TO the Editor Of the Register.
Sir:-I see that The School Book
Boar" has changed all the school books
in the county, and thereby imposed
vast expense upon the people OF the
county. Not child can enter one OF
the public schools without paying tri-
butte to the Republican ring that con-
trolled the action OF this board. Vine
Their the ring was composed of the Re-
publican members of the board, or they
were the tools of the ring that assumes
to run things generally, it makes no DIFF
ference, for am informed that the rec
ord Of the ballots show that the RepuD-
lican members persistently voted to
change, and thus impose heavy burdens
on al tho poor people who have child
rem TO educate.
But this is in keeping with the spirit
of modern observation-disclosures.
THE people be damned is the motto OF
its action. Especially is this. true in
this case. for we are reliably informed
that the people having hints of the prob
able changes intended, sent in petitions
signed by hundreds of parents, and
these petitions were presented by good
and reliable citizens to Republican
members of the board, and were ignor-
ed. They were treated contemptuousiy,
and those who presented them snubbed.
The county superintendent of schools,
who is a Mckinley Republican, not only
ignored the petitions or protests of the
people. but was an active worker for
the change of books. He was so active
a worker that one or two observers mis-
took him for book agent. But this IS
Republicanism. This is the way they
bring prosperity" Tax the people on
what they have, if they can, and if they
cannot they compel them to throw away
what they have and get something they
can tax them for.
Taxation for the sake of taxation is
Mckinley Republicanism.
On going into the city this morning
I desired to see and examine the books,
or some of them, that we are compelled
TO buy. but the ring had carried of the
samples.

AIARGE MEETING.

Last night a very enthusiastic rail-
road meeting was held at Waynesburg
in the interest of the proposed new line
which is TO connect UniOntOwn with
either Moundsyille or Wheeling. The
company who have secured the right
of way have already sold the coal
privileges under the land. and in their
contract a road is to be built inside of
two years. This would seem like the
road would be built, and everybody
will be glad to hear that interest in
the scheme has been aroused again.

Sistersville, w. Va, August 3.-Great
excitement continues to prevail over the
coming of the wild cat oil we'll on the
Pollock farm, at Paden's Valley, and a
great deal Of leasing is being done in
that vicinity. All of the land is under
lease. chiefly by the Paden Valley OIL
Company. and some by other compa-
mics. with the exception OF the lower
half of Padens Island, owned by DR..
Joseph Thistle of Washington, Pa, and
about twenty-five acres of A. J. Van
Camps farm. and part Of the James 5.
Stevens farm, consisting OF about 50
acres. which lies a little TO the east OF
the Pollock we'll; but it is thought that
all the land up there will soon be under
lease and active developments will be
commenced by all companies. Quite a
number of prominent oil men of this
city have gone to the Valley the past
week and it is there general opinion
that there Will soon be fine field there.

probable there are isolated instances
where reliable Cow Run sand leases
will be operated without cessation, be-
cause if such leases are fairly produc-

The South Penn Oil Company will
abandon their first venture on the Griffin
farm. near CORVALLIS. and will start an
other hole.
The total production of the CORVALLIS
field has dwindl5d to about 200 barrels.
The end of the month shows that opera
lions about Rutherford were fairly active.
Eleven wells were completed. two of
which were dry holes. the average daily
production being 35ls barrels. Barnsdan
