University matters, the following
statement is made: 'His (Dr.
Ward's) lectures were approved by

RIGHT OF WAY GRANTED.
Marion County Court gives the Pro-
jectors of the Electric Road the right
to use the County Roads where they
are needed

to use the County Roads where they
are needed.
The promoters of the electric rail
road at Fairmont are going right
along as if they intended to build
the road and they say they are in
dead earnest in expecting that it
will be constructed. The survey is
now completed and the showing
made is most satisfactory. The ex-
pense of building, operating and
maintaining the road is even less
than was expected and the outlook
is said to be very favorable.
The county court has granted the
right of way along and across any
of the roads now in use in the coun-
ty which may be needed by the COM
pany with the proviso that the rights
of the travelling public as they now
enjoy them will not be interfered
with. The projectors of the road
are now in the east looking after the
interests of the concern and they say
that everything is just as nice as it
can be in that direction.

Lightning instantly killed 13-year-old
John Sinovicz and a horse that he was
driving near his home at the Ridge,
back of Archibald, during a terrific
storm prevailing in that region early
last evening.
The boys body was blackened in
blotches and streaks in several places,
and the horses hide had the appear
ance of having been singed where the
bolt made it's path. The wagon was
not damaged to any extent, strange to
relate.
The unfortunate lad was son of
George Sinovicz, a well-known Polish
resident of the Ridge.
The storm was one of the most ter
rife that has visited that region in
years. 1t extended from Priceburg to
Mayfield and far up on the mountain
on either side of the valley.
Between Winton and Archibald many
trees were blown down or felled by
lightning, and flooded streets and cell
lars were the rule rather than excep-
tion in every town in the valley.
The only evidences of the storm felt
in this city were a high wind and
heavy fall of rain for few minutes
just before 6 o'clock.

SCRANTON CAPITAL AND OIL.
Fluid Has Been Found in Bradford
County.

Operators have struck oil in Bradford
county near Lovelton. The we'll is on
the valley opposite Round Top noun
tain and at the foot of Dutch noun
tain. The Wilkes Barre Record says
Of the find
"A company of Scranton capital
lists began operations in this territory
two years ago, since which four wells
have been drilled, and though no oil
was found, gas was struck, one well
started with a pressure of 400 has
steadily increased. and now shows 600
pounds. This well being near the old
one, furnishes fuel for the boilers
which run the machinery for reopen
Ing and further developing this aban-
doned hole. The work is carried on
under the management of B. S. Lewis.
a scranton gentleman, who is not only
superintendent but is also a director
of the company.
AT depth Of 1900 feet four days
ago pocket of gas was struck, and
at 1,SO0 feet oil was found, it having
been taken out with the bailer and
thrown on the dump. When being
caught and put into a vessel, the petro-
leum separated, rising to the surface,
giving indubitable evidence that ii is
genuine oil. What will be the upshot
is not positively known, but there are
prospects for a first-class gas and a
fair oil well.
After reaching the bottom of the old
well, the hole will be further sunk. it
being the intention of the company to
make careful and thorough test. re-
gardless of expense, finally settling the
much mooted question as to the exist
ence of an oil belt in that locality. An
inquiry as to why it is thought that
oil exists in that locality was answered
by saying that the general indications
or the surface convinced experts who
visited the grounds that both oil and
gas were hidden there. In confirma-
ton OF this belief 1t is said that drill
ing discloses the same rocks and sands
found in Western Pennsylvania. But
the existence of oil is already proven
as to the quantity, that has to be
ascertained by further developments. !"

CHICAGO WANTS HIM.
Police Here Asked to Arrest Morris
Eppstein, of Raymond Court.

Norris Eppstein, of Raymond court,
was arrested last evening by Captain
Edwards and Sergeant Dieter. The ar
rest was made in compliance with a
request to that effect sent here by
Chief of Police p. l.. Colleran, of Chi
cago, ILL., Eppstein is now at police
headquarters. No information was con-
veyed in the telegram concerning the
offense he is wanted for. 1t was stated
that explanations would be forwarded
by mail
Eppstein has only been home from
Chicago about three weeks, returning
here in the latter part of July. When
questioned as to a probable reason for
his arrest being ordered from Chicago,
he said that "all he knew was that he
owed for about $50 worth of goods
there" This, of course, is a highly
improbable reason.

How to Economize in the Choice of
School.

Yong people with limited means are
sometimes tempted to choose an in
ferior school in order to save a few
dollars in travelling expenses, or even
in tuition fees. Here is sound advice
for such persons: In selecting school
choose the best. 1t is training you are
after not putting in time. A few
weeks al a good school under live
teachers is better than months at an
inferior school.
Th rates at the Bloomsbury State
Normal school have been made as low
as possible consistent with securing
thorough instruction by specialists.
