On Thursday, April Z, Prof A. E. Yer
rill and a party of students from the
graduate and undergraduate depart
ments of the Sheffield scientific school
will sail for the Bermuda Islands for
the purpose of making scientific re-
searches. While the Bermudas have
already been visited by scientific expe-
ditions, Prof. Verrill goes with the ad-
vantage of having much better equip
ment than has ever before been taken
to the islands. The party will investi-
gate the coral formations and collect
as many specimens of sea life as posi-
BILE. For the latter purpose Prof. YER
rill's extensive outfit is especially suit
ed. The Peabody museum which has
lately received valuable additions to
it's collections, will profit by whatever
finds Prof Verrill makes. The party

Good Government Mentions Some
Necessary Qualifications for Candi-
dates.
To the Editor of the Register.
Strive are approaching the event
of another city election, and the
strangest part of it is, there are as yet
very few of the faithful who seem anx-
ious to enter the race for the different
offices that are in the gift of the peo-
pie. One would not think, from the
way our present city government has
been conducted for the last four years
back. that the Democrats should have
the least trouble in securing control Of
all the departments of our city affairs.
Mr.. Editor, as a Democrat and a
voter Of long standing, and one who
knows something of the wants Of the
people of this city would say TO the
Democracy of Wheeling, beware of the
dangers that confront you in the selec-
ton of those whom YOU wish TO repre-
sent you in your affairs. It behooves
the Democracy this time, above all
others, to beware of the cunning of the
politicians of both parties. The think
ing element of our city, by large ma
pority, are heartily disguised with the
corrupt methods that are now being
practiced. They demand the abuse

that IS now in force for which they are
dearly taxed to keep up, shall be abol-
lshed, and in it's place true form OF
government of the people and not Of
the hungry politicians and the corpora
lions.
In the selection of our chief execu-
1--WE great care should be taken, for he
mas Deen nothing more than a figure
nead In the past. In the selection OF
mayor, he should be a man that
would guard the city's interests. both
morally and financially He should be
an open advocate of reforms which
would tend to elevate the people both
morally and physically. This is some
thing Wheeling is sadly in need Of at
the present time Such man, il
selected, will have no trouble in get
ting the votes of a large majority OF
citizens Of this city.
In the selection Of candidate for the
Chlef OF police, the Democrats should
be careful In the choosing of man who
will bring them to victory after the
nomination has been made. AS l un-
derstand, there are already three aspir-
ants for the position. The people
would do well to examine into their fit
ness for the office The three candi-
dates are men well and favorably
known in this city.
For the selection of Councilman,
the Democrats should be more than
careful. From this class of officials
comes all our trouble. There are actu-
ally men in Council to-day that do not
know enough to control their own vote,
and the same could be said Of former
Councils in times gone by. This is all
due to carelessness of the people at
their suggestion meetings. The Demo-
Gratis should be on the alert this time,
more so than ever, in the selection OF
men to represent them, as their law
makers, as the corrupt politicians and
boodlers of both parties are combined
to overthrow the will Of the people.
It should be the aim Of the Democracy
at their primaries to endorse no candl-
date that is charged with being the tool
or hireling of the ring that is now IN
control of our city affairs. Their aim
is to rule, no matter at what cost or
sacrifice. Endorse none but good
straight men; then good government
can be had. otherwise not.

Special to the Register.

Special to the Register.
Sistersville, W. Va, June 5.-Quite
a good deal of excitement was caused
in oil circles here by the published re-
port that the well of the South Penn
Oil Company on the Peirpoint farm, in
the vicinity of Centrevjile, had been
completed, and that it was making at
the rate of nearly one hundred barrels
an hour. This is the largest well that
has been drilled in the southwest for a
long time, and it is but natural that it
should create some excitement. 1t has
been almost a year since the first ex-
element was caused IN the vicinity Of
Centreville by the South Penn drilling
in good well on the Meredith, but
since that time, while number of
good wells have been drilled in, there
has been quite number of dry holes
completed, and the operators were
afraid of the stuff 1t looks very much
now as though there was something
out in that section as this we'll Is 10
Gated a little beyond the limits of the
dry holes, and almost in direct line
with a number of large gas wells which
have been drilled out there. The Vic
tor Oil Company and number OF other
large operating concerns, in addition
to the South Penn, have a large
amount Of territory In the vicinity of
the wells reported, and there Will
probably be great deal OF new work
started out there in very short time.
Thee is a great deal of territory out
there that has never been tested, and
the indications for good pool are all
that could be desired.
