confession, and says he told the story
to get the governor to pardon him
for the burglary for which he is serv-

Jacksonville, Ohio, August 29.-The

persons, the entire mining population
of the time, have absolutely nothing 10
eat and 100 of these are sick. In this
immediate vicinity there are 1000 des-
titute people, large number of whom
are children. Local charity has help
ed them, but its means are gone. Gar
dens supplied the wants Of these peo-
pie until recently, but that resource is
now exhausted. Relief committees
have been appointed for the entire dis
trict, but they are powerless on ac-
count Of lack of supplies. Nothing in
cash or supplies has been received mere
this week except S25 in money. A citi-
zens' special committee is eXerting it
self TO secure temporary relief by TO-
morrow. If outside help does not come
soon the consequences will be appall-

We glean.I the following items from
MIR. w. f. Hoigh, of Ravenswood,
who is largely interested near his
home. and for which we offer thanks:
Some Pennsylvania people are drill
ing a well near Muses. Bottom; they
are down about 700 feet; they are well
pleased with their territory, and feel
confident Of getting oil.
The Chenoweth Bros. have a shallow
well near Seaman. This well Is in
the Cow Run sand at $50 feet. and is
good for ten barrels per day. They are
drilling their No. ., which is just on
top Of the sand, with a bit in the hole,
which they are drilling out. This well
shows up for a much better well than
their No.
The well which is being drilled by
Mr.. Russell, on the Douglass farm, near
Pasco. in Roane county, is progressing
rapidly. They expect to reach the
sand in a few days.
The McCalmOnt Oil Company have
struck a good well near Fat Fork,
about fifteen miles southeast Of Spen-
Ger. There are conflicting reports as
TO what this well will do. 1t has flowed
oil over the top Of the derrick. Eeve.y-
thing possible is being done TO keep
down excitement. Tankage for this
well was taken from Ravenswood 10
Spencer over the r. S. & G. Ry. Friday.
The car in which tankage was loaded
was attached 70 a passenger ;rain
which looks as If they were anxious
to get II set up There was quite a
rush Of oil men to Spencer to see this
new gusher. as it is termed.
The well being drilled by Mr. Ham
ilton. Of Butler, Pa, at Moore's Switch,
lust east Of Reedy is progressing rap
idly. They are on top Of the salt sand.
There is quite a flow Of gas. It neces-
STATED their shutting down until the
boiler could be moved back. 1t is the
general impression Of an oil men that
this well is going 70 be good one.
There is a great deal OF interest taken
in this territory now By great many
oil operators, as there are so many
test wells being drilled. Il is only a
question Of time until 4 gree Oil field
will be opened up.
