TuI1 New Novel is not only one of
I'LL the most exciting and dramatic
stories ever penned, but it contains per-
haps some of the very best pictures of
the horrors of the Siberian exile system
of Russia ever written. 1t is a singularly
powerful expose of Russian bureaucracy,
cruelty and intrigue. AT the same time,
the novel possesses all the most interest
ing elements of powerful love story;
dealing with the almost successful efforts
of Russian officials to accomplish the
destruction of the hero and unhappiness
of the heroine.
The story involves political intrigues
on account of the rivalry between differ
ent departments of the Government, the
meetings of band of Revolutionists, to
one of which the hero is lured in order
that he may be entraPped, strange hap
penings at masked ball in st. Peters
burg, a striking scene in the terrible
dungeons of the Castle of Peter and
Paul, Punishment of the hero without trial
to Siberia, where his young wife follows
him; the life of the Exiles in the wilds of
Eastern Siberia, their plans for revolt and
escape, a meeting of conspirators in
cave on an island of the Baikal Sea, where
the hero confronts the man who had be-
trayed him, the knouting of an Exile In a
forest hut to make him disclose hidden
paper, the revolt under a man known as
"The Gar of the Exiles," the cruel acts
of injustice practiced by officials on Ex-
lies. These and many other features of
the story, together with the happy out
come of all their trials for the hero and
heroine, make a romance of thrilling
interest.
The novel is a wonderfully compact
and strong piece of story telling. 1t is
full of incident from beginning to end
There is practically no descriptive matter
in it. The plot is ingenious and compli-
Gated, and every chapter brings some new
and striking change in the situation OF
the principal characters. The story is
translated from the original Russian by
Meta Devere, who has translated a num-
Der of Russian novels. The work is
fine and spirited rendering of the original,
and seems to have lost nothing by the
transl alton into English. The author,
Count Lubomirski, is one of the new
Russian writers. None of his works
have heretofore appeared in English.
This novel has made great sensation in
Europe. The scene is laid in the time of
Nicholas, the grandfather of the present
Gar, but this seems to have been done
in order to avoid the condemnation of the
censor, as the novel apparently deals with
cote mporaneous conditions, and one
feels that the author (himself former
Exile)is writing of the present day.
lust now when the civilized world is
reused by reports of Siberian atrocities,
and by the investigations of George Ken
nan, it is believed that this will be a
singularly timely treat. The novel has
been purchased simply because of its
strong dramatic interest, and of its truth
20 human nature. The story has
breadth and sweep of action unusual in
novel so sensational. Its descriptions of |
Siberian life are singularly thrilling and
bear the impress of fidelity to truth.

A Rose Bug in Her Ear.

New PHILADELPHIA, o., March 3o.-
While Mrs. Belle Morty, of Blake's Mills,
near here, was in the garden gathering fow-
ers, late last fall, rose bug few into her
ear, and she has not yet been able to dis
lodge the little insect. She suffers constant
ly the most e1cruciating pain and annoy
ance, and from the continued buzzing and
moving-about feeling she imagines that the
bug is still alive. A surgical operation to-
day failed to bring any relief ana the
woman continues to suffer the most intense
pain.

Progress at CHARTERS.

CHARTIERs-TheE Elcho Oil Company's
No. l on the Scully has succeeded in getting
the hole clear. and if no further bad luck
occurs, will find the sand tomorrow or next
day. The Oatman we'll, located on the
southeast line of the field, is three bits in
the sand tonight, and as yet no show of oil.
Melarkey & McMillen have got their No. 1
ScullY, to pumping, and it started off at a
handsome gait. They have No. 2 rig about
completed and are getting in timbers ior No.
3. Pattison & Jennings, on the Ward:farm,
are putting the finishing touches on No. /,
habe lumber on the ground for Nos. 2 and
3, and made location for No. 4. Brown
s. Co. are building rig on the Wilkinson
farm, near the schoolhouse, Stitt & Co.,
No. 1, Crawford, are drilling at 1,0OO feet.
and will start drilling No. 2, Crawford,
Wednesday. Snyder & Co., on the Hart
man property, are drilling on the "Big
Injun," and the Beck Oil Company are

Tho Kentucky Oil Heriou.

A prominent Pittsburg producer has Just
returned from Louisville, where he has
been attending to important oil business fol
the past two weeks. While there he took a
iaunt into the Glasgow oil field, some 40 or
30 miles southwest from the CITY. The
Pittsburger describes the field and refining
plant at this place as miniature OF the in
dustry in Pennsylvania. The Kentucky
Oil, Gas ard Refining Company is the big
gun here. In fact, they are monarchs of
ali they survey and manipulate both the
production and refining trade. They have
25 or 80 wells. making an aggregate daily
production of 40 barrels.
They have pipe line, five miles in length,
which connects with the field, and their
refinery at Glasgow, which has a still
capacity of 100 barrels day. The oil is
found at depth o. 129 to 800 feet, and the
oil is dark green. with gravity OF AGO, and
refnes at a better percent than Bradford
oil, while the market value is about the
same. The company have three tank
wagons in which they deliver their
refined product to customers all over
the city of Louisville. They are
now contemplating a scheme to place
these tank wagons in every city in the
Union. Kentucky has produced no oil
from a sand deeper than 800 feet, but has
gas wells in what local producers call the
Trenton rock, found at q depth of 900 feet
In one of the late wells drilled to this gas
horizon a little show of oil was obtained.
which has lent encouragement to those in
terested in the Kentucky oil field. But
should this lower sand prove barren of oil
the Kentucky oil field in this locality is
non est. The large number of dry holes
completed here has disheartened Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio operators, who have give the
place wide berth.

Wheeling OIL Enterprises.

A new oil company has been organized al
Wheeling with a capital stock of $500, 900,
with headquarters in that city. j. H.
Hobbs is President, T. o. Edwards Secre.
tary, and j. F. Thompson general manager.
The company has large scope of territory
in West Virginia, near the Eureka field,
and including Ex-Governor Jackson's farm.
The last well finished on this farm by j. f.
johnson, but now owned by the company,
is doing 80 barrels day from the Cow
Greek sand. They have No. rig up on
the same property, and will start drilling
as soon as machinery can be placed. Syl-
vester Sheets has leased his farm. which
joins the Jackson on the southwest, at an
average of S400 an acre bonus and one-eighth
royalty.
DR.. Campbell, of Wheeling, has just
completed the organization of a company
who have leased 119acres of the DR.. Bartlett
farm, southwest of the Sylvester Sheets
farm, and are getting ready to develop their
territory.
