equitable though II seems. did not
meet with favor anywhere. The fact
OF the matter is, neither Russia nor
England desires the establishment of
semi-independent governments, both
wishing to secure possession of Con-
stantinople and the Dosphorus.
England might be induced to acqui-
esce in Russia's grab game. provided
she could secure the Turkish islands
in the archipelago and one or two
provinces in Asia Minor. In the event
, of such settlement Austria would
claim Montenegro and Scutari, the pos
session of which provinces would di-
vide the control of the Adl'iatic SEQ be-
tween Italy and herself. Discussion
about Macedonia might he avoided by
adding it to the kingdom of Greece,
to which it really belongs. Germany
would not interfere with such an ar
rangement, provided, the kingdom of
Roumania, which is under it's special
protection, would be permitted to re-
inain intact. Servih, at present an in-
dependent kingdom, would continue
to eNist-a buffer state between Austria
and Bulgaria. The latter principality
would remain independent nominally,
although it is, even now, virtually n
Russian province. Prince Ferdinand,
the cowardly clown who has for some
years been posing as the ruler of Bull
garia, would be ousted sans ceremony
and his place filled by Prince Charles
of Denmark, who is soon to marry
melia, now II semi-independent Turkish
province, would be absorbed by Russia.
The division Of European Turkey as
here outlined would please everybody
outside of the foreign officesat the differ
ent capitals Of Europe; and when di-
vision is made finally it must be made

IN the OIL FIELDS.

The failure of the Messrs. Matson
to get oil in Lewis district does not
surprise some. While the forecasting
of the location of oil pockets, foun'
tains or reservoirs has not become as
certain as fore telling OF the DISPOSE
tion of case by jury, vet, If oil lies
in lines or belts, two chances obtain
in the neighborhood of the "H. Russell
well" on Thos. Fowlers farm in Wag-
gener district. First this well is on
the Rochester, Bradford, Sistersyille
and Big Sandy 45 deg. line; second, it
is on the Lima, o., line. The inter-
section of these two lines occurs accord
ing to actual and recorded survey at a
point in the neighborhood of Locust
Grove school house.
Those having the development of
oil territory should Examine this loca-
rtion, test the iqualityEof oil in the III.
Russell, well" and proceed to deepen'it,
at least to 5000 feet. PIT. Pleasant

Sidwell lot On which |. II. Neuland &
Co., Martins Ferry, have put up a rig
and which adjoins the Starbuck farm,
where the first we'll in the field came
in. Wells about ready to come in are
the Parker, near Martins Ferry, Jacob

IN TENNESSEE.

Chattanooga, Jan. 20 Great excite
ment prevails IN the newly discovered
oil fields in Fentress, Wagner and Over
ton Counties, tributary to the Cincin-
natl Southern Railroad
a dispatch from Allardt says that
the Wiser Brothers have drilled in
twelve-hundred-b barrell gusher for the
Southern Oil Company, of Pennsylvan-
ia. With the casing head only partly
down they filled a fifty-barrel tank in
one hour.
AT this juncture the gas caugh fire
destroying tank and engine house.
The production is estimated at 1900
barrels for "a hours. This is the larg-
est producing well ever drilled in Ten
nessee. The oil and gas flow was at
tanned at 275 feet.
The Standard Oil Company is largely
interested, and it is understood that
s5, 000,O capital from that and other
sources has been iayested.

SIsTERsvILLE, Dec. 21,-Wilson &
Harper Oil Company have taken up
lafge block of leases on Elk Fork and
Ten Mile creeks east of town from 10
to Is miles and north of the Kyle well
some or miles, and will commence Il
we'll in a few days. The we'll is located
and will be drilled on the Homer L.
Bowser farm. This well is being drill
ed on the theory that somewhere be-
tween this field and the Wetzel county
and Warrington fields there is con-
Meeting link, or as some oil producers
say, between this field and the others
there will be found a narrow, or suck
er rod" belt running from the one field
to the other, wide at some points and
very narrow at others. The company
will, it is understood give this territory
thorough test before they abandon
it.
Attorney +. L. Blackmarr will go to
Columbus, O., on Thursday to argue
the Monroe county tax cases at that
pldCC oclOIc Vic ou iChS Soui VI Ohio
next Friday. These are the cases in
which the commissioners of Monroe
county undertook to tax oil leases as
real estate, and Judge Sibley SO held;
but TIE circuit court reversed Judge
Sibley's decision and the county Of
ficials appealed to the supreme court.
The courts of last resort in all states
where the question has been adJudi-
Gated have held oil leases to be person
al property, and the same has been,
held by several of the circuit courts of
Ohio.
The Kanawha Oil companys An
thony Smith No. that was plugged,
has been cleaned out and the work OF
lowering the drill will begin today.
The owners think this will prove fully
as good property as the hatteriug
Bullman No. /.
Bullman No 1 is reliably reported to
be making 500 barrels day. The
product from this valuable new find is
the genuine Big Injun green stuff that
ranks high in the market.
Crawford e Treats No. 8, on the
Stewart farm, is an important well
due this week and will probably be in
about Saturday.
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1896-01-22

There is not the least doubt now but
that the well on the Bullman farm out
near Wick has opened up big pool of
Big Injun territory. When the well
was drilled Thursday, an account of
which was published exclusively in
the Review yesterday, it commenced
spraying oil at the rate of about 10
barrels day. Yesterday the well
was drilled little deeper, and she
started off at great rate flowing oil
at 25 barrel an hour gait, which she
kept up last night and the latest report
heard from the well today was that it
was still doing that amount of oil if
not little more. Oil Review.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure in all its stages
and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional dis.
ease, requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces OF
the system, thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The proprietors have
so much faith in its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

ANOTHER SEA SERPENT.-Two fish
ermen r. E. MCLEAN and w. J. Ken
nedy captured marine monster on
Hood Canal near Huma Huma, about
two weeks ago. The fish is seven feet
long, is big around as mans thigh
and looks just like snake, except the
head, which is of the bulldog order.
It has long thin dorsa1 fin running
down the back, and tapers to the tail.
In the water it looks much larger than
it really is, and is probably the species
of animal that brings out the sea SER
pent yarns we read about. The cap
tors fastened hundred foot line
through its gills, and tied it to shore,
frequently hauling it in for inspection.
many people going to see it. The men
have arranged to send it to Prof. Alex
a nder, of the fish commission steamer
Albatross, at Seattle. The professor
says he thinks from the description
that it is a salt water catfish,
and is certainly ferecious look
ing to pass as a sea serpent. Similar
fish have been captured on the Sound.
About eight years ago, on the day
Mrs. David Shelton was buried, one
was captured on the Shelton flats. at
the mouth of the creeks, which was
5H feet long, and it was sent to Olym-
pia az a curiosity.
