WHEELING MANS PROSPECTS
or Becoming Rich in the Eureka Oil
Fields.

The prospects are that Mr.. J. NJ.
Clouston. of the Island, will become a
rich man before many moons, and from
what could be picked up last evening,
comes about in this wise:
Some twenty years ago Mr. ClOuSton
leased about 300 acres OF land In what
is now known as the Eureka oil
field, down the river, which has
lately gained so much promin-
ence for the large amount OF
valuable fluid squirting forth from its
wells. Mr.. Clouston complied with all
the requirements of his leases by put
ting down a certain number OF wells,
even sinking more wells than the
contract called for. He also sunk
more money than he could spare and
struck nothing but busters. In those
days the drills were not sunk To the
depths they are now, nor had the
science of oil drilling reached the state
of perfection it has in these lattcrdays.
Mr.. Cl0uston's lease was for period
of twenty-Onc years, and he supposed
the time had elapsed, at least he paid
no attention TO the matter until some
time since, when he looked up the lease
which he still had and now has in his
possession, and found that it was good
for one year longer Mr.. Clouston at
once went about a little investigation.
He consulted with Jackson Il Caldwell,
attorneys of Parkersburg, who took the
proper steps in the premises, with the
result that the men operating wells on
the tract Of land covered by Mr.. Clons-
tons leases, were compelled TO give
bond to continue their operations, and
suit for ejectment and damages
against them has been entered In the
Parkersburg courts.
|. is understood that two wells OF
Barnsdall and Moore are located on the
tract, and they are both making big out
puts. There are also other valuable
wells on the land, and if Mr.. Clouston's
lease holds good, and there is every
cause to believe it will. he will undOubt-
edly be a rich man. and his many friends
here would be pleased to hear OF his
success.

PROTECT THE CHEST.
Maternal Vanity the Cause of Much Con
sumption in Children.

You remember my railing some months
ago against the foolish mothers who let
their little children wear low bOdices, short
sleeves and short frocks You probably
thought me more indignant than the occa-
sion called for, but you will now think me-
justified Of my wrath when tell you that
the dear little daughter Of your old friend
Lima has very nearly fallen victim 10 this
insensate fashion. Some weeks ago the
small creature was suddenly seized with
alarming illness. 10 the terror Of poor
Lima and her husband, who are both
devoted 20 her. When the doctor
came Inflammation Of the lungs
was the alarming name he gave her NAL
adv. but he pulled her through in few

vided with warm wooden clothing up 10
her chin and down 10 her heels day suits
and night suits. and that long warm stock
ings should be got for her instead OF the
short socks she had been wearing He told
Lima frankly that she had impcriled her
child's life by the insufficient way in which
She had clothed her, and said that quite
half of the consumption in England might
be traced back 10 the irrational custom.
Even when no serious illness appeared, he
added. the constitution was weakened by
having 10 resist the changes Of tempera-
ture while the chest and lungs are unprO-
