A.Pieasanf Surprise.

; Among the social events of the
week the most complete in detail
was the surprise party given to
Mrs. Fairchild at her residence
Wednesday evening in honor Of her
birthday anniversary, which was
Tuesday, the 22nd. That Mrs.
Fairchlld would anticipate the event
the ladies who had it in charge de-
cided it should be a surprise and
decided to hold it one day later
AS was her usual custom Mrs. Fair
child attended prayer meeting, re-
turned home, carefully unlocked
her parlor door and was about to
enter, when she was beset by bevy
of voices which came from the
darkness within. To say that she
was completely non-plussed is to
mildly express it.
At the proper time she was ush-
cred into the dining room where a
sumptuous banquet was spread con-
sisting of the choicest viands and
delicacies of the season. This was
about finished when loud ring was
heart at the hall door. Mrs. Fair
child answered the summons in
per ,on, to find two unknown beg
gars with baskets, and the usual
plea for charity. Their looks both
in garb and feature indicated that
they were of the genuine type. For
long time considerable suspicion
was INDUCED in by the ladies as to
their nationality and true mission;
one or two believed them Cubans in
disguise. They were taken to the
kitchen, warmed and fed, and sent
on their way rejoicing. One of them
were very much deformed and had
the appearance of a mute, as she
spoke not a word, but made known
her wants by signs. AS the guests
were about to bid good night
one of the number, in a very wit.
ty speech, presented Mrs. Fair
child with a beautiful rug, gift
from those who had participated il
the delights of the evening. Each
guest received a hand-painted
souvenir from the hostess in mem
DRY of so pleasant an occasion.

a Lucky Incident.

"Soon after the laying of the Atlantic
cable" says the Westminster Gazette,
Lord Kelvin-then known as Professor
Thomson-was racking his brains to
devise some means of perfecting the
ordinary telegraphic apparatus used on
overhead wires, which was not suited
for the varying current passing along
the cables. The tagging of the electric
currents had the effect of making them
run together into one bottom current,
with surface ripples, which correspond
to the separate signals Of the message,
and the difficulty was to invent means
of interpreting clearly and easily all the
delicate fluctuations Unexpectedly one
day Lord Kelvin's eyeglass dropped off
and swung in front of the magnet. The
eyeglass reflected its movements, and
from this simple incident the mirror
instrument was devised"

THE MAINE.
BY COL. w. c. TURNER.

The sun had set in the southern
seas;
The ocean was calm-not ripple
or breeze;
Noble and grand the warship lay,
Like great white bird on Havana's
bay;
Proud as a monarch she breasted
the tide,
AS the moonlight cleaned from her
snow white side;
Solemn and grand as the eye of the
night
Was the fash of her masthead sig
nal light.
Three bells had struck, and the
watch was asleep,
Softly rocked by the mighty deep,
Dreaming of home and the loved
ones there
Who prayed tor their sailor boys a
prayer
To the Father of all, that He might
a guard to those dear ones on the
sea,
And watch DER the lives of those
brave jack tars
Who sailed meath the glorious
stripes and stars.
Off the port bow stood the towers
high
OF, Moro castle against the sky,
You could see the lights of the city
CLEAN
Just abreast of the warship's beam
But no one dreamed of the fearful
fate
of the ship that was named tor the
Pine Tree state;
A mighty warrior clad in steel,
The pride of the nation from truck
to keel.
Without a. single warning cry,
Quick as mad lightning from the
sky,
A crash, a boom, deafning roar,
A mighty groan from shore to
shore:
All God the horror Of that dread
full sight,
Mingling the fires Of hell and
night,
Strewing the bodies of the mangled
brave
Broad cast, to mlngle in a watery
grave.
One wall of grief, one cry of pain,
Ascends to heaven from the
stricken maine"
No eye but weaps. no heart but
throbs,
No breast but beats with broken
sobs,
All nations bow and bend rever-
ent head
In sorrow for the country's dead.
From shore to shore, from wave to
wave,
The world meals morning at
nations grave.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass
with urine and let it stand twenty
four hours; sediment or settling
indicates an unhealthy condition of
the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is positive evidence of kid
ney trouble. Too frequent desire to
urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys
and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney rem
edy, fulflls every wish in relieving
pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of the urin-
airy passages. 1t corrects inability
to hold urine and scalding pain in
passing it, or bad effects following
use of liquor, wine or beer, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of
being compelled to get up many
times during the night to urinate.
The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp Root is soon real
lied. 1t stands the higher for its
wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases If you need medl-
cine you should have the best. Sold
by druggists, price fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have a sam
pie bottle and pamphlet sent free
by mail. Mention the Sisrersville
Weekly Oil Review and send your
address to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bing-
hampton, n Y. The proprietor OF
this paper guarantees The genine-
ness Of this offer.

Esk Fork OIL and 6as Company's Gaze.
Yesterday, after long a bitter
word war, the following decree was
entered in the case, and as we stated
yesterday, the property is now again
in the control of the company, where
it ought to be. The decree as en-
tered in the case is in substance as
follows:
THIS decree was mostly victory
for the Elk Fork Oil company, and
the gist of it was that the accounts
of Receiver Brockunier were re-
ferred to Commissioner Ewing, of
Wheeling, for the purpose of ex-
aiming them and ascertaining the
amount of money advanced by
Foster. ct al, to Brockunier. how
the latter used the money advanced,
how much of it he expended in de-
veloping for oil, and in what wells
was it used, their cost and the
amount of production received
by him from wells drilled; also
as to the accuracy of the COM
mission claimed by him; all of
which questions are to be reported
fully upon by Commissioner Ewing
as soon as he can formulate a re-
port. When the report is ready TO
be submitted, which will doubtless
be the latter part of next month,
the court will again take up the
questions in dispute and finally set
tie then.
But the most important action in
the decree is the removal of both
Observation-Disclosures and McCoSh
and the appointment of new re-
ceiver for all the property, in the
person of L. A. .Brenneman, OF Sis
tersville, who is one Of the heaviest
holders of stock in the Elk Fork
Oil company. Mr.. Brenneman is
required to give $50, 900 bond for
the property that Brockunier had
in his control, and SIS, 900 bond for
that property which McCosh con-
trolled, during the receivership.
This practically places the valua-
bic property in the control Of the
Elk Fork Oil company to direct
and manage.

word of the operator when asked
when he will resume work, is:
when the roads get better" The
road between here and Elk Fork,
and in fact the entire pike is simply
indescribable. Hauling has been
suspended and it is almost impossi-
bic to pass over them on horseback,
most people preferring to walk.
The second pay in the c. c.
Fluharty No. proved to be of little
portauce. The oil produced will
I be from the first pay. Mr.. Yoke re-
turned from there last evening, and
says that the we'll has filled up
nearly 1900 feet, and is standing,
there being such small gas pres
sure. 1t will be given heavy shot
in few days, and be cleaned out
and put to pumping. 1t is thought
that they will have fair producer
when that has been done.

Hill at las, account, and will be
probably for some days yet.
Cobb & Glenn's No. 5 Myers is
still reported making about 100
barrels per day from the second
pay.
The South Penn Oil company's
No. Folger, to the south OF devel-
opments, that has been considered
almost worthless, is making SO bar
rels per day. This we'll has proven
itself a slayer and doubtless a
further extension of the pool in that
direction exists. While the terri
tory may not produce gushers, yet
there is reason for believing that
some fair wells will be developed.
To the south of Developments Boyd
Bros. and others are reported shut
down at No. I Eakin on Gorrelrs
run. This shut down is due to not
having the right kind of casing, and
a great deal of trouble will be ex-
perienced in getting the proper cas-
ing out on the present condition of
the roads.
The Sun Oil company has never
been able to get a boiler to their
location on the Cunningham farm,
west of the Hill farm production.

terday it made two nice flows. 1t

From Fridays Daily
The Seep Purchasing agency ad
varced the price of the credit bal
ances for the higher grade oil three
cents per barrel, while north and
south Lima and Indiana oils were
marked up one cent. This encour,
aging tone of the market is making
the producer who owns some old
"strippers" feel exceedingly jubi'
liant. The dollar oil that has been
discussed in oil circles, from pres
ent indications, will materialize be-
fore the talent had expected. AT
11:45 today cash bids in the ex'
change at Oil City, Pa, was S5c.
At that time indications pointed to
further advance during the day and
some of the latest here. predict poo
as the closing bid. The fields pre-
sent but very few changes over yes
terday and the operator who has
already contracted the drilling fever
is compelled to wait by the condl-
ton Of the road.
The Fisher Oil company has
drilled through the Big Iniun sand
at their Piatt No. 2 in the Benwood
pool, and have dry hole from that
formation. The we'll will be drilled
to the Berea grit. Their No. I on
this farm is producing about 8 bar,
rels per day from that formation.
While this is a very slow invest,
nent yet it pays better that an In

The test we'll on the Block farm
being drilled by Culbertson,S hull &
Company beyond Trail Run is re-
reported completed in the Big In
Jun sand, and is buster.
The shut downea tie we'll ON the
Eakin farm is not received with ap-
plause by those who have holdings
in the immediate vicinity as rentals
are pretty steep. The talent is pre-
dieting a producer, and that Of it
self is sufficient cause to make the
leaseholder restless.
Sam Neeley returned from the
Wilson run field last night and
stated that their No. I Beaver
would make small producer when
shot and cleaned out. They had
expected to shoot it today, but have
been delayed on account OF being
unable to get explosives to the
scene.
