OUR PRIZE.

Mile Laos county won the premium
at the State fair for the best county
display, and that county has received a
great deal of praise for its enterprise
and it was all merited. Todd county
should have had a display there, but
there seems to be no one to lead in the
matter.-Iodd County Argus.
Mile Laos county is getting large
amount of beneficial advertising out
OF it's excellent agricultural display at
the State fair. Morrison county
should have sent it's exhibit to the
State fair. 1t was a creditable display
and if artistically arranged would have
attracted attention there. The Mile
Laos exhibit took the prize for the best
county exhibit. -Roy0H0n Banner.
The Princeton UNION came out last
week in boom edition style over the
fact that Mile Laos county had cap
tured the first prize at the State fair.
Mile Laos is an excellent county and
has faithful and able representative
in the UN1oN.-Royalton Banner.
In the exuberance OF its joy, the
Princeton UNION got out splendid
paper last week celebrating the vic
tory of Mile Laos county at the State
fair.-Aitkin Republican.
There seems to be considerable dis
satisfaction among the numerous
counties which had exhibits at the
State fair because Mile Laos walked
off with the first prize. Most Of the
others think they we're clearly en-
titled to the honor: County exhibits
at a State fair seem to be about as dis
astrous, therefore, as a, prize baby
show. Every fond mother who ex
hibits her baby is confident that it is
entitled to the prize, and when some
other baby gets it-well, then the
trouble begins. Wade1a Pioneer.
Mile Laos county was awarded the
first premium for the best exhibit O.
agricultural products at the recen
state fair. While the soil in man!
northern counties is just as productive
and could probably make as good al
exhibit, yet comparatively new
county put up display that took the
blue ribbon away from older counties
Mile Laos county won her laurel
fairly and her citizens deserve every
credit for their grand and astonishing
exhibition of Minnesota products

S. A. Sylvester was in town on Mon
day. He came from Princeton.
The western part of the county ably
supported the fair this year and we are
glad to see that the interests of that
section have been recognized by the
election of J. F. Prescott to the Presi-
dency of the association.
We have overheard number of
very complimentary remarks passed
upon Mr.. J. L. Brady's mastery opin-
ion on the bridge question which we
published in full last week. We shall
not repeat them however as that able
Princeton lawyer is now in Cambridge
in attendance upon the district court
and we would not make him blush for
the world.

What Princeton Can Do.

Miller Craig reports several large
yields of grain in this county. In
many places 100 bushels of oats to the
acre have been threshed, but the ban
ner yield comes from G. w. Harter's
farm in Princeton township. Mr..
Harter harvested III bushels and a
peck of OATS per acre from a six-acre
field. Who can beat this record?

In o recent address Bishop Ireland said:
Grover Cleveland is a God-fearing man. and
the people applauded vigorously. They were
all sure that Grover had good reasons to be
afraid Of just God and were glad to know that
the oppressor Of the people suffers the pangs
of conscious guilt.-Los Angeles Review.
The Bishop was joking. A presi-
dent Of the United States who is be-
loved of the English aristocracy,
whose portrait is suspended in the
Bank Kof England; whose reelection
for a third term is advocated by the
London Times, and who is praised by
every enemy of liberty and humanity
in the whole world, has reason tc
tremble when he thinks of God and the
Judgment. He has done more harm
to the United States than any other
man that ever occupied the presi
Dental chair. If he escapes damna
tion twill be on the plea that he was
a fool and did not know what he was
doing.

4 GOOD GAssER
And Indications for a Good Flow of Grease
At the Colernin VOL

And Indications for a Good Flow of Grease
At the CoIerain Well.
The oil we'll at Colerain, B., on the
farm of John Harbuck, which was put
down by Wheeling capital, struck the
Berea grit sand yesterday afternoon,
and the flow of gas which resulted made
such noise that it could be heard a
mile distant. There was no time TO get
the tools out of the hole, but the fires
under the boilers were distinguished be-
fore the gas became ignited. A crowd
of several hundred spectators and Curl
iosity seekers, who have been watching
the progress of the work for two weeks,
were present when the gas was struck.
This afternoon the work of drilling
into the sand will be resumed. The
owners of the well say the indications
are good for a strong flow of oil, and
some are even so enthusiastic as to
say that it marks the development of
an entirely new field.
In the event that the grease is found
in paying quantities at Colerain, Wheel
ing capital will reap the benefit. The
present we'll was put down by syndi-
cate in which DR.. Gasmire, Howard

Jennings d Murphy have several thou
sands Of acres surrounding their wells,
and nobody but themselves can get near
them.
Youngson, Hatfield and the Mccall
mont Oil Company have scored a fail
ure on the Frohm farm, almost in the
middle OF the Ohio side of the Sisters
Vile field. The Frohm has never had
well drilled on it and the present op-
orators started three, of which this dry
one is the first. The second has been
shut down, at 100 feet, on account of it.
At so feet in the sand only the slightest
appearance of oil could be seen. 1t
will be shot and pumped. The curious
part Of it is that the new we'll on the
Buheit farm, only 500 feet distant, is
pumping rs barrels of oil.
The oil market closed Saturday at
SLIGO for credit balances and STA for
options. Cash oil opened on Monday at
S1.45, and advanced cents at a time,
on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday
Meanwhile refined moved up from Clio
Ito $50 cents per gallon for bulk, an adj
vance Of Just y cent per gallon. If the
same ratios should continue between
the fluctuations Of crude and refined
the former viii be affected Just 80 cents
per barrel for every cent per gallon that
the latter changes; therefore, to get 81
crude. refined must rise to 1888 cents per
gallon.
The oft-repeated assertion that the
Russian product is seriously affecting
or has affected, the foreign trade in
American oils is not borne out by the
figures compiled and recently published
by the national bureau of statistics
They show that the exports Of Ameri-
can oil and its products in 1894 were
nearly one-half greater than they were
in 1890. The total number OF gallons
exported in 1890 was 661. S9S, Ga; equal
TO 10, 759, 491 barrels of ~ gallons each.
The statistics for the exports for the
present year are not yet in hand, but
there is no reason TO believe that they
are any less than those of last year, and
are probably greater. 1t becomes a
grave question, then, whence the oil is
to come to supply the demand. The
Standard Oil Company sees this, and
instead of relying wholly on the Penn
sylvania fields, even supplemented by
Lima, is securing South America, as

An Interesting Suit Over Leases, Involving
About 100000.


About 100000.
Special to the Register.
Sistersville, w. Va, June 23.-The
week closing yesterday Saturday was
the Hveliest one in the oil business
that Sistersville has seen for two years.
New men and new companies have
been in here from everywhere. The in
terest is conferred in the Middle Island
country, around Captain Jones big
strike, and fancy figures have been
paid for territory anywhere near it,
though that lying southwest Of the we'll
seems to be attracting most attention.
The Dye-BrOoks well still holds up
to nearly 800 barrels per day. About
ten new wells have been located near
this one, ard will be drilled at once.
There is quite an interesting law
suit pending over 500 acres of leases
lying by the side of the new well The
leading facts are as follows: Last win
ter some time, S. w. Lawrence, the
Sistersville feed store man, went out
in that country around Shiloh to take
up some leases if he saw anything that
looked good. Not having time TO stay
himself, he employed one, NJ. G. Stew
art, TO lease the land he wanted,
and came back to Sistersville leaving
him at work. Stewart went to work
and took the leases, but all in his own
name, representing, however, that they
were for Mr.. Lawrence, and when they
were completed he refused to deliver
or assign them to his employer, unless
he was paid 500 for taking them. This
Mr. Lawrence Thought an exorbitant
figure and refused to pay it. Stewart
then offered the leases for sale, but was
enjoined from disposlng Of them.
Stewart answered and the injunction
was dissolved. He then sold the leases
to Jones & Chestnut for $1,000. They
had some other leases near them and
drilled a we'll on one Of them, only ZIG
feet from the line of one of the contest
cd leases. This we'll is now the famous
Dye Brooks. and the suit is still in
court. The leases in controversy are
worth at a moderate estimate 100000.
The Freeden well, on the Ohio side
of the river. is attracting some atten-
ton. and it seems likely that another
small field has been found. It cannot
be large, as it is drilled all around, and
cannot be an extension of the Sisters
Vile field, as the oil is of different
color and of lighter gravity.
The Reece well, near the Wylie school
house on French creek, has fishing
lob. The tools we're let drop from the
TOP of the we'll by the parting of the
cable and fell to the bottom, distance
of 700 feet. The probabilities are that
they will have to move the derrick and
drill new,hOle.
The Stewart well, on the Browse
farm, is in and is reported dry. This is
a result not to be wondered at, as it is
situated directly between two dry holes
that are not more than two and a half
miles apart
The Broad run wells are holding up

Tn regard 20 the other two places men

very close to 200 barrels. but there have
not been any wells drilled near it, and

The Children's Day exercises at the
Chapline Street NJ. e. Church, which
were postponed from Sunday, June 9Th.
were held yesterday afternoon. The
programme arranged by the Rev. DR..

teresting sermon appropriate to the oc-
casion.
For some time the Junior Epworth

preparations for an entertainment to
be given for the benefit of the church.
The preparations have been completed,
and it has been decided to give the en-
