BONA-FIDE CIRCULATION,

A reference to the statement be-
low will show that the circulation
sworn to IS a bona-fide one.
1t Is easily possible for a news
paper with an elastic conscience to
swell its legitimate circulation enor-
mously, in order to deceive adver-
Users, by sending out thousands of
papers to newsstands which are re-
turnable. and which are. in fact, re-
turned, but nevertheless are in
cluded in what purports TO be an
honest statement of circulation.
Intelligent advertisers, however,
Judge by results, and bogus circula-
tons don't give them.

Monday next, and it is understood by
some persons who think they know,
that the deal will bee losed up and the
big plant removed to the new site at
once.
1T is to be hoped that such is the
case, as the plant employees a number

Oil Notes.
YESTERDAYS MARKET.

Clarke G. Co.'S Moore No. 16 reached
the sand Friday morning and shows
for fine producer. The drilling was
suspended when the sand had been
penetrated two feet in order to case
the well.
The Carter Oil Co. have taken up a
block of leases aggregating several
thousand acres in The vicinity of Ce-
darvlle on the Ohio side. In addition
TO the test well they are drilling on the
Ames farm, they will make locations
for several others.
Word was received here Thursday
that the wei several miles back of
Spnman in Mason county had been
drilled deeper and is a good producer
but the matter is being kept quiet
sentinel.
Pltcs, March 9.-Field developments
have grown rather slack in the lower
Southwest fields on account of the al
most impossible condition of the roads
The fields that have been most active
are the worst affected.
At Scio 1T is almost impossible to get
supplies hauled to the field. At Elk
Fork, Tyler county, w. Va, operators
are meeting with the same trouble.
The haul from the Dase of supplies to
the Elk Fork pool Is about IA miles
aud II noStc almost rnnfn IN franc-
port material for drilling from New
Martinsville or Sistersville as the Or
lginal cost price paid the dealer. The
operators in the Big Injun sand devel-
opment on Rich Run, Monroe county,
are confronted with the same trouble
and will delay contemplated new work
Pleasants county, in which is located
the most active shallow sand develop
ments, will not be so seriously handi-
capped. French creek is the farthest
removed from the railroad.
At an early hour this morning Scio
had another narrow escape from a
conflagration. The fire started at a
center of the town, and was caused by
drlller carrying a lamp close to the
tank from which gas was escaping.
The fire communicated to the rig on
the Shambaugh lot and chen to the
Barrett drilling well on the adjoining
lot, and also consumed the rig. A
| |, ,e FOL in, bn i,,,7, inAo wi
cinity and used by teamsters, caught
fire and II valuable horses were burn
ed Fortunately there was no wind
blowing and a slight rain fall at the
time prevented the fire from getting

WILL MOVE THE COLLEGE.
Thetrustees OF the Scio college have
decided 10 remove the college from the
excitement and contaminating infiu-
ncees of the oil boom. They are as yet
undecided as to the future location
Steubenville, Cadiz and GAINESVILLE
have made fattering offers to secure
its location, but nothing has been done.
The action contemplated, if carried in
to effect, will prove a mistake for the
Scloan. The present annoyance oc-
casioned by the oil excitement will
pass away INSIDE of a year or less time
and the rabble VIII disappear. The
people will then begin to see the mis-
take they made by not retaining the
institution that made .I.e town famous

A SEA OF FLAmE..

On the evening of November, a8th, 1873,
a fire broke out in the British ship Melanie,
loaded with 500 barrels of petroleum An
awful mass of flames shot up from the main
hatch and the vessel quivered from stem to
stern with explosion of the barrels. Her
seams opened and the blazing petroleum
poured out into the river, spreading belt
of fire around her The master and seamen
jumped overheard. Captain Sharp, whose
vessel was lying closely, propelled a small
boat through the blazing river and after
severe scorching and imminent peril, saved
the seamen from a horrible death.
All over civilization there are thousands
of men in more imminent danger than were
those seamen. They are threatened with
consumption or are already in the clutch of
that deadly disease. If they only knew it,
help is at hand DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
