IN rne OIL Fields.

Sistersville, March est is reported
that the Kanawha Oil Co.'S No. on
the Anthony Smith farm out near
Wick is making about 100 barrels u
day since it was shot The South Penn
oil company has. commenced drilling at
their No. in the Stealy lease. No. 2
is making about 500 barrels day.
1t is reported here this afternoon
that the we'll drilled by Hannah Bros.
on the Halon farm about nine miles
west of New Matamoras, Ohio was
making between so and 60 barrels a
day. However, this report could not be
confirmed This is a very important
wild cat well, the first ever drilled into
the Big Injun sand in that section.
Shay and McMullen drilled in their
No. on the j. b. Smith farm out in
Doddridge county, $50 feet west of the
Kanawha Oil company's No. So Hard
man, and have good, big well. This
well flows every hour regularly, and
will make a big producer. Its close
proximity to the Hardman well makes
it q sort of freak. The Hardman well
drilled in some time ago and has never
made more than five barrels a day.

WHEN REPTILES RULED.
There Was a Time When the Globe Was
in Their POSSESSION.


There was a time Sin the wide revolv-
ing shades of centuries past when the
globe was wholly in the possession of
walking, swimming and flying rep
tiles" says an exchange. Being the
dominant type, they divided naturally
into three great classes.
In the oceans they became gigantic,
padding enaliosaurians; ON dry land
or, rather, wet land, for the whole sur
face of the globe was doubtless a quag-
mire at that time-they became mon
strous, erect dinosaurians, some of
which had legs Is feet or more in
length.
Those which inhabited the regions of
the air were the terrible flying ptero-
dactyls. For vast but unknown
length of time these awful creatures
literally ruled the earth Then one by
one they died out in the face of the
younger and more vigorous fauna until
at the present time only a few miniature
alligators and crocodles, a few toy
snakes and skulking lizards and geckos
remain as reminders of the enormous
reptilian types that once crowded land
Ipnd sea.

THE wILLIAMsTowN FIELD.

March 25th, Owing to the inclement
weather work has been almost sus-
pended in the oil field. The roads are
almost impossible.
The McTaggart Oil Co., have ar
ranged to drill their Henderson No. 1
to the Berea grit and work has already
commenced.
Wilson Brothers are pulling the cas-
ing from the deep well on Lemuel
Athey land and are moving the ma
terial to new location on the same
farm, where they will drill we'll to
the Cow Run sand.
G. S. Reed * Co. have plugged hole
at their No. 2 and are moving the der
rick to start new hole.
The rig is up and the contract let to
drill well on the Thomas Ashby farm
by the same company that drilled a
dry hole on this farm about two years
ago.
The wells started on Big Run near
the Benson Athey well, are progress
ing very slowly, but the active leasing
being done shows faith in this section,
and more wells will be drilled as soon
as the weather will permit.

The Modern Flat Building.

"You know, it's old enough and fa-
miliar enough" said a fiat dweller,
"but it's striking all the same, to hear
the whistle blow in the kitchen, from
somebody in the cellar at the elevator.
and may be at the same time TO hear
the bell ring from somebody at The
front door. The servant throws up the
door TO the elevator shaft, to be ready
to receive the things that the man is
sending up from below, and she swings
around and presses the button and
opens door far away and in still an
other part of the house. AL simple
enough. but it interests me all tbs
same. It seems sort of like running
the steamer from the bridge; or like
throwing the levers in the switch house
and controlling switches far away; st
seems Like business; it's modern and up
to dnte.o

ST. MARYS.

In the Broad Run field one well has
been drilled in by Haskill & Ballard
this week on the Cornell lease, and is
good producer. They are also getting
the rigs up for wells on Isaac Pethtle
and Joseph Pethtle.
Mallory Bros Hamilton No. 2 on
Whiskey Run has the first pay sand,
and will probab bly, get the second today.
We are informed that it will be fair
ly good well.
The we'll on the Jackson farm at
Vaucluse has been shot and tubed for
pumping, and will make ten barrels
per day at least. 1t is reported that
the owners will put down another we'll
at once. The oil was got in the big
Injup."
The Barnsdall we'll on Rock Run be-
gun drilling on Thursday. Oil men
generally think this will be u good
we'll, as it lines up pretty we'll with
the Whiskey Run and Sugar Creek
wells.
The R. S. Reynolds well on Middle
Island is pumping about ten barrels
per day out of the lower Cow Run sand.
The stuff is being got out for Dr.
Gales No. 2 on c. w. Bills, and the rig
will probably go up shortly.
Fraser Bros. are getting their rig up
for drilling well on the c. w. Bailey
farm on Middle Island Creek.
We are informed that the Shingleton
well near Hebron is still keeping up it's
production.
Several more rigs are going up in the
vicinity of the Singleton we'll, and
that territory will soon be pretty
thoroughly tested.
Capt. Mclaughlin has the rig com
pleted for well on the Rodney Rey-
nolds lease on Long Run. Drilling
will probably begin in a few days.

THE result of the mass convention in
Morgan county Saturday, whereby
Hon. I. f. Davis gets the solid delega-
ton from that county. was a surprise
throughout the district, though highly
gratifying to Mr.. Davis and his friends.
This gives him "a votes to start with
and the Washington county men are
jubilant. VanVoorhis has Muskingum
solid, Taylor has Guernsey, and the
fight is open. The indications are that
the convention will be hot one. Mr..
Davis chances are excellent and his
delegation will stand by him all sum-
mer if necessary.

Another Gard From Col. Riley.

EDITOR LEADER:
The "City Editor" of the Register, in
Fridays issue is frank and honest
enough to admit that he agreed to pub
lish the letter referred to, but pleads
the "baby act" by saying that his Pap
put his veto on it.
Now this was creditable to the young
man, but he spoils the effect by under
taking to give an excuse for the veto
by saying that the letter was not pub
lished because it was not signed. No
reader of that excuse believes the
statement! The writer of this line
would try to believe it if the Senior Edi-
tor had not said that the letter was not
used because he, the Senior, did not like
it. This statement was accepted as
true, the ''airing" the City Editor
gives himself and his statement to the
contrary notwithstanding.
The people care nothing about new
rules for correspondence, nor personal
affairs, but they are anxious for
electric cars, and do not understand
why early action cannot be taken. so
that the good work may commence
with the opening of spring.

Speaker Reeds supporters are begin
ming to display much activity in push
ing his claims for the Presidential
nomination, and they are predicting
that he will shortly demonstrate an
amount of strength that will be sur
prising to some people. AS a rule the
Speakers friends seem to think the
nomination will not be settled until a
number of ballots are taken by the
convention, and they are counting up
on his staying powers to win. Gov.
McKinley's supporters express conf
dence that he will win inside of three
ballots, while the friends of each of
the other candidates hope for dead
lock between Reed and Mckinley to
give their man chance to- win. 1t is
getting very interesting. S.

Senator Sherman must have chuckled
when the Senator'S who showed dis
position to keep up the talk on the
Cuba resolutions indefinitely in order
to prevent vote suggested to him
their willingness to support motion
to send the resolutions back to confer
ence. OF course he promptly accepted
the suggestion, made the motion and
the resolutions went back to confer
ence. Senator Sherman is too expert
enced parliamentarian not to have
recognized the victory thus won over
the Instructors He knew that the
conference committee had only to re-
port in favor of the original Senate
resolutions and the House to accept
that report to close the incident with
out giving the Senators who had been
talking against the resolutions any
further chance at them. And after all
the difference between the House reso-
lutions and the Senate resolutions con-
sists mostly of phraseology.

At Her Loom.

While the water crosses slumber,
While the birds are few in number,
Spring is busy at her loom,
Weaving for the time of bloom;
For the trees, a bright green awning,
For the time of vernal dawning;
With warp Of living green,
With weft of fiOwery sheen,
Bright the wreaths to deck her pillow
Hanging from the oak and willow
Soon her robes of living green
In their beauty will be seen.
Watch the swiftness of her fingers
Weaving, where the sunlight fingers
In the messy meadow nook,
BY the gently purling brook.
Soon We'll see the sweet unwilling
OF the pink arbutus trailing;
Then the snowdrops will peep up
And the yellow buttercup-
When the days are soft and hazy-
Smile beside the nodding daisy,
And her shuttle she will ply
Meath a sunny, azure sky,
Till her welt and warp she closes
With the blooming Of the roses.
