Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

This remedy Is intended espe-
cially for coughs, colds, whooping
cough, Group and influenza. 1t has
become famous for its cures of these
diseases, over a large part of the
civilized world. The most flatter-
ing testimonials have been received
giving accounts of its good works;
of the aggravating and persistent
coughs it has cured; of severe colds
that have yielded promptly to its
soothing effects, and of the danger
Gus attacks of Group it has cured,
otter saving the life of the child.
The extensive use of it for whoop-
ing cough has shown that it robs
that disease of all dangerous conse-
quences. 1t is especially priced by
mothers for their children, as 1t
never fails to effect a speedy cure,
and because they have found that
there is the least danger in giving
it, as it contains nothing injurious.

A Peculiar Oil Case.

A peculiar oil case has been insti-
tuted at Bowling GIeene within the
past week. A party took lease
of 40 acres from a farmer residing
near Pemberville, Ohio, in July,
1906. Six wells were to be drilled
on the piece, the first of which was
to re completed in 80 days. The
others were to follow in periods OF
90 days each. Failing to complete
the wells the Lessee was to pay one
dollar per day for each and every
day such completion was delayed.
This "bond of indemnity" applied
with equal force to each and all
wells not completed on time. The
lessee drilled two wells in accord
with the spirit of the contract and
quit. He continued, however, to
pump the wells and his assignees
are doing so still. 1t seems that the
lessee became involved in some
way and transferred the property to
other parties. Nearly all men who
take such contracts fall into the
same pit. Serves them right.
But in the shuttle the conditions
contained in the lease were either
forgotten or neglected and no effort
was made to become relieved OF
their force. 1t seems furthermore,
that in addition to the 40 acres
mentioned, another piece of the
same size was secured from the same
farmer. The latter was to be drilled
when all wells were completed on
the first and the same penalties ap-
piled.
There was no provision forfeiture
of lease or any portion of it in the
lease. The farmer now sues for all
back rentals which amount to many
thousands of dollars. Messrs. Bow
lus & Co., of Pemberville, are now
the owners of the wells and the
lease and are made defendants in
the action.
A statute for the regulation of oil
and gas leases seems to be an abso-
lutte necessity. AS matters now
stand an operator is puzzled to know
whether he is con foot or on horse
back" whether he has title to what
he has earned or not. Judges rule
in opposite directions on the same
case making it impossible for the
ordinary mind to discover where
he is at"

A Clever Trick.

1t certainly looks like it, but
there is really no trick about it.
Anybody can try it who has lame
back and weak kidneys, malaria or
nervous troubles. We mean he can
cure himself right away by taking
Electric Bitters. This medicine
tones up the whole system, acts as
a stimulant to liver and kidneys, is
blood purifier and nerve tonic. 1t
cures constipation, headache, faint
ing spells, sleeplessness and Melau-

mild laxative, and restores the sys.
tenn to its natural vigor. Try Elec-
trio Bitters and be convinced that
they are a miracle worker. Every
bottle guaranteed. Only soc bot

DISASTROUS FIRE
At Berkeley springs-The Hotel To-
tally Destroyed.

.e-AAJ ASCosAOJ ~NAs
Berkeley Springs, w. Va, March
E22.-The most disastrous fire that
ever occurred in this county was
the burning of the Berkeley Springs
hotel at this place this morning
causing a loss of about $50, 900,
with nearly $lS, 500 insurance.
About 1870 a. m. the fire was first
noticed, and the structure being OF
inhammable material, was quickly
consumed. Most of the furniture
and linen, however, was saved.
How the FIRE started is a mystery
and it was first seen in the second
story over the ball room, some dis
lance from the fue. 1t may have
been the work of an incendiary.
The main part of the hotel was
four stories with long wings, one,
two and three stories, and was erect
ed in 1916, Al and '4S by Colonel
Strother. Messrs./ Charles P. Jack
and A. B. Unger have been the
owners and proprietors for the past
five years. All of the adjoining
cottages were saved.

CORNMEAL EXHIBIT.

Senator Mason Considers 1t . Good
Scheme For the Paris Show.
Senator Mason will soon prepare and
introduce a bill in the senate providing
for a special appropriation for corn
meal exhibit at the Paris exposition.
He hopes by this means to second the
efforts of our representatives in Europe
in widening the markets for the album
dant corn crop of the United States.
In the fiscal year ending June. 1897,
the United States exported 81, 600, 600
bushels of corn and 1000, 900 barrels
of cornmeal The total corn crop OF
the United States is over 400, 900, 600
of bushels, and it is capable of indefi-
nite increase if a market can be found
for it.
For some years the United States
maintained special commissioner
Murphy by name, whose duty it was to
introduce cornmeal into the various
continental countries. In Germany he
was quite successful, and "Murfybrod.
or Murphy bread, made from bali
and half mixture of -four and cornmeal
became SO popular that the agrarian in
terest there managed to have the tarlt
rates raised so as to check its imports

OIL NEWS.
From Mondays Daily.

The oil editor has had water on
the brain since Wednesday last and
is quite behind on field work. AS
far as can be ascertained very little
has happened worthy OF mention.
The most disappointing develop
1nents of the past week was the
busters in the northeast extension
of the Whiskey run pool. Two
busters have been completed in that
direction which closes all avenue
for further extension in that direc-
ton. Gufey & Co.'S No. I
Hamilton is reported dry as is
the South Penn Oil company's No
I McGregor. A later report from
the Hamilton places its production
at 20 barrels per day.
A message from that field today
is to the effect that the Mountain
State Gas company has completed
their No. I D. G. Payne IS acre
tract and have producer good for
8 barrels per hour. This we'll IS
located 1900 feet southwest OF
Albrecht No. and makes territory
in that direction look very good.
THE JUG.
The Jug pool has developed
many discouraging features during
the past few days, and those who
bought in at a very high price
would be glad to unload at much
lower figure than first cost.
Bartlett & Stancliff have drilled
through the pay at their No. I
Fletcher and have a very small
we'll, not better than 10 or II bar
rels.
The Victor Oil Co. have drilled
their Morris No. I through the sand
and have a rank buster. The
last named location will be drilled
down to the Gordon as test for
that formation. Both of these To-
cations were in the most favorable
direction, and to consider the results
as above are very disappointing.
There is little room for an outlet,
and unless something profitable ex-
lists in the Gordon sand the field
promises to be of minor moment.
ELK FORK.
This pool is not attracting any
great amount of attention, yet con-
siderable work is under way.
Nichols & Barnsdall have a fish
ing job at their No. ST. G. Haw-
kins, at a depth of 200 feet. The
rig for their No. q is nearly COM
pleted, and the drill will be started
up as soon as No. 3 is finished.
Brown and others, of Warrington,
have located their No. I Duval 20
acres, and the rig will be started at
an early date.
To the south of the field proper
the Eakin we'll has been started up
again. ]. L. Flack, the we'll known
contractor, has the well in charge
and will hurry it sandward as rapid
ly as possible.
The market still remains about
the same as last week. Very little
trading is being done on the ex-
change at Oil City and the credit
balance price remains unchanged at

the sheep are of the cheviot and Austria

average being from eight to ten pounds.
