Oil Sensation at Cadiz.

Cadiz, O., Oct. 1.-THE widest eX-
citement prevails here owing to the
fact that the first gusher has come in
on the John Kicker farm. Cain &
Co., of New York, came to Cadiz about
three months ago and leased this terri
tory, which is distant from all other
developments. After much trouble in
getting their well down they now have
the best well ever drilled in Harrison
county. Last night, after going about
one screw into the pay sand, the drill
ers were forced to stop work, as the
oil began to flow, and has flowed in a
solid stream since. Oil men estimate
the wells flow at from 90 to 500 bar
rels, and also say that no we'll was
ever drilled in the Scio field that made
such a showing at SO short a depth in
the sand. The sand is OF the best
quality, and is found at a depth of
l,45O feet.
This we'll is located in Green town
ship, about three miles northeast Of
the old Short Greek township devel-
opments, and about two miles east of
Cadz. 1t is thought this strike will
end all wildcatting and settle the oil
men down to business, as they have al
ready spent about 100000 in the Ca
dlz field The quiet little village of
adiz will be thronged to its utmost
capacity if the excitement continues

A Brand-new Political Device.

Another clever scheme of the Nc
Lean workers has just came to light,
A circular has been sent to The lead
ing storekeeper in each of the country
towns, Offering to purchase his bust
ness at a good round price, also in
forming the merchant that the trust
would operate the store and get rid of
the competition. The object is dou-
BILE one: To emphazise the trust busl-
ness, and keep the owner of the shop
in line for the Democratic ticket, in
the hope that he may be able to unload
his stock upon the sender of the circu-
lar at a good round price. One such
Letter was sent to j. o. Beckett, a Dem
ocratic storekeeper at Commercial
Point, Plckaway county, and the mat
ter is causing considerable talk in the
neighborhoOd. OF course Beckett, or
anybody else who receives the circular,
will be able to sell out to the mythical
trust. The deal is well known in the
commercial circles of Franklin and ad-
joining counties, and no doubt has
been used all over the state. The Nc
Lean henchmen evidently presume too
much on the gullibility of the country
storekeepers
