Trying His own Medicine.

The average age of doctors is much
higher than that of any other calling
it is no less than Sc. Their great pull
consists, no doubt, in their opportuni-
ties of observing what treatment is
most efficacious with their patients. A
certain physician is said by James
Payn to have let this particular cat out
of the bag to one to whom he was pay
ing marked attention. 81 am very
much interested in your case" he said,
because I have the same complaint
myself; and if this medicine really does
you good l shall try it."

LATE. OIL NEWS.
Two Berea Wells in New Territory in This
County.

The we'll of the Wolf Creek Oil Com
pany on the C. c. Smith farm was
drilled into the Berea sand and at first
supposed to be dry. In few days a
quantity of oil was found in the hole
and it was decided to shoot the well.
A small shot was put in last Monday
and several barrels bailed out. The
company was dissatisfied with the shot
and larger one was put in Thursday.
The well bridge about 500 feet from the
sand, but good flow of gas was evi-
dent and though the bailer could only
be run half way down the well it
brought up oil at each trial. The well
is beyond question Il small producer.
The sand was reached at depth of
1902 feet. The company owns leases
on large tract in the neighborhood
and has already contracted for drilling
another hole
The well of Longfellow Bros e Co.
on the Widow Rubrake farm in the
Cats Creek development is in and is a
fine producer. 1t is estimated to be
good for so or IS barrels per day. The
same company has another rig build
ing on the Rubrake tract and one on
the Haga adjoining.
A deal was negotiated in this city
Friday whereby Longfellow Bros. dis
pose of their one-half interest in the
Maginness and Irish farms at Macks-
rietta gentlemen. The consideration
is private.

timbers for new we'll on Elk Run in

liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need of Il tonic and Alternative is felt

often averted long and perhaps fatal

THIS COUNTY GETS S5e5.73

by the Supreme Courts Decision in the
Nichols Law Case.
During the years of 1898, 1895 and
1896 the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany refused to pay taxes under the
Nichols law and test case was made.
The Supreme Court recently handed
down an opinion declaring the law to
be. constitutional and the telegraph
company will, therefore, have to pay
the several counties of the state back
taxes amounting to something over
5000. 600.
OF this amount Washington county
gets s595.73, which Auditor Patterson
says he will have put away as a nest
egg for the new court house.

JOHN WANAMAKER was badly beaten
up in Pennsylvania Tuesday in his race
for the Senatorship by Boies Penrose,
who stands in Pennsylvania politics
with Matt. Quay. 1t was considerable
of a walkover, as Penrose won by 133 to

will succeed j. Donald Cameron.
1t is said that Wanamaker will con-
,tinue to haunt Quay in a severe effort
to topple that willy politician from his
pedestal of power. Honest John Will

A little child often not only leads, but
amuses by original descriptions of or

Chronicle: A judges little daughter,
who had attended her fathers court for
the first time, was very much interested
in the proceedings. After her return
home she told her mother: Papa made
q speech, and several other men made
speeches, to 12 men who sat all to-
gether, and then these 12 men were put
in a dark chamber to be developed"

Early Man I'm Europe.

Judging from skeletons found in
Europe, palaeolithio man was short of
stature and had a low retreating fore
head; it is supposed that lie had a yell
lowish skin, which was covered wit h
coarse hair much like the ainu of Yezo.
He was strong in body, but he had the
diminutiye mind of child. Wild and
fierce, he knew little of pity or of love:
he was lower in savagery than any we
know, but he bore the germs of Il bet
ter race; he was only a hunter, living
ON the animals he had slain and the
roots and nuts he could gather At
war with his neigihbor and at war with
himself, his life was raclled with fears
and torments, and his mind filled with
debasing superstitions, which civiliza-
ton has hardly yet wholly eliminated.

Rivers Outlive Lakes.

Prof W. B. Scott, of Princeton, in a
recent lecture, explained why lakes arc
rare in countries whose surface has un.
dergone no sudden change for an inn
mense period of time. 1t is because
the gradual effects of atmospheric
agencies and the power of water to
carry solid matter from elevated places
and deposit it in depressed places, tend
to reduce the land to general level,
and to fill up the basins of lakes. Thus
in the southern United States lakes are
rare, while in the northern states they
abound, the reason being that the
northern part of our country was COW
cred by a great ice sheet during the
glacial period, and the lakes produced
by the scooping-out and damming-up
effects of the glaciers have not yet dis
appeared, whereas in the southern
states, which were not reached by the
ice, the face of the land has lain for
ages, except by the slow levelling forces
already referred to. Rivers are much
longer-lived than lakes.-Youth's Com
paniOn.
