The greatest trouble In the oil fields
is not enough water for drilling, and in
number of places to pump the old wells.
Companies in this predicament in the
Sistersville field have run pipe lines 10
the river for water. but in many cases
the distance has been too great.
The Middle Island creek. at Middle
bourne. where the supply for the Elk
Fork field was gotten has become so low
that an additional line will have to be run
up the creek some distance in order 10
get water.
During the past six days five or six good
wells were drilled at Elk Fork. The most
important was the Fearless Oil Co., on
the Gorrell farm. located to the south
west of the others drilled in that section,
and will tend to draw future work In that
direction.
Surprise was occasioned when the Eas-
tern Oil Co. drilled in their well on the
NJ. NJ. Gorrell lease to the northeast OF
the original Elk Fork pool and got a pro-
Queer. The well is located just ahead of
couple of poor wells. 1t is good for about
100 barrels a day.
Following is work being done in the
southwest extension of the Elk Fork
field:
Corbin & Glenn, location, and building
rig for their No. ! on the Harris.
Treat & Crawford, rigs at Nos. 3. and
on the J. F. Farrell. No. / on same farm
was drilled in yesterday afternoon and
when on top of the sand was showing up
for about 10 barrels an hour. The well
was shut in until the boiler could be
moved back.
Contractors are fishing at LOO feet at
Treat & Crawford's No on the ]. f.
Farrell.
The rig for the same company's No 1
on the Williams has been taken TO the
new location.
The Kanawha Oil Co. has made the To-
cation and are building the rig for their
No. l on the J. Neff.

NEWS OF BELLAIRE.
The Strike Situation at the Steel
Works--A Chronicle Of Briefly
Told Local Items of Interest.

report was current among the strikers
yesterday that the plate mill and blast
furnace would be started up tomorrow
on single turn. From what source the ru-
NOR emanated could not be learned, and
1t could not be verified. 1t is hardly pos
sibe that such steps will be taken by The
company unless large additional force
of men arrives. as resumptic,. OF work at
the plate mill and blast furnace, which
have been idle since the strike, would only
lessen the force of men who are engaged
in the steel plant, for the reason that the
force is composed largely of the plate
mill and blast furnace employees. To run
single turn in the steel plant. plate mill
and blast furnace requires a force OF one
hundred and seventy-hye men. while the
force now available at the works numbers
but seyenty-iye. The steel plant worked
as usual yesterday on single turn.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian tube When this tube is infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result and unless the in
flamation car be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by Catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars; free.

MARKET LETTER FROM ROBT.
LINDBLOM g. co.

Chicago. Feb. S.-The visible supply
decreased 100000 bu. or 100000 more
than my estimate and receipts in the
Northwest are 5l1 cars. which is very
large, and they will continue large.
There is considerable wheat in stack
yet and lot Of it is Of very poor quail
ity, and 1t is question how this poor
wheat will influence the market. The
usual influence Of poor quality is to
depress values. l have advised selling
wheat today, with stop orders at 7Sc
The statistical situation is strong.
Exports are liberal and the decrease
in stocks is all that any bull could de-
sire. The situation is much stronger
than when wheat was Soc, except that
receipts in the Northwest continue to
be large, when according to figures
supplies should be exhausted.
We are entering on a season of
weather and crop reports and We cx-
pect the bulls to have the best news

Corn is finer, and provisions are de-
cidedly higher. l don't think they

ians' for he has invented a little method
Of his own for selling watches.
The watch FOR sale" is hung upon the
mess-room door and the owners comrades
stand some ten or twelve yards away ana
shy sixpences at it. The first one that
strikes the watch takes it, and it becomes
his absolute property. The seller pockets
an the sixpences which have gone wide
of the mark until the fatal one is thrown
To throw sixpence twelve yards with
any degree Of accuracy is not such an
easy matter, as it perhaps appears, and it
not infrequently happers that the seller
OF the watch obtains more than its value
ior Il before It is struck. The chagrin of
Tommy when his watch is struck at the
first or second throw can better be inag-
ined than described
This method OF doing business provides
little excitement, and Tommy Atkins
dearly loves a break in the monotonv ~
life. -
