able book must be foregone. Beguilded
by the beauties of the ever lifting hori-
zon of this unparalleled panorama of the
world, have extended this review far
beyond my intentions, and still the in
clination is strong upon me to say more
in praise of it. At any rate, there is one
thing of which / am assured-whoever
reads part of it will read it all and
will then see how very few of its many
virtues have been able to set forth.

OIL, NEWS.
A BIG SUIT FOR OIL.

The Moundsville Echo says: A very
interesting law suit and one which in
wolves some valuable property has
grown out OF the oil developments out
on Little creek. The history Of the case
in brief is that in 1895 D. A. Dorsey,
J. R. Johnston, S. A. Johnston ard NJ.
X. Armstrong leased up block OF and
for oil purposes on and about Little
Grave creek. Among the leases were
the famous Rogerson and Griffith farms.
The leases. were taken in the name Of
s A. Johnston ard NJ. K. Armstrong,
who afterward assigned over to d. A.
Dorsey and ]. R. Johnston the one-half
o. all the land included in the block Of
leases. Afterward S. A. Johnston and
NJ X. Armstrong made another assign
mer,t of their interests TO George n.
Jones. who. on the same cay, assigned
the interests to the North Penn Oil Com
pany.
Jones had notice OF tire previous as
sisnment TO Dorsey & Johnston.
TIE North Penn Company went ahead
and developed the territory by bringing
in The big producer en- the RcgeTSon
farm.
Now Johnston & Dorsey have brought
suit against the North Penn Company
to recover their interest in the R0gersOn
and Griffith oil properties.
The Plaintiffs have made application
for the appointment CT a receiver, which
will come up for hearing on Tuesday, the
14th.

BASE BALL BRIEFS.

Either Garvey or Campbell will do the
twirlinIg in this afternoons game.
Spade will probably pitch for Youngs-
town.
The games at Toledo yesterday were
transferred TO that city from Jackson,
on account of the better Sunday attend
ance in Toledo.
If any visiting pitcher is TO defeat
Wheeling on the home grounds, the
local fans" would like to see the honor
fall to Irwin Brodie. He has a host OF
admirers here.
Jackson's two victories over Toledo
makes wheeling again lied for second
place If both teams win Monday ana
Tuesday. Wheeling will finish in second
place with a margin OF several points.
President Power, when in the city
last week, stated that there is a like
lihood that the local management viii

league club for one of the home play

Shields seldom makes an error. He
is a fast and sure fielder. and one OF

DISCRIMINATING CAT.
Recognized it's Former Owner After Ten
Years of Separation.

Years OF separation.
NV predecessor at HOLSTER, Rev. w
NJ. Winters, had a very fine cat, OF
which, With his well known kindly ma
ture. he made a pet. At the conference
of 1886 he vas removed to Salinas, leav-
ing the cat. 1t would not, however,
fraternize with the newcomers at tne
parsonage, but at once took up his
abode at house on the next block. l.
occasionally looked into thu back yard
but never once entered the house. =
month since Brother Winters called or
his way to conference, aud stayed over
night.

prised to find the cat on the back porch

Winters came into the room it ran to-
ward him pvrring merriiy with most
manifest pleasure. Has be forgotten

Winters, pretending to hit hin, wht 7
the cat atonce sat back on his nauncles
and struck out his paw, blow for blow
in scientific style.
Is ormer kind master left by The
early train; the cat returned at once t
it's adopted home, and has never beer
near the parsonage since. Brothe
Winters said he believed he heard tina

AN ENCHANTED BED.
Which Takes Up Its Occupant and Car
ries Her Along.

Which Takes Up It's Occupant and Car
ries Her Along.
A queer story, says a Paris letter,
about an enchanted bed" comes from
lCreusot, the inhabitants of which are in
a condition Of great excitment over the
affair. while the priests, who are com
petely mystifed, have dispatched a
mission" for the purpose of holding an
investigation and gronouncing an opin-
ion in the matter. AS usual, it is girl
who is the cause of all the wonder. In
The present instance she has only seen
II summers and dwells in a howell with
her parents. AS might be expected she
is described as being OF an exceedingly
nervous temperament. At night this
maid is subject to fits of hysteria, by
which, as the tale goes her couch Is af-
fected. BY some curious sympathy it is
said to bound along the floor, overcom-
ing the resistance of anyone who may
endeavor 10 check il in IFS wild career.
AS an instance Of the power OF this phe-
nomenal agency, Il is asserted that while
the bed was on the move with its occu-
pant the latter was tightly held by a
neighbor, 10 prevent her giving il any
impetus, but that all the samo couch pur-
sued the uneven tenor OF its way without
let or hindrance. On another occasion
an athlete volunteered to keep the bed
within due bounds, but, although he
struggled manfully, it hurried on like
a runaway horse" dragging him with it.
On the other hand 1t is averred thai
when the damsels father or mother seek
to repose on the couch it COMFORTS Itself
like other beds, and INDUCES in no &C.
centrities. Large crowds from the sur
rounding country are visiting the scene
OF these alleged occurrences.

TROUBLE AT. JUMPERS.

Free Press, had muscle enough to have

Mrs. Juniper went out one afternoon
and said to the new girl before starting:

Half an hour la.er Mr.. Juniper arrived,

She grabbed Juniper, and when po-
liceman separated them ten minutes later
Juniper had got good deal the worst OF
it, and was screeching for help. Julia
went into the house to pack her trunk.
"Oi couldn't be hoired to live in de

said, shaking her brawny fist at Jumper

Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont, in her
story of THE Guard body of young

tells a pathetic little story OF a dumb
beast who also was loyal and courage
Gus.
While the guard-a body OF cavalry
was drilling one day near st. Louis, a
little fox terrier followed one Of the
men. Herr Visa, Hungarian officer,
going with him to camp. He could not
be driven away.
The men all made pet Of him and
named him the Corporal" but, though
he was affable 20 dhsm all, he made
the Hungarian soldier his companion
and friend, sleeping at his feet at night
and following him by day.
Wh;sn the guard made their memoir
able charge at Springfield, Mo-, the
Corporal" charged with them, keeping
beside his masters horse throughout
the battle Herr Visa was wounded
and fell apparently dead in a thicket.
TIE corps swept past, his horse fled,
wild with terror, but the little Cor

his face and trying to rouse him.
There ths dog remained through the
bitter cold night. When morning came
he ran to the distant road, and by his
frantic banks and cries induced pass
erby to enter the thicket-
The man seeing only a cold, stiff body
supposed the soldier to be dead and
would have hurried on, but the Cor
poral" furiously drove him back and
would not be silenced until he saw his
master move and speak, when he
crouched, dumb and ccntented, at his

A GREAT SERVICE.

The arrangements last week for a
bulletin service in connection with the
Chicago convention were perfect, and
the result was most satisfactory to the
local morning papers and through them
to the general public. The news Of the
nomination of Bryan was known in the
Wheeling Western Union Office in ten
seconds, and both the Register and
Intelligencer were apprized by tele-
phone. which had been kept open for
that purpose, the fact thus being known
in advance of the regular typewriter
bulletin. The service reflects credit up
on Manager Tracey and the Western
Union.

Around the world In Thirty Days.

Perhaps you've never read Jules Vernes thrilling story Around the World In Eighty Days" When it was written, the author thought he was tell ing very big story, indeed, and so did every one else. The idea, said his read CTS, of travelling 20, 900 miles in 50 daysl Preposterousl
 But since then many travellers have made the trip in less time, and within the next four years any boy or girl will be able to make it ill 30 days. For in the year 1900 the Russians will com plete their famous Transsiberian rail road, which connects Europe with the Pacific coast of Asia. Starting from New York; the tr,veler may then cross the Atlantic ocean to the coast of Franco. Here he may take train which will whirl him over Europe and Asia and put him down at Pacific port. From this point he may ship to San Francisco and catch train for New York. It is calculated that the fare for the trip will not be more than $500 or $400.
 If this railroad building keeps on, there will soon be no parts of the world left for our boys to explore. Chicago Record

Kokomo, Ind, is the home of a man to whom life insurance would be wanton prodigality. Two years ago Alfred Cot tinghan, a teamster, was thrown from his wagon and load of heading blocks fell on him, breaking his neck, the spinal cord being completely severed. The doctors declared he could not sur' yive 24 hours, but he was well in a few weeks and resumed his daily labor. This week Mir.

The Famous Senator Had to Ring to Gel
 In His Own House.
 Senator German is man of such regular and exemplary habits, and so seldom leaves his residence after his dinner, that he is not in the habit of even carrying night key. AS rule, he is i'll bed before 10 o'clock. Not long ago he went out after dinner, expecting to be gone only all hour at the outside He was detained, and did not return until Il 80 o'clock.
 On reaching his house he found 1t shut up, all the lights out, and all the members of the household ill their rooms. He was forced to ring his opn doorbell. The servant came to the door grumbling, and thinking of course that the senator had long before gone to the land of Nod, made up his mind that if any one wanted to see Mr German he would tell him it was impossible. On opening the outer door he was greatly surprised to find that it was the senator himself who was ringing the bell at that, for him, unseemly hour. New York Sun.
