ANOTHER Big ONE.
Forty Barrels an Hour Coming
Out of the Ground.

Sarah +. Eddy Farms come In with
Another Tremendous Producer-M Nc.
Dermott aud Company are the Lucky
Owners-0nly One Dry Hole has been
Found on this Farm so far-Yery
Good Production from the Rest OF the
Wells.
Another big we'll has been added
to the number of producers on the
Sarah f. Eddy farm in Battelle dis
trict this county. This is the mum
Der five and came in on Saturday
night When the drill first touched
the sand it began TO make about ten
barrels an hour.
The drill was sent deeper and on
Monday morning telephone com
munieation showed that the well
was making forty barrels an hour.
This is the best of any well on the
place and mean that the rest of them
drilling will have better show of
coming in good.
Only one dry hole has been found
on this farm and the rest OF the wells
are producing upwards of six hum
dred barrels day as steady pro-
duetion. They have hit their gait
and will not fail below this very
soon. The present well which is do
ing so much need not be expected to
make as much as it is now doing for
very many days. 1t will soon run
down to its normal production but
with all the shrinkage it will make
very fine we'll
Col. McDermott who is one of the
principal owners of the well has been

is also interested was out but he re-

these gentlemen are feeling very

very well pleased over the produc-
ton that they are receiving every

Cooking Versus Dancing.
Pittsburg News.

The board Of Regents OF Morgan
town university is composed OF sensi-
BILE, hard-headed men. At their re-
cent meeting two important pieces OF
business were transacted; the annual
commencement ball was abolished and
a cooking school under the name "De-
partment Of Domestic Science" estab-
lished in connection with the college.
1t is stated that the commencement
ball for years has been attended by
but very few students, large major
ity OF the participants being outsiders
although the function was presum-
ably under the auspices of the college.
But the fair co-eds who are thus de-
priyed OF their dance will not be per-
mitted TO waste away with ennui.
The wise regents have provided in the
cooking school substitute for the
giddy whirl Of Terpischore, where the
most useful and fascinating of all
sciences may be studied under the d.
rection OF culinary experts. When
in years to come the co-eds are all pro-
vided with happy, well-fed husbands,
they will bless the regents for their
far-seeing wisdom and benefcence.
Women have not been slow to real
ize that the way TO mans heart is
through his stomach. The heavy
hearted husband is likely to be the
one who has to eat heavy biscuit at
breakfast. Cold coffee makes a hus-
band hot. Every good housekeeper
has these aphorisms craven on her
heart. She realizes that it is not
money but good cooking that makes
home happy and prevents divorces.
College girls should be taught this
great truth, and initiated into the
mysteries of the perfectly appointed
kitchen. Thus will the matrimonial
chances OF the educated maiden be in
creased ten-fold, and in the course of
time (who can tell?) possibly the race
of spinsters may become extinct. The
Morgantown regents deserve the
thanks Of their community for their
efforts to promote this most desirable
state of affairs.

BIG COAL PURCHASES
Being Made in Marion County by j. NJ.
Guffey, of Pittsburg.

From time to time the Free Press
has made mention of the coal pur-
chases being made in this and ad-
joining counties by James Hair for
j. NJ. Guffey, of Pittsburg. During
the last year or so Mr. Hair has pur-
chased coal under two hundred and
siXty-six farms, in this county
During this spring and at the pres.
ent time Mr.. Hair is paying through
his agents at the rate of about ten
thousand dollars week for coal and
this week he will pay out some $S,-
600 Not very long ago he purchas-
ed $500 acres of timber lands in
Preston county at fair price. He
has also bought considerable coal in
Green County, Pa, on Dunkard
creek, and recently be figured in a
transaction in which about $4,000
was involved in the deal Since Jan
uary of this year Mr. Hair has paid
out for coal in this county about
$4,000 dollars for Mr. Gntfey.
Marion county is almost entirely
underaid with coal, and that part
of it laying convenient for develop
ment is being taken at a good price.
In fact it is about all taken up that
can be gotten hold of
Mr.. Hair expects to buy a great
deal of coal the present year.-Free

TORN UP.
PAYERS and Plumbers are Tearing
Spruce Street up i'm Every
Direction.

Spruce street is very much torn up.
Vehicles can not get along the lower
end of it at all. The upper end is
still open and will not be closed for
some time yet. From Peasants to
Walnut street the PAYERS are in full
control. They are putting in the
curb and getting ready to place the
brick on the street.
The curling is being put In with
foundation of crushed stone and it is
being done according to the speciflca-
tions. Every one who is noticing the
progress Of the work is of the opinion
that the contractor is trying to do
what is right.
Brick laying will begin before very
long and the pavement will soon be
ready for use. Attention will then
be turned to Peasants street which
is being left just now on account of
the lack of curbing.
The upper end of Spruce that is
torn up is receiving the attention Of
the plumbers who are putting in new
lines for water and gas. This done
once there will be no need Of disturb
ing the pavement for any reason.

Work has been begun on the tank
which was burned at the Pump Sta
ton recently, beginning on Monday
morning. 1t will be torn down to the
bottom and a new one built in the
same place. The bottom of the tank
was not injured and it will remain
where it is. The banks around all of
the tanks are being strengthened and
the employees will not have any fear
from the spread Of fire in case another
tank gets on fire from any cause.

GLOBE OIL COMPANY.
Corporation is Chartered with
Capital of one Million.

Five well Known MOrgantown men Get
Charter to do an Extensive Bust
ness in Oil, Gas and other Minerals
Who the IncOrporatOrs are-What
They are Doing and What They Ex-
pect to do Hereafter.
Morgantown people have been TAX
ing great deal of interest in the oil
developments Of the country in this
section and they have invested rather
heavily in this industry. In some
cases they have received very flatter-
ing returns for their money and time
and others have been tempted into the
business. One company at present
which has the Eddy farm is making
mint of money from their operations.
Another company has been formed
to go after the greasy stuff. A GER
tifiicate Of Incorporation was granted
to them on Saturday by the Secretary
of State. They start off with an
authorized capital stock of one million
dollars. The charter gives them the
right to operate in oil, gas and other
minerals.
The incorporators are G. r. Hayes,
J. c. Pckenpaugh, j. G. McVicker,
Forney Donley and G. G. Steele. Mr..
Pickenpaugh is the general manager
and Mr.. Steele is secretary and treas
urer of the organization.
The company will meet and organ
ize as soon as they can and within a
couple of weeks they will get down to
business. They do not want to give
out much information about their
movements just yet but the first oper-
ations that they will make will be on
the j. p. Donley farm near Mount
Morris.
They have number of other farms
in that vicinity under lease and will
attend to them as soon as they can
get things under way. The company
is composed of some of our best known
business men and they will make a
hit in their new venture if careful
and wise business methods are Of any
avail We wish for them abundant
success
With the development in Battelle
district and the well to be drilled in
the vicinity of Clinton Furnace to-
gether with the operations of the new
company and the others in which
Morgantown people are interested we
shall soon be deeply engrossed in the
progress of the development that will
be taking place in this county or
near it.

THE CHANGE.
New Arrangement - Mail ON all
Trains on Sunday.

The change in schedule took place
on Sunday and we now have the same
trains on Sunday as on any other day.
They all carry mail to Morgantown
although there is still no mail clerk
on them and letters cannot be mailed
on the trains. The morning and
evening trains did not bring much
mail on the first day of the change be-
cause the clerks and postmasters had
not been notified to put mail on them
until the day was partly spent.
The people living along the line
were out in full force to see the extra
trains run on Sunday and the evening
train stopped at every flag station
Many people took advantage of it in
arranging their Sunday excursions.

meet an obligation of the church that
would mature the first Of June. In
about ten minutes the money was
provided and pastor and people were
alike surprised. This was the only
debt owed by this congregation, and
they are to be congratulated that it is
now provided for.

One APIECE.
Varsity Team Gets a Drubbing
at Little Washington.

w. and j. Beats them Out to the Tune
Of Nine to Two-BOys Could not get
on TO Nesbit's Curyes-An off Day oil
Round is Responsible-Sec0 Team
Beats Fairmont Normal With Ease
Score Eleven to one.
One defeat and one victory were
the results ofthe games on Saturday
in which the University was repre-
sented. Washington and Jefferson
proved to be stronger IN the pitch
ing department than the local boys
expected and they were moved down
by the left handed twilrer. They
could not hit HIM at all and he struck
out nineteen men. But two hits were
made off him during the entire game.
This score was nine 10 two.
Nesbitt who did the throwing for
the Washington lads has been in
the Inter State league and has made
a great reputation there. The I'm
iversity boys had an off day and
they did not get their eyes on the
ball at all They will do better when
their rivals come to Morgantown on
Decoration day.
The team from the Washington
nsti tuition is no better in other par
tieulars than the one we have and
the men are confident that they can
make much better showing the
next time they come together. In
the mean time they had better take
some practice again of Printz with
his left hand so that they will be
able to hit the left handed man when
they next face him.
The team came back on Sunday
morning and when they got off the
train they put up big joke on the
crowd at the station. Every man
had his head tied up in some fash
ion. Strips of court plaster adorned
their many faces and one man had
an immense board with his arm tied
on it. Many people were taken in
by the transparent fake and the
rest of the population had lots of
fun out of it.
The team will leave for the west
ern trip on the nineteenth and they
will play Ohio State University,
Ohio University? Ohio Wesleyan,
Denision and others of the best
teams in Ohio. Many of these will
later come to Morgantown for re-
turn games.
The second team defeated the
Fairmont Normal in a good game
by score of eleven to two. The
game should have been a shut out
but the local team wanted to en-
courage them somewhat before max
ing chopping blocks of them. A
large crowd about one fourth Of
whom paid for the privilege watched
the game and cheered it Justify.
The games will be played between
the teams later in the season and
Fairmont will be down there some
day to play Seneca. A close game
should be expected between these
two teams when they meet.
