AFTER the BG2EA,
An Attempt to be Made Mt sistersville to
Keep Up the Production

Keep Up the Production.
SIsTERTvILLE, W. Va, January II
There is possibility that the old Sis
tersville field will be drilled over again
for oil The reason of this is that some
of the oil companies are now making
arrangements to drill some of their old
wells, which have been producing from
the Big Injun sand, down to the Berea
Grit. Ever since the discovery in the
Warrington field, few years ago,
that there were good wells to be found
in the Berea after the Big Injun wells
had PLAYED out, the oil producers here
were determined to drill enough wells
here on down to the Berea sand in suf-
ficient numbers to give that sand a
thorough test in this field.
a, well on the Ohio side, on the Cain
fdrIn, was drilled down to this sand
during the early Developments. in this
/ field, but that we'll was dry in both the
Big Injun and Berea, and was not con-
sidered test on account of the we'll
being dry in the Big lnjun sand. Some
time later another well, drilled by r.
g. Caldwell & Co., on the Uriah Ice
farm, east of town some four miles,
was also drilled to the Berea sand
This well was dry in the Big Injun
sand, but the Berea Grit sand had some
oil in it and was pronounced as good
sand. Ludwig & Mooney drilled we'll
to the Berea Grit on Eveline Russelrs
farm, south of the big gasser, and
found oil in paying quantities in what
they believe was the Berea Grit.
These are the only wells that have
reached the Bsrea in the old Sisters
vile field, and the producers think the
indications in these wells were sutfi-
cient to justify further drilling,

HIBERNIANs As ENTERTAINERS.
The Public Installation of officers of
the savannah Divisions.

The public installation of officers by
the four divisions of the Ancient Order
of Hibernians at Hibernian hall last night
was a thorough success in every sense
of the word.
The installation was only a feature of
the exercises, a most enjoyable pro-
gramme being furnished. 1t was expect
ed that the occasion would bring out
the full force of the Irish citizenship, but
there was present in addition a large
number of non-Catholic citizens, who
took this manner of expressing their
friendship. and sympathy with their Irish
fellow citizens.
The hail proved entirely too small for
the large number VINO desired to witness
the exercises, and when the programme
began at $3.50 o'clock the hallway and
stair steps were crowded with those who
could not obtain admittance to the hall.
The success of the evening was due in
large part to the emergence from retire.
ment of two old stars, Messrs. 7. b. Cath
erwood and Joseph F. Doyle, who received
a most hearty welcome.
National President +. j. O'COnnor opened
the meeting with an address of great elO-
quence and power. He had no word Of
condemnation for opposing organizations,
he said, but he recounted the services Of
such men as now are members of the An
cient Order of Hibernians. He told Of
the silent suffering which made heroes
in the brave days of Ireland's sorrow, ana
of the persecution of her sons for liber-
~ IS sake, and he asserted that the An
cient Order of Hibernians of to-day is
but the legitimate successor of those who
fought for right in the brave days OF
old"
Mrs. Barber followed Mr.. O'Connor, sing
ing Kathleen Mavoureen" with such ex-
qusite effect that nothing would satisfy
the audience but repetition.
Mr.. T. b. Catherwood, who is nothing,
1t not, Irish, and who has been living In
retirement for some years scored an
other triumph by his scholarly rendition
of his own poem, "Fontenoy.' He de-
clined a recall, as he had been cautioned
that the programme was a long one.

President. A. j. Gouley of Augusta, which

Then came Joe Doyle, with How Saliva

great horse race was given to the appre-

when Mr.. Doyle gave a melange which
brought in all the plays of Shakespeare
