ADJUSTMENTS.
A FINE SHOW

One of the best attractions of the
season opened three nights engage
ment at the Grand Opera House last
night to an audience that filled the
theatre and showed its approval with
enthusiastic and appreciative applause.
There are more funny situations and
ridiculous dilemas in "Gihoolys
Abroad" than any farce comedy seen
here in many a day The German
Brothers are as funny as ever, and have
characters which fit them to perfec-
ton There are three of them, and one
is as funny as the other. They are
even funnier than when seen here in
black face. The company supporting
them is excellent, each member being
fitted to the character in which he or
she appears. Pleasing specialties are
introduced in each act. and taken all in
all. an excellent evenings entertain
ment is given, and one that should
pack the Grand the rest of the week.

Out on the Pacific coast wheat is
worth more than in Chicago. The fail
ure of the Australian wheat crop and
the increasing demand from China,
Japan and South Africa have operated
very favorably for the farmer of the
extreme Western States. The short
age of wheat i'm Australia is estimated
at 100000 tons. and there is a prospect
that American shippers to South Africa
may hold a good part of the, trade which
is now diverted in their direction. In
1895 there were S0.0o0,OOO feet of lum-
Der sent from the Puget Sound mills
to Delagoa Bay for the supply Of Afri-
can mining towns. This business is
likely to be permanent. and win carry
other trade with it.

tion Seats will be reserved at the
Y. NJ. C. A. building Saturday morn
ing. The New Wilmington Globe con-
tains the following testimonial:
Mr.. Koehne's lecture was the third
of the Westminster College course. It
was a remarkable piece OF comprehen-
sive statement. elegant dictiOn and
forcible oratory. At times it came up
on the audience like an avalanche. At
times the thread of the discourse was
almost hidden under the mass of his
torical reference. beautiful imagery
and mirth-provOking anecdOte 1t is
destined 10 be regarded among our best
critics as an able and valuable con-
tribution to platform literature"

fuulty of this plan Of taking gold out
Of one window of the Treasury and
passing it in at another is apparent.
This game has already been worked to
a considerable extent The gold which
came over as foreign gold on the st.
Paul. is an instance in point. This
gold was found 10 be the very same
bars that had been taken from the
sub-treasury in New York but few
days before.
Moreover. there is a bare possibility
that the Treasury NAV yet have to
fan back on the Morgan syndicate's
bid. as it had TO do in the case Of
the last bond issue. The Morgan bid
is six millions higher than it paid for
the last lot of bonds, but the syndi-
Gates responsibilities are much less
and. besides. it now has the Opportuni-
ty to pay for the bonds with a portion
of the treasury gold. as other bidders
VIII Qo- W men IL uuu5lil lhC Ae-'- -1o1'e
the Morgan syndicate obligated itself
not only 10 pay for the bonds with its
own gold but lor certain length of
time to keep the governments gold re-
serve intact
OF course. as the Chicago Chronicle
points out. the Morgan people have an
interest i'm protecting the gold reserve,
as they had last year. but not to the
same extent. as they do not get much
more than half the amount of bonds
and they have to pay some 6 cents on
the dollar more for them. The loan
is a brilliant success so far as the sale
Of bonds is concerned. Whether it
will be as successful in the accomplish
ment of its purpose as was that of
year ago remains to- be seen.

Parkersburg. w. Va. February 10
The report which caused such great
excitement here last night. i'm regard
to the coming i'm of the Lubbock Oil
COmpany's well near this city. which
was reported as good for 50 wells
day, seems to be without foundation
and cannot be verified. as the owners
are reluctant about the matter. One
of the company. however. gives out the
following in regard to the well The
well is now 1850 feet deep. and they
have splendid showing Of gas which
has considerable force. The driIlers
are bothered a great deal by the
heavy flow Of salt water. but they have
decided to case on down and get rid
of that trouble.
tt is the intention to send the drill
on down at least 1000 feet and give II
a thorough test in the deep sand. The
presence Of so much gas is considered
very encouraging to those interested
IN the enterprise and they are sanguine
Of getting oil in paying quantity in the
lower sand.
Tn the year of 1879. when the oil
fever struck Chlhcothe. O.. and wells
were bored there right in the city. r.
c.. Lewis drilled a well right in the
centre Of the town of Byer's Station.
At q depth of as feet he struck oil.
and then went down to a depth Of 572
feet, when he stopped The wei was
never shot or even cased. and salt
water poured into il in perfect floods:
however with an these disadvantages.

gallons Of oil a day the production be-

the Lewis we'll They cased the we'll

Yesterday was ladies day at the Car
roll Club, and the fair sex turned out
in large numbers, many of them ac-
companied by their gentlemen friends.
The ladies took advantage of the OPP
pOrtunity for a closer inspection of the
club than was possible during the open
ing reception, and they were outspoken
in their praise of the institution. Dur
ing the day the billiard and pool tables
were placed in position. Arrange
ments have been made for a smoker, "
for members only, Saturday evening.
This promises to be a very enjoyable
stag entertainment. There will be
good music, both vocal and instrument
tai, and recitations and addresses.
The pie social which was given last
evening by the young ladies' musical
and literary club of the Church of the
Immaculate Conception, proved COM
plete success, both socially and finan-
cially. An excellent musical and lit
erary programme was rendered, and
several hours were spent in social
amusements. Refreshments were
served throughout the evening.

bride. who was the groom's best man.
After the ceremony Mr.. and Mrs. Vain
were driven 10 the P, c. & st. l.. depot.
