Those Street Signs.

10 me ST. raul Globe:
In Sundays G oh e read a letter from
the c.. Neumann Sign Manufacturing COM
pany, IN regard to the action of the board
OF pubic works. in letting the contract for
street signs. While l am thoroughly in ac-
cord with the writer of that letter, as to the
improperly of giving our city work to East
ern manufacturers. when the bid of a local
firm is low lower yet | don't quite
agree with Mr.. Neumann as to the cost of the
wooden backs and fXngs." Being a manu-
facturer of sign boards and other woodwork
l am in a position to furnish those wooden
backs at much lower price than the one
which Mr.. Neumann allows the board Of
public works In the calculation he makes ;
and, by the way, why did not the bari
advertise for bids on those wooden backs
and filings which, it appears are going
to cost the city as much as the signs proper :?
Is 1t in order to give some outside or fayorite
firm "snap?'
Until the board of public works answers
this question in a manner satisfactory to
the taxpayers and voters it might be we'll
for Capt. McCardy to withhold his signature
from the contract for street signs and while
we have the matter under discussion, would
1t not be well to dispense with the iron and
enamel altogether, and paint the name Of
the street on the wooden backs" thus giving
the sign painters of the city a chance to
earn an honest dollar, and which would
dred dollars to the taxpayers. Keep the
money spent for a necessary public improve
ment at home and create a good harmonious
feeling all around. The aesthetic ambition of
the board of public works may be very graft
flying to its friends, but it Is too expensive
for the average citizen and payer of taxes
Respectfully. IS, John Calander

CAPTAIN Fowler Dead.

We are in receipt of the sad intel
ligence of Captain W. B. Fowler's
death, which occurred Wednesday
evening at the home Of his son in
Bridgeport. His death was due to
a complication Of diseases coupled
with old age.
Captain Fowler was assistant
clerk and did other work about the
Wells hotel here during the eutire
time the house was conducted by
c. F. Hosford. The deceased was
at one time 4 conductor on the c.
L. & w. railroad and held other
important and trusty positions. He
was universally popular here and
during nis brief stay had acquired
the esteem and respect Of all who
knew him.

recovered.
Hosford, Holden & Barnsdall are
going to drill a well on the A. c.
Martin farm, about one-half mile
west of the Shinn shallow sand
pool. They are hauling the rig
now on the ground and it will be
pushed to completion as rapidly as
possible. Frank Holden says he
is not going to leave this district
until he finds a gusher. We wish
him success.
Captain J. T. Jones has a num-
Der of farms leased extending from
Middle Island creek to Big Buffalo,
including the following farms: 1.
S. Lemley, c. A. Parr, B. F.
Stokes, James Sweeney Morgan
farm) J. T. Hugusand H. c. and E.
Williamson, about 1000 acres in
all, on which there will be several
test wells drilled this spring.
There is we'll located on the
Hughes farm which will be drilled in
the near future. The two wells
drilled on the Hugus farm, and the
one on the Williamson farm have
good Big Injun sand, and showed
up good deal of oil, which makes
oil men think that a considerable
field might be opened up there,
The people are glad that Capt. J. 7.
Jones has commenced to develop
this part of Tyler's oil field as
he is considered gentleman and a
slayer in oil fields.

From TUESDAYS Daily.
Field news today IS not Of a sen
sational nature, but on the contrary
present a very tame appearance.
The Jug pool aside from the
Whiskey run pool is the most in
teresting development, but there is
nothing of special interest from that
source.
The market conditions are more
interesting. 4 report is current
today that Joseph Seep has ordered
the managers Of his agencies to de-
sist from buying credit balances in
the usual way, but to throw the
certificates on the exchange and sell
them for what they are worth.
Mr.. Sweeney. at this point, could
not be seen this afternoon and the
report was not confirmed by him al

The regular weekly meeting of
the city council was held last even
ing in the law Office of G. NJ. Nc
Coy.
There was barely quorum pres
ent, owing to the fact that some of
the councilmen were out of the
city. Enough got together how
ever, and brief meeting was held.
The minutes of the last meeting
were read and adopted. Mr.. F. d.
Mccoy was present and submitted
petition from the candidates on
the Citizens ticket requesting that
Attorney F. L. Blackmarr be ap-
pointed to act as commissioner on
the election board for the coming
municipal election to be held
March oath.
It will be remembered that it was
said by some that the Lawrence
ticket was not represented on the
board In the three commissioners
that were appointed last Monday
evening, hence the petition.
Mr.. Kennedy then suggested that
H. ]. Connolly's name be with
drawn. The question then came
up as to whether Mr.. Blackmarr
was or was not a legal voter. Mr..
Mccoy stated that Mr.. Blackmarr
had made affidavit to his qualihca-
tions at previous election. After
some discussion it was moved that
Mr.. Blackmarr be appointed to
succeed Mr.. Connolly.
The street committee made a
brief report stating that much had
been done by the recent heavy
rains towards washing the mud of
the pavement, leaving the side
walks in fair condition.
1t also reported that Pike street
extension would have to wait. This
portion of Pike or Diamond street
was TO have been paved last fall,
but excessively wet weather has
prevented the completion Of the
work. The mud now is too deep to
allow further excavation and too
thin to be kept in wagon in the
event the contractors would decide
on going to work.
A complaint was entered by peo-
pie who reside in what is known as
the Williamson property on the east
side of the railroad, about their
neighbors throwing garbage in back
lots ana other places.
Il IS said that tin cans of every
imaginable kind are strewn in un-
kept profusioD, as well as other OBJ
noxiouS waste. The matter was
simply discussed, no action in the
matter being taken.
Ed. Young submitted Dill for
SIS, being the balance due him for
service rendered in the whisky
cases that were appealed during
the year of '95. After considering
the bill, it was ordered paid.
The council was seemingly short
on business last evening, and called
an adjournment before O O'Clock.

AN IMPORTANT TEST.

One of the most important tests
to be made in Wetzel county for
many moons will be started in a
few days by Messrs. Hall, Chapman
and Trees, of New Martinsville.
The location for this test has
been made on the head waters of
Proctor creek, and we are reliably
informed that the rig timber has al
ready been placed on the ground.
1t is nearly three miles to the near
est developments, and vast scope
of territory will be made valuable
or condemned by this location.

will be watched with a great deal
of interest, as it is situated north
east of the line OF big gas wells

LOOKS LIKE A GUSHER.

Bartlett q StanCNH NO.
Fletcher is showing up for a gusher.
This morning it began flowing from
the top OF the sand and when the
pay is reached they expect a gusher.
The Victor Oil company's No.
Morris has not yet got the sand and
will not be drilled in before late this
evening or tomorrow. A rumor on
the street this morning which
caused considerable excitement was
to the effect that gusher had been
developed in the southern portion
of the Elk Fork pool. The report
contains no truth whatever as no
we'll in that locality is.now due.
An important location has just
been made by Henry Brown, OF
Warrington, on the Duval 20 acre
tract in the northeast extension OF
the Elk Fork pool. This location
is slightly in advance of develop
ments and will tell an interesting
story. He has purchased the par
aphernalia used in drilling the "old
Bowser" we'll and will start at once.
From Mondays Daily.
With the rapid decline of the
credit balance price fell the spirit
of the operator. Those who had
mapped out an immediate campaign
OF operations have abandoned their
project. The three wells being
drilled by the Elk Fork Oil and Gas
company and the location on the
DuIal 20 acres is the amount Of new
work started in the Elk Fork pool.
Other wells are awaiting a better
market; the only pool to present
any marked activity is the new
developments on Whisky run in
Richie county. Wood county de-
velopments are, as usual, without
any special features.
The only remarkable thing con-
cerning the last named county is
the small amount Of field work that
is being done.
Washington and Monroe counties
failed to present features OF interest
during the week, and aside from
the few wells now drilling on Viii
son run very little is being done.
The wildcatter is painfully silent
and no effort is being made by the
operator to extend pools. The mar
ket tumbled only two cents during
the week and the operator is again
hopeful OF a stationary or advancing
market again.
Many other portions of Richie
county are being operated aside
from Whiskey run.

be taken with a grain of salt.
