SCio on the Tnhoggan,

Pittsburg, June 13.-There are still
many rumors afloat as to new strikes
in the vicinity of Scio and adjoining
counties. If all the wells reported were
producers the Sc1o field would be about
25 miles long and 20 in width The
real truth of the matter is there is not
a barrel producer in Harrison conn
ty outside of the defined limits of the
Scio fieid. All the talk about a second
oil boom for Scio is purely imaginary.
When the interior territory has once
been drilled over Scio will settle down
to its former placid condition and re-
tain only so much of its population as
will require to operate the wells and
take care of the production Then,
there is probably room for about 100
more additional wells aside from those
now drilling and then Scio will see its
hnish. The staying qualities of the
wells will make the oil business
source of revenue for both operators
and land owners for many years to
come, but the pyrothechnical display
is a thing of the past
Operations in the Cow Run sand de-
velopment near Hebron, Tyler coun-
ty, are increasing. The new work is
nearly all located inside defined limits.
but some of the more sanguine are
pushing ahead towards Peasants
county and expect to connect with the
development to the north on Middle Is
land creek, in the last named county.
The Carter Oil Co. is the most active
developer of shallow sand territory
near Hebron. 1t has a half dozen
Strings of tools running and has just
made the location for its Both well

Recipes for Longevity,

The Lancet has been discussing old
age. Here is a subject which interests
everybody To the young it is very
important TO Their elders 1t is stln
more so The Lancet thinks that we
live longer than our forefatIers. The
Thought is profound but, in view Of
Mebhuseiah, confusing The Lancet
thinks, too, that old age can be pre-
vented. We are of the same opinion
BY way of remedy an early demise bss
always seemed to us sovereign The
Lancet appears to prefer galvanlsm
If it has tried 1t the result is not yet
apparent in its pages. Meanwhile tho
elixir of youth which Alexander the
Great sought in India and Ponce de
Leon in Florida is not forthcoming,
therapeutically at least, for aximatlc-
ally we have 1t always with us
An English specialist who died the
year before last at an age which was
generally regarded as very young for
him, maintained that it consisted in
omitting everything which we liked to
do and in doing everything which we
don't. We are convinced that he was
right. The things we like to do are
either wicked or injurious, unless they
happen to be both. Another specialist
"a German this time-maintalned
ott ho of tSH
in matrlmony. In support of his the
sis he gave the names of fifty CEN
tenarians all of whom were widowers,
a circumstance which showed, or
seemed to, not that matrimony is con-
ducive to longevity, but rather that the
man who survives can survive any
thing.
Then There was another specialist,
neither English nor German, but
French, who gave a different receipt
to everybody. To one he ascrbed his
gree mold age to the fact that he was
continually in his cups; to a second he
said it was due to the exercise he got
out of repeated assaults and battery.
A third was confidentially informed
that there was nothing like breakfast
ing at midnight, And so forth and so
on. The manufacture of this nonsense
delighted him. He had a secret though
and without suspecting it. 1t was the
faculty of being always amused and
that, with entire Difference to the Ian
Get, we believe is the real one after all.

Marietta College.

This grand institution of learning
has met with good, fortune Over a
year ago the great benefactor DR..
Pearsons, of Chicago offered Marietta
College $3.50 if the college would
raise $4,000 and make II 100000.
There has been a hard struggle toward
securing this gift, but we are glad to
say that success has crowned the ef-
forts of the college people. This is
commencement week there, and the
gathering of old friends and the happy
high tide of graduation and its kind
red joys have been attended with the
liquidation of the college debt and add
ing 100000 to its endowment. This
is grand thing for Marietta. 1t not
only puts the college on it's feet, but it
enables the institution TO catch step.
with the music of progress and ad-
vance to the front rank of educational
efficiency, 1t is a noble college, noble
in its history, its equipment, its pur-
poses, and hencefOrth Marietta will
take the lead.--Ironton Register.

Two Notable Kansas Women,

Mrs, Mary Ellen Lease is NOT the on
ly extraordinary woman that Kansas
claims as her own. Mrs. Jane Douglas
a charming widow of 1O2 summers,
has just become the bride of a gentle
youth of seventy. This is her third
experience in the matrimonial line, but
she has been a lonely widow thirty
nine years before she took up with her
third husband. Her mental faculties
are said TO be a wonder to all who con-
verse with her. She recollects and re-
htes with great accuracy incidents and
da;es an connection with the wars of
1912 and 1885, says she well remem-
bers Generals Jackson and Winfield
Scott, and has talked with both men
on different occasions. Her second
husbands father (Douglasl was
brother-ln-law Of Daniel Boone.-Der-

The Possession Of Wealth,

When man is luted out of the posi-
tion of irksome poverty and can have
plain wholesome food in clean, sani-
tary home, after this the additions
made by abundance of money go for
very little. They may gratlfy love OF
show, fee.ngs Of self-consequence and
abnormal cravings, but in doing so
they do not increase happiness, but
lessen ii. The one great chasm is the
chasm which separates real poverty
and hardship from a reasonable com
petence.-Wortham Telegraph.

''The sweetest place on EARTH" said
a state house official after a trip to Il
linois, "is in Menard county, Illinois.
AT that place the school house is
named HOneyheart and it is located in
Sugar Grove township, on Sugar creek
The postoffice is called Sweetwater and
the school teachers name is Miss May
Sweet. All this sweetness is brought
about by the fact that the town is To-
Gated in clump of sugar trees, the on
ly ones in the state"

The hand of John r. Mclean begins
again to Overshadow the Ohio political
horizon. McLeans' objective point is
the United States senate, and he is
fixing to arrange to step into Foraker's S
shoes. 1h4s year his scheme is to stir
up trouble between Foraker and Pres
ident McKinley's friends, so as to pre-
pare the way for Judge Nashs defeat.
But in this game Mclean will be badly
disappointed, as the whole Republican
state ticket will be elected Mclean
is nursing all the Democratic candi-
dates for governor, especially Xii
bourne and Haskell, but when the con-
Vention comes ne will play some trick
as ne did two years ago, when he
knocked down Hough and Welty to
give way to Chapman Democratic
candidates are only wax figures in the
hands of McLean.-Ohio State Journal.

How many people in the city paid
any attention to Flag Day Wednesday?
Did rhe excitement of Commencement
week cause all patriotism to climb
away up on the back seats and not
come down to display "Old Glory" to

that Flag Day was forgotten? Our

GIVE THE CHILDREN A DRINK

called Grain-O. 1t is a delicious, nour-
ishing food drink to take the place of
coffee. Sold by all grocers and liked
by all who have used ii because when
properly prepared it tastes like the
finest coffee, but is free from all its in
furious properties. Grain-O aids dl-
gestion and strengthens the nerves.
1t is not a stimulant, but a health
builder, and children, as well as adults
can drink it with great benefit Costs
about One-quarter as much as coffee.
