The first month of the yeir In the oil fields of Ohio and Indiana Haa brok n all records for January ai 66 wells were completed, regardless of the ext.'emely cold weather, to say nothing of the lh water toward the close of the month Only lxty-s-ven dry hol were encountered In the two States, while the new d-.lly production amounted to 8.981 barrels, a remarkably good average. The high Vetera the pant wek among the tream: pawning throuKh the oil regions did ma;iy thousands of dollars' worth of damage During the month the members of the Westen, Oil Men Association held their annual meeting and after the election of officers -many things of Interest wt re pointed out tn the oil country. The tax question was an Important one and an effort will be mad? to have oil wells put on the tax duplicates at $150 each. The laws conflicting with the Industry are being closely watched The association h is reduced Its membership fees of nonresident to $5 per year, which should Increase the membership In loth States. The January report shows thut 348 wells were comp!, ted in the Ohio field, with thirty failures ami a production dally of 4.30U barrels. This Is quite a decline from the December figure, but more of a drop was looked f. i Wood ei unty tan I the lead in all branches by a good margin, and the operations are confined to obi leases. Not over a dozen wells were listed as 100-barrel producers. The best well was drilled near Klndlay. in Hancock county. It had in Initial production of 300 barrels. With new work under way there is unusual activity In all fields, and, while February Is a short month. It should show many new wells completed.

We have purchased for $100,000 the American rights to Liquozone the product which doe what medicine cannot do. We thus control the only way to kill germs in the body and end a germ isease. We want the sick to know this product, and at once. So we make this remarkable offer. We will buy a million bottles and give them to a million sick. Will you if you need it let us buy one fcfr you?

We will pay your

fie coupon below and we will send you the order, good at your local drug store. This is our free f-ift and Its acceptance places you under no obligations whatever. We make it because this seems the quickest way to convince you to show you what Liquozone is and what it can do. Then (jur only request will be that you tell your sick friends what it does. When we, at our expense, have Shown ycu a way to get well, help us let your friende know it. too. Do this for the good of humanity, in this way we have seen one cure lead to hundreds of cures. And that is why we make this offer.

Acts Like Oxygen j Liquozone is the result of a process which, for more than 20 years, ha3 been the constant subject ol scientific and chemical rerearch. The process consists in generating prases, made in large part from the bsct oxygen producers. Th-se gases are confined under pressure and, by the employment of immense apparatus and 14 days time, are made part of the liquid product. The result Is a product which does what oxygen does. Oxygen, as you know, Is the vital part of air. It is the veiy source of vitality, the most essential element of life It is oxygen that turns the blue blood to red in the lungs. It is oxygen that eliminates the waste tissue and builds up the new. And no germ of disease can live in the presence of an excess of oxygen. But oxygen Is a gas, and unstable. Liquozone Is a liquid which Is not even volatile. It carries Its virtues Into the stomach, into the bowels and into the blood, to go wherever the blood goe3. It forms a vitalizing tonic with which no other known product can compare. It is life to the human bedy. And germs are vegetables; and Liquozone like an excess of oxygen is deadly to vegetable matter. For this reason, Liquozone destroys every germ in the body. And no man knows another way to do it without killing the tissues, too. We Paid $100,000 For the American rights to this product. We first tested Liquozone for two years, 1 . 1 BAD WRECK OH L, f, & W, MS NARROWLY AVERTED Engine Broke Side Rods and Blew Out Cylinder I lead -Engineer and Fireman Injured.

druggist for a full-sizs bottle cive it to vou to trv. 0 m through physicians and hospitals. In this country and others. In thousands of the most difficult cases obtainable cases which medicine could not cure we proved that Liquozone was infallible. Then we paid the highest price ever paid for similar rights on any scientific discovery. We publish this fact because it best shows the value of Liquozone. Claims are easily made, but men don't pay a price like that save fcr a product of vital worth to humanity. Men of our class do not stake their fortunes and reputations on a product without knowing that it does what we claim. We paid that $100,000 because Liquozone does in germ trouble what no skill can accomplish without it. It will do more for the : ick than all the drugs in the world combined. Ycu must realize that w,j know this when, after paying that price, we offer you a bottle free. Medicine Can't Cure Your physician will tell you that medicine is almost helpless in any germ disease. The utmost it can do Is to act as a tonic, aiding : nature to overcome the disease. Such re sults are Indirect and uncertain, depending on the patient's condition. A cure is always doubtful and often impossible. And the cures that do result are dua to Nature, not to medicine. A cure can't cjme until those germs are killed, and medicine never kills inside germs. These diseases were long attributed to other causes than germs, and medicine was Loss of $20,000 on a Fine BrickStructure Which Was Built Only Two Years Ago.

RANCOR. Me., Jan. 31.-Statlstics of the Penobscot tribe of Indians who live on Indian island at Oldtown, made public by Agent (rt'orge H. Hunt, show that the tribe now numbers members, a gain of two over last year. Contrary to predictions, the tn he is not diminishing, the longevity of most of the Indians keeping the number up to the full mark. During the year there were fourteen deaths and sixteen births. The Penobscot tribe of Indians is one of the Bkont important In New England, and constitute the remnants of a once powerful and warlike race. The men of to-day excel In all branches of athletics and are skillful in the chase and Woodcraft. Rig Thunder, a veteran brave nearly ninety years old. is still an adept at handling a canoe. He. with Peter Nicola, undertook H ear ago to go by canoe from Oldtown to Washington and bear greetings to the President, and had proceeded a long dlstnnce on their perilous ocean voyage when one tucame ill and the trip had to be abandoned.

Up to the year 1880 germs were almost unknown, but now It is known that certain diseases are due entirely to germs, and medicine in no way applies to them. Any drug that kills germs is a poison, and It cannot be given internally. Any drugs that can't kill germs serve little purpose In a germ disease. Those are the diseases to which Liquozone applies and which Liquozone alone can cure. We Offer $1,000 For a disease germ that Liquozone cannot kill. This offer is published on every bottle of Liquozone; but nobody ever claimed the reward and nobody ever will. Liquozone always kills germs. P. ease note what that fact means. All that Is necessary to cure i germ disease Is to kill the germs. That is certain; and it is just as certain that the disease will never end while those germ? exist. Liquozone taken internally goes w' ,-rever the blood goes into every cell of every tissue. No perm can escape It, and none can resist it. Can you not see that 'is results are inevitable? Germ Diseases The diseases in this list are known to be due to germs of their toxins. Every modern physician knows that medicine does not apply to them, for medicine cannot kill germs. It is true that for centuries medicine has been employed for these troubles, but germs further than the world's record, but the conditions were such that the record could not stand.

GHOST SITS DOWN TO NATIVE BANQUET Apparition Has Also Been Seen Prowling Along the Beach Leisurely. HONOLULU, Jan. HI. A bona fide ghost which, like unto that of Ranquo, appeared and took its seat at the feast, has, according to a report brought by the steamer Mauna Iyoa caused a wholesale Immigration of the Hawaiian population of Punaluu, in Kau. The story was told as follows by many Hawaiian?, who were positive that they themselves saw and recognized the ghost: A short time ago a Hawaiian, Stephen Kunuiakea by name, died at the house belonging to J. K. Kekaula in Puraluu. He was buried in ordinary fashion, and his friends naturally supposed that this was the end of Stephen so far as this mortal world was concerned. Kunlakea, however, hau a surprise up his sleeve for them. On New Year's eve a big luau was given at J. K. Kekaula's place. A large number of Hawailnns from the vicinity were present. The luau progresred in fine style anil everyone was in the best of humor, when a sudden stop was put to the merriment by the appearance of the ghost of Kunlakea. who had been dead and buried for a couple of months. The ghost took Its seat at the table, but the rest of the company did not relish its presence. Kvery mother's son present fled precipitately and did not stop before they had put a considerable distance between themselves and the haunted house. Kveryone present at the luau Is positive of the appearance and Identity of the ghost. The shade appeared once since then on the bench, where he almost frightened a couple Of his former friends to death. These, how1 ver, had the presence of mind to jump into the sea, where they were picked up by a canoe. As ghosts cannot cross water, they escuped their erstwhile friend. The late Kunlakea is making considerable trouble In his late home district. J. K. Ktkaula has moved from his house and a large number of the Hawaiians living at Punaluu have moved miiuka.

Although the down town streets and cross streets are comparatively clean of snow, there Is still much work to be done by the street-cleaning department on welltraveled cross walks Just outside of the down town district. Conditions on some of tii-.-. crOH walk, notably on Massachusetts and Virginia avenues, are cuusing complaints, as pedestrians must wade through several Inches of snow of the consistency of fine sand. This is not only tiring, but exasperating, as the average pedestrian doesn't like to Imitate the summer pastime of climbing ,nd dunes when crossing city streets in the dead of winter. With the conditions of several weeks ago at the same points fresh In mind, the through cleaning of these crosswalks VOHM be hailed as a great deliverance from threatened evil, for things will only go from bad to worse with a decided thaw.

this heto than all the arguments all the were unknown then. More than half these diseases have been traced to germs within the past five years The germ cause of Rheumatism, fcr instance, was not discovered until August, 1902. Medicine Is not for germ troubles. You must either rely on Nature to overcome the germs, or you must kill them with Liquozone. You can never kill them with drugs. These diseases yield at once Jo Liquozone. We have seen thousands of these troubles ended in a week, though they had resisted medicine for years.

Panama s Recognition Was an A ct of Justice to Oppressed People

(COXCLT'DED FROM FIRST PAGE.) hand In bringing the revolution about, and that It acted only when the Colombian commander at this port threatened to slaughter Americans. It Is only proper to say. too, that if the question of the righteousness of American interference should be put to a vote on the Isthmus it would be sustained by the unanimous voice of the people. Panama knows, as does the world at larg1. Just what motives Influenced Colombia to reject the Hay-Herran treaty. Panama has had more experience than has all the rest of the world with Colombian greed and unscrupulousness. This little republic while a state of the Colombian federation was systematically mulcted; Its cltliens were politely pilfered of their substance, and for many long years the whole state paid tribute to that rapacity which afflicts the government at Bogota. With this experience Panama knows that when Colombia rejected the treaty, upon which every hope Of isthmian prosperity was pinned, she did so In the belief that she could drive a better bargain for herself. No thought of Panama's interests entered into the considerations at Bogota, for had $40.000,000 Instead of $10.000,000 been the price we agreed to pay Colombia for a transfer of the concession, Panama would never have seen a cent of that sum. And with all Panama's future hopes staked on the transfer of that concession to the I'nlted States she, more than any other people or government, has felt the evil effects of Colombia's obstructive tactics. That is the reason this republic to a man approves American interference; that is the reason the treaty we have negotiated with Panama was so quickly accepted by the Junta. looking at the situation from our own standpoint, in full realisation of the causes Panama had to revolt against Colombia, we would have been foolish. Indeed, had we not acted us we did. Speedy recognition of the republic thereby aiding it to gain its feet, has given the I'nlted States a more perfect control over the isthmus than it could have secured by the payment of $50,000,000 to Colombia. WHAT WK (JAIN. In the first place, the people here look upon us as their friend, and are ready to rely upon and trust us implicitly. In the second place, as the canal treaty is so liberal in Its grants to us that we could not have asked more, except we had asked a cession of the entire territory. We are free under the treaty, and in return for the same terms offered Colombia, to do exactly as we please over the 0UUÜ strip; to make and enforce sanitary regulations over the cone and in the cities of Panama and Colon ; to bring into these ports free of duty all the supplies needed in the canal work, and we secure the islands in Panama bay. lying Just off the entrance to the canal, and a little work will convert tnese islunds into veritable Gibraltars. Our, dominion over the canal strip Is. in short, virtually complete. This we could not have secured from Colombia. In securing it as we have done we not onlv get that, but at th- same time we get a dominating influence over the government of the country through which the canal is to run. That we could not have secured from Coiombla. for the government, had the Hav-Herran treaty been ratified and the revolution of Nov. I never taken place, would have centered at Bogota, far from our influence .nd control. To anybody familiar with the craftiness and tri. kery of Latin-American polltics, this advantage will appear as a moot important one That we shall ever have occasion to take up arms against Colombia to sustain this republic is a suggestion one never hears on th isthmus save among the members of the American colony In this city. Rumors of all sorts are current In this regard, but none of them are deflnite. It is said that Colombians are already moving toward Panama; their camps have. In fact, been located, and tale of invasion and coming warfare are circulated. WAR NOT THOUGHT OF. The knowing the native Panamaians only shrug their shoulders at these tales. In government circles there is some little show of activity in preparing for resistance; but this I? a bluff equal in size to that which Senor Jose Agustin Arango passed to Colonel Torres over the telephone wire between Panama and this city on the evening of the 4th of November. Colonel Torres had been demanding that he be allowed t communicate with Generals Tovar and Amaya The dt:nand was refused, hut as a substitute he was allowed to talk to Senor Arango. After a little preliminary palavar Colonel Torres, in trying to convince Snor Arangu of the folly of the revolution, said: "I have 3.000 troops." "We have 4.M'." answered Arango. quick as a flash; "all armed and equipped for active service" "I shall march upon Panama to-morrow." said Torres. "Why jvait until to-morrow1" asked Arango. S We are not waiting. As I talk our 4.1 ren are marching past this building taking the road for Colon to attack you and Vlve you out of the country " "Wo vnJ ".' said Torres, "1 abail "move

ArangoT had at that mom nt about 300 men. yet they talked of thousands ind of marching across fortv-seven miles of miasmatic swamp and through forty-seven miles of jungle to fight. It was a blufft and so is the war talk one hears these day The facts of the matter are that Colombif . driven to desperation by the revolution on the isthmus. Is playing a strong game at home. She is making a show of arms at re-establishing her sovereignty over the isthmus not with auy idea of actually attempting such a feat, but with the sole ' purpose of satisfying home sentiment and of preventing a revolution there which wiujld sweep from power the present weak, inefficient and corrupt governmenL With the independence of Panama to be justified upon humai'ltarlan and commercial grounds; with the I nited States given canal rights of the 'oost liberal character and with no danger f a cJssh with Colombia impending, the 1 thmiati situation is as simple as is the alphübet. Panama will take care of herself uudef the protection we are bound to furnish h r. developing in time a patriotism now ui. known and leading to stability of government. As for ourselves, we have only to ratify the canal treaty In order to obtain full license to come hero In force, drive pestll mtlal disease from the isthmus and dig the ditch upon which the French squandered huudreds of millions of dollars. The thing we have been aiming at lies before us in easy reach One-fifth of the necessary work to construct a canal has been done; the power to do the other four-fifths waits only upon the ratification of the treaty, and in the doing of the four-fifths we shall not, as I have explained, encounter any problems that need dismay or Gaunt us In the slightest. If the demand of the commercial world for this Interoceanic canal is genuine, and of that there Is no doubt; If military 1 msideratlons make it desirable for us to control that canal, and upon that there Is only one opinion; If Colombia, by sinister intent, did delay the construction of the canal, and rejection of the Hay-Herran treaty proves that she did; if we have any desire to elevate mankind and make swamps and wildernesses subject to civilization's uses, and our policy tn that respect is too well known to be disputed, thre is nothing in what has been done here upon the Isthmus by Panamans or by the I'nlted States that Is subject to censure, for all that has been done tends directly toward the right. The end justifies the means, and for us only one thing remains, and that is dig! MKRRILL A. TEAOUE.
