In tomorrow. A strike here will ex.
tend the development nearly a mile
northwesterly from Eureka, aud for this
reason the operation is attracting more
attention than anything in the, field.
The island we'll has been something OF d
mystery, but the knowing ones profess
to know that there is oil in the we'll. A
well has been located on the Browse

some town lots. These rigs arc ex.

An odd thing has happened on the
Bills farm just above St. Mary's. A
well, in which Wheeling men have the
chief interest, was put down for shallow
oil without any favorable indication.
At 800 feet the tools wero taken out and
removed. On Monday 1t WAS noticed
that the floor Of the derrick was covered
with oil, and once every "a hours since
the we'll has made light flow through
the heavy column Of salt water. The
gas is very strong. Oil men have d
theory that ut 1000 feet somewhere in
this field paying oil will be found, and
some OF them thinking Bills hole may
be near that sand.

ADJUSTMENTS.

'Julicr ut the Grand Tonight Two
Sisters''-Thc Coming Opcrn.
Last night at the Grand Miss Ida Van
Cortland and her company appeared in
"Quecna," giving performance OF that
drama that appeared to give satisfaction
to the audience which, while it was not
generous in proportions, was liberal with
its applause.
This evening Miss Van Cortland will
appear in the role Of Juliet in Shake
speare's "Romeo and Juliet" Miss Van
Cortland's performance OF this part is
said to be exceptionally stine and one
that none OF the lovers OF Shakespeare
should fail to witness. Miss Van Cort-
land has proved herself to be an excel.
lent actress, as she has appeared in other
plays this week, and considerable curl.
osity has been aroused to gee her as
Juliet. Her supporting company is one
Of the best that has appeared at the
Grand for some time.
"rHE TWO SISTERS TONIGHT.
"The Two Sisters" will be presented at
the Opera House this evening for the
first time in Wheeling. The play was
written by Denman Thompson and
George Ryer, the authors of>"The Old
Homestead" and they are said to have
turned out a great play. An exchange
puts itthis way: They have, so TO cay,
cut out small slice Of the real world
and put it on the stage for people to
look 1at, deepening its shadows and
frightening its lights just enough to
keep it from seeming tlat and colorless
under the glow OF iootlights. 1t enter
tains every moment, it touches the best
emotions Of human nature, and it
teaches more than one lesson Of lie,
more impressively than the best sermon
ever preached"
THE OPERA NEXT WEEK.
The appearance OF the Grau Opera
Company at the Opera House next
Monday and Tuesday evenings and at
special matinee Tuesday afternoon
promise to be events that will draw out
large audiences OF Weddings best class
of theatre.goers. Monday evening and
Tuesday afternoon "The Brigands" will
be sung and Tuesday evening "Amo-
rita" will DO put on. 1.-THE Brigands" is
one Of OGenback's compositions; it has
been we'll said Of this composer that he
never wrote music that was not beauti-
full, and that OF ."rhe Brigands" is said
to be up to his usually high standard.
An exchange says Of the opera as rem.
dered by this company: "Some Of the
solos are particularly catchy and pretty;
the choruses arc grand. The opera
moves along with dash, the Grau COM
pany giving very fine presentation Of
the great Casino success. There is some
suggestion Of the thieves Of 'Erminie' in
the four brigands whose antics furnish
the bulk Of the fun" nj
RESTFRow's pATurlNDERs COMING.
Tho Grand has booked drawing card
for next week. Rentfrow's "Jolly Path
finders are old favorites here. The
company is this season larger and better
