Reports From Fields That It Is Weakening.

TEE OIL SUPPLY INCREASING.

Geologist Explain Tills by Saying That the Oil Has iicen Forced to a Higher Level Than the Gas—Indiana Miners Made

Happy—Other News Items From the Hoosier State. MARION, Ind., Oct. 2.—The cold

weather of the past few days has severely tried the capacity of several gas plants in the belt. All companies are sending notices to their customers to lay in a supply of wood, as they would not be responsible for a failure of gas.

The reasons giveu for the sailing of the supply have been numerous, but the chief cause is no -other than the drilling for oil which is being done in the fields. Geologists say that the pressure of gas forces the oil to higher level than that held by the gas, consequently as the gas is drawn off, the oil slowly drops in its place, finally filling in where today the gas is located.

The fact is already being demonstrated in dozens of wells in this vicinity, which three years ago were as dry as powder. Now cliey are making from one to 10 barrels of oil a day, while the pressure of gas is slowly going down.

Another very noticeable fact is the sniaiiness oi the wells being drilled. Two and three years ago unless the well made from 8,000,000 to 5,000,000 feet of gas a day it was considered very small. Today a 1,000,000 well is a bonanza.

A medical treatise on chronic malaria will be sent free by the Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing company, of Columbus, Ohio. This book is a complete guide to the prevention and cure of malaria in its various forms. Pe-ru-na has long since beeu recognized as the only infallible care for the chronic form of malaria. While quinine has become the standard remedy for acute malaria, commonly called fever and ague, many people have found by bitter experience that- it will not cure the chronic form. Pe ru-na cures these cases promptly and permanently.

warship has been lost. The cruiser Cristobel Colon has been wrecked near Capo Antonio and it is believed will prove a total loss. The crow were all saved after desperate work.

Of course the friends of the insurgents are circulating the usual sensational stories regarding this, the latest disaster to the Spanish government, claiming that the cruiser was sunk by a torpedo exploded by insurgents.

In official circles, however, this report is classed as being "nothing more than an invention of the rebels," and the distinct statement is made that there is absolutely no reason for doubting the official announcement made that the Cristobal Colon was driven on the Colorado reef by the violence of a storm and not as a result of the explosion of an insurgent torpedo.

In spite of this official assertion, there is no doubt that the government has not thought it proper to make public all the facts in the case.

tlie

Hot Summer of 181)5.

The continuance of hot and dry weather is sure to produce the prevalence of chronic malaria. The past summer has beeu exactly suitable for tho production of a great deal of malaria. Even in locaties where malaria has been previously unknown. Manyjcases of malaria are distinguished from the old fashioned fever and ague by the insidiousness of its attack and the difficulty with which it is cured. It does not come on quickly, like chills and fever. The symptoms pester and provoke sometimes for severl weeks before the patient is made sick enough to take medicine.
