Sistersville, W. Va, March 5.-The in
terest in the local oil fields is reviying
considerably now that spring is APP
preaching and the indications are that
there will be a large amount of work
done, among which will. necessarily be
a great deal of wild-catting There is
not a great deal of the old territory
which will stand drifting again.
1t was supposed a week,oT so ago that
the Benwood pool was a thing OF the
past but this seems untrue. The
drilling in of the Fisher Oil Company's
No. 6, on the J. Cehrs' farm, has re-
vived interest in that section for the
reason that it is located TO the west OF
the line of dry holes recently drilled
on the Mcfarland Neff and Fisher Oil
Companies territory.
The pool that is most in evidence in
this section at present Is in the vicinity
Of Conoway. where the Spragg Oil
Company drilled their good wells on
the Mayfield farm early in the fall. The
Murphy q Jennings well. on the Tus-
kins farm, has revived interest in that
section to a great degree. This well
when drilled in. was variOusly reported
as good for from 10 to 80 barrels an
hour, but the report was greatly eXag-
gerated. and il is believed five barrels
an hour would be nearer the figure
but even at that it opens up portion
of the territory which was supposed to
have been condemned by the dry hole
drilled by Col Henry Rauch and others.
Since this we'll was drilled in R2uch
and the South Penn, as well as the
Murphy and Jennings people, nave
made a number of locations and Will
commence drilling as soon as 1t is pos
sible to get the rigs up and the ma
chinery on the ground.
A suit for $4,000 damages has been
instituted by Attorney V. b. Archer, OF

LINCOLN'S FIRST INAUGURATION
Fears Of His Assassination, and He
Was Carefully Guarded.

In the March Ladies' Home Journal
stephen Fiske graphically recalls the ex-
element and apprehension and the con
dition of the country 'When Lincoln was
First Inaugurated - He tells the incl
dents Of the memorable journey TO the
Capital of Mr.. Lincoln's reception and
gives q rather grewsome picture of the
inaugural ceremonies "As / walked up
20 the Capitol the wide dusty streets were
already crowded, he writes; Irregular
troops were posted at intervals along
Pennsylvania avenue. Sharpshooters We're
climbing over the roofs of the houses. A
mounted officer at every corner was ready
TO report to General Scott the passage of
the procession. Detectives in plain
clothes squirmed through the masses of
people. The policemen had been in
structed to arrest for 'disorderly conduct
any person who called Mr.. Lincoln an
opprobrious name or uttered disloyal
sentiment There was much suppressed
excitement, and the prophetic word as
sassination was in every mind.
president Buchanan, whose term ex-
pired at noon, was engaged until half an
hour later i'm signing the bills that had
been hurriedly passed, but the Congress
sional clock had been put back TO legalize
the transaction. At last he drove down
to Wllards and the procession was
formed. The President and President
elect rode in open barouche; but this
confidence in the people was more appar-
cnt than real On the front scat were
Senators Baker and Pearce; guard of
honor OF the regular cavalry surrounded
the carriage; beyond were mounted
marshals four files deep. From the side
walks no one could accurately distinguish
Mr.. Lincoln. Close behind marched reg
imcnts of regulars and marines fully
armed. 1t seemed more like escorting a
prisoner TO his doom than President to
his Inauguration. Little cheering and
no enthusiasm greeted the procession.
Every now and then an arrest fcf 'dsor-
dcrly conduct was quickly and quietly
made i'm the crowd. The sunshine was
bright but the whole affair was as gloomy
as if Mr.. Lincoln were riding through an
encmy's country-as indeed he was. "

He Had Assaulted Connolly With Sharp
Edged Stone.

William Duke went into Matthew
Fagans saloon on North Main street last
night and got into an alteration with IA
man there. John Connolly, the bartender,
tried TO quiet the men and in doing so
displeased Duke. After considerable effort
Connolly got the better of the argument,
but Duke claims that he was severely
kicked by friends of Connolly. Duke got
tired of the trouble at any rate, and went
out il was presumed, TO go home. He re-
turned TO the saloon with a stone that had
rough and ragged edges to It which he
threw at Connolly. The stone struck
the latter on the forehead and cut "a rough
wound on his head Cries of murder"
and "police" were soon heard issuing
from the saloon. Duke ran out of the
place after he realized the seriousness of
his action and DR. o Ncill was called to
dress Connolly's wounds. Officer Nc
Govern heard about tho affair soon after
it happened and followed Duke whom he
saw getting over a fence.
The officer commanded Duke to stop
and when the latter failed to do so Nc
Govern fired his pistol in the air. This
brought Officer Reynolds To the scene and

was dressed, Connolly was taken to his

THE LAMB AND THE BEAST.
Lenten Sermon at Central Congrega ation al
Church.

At the first Of the Lenten services held
last night i'm the Central Congregational
church there was responsive reading from
Scripture, conducted by the pastor, Rev.
c. Il. Moore, and this was followed by
an address by Rev. Samuel T.. Herrick
of the Mt Vernon Evangelical church of
Boston. His text was, "The Lamb Made
War with the Beast from the Book of
Revelations.
"This book" he said, "has been
the arsenal from which sectarian
variance and theological differences
have drawn their weapons. Cath
olcs and Protestants alike have picked
up stones out of this field To throw
at each other. Various and contradicted
as have been most oq the interpretations
there is one which through all the ages
there has been no difference of opinion
upon, and that is the Lamb. There can be
no doubt but that the Lamb was Jesus
Christ
"It is the Lamb that opens the seven
Books of the Mysteries 1t is the Lamb
that is the lamp and glory of the Celestial
City.
'The beast, who Is he? He is the baser
element i'm human life which made human
life possible, and a struggle with which,
and conflict with which makes angelic
life possible II we take a general retro
spcct we find that the principal position
of the beast is its power over man, and
the beast is SO excellent while the man is
SO weak.
"Bcasthood may vary its form, but 1t
is present all the time. Tho problem OF
how IL can be extcrminated is what Is
troubling.the world today. IL is not sim
ply a social problem, il is the one problem
of the present life. 1t is against this beast
that the Lamb makes His war, and will

gruity, lamb making war against a
beast, and thinking of overcoming It'll
But what is it but saying in another way
that God is trying to love IA bad world
into goodness? Force is not remedy !;
shutting up soul SO that it cannot
achieve anything wrong Is but n partial
victory. The war with the beast must bc
such war as IA lamb can make. The
battle must be moral, the ice is not to be
broken, but to be melted by love; littIe
patient love goes much farther than much

The address for the meeting of March IT
will bc delivered by Rev. Rcuen Thomas,

Church at Brookline.

could do much for lettering the condition

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow Ies
Excessive Use.

- Common soda IL all right in its place and
indispensable in the kitchen and for cooking
and washing purposes, but it was never in
tended for a medicine, and people who use IL
as such will some day regret it.
We refer to the common use Of soda to re-
iieve heartburn or sour stomach, habit
which thousands Of people practice almost
daily and one which is frsught with danger;
moreover. the soda only gives temporary re-
lief and in the end the stomach trouble gets
worse and worse.
The soda acts as n mechanical irritant to the
walls OF the stomach and bowels and cases are
on record where IL accumulated in tho intes-
tines, causing death by inflammation or peri
tonitis.
Dr. Harlandson recommends as the safest
and surest cure for sour stomach (acid dys-
pepsia) an excellent preparation sold by drug
gists under the name OF Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. These tablets are largo 90 grain loz-
onges, very pleasant TO taste and contain the
natural acids, peptones and digestive elements
essential to good digestion, and when taken
after meals they digest the food perfectly and
promptly before IL has time to ferment, sour
and poison the blood and nervous system.
DIR. wuerth Estates that he invariably uses
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all cases Of
stomach arrangements and finds them a GER
tain cure not only for sour stomach, but by
promptly digestins the food they create a
healthy appetite, increase flesh and strengthen
the action Of the heart and liver. They are
not n caihartic, but intended only for stom-
nch diseases and weakness and will be found
reliable In any stomach trouble except can
Ger OF the stomach.
