Rich OIL Strike in Wood County.

LIMA. Oct 3.-The Vardes Oil Com
pany, of this city, has made one of the
richest strikes ever made in the Wood
county field. Their lease is on the
Thomas farm, in Plain township. They
struck the sand on Friday, and shut
down until Saturday, when at the
depth of only fifteen feet in the sand
the we'll made four flows inside of an
hour. The strike was an unusual one
in that field, as the sand generally has
to be penetrated for depth of about
thirty feet and then shot before the
wells do much. No preparation had
been made for tankage, SO drilling was
suspended. Sunday, before tanks could
be put up, The well made more heavy
flows, the output being estimated at
500 barrels per day.

RIDDLED WITH BULLETS.
Calvin Stewart, a South Carolina Negro
Killed by Masked Men.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Sept 2s.-Calvin
Stewart, the negro who murdered a
white man near Langley short time
since, was captured Wednesday in a
swamp above Langley by Con-
stable Augustine. Tuesday night
the constable and few friends
started to bring the prisoner to
Aiken. When they had left Lang
ley about n mile in the rear they
were surprised by a mob of fifteen
masked men. Before any resistance
could be made the prisoner was taken
from them and riddled with bullets.
Before being shot Stewart confessed to
having murdered old man Carter at
Langley and implicated Stephen Dun
bar, who he claimed had aided him
in the murder. Dunbar was arrested
and placed in the Aiken Jail. The sher-
itf, fearing an attempt to lynch Dunbar
would be made, telegraphed Gov. Till
man, who ordered the Palmetto rifles
to the Jail to protect the prisoner. Dis
patches from Aiken say that n mob OF
$50 men are reported going that way
from Langley.

A DREADFUL SCENE.
Last ACT in Domestic Drama of Discord
and Despondency.


and Dependency.
PITTSBURGH, Sept. %. Samuel G.
Stodhart, a car accountant at the Car
negie Steel company, shot his wife in
the heart while she was sleeping,
and then placing the muzzle
of the revolver into his mouth
sent bullet crashing into his own
brain. The tragedy occurred at $3.50
o'clock a. m. at the home of Stodhart
on Point View avenue, East End. In
sanity over religious differences and
dependency over business troubles are
the causes which led to the awful deed.
Stodhart was 45 years old and his wife
two years his junior. The couple have
been married sixteen years, and have had
seven children, the eldest being a girl
10 years old. Mrs. Stodhart was a
Catholic, and the two frequently quar-
relied over the education of their chill
dren. Recently Stodhart's salary was
reduced 10 per cent, and this also
preyed on his mind.

Brutal Murder of Colorado Postmaster
and HIS Assistant by Indians.


DENVER, Col, Oct. ?. - Post Office
Inspector James A. Small has received
a telegram notifying him of the brutal
murder of Postmaster II. Nj. Potter and
his assistant, Robert Roberts, at Moni-
tor, Yuma county. But few details of
the killing were obtainable. Both men
were alive Friday morning, bat at noon,
when the mail was called for, Roberts
was found sitting in chair in front of
the office dead. When the sheriff was
summoned he discovered the body of
Potter some distance away with one leg
broken and the skull crushedin. Every
thing indicated that the men were
stoned to death and it is suspected that
the murder is the work of Indians in
the vicinity. The post office was robbed
of two pistols and rifle.

Three Prisoners Pick the Locks of Their
Cells and Gain Their Liberty.


LONDON, Oct. 4.-Three prisoners es-
capped from the Madison county Jail
Monday evening shortly after o clock.
Some time during the day the men had
succeeded in picking both padlocts to
the inner tier of cells in which they
were confined. When supper was
brought to them they escaped into the
corridor and followed the servant girl
to the outer door, where they pushed
past her, and jumping through the
kitchen window started for the street
on run, and have so far eluded cap
ture. The three men were Mayo, a
Marysville darky, heavy set and a
mulatto; Mccartney, white, slim and
with dark hair and eyes, and Charles
Tyre, of Midway, a slim, light-colored
darlxy.
None of the men had on coats, and
Tyre had on light colored pantaloons.
Their hair was short, having been re-
Gently clipped. Thomas Creamer, the
aged murderer of his son Ollie, was the
only other occupant of the Jail and had
evidently not been let into the secret,
as he made no effort to get away. Nc
Cartney, safe burglar, is unknown to
the authorities here and is thought to
have been the one who picked the
locks, although Mayo is known to be a
desperate character and has served two
terms in the penitentiary.

Workmen were eating supper at 1890

floor made the fire scatter quickly. The
barn was filed with motor and trail
cars. The engine was not running,

from the power house burned off, so no
power to get the cars out could be had.
Seventeen motor cars, including Can
ton city cars and three big inter-urban
cars, We're burned, besides trail cars
and other valuable property.

The operation for the removal of nasal
Instructions is not a painful one when
done by skilled specialist. Following
is what Madame p. Bessonette. the lead
ing milliner of Fargo. n. D., has to say
regarding her case:
For ten years suffered all the fortunes of
an oecluded nose. My throat was dry and
voice husky. My speech had the peculiar
Yankee twang, due to nasal distractions.
The sense of smell was lost, there were pains
in my nose. head and eyes. L was also
troubled with a severe cough. often compel
ling me to lie awake ali night. L had been
treated by several physicians, who each in
turn removed some of the distractions, but
not sufncient to give me permanent relief.
l had about decided to sell out my business.
NY rest was broken, for as soon as | lay
down the nasal passage closed COM
pletely, causing a suffocating, strargling
feeling Life was miserable. and repeatedly
told the doctor that l had rather die than
slives in such condition. Coming to ST
Paul, consulted a high-priced specialist.
and. he said he could cure me, but named
such price that would not payit. was
then told by a friend to visit the Copeland
Medical Institute, and am now thankful that
followed the advice, for under their Skillful
Treatment my nose is as free from obstruc-
tons as it ever was, and ali the other disagree
able and annoying symptoms have disappear
ed The grOWthS were removed in sclentlhc
almost bloodless, manner. and with but little
pain. To.say that | am satisfied and grateful
IofgYhat the physicians of the Copeland
Medical Institute have done for me, is but q
fa1nt expression of my feelings i am ready
to say that what they have done for me other
physicians with whom treated failed to 90.
j. heartily recommend any of my friends who
may be suffering as l did, to consult these
eminent SDeCialiStS.
