A GOOD SHOT.

The Waller Oil Well was Shot wednes-
day, and Proves to be Twenty Bar
rel Producer.
CAMBRIDGE o.. Dec. 23.--The oil well
on the Wallar farm, south of the city,
was shot yesterday evening at 4:S9
o'clock, and, although the job was not
as successful as it could have been, the
strike is very satisfactory. We were
told this morning by one of the drill
ers that the owners had decided to
commence the first of the week and
place tubing in the we'll and pump the
same, as the indications are that the
we'll can be made to produce at least
twenty barrels of an excellent quality
Of oil per day. He further informed us
that experienced oil men are OF the
opinion that the flow would probably
increase to double its present capacity
after the necessary tubing and other
appliances are put into use.
Other wells will be drilled in the
Wallar field at an early date and al
ready land leases have been made, as
it is believed by the experts that val
liable and abundant pool has been To-
Gated.

ATHLETIC CARNIVAL

Between the Cities of Cincinnati Il and CIeve-
1and-The Former City Carried or the
Honors.
CINCINNATI, Dec. 80. - Twenty-Five
hundred people at the o. N. q. armory
Wednesday night witnessed the inter-
city athletic carnival between Cincin-
natl and Cleveland. Cleveland sent a
large delegation with her representa-
tive athletes, and before the evenings
sport started was confident of winning
the majority of the contests.
The Cincinnatians, however, made a
clean sweep. The victories were all
clean cut and the contestants were
equally us clean in their work. John
Simcoe, of Cincinnati, was referee in
all the events and his work was easy.
Henry Holtgrcwe, the "Saudow' of
Cincinnati, gave a marvellous eXhibi-
ton of heavyweight lifting, and as
Cleveland presented no rival, he was
declared the champion strong man of
Ohio.
Then followed a catch-as-catch-c can
wrestling bout between Ed Barr, of
Cincinnati and Dan Mcmahon, of
Cleveland. Barr won in eight minutes.
The third event was to be n SIX
round boxing contest between Charlie
Burns, of Cincinnati, and Dan O'Neil,
of Cleveland, wcltcr weights. Burns
won in the fifth round.
Jack Doherty, of Cincinnati, and
Eddie Burke, of Cleveland, light
weights, were the next pair in six
round go. Doherty gained the de-
cision in the second round.
The rival cities then presented two
colored heavy weights-Ed johnson, of
and Lon Beckwith, of
Cleveland. They were to fight eight
rounds. Johnson knocked Beckwith
out in the third round.
The last and main event of the even
ing was ten round go between Oscar
Gardner, the Omaha Kid" and John
ny Lavacl, Of Cleveland, feather
weights.
For three rounds the fighting was
sven both showing great cleverncss.
From the fourth round, however, un-
til the finish Gardner outgeneraled and
outfought his opponent.
In the fifth round Lavack bled from
the mouth, nose and above both eyes.
During the following rounds his fuce
was a mass of blood. He put up
game defense, however, and STAYED the
limit Gardner was declared the win

Mr.. Dan'l Sully, the only legitimate
Irish comedian on the American stage,
has been secured for Wednesday, Dec.
goth, at the Auditorium, in his beauti-
full play, "O'Brien, the Contractor. To
those who wish to keep apace with the
theatrical news, this will be a most
agreeable announcement as Mr.. Sully
is known to be an actor of great re-
parte. His play had continuous run
of $50 nights in New York City, which
is almost as long as any show that has
ever played in that city. The people
of Marietta have been especially fortu
nate in having an opportunity of see-
ing this excellent attraction. Seat
will be on sale at Blume's Jewelry
Store Monday.

THE Democrats of the National
House of Representatives have put
themselves on record in favor of an in
definite continuation of fat-money
principle Despite the fact that the
use made of the paper money of the
United States proved the greatest
source of embarrassment to their last
national administration, caucus in
which 101 of their 125 members of the
House participated adopted resolutions
pledging the party in Congress to OPP
pose the retirement Of greenbacks and
Treasury notes and an increase of
national bank circulation. By this
action the leaders of the Democratic
party again take up the greenback
theory under which they marched to
defeat and almost annihilation, 20
years or more ago, and now propose to
combine it with the free-silver propo-
sition under which they suffered de-
feat in 1896. In doing this they drive
still further away from them every
business man and business interest
and make it apparent that in the COM
ing national election every man who
voted for Mckinley In 1896 and thous-
ands who unwillingly supported Bryan
because he was the candidate of their
party will be found hereafter in the
ranks of the Republican party and
it's candidate as the only
representatives of sound money and
sonnd financial views.

THERE is a growing feeling all over
the country and in Washington in
favor of the adoption by Congress Of
President McKinley's simple currency
plan, in which he proposes that the
Treasury and United States notes
which are redeemed in gold shall be
held in the Treasury, and that nation
al banks be permitted to increase their
circulation up to the par value of the
bonds held in deposit to secure circula-
tion. The discussion of the more elab-
crate plans which have been offered
shows that there will be little prob
ability that they could be adopted in
view of the fact that the Republicans
have not clear majority in the Sem
ate.
