BRINGING IN A WELL.
ANornER aAssER FoR wuEELINe
Finished In the Hickory Field Yesterday by
tbo Wheeling C~OmpaDy-An Interesting
Process A visit to I"Flinn City"
Capital Of the State of Hickory.

The Wheeling Natural Gas Company
brought in another heavy gasaer-one Of
the Apest-yestsrdAy afternoon on the
HARRISON farm. This Ia the we'll known
as the HARRISON 9. An ISTELLIaEScER
man was fortunate enough to be q spsCts-
tor Of the drilling process, When he ar
rived at the we'll the drill was just about
to be set going on the crust or "cap" Of
the gas sand. Before tho tools were lei
down the well was measured. This Ia
done by means Of q steel measure weight
ed al the end, which is let down by q
small reel made for the purpose, When
tho weight touched bottom tho 9,lll feel
mark was at the mouth Of tho casing
showing that the well was just 45 feel
deeper than tho HARRISON |, several hun
dred yards distant, -,
The measuring process finished, tn
tools we're swung and started down thu
deep hole ut u lively clip. Prior to this,
close fitting top piece had been screwed
on the outer large casing and the sma!le,
inner cpsing, The fact that the hole wa
absolutely tree from water WIS shown b!
allowing q tester to hang in 1t oil night
This ia arranged to 1T the hole 80 tlgltl!
that II even q teaspoOnful OF water hal
been in the hole it would have caught il
THE GAS INCREASING,
A little gas was escaping from the vel
before the work Of drilling in was begnu
The drill pounded away onthe hard crust
producing apparently little impression
Gradually, however, the cloud Of fine duS
blown from the hole grew denser, an
water thrown down to vet the cable wa
sent up in a fine mist, which went ha.
way up the derrick, The reporter though
there was already something OF a gassel
but the officers OF the company and tn
drillers paid no attention, but kept pound
ing away. In an hour the gas was hissin
from the hole; in two hours tho rise an,
fall OF the tools was accompanied by
nard, coughing sound, like q large tow
boat putting with q heavy tow. WheI
the drill was drawn out to screw O.
another bit the sound became o roar, lik
nothing but the continuous and indesCrl
bable rush Of tho waters at Niagara, Still
the well was only approaching the end.
After some further drilling white pei
bles and dark fragments Of stone rangin
from the sizs OF a pea up 10 a quarter
ounce piece, began to fly from the hol
aud fall in u shower on tue derrick lool
The roar increased. The drillers now on
ployed long stick to turn the drill bGc
and forth, instead Of the short hsndl,
When the men happened to step near th
hole their clothing luttered in the currer
Of gas.

JOHN GooDE, the rejected Solicitor
General Of the q nited States, has pub
lished manifesto abusing Senator
Hoar In particular and every other
Senator who had anything to say or to
do in his rejection. Goode attributes
every reason but the right one for his
rejection. He never takes into consid-
GRAFTON that he served two terms In
Congress when he should not have been
there, and when his election was brought
about by his own manipulation OF the
votes cast. A man who will encour-
age the stutfing OF the eallot.boxes with
tissue ballots and prof. by them could
never make an honest interpreter Of
the law and would hardly make such a
Solicitor as the times demands. The
Senate would do right in rejecting

anything TO do with debau ching the

He never tells you that cot

Sails homeward tomorrow.A
short while since he sent us
1900 dozens oftowels bought
fully ne-third down the
market. Big shave that on

make a midsummer bargain
and give you the benefit.
Haven't said much of
them. They have told their
own story but wise folks
have been taking them away
quite fast. But the lot was
big and some hundreds OF
dozens yet remain. One
grade, very popular, is S. 60
a dozen. You may have a
sample one for 80 cents.
They call this "a by as
inches but the length is real
ly as counting fringe. An
other is $500 for a dozen or
30 cents for enc. Size said
to be the same but the width
is 2o inches and the length
with fringe full 4S. They
are huckabacks, both all
linen, and the silky white
fringe will tell you how good
the linen is.
And with them is a de-
bris bargain. Only social
ed because it was a last
years over buy. $I.35 a
dozen for a knotted fringe
small-sized huckaback towel.
Many people would find
them full good enough for
common Use.
In ten days Mr.. Irwin will

think not. We know the
