OIL NEWS.

Sistersville, w. Va. May 25.-Tha
Dye pool in Washington county, Ohio,
Just opposite Raven Rock, w. Va,
twelve miles below this city, is credited
TO Stewart & Co., who got a 15-barrel
per hour well Sunday afternoon. The
first reports were that the well was
making So barrels per hour, but the
Register correspondent has it from a
very reliable source that the we'll will
only make Is barrels per hour. This
is the best strike ever made in that field,
although there are several small pro-
ducing wells in close proximity.
There is considerable territory in the
immediate vicinity that as yet remains
undeveloped, but the parties having the
lease there will commence at once to put
down some wells. This we'll is on
Sheets Run.
The Carter Oil Company are pulling
the casing from their well just back of
.he depot and will commence spudding
at their new location just above Rus
sells planning mill about Wednesday.
They also have the rig material on the
ground for we'll near their stables on
the South Side.
The South Penn Oil Company are
busy piping their wells in the Wick
field.
The we'll of G. B Slemaker ct al, on
Cole Lick, is drilling at about 500
feet.
Shay & McMullen's Dan Weekly No.
4, out on Indian Creek, came in at two
o'clock this afternoon and is flowing at
the rate of 20 barrels per hour. This
company have been very lucky in get-
ting some good producers on the Weekly
farms lately and if they continue in
good luck will soon be one of the fore
most producers of this field.

REAL MEAN. INDEED.

Chauncey Depew is being approvingly
quoted by all the Mckinley organs as
considering it a shame and an Outrage
that McKinley's enemies" should per-
sist in questioning him as to MS cur
rency views and commenting on his
dense silence. Mr.. Depw thinks Nc
Kinley is right in saying nothing and
allowing his record to speak for him.
Now that is just the trouble. McKin-
ley's record is anything and everything
on this QUESTION He has been on all
sides Of the currency question and
while he has advocated sound money"
he has voted for free coinage in Con-
gress. What the business interests Of
the country want TO know is where Nc
kinney stands at present on this all
important issue. And Mckinley de-
clines TO say. while Hanna distributes
the free silver end of McKinley's record
in the West and the sound money end
in the East.
OF course, it's a shame for the bust
ness community to want TO know YOU
know. and TO persist in disturbing the
Ohio Nap0leon's sweet and silent dr. am
OF the White House with their rude
and pointed questions. No wonder
Chauncey and she ogaas think it is real
mean kind Of work In fact. it is cal
culated to play smash with the McKin-
ley boom.

! GREAT STEEL PLANT REopENED.

4 GREAT STEEL PLANT REOPENED.
The immense plant known as tho
North Chicago Rolling Mills, which has
been idle since 1898, has, according TO
the Chicago Chronicle, been put in per-
feet repair. has been reinforced by new
machinery anI will be started up in a
few days. The works Will manufacture
structural steel Of all descriptions, in
GLIDING beams, columns, girders, braces
and all tn metal parts CT steel frame
buildings. At least 100 tons Of struot-
ural material will be turned out each
day.
L appears that the great manufact-
uring establishments that were closed
during the Sherman silver and McKin-
ley tariff panic Of 1893 will racommence
business without waiting for McKinley's
election and two years of time after
ward 20 elapse before a new tariff can
be passed in Congress. An immenst
steel manufacturing establishment that
has been closed three years will be re-
opened, employing several hundred or
a thousand men. with daily products
worth many thousands of dollars in
value.
A high tariff organ in commenting
on some adverse bank statement says:
The unsatisfactory figures Of this year
are inevitable in view Of the evident de-
crease in opportunities for employment
and the lessened activity in manufact-
uring and building. The causes of this
unhappy condition of affairs are two
fold. Ona of them is the inadequacy Of
the protection given by the present tar
if, which benefits Europe at the ex-
pense of America" The statement is
fallacious and is inspired by either gross
parcisanship or gross ignorance.
The facts contradict the fallacy. All
manufacturing industries are prosper
Gus. Instead OF 'lessened activity in
manufacturing and building" here is a
plant for the manufacture of building
material on vast scale to be plaead in
immediate operation. The busy hum Of
industry is to be revived in populous
section of Chicago where it has been
silent for years. Similar rsvivais are
reported in many other sections.
II is evident from this and many 9th
er signs that the re-establishment of
NLcKinleyism is not necessary to the re-
newal of industrial prosperity and the
employment OF labor.

mora space than we have 70 spare. I'VE
will take those prominently brought
forward fer the gubwnstorial nomina-
ton. beginning with Judge Bennett, OF
Lewis. whom the Democracy Of the
Mountain State have long hankered
na5-r with desire to honor by exciting
him to che highest office in their gilt.
Judge Bennett would probably have his
competitors distanced to-day but for the
uncertairsy as to whether he would ac-
cept che nomination and ths inactivity
Of chose nearest him, who would have
his candidacy in charge if he desired to
make the canvass.
Gen. Watts is another VINO stands OK
ceeding high in tha favor of Dame De-
mccracy, who is at present casting
sleeps eyes at the handsome and brill
tant General in a mo5s significant man
mr.. Gen. Watts is one of the ablest
msn in the State, a sterling Democrat
who has always been loyal to the cause
of the people and man CT high olarac-
ter and clean record. He would mako
a firm. abb. and honorable executive.
Another distinguished candidate
whom his friends have been ardently
pushing to the front is the Hon. Clar-
ence L. Smith, CT Marion. Mr. Smith
is loyal Democrat who deserves we'll
a. th1 hands Of his party, which he has
always faithfully served. He is gen.
tleman Of high character possessed of
a fund Of common sense and a wide
knowledge of The State and its needs.
Nj. Smith would fill thu office of Gov
ernor with dignity and ability.
Hon. l. C. Ralphsnydsr, Of Preston,
is an0ther sterling Democrat who has
risen rapidly into favor in connection
with the gubernatorial nomination. Mr..
Ralphsnyder was a candidate for Su-
pe-intendent of Schools in 1884. lie is
a young lawyer OF ability and standing.
He would make a popular candidate and
capable official.
Ii is interesting and instructive to OBJ
serve the difference between the DEM
ocrats and the Republicans in thsir at
dudes regarding the coming State cam
p3ign. In tAe Democratic party, as
usual. the contest is open and free for
all. The candidates are numerous and
hustling and it is anybody's battle at
present. and probably will be until the
convention shall have finally named
the ticket. In the Republican party,
on the other hand, the ring is running
the only candidate in the fiGd. No 9th
err need apply, or, if they do apply, are
promptly turned down. And the rank
and file Of the Republican party seem
satisfied to let il go at that. No cna
seems 10 be at all anxious for the honor
of bearing the g. o. p. standard in the
coming fight, and heretofore aspiring
Republican statesmen seem to he we'll
satisfied 10 let the ring run things this
year and hold the bag after it is all
over. for the Neutrality-suspicious. ring
which pulls the wires from Ohio county,
is not popular among the rank and file
Of the Republicans, and its defeat will
not deluge the State with Republican
tears.
All Of which signifies that while the
Democrats are alert and exceedingly
confident of success, the Republicans
are apathetic, listless, dubious Of sue
cess and quite content to let the greedy
ring shoulder the burden of the fight.
