In the same part of the field the
Carter Oil company has the rig
building for their No. on the Dye

of days. AS soon as it is complet-

Keller, Kohl & company are
drilling at about 600 feet at their
No. I on the Harvey and this well
should be in the sand about the
middle of next week.
The Carter Oil company is drill

distance from their we'll on the Nc
Lain farm and should be in the
pay next week.
Down in the Berea grit section of
the Wilson territory the Carer Oil
company is doing quite little

rig timbers are out for No. 3 and
the rig will be started in a few days.
Cummings & Co. have completed

Up in Wetzel county, in Proctor
district, about 7 miles back from
the little town of Proctor, there is
the possibility of an oil pool being
opened up. Some time ago an oil
producer named Graham. of Pitts
burg, drilled in a we'll in the Big
IDjun sand that produced 10 barrels
of oil day. He pumped the we'll
until two tanks of oil were run and
then decided to drill the we'll which
he did, and struck large body of
salt water that drowned the well
out. About this time Graham
broke up and the we'll was left to
60 to rack. Since then Gillespie
Brothers, of Pittsbufg, the we'll
known operators, have been
validating up in that section of
the country. and very recently
brought in a fifteen. barrel well, af-
ter drilling two or three dry holes.
These gentlemen believe they have
struck the pool, and this week or
dered five boilers, engines and the
casing and necessary machinery
for drilling FIVE more wells. The
material will be shipped direct from
Pittsburg and hauled out to the To-
cations the firm has made, at once,
before bad weather, and the wells
will be started as soon as possible.
A number of gentlemen in this
city have leases up that way, and
are watching these developments
very closely, and if Gillespie is sue
cessful, they will drill number of
wells at once.
The Glendale Oil company, are
shooting their Berea wells in the
Eight Mile field with a view of in
creasing their production. They
have located their Becker No. s and
will begin drilling at once.

A GENIUS AT ADAPTATION.
Proposed TO the Wrong Girl, but Stuck
to the Bargain.

to the Bargain.
Scarcely day passes that some of
it's events do not affirm the old saw
that tyuth il stranger than fiction,
says the Detroit Free Press. Out near
Muskegon there is a big family made
up largely of sons. None of them has
a superhuity of intelligence or push,
SO that the ona most favored in this
respect is looked upon as genius by
the other members of the household.
He can do fair job of painting, from
has knsck for interior decoration of
the more ancienttype, patches, mends,
tinkers, and has smattering of all
the common mechanical trades.
Thus gifted, the young man con-
cluded to fit up cart and go about
the country soliciting odd jobs of all
kinds. Among those with whom he
found employment was a tenant farmer
having several fair daughters. With
one of these the genius had lengthy
visit while about his work and became
impressed with her charms. For the
remainder of tha season she was in
his thoughts, and by the time he
reached home to remain during the
winter, he had made up his mind that
he was in love and would propose 10
the girl he had seen but once. He
wrote q straightforward business let
ter explaining the state of his feelings
and asking her hand in marriage.
Back came the answer from "Dear
Mary" to whom he had written, say
ing that she WIS willing.
The thing was to be done in some
style, so that printed invitations were
sent broadcast and great feast pre-
pared. When the genius reached the
busy scene of preparation he was
somewhat disturbed to find that Mary
was not the girl he had fallen in love
with at all. but the elder sister. He
did little quiet figuring on the cost
of new invitations and another we'd
ding supper, tore the paper up when
he was through, kept his own counsel
and married Mary. The only COM
ment offered is that they seem to be
an unusually happy couple.

"There Mil1y."

"There is-Milly.'
"Milly? Poor Millyi am afraid
we shall never see her again" sobbed
David, breaking down for the first
time.
He was holding Morgan's hand. He
felt great shudder pass through his
friends body.
'Stoop," said Morgan, "stoop ms
near as you can. cannot die without
telling YOU"
spasmodic tones, with long pauses,
constantly interrupted with exclama-
tions of horror from David, Morgan
told how he had inveigled Milly into
the old pit and had imprisoned her so
that she could not possibly escape and
left her only food enough for one day.
1t was terrible story to hear in
that dark vault, without CLEAN of
light or clear hope of escape. David
seemed to forget that he had been for
five days without food. A great surg
ing tide of Indignation rolled like lava
through his veins as he thought of
Milly, his own darling Milly, to whom
he was so soon TO be married.
The story was hardly finished when,
with shout as savage as that of a
wild beast deprived of its mate, he
sprang up and seized the dying man.
He lifted him in his arms with the in
tention of dashing him down again.
1t was moment of uncomfortable
passion, reused by the thought of
Milly's lingering death. David held
Morgan for few seconds and pre-
pared to fling him against the sharp
rocks of coal.
Suddenly CLEAN of light appeared
in far corner. Milly herself entered
the cave. David became powerless
and dropped Morgan at his feet.
Milly had not been long in hel
prison when she escaped. She had
heard of the explosion and since then,
by day and by night, for many hours
at time, she had travelled through
all the old mines searching for pas.

just in time to save her lover from

ness are deadly enemies, and there
fore it is but natural that good many
people down South have said harsh
things about the precautions against
yellow fever which good many other
people in that region have seen fit to
take. The Lumber Trade journal of
New Orleans is especially and anus
ingly vehement in expressing this in

slightest justification from science or
reason, commerce is paralyzed, COM
munities are practically at war with
each other, communication is cut of,
towns are depopulated, and hunger

state. Immediately panic reigns SUI

population OF an otherwise prosperous

ernor of the commonwealth locks up
the state house and takes refuge in

fitness of this does not seem to strike
anybody, least OF all the craven who
deserted his post so hastily. In the
light of subsequent events the seat of
the state government ought to be
maintained in its present location. A."
