Promised--The Evening Entertain
ment.

As usual. the Young Mems Christian
Association will keep open house on

time.
The reception will be held from to

be received by the reception committee

Sistersville. w. Va, December %
There has been very little of more imam
ordinary interest in the SlstersVllle
field this week The attraction during
the early part of the week was the
Riggle we'll, out near Middlebourne,
but since that we'll was put TO pumping
it not showing up for more than hve
barrels day and interest in II has
fallen off TO a great extent.
Another we'll that attracted consid-
cradle attention was that of Barnsdall
& Co., on the Thomas Mckay farm,
out on Middle Island. This well was
drilled in Thursday, and is an enorm-
Gus gusher. The well is located about
two miles from the Dye-Brooks well,
but it was thought TO be an outlet TO
these pools towards the Ohio river. The
we'll coming in a big gasser is evil
dence that it is in the vicinity of pool
, and in all probability there will be con-
siderable work done in that section this
winter, hunting for the outlet to the
pool
The Fisher Oil Company got fair
we'll on the Judge lease, on Jim's run,
over in Ohio, Friday This we'll will
likely open up considerable territory
over in that section.
There was no change in the price OF
credit balances to-day. and when the
market closed at noon it remained at
$145, yesterdays figure.
L. E. Smith and others, who were
drilling we'll on Mrs. Jackson's farm,
in Writ county, got a 20 barrel pro-
ducer yesterday.
A company composed of George c.
Craig, It. D. Ham and o. B. Ramey
started spudding yesterday on their No.
l Bowles, out in the Middle Island sec
ton. This we'll is located a short dis
Company's No 2, on the Martin, and
the location is considered one Of the
best in that territory.
Nichols & Broadwater will commence
drilling their No l on the A. A. Taught
farm, out on Middle Island.
After fishing for some time the rig
of Mccoy & Broadwater's No on the
Weigle, over on the Ohio side, has been
moved and a new hole started. Drilling
has commenced and the hole is now
down about 300 feet
Billy Reese and Gill Garner went to
St. Mary's this morning to drill in their
well on the Emaline Robinson lease,
about two miles northeast Of that place
on Broad run. This well is ahead of
developments and rather important as
an extension of the shallow pool in
that section.
The well being drilled by Gorham &
Roe, near the big we'll at Eureka, is
getting along nicely and will be due in
a couple of days. 1t is expected in New
Years Day.
f. A. Sutton has fishing job at the
top of the sand on his No. on the Sta
cey farm.
]. T. Jones & Co.'S No. 2 on the Hill
farm, out in the Middle Island section,
will be due in the sand tomorrow or
Monday. This we'll is located ahead of
anything in that vicinity.

GREAT DISSATISFACTION
At the Neglect of Council in Not PrOperl

At the Neglect OF Council I'm Not Properly
Attending 70 the Business OF the City.
There was a large amount Of deserved
criticism about the city yesterday as
we'll as at the city hall, at the repeated
failure of Council 20 get together and
transact the business Of the city. Mem
bers Of the body who make point OF
being present at session. are, perhaps,
the most indignant, at the continued
absence OF others. and there have been
some gentle hints that a number OF res
ignat.ons on the part Of those who re-
main away would work for the general
good OF the order One indignant Coun-
Gilman said he, for one. was willing 70
take the bull by the horns and declare
vacant the seat Of every man who was
not present on Monday night, and the
possibility of some such threat being
put into effect may stir the laggardS
and drOnes up.
Not only is general city business being
neglected. but people to whom the city
owes money want TO get hold Of it,
Another and still greater evil s the
fact that the failure 10 hold a meeting
at the regular time. before the close OF
the year. seriously embarraSses the City
Clerk and Receiver, and keeps them
back in the work OF closing up the bus
mess Of the year on their books. This
drawback is a serious one. and II IS the
more exasperat.ng because it IS entirely
uncalled for.
A high city official said last evening
70 a reporter for the Register.
ct hone The Register VIII roast the
life out Of members Of Council 1t IS
about the only thing which will bring
them 70 their senses. This thing of not
having a quorum, or bare quorum, 5
inexcusable. and there must be sum
mary stop put TO il, or somebody VIII
hear something drop. As a rule, only
about One-half the city is represented at
meetings Of the city law-making body.
II half the seats Of COuncilmen were va
cant. or even fourth Of them, or one,
even. In each ward. there would be
holy howl from the people, and the va
cancieS would be filled the first thing.
Yet the way things are going abut hall
the city is unrepresented in important
matters. because members stay away,
and nothing is SAID or thought about it.
Ir shows a lamentable indifference TO
the business affairs Of the town, and
there must be a change and that pretty
soon. For one, l am getting tired of it.
The gentleman who made these re-
marks. it may be observed in parenthe-
siS.is in a position to act with some Wig

IN earnest, last evening.

IN WOOD COUNTY

Special to the Register.
ParkerSburg w. Va, December 28.-
The charter for the proposed telephone
line between Parkersburg and Waverly
has been received, and the company
will organize Immediately. 1t will be
known as the Parkersburg and Waverly
Telephone Company, and route decided
upon will be fourteen miles long and
work will be commenced at once
The stations between this city and
Waverly will be erected, and the first
will be at Valley Mills, the second at
Kings, and the last in the Cooper field.
C. P. Rass's store at Waverly is men
toned as the headquarters for the Wa
verify office.
The Waverly field is keeping up it's
reputation as the best uproducing field
known in the shallow sand. In defined
territory there is no such thing known
as dry hole, and the numeber of pro-
ducing wells is increasing every day.
Two good wells came in this week.
The one on the Johnson farm is good for
IS barrels a day. and it will probably
settle down to that figure The Flor
ence Oil Company's well is also about
the same figure. Three new wells are
expected in to-day and, as they are in
defined territory, they are all expected
to be good producers.
The daily production of the field is
approaching 1900 barrels a day. and
at the rate new wells are coming in it
will not be long until this figure is
reached.
The roads throuhout the Waverly
field are in a terrible condition. Some
are cut up osuch an extent that they
are almost impossible, and it requires
a whole string of horses to get a boiler
or engine through the mud. The same
difficulty is experienced In getting coal
TO the wells. Uuless there is a hard
freeze, operations will be interfered
with to considerable extent.
Operations in the Burning Springs
continue active. The Park well came
in this week in the deep sand and is
good for % barrels day. Several other
deep wells are being drilled.
News reached here yesterday that the
Hibbardsville. O., we'll has been drilled
into the sand, was cleaned out. and is
pumping % barrels day. This we'll is
on the lease adjoining a block of leases
owned by a company of Parkersburg-
ers who are now getting ready to drill
several wells on their territory.
