ANOTHER OIL FIELD

DEVELOPMENTS IN THE TERRITORY ABOUT PARKER CITY. One Well Flows Over Fifteen Barrels in Five Minutes—Injustice to Mr.. and Mrs. Bligh Corrected. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PARKER CITY, Ind., Nov. 25. New developments in the Parker City oil field have taken place which have caused another season of excitement, exceeding anything heretofore. Well No. 1, of the Parker Land and Improvement Company, was drilled in in September, and at that time developed a "dry hole." For several days past a fine mist has been issuing from the well, and it has been carefully watched. On Sunday the well "sprayed" oil to the amount of three or four barrels. This morning, when the valve was opened, a solid, two-inch stream of pure petroleum shot into the air fifty feet in height, flowing over fifteen barrels of oil in five minutes. The well's action is being recorded at this hour (3:30 p. m.) Since last night's storm other wells in the field have an increased capacity. The Parker Land Company had made a thorouch test of all its territory resulting in dry holes and gas wells, but this well confirms the theory that oils runs in veins like water, and that the Parker City field is undoubtedly the counter field of the Montpelier field. Oil men who arrived today are watching the records of all the wells, and give it as their opinion that all the recent wells drilled in (numbering eight) will develop into producing wells in a very short time. The windstorm last night blew down nearly all the derricks and rigs, which will cause delay in operations for a few days, after which the leases now held will be actively and rapidly drilled on. ———————————— INJUSTICE CORRECTED. Full Retraction of Statements Concerning Mr. and Mrs. Bligh. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LONGANSPORT, Ind., Nov. 26. The Journal's correspondent was grossly imposed upon regarding the Bligh case, an account of which was published in the Indianapolis Journal of Tuesday morning. Great injustice was thereby done Mr. Bligh and his wife. It is not true that the young lady who is now the wife of Martin J. bligh was the cause of any trouble between Mr. Bligh and his former wife, Mrs. Elizabeth A. Bligh. nor is it true that Mrs. Bligh obtained the divorce which separated the parties to the present suit. The divorce was obtained by Mr. Bligh through Judge D. H. Chase, his attorney: nor did Bligh make a cash settlement upon his divorced wife. There was some property in which she was given a life interest. The greatest injustice was done in the article to the present Mrs. Martin J. Bligh, referred to in Tuesday's article as Misa Eiser; every reference to her regarding any improper conduct is absolutely false and without foundation. The correspondent makes this correction as a matter of simple justice to the parties who were unintentionally misrepresented. On Tuesday the Journal published, under a Logansport date, a statement which purported to be a summary of the facts in a slander suit brought by Elizabeth A. Bligh against Martin J. Bligh. It now develops, as will be seen by the foregoing statement from the author of the telegram, that the summary printed on Tuesday was not only incorrect but false in essential points, doing most serious injustice to Mr. Bligh and the lady who is now his wife. The Journal joins its correspondent in retracting the injurious statements, and expresses regret at having been made the medium through which they were given publicity. Editor Journal.

Lack of Money Was No Impediment to the Student and Ills Bride. Bo?ton Herald. The city registrar's office In the old courthouse is the scene of one or two marriages daily, and at the present time business is booming. Amusing incidents frequently occur. Perhaps the most peculiar case that has come up recently, an account of which was related to a reporter a few days ngo, is that of a Harvard student who was in love and without funds. The love conquered his pride and he concluded to investigate the matter with a view of getting married on trust. He made his appearance at the desk in the registrar's office and inquired if that was the place where he could procure a marriage certificate, and also get married. He was Informed that It was, and a blank appllctlon was handed to him, which he proceeded to flllout. After this proceeding was gone through with he looked up and in a hesitating manner asked the clerk if he could have a tew moments' private conversation with him. He was taken into the ante-room and this is the tale he unfolded: He said that he was deeply in love with a young lady, and that she was also very much in love with him. But her parents had serious objections to the match and did all that was in their power to break it off. They had closed their doors to him, but, notwithstanding this, he succeeded in arranging meetings with his heart's choice, and during one of these he proposed marriage to her and was accepted, he arguing that if they were Joined in the holy bonds of matrimony nothing, not even her stern parents, could separate them. They had arranged the details and concluded that the only thing to be done was to get married in secret and then separate until he should graduate from his college. She, of course, would go back to her home and live with her parents as if nothing out of the general run of events had 'happened. But the young man, being without funds, was in a dilemma, and the worst of it was he could not see his way clear to procure the necessary amount to pay for the certificate and ceremony. His home was in a Western State, and he received an allowance from his father only once in six months. It was not due for nearly two months. He concluded that his only course was to try the method referred to above. The clerk, being a kind-hearted man, told the youth that he would perform the ceremony and trust him for the pay, providing the lady in question was of age. The next day the couple put In an appearance and were married. Upon the arrival of the next allowance from his parent the youth walked into the office one day, made himself known and presented the clerk a tendollar bill. . JAPAN'S REMARKABLE ARMY. Its Discipline nnd Soldierly Bearing: Astonished Foreign Officer. Washington Letter in New York Tribune. " The first official report on the character, conduct and equipment of the Japanese army, as shown In the recent war in the Orient, has been made public by the Navy Department. The report is that" of Capt. Q. F. Elliott, of the Marine Corps, who commanded the American force at Seoul, Corea. at the outbreak of hostilities, and who later had under his command the guard that was held in readiness for service at the United States legation at Peking. Captain Elliott's report says in part: "The quiet, soldierly discipline of the Japanese troops astonished all foreign officers who had the opportunity of observing them while disembarking, on the march, occupying camps near, or while billeted in cities not their own. In 1870, In obedience to an edict of the Mikado, the Dlamlos mustered their Samuri and each and all of the 2,000.000 hereditary soldiers of Japan laid by their swords in a day and the privileged class became of the people. The feudal system, which had defended the country, closed it to foreigners, made invasions and filled Nippon for hundreds of years with chivalry and oppression, ended. The country was defenseless, having neither army nor navy, but the Progressive party immediately took steps to create both, modeled after those of enlightened nations. Army officers of good standing from America, France and Germany were employed to Instruct, organize and drill the new defence, but no system was adopted until from observation the German was preferred, and the Japanese army is now modeled, with slight and suitable changes, after that country. "Casual observers, though military men. are apt to credit the iron discipline adopted from the Germans with creating in less than twenty years an army thoroughly equipped, proficient in drill and possessing in the highest decree that discipline which plvea unouestlcnJng obedience and patient endurance, but these latter ouaIltie3 already existed in the sons of the Samuri, and soldiers not belonging to this clan were leavened by them; besides, for the first time in the history of their country, thev were allowed the privilege of fighting for her. These two conditions had more to do with their high standard as soldiers. In my opinion, than the system adopted. "Japanese Infantry regiments are homogeneous physically: the men do not vary more than two inches in height, seven years in age or more than twenty pounds in weight. In the field they are not burdened with overfleshv men, neither with the "faithful old soldier" whose pride has outlived his strength. Forced marches did not leave a fourth of the regiment stragglincr

I in the road, and the endurance of the men

could be counted cn nearly as a unit. Undoubtedly they are brave, but have not been tried in large bodies up to a demoralizing loss, although small parties on one or two occatiens were cut off and fell together like true soldiers. Whether they will take a panic under heavy reverses is not known. They are fairly well set up, but do not show it as much as the regular foreign soldier; good weight carriers, but I believe slow marchers, although for short distances they get over ground very rapidly on a trot, having what is known as good wind. Drill has in a great degree eliminated the native peculiarity of being pigeon-toed. In marching they step too much from the knees, and do not move out from the hip. This. I think, is due from the use of the kimona In early life. "All rifles are made at the arsenal In Toklo, and are called by the inventor's name, Murata. They are of two patterns. The one U3cd by the great majority of troops was a slrgle-Ioadlng bolt-gun of 44-calibre, sighted to 1.400 metres without wind gauge; the other, a magazine gxm of .315-calibre. The stocks are very 3hort and the cheek wide. The cartridge box is of leather, holding about forty-five round., abcut four inches deep, so as to allow the hand to enter it readily. A fmall bottle with screw stopper is made into it at one end to contain olL The belt Is of heavy black leather with a tongue ouckle. The knapsack Is cf russet leather; a pocket at one end holds the blade of the Linnamen Intrenching spade, the handle of which projects above the soldier's left shoulder when the knapsack is slung. The blanket was ot sky blue, and when rolled was strapped on top and down each side of the knapsack. An extra pair of shoes was also strapped on each side, soles out. Just below the tlap on the back was strapped a tin box shaped like the case of a alr of binoculars; this was the haversack, and was used for eating from and carrying boiled rice. There was a tray for tea, etc. The water bottle was of glass covered with leather. "Cooking in camp was done for the com pany at kitchens., large iron pots being the only utensils. Boiled rice took the place of bread: tea. beef, when It could be pur chased, and dried fish brought from Japan formed the ration. I think the cost of a single ration per day was 3 cents gold. "When in Tien-Tsin. China. I visited several times the hospital under charge of Dr. Irwin, surgeon to Viceroy LI Hung Chang. Wounded Chinese soldiers were treated here during the winter. Surgeon-major James, of the British army, had charge of some of the wards.- and was much interested In wounds made by the small-calibre, envelopedbullet. He kindly gave me every opportunity to see and much information in regard to those wounds. I saw about thirty of the wounded. In no case were bones shattered to any extent, even at the exit of the ball. The puncture was clean; no bullet was found In the patient, so the casing was unknown, whether of steel or a softer metal. They did not seem to deflect on striking, but cut their way through in the line of flight. Thirty patients testified they had received their wounds at distances varying from 130 to 400 yards. They healed readily, often by first Intention. None of the wounds were in the leg, for the men had made their own way from the battlefield on foot and In carts to the railroad, more than two hundred miles, and were several weeks on the road. All suffered more from frostbitten feet than the bullets. Out of the thirty cases I saw I think probably the old .4S-calibre lead ball would have left on the Held nine of them dead." OBITUARY.

He said, in answer to the questions put to him by a reporter, "Oh, yes; I know the public are skeptical of anything new, especially in the medicine line.
