Mr.. John D. McCune is IN Cum
berland drilling two wells, enc for
the Cumberland Ice Company and
one for the Cumberland Brewing
Company. He has also about com
pleted the contract for the digging
Of three wells for the b. & o. r. Il.
Company. at Brunswick. Nd, during
the present week. Mr.. McCune will
also finish his water supply contract
with the NJ. NJ. M. & l. Company.
John has been very successful with
his well drilling business, and the
best evidence of this is the fact of
his securing contracts not only in
this county, but over the surround
ing neighborhood.

imme diately over the store room of
Mr.. G. O. Lambert. After some
difficulty the fire was gotten under
control. but not until great deal OF
damage was done to the stocks of

The first performance in this city
of 8 Ole Olson" as largely attend
ed last evening at the National, and
it may safely be said that thu occas
ion was quite a success. The play,
which is mixture of melodrama and
ia ce, makes an interes ing story.
The central figure is young Swed-
ish lad, who has lately arrived in this
country, and the part afforded Ben
Hendricks ample opportunity to show
his ability as dialect comedian He
seemed perfectly at home in his pc
culiar character, and delivered The
quaint diaect in a refreshing style
that evidently pleased his auditors
immensely. Alice Evans, as Gene
DamDte, Ote's sweetheart, was quite
good, and her unsuccessful rival.
Mrs O'Flan'gon, was very well rep
resented by Miss Hussey. Frank e.
Baker and G. F. Lorraine made first
rate Williams, and other parts were
well taken by Anna Burton and
Chas. j. Slime. An agreeable feat
ure of the programme was the sing
ing of the Swedish lady quartette.-
