 of the efforts made to obtain revision of the case referring with denunciatlon to Major Estehazy and reviewed Mime. Dreyfus' appeal for a revision of the case.
 h so doing, M. Bard, said the appeal is based on the assumption that the DOT dereau was written by Major Esterhazy. He then pointed out that there were sus- pieious facts which justify the request for a revision. Mme Dreyfus contended her husband did not write the borde- reau. which all experts reported he did write. The court, therefore, would have to examine these facts and decide wheth- CT a revision is justified. M Bard added that the appeal for a revision was decld- ed upon in consequence of the late Lieu tenant Colonel Henry's= confession that he had forged the documenti in the case, but NJ. Bard said this forgery was com mitted in 1896 and could not alone be regarded as ground for q revision or for an annulmeut of the judgment ren- dered in 1896 Notwithstanding the fact. M Bard said that Lieutenant Colonel Henry committed forgery, his evidence was most crushing against Dreyfus, but he continued, that the evil dence of q forger is open to suspicion. There was therefore, presumption of conscience, barred upon fresh facts which led to an appeal for a revision of the case and there were also grounds to ask whether another new fact had been brought to light and if Drey- fus was really the author of the bordereau, the note written by Major Esterhazy and found ill the apartment of Mime. Pays, which the writer asked what she should do respecting the bor- dereau.
 NJ. Bard read Colonel Du Patty de Clans report of the arrest of Dreyfus, then Captain of the French artillery, doing staff duty which the colonel said Dreyfus while waiting bis dietati0n, be- trayed intense excitement. But, M. Bard added, amid surprise of his hear CTS, a photograph taken a1 this writing does not give the slightest indication of Dreyfus laboring under excitement. Dreyfua. M. Bard also said, denied to Co16n6IDu Patty de Clans that he had never had relations directly with for eign powers. Colonel Du Patty de Clans report further showed that Drey- fus had to write discriminating doeu- ments in 10 different ways sitting and standing, with and without gloves and with ordinary and broad pointed pens.

POLITICAL NOTES.

The republicans of Wood county
are going to have swell time to-
day. Out at the city park there
will be a mass meeting, barbecue,
etc, and Elkins, Dovenor and sew
eral others or the leading lights OF
the state will be present to make
speeches and look after their fences.
Joe Mckay, of this city, has been
Imentioned as good man to nomi-
nate for county commissioner on
the democratic ticket, and there
seems to be an impression that he
would be all right. There is not
the least doubt but that he would
be the right man for this city.
How on earth the Star IS going
to support Hughes who bolted the
congressional convention which
nominated Dovener, and support
Dovener too, is a question.
The dissatisfaction over the re-
suit of the republican convention at
Middlebourne Saturday is still very
strong, and it will be hard work for
the bosses to whip some of the
faithful into line.
Q. E. Kesterson, attorney, of this
city, is mentioned as a candidate
or the nomination for House of
Delegates.
BY his action at the convention at
M1ddlebourne on Saturday, Stephen
Pyle has lost the respect and friend
ship of large number of people
and when he comes up for Office
again he will recognize the fact.
1t is generally believed that the
campaign this tall will be short and
sweet and that is as it should be.
Political campaigns do great deal
of injury to the country.
Hon. Jackson V. Blair, the dem
ocratic nominee for Congress is
meeting with ovations everywhere
he goes and he will give Dovenor
a hard tusSle.

Sistersville, and it is the candid
opinion of great many men that If
a good hustler is nominated he will
give Hughes a hard run and that
there is possible chance of win
ming.
1t is fact that Hughes is not at
all popular even in his own party
in the interior of the county, and
there is not the least doubt of his
unpopularity in this district, and
especially in the city. Hughes,
when elected the first time, made
promises to get the votes, of the
people of Sistersville which he
never fulfilled, and he even had the
nerve to fight against the very
things he had promised to support
when they were brought up before
the legislature
There have been several gentle
men named for the honor of this
nomination, and it is likely there
will be some little competition, but
as all those which we have heard
mentioned so far are good men, it
does not make any difference which
one gets the nomination. Lincoln
district, at the convention to be
held Saturday, should decide on
one man, and stick to him. They
want man who will do something
for this city in case he should be
elected, and not one like Hughes
Pyle, ct al, who are against the
city in everything, and would even
go out of their way to throw stone
at it,

A we'll has been started on c.. w.

field 4o6 feet north of the last one
drilled, which is producing about
45 barrels day.
Work on the we'll on the Baker

D. S. w.'S REPORT.
Operators have not met with sue.
cess in securing new territory. Con.
sequently they are resorting to old
methods to increase their produc-
Drilling old wells deeper or pulling
them out and making them produce
from an upper sand is now quite
common.
The old Brush creek field was
originally Snee sand development,
but for some years many of the
wells have been very small produc.
ers. When thev were drilled it was
observed that some had a good
showing in the Ioo.foot, and the oil
and water were cased off and the
we'll drilled to the 100 foot. 1t has
recently been demonstrated that
these wells would make good pump
ers from that level if pulled out and
shot. Those treated in that man
ner have made from FIVE to 4o-bar-
rel bumpers, and in addition to the
half dozen now pumping, seven
more are in various stages of over
hauling. At one time the South
Penn Oil company held leases on all
of the Brush creek territory, but did
not think well enough of it to hold
Winger & Co. are starting a well
on the Ann Elizabeth farm. Flem
ing & Co. will clean out an old
well on the J. Marshall farm,
drilled II years ago by the Bridge
water Gas company. They will
try to make it produce from the 100
foot.
Adams & Brackney are drilling
a well on the Ullrich farm back of
the old Brush creek MOTEL. They
are now in the Ioo-foot but will
not test that formation till after
they have drilled through the Snee
sand.
Klingensmith & Co. are in the
sand at their No. on the D.
Rchwendman farm and have
show for well. 1t is not expected
that the operations in the Brush
creek field will attract much atten-
tion but it is the only locality in
which there is a general effort max
ing to stir up the old wells.
In the Cow Run. development.
below Williamstown, Wood county,
Lockwood & Co. have drilled in
their No 4 on the Pugh farm and
have a duster. Nos. 1, and 3 are
making 400 barrels day In the
same pool the Cadimus Oil compa
ny's No. Henderson is due in the
sand. Nos. and 2 are making
100 barrels day. The same COM
pany's No. on the D. A. Hender-
son farm, located 1900 feet north
east of the other wells is dry in the
Cow Run sand and will be drilled
to the Berea.
Near Murphytown, the South
Penn Oil company has shot its No.
7 on the Jacob Piersol farm and in
creased its production from 40 to
l2S barrels a day.
