miles wide, running from Northeast to
Southwest, but somewhat irregular
line, OF course. In some mStanceS-aS III
the Washington (Pa.) field-the pools are
found off this line; but, as rule, the
drills have developed the sand rock oil in
line from the Bradford district to
Macksburg, in a width of about ten
miles.
The three wells spoken of are backed
by ample capital, and it is certain. if the
development is satisfactory, hundreds of
others will go down in the immediate
vicinity of st. Clairsville as rapidly as
they can be drilled. That st. Clairsville
is in the heart of the district seems to be
reasonably certain, and that important
developments will be made this season
we fell quite sanguine.

Married in a TWinkling,

From the Memphis Avalanche.
Justice Blackwell is hustler when
the occasion warrants it. He had just
adjourned court yesterday for the pur-
pose of beating man out of the cigars
at poker dice when a couple entered who
wished to get married. Their names
were S. r. Patten and Ollie Connors,
and they stood anxiously awaiting the
performance of the ceremony. The man
who wanted to shake for the cigars was
in a hurry, and started to leave
''Hold on a minute" called out the
justice to the departing citizen, then
turning to the candidates he fired the
following questions at them: 500 you
take this woman to be your wife?'
Il do" said Sam. ''Do you take this
man to be your husbandy' II reckon, :"
said Ollie. "Then pronounce you man
and wife"
The ceremony occupied just two Sec
onds by the watch, and the justice over
took his friend at the bottom of the
stairs, beat him out of the smokes, and
was back in his Office to collect his fee
before the couple had sufficiently recov-
cred to realize that they were married.

ANOTHER BOOM BREWING.

There are many unmistakable evil
dences that Kansas is just now on the
eve of an era of growth and prosperity
such as it has never enjoyed in its BOOM
INCEST periods heretofore. The strong
est augury of this is that the entire state
is alive to the necessity of united action
and in perfect accord as to methods to
be employed in helping along the de-
sired conditions. Heretofore the towns
have been the chief beneficiaries of lively
times, but the farming community will
get the first benefits of the coming &C
cretions.
One who has not seen it can have no
idea of the great crops the Kansas farms
has produced this year. Corn cribs and
granaries were long ago filled to over
flowing. The farmers are piling the
cars of corn into great stacks. A year
ago the corn crop of Kansas $4,000, 90
bushels; this year it is 278, 900, 900 bushels.
The state has never known anything
like it. The average yield will be from
fifty to seventy-five bushels per acre.
Careful estimates place the wheat crop
this year at 10000, 900, against 36,0OO,-
600 year ago. Prices are low, to be
sure, but a farmer with something to
sell. even if he has to sell it at a low
price. is deal better off than the farmer
who has nothing to sell whether the
price is high are low. If prices of farm
produce are low. so are the prices of the
things the farmer has to buy. A hun
dred bushels of corn will buy as good an
overcoat today as it would buy when the
price of corn was twice what 1T is now.
The present crop has not fairly started
for market yet. The railroads are
swamped. Along the line of the Atchl-
son road alone there are 5000 car loads
of Kansas corn waiting for the cars into
which it is to be loaded

A TARDY REJIONDER.

Judge Foster, in his open letter on re-
submission that appeared in the EAGLE
several weeks ago, asked the anti-resub-
missionists if they were prepared to say
that the average intelligence in Kansas
is higher than in other states in the
union. No one essayed to answer the
query, for the reason, the Topeka Cap
ital alleges, that where there is intelli-
gence there is apt to be modesty. Taking
the Capitals constructive answer in the
affirmative for true-and we will not
deny it here-that paper acknowledges
itself devoid Of the quality under discus
sion, or else it is a conspicuous exception
to the rule set up by itself. Or it may be
that the Capital made the reference al
luded to as a sort of pretext for dishing
out bit of taffy to the teachers who
were in convention in Topeka last week,
when it declared that "the State Teach
ers association comes pretty near afford
ing a direct reply to the judges
Fosters) inquiry" We are not going to
detract one iota from the high estimate
placed upon the intelligence of Kansas
teachers, nor say that they do not fairly
represent the people of the state at
large, but what arrested our attention is
the circumstance that the Capital,
which champions everything
only(9-what is good and ennobling and
in every way superior, and condemns @
everything the reverse-on occasions
should have permitted the judges stric-
ture O. upon the state to go unchalleng-
ed and unrebuked for month or more

Salvation by Work.

The human race has been saved by having
to work. 1t digged its way out of its prime
val pit by work. When it discovered its ma
kedness and had to be clothed, it worked for
its raiE,ent; when it appreciated the respon-
sibilities Of fathernood to be the feeding and
rearing OF the young, it worked under the
impulse of an affection that was refined
above the instincts Of the brute. The rela-
ton of husband and wife was made possible
and proper only by tie willingness to werk,
that It might gather to it the neeessaries Of
existence and finally be adorned By the
promptings of intellectual as wei as physical
wants II Mother Eve is responsible for all
this we lift our hat to her and offer the sin-
cerest respect 70 her great msDory. Size did

MISTAKING THE TARGET.

Douglass county farmers propose to
run boycott on what they denominate
the dressed beef combine, which means
of course the meat packers. The EAGLE
has no inclination to defend any body or
any combination that undertakes to OPP
press their fellowmen, whether In de-
pressing the price of farm products as
they come from the producers hands, or
augmenting the price of food articles to
the consumers; but 1t strikes us that this
boycotting business is very much like a
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS pol
icy. If the packers should combine and
play the same game on the producers
and refuse to buy or handle their stock
the latter would unavoidabiy be in a
worse fix than ever. The margin be-
tween the price of live stock and dressed
meat at retail is not fixed by the pack
ers, as has been repeatedly and clearly
proven, but by the local retailers COM
bine. The packers sell the dressed meats
at an advance of half cent to a cent
pound above the price of the animal on
foot, but the retailer doubles up the
price to the customer.
If to boycott is the only remedy for the
evil that the farmers complain of as to
the live stock and dressed meat question,
they would get at it more directly by
placing the clamp on the nearest object
to them, although the effect upon the
other would be indirectly the same.
There is this difference in the relative
effect: The consumer can compel the
retailer TO sell for less profit and at a
lower price, if that is the object sought to
be accomplished, by refusing to buy at
the high price, while the packer cannot
bring him to terms, because the latter is
a seller, not BUYER. Our sympathies
are with the sufferers when their suffer-
ing is not the result of their own willfui
folly, and for that reason we regret to
see them pursue course calculated to
aggregate rather than ameliorate their
WOES

81 don t believe" said a New York
clergyman the other day, THAT any re-
porter is more keen for an item that he

We can get doctrine in plenty from our

most influence our hearers. I don't
mean the sensational happenings Of the

sort which may be kept out of the pull
