OIL Excitement.

A special to the Cincinnati Post
says ;-There is considerable ex-
element in this town and vicinity
over the probability OF striking oil
in paying quantities. The man
ayers OF the New Domain oil and
Gas Company, who are boring
wells in this section, are very reti.
cent and nothing definite can be
gotten from them.
No gushers have been struck, but
as they bore down to certain
depth they draw the tools, plug the
hole and proceed to bore a new
hole in the Immediate locality, il
gives rise to the opinion that oil
has been found. What makes this
superstition stronger is the fact that
around every well bored the ground
is thoroughly saturated with oil,
On Beaver Creek, at the mouth OIL
Salt Lick Branch, the oil ran out sc
strong as to cover the water fol
miles before it could be stopped
The well was plugged, of course
but large tank full OF the liquiC
stands there as an evidence of it
existence in this county.

ways ready to make the change
But her Heavenly Father, in his

was the pole vaulting contest. The Spirit
Of the Times says that the competition
bad been prolonged for moro than three
hours. g. T. Bucholz and w W. Hoyt
had each cleared IL feet ga inches, but
failed at the next height, Then tho bar
was put back TO ii feet Q inches, to 1
feet, TO 10 feet p inches and finally TO 10
feet inches at which height both cleared
IL aud then began trying at 10 feet 8
inches. While the pair were vnultinR at
this height well known citizen ap.
proaohed tho referee with fire in his eye,
stating that the competition was AN out
rage, was brutal, was sure TO permanently
injure the contestants, who were now al
most dead and hardly able to put one foot
before tho other.
He demanded that the referee should
stop tho competition at once and threaten
ed 90 appeal 10 the police IL the referee re-
fused TO interfere. just as he reached the
most eloquent period of his peroration,
Hoyt having failed three times Bucholz
won by clearing the bar at his third trial,
sprang from the dirt, performed a Sioux
war dance and hula-hula In rapid sue
cession, turned two handsprings and ran
across the field ut u ten second gait while
the referees friend faded into silence.
