THE ssxwooD pool.
The Cbers Farm Well Increased to Forty
Barrels an Hour

Barrels an Hour
PITTsBuRe, Oct. 10.-The well on the
Chers farm, at Benwood, Monroe
county, is better than was first indi-
Gated when drilled into the pay. 1t
started at 25 barrels an hour and was
drilled for Is minutes again today and
at once increased its production to 40
barrels an hour. This is the largest
producing we'll in the southwest fields,
and would seem to indicate that the
bulk of the Benwood territory lies to
the north and northeast of the first
we'll drilled on the Price farm. Opin-
ions have been greatly at variance as
to the future of the Benwood pool.
The pay it is claimed is very thin, and
by some it has been, argued that the
wells could not hold up 1t looks now
1;ss though the pay was growing thicker
| to the northeast and the pool may be of
much larger proportions than it was
credited with few weeks ago, when
the dry hole was drilled in on the Tu-
baugh farm to the south. Within a
week, barring accidents, the wells now
nearing the sand will have been COM
pleted and much more will be known
of the Benwood pool Many new wells
are starting and will be pushed ahead,
and, if possible, completed before mid
winter.
Out on Indian creek, Tyler county,
the Victor Oil & Gas company has
drilled in it's No. on the Furbee fax m
and will have a 1OO-barrel settled pro-
ducer. The we'll did barrels an hour
when the pay was first tapped, but the
wells in that territory are not noted for
their staying qualities.
South of Cairo Richie county, Knox
& Co. have drilled in second we'll on
the R. Young lot that is showing for
25 barrels day from the Big 1njun.
The first we'll on 4his lot was drilled in
early last month and caused a good
deal of excitement in that locality.
Its production was largely over esti-
mated, but when it settled it showed
record of 95 barrels day.
In Marshall county, four miles south
of Cameron, on the B. & o. railroad,
the South Penn Oil company has
drilled in a we'll on the Mackey farm
that is reported showing oil in paying
qualities. This well is purely wild
cat located many miles from any pro-
duction, the nearest wells are gassers
to the north, on the Cameron gas belt.

GOVERNMENT RECEIPTS
Must Exceed the Expenses to Insure
Public Confidence.

Must Exceed the Expenses to Insure
Public Confidence.
There was never any difficulty about
getting sufficient revenue to pay the
expenses of the government when the
Republicans were in control, nor will
there be if that party is again placed in
full power. Of course, to enact tariff
bill, the Republicans must control the
senate as well as the house. and it is
possible that they may not be able to do
that until two years from now. 1t all
depends on the degree of completeness
OF the Republican victory in November.
The Mckinley bill was passed to re-
duce the revenues of the government,
which were excessive, to correspond
with the necessary expenditures, and
this 1T did almost exactly. When the
Democrats began to tinker with the
tariff law, imports were largely sus-
pended, waiting for lower duties, and
on this account in 1894, the last year of
the Mckinley bill, the government rev.
enue, emitting the postoffice receipts,
were $297, 722, ,019. This was insufficient
and the Wilson bill by still lowering
duties kept the revenue at Just about
this figure, the government income for
1875 being $2S7, ,694,69 and for 1896
$299,6 ,S06.
The Mckinley act did much better
than this. In the three years during
which the law was in operation un-
menaced by the prospect of immediate
change the government revenue, includ-
ing postal receipts, was as follows:
1891 1892 1904
S892, 2,6l2,A47 sa54 4937, ,7e2 sss5' $40 820
This shows that the government re-
ceipts under the Mckinley law in norm
al operation were from S55, ,OOO, 900 to
$l00.000,000 year greater than the
government receipts under the Wilson
law.-Philadelphia Press.

"The Journal has become weary of

Judge Bryan. father of the Democratic

pictured as a saint, q man of irreproach-
able character and deep religious con.
victions. It has been said that he al
ways opened court with prayer and
closed it with benediction. As mat

scounderl who put In his time talking
treason, organizing lodges Of the
Knights of the Golden Circle and max
ing speeches abusing the soldiers and
the government.
"He narrowly escaped lynching sew.
eral times at the hands of the soldiers,
and he richly deserved hanging. He
lived in the hottest hotbet of secession
north of Mason and Dixon's line, and
he prided himself upon being leader
of the worst of the K. G.. C.'s, whose
business it was to encourage treason
and murder soldiers. He was one of
the rankest and vilest of copperheads
that infested Wabash county, and be-

The Widow Teeteris husband had
been dead ouIy 3 few weeks when there
were surface indications that she was
about 70 marry again.
The late Mr.. Teeter had not been ex-
actIv q model husband, and Il was the
general opinion that his death was
stroke Of good fortune for Mrs. Teeter,
but still the relatives OF the deceased
thought that his memory required q
widowhood Of at least a year. When
the indications Of the approaching mar
rage became apparent, some OF her
husbands friends waited on Mrs. Teet-
er, and one of them said:
I'VE hear that you are about to
marry again, LucyAnn."

ALL HOPE ABANDONED.
Young Methodist Minister of Troy
Lost In the Mountains.

KALIsPELL, Mont, Nov. 10.--Rev.
Alex. Burke, the Methodist minister at
Troy, Mont, is lost In the mountains
near that place and all hopes OF finding
him alive have been given up. He
started out hunting last Thursday after
noon In the mountains in search of deer,
being lightly clad and without food or
means of starting a fire, intending to
be gone only short time and fully ex-
pecting to return that evening. When
it was late and he did not return at the
expected time his friends feared that
he had lost his way and party was or
ganized TO search for him. The loco
motive whistles were kept going all
night ana all day in the hopes of his
being in hearing distance and that he
might have something by which to
guide himself.
The searching party discovered his
tracks and he was traced for distance
OF over fifteen miles and at one place
it was found where he had been kneel-
ing and it is presumed that he was in
prayer. During the search the snow
began falling very hard, and in short
time fourteen inches Of snow had fallen,
making Ii impossible TO follow him or
TO do anything further in the way of
search and so the party returned home,
very reluctantly. There is no doubt
that he succumbed to cold and hunger
and all hope OF recovering his body Is
now abandoned until spring, when the
snow goes away. Rev. Burke was a
young man of about "a years and came
out from Chicago about four weeks ago
TO take charge Of the church at Troy.
He was unaccustomed to the noun
tains and was easily bewildered and
lost. The people of Troy have done all
they can aud are very deeply affected In
the loss of SO promising man. The
young man was on charge In Mr..
Stull's district.
