.

Major T. C. D»xe ,ot Andarson, Has a KicJi Oiler—The Tield to be Developed. The people of Knights town have believed for some time thit they had oil in

I shows that there is paying oil in this region which will be a bonanza for Hancock and Henry counties.

Major Doxey has been interested for the la?t three months in leasing land near Knightstown for oil, and says he is cou:J viuoed that this part of Indiana will pro(luce more and be*ten- oil than some other sections of the Stitu. The oil from the S well which is being worked shows by ana lysis that it is 07 per cent, pure, which is far beyond the average. Major Doxej is m-iking arrangements to have additioiial tauks erected and to put down wells on the land already leased. ivaigtitstovvn is excited, and it is the prevailing impression that this new developnient is the foundation of a boom such as Knights,own lias never experienced.

Major Doxey was in Indianapolis Tuesday for a few hours, and while there received a telegram announcing the result of the nine hours' pumping at the new oil well at Knightstovvu.' The result was 108 barrels. Major Doxey believes the oil is finer than that, found at Lima, O.

He thinks the new well is worth £•"50,000 as it stands. His venture is (juice a fortunate one, as his outlay only represents a few hundred dollars. He thinks in five years from now oil will be pumped in the vicinity of Indianapolis, and that Indiana will soon be^the greatest oil field in the world. There is no doubt in his mind that the big natural gas companies, in the event the supply of gis gives out., will use the Indiaua oil for manufactured gas.

Greenfield and Hancock county are in the field sure, and it will not be many years until there will be big fortunes made in oil i*ight here in old Hancock.

AN ERA OF FALSE HAIR.

It Is A]?t tp Come In With the New Style of Dressing My Ladj's Crowning Glory. A revolution is at hand. The implements cf warfare will be a toothed crimping irAn, a wire frame and some extra hair if the home grown crop is insufficient to produce the necessary abundant effect. The severe simplicity we |have been affecting Of late was not becoming to many of us. It was adorable when the profile was fine and the cheeks delicately modeled, but when these per-

Jilxf«5J'•r

fections wore lucking it was, to say the least, trying. Who does not recall the attractive girl, with full red cheeks and pleasant, blunt features, who made a caricature of herself by parting her hair and drawing it over her ears after the style of prevailing modes: If she hud drawn it. lightly from the temples, with "a few softening curls left about the fp.ee, how different would have been the effect

And the dear little inaid with fine, sensitive features, who almost extinguished herself under the heavy parted locks, has begun to realize tlyi^ a daintier style of headdress is more becoming to her.

The only disadvantage of the incoming styles, is that they are apt to inaugurate an era of false hair, as the component parts of which the now coiffure is composed may all bo bought individually and adjusted.

American women wear less false hair proportionately than the women of any other country. English women of all classes It.vid their heads with false "fringes"—we call them bangs—toupees, switches, scalpcts and every other devise of the money making hairdresser. The hair problem is a very serious one to the average English woman. In the arrangement of her hair she is almost as helpless as her Japanese sister. This is particularly true on festal occasions. No matter how small and early, her hair must be dressed. If she has not a maid, she calls in rhe services of a knight of

/fr5^

the tongs. And he crimps and frizzles and waves till the result produced recalls Daniel Webster's "Wonderful, wonderful! Would that I could say impossible

But I citn forgive the English woman much in the way of such harmless adornment because she washes her head in soap and water, which is more than can be said for the Frenchwomen. Madame first puts the yolk of an egg on her head, and then washes it off in a scented decoction of bay rum and quinine, which may be very good indeed for an occasional dressing, but is little short of disgusting for a constant wash.—New York Herald.

The Smart Acorn Club.

Mrs. Cornelius Stevenson, the well known Egyptologist and society leader, is the president of the smart Acorn club of Philadelphia. Mrs. John J. Astor, Jr., is another member, while the rest of the list includes all the traditional old family names of the Quaker City. The organization boasts a handsome clubhouse, not of the painfully new sort, but a fine old family mansion on Walnut street, sacred to the use always of blue blood. Here are, in addition to the usual suit of drawing and assembly rooms, bedrooms as well as a room where an. out of town member may be quartered at any time. Attached to the club is an excellent restaurant, where a table d'hote luncheon for 50 cents is served daily. All the attendants of the clubhouse are maids, whose gowns are blue—the club color, with the club device, the acorn, imprinted on them.

A Contrast to the Wheel.

Those who are horrified—and there are some "tfbo profess to be—at women cyclists, should road the accounts of horse racing in the last century, in which women of recognized position might frequently be seen riding on high spirited ^orses on the race course, backed heavijy by betting men. A notable race was run at Ripon in 1725, in which the Ladies' plate, to be contended for only by women jockeys, was one of the most attractive features. At Briskwirth hall, near Thirsk, in Yorkshire, there is still preserved a silver teapot won by a woman jockey. It bears the. inscription, "Well-Riddep Miriam Wrightson."

The Women Lead.

Twenty years' record of coeducation at Cornell university shows that the women lead in scholarship. They have a higher record throughout the four years' course than the men. -More women than fcen received the highest record for scholarship, and with the exception of oratory women took more than their proportion&1 share of honors and prizes. —Philadelphia Ledger.

A Story Neatly Applied.

This little story is going the rounds to point the moral when an orator claims that women have until now been kept shielded from business cares andfrom the hard side of life. When the orator struck an attitude and exclaimed "Would that you would let us so protect you now and forever," a clever little woman responding tells the story of Obadiah and his spouse. The farmer's wife was about to be gathered iu by the grim harvester, death, and she said: "Obadiah, you have been a kind husband to me. You have done all you could to make my life comfortable and happy. We have been married oo years, and ever since we have been married you have eaten all the bread crusts so that I would not have to eat them. Hain't you, Obadiah?" "Yes, Lucindy, I have." "Obadiah, it was very kind of you, and now you won't mind my telling you o! one thing, will you?" "No, Lucindy. What is it?" "Obadiah"—and there was a world of self abnegation in her voice—"Obadiah, I always was very fond of bread crusts." And now that we are just passing from the old life into a new era you won't mind our telling voir one thing, will you? You don't mind our telling you that we have, many of us, been really fond of the bread crusts of life which you have so generously taken.

Generous Colorado.

In Colorado the new woman has received more public recognition in the way of election to important offices than in any other state. In Kansas women have been elected to minor offices for 15 years, but with the exception of Mrs. Lease none of them has been called to higher than village or township offices. A Mrs. Mace King has just been nominated, however, for register of deeds in Dickinson county, of which Abilene is the seat. In Colorado the state superintendent of public instruction is Mrs. A. J. Peavey. The state commissioner of dairy inspection is Mrs. Clemmer. The secretary of the state board of horticulture is Mrs. Martha A. Shute. She is an expert in her profession. In the new state of Wyoming most of the counties have had women as school superintendents for years, but Mrs. Estella Reed, state superintendent of schools, elected last fall, was the first woman to hold a state office. North Dakota has a state superintendent of schools in Mrs. Dr. Mary Barker Bates.

Dr. Jacobi on the Ballot.

Dr. Mary Putnam Jacobi, that able and ardent advocate of political equality for women, says: "The ballot does not always secure at elections the measure it desires, but it gives to the voter a certain dignity. Women who ask for the ballot are trying to free themselves from the legal inequality that exists and that affects every phase of their daily life. Responsibility and equality are symbolized in -the ballot. Public affairs, despite the opposition to suffrage, are beginning to demand the interference of women for tfie sake of their higher influence. A moral squint perverts the moral vision of the public. When class barriers are supposed to bo thrown down, the way is opened for women. So we look forward to the day when the sex class barrier will be obliterated. Women demand a fair field and no favor. We feel able to win our way along the broad lines of justice. We ask nothing because we are women, but everything because we are human."

The Girl In Yellow.

An American girl who is passing the season in London is called "the girl in yellow," because she wears nothing but gold color in the evening. A gown recently worn by her is thus described: It had a very full plain skirt of yellow corded silk, while the bodice was fashioned of accordion plaited chiffon, with a slight fullness to the front. It was trimmed with bands of gold galloon, three of them being drawn down over the front of the corsage, while one band was placed down the sleeve, reaching to the elbow. Two rows of this same adornment were used in the back, and the entire effect of the glistening gold against the soft yellow chiffon was charming. It was finished around the shoulders with a narrow band of marabout, and this was used also around the sleeves at the elbow. Yellow satin stockings and slippers, with a tiny gold buckle, and a great fan of yellow gauze completed the toilet.—New York World.

Mrs. Harmon.

Mrs. Harmon, the wife of the new attorney general, is said to be an unusually fine conversationist and a woman of rare intellectual powers. She has three daughters, one of whom, Miss Elizabeth, who made her debut last winter, will be among the few young women in cabinet circles, as most of the children of the other officers are still in their teens. Mrs. Harmon met her husband at her home in the town of Hamilton, O., where the attorney general, then a young law student, had gone to visit her brother.

Women Monument Makers. The proprietor of a Cincinnati marble yard employed three women a year ago to handle and saw the great blocks, polish the marble slabs and do the same work that men had for years monopolized. Today he has 12 women in his employ, earning from $7 to $12 per week, and is so well satisfied with them that all the men employed will be gradually supplanted, except a few laborers, Who will operate the derricks and do the really heavy work about the yard.

*i Fiehus.

Fichus ar'6 to be greatly worn next winter, and very stylish and dressy they nre too. The pretty pelerines, made of lace and ribbons, with the long ends crossed under the bust, carried round the waist and tied in a bow in the back/ also promise to be fashionable. Lots of our elderly female relatives have real lace fichus hidden away among their treasures. Now is the time to coax them out—the fichus and the elderly female lelatives as well—Chicago Post.

Today.

Bay not tomorrow! Today is your own To parcel as you will, For who can tell that when the day has flown

He shall be living still?

Oh, blest is he whose daily balance sheet Brings perfect work to view, 'fvhose closing day leaves no task incomplete

For other hands to do.

Tomorrow's but a jack o' lantern sprite That flees the laggard's clasp. Joday's the power whose hand of gracious might

Holds fortune in its grasp.
