Natural Gas Failing in Indiana.

Dealing with the life of the natural
gas field, the State Geologist of
Indiana in his annual report just issu-
ed, says: No unbiased person can
read carefully the report of Mr.. ]. M.
Leach, State supervisor of natural
gas, printed in this volume, and not
conclude that we are nearing the end
of the supply of this valuable fuel in
Indiana. The report but affirms
what has been written in the previ-
Gus reports of this department, even
as far back as 1890.
The natural gas field of the State
originally embraced almost 5000
square miles. Today the productive
area is less than halt that size. The
average rock pressure was in the be-
ginning 1926 pounds; todayit is less
than 200.
The State Geologist then goes on
to condemn the great attempt regu-
larly being made to dispute this very
evident fact and that in the face of
eminest scientific authority.

There is nothing more interesting
in the way of news than the letters
of the West Virginia troops at Chick

appear 10 their home papers from
week to week. They are most of
them, spicily written, mirror camp
life with faithfulness all unconscious
in the writer, who studies not the eff
feet, and is wholly outlines of any
attempt to discriminate either as to
what he has to say, or the way he
may elect to say it. Far from being
monotonous, the frequently recurring
letters from the home-sick soldier lad
become more and more entertaining
to the constant reader, y as time goes
on. Some of the writtiest are con-
tributed by Sergeant Henderson,
from Chickamauga, to the Parkers-
burg Journal, from one of which ex-
tracts are appended:
The regiment now stands first in
health, second in equipment and
ninth in drill, and is onsiiered the
best regiment in camp.
One evening not long ago party of
Pennsylyanians attempted to run the
well, guarded by Michigander, and
the Michigan guard was called out to
check them, and in the melee one of
the 'Penns' was struck by the side Of
a beyonet on the forehead and cash
cut. The 'Penns' kicked loudly and
Mich said:
- Don't kick on this, nor come
here next week and try the same, as
the West Virginia Snake Hunters

will run the bayonets clear through
you.

the strictest in camp, thanks to Col
onel Spillman, who is sparing no
pains to have the finest body of troops

who would not give his life for the
colonel or any of the officers"

health OF the regiment and have fitted
the boys out in fine shape.
"Only one death has occurred in the
regiment. 1t belonged to the first

KEY WEST, July 13-The block
ade runner Santo Domingo, which
was recently fitted out in Mexico to
run the Havana blockade has been
destroyed of off the Isle of Pines.
She was supposed to have had on
board several millions of rounds of
ammunition and vast amount of
stores for the beleagured city. The
details of the capture have not been
received here The capture, howev-
er, is believed TO have been one of
most important ones of the warsand
makes the condition of Havana a
most desperate one. 1t can resist a
siege but short time. Had the
supplies reached there it would have
been in much better shape for resist
ance and long fight before surren-

SCHOOL BOARD
Hold Their Second Meeting on
Tuesday Night.


A Janitor is Elected and the Levy for
the Coming Year Is Fixed--What the
Levy VIII be--A Very Large Increase
I'm the Enumeration for the District.
Two New Teachers will Likely be
Employed Dnriug the Next Year.
One is Certain to be and the Levy has
Been Made so that Two can BE.
Changes In the Building Proposed.
Some DEFY is Caused by The Wrong
Sized Brick Being Sent Everything
is now Running Smoothly.
The new school board held their
second meeting on Tuesday night
and while they did not transact
much business they discussed many
matters which will have to be attend
cd to and mapped out a line Of poll
CIV which they will follow. The mem
bers have become accustomed to
their duties and they are getting
along well in their new position
They elected a janitor for the next
year. There were a good many APP
plicants for this position and they
took the one who seemed to be the
best qualified for the position. He
will assume charge of his duties on
September lst and will receive sal
airy of $500 beginning then He is
Hervey Snider. His term Of office
will begin then before the building
is ready for occupancy in order that
he may have chance to familiarize
himself with the building, heaters
and everything else about the school
house SO that he can perform his du-
ties as an expert.
The school levy is fixed for the
next year For teachers fund it will
be rs cents, Tor building fund 90 cts.
and for special levy it will be Is cts.
This is an increase over the total
levy of last year of l5 cents but it
was made necessary by the increase
in the number Of school children and
the increase in the expenses to be
met by the board this year. The
increase of the school children

looked after. This year there are
just eighty more.
The examining board will hold
their examination as soon as they
can make the arrangements for it
and the board will then appoint the
teachers Professors Brand and
Hodges and Miss Coyle compose the
examiners. They wanted to hold
the examination this week but will
hardly make it that soon. AS soon
as the result is known the teachers
will be elected by the board Not
very many if any changes are ex-
pected as the present force is very
efficient and painstaking one
Several changes which had been
proposed in the school building
were discussed by the members of
the board but no action was taken
except the appointment of a commit
tee to investigate and report at the
next meeting. The work on the
building is going on all right now.
1t was stopped for few days this
week by mistake on the part Of the
brick. company which sent the wrong
size of octagon brick and the whole
work had TO stop until the right size
could be obtained

THE SHOOTERS RETURN.
Morgantown's three Represen-
tatives at New York are back.


Money and Prizes galore are won by
them. Six Medals, two Cups and
several Money Prizes taken in.-0ne
Second Prize Won by Barthlow.-
More Prizes are to follow Winnings
are near Six Hundred Dollars. Cap.
tain Farrow does well.-Other Notes
on the Contests.
Captain j. r. Miller, Alvin Barth-
low and l. w. Joseph, who have
been in attendance ON the Schutzen-
fest given in New York city by a
large German shooting society, have
returned home. They took a num-
Der Of prizes and are very well salts
fled with the result of their trip
The three were among the best shots
there and they did we'll to come out
as far to the front as they did among
the seven thousand or more shooters
who were there from all over the
country.
Each of them won a gold and a
silver medal whose value is not a
sum to be sneezed at. Resides the
medals two cups were won by Miller
and Joseph which are worth fifty
dollars each. Barthlow came in
second on a target he was contest
ant on and received two hundred
dollars IN gold. Besides this money
prize, the three received one hun
dred and fifty dollars more, so that
between them they have received
about five hundred and fifty dollars
in money and prizes.
They are in for several more
prizes but how large or small they
will be is not known. The shoot
was over before the results in these
contests could be announced, the
prizes will be forwarded by mail.
The men do not think that they will
be very large, but there is no telling
what they will be until they are re
ceived
Captain Farrow was in attendance
on the shoot, and while he took no
very large prizes his winnings were
considerable as he showed up well
on everything. This may be taken
as some credit to Morgantown as he
was formerly resident of this place
and his friends here will be glad to
learn that he is maintaining his rec,
ord as a crack shot.
The pipe which was given by the
local crowd was won by man from
New Jersey whose name has been
forgotten by those from whom the
information for this article was OBJ
tanned
Taken on a whole the men from
here are very well satisfied with
their success and are deserving of
the congratulations of every one on
their success in the face Of the com
petition that they had to meet.

SUICIDE.
Hon. John b, Laidley Hangs Himself
in the Huntington Jail-Was Locked
Up at the Solicitation of friends.

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, July H.
Hon. John B. Laidley. prominent
attorney well known all over the
State, committed suicide in corridor
of the city jail here this afternoon, by
hanging with rope made Of blankets.
Laidly had been drinking heavily for
a week past, and his own relations re-
quested that he be locked up last
night, with the hope of restoring him
to state of sobriety. The turnkey
was amazed this afternoon on enter
ing the jail tosee Laidley suspended in
midair. He had evidently been dead
two hours.
He was AS years old and served in the
State legislature and was prominent
in politics. He graduated from the
University of Virginia, twenty years
ago. LaidleY became famous owing
to his suit VS.. G. p. Huntington for
quantity of land on which large
portion of she city of Huntington now
stands. Only few days ago the
snit was decided in the Supreme
Court in Laidley's favor after twenty
years litigation. Laidley was given
possession of the property and he i'm
mediately became intoxicated and
died in that condition.

THE Chiffon SHORTAGE.
Half Is Paid and the Other Half Sure
to Be Realized on Judgment
Against Charleston Property.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, July r.
The state authorities are assured that
within short time the entire amount
Of the now famous Chiffon shortage,
will be recovered to the state treasury,
and that by the course which has
been pursued by the administration,
not one dollar will be lost, except the
81, 883 Of the original amount OF the
$28, 900, which, it was held, could
not be collected legally.
Before any payment was made, the
shortage, less the amount named, was
$685. Some time since, as has al
ready been announced, the sum Of &c.
800 was paid by Chiffon, and on last
Tuesday another installment Of ST.
240 was paid, making $13, $40 in all.
This leaves $12, 400 still due the
state, and Attorney General Rucker
has taken the steps which will secure
this to certainty, by entering judg-
ment against the property in Charles
ton, owned by Mr.. Chiffon, and which
has been appraised at $3.50 above
all mortgages upon it. Beside this,
Chiffon is interested in quite large
amount of other property in the state
in the way of lands, which he has
been unable to realize upon. General
Rucker is confident that within a
brief time, perhaps very few days,
the entire amount will be in the
treasury and the incident closed.

The WAR PROGRESS.
A Few of the Things that have
been done in the last
tWenty-four hours.

tWCiily lOul lloul o.
Toral for the third time
has refused to surrender
Santiago.
Why he made the offer to
surrender by running up a
white flag and then refusing
the terms which were offered
him is hard to understand.
The firing at Santiago has
not been resumed. General
Shafter has occupied the time
by strengthening his lines.
The heavy rains have inter
fered some what with opera
ftions. 1t drove the men out
Of the trenches and made the
',roads simply impossible.
The American lines now
completely invest the city and
f the Spaniards have not al
eady retreated from the
doomed city they cannot now
get out. 1t is reported that
they have made the run for
It while the negotiations for a
surrender were going on.
i Small detaehments have been
caught at this and driven
back by an artillery fire. How
many have succeeded is not
known.
In many places dummy
gun and men have been found
IN the Spanish trenches by
bur men and this has added
Ito the belief that the enemy
1 has skipped.
I In Washington it is thought
] that Blanco is the thing that
keeps Toral from surrender
Eng. Here however there are
many officers who fear that
when the nest is entered the
birds will be found to have
flown.
& Proceeding the last truce
the city was fearfully bonn
8barded and many Of the in
I habitants killed. The guns Of
the vessels doing the fighting
did terrible execution. They
J we're signally from the shore
as to the results of the fire
and kept it up nearly all day.
1 Danial is made by the I'm
4 ted States that they have
] yer made any proposition
A looking towards peace. The
4 first propositions must come

The final attack on the city
las been delayed from
! lay to day but it is authorita
vely announced that it will
axe place to-day.
The New York Herald says
mat General Miles has taken

Richard Brinsley Sheridan, the bril-
liant orator and dramatist and auda-
cious manager, was what the beaks of
Scotland Yard would call a downy cove.
He was dining at a friends house n
evening and found himself much beset
by one OF his fellow diners OF the giddy
old maid brand.
"Ah. my dear Mr.. Sheridan" she sim
pered, II should so love TO take a walk
cut with you this evening"
The willy Sheridan was startled at the
prospect. "Oh, DEAR" he replied, in q
tone OF well-feigned regret. my dear
Lady Blank, it's raining cats and dogs.
I'm afraid / shall have 20 forego the
pleasure until IL clears on"
Fifteen minutes later the alert spin
ster, who did not repose entire trust In
Sheridan's~ sincerity, detected him In the
act OF sneaking out through side door.
"Oh, Mr.. Sheridanl" she exclaimed,
''has IL really cleared up?"

laws under which the Natchez Indians
