IN rHE OIL FIELDS.

Sistersville, w. Va, April Z. Word
was received heue late this evening to
the effect that the Carter Oil Co IS well
on the White farm, reached the sand
this evening and started off at 80 bar
rels an hour.
This we'll is located only short dis
tance northeast of the dry hole recent
ly drilled by the same company on the
Stoneking farm and shows the terri
tory to be spotted, as did the we'll
drilled by Shay s. McMullin ,on the
Smith Hoge tract of land, which was
located near dry hole.
The Wick pool has furnished another
good well, located little to the south
of the wells previously drilled in that
section. 1t belongs to the Kanawha
Oil Company and is about 800 feet south
of the, we'll drilled on the Anthony
Smith farm, and is now doing, better
than twenty barrels an hour bda !.
The Pitts No. /, which was drilled in
by Guffy s. Co. a fewudays ago, siholdr
ing up at -barrel-an-h gait, ac-
cording to information received from
the field late this afternoon.
The same company's No. 2, on the
same farm, is expected to reach the
pay some time this evening. They
have very strong pressure of gas yet,
together with little oil, much the
same showing as No. made at the
same depth.
The Victor Oil Company's well on the
Joseph Spencer farm is making in the
neighborhood of 10 barrels day.
1t is understood here today that the
Harvey Oil Company, of Chicago, have
taken up large block of territory To-
Gated between the Whisky Run pool
and the Cairo oil fields, have made
four locations upon the same and will
commence drilling in the near future.
AS these wells will be over three miles
from defined territory, they will be
watched with considerable interest.
The 6N casing has been put in the
well being drilled by the Mountain
State Gas Company, near the jug
Handle" on Middle Island Creek.
The well drilled by Gartian g. Hays
on the DIR. Clark farm, about six miles
east of this city, will be abandoned
The we'll has been drilled through the
Big Injun sand without even a fair
show of oil and with but little gas. ?

the weather during the past four days

The New Hat Law is Being Generally OBJ
served

The Fosdick law. regulating the
wearing of hats in the theaters, went
into effect last night. There was no
difficulty in any of the local theaters,
and the fair ones who attended the
performances generally observed the
law. Many of them wore opera bon
nets, and most of those--whose head
gear was of such an altitude as might
obstruct the view of those seated be-
hind them, graciously ard considerate-
ly removed their hats. An interesting
little incident took place at the Wal
nut. Three ladies wearing high hats
which were so large as to be noticeable,
took seats in the parquette. They at
once took off their hats, and were ac-
corded rousing applause by the boys in
the gallery, who appreciated the situ-
ation and testified their approval of
the action of the fair ones All the
theaters, with the exception of the
Walnut, had Notices to ladies" in re-
gard to the law, but not in single in
stance was an usher called upon to ask
any woman to remove her hat. None
of the managers anticipate the slight
est trouble in enforcing the law, and
all believe that the women themselves
will aid in its enforcement --[Cin. En-

has been affected and will probably now
feel the reaction. 1t is safe to assert that
employment will be found for the many
hundreds who were kept in enforced idle
ness during the months of agitation and
uncertainty covered by the campaign that
has just closed in manner so satisfactory
to the friends of honesty and purity in
government and in business. The depart
mental employees are not to be placed on
the insecure footing of partisan service,
but stand, before. on the basis of indi-
vidual merit. The great number of home
buyers among them will feel encouraged in
their laudable efforts to provide permanent
places OF abode fer themselves and their
Families and to adjust their personal affairs
upon lines CT ltberality, true economy, fair
dealing and thrift. The outlook today Is
that this election has settled for many
years the question of the permanence of
the merit system. and there is Ettlc fear
that Washington will again be troubled by
such an assault upon its credit and its
prosperity as that which has just been so
vigorously repclled.

The Stnr's Election Service.

The people of the capital have no reason
to complain of the manner in which they
were served with the news of election.
They received the indications pointing to
the triumph of the republicans without a
moments delay. and they were ju5latinS
over the result just as soon as were the
sound money throngs in the other great
centers. The Star contributed more than
its share to this end. Its splendid service
of extra editions bulletin screens and
speaking trumpets was never equalled in
the history of local journalism From the
first moment of darkness until , o'clock
this morning the great canvas screens in
front of the Office were kept ablaZe with
information. Appreciating the fact that
this eleo ton of most vital Importance
to the people. The Star took every precau-
tion and spared no expense to secure full,
accurate ard prompt information, and the
results achieved amply repaid it for its eff
fort. 1t speaks well for the good nature of
the vast throngs in the streets and for the
efficiency of the local police that no acct
delt of any consequence occurred on the
blockaded thoroUghfares, Notwithstanding
the fact that from o'clock until l fully
half the population Of the city was to be
found on in the vicinity of Pennsylva-
ians are, as a rule. orderly and welI-be-
haVed on all such occasions, and main
tanned their regulations for good beha-
vior last night. even under the strain of
the intense enthusiasts that prevailed on
the streets. For the benefit of those who
could not venture down town. The Stars
extras, giving details CT the progress of
the battle, were sent speeding into every
section of the city. and it is safe to say that
by midnight the great majority of the peo-
pie of the District were satisfied that Maj
Mckinley bad been chosen as President of
the United States. Praise is due in this
connection to the various instrumentalties
utilized by The Star in the collection Of its
news. the Associated Press. the Western
Cnion the Postal Telegraph, the Long
distance Telephone, and. above ALL The
Stars special correspondents, chosen with
care for their ability TO make accurate OBJ
