CHARTIERs-The next few days will mark
the most interesting period of the CHARTERS
field since the opening up of the big wells on
the Beck and Heiser farms Two of the ad-
vance wells toward CHARTERS should find the
sand not later than Saturday, and if they are
not paying investments il will place the seal of
condemnation upon territory in this section of
the field. The first of these wells due is the
McKee's Rocks Oil Company's on the Younker,
which viii be closely followed by John a. Nc
KeisOn, the Guthrie and Kennedy's on the
Lauinger. The Fisher Oil Company's Stein
miller mystery is not showing up as big as 1t
did Saturday. and adjacent territory has lost
much of its attractiveness. The we'll after its
owner had secured considerable territory, was
drilled In Saturday and responded at 80 barrels
an hour Sunday it had declined to 16 barrels
an hour, and to-day was not making 2lo barrels
a day. Hutfnagle on the Huffnagle lot, is in
the sand but not deep enough to find oil; from
its location the venture will make small, pro-
ducer. Arbuckle's No. l was treated to
second dose of glycerine yesterday and to the
surprise of everybody interested in this part of
the field responded at 80 barrels an hour, or
720 barrels day. The Trimble Oil COMPANY
on the Hurley lot. are nearly through the 100
foot and should reach the sand by the first of
the week. The Fisher Oil Company are build
ing rig on the Mrs. Myers farm about one
quarter of miles northeast of their Steinmil-
Ter well. and the Fisher OIL Company and Fred
Lauinger are building another on the Guthrie
1S-acre lot.
Fred Lavinger. on the Caughy, is drilling in
the sQuaw sand. while Webber & Co. will soon
case on the Pohr farm. The Fisher Oil Com
pany and Lauinger expect the sand in Craw-
ford No. l the last of the week or the first of
next, and are down 1000 feet with No. Craw-
ford. Robinson & Co. are building rig on the
Messrs. McGunnigle farm, about 100 feet west
from the Lot Steenmiller mystery. he Bridge
water Gas Company have timber on the ground
for a rig on the Duval, and the McKee's Rock
Oil Company are building another on
the Zinkham lot. The Elcho Oil Company
will start drilling No. in day or SO
on the johnson, and to-day commenced pump
ing their Scully No. ], which is making at the
rate of 60 barrels day. Patterson & Jennings
have a bad hole in the salt sand at Ward No 2
Melarkey e. Co. are down 500 feet with Scully
No. 2, and are building No. 8: their No, is
pumping so barrels day. Brown & Co, on the
Wilkinson, near the schoolhouse are rigging
up and the McCalmont Oil Company are start.
ing well on the May, near Scully Springs.

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
THE NEW
TARIFF BILL
WENT INTO EFFECT
Monday, October 6

By the operations of this law, the
prices of many lines of goods, both
foreign and domestic, ARE SURE TO
ADVANCE. Now, we are not specu-
lators ourselves, neither are we
alarmiSts, and we do not ask or ex-
pect that our customers will specu-
late in such lines of goods as we
carry; nor purchase such quantities
as they may not require for imme-
diate use.' The Policy that we have
adopted is and will continue to be
as follows: In anticipation of the
passage of the New Tariff Bill, dur
ing the summer and early fall, we
have placed orders for a somewhat
larger stock of goods than was our
usual custom; of course, these goods
were all bought at the OLD PRICES,
all of which we shall continue to
sell at the OLD PRICES, not making
any advance whatever in the prices
of anything that we now have in our
house or that is yet to come in on
old orders, but it is simply business
and to be expected, that when we
have disposed of our present stock
and have to replenish at the AD-
vANCED COST, that the retail prices
will most assuredly have TO BE AD-
vANCED in accordance Herewith, so
that we would advise our customers
to AT ONCE make purchases of such
articles in our line as they will want
for immediate, and use in the near
future. These statements are facts
and are worthy of your considera-
ton, and it is needless for US to say
that it would be to your interest, if
you are in want of anything to profit
thereby. By keeping this thought
before you, GALL GOODS AT THE OLD
PRICES until they are sold," "NEw
GOODS purchased at the ADVANCED
PRICES, of necessity will cause AD-
vANCED RATES to the consumer"
you will thus be led to take our
advice.

Such statements as the following should cer-
tainly inspire absolute confidence in Hoods
Sarsaparilla. The letter came TO us entirely
unsolicited, and in a frank, honest manner
expresses the grateful thanks OF happy
mother.
Feeling very thankful for Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, l wish to give this unsolicited testimonial
of the benefit we have received from this great
remedy and Hoods Olive Ointment, for feel
that were it not for them should have lost as
promising little boy as anyone could wish to
have. When he was eight months old salt
rheum broke out all over his body. Our family
doctor took charge of him till he was two years
old, and then gave him up. purchased two
bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla and some of
Hoods Olive Ointment and took charge of him
myself. Very soon after had given him half
a bottle of Sarsaparilla | could see difference
in the child. Improvement continued as kept
on with the remedy, and now my boy is four
years old and as healthy and rosy as can be. l
want others to know of this great remedy, so
write this statement. 1 can never tell how
grateful am for my little boy whom thought
must die, but who is now SO happy and robust,
with not even a scar on his fair skin," MRS

THE FIELD SITUATION.
THE FEATURES THAT GIVE COMFORT TO
BULLS AND BEARS.

The CHARTERS Pool Undergoing Test-Ar-
buckles Well Doing Nobly-Latest Re
ports From the Butler County Gusher-
Notes of Operations in Various Terri
tories.
The field situation, with the exception of
part of Butler county, presents encourag-
ing features to both the producers and the
full element of the speculative trade.
West Virginia, like Lima, has for some time
been regarded as bearIsh feature, but de-
velopments of the past year have not borne
out this view OF the situation. Mount Nor
ris, Warrington, Belmont and Eureka have
not cut conspicuous figure in rolling up
production which, all told, would but little
more than equal the output of Wildwood.
West Virginia may be summed up as field
of great possibilities and limited probabilities;
or in other words it is fttingly represented by
a great desert with an occasional oasis Char
tiers, Westview and Jacks Run have all seen
their best days while the l00-foot territory'ha
apparently reached its zenith and is now on the
decline.
Wildwood is hanging IN the balance. and
only few more days is required to tell which
way the beam will turn. If the test wells now
nearing the sand are failures the extension of
any considerable territory is out of the ques-
tion. Just what will be the results of the
Jefferson Oil Company's big well near Saxon
burg can only be determined by the drill, but if
the past history of the pools in this section of
Butler county be taken as a criterion its race,
so to speak, will be quickly run.

4 Hero of the Lakes.

y pathetic story of disaster, OF linger-
ing horror and of supreme heroism comes
10 us from the great lakes. At this sea-
son OF the year they are lined with
broken ice and swept By fierce gales.
VenturesU,ne fishermen, nevertheless,
try their skill amid the pcrils of wind
and waves. On tile edge OF the ice pack
on the shore OF Lake Erie an upturned,
waterlosged and rapidly sinking boat
bearing a half frozen, half starved man
was picked up the other day. He had
been III the ice and water for days, and
was so nearly dead that his recovery
will be attended by the loss Of some OF
lis frozen limbs.
When he set out on the treacherous
water he had q companion. Their boat
was overturned and they clambered on
her bottom. For hours they chung there,
hoping for rescue. Then they discovered
that their joint weight was too great for
the waterlogged boat. If both remained
by her both would die by drowning when
she went down. One might stand a
chance OF being saved.
The otherman coolly and calmly looked
the situation in the face. Il have nc
relatives dependent on me, no one to
mourn for me-" he said at last, 'whilt
you have a mother and sister who look &c
you for support. Good-by, old fellow,
I'm going to meet my Creator" Then
with silent prayer he slid into the chill
waters and disappeared forever. That
was hero;sm Of the highest type-the
heroism of sacriice.-New York Press.
