reason that 1t explains the scope and meth
DDS Of his scheme as well as and perhaps
better than many columns of argumenta-

Briefly stated. the purpose appears to be
to create a world government that shall
bear to the individual nations of the earth
about the same relation as the federal gov
eTEment OF this republic bears to the states
of the Union. There is no evident purpose
to destroy the integrity of the nations az
they exist.
1t is needless that the details of the pro-
;ect be described further. 1t is merely one
Of the many schemes for universal peace
that have been bros ched with more or less
enthusiasm and confidence during several
decades. 1t goes further than do most
others, however, in that it outlines def

have lacked. They have been delightfully."-

people who abhor war and fail to see its
necessity ur der any circumstances. This Is
bpsiness-like. concise, presented without
argument ard precise in its proposals
But the world is not ready for such
propaganda. The formation of the United
States of the World" by legislative means
will not be accomplished until the nations
lay down their arms and change their
natures. until men cease to be avaricious,
ambitious crafty and treacherous. The

ments of the earth would have to be either
est delicately dependent upon the honor
of all men ard all rulers, or sternly reliant
upon force to ems ire the execution of its
wishes. The Congress proposed by the
constitution Cow in view might pass laws
by the hundred for the moral elevation of
ankind but without great army of
agents for their execution these laws would
be as naught. The relations of individual
to state and of state to nation would be
in this instance by the more
trying relation of nation to nation, or, more
trying still, of nation to confederation.
The peculiar problems presented in this
&C rntry at times by reason of the tendency
toward a demand for the maintenance of
the rights of the state regardless of the
of the Union and the demand
for central supervision may be regarded
as family foreshadowing the complex con-
djtions that would surround an organiza-
ton such as is proposed by the author of
this constitution.

A Handsome Present.

Mrs. Geo. A. Burt was this morn
ing the recipient of a magnificent
gift, from Mr.. w. A. Kelley, man
ager OF the o. R. R. cafe at Sisters
Vile. The present is a splendid
elk's head and antlers, probably the
finest ever brought to this city.
The horns are truly immense hav-
ing a spread of49 inches, and from
the base OF the neck to the top
prongs the distance is over six feet.
The head is beautifully mounted
and is exceedingly life-like.
The value of the handsome gift
is enhanced by the fact that the
splendid animal from which the
trophy was obtained was killed by
Mr.. Kelly himself about three years
ago, in Montana. - Parker5bnrg

farm, southeast of the Elk Fork
pool and a half-mile east of the

for oil, but did not get a show. 1t
has been demonstrated very clearly
by the number of big gassers drilled
in that locality that it is the richest
gas territory in West Virginia.
There are gassers enough shut in
between Conway and Elk Fork to
supply Pittsburg and Allegheny
with fuel, and a few of the larger
mills could be taken in without ex-
hausting the supply. On Piney

Nature has made it easy to build

AS there is no lumber in Bermuda
except that which Is brought from
Canada at considerable expense, stone
is used for nearly the entire house.
The walls are laid OF blocks about
eight inches by six, and two feet in
length. Window sills and door jambs
are also sawed out OF stone In the prop

with stone shingles, which are made
by simply setting block OF soft, fresh

THE OIL IS VERY BLACK.
Attorney r. L. Gregory Has
Just Returned.
A Review Reporter Interviews Him
and Cleans Many Interesting Facts
as TO the Lone Star States Future in
the Oil World.

A Review reporter called on At
torney R. L, Gregory this morning
and interviewed him as to his re-
cent trip to Texas.
Mr.. Gregory was more than
pleased at the outlook for oil oper-
atoms in that state, although he
says that it will never even rival,
less equal this field.
He spent ten days visiting the
wells and looking over the fields,
with a view of investing in that
new field.
The latter statement is made
from the fact that he went there
as representative of two promi-
nent oil companies with which Mr..
Gregory is connected.
Being asked as to the extent OF
the work done there, Mr.. Gregory
said:
THE wells are located around
and near the town of Corsicana,
Texas. There are over sixty wells
that have been drilled, but the
average production is from three
to twenty barrels per day. These
wells are located within radius of
four miles from Corsicana.
The pay is found at a depth of
1850 feet and the sand is of a fine
dark grey. The oil is similar to
that of the Lima, Ohio, production,
heavy black, and is good REIN
ing oil. Although there are no re,
fueries LEAR this field, the produc-
ers find sale for it in Texas and
other southern states for fuel pur-
poses. 1t sells in the crude state at
so cents barrel"
Mr.. Gregory is very favorably
impressed with the Lone Star state
and will return in a short time for
investment purposes.
1t is presumed that he represents
companies that will work this field,
and he says that while it will in no.
wise affect their operations, the
companies expect to get little OF
the wealth that is evidently hidden
there.
The residents of the town. Cor
sicana were very much interested
in learning of the West Virginia
fields and were astonded with the
immense wealth OF this state. Mr..
Gregory had the Review sent him
while there and says that the ma
tives could scarcely believe the oil
reports of this state as given exclu-
sively in the columns of the Re-
view.
He also stated that in all the
towns he visited there were none
that could equal 1.-The greatest town
on EARTH" Sistersville, for hustlihg
and for the immense amount of
business being done during these
times, that have driven many towns
