Think It Was Salted.

pelptei Journal. ‘ The people over st Galveston, pass county, are convinced that they were sold out by the contractors who drilled the well over there. It appears to be taken for granted that* when salt water is struck in sinking a well there is no hope of striking gas or oil. Over at Galveston, when the well reached a depth of about 1,000 feet, the awoke one morning to hear the announcement that during the night salt water had bein The people were discouraged, the well abandoned, and the contractors drew their money and left. Now the well sends forth pure cold water. There is no'sign of salt and there is little doubt that the well was salted to order.

Mr. DePauw's Benificence.

A close friend of his says that in the past eight years Mr. DePauw has given away, including his munificent gift to DePauw University, very close to $2,225,000. There was no-limit to his pharity and yet it was always well directed. Mr. DePauw’s wealth is probably $10,000,000, possibly much more. His holdings in New Albany alone arp not less than $3,000,000 in value; besides those, he owned valuable and productive real estate of immense value at Lpuisville, Indianapolis, Chicago, St. Louis, St Paul and Minneapolis; valuable mining property in Colorado and Mexico; coal lands in Pennsylvania, Kentucky apd Indiana, besides farms and town property in Indiana and other states. He leaves a will, and his pons, Newton T. and Charles W., will be his executors. By his death DePauw University will receive at least at least $1,200,000. The balance of the estate, except a few bequests, goes to his two sons, his daughter and his wife, the bulk pf the estate going to the sons, who are to take his place in the manufacturing enterprises.—Lafayette Courier.

A Laudable Enterprise.

The old-established, rook-rooted and reliable Phenix Insurance Company, of Brooklyn, is engaged in a most commendible work of trying to educate the people of this country into an understanding of the great and irreparable loss they suffer every year from hies, and of the many ways in which fires could be guarded against and prevented. One of the methods adopted by the company to secure this most desirable end, has been the printing and sending out for gratuitous distribution vast numbers of a neat littie pamphlet . entitled, “Fires, Causes and Prevention.” Five hundred thousand copies of the pamphlet have been published, fifty thousand of which have been distributed in this state. The pamphlet devotes several pages to general observations upon the great losses occasioned by fires and wise suggestions as to their prevention, and then directs special attention to the most common forms of danger, devoting brief but wise paragraphs to various subjects, such as Ashes, Stovepipes, Rubbish, Matches, Oils, Gasoline, Chimneys, Lights, Grates, Stoves Ac. Very few householders or house-keepers can read the little book through carefully without having their attention called to various instances in which they might, with a little care afid prudence, greatly lessen the danger of destructive fires originating in their own premises. This pamphlet will be followed by others of similar import every few months. Copies be had, at any time, free of cost, by applying to the resident agent of the Phenix, M. L. Spitler, at his office with Thompson & Bro.

The graduates read their essays as follows: “Thought,” Della Thornton; ’‘The Art of Printing,” Blanche Hoyes; “Punctuality Procures Confidence,” Flora Sayler, “Reading”, Laura Yeoman; “Necessity for an Education,” Dema Hopkins; ‘‘Rise and Progress of the United States,” Horace Henkle.

Fortythree pupils of the township had been perfect in attendance and punctuality for the past year and received their rolls of honor, while Lemuel Henkle, Della Thornton and Augustus Yeoman received the silver star in honor of having been neither tardy nor absent at school for five years.

Astonishing Success.

It is the duty of every person who has used Boschee’s German Syrup to let its wonderful qualities be known to their friends in curing Consumption, severe Coughs, Croup, Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and lung diseases. No person can use it without immediate relief. Three doses will relieve any case, and we consider it the duty of all Druggists to recommend it to the poor, dying consumptive, at least to try one pottle, as SO,OOO dozen bottles were sold last year, and no case where it fajlpd wa» reported. Such a medicine as the German Syrup cannot be too widely known. Ask your drugdist about it. Sample bottles to try, sold at 10 cents. Regular size, 75 cts.
