LEGISEATURE.
For Delegate District,
w. R. R1NE,
Of Tyler County.


ton is a thing of the past, and the
i nominees are men unknown to Sis
tersvil1e, the two important officers,
the candidates for the House OF
Delegates and County Commission
cr are residents of Centerville and
Ellsworth districts, and Hughes,
the man who so grossly misrepre'
sented us in the legislature two
years ago, is again the nominee OF
the republican party, and he has
been nominated, with the expecta-
ton that he will be a follower OF
and do only such things as will be
well pleasing to Hardman and lis
gang. We know from actual ex-
perience, demonstrated beyond all
doubt, that Hughes is against this
CITY, heart and soul. We know that
his election means defeat of our
much needed charter, of the pro
posed independent court and every
thing else that the crowd who run
this county think would add to the
comfort and prosperity of this city.
Mr.. Weekly nominated as
member of the county court lives
ON Muddy creek, in Ellsworth dis
trict, about ID miles from this city,
and if our information is correct,
and we believe it is, he is man
who will oppose Sistersville with
all his power and vim. He is an
out and out opponent to license or
anything else that would in
his judgement be of any aid to
this city.
We do not think that any one
will for a moment dispute single
statement we have made. Then
what are we going to do? Are we
going to sit quietly down and allow
our city to be kept from advancing
and improving to simply crafty
the unreasoning prejudices of a
few men, wonderfully small minded,
narrow, bigoted and unreasoning.
In other words, is ignorance and
prejudice to govern US longer, or
will we raise from sloth, go to
work and defeat these creatures so
openly determined to injure our
city.
In 1896, the total vote polled in
this county for Mckinley and Bry-
an was 4,21S votes. Of this num-
Der Lincoln district polled 1923
votes, one-third of all the votes
cast in the county. We think we
are entitled to some recognition, but
we have been turned down, and
delegates at the convention Satur-
day openly expressed themselves as
being opposed to any man from this
city for the simple and only reason
that they lived here. In other
words, the leaders have openly de.
eiared war to the bitter end against
oar city. They make no effort
now to screen their hypocrisy, but
come out openly and boldly and
declare themselves against the city.
This is the way matters stand to-
day. Now, what are we as free
American people to do? Will we
sit down and let the Infamous rotten
gang run us and domineer over US.
and we submit without a struggle?
We hope not, and the Review is

OIL NOTES.
THE OIL MARKET.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
The well drilled in the latter part
of the week on the Martha Thomas
farm in the Elk Run territory, by
Cowel1 & Altenberg, which was dry
in the Berea grit formation will
make a good producer from the Big
Injun. The first pay in that form
alton showed up for about 10 bar
rels day and the second will be
good for even more than that
amount. It is the intention of the
owners to shoot the we'll tomorrow
or next day in the Iniuu, and it IS
believed it will be good for about
90 to 60 barrels a day. These
people have so much confidence in
their territory that they have made
preparations to drill another well
on the same farm at once. The
location for the second well has
been made, and the rig will be
started as soon as it is possible to
get the timbers on the ground. 1t
seems to be the opinion among a
great many Of those who have been
at the we'll that a new Injun pool
has been opened up by the Thomas
No. 7. The formations in this
we'll are entirely different forms
than in any of the other wells that
have been drilled in that section. In
this we'll about As feet OF Keener
sand was found and then a big
break before the Injun was gotten.
There is showing of about 90 feet
of Ininfi sand, and this is a great
deal more than any of the other
wells showed.
In this section tie Garter Oil Co.
has large amount Of territory and
it is the intention of this company
to commence the work of drilling
their holdings in very short time.
They have a tract of about 1000
acres and a number of wells will be
drilled on it this fall and winter.
Kohl, Keller and Simon, who
have lease on the Harvey farm,
near the Thomas, made arrange
ments today to drill a well on IT..
The site has been selected and the
rig will be started about the middle
of the week.
Out in the Elk Fork territory the
Henry & Macdonald Oil company
have made the location and are
building the rig at their No. 2 on
the J. T. A. Hawkins. The rig
will be completed the middle of the
week and drilling will be COM
meeced as soon as it can be rugged
up.
The same company have put the
81 casing in their No. I Margaret
Gorrell and with good luck this
we'll should get the sane the early
part of next week. 1t is located a
little way in advance in the north
eastern extension of the Elk Fork
pool and will be of some impor-
lance.
Tomorrow the same company
will commence spudding at their
No. I on the John Eastman farm
on Crows run, next week, near
the Elk Fork pool. This we'll is
a wildcat venture and should it
come in a good producer, will open
up considerable new territory.
From Tuesdays Daily.
.Cowell & Altenberg went over to
their No. Martha Thomas in the
Elk Run territory this morning,
and the we'll will be shot some time
today. Yesterday they sent out a
tank, and as soon as it has been
built the we'll will be shot. There
is not the least doubt but that it
will make good producer. 1t has
shown up first class in all the pays
of the Big Ipjun formation.

The situation in the PHILIPPINES
seems to be somewhat critical by rea-
son of the insurgents, under Aguinal-

ent government there. It is reported
that Aguinaldo has 81 900 troops un-
der his control and that he has pretty

Their reported that Admiral Dewey has
asked for another cruiser and bat

in case of trouble. The insurgents in
Cuba are behaving much better. In
with both it is we'll to state
that one cannot expect children to be
better than the parents, and in both
groups of islands the parent hand of
Spain has laid the rule of government
and of education.

TRADE We WANT.

In his speech at the Davis reception
last Saturday night Mr.. James j. Hill,
President of the Great Northern Rail
way, sounded the key note of the
future American policy With regard to
our commerce in the far East, or rather
the Asiatic waters. Mr.. Hill remarked
that there should not be day passing
but what one or more ships, flying the
American flag, should leave our Pacific
coast, with American products for sale
in China and other far Eastern ports.
China and Japan must expect to be
fed by foreign countries for years to
come, and our close proximity to them,
gives us. the commercial right to gain
this business, and open new market
for our immense surplus of wheat, and
other cereals, and of all of our manu-
featured articles.
Mr.. Hill was strong in his belief that
the American commonwealth should
subsidize steamship companies in
opening this commerce, just as she
was subsidizing the American line of
steamers on the Atlantic coast, and
just as she has subsidized transconti-
mental and other railroads in the past.
Every word that fell from Mr.. Hills
lips on that memorable evening was
the instructive business peep into the
American commercial world of years
to come. 1t was prophecy and stock
of advice that if it is carried out, as we
firmly believe it will, will give Ameri-
can farmers and American business
men prosperity for centuries to come.

Department stores make their hit
by advertising. Their advertisements
reach the people who are the right pa
irons of local institutions, but the To-
cal houses failing to advertise their
bargains, lose the business. A local
store can sell the same article just as
cheap, but in order to sell it, the pub
lie must know about it. To know
about it the merchant must tell the
public through the medium of his
home paper.

The county furnishes the sheriff,
the register of deeds and clerk of court
with office rent, stationery, blanks, etc.
The sheriff, aside, has q residence for
himself and family. Every piece of
work done by these officials for the
county is paid for to the full extent of
the fee allowed by law, just the same
as private individual. And yet the
county, by these officials taking ad-
vantage of law almost obsolete, must
pay the postage on business transacted
for their own private gain.

have been performed.

REPUBLICAN, TICKET.
WORK NEXT TUESDAY.

WORK NEXT TUESDAY,.
The Redwood County Republican
convention will meet in this city next
Tuesday. Aside from the important du-
ty of placing in nomination candidates
that will command the respect and
votes of+he people of this county, it
will have higher duty of naming
twelve delegates to the Senatorial
convention to name candidate for
State Senator, and also of nominating
q candidate for the lower house of the
legislature from this county. In con-
nection with the Senator and Repre-
sentative the following article from
the New York Sun of Sept. 5th, is re-
spectfully referred to the convention
for its consideration
The Hon. Cushman Kellogg Davis is going
abroad to help keep the American flag a-f1y-
ing. and it is the duty of Minnesota Ameri-
cans in the Senator's absence, to look after
his political future and insure his reelection
by the next Legislature.
The only fractional opposition to Senator
Davis in his own.State, so far as we are in
formed, arises from difference of opinion as
to the propriety of his course with regard to
certain Minnesota appointment in which
the friends of Ex-Governor Merriam were
deeply interested We do not know that
this controversy will manifest itself in the
canvass or in the caucus 1t ought not to be
heard of again. Even supposing that Mr..
Davis made mistake with regard to Min
nesota appointment, that is no reason why
Minnesota and the country should be de-
prived of the eminently useful services of a
statesman whom that that State and the
whole country need at his present post in the
stirring years to come.
The same spirit of expansion and indomita-
BILE Americanism which has built around
Fort Smelling and Mendoza an imperial
the world, inspires Cushman K Davis to fur
Their efforts for American progress and ad-
vancement.
While he is looking out for the flag, let the
Minnesota Republicans look out for him.
1t is pretty generally conceded that
the candidate for Senator will be Hon.
George w. Somerville of Sleepy Eye,
an outspoken Davis man and one of
the brsinest attorneys in Minnesota.
The principle work of the delegates
in that convention is to see that Mr..
Somerville has IL delegates who will
stand by him from post to finish. It
will be IL men who will stand by G.
K. Davis, more than Mr.. Somerville.
This can be done by allowing Mr..
Somerville to select his own delegates.
In connection with representative
there is only one candidate mentioned
up to the present time James A. Lar
son of Johnsonville, who represented
this county in the last session.
Whether other candidates appear
makes little difference, but the dele
gates to the convention should see
that the man they nominate for. this
important post is for the return Of G.
K. Davis-not just for the time OF
nomination, but a man who has been
