Parker5burg, W. Va, July IA well
has been located on the John Henderson,
farm at Laurel and Inglefield. The well
adjoins the Richardson farm. and the
lease was in dispute between several OPP
orators for some time.
There was considerable excitement
here to-day over the reports that came
from the we'll on the Richard Marsh
farm, on the banks of the Kanawha
near Lock No. /, which was drilled in
about year ago by a company compos-
ed of Parkersburgers. When the drill
reached the sand there was a bad cave
and the we'll Gas abandoned. However,
a small stream of oil has flowed con-
stantly from the top of the well. Marsh,
the owner of the farm, came in this
morning and reported that the well
broke loose tilis morning. The plug was
blown out and this was followed by a
heavy flow OF oil, which was thrown
half way to the top of the derrick. This
was corroborated by others, and crowd
of people drove out to the well this al
ternoon 10 see for themselves.

Life Win the Circus.

Walking along the streets one day in
town where we were showing" said a re-
tired circus man, according to the New
York Sun, "the old man saw in a laundry
window a sign reading Collars and cuffs 2
cents
{" DO you take any kind of collars at
that price, he asked the laundryman.
Yes, Oh yes said the laundryman;
everything goes here
we had a giraffe at the time that we
used to dress up for the evening parade
in sort of a dude costume with q high
collar reaching from its shoulders up to
under his head. The old man got one of
10 the laundry to be done up. When the
laundryman opened the bundle and spread
tt out on the counter he says, What S
this? and the man that had brought it
down said that il was one Of the giraffe S
collars.
by gosh! that's So said the laundry
man just as thought CRATES collars used
to be common item Of the wash in his
laundry, but he hadn't had very many
come in lately and they'd kind o escaped

asked when 1t would be ready, and at )
done up in roll about as big as a stove
pipe
Two cents said the laundryman, and
he swept the two cents off the counter in
to the drawer without turning hair; he
was game plumb through.
But the old man was no chump; he sent
the laundryman dollar, which was about
what the work was worth, and a couple of
complimentary tickets. That night the
laundryman came to the circus. He was
just as cool ever but you could see
that he was pleased, easy enough, when

We are sure that the appeal of the peo-
pie Of East St Louis for aid will be re-
sponded to literally in all parts of the
country. The people of st. Louis are prob
ably able to take care of their own I'M
fortunates without assistance, the number
of sufferers there being comparatively
small in proportion to the whole popua-
ton. In East ST. Louis. however, the peo-
pie are, as a rule, wage-earners. and the
burden which Wednesdays disaster plac-
ed upon them is a very heavy one.
1t was thought that the first reports of
the destruction wrought by the cyclones
there were two of them. it appears
were greatly exaggerated. The latest re-
ports bear out pretty fully the original
| estimates as to the loss of life, and show
that the loss of property was far greater
than it was believed to be Immediately af-
ter the storm. The dead in St. Louis, East
St. Louis and the adjacent country that
have been identified number three hun
bred and twenty-three, and the wounded
| several times as many. When the full
list of dead is made out it will show prob
ably that there were not far from five
hundred killed. That is fearfully large
number to be stricken down without
warning, and within few minutes time.
AS to the loss of property, that was ire
mendous. The mayor of St. Louis, after
a tour of inspection, estimates the loss of
property in st. Louis, and East st. Louis,
at $20,O00OOO. This estimate does not in
| clude the damage done to shipping.
| 1t is difficult for those who do not live
| in the section of fearful wind storms to
realize the destructive power of such
storms. Along the coast we have a great
storm once in a while accompanied by very
! high wind, but the greater part of the
| damage that is done, is done, as general
thing, by the rising sea. The cyclones of
| the west move with such Irresistible force
that they level everything in their path
This spring has been a notable season
in the west for cyclones. They have sue
ceeded one another quickly and have beer
| remarkably severe. They have killed a
thousand people, probably, and injured
several thousand others. No safe esti
mate of the amount of property they
have destroyed can be given. 1t is sincere
ly to be hoped that the season for them i.

The River and Harbor Bill Veto

II was very generally expected that the
President would veto the river and har-
Dor bin. HIS message therefore express
ing his disapproval OF the bin causes no
surprise. II we are not mistaken he
has never signed river and harbOr bill.
but he has permitted one or more OF
such bills to become laws without his
signature.
1t must be admitted that some Of the
good ones. II is absolutely impossible
however. 10 pass a river and harb0r bill
without permitting objectionable items
getting into il. Demands come from near
ly every part of the country for appro-
priatiOns for the improvement Of rivers
and harbOrs. The representative from the
interested sections insist that what they
regard as the interests Of their constit-
uents shall he given proper consideration.
II they do not get what they ask for
they refuse to vote for the bill Without
their help no river and 'harbor bill could
be passed.
The President knows. or ought to know,
influenced in their legislative action by
what is absolutely right and for the well
fare of the whole country. They do what
they think their districts want done. If
a congressman's district calls for an ap-
preparation to deepen a river which, II
deepened. would be of no advantage what
ever to commerce, he insists upon an ap-
preparation for the river. And there are
many of such congressman, so many that
they have the power TO say whether or
not there shall be any appropriations
for rivers and harbors.
What will be the fate Of the river and
harbor bill? Nobody can say with GER
tainty. An effort will be made to pass it
over the Presidents veto. The effort
may succeed. It would succeed beyond
doubt if the republicans were not trying
to keep down appropriations with the
view of making a record for economy for
use in the campaign. There are some con-
gressmen also who think every effort
should be made in the direction of econ
omy because Of the deficiency in the rev
enues Still, so many congressman are
interested in the bill. and there are so
many really meritorious items in it. that
it would not be at all surprising if it
should be easily passed over the veto
1t is highly important to Savannah that
