tainly is one of the most successful,
having completed the decade of its un-

planned by the fact that it is on a

spirited action of Mr.. Byron thrown
into the leading part of the Ferret.

The Scio Oil Field,

Ptbtsburg, Pa, Jan. 10.--All inquiries
for information from the oil fields are
for the latest news from Scio. From
the eagerness which the developments
are sought after one would think 1t the
only field under way and that lease
within miles of the town was as good
as a fortune. Now the truth of the
matter is the amount of work being
done in that field is out of proportion
to what the discoveries up to the pres
ent time warrant. Operations have
not advanced from a common center.
Distance has been ignored and the
wells drilling will test the territory for
four or five miles east and west and
for a great distance north and south.
There has been no waiting for favor
able indications. Scio has suddenly
been transformed from sleepy college
town of 1000 or less inhabitants to a
bustling oil town and is utterly incap-
able of providing even the toughest
kind of comfort for the oil men that
have flocked to the place from all
parts of the eastern and western oil
fields. In some instances drlllers and
tool dressers have been forced to lodge
in barns and skirmish for grub at any
old eating house or restaurant. Not
wHhstanding the oil men and the bus
mess are dumping many thousands of
dollars into the expansive palm Of the
DuIo citizens all but hotel and restaur-
ant keepers say they are sorry that
Scio Struck OIL" They do not like
the noise and excitement. 1t keeps
their nerves unstrung and their slum-
bers are less peaceful than formerly,
when the midnight express on the
Panhandle railroad rushed through
the town without stopping and was the
only thing that broke the Stiffness.
The town council has lost no time in
devising ways and means to make the
oil man pay for his intrusion. 1t has
passed an ordinance to levy tax of
$100 on each well in the town, but
when it was discovered that ordinance
could not stand legal test it was an
nulled and a substitute offered to make
those sho desired to drill take out a
license and for issuing the same "a fee
of $100 would be collected. At meet
ing of the same body last Monday
night the ordinance that had been
passed last week fixing tax of from
five to 20 cents foot on oil, gas and
water lines was recinded and one of
rs cents rod substituted.

Next Door"

The Brothers hoyer presented the
farce Next Door" at the Auditorium
last evening to fair sized house. The
show as an educator is not of the
highest prizewlnnig capacity, but a
few of the features were never pro-
duced on the Auditorium stage so well
lefore. The acrobatic act was mag
nificient and Sherman, the Anatomical

MATRIMONY IN AFRICA.
Many of the Native Traders Have
Wives In Every Town
They Wait.

The sailor who had wife in every
port he visited has his counterpart in
the native trader of West Africa who
has wife in every village with which
he trades. There is one important diff
ference-Jack's wives helped to spend
his money, whereas the traders wives
help to make it. Mrs. Kingsley tells us
of the custom, and also gives the eXpla-
nation.
1t would be useless for the trader to
sit at home and wait for his customers
to come to him, because each village is
usually at feud with all the neighbor-
ing villages and the inhabitants dare
not venture beyond their own district
on pain of being robbed at first and
eaten afterward. On the other hand,
it is obviously n risky thing for black
trader to travel from village to village
with an assortment of the very goods
best calculated TO arouse the cupidity
of the guileless African. To lessen the
danger he resorts to frequent matrl-
mony. In every village he takes wife
from one of the most important fami-
lies and so secures faction who favor
him. The African wife is not subject
to jealousy, and so each of the wives is
more than content TO have husband
who can keep her supplied with cloth
and beads 10 outshine her neighbors.
Her male relatives are proud of her con-
nection with so important a man, and
hope besides to be especially favored in
matters of business. In return they
take his part in disputes and help him
to collect his debts and treat him gem
orally as n respected member of the
family.

Fifty-One Bridges for B & OR R.


Baltimore, Jan. 11.-One of the lar
gest bridge contracts that has been
awarded in many years has been let
by the Receivers of the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad. In order to place the
lines west of the Ohio river in proper
shape to handle the heavy freight
equipment that is being used east of the
river, the Receivers found 1T necessary
to rebuild 81 bridges between Ben
wood, w. Va, and Chicago. That the
structures might be rapidly pushed to
completion it was decided to divide
the work among three companies.
The YOUNGSTOWN Bridge Co., Of
Youngstown, will erect 81 bridges on
the Central Ohio division, between the
Ohio river and Newark, o.; the Pen
coyd Bridge Works was awarded the
II bridges on the Lake Erie division,
Newark to Sandusky, and the Edge
Moor Bridge Co., of Wilmington, Del,
will erect the nine bridges needed on
the Chicago division.
The total cost of these bridges is in
the neighborhood of $780, 900 and it is
expected that all will be in place by
September. Nearly six thousand tons
of steel will be needed for the struc-
lures

Triumph of Love in Art.

A century since, In the north of Eu-
rope, stood an old cathedral, upon one
of tho arches Of which was Il sculptur-
ed face of wondrous beauty. 1t was
long hidden, until one day the suns
light, striking through n slanted win
dow, revealed its mahchless features.
And ever after, year after year, upon
the days when for brief hour 1t was
thus Illuminated, crowds came and
waited eagerly to catch but glimpse
of that face. 1t had II strange history.
When the cathedral was being built an
old nan. broken with the weight of
years and cares, came and besought the
architect to let him work upon 1t. Out
of pity for his age. but fearful lest his
failing sight and trembling touch might
mar come fair design, the master set
him TO work in the shadows of the
yaulted roof.
One day they found the old man
asleep In death. the tools of his craft
laid in order beside him, the cunning of
his right hand gone, his face upturned
to this other marvellous face which he
had wrought there-the face of ont
whom he had loved and lost in his early
manhood. And when the artists and
sculptors and workmen from all parts
of the cathedral came and looked upon
that face they said: "Thls Is the grand
est work of all; love wrought this.-

All but the sumner

One who meets with n dlsappo.nt-
ment is fortunate indeed II he can make
somebody else responsible. Witness
the Italian farmer who decided that,
better late than never, he would hear
one Of Nerd's operas:
He took his ticket, Travelled up to
Milan from the very depths of the coun-
try, and securing a good seat, listened
ia aida" but he did not like the
music at all, and he wrote to the COM
poser to say so.
Under the circumstances. the farmer
added, he hoped that Verdi would see
the reasonablness of at once returning
him his money. There was his railway
fare, his ticket of admission and his
supper at Milan, for which he enclosed
the bill.
The maestro entered fully into the
humor of the situation. He wrote back
n polite letter regretting that his music
had failed to please, and enclosing the
railway fare and the price of admis-
sion.
But he added that as the farmer
would have had 10 provide himself
with supper at home. he could not adj
nit the justice Of that part of the
claim, and he absolutely declined 10
pay for the supper at Milan.-Youth's
