Eandell came before the council and
explained to them that all the ladies
wanted WIS temporary use of any
spare room which the new city hall
| might have for them to use as Ii
| brary room, until they could erect {
| nice public library building
1t was moved and seconded that the
petition be recognized and spread on

Alderman Badger made q motion to
| have all bids for the plans accompanied
by certified check to the amount o.
$500, because, he said, I'VE only have
the $50, 900 to spend on this hall anC
the specifications may call for hall tC
cost that much and then when we be-
gin to build and are nearly finished we
may find that the hall is going to cos,
more than that amount, for that is
often the way with the specifications
which these architects draw
up" Alderman Scott told
him that there were no outside archi-
tects to furnish specifications in these
bids and asked him il he thought the
Ell Paso architects would try to do up
the city? Alderman Badger said that
he didn't think they were as liable to
do the city as an outsider, but he
thought that it was only fair that the
matter should be treated this

The motion was seconded and passed
At this point Mayor Msgoffin stated
to the council that he had seen Willard
PATTERSON, who is attorney for Mr..
Sheldon, and tried to compromise the
matter of leaving a thirty-five foot
opening on the east side of the TRAN
gular piece of ground. and told Patter-
con that the city would give twenty
feet of the proposed thirty if he (Shel-
DOM would give the balance, but Mr..
Patterson fatty refused to compromise
the matter, saying thathis client want
ed the thirty-five feet from the city or
nothing.
Under the call for bills and COM
munications a petition was read for
Byron Dean asking that he be given
permission to erect a small frame
building in block pa of the Campbell
addition. This petition was referred
to the fire and water committee.
A petition was read from Chas. Le-
sinsky by S. J. Prudential agent,
asking that he be paid the amount of
sl425 on the warrant he holds against
the city for S2717. 40. 1t was moved by
Alderman Clifford that Sl4OO be paid
on the warrant and that the city treas
urer be ordered to indorse across the
face OF the warrant the amount paid on
said warrant.
j. II. Comstock asked the city coun-
Gil to give the city cemetery a record
book so that a record of all city's
paupers could be kept for future re-
ference, and also that he be given a
lock for the gate of the clty's ceme-
terry, so as to protect the movable pro-
perty.
The city's delinquent tax rolls for
the year of 1896 were presented to the
council and the city attorney was
authorized to bring suit against all de-
lipquents.
AS the council at its last meeting ad-
vertised for sealed bids for doing the
city's official printing and for burying
the pauper dead, and as there was no |
other work on hand, the city clerk was
ordered to open the bids.
The bids for the printing work were
the first opened and were as follows: |

ten mistaken in the prices OF oil.
1t will still go higher and very
much higher.
The Parkersburg papers have not
heard of the Marshal we'll.
They have also ceased very sud-
denly to reprint D. S. WIS report.
The fact is they have lost all inter-
est in Oil developments up here.
This is the way the little liars
avoid telling its readers what is re-
ally going on here.
The talent is thoroughly excited
over the strike made by Captain
Jones on the Marshal farm. The
Phenomenal increase in its produc-
ton since Saturday leads to the
first excitement and there is moth
ing else heard or talked by the op-
orators. The well was agltated
Saturday evening and from that
time until yesterday evening it
flowed at intervals Of 20 minutes.
Each flow placed from IS to 20
barrels of oil in the tank. Every
thing in sight has been leased in
the neighborhood of the well and
in all cases big rentals were paid.
The South Penn Oil company
leased the Billy" Rice 81 acre
tract Saturday for bonus Of $500
and monthly rental Of $50 per
month.
Higher prices have been paid for
territory nearer the well.
Some half dozen locations have
been made and the rigs will be
built at once.
The Carter Oil company have To-
Gated a we'll on the Thistle farm
almost due north at a distance OF
nearly 500 feet.
Capt. Jones has located Nos. 2
and three Marshall, No. Martha
Parr, and No. I Joshua Martin.
Many believe the we'll is located on
a narrow streak of oil and pool of
any large area has not been tapped.
There is, however, sufficient room
between the old Sistersville field
and the Marshall farm for consid-
cradle pool. While pool may
not be developed, this territory will
be thoroughly tested in al direc-
tons.
In the northwest extension of
the Elk Fork pool, Harvey, Hagan
& Co. are due today at their No. I
Glendenning. This we'll is slightly
ahead of developments to the north
east and IN case a producer is the
result, will cause other wells to be
drilled.
In the Hebron shallow sand pool
the wells which were expected to
be completed today, have been de-
layed and both are fishing for lost
tools. The wells are: Cusick,
ZONES & Co. S No. I Gat-el and the
South Penn's No. 5 Meter.
Near Friendly the shallow sand
stuff is attracting considerable at
tention and operations are assuming
a busy air. Mccormick and Neely's
No. Martin continues to make a
little more than 100 barrels per day
while Holden and Barnsdall's No. 1
on the same farm, is doing more
than half that amount. Both COM
panies have recently made several
locations and the rigs will be start
ed within the new days.
More than a year ago Nicely and
Others drilled a we'll on the Hugh
Thorn farm, which proved a failure
in the shallow as we'll as the Ipjun
sand. They RACED the rig and
moved all material away, Last
week they returned to take the
lease, but Mr.. Thorn exacted nice
sum of money and an interest in a
completed we'll before he would
permit them to drill. A location
was made Saturday, the rig started

duction, are making preparations to
resume work and September Ist
should see operations in that locali-
ty comparatively active.
The Hickman Oil company will
drill other wells soon on the Hick-
man heirs, while the South Penn
and Victor Oil companies will start
up on adjoining farms.
The test we'll on the John Wood
burn farm is going down slowly.
The tools were lost in the we'll the
early part of last week, and were
not recovered until Saturday.
Shay & McMullen are due to-
morrow at their Nos. 2 and 3 Bob
len, on Elk run, Washington coun-
ty, Ohio.
From Tuesdays Daily.
The drilling in of the big well on
the Marshall farm is important for
many lessons but the Review d.
reefs the attention of the public to
two things in connection with this
we'll. The first is, the fact that
this we'll goes to demonstrate our
oft reiterated statement that this
whole county is full of rich oil
pools. We believe that no intelli-
gent person will dispute this prop
osition. Tyler county has often
been spoken of as being a second
Butler county field and its history
bears out the statement. No one
we'll or series of wells condems any
part of the county. The whole
county is full of rich pools and
there is no question at all about
this proposition. AS in years past,
so in years and years to come will
big oil pools be opened up in this
county.
The other matter this Marshall
we'll demonstrates is the tact that
in section of the county in which
the oil producers has persisted IN
drilling a number Of wells has there
been a failure in getting a big pool
ofoil. It was this way On Indian
creek, at Conway, on Elk Fork,
Hebron, Middle Island creek and
now on Buffalo. where number Of
wells have been drilled in before,
but at last a big we'll comes in and
the pool sought for is discovered.
Manager Armstrong, who, like
George Washington, can but won't
eXagerate, says the Marshal we'll
made $50 barrels Sunday and 500
Monday. The we'll is increasing
every day, and this shows that there
is something back of it. Mr.. Arm
strong thinks Mr.. Joshua Martins
farm is right in the pool. The farm
is about a mile long, and they think
I the pool runs the entire length OF
the farm. Mr.. Martin is an old,
honored and respected citizen of
Our county, and we are sure that
all who know him will join with us
in extending congratulations over
his splendid prospects of having to
cut coupons for living hereafter.
We trust his farm is full of the rich
fluid.
The Marshall we'll is only the
beginning OF plenty of work for all
in the oil field. Add to this we'll
the Gordon 800 barrel we'll on
Wilson run, E miles away, then add
to these the new shallow sand pool
back Of Friendly, then Elk Fork
and so on and you see we are not
entirely out of business yet.
Recent developments in the
oleaginous world are causing the
operators who have been away on
their vacations to return home.
They are not only delighted with
the present market conditions but
the fields have developed encour.

up perceptibly all over the south

SPLENDID WELL.

Gordon & Co. completed their
No. 3 Reed in the Wilson Run pool
and have a splendid producer.
Opinion differs as to its maximum
capacity but $50 barrels would be a
a fair estimate from advices recelv-
ed by rs direct from the well.
THE MARSHAL WELL.
Captain Jones we'll on the Tom
Marshal farm continues to increase
in PRODUCTION. Yesterday the act
ual guage Of the oil showed that it
produced $50 barrels in less than
- hours.
Th eSouth Penn and Cusick Jones
| & Co. are reported still fishing at
their respective wells on Brush run
in the Hebron pool. These wells
were due yesterday, and parties
who have nearby interests are i'm
patiently awaiting their completion
The too,s have been recovered
from the test we'll on the John
Woodburn farm, and it is drilling
again.
Oil has at last reached the dollar
mark, Or the highest price since
November, 1896. On Monday
morning the Producers and Rein
ers' company opened their price at
one dollar per barrel for credit bal
ances in their line, and at noon OF
the same day the Seep agencies adj
vanced their price to the same fig
ure.
From all appearances and indica
tons, the markets of the world
fully justify the price, and if field
conditio is may be considered as in
dicating values to the smallest de-
gree, it would seem that still higher
prices must prevail. Each day
brings in a long list of dry holes
and small wells, and the gusher
territory seems to have disappeared
from the maps.
Producers who have beenso fortu-
nate as to escape the robbing prices
which has for many months been
forced upon the trade, and have
been able to hold to their proper
ties now see some encouragement
for the future. The larger holders
of credit balances in the pipe lines
do not feel disposed to sell their
holdings even at the dollar mark,
feeling sure that the conditions of
