ENenbOro, w Va, June 26.-The

the Sanford Bumgardner farm, was
genuine surprise to most Of the talent,
and has renewed the interest in terri
tory on the west and southwest of the
old gas wells The well is making
about ninety barrels per day from the
Big Injun sand, and is located on Whis-
ky Run proper, mile half south
west of the Abicht pool, it opens up
block of territory that has been classed
as dry for a long time. Most OF the
land is under lease. although there is
probably thousand acres of likely ter
ritory loose, on a line running slightly
west of Ellenboro. About three-quar-
tiers of a mile further southwest, on
Dog Comfort Run, the Associated Pro-
ducers are nearing the sand in their
other venture on the Andrew Miller
farm, and it will be watched closely,
as it will go long way towards de-
termining the real value of the Bumb-
gardner strike.

in the Registers Bulletins from
Chickamauga Yesterday

The telegram from Will Crawford,
of Company M, First West Virginia
Volunteer Infantry. stating that the
West Virginia soldiers are to be moved
Immediately, which was bulletined by
the Register last evening, caused great
interest in the city last night. This
was manifested principally by parents
and relatives of the boys who are af-
fected by the order. So long as the
soldiers were encamped at Chicka-
manga, there was a feeling of security
on the part of parents, and no doubt
many entertained the hope that the
war would be settled without cOndi-
ton of affairs arising that would make
it necessary to place the soldiers at
Chickamauga into actual service. Yes
terday's order will therefore cause
great anxiety inasmuch as it means
that the boys are to be taken to Tam
pa, and will be on Cuban soil within a
very short time.
Lieut. Conner and his assistants in
the local recruiting office first received
their information concerning the order
to move to the front from the Register
bulletin. Up to midnight Lieut.. Con-
ner had received no official notification.
He has secured the necessary number
of recruits for the regiment, however,
and had previously determined to close
the local Office to-day. The office at
No. 1901 Market street will be closed at
ten o'clock this morning. There are
twenty names enrolled, from which the
five men necessary to make up the full
quota of 103 will be secured.
The Wheeling company of the Sec
ond West Virginia Volunteer Infantry

been completed to fill out the company
and to leave for Charleston tomorrow
morning All persons who have en-
rolled, but have not been examined,
must report by noon Monday. If they
do not do so, Captain Willis will fill up
his company with men from other
points.
Captain Willis states that baggage
must be packed ready for Shipment this
evening. Violation of these instruc-
tions will be enforced according to the
usual military methods.
Yesterday afternoon a special pa
triotic service was held at the Y. M. c.

have enlisted here to join Uncle Sans

Novel Suggestion Regarding the Re-
striction of Immigration.
E. B. Dun, the head of the local
weather bureau at New York, has for a
long time been engaged in formulating
some measure thai would ameliorate
the condition of labo1iDg classes CT the
country. He has sent to the commits
sioner of immigration at Washington,
Terrence Y. Powderly, rough outline
OF a measure that he thinks would re-
lieve the pressure on large centers of
population like New York, Chicago and
other large cities, unless it can = be
shown that the immigrant does no:
intend to compete with citizen labor.
Before an immigrant sails from his
native country he must first call on the
American consul and designate the
place for which he is bound. and if he
has no objective point the American
consul, having knowledge OF places in
this country where labor is needed. will
nform the prospective immigrant OF
them, and if he elects to choose one
passports and tickets through to such
place are to be given him. All immi'
grants who are not furnished with
proper credentials from the American
consul as to destination and other
requisites shall be deported.
