M'D0NALD DECLINES.
Its Production Drops Lower Than 1t
Has Ever Been Before.
THE WELLS WHICH ARE NOW DUE.
An Important Test Well in Advance Due
on the Cubbage Farm.
NO NEW WELLS AT SISTERSVILLE

There were few new wells developed in
the Mcdonald field yesterday, and those
that did make the sand were very light. In
consequence the production fell off 1000
barrels, or to %, 900. which is lower than it
has been since it passed that point early
last fall on the upward course. There is
now no doubt but that the field is rapidly
declining, and it will be only a question of
d few months until its output gets down
among the hundreds.
Wildwood ut one time had a daily output
of more than 5000 barrels but within few
weeks it dropped from Is, 600 to less than 800
barrels a day. The same thing is expected
at Mcdonald as soon as the new wells cease
to come in, and the old ones cannot be
agitated.
Forst s Greenlee's No on the National
Coal Company's property, reached the Cor
don sand yesterday, and is good for 100 bar
rels day from that stratum.
The same parties No. on the McMurray
lot was on top of the fifth sand at o'clock
Yesterday afternoon. 1t will be drilled into
the pay streak some time this morning.

The Devonian Oil Company's well. on the
west OF south from the Meise well, is due to
get the fifth sand this week. 1t should be in
the Gordon to-day or tomorrow, and the
fifth should be tapped by Friday or Satur-
day.
This Is an important well, as it is in adj
vance of everything i'll that part of the field.
and it is expected to open up something in
the Gordon sand
The Royal Gas Company has been COM
PEELED to plug its No. on the Sauter & Pat
terson farm at Mcdonald. 1t was almost in
the fifth sand when they were forced to
abandon the first hole. They are down
about 700 fect in their No. on the McDon-

felt satisfaction at being able to do q

and remarked to companions: "This is

owner he said: "I've concluded to take

"The price has gone up since you were

the owner.
"Three hundred dollars an houri" he
gasped, and was carried to the train. The

and for this reason the Bible occupies
such prominence to-day. The Christian
religion has been attacked by science
philosophy and lately by historical criti-
cism.
We find proof that many of the stories
in the Bible are allegories, and we must
take this to mean that the race being In
its infancy at the time OF this writing
this was an easy way TO teach.
Christianity has given new principles to
man. The Bible Is book written by
men. and is literature as we'll as Shake
speare or Milton, and is to-day the great
est and grandest book OF all ages.

Door at Him.


The harmony existing in the married
life Of Hannah McMaugh and her hus-
band. was seriously interferred with yes
terday. At that time it is asserted
slight difference OF opinion caused the
heretofore happy couple TO disagree, with
what might have been serious consequen-
ces.
McMaugh, It is claimed, has aroused
the jealousy of his wife and slight argu-
ment over bill of goods brought the
matter to a climax. Late yesterday aiter-
noon, the couple were heard induiging In
angry words which were punctuated WIN
shots from revolver. The police at
station O, were notified and Capt Leavitt
immediately made an investigation.
The couple, however, were exceedingly
reticent concerning the affair and refused
TO divulge any of the particulars; IL was
learned by close questioning tnat the
woman drew a revolver on her husband,
who immediately took refuge behind the
closed door Of the bedroom. This was no
obstacle to the woman, who hired three
shots through the door, hoping In TINS
way to reach her husband, who lay nat
tened out on the floor as the bullets whist
led over him.
The husband refused to make any COM
plant or sustain the assertions OF others
who were cognizant of the trouble, put,
nevertheless, Capt. Leavitt was satisned
