BENwOOD.

Benwood mourns the departure of a
prominent steel plant employe last week.
He packed his household effects 'like the
Arab. and as silently stole away" between
two days. A number of prominent mer-
chants are left in the lurch, a grocer to the
tune Of $780, and Wheeling furniture firm
SEQ. besides sundry other small accounts,
amounting in the aggregate TO over 81 900.
We can console ourselves in the thought
that what is Benwood's loss is Pittsburgs
gain.

No Foundation for Rumors.

BISMARCK, 5. D., November ls.-The
Tribune says there is no substantial
foundation for the wild rumors of an In
dian uprising at Standing Rock agency.
IL says: 1.-The Indians are living peace
fully ON their reservation and waiting
patiently for the next ration day. y
Nevertheless there is great deal of en-
citement in this vicinity. Half dozen
newspaper correspondents from the east
arrived in Mandan to-day. Capt. Gregg,
Gov. Miller'S private Secretary, was
busy all night gathering up arms and
ammunition. Agent Mclaughlin re-
ports everything quiet and orderly
there. The opinion OF conservative
people is that the Indians do not dream
OF an outbreak.

ST. MARY's, w. VA, November ls.-
The excitement which few days ago
prompted men TO pay such enormous
bonuses on oil territory has abated
somewhat. The reason is that every
everybody is waiting to see what the de-
velopments are at the Duncan or Boss
we'll at the lower end Of town. This
well has been producing about 3s bar
rels a day, but is being sunk deeper,
and property owners as well as leasers
are waiting for the result before sign
ing any leases. Some options have been
taken recently to hold certain property
for few days, and the prices stipulated
in these options are simply enormous.
All told there are fifteen wells sinking
here, and these reach from the lower
end of town to about mile above here
on the river.
The Kelley farm Oil and Gas Com
pany's well, on Middle Island Creek,
has considerable oil in it, but 1t will go
deeper. Wheeling capital owns about
