viii Soon Take Place In the Penitentiary
Management,
The following appears as special
dispatch in the Cincinnati Enquirer:
Columbus, O., March IL. 1t is under
stood that within the next 10 days
Governor Bushnell will begin the long
talked of reorganization of the peni-
tentiary. Those who claim to know
say that the first change will be made
in connection with the membership of
Colonel j. H. Brigham, of Fulton
county, in the Board of Managers.
Colonel Brigham's term will expire
March 81. 1t is said that he will not
be reappointed, but that Colonel l. r.
Rose, of Washington county, will re-
ceive the honor. Manning Rose, a
brother of I. R., is now member of
the Board of Pardons. and the public
may be inclined to think, in view Of
this, that ''a Rose by any other name
would smell as sweet"
1t is pretty generally understood in
official circles that e. G. Coffin, who
was Warden under Governor Foraker,
will be appointed to that position, and
that Eli West, now Secretary Of the
State Sinking Fund Commission, will
be made Steward. Malcolm Jennings,
of Columbus, is said to be slated for
the position to be made vacant bv Mr..
West. Colonel c. c. James, the pres
ent Warden, is a receptive" candi-
date for reappointment In fact, it is
said that his receptive qualifications
are of such a nature as to keep him
awake nights.

THE Congressional convention goes
to GAINESVILLE, though it could have
been secured for Marietta with slight
effort in Committee. Our claims were
conceded throughout the district, and,
in fact, the Muskingum county men
especially had expected to come here.
However, commercial interests must, 1T
seems, wait on politics, and we will
live in hopes till two wears hence.

IN the OIL FIELDS.

Sistersville, W. Va, March 12.-It is
understood that the Carter on Company
have made couple of locations on the
Williamson farm north Of the city and
will erect rigs at once.
The rig timbers, ETC.. are being haul
ed to the location made by M. s. Wilson
on the W.P. Hays farm. and they will
| likely be ready to commence drilling
about the first of next week. This we'll
will be located on the West Virginia
side about opposite of the, center of
Mill Creek Island.
Once more the heart of the oil man
has been made glad by the advance in
the price of credit balances. The hap
py event took place about noon today,
and oil is now quoted at the pipe line
office at s135. 1t is to be hoped that
this condition of affairs will continue
and that the price of oil willccontfnue
to go up, notify two cent jumps. but
by ten and twenty cents. rDhe higher
the price goes the more work will be
started and the more new rterritory
opened up or condemned. tM
The Devonian Oil Company is making
preparations to put their No. 2 on the
Kyle, drilled in last week, to pumping,
and it is being rugged up now. 1t will
be tubed with three-inch tubing and is
expected to make good big producer.
The same company's No. on the
Spencer farm. which was started spud-
ding the early part of the week, is
drilling at about 800 feet.
The Victor Oil Company's No. on
the Weekly farm out on Indian creek
which was started spudding the first of
the week, is down about 800 feet.
The we'll out on Indian creek, which
is nearest the pay, is that of the South
Penn Oil Company on the Jackman
farm. The indications are, however,
that it will not reach the pay for some
days yet, as it has bad fishing job.
Should the tools be recovered at once
it would only take couple of days to
drill it in.
The Paova Oil Company's No. Gray,
near Bradden Station, in the Big Flint
district, is gassing strong from the first
pay and shut down to move back the
boiler. 1t will be drilled in some time
to-day.
A ten-barrel well is the result of
Williamson g. Co.'S venture on Middle
Island. The oil was developed in the
Cow Run sand.
Yates & Co.'S we'll on the Athey farm,
on Big run, is a producer of some kind,
but its caliber is in doubt. The gas
pressure is not strong enough to make
it flow and it has been put to pumping.
Shay g. McMullin's No. / on the
Weekly farm, was reported this morn
ing to be making about 35 barrels an
hour. The other big wells out there
are still doing about 80 barrels an hour.
They have struck oil at Armstrong;
Mills. One of the shallow wells put
down by James Kinney reached the
greasy fluid the other day at the depth
of 9S feet and the hole quickly filled
up and oYerfowed 1t was stopped
and arrangements are being made to
run it into tank. If the oil found at
this depth holds out there will be in
