A ROTARY RIG
May Be Operated on Spindle Top
Says Judge Pope.
INJUNCTION WAS REFUSED
Notice of Appeal Was Given and
Matter Is to Be Carried Up
for Final Determination.
(Houston Post Spccial.)
BEAUMONT, Texas, February 13.—This
afternoon at 4 o'clock Judge Pope ren-
dered his decision in the case of the
Texas Crude Oil and Mining Company vs.
Oscar Moore and T. H. Bass, a decision
which is of Importance to the oil inter-
ests of this section.
In this ease the plaintiffs had secured
a temporary injunction restraining the
defendants from drilling with the rotary
process below the cap rock on Spindle
Top within twenty feet of the plaintiffs'
properties at Spindle Top, alleging that
by the rotary process water was pumped
into the source of oil production, doing
great damage in diluting and spoiling the
tame and thereby depreciating the value
of plaintiff's property and the quality of
his oil production. The case was tried
on the motion to perpetuate the Injunc-
tion for several days, and was yesterday
held under advisement by the court.
Today Judge Pope dissolved the injunc-
tion restraining the defendants from op-
erating their property with a rotary on
Spindle Top, to which judgment the plain-
tiffs excepted ntid gave notice of appeal
and also requested the court to name the
amount of a supersedeas bond to take the
case before the court of civil appeals for
adjudication. The court has not yet
fixed the amount of the bond, being in
doubt as to the right of plaintiffs to
peal.
ORANGE WILDCAT.
A Big Sign to "Keep Out" Has
Been Posted.
(Houston Post Special.)
ORANGE, Texas, February 13.—The
people of this cltv are In a terrible pre-
dicament with reference to the oil excite-
ment. It seems that they are afraid to
believe in the genuineness of the reports
by the driller at Terry and are afraid not
to believe, because to disbelieve means
that there will be no share in the profits
in the future, and to believe is to run a
risk of getting buncoed. Daily visits are
made to the well by Orange citizens as
well as by outside people. The report of
those who venture to go out to the well
are anxiously awaited every evening.
Those who visited the well yesterday
afternoon said that the bailer with oil
dripping from it was hanging up con-
spicuously, and that the greasy fluid
could be seen in the ditches near by.
Near by the well there is a sign. "Keep
out." It is reported that arrangements
have been perfected by which a six-inch
well will be put down near the old one.

uary. 1903, and the fee which it is pro-

The physic habit is more
dangerous than dyspepsia
it
■.1*1
Most Physics Leave You Weak (
Dyspepsia often causes intense distress and pain, which
is quickly relieved by a thorough physic, but unless the
proper remedy is taken the patient is very apt to find him-
self a slave to the "Physic Habit."
This is caused by the severe shock which the drug gives
to the intestinal muscles making them so weak they
are unable to voluntarily perform their functions. The
bowels cannot act of their own accord and so the
physic which caused the trouble is taken again
but in a larger dose in order to accomplish
results. The need for such an artificial treat-
X k ment becomes chronic and the size of the dose
must be gradually increased. The patient at
last becomes a confirmed victim of the "Phvsic
Habit," and his strength and health rapidly
leave him.
Dr.Caldwells SninpFepsin j
docs not act like other laxatives. Instead of
weakening the intestinal muscles it so strength-
ens them that they can perform their func-
tions unaided. It is a pleasant remedy to
take, and rapidly strengthens all the muscles
through its great tonic properties. In case3 of dyspepsia it quickly relieves the
pain and soon affects a permanent cure.
All druggists sell Pr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin at 50 cents and f, 1 a bottle.
Money back if it doesn't satisfy.

WEIMAR PROSPECTS.
Outlook Is Just Now a Very
Flattering One.
(Houston Post Special.)
WEIMAR, Texas, February 13.—A re-
view of the past year and a peep into the
future of the present one makes things
look flattering for Weimar. In the past
year Weimar has led all the towns be-
tween Houston and San Antonio in the
shipment of country produce. As an esti-
mate of what she is doing in the way of
exporting produce, a few figures are
given: During the month of November
Weimar shipped out $6188 worth of tur-
keys, $1037 of chickens, $2417 of eggs, be-
sides seven carloads of pecans, which
brought in the neighborhood of $14,000,
making in all a total of $23,572.
Also shipped about 10.000 bales of cot-
ton, twenty or twenty-five cars of pota-
toes and several hundred head of cattle
to Northern and Texas markets.
The town is in a better condition finan-
cially, commercially and agriculturally
than it has been for seven years. Mer-
chants are doing a good, steady, substan-
tial business. There is more money in
the country than ever before; bank de-
pots have nearly doubled in the last
year. The farming lands around here
rank among the best in the State and
are In excellent condition. The farmers
are only waiting for the weather to turn
warm to begin planting.
The Weimar oil mill has furnished sev-
eral tons of fertilizer to the farmers of

TI a1 *s superseding old-fashioned cod liver oil and
' emulsions because, without a drcp of oil or
disagreeable feature, it contains all the medicinal elements
of cod liver oil, actually taken from fresli cods' livers.
By our process the oil, having no value either as a medicine or
food, is separated from the medicinal elements and thrown
away. Unlike old-fashioned cod liver oil and emulsions,
Vinol is deliriously palatable, agreeable to the weakest stom-
ach, and therefore unequaled as a body builder and strength
creator for old people, puny children, weak, run-down men
and women, after sickness, and for all pulmonary diseases.
Everything Vinol contains is named on the label.
OUR GUARANTEE — We have such faith in VINOL, that if you will
take it we promise if it does not benefit or cure you we v/ill return you
your money without question. We take all the risk.

DR. J. ALVIN HORNE, M. D., D. S. T
JUDGED BY THE GOLDEN RULE
It is a fact that there are men in every line of business and in every profes-
sion who are trying to take advantage of the people by treating them unfair-
ly. Unfortunately there are a few such men even in the medical profession
who by their dishonest dealings throw discredit upon tlxe whole medical fra-
ternity. However, for the same reason that you would not throw away a
whole barrel of apples, because it contains a few rotten ones, the profession
should not be condemned for the actions of a few. When Dr. Home began
practice many years ago, he chose as his motto the words "Honesty is the
best policy." To this he has always adhered, and his success and the confi-
dence the people have in him pi ov e they appreciate honest methods.
CHRONIC DISEASES ARE HIS SPECIALTY
The doctor makes no extravagant statements by claiming to cure everything
under the sun. But he has devoted years of patient study in large hospitals
and clinics upon difficult and obscure diseases and can give you the latest and
most scientific treatment known to the world for lung, heart, stomach, liver,
kidney, bowel and bladder diseases.
DISEASES PECULIAR TO WOMEN
Very few women enjoy good health and many of them will buy some much
advertised cure-all and treat themselves for months, or go to some so-called
healer or to some fake and in this way become chronic invalids. What else
can you expect when such a delicate organism is subjected to such hit or miss
treatment?
DISEASES OF MEN
Every form of trouble resulting from indiscretion or disease, treated scien-
tifically. Loss of ambition, failing memory, loss of will power, sleeplessness or
any other condition due to nervous exhaustion brought on by breaking the laws
of nature. Consult the doctor on these delicate points. All business con-
fidential. Names of patients and their troubles never published except by
request of the patient who has been cured.
