The Oil Field.

There is little news of importance to
chronicle. The Morgan No. 3 and Coast
No. 3 are both drilling in the first pay
streak, and are partly filled with oil.
Martin No. / is still doing 20 barrels IN
hour. Drilling is still going on slowly at
the Shrontz well. The hole is full Of salt
water. The B. B. Campbell No. 2 on the
Wade has been abandoned and the casing
pulled. The field in which this we'll is loca-
ted has proved an unfortunate one for the
genial contractor, MI. Harris. Work was
commenced on No. / last March and the
hole put down 800 feet when caying rock
was encountered, causing the hole to be
finally abandoned with two or three sets
of tools at the bottom. The derrick was
moved a short distance north, and a
second hole put down to a depth Of over
1000 feet, when a set Of tools was lost,
making it a very difficult fishing job in so
small q hole, three strings Of casing hay
ing been put in. After two months of
patient and skillful effort to clear the
hole it has been abandoned, and the rig
will be moved to location No. 4, which is
about 200 feet from the Workman, and
the same distance from the Morgan prop
critics.

SENATOR GREAT SPEECH.
The Effort Universally Commended as Ju-
dicious, Timely and Effective.

The Effort Universally Commended as Ju-
dicious, Timely and Effective.
The great subject Of conversation among
Democrats, yesterday, was the address de-
hvered at the Opera House, Wednesday
evening, by United States Senator John
f. Kenna. On all sides could be heard
words Of commentator, and approval, the
complimentary remarks coming in some
instances from very unexpected quarters.
The sentiments to which the distinguished
orator gave utterance seemed TO appeal
with exceptional and peculiar force to
the whole people of this country, their
appreciation not being restricted TO
any particular section OF class, and the
language, reaso ling and Straightforward
ness employed from the opening to the
close, enabled every one, whether present
at the meeting or peusing his remarks in
print, to at once comprehend and apply
forcibly and effectively the points made.
Even Republicans with a disposition TO
find fault, were at a loss to specify wherein
the speech was lacking in great qualities,
and all classes and conditions united in es-
teeming the address an able ono.
