TUESDAY:

You, who are passing
through this big village to,
day-will you drop in and
see a little OF how our people
trade? You may hand your
travelling bag to a man at
the door; walk whittier you
will, up stairs, down stairs !;
ask all the questions you will
OF whomsoevef you meet,
and use your eyes.
The drift of events has
given us a peculiar place );
and the drift of trade has fill
ed it with peculiar sights
Buying and selling you don't
care to see--you can see
them anywhere. What is to
see here, then? Forty shops
in one, with no walls be-
tween. But that isn't much
to see. No; it isn't. Size is
nothing. And yet size is
something.
If we we're going to give
references as to our value
to the people Of our city and
region,we should point to the
size Of the place they have
caused US to cover with the
means of ministering to their
wants; to the shortness of
the time in which they have
accustomed themselves to re-
sorting to us to their con-
stancy in coming; to the con-
hdence we have s own in
their continuing to come
confidence shown by the pro-
vision we have made for
their satisfaction by merchan-
disc and for their comfortable
entertainment.
You may see how gener-
ously our people respond to
such provision for their every
day wants as we have learn
ed to make. 1t will do us no
harm if you come and see
and 60 away and tell.

STORIES OF FORTUNE.
How a Water Well Became nm Oil We'll
and an OIL Well n Water Well.

"Talk about tumbles IL the price OF
oil" said a veteran operator on the Brad
ford, Pa, Petroleum Exchange, "nothlng
like the one Of the winter Of 1860 has
been known in the modern days OF the
trade. That was the winter that Jesse
Heydrick put down the~o.d Farmers and
Mechanics well, or rather the company
that he formed put it down, and that vas
the first company ever formed to develop
the oil territory. The well came IL good
for about 1900 barrels a day, and half
Of it couldn't be taken care Of, but ran
down the creek in a regular flood. Oil
was oil then, and was worth Sl3 a bar
rel. Pittsburg was the only market, and
we had only Il way to get oil there,
and that was by running it in barges
down the Allegheny River from Oil City.
OF course it was necessary to have fresh
cts to transport it in this way. The
winter that Heydrick struck his well the
river was frozen over, but he was bound
to get some oil to Pittsburg. He sue
ceeded in cutting a way through, and
ran ten fiat boats down. He sold all his
oil for s13 a barrel. The ncxt day a
thaw set in, and in two days the river
broke up. Then the boats began TO
run, and in a short time the market was
o~verstocked, and in less than q weesg Oil
was selling at 90 cents a barrel.
'.The early days of oil produetionwere
attended hy many curious incidents.
One of the queerest was a streak of luck
a well owner struck On the creek in SGs8
He had drilled a well down to thefthird
sand, but found nothing but water, and
three days continuous pumping failed
to bring anything else to the surface, SO
he abandoned the we'll in disgust. The
next day a neighbor of his, who was
operating on an adjoining lease, came
over to see the disguised we'll owner,
and informed him with much excitement
that since the pumping Of water had
ceased at his well great trouble had re
suited at the other well, which had
yielded thirty barrels OF OIL day as long
as the water was being pumped, but
upon the stopping Of the water pumping
had filled up with water and produced
no more oil.
"The result was that the man wht
owned the producing we'll hired the less
fortunate operator to Keep his pump
going, for which he paid him $40 a week
The producing we'll was thus restored t.
it's former condition, and things worke,
satisfactorily for six months, when sud
denly one day the we'll that had beer
yielding nothing but water began pump
ing oil. and the one that had yielded oi
in urn became a water well. Til
changed situation resulted in a lawsuit
which was won by the owner Of the wei
that had at first yielded nothing bu
water"

Abuses by the Press.

The New York Hour, in speaking OF
the VIGOROUSLY sensational articles that
disgrace the press of late, says An
other odious result Of this taking the
pa lac aloag on the hunt is the oppor-
tunity it offers to INSCRIPTIONS detec-
tives to levy blackmail. If that nefa-
rious business has not been carried on u
connection with this particular case,
then appearances are sadly deceitful.
The most outrageous statements have
kaen published in the papers Of this
city, which were furnished by the detec-
tives apparently fer the purpose Of
frightening one or two wealthy meninto
shutting the mouths either of the detec-
tlves or the reporters-probably both.
The stories, as printed, were ridlculously
improbable; nevertheless they were of a
kind which a man with money would
willingly pay we'll not to have published.
The daily press of this city is in Il great
measure responsible for the present state
of affairs in this case as in most others.
They sent reporters to the scene of tie
murder-for what purpose? To tel Ike
main story of the crime, and describe
what took place at the public sessions of
the coroner's Jury? Certainly all that;
but much more. Each reporter knew
perfectly well when he left this city on
the work, that his place on his panerlid
not depend upon his telling what ii
was proper the public should know, but
upon his telling just those things which
the public had no business TO want to
know, at least at that stage Of the game.
For example, if the Tins published
one day a story which the Uera'f or
Tribune did not have also no matter
low mprobabLe). or which the Veru}i
or the Tribune could not match bv an
other equally sensational. the reporters
Of the last two papers knew perfectly
! we'll that they would be abused high and
low in their respective offices for being
beaten and perhaps they would even
lose their places. And still il might be
that the 7in'cSS story had lie and
blackmail written MI over the face al il.
This Is supposlng AL extreme case; bU'
Il illustrates the point. In a word, tn.
insane fear IN the offices If our grea,
Journals of being beaten" is at the lot
tom of most Ct the abuses OF which III.
press of this country IS guilty al the
present day.
