River News.

The river is rising again as the re-
suit of the rains Tuesday and it is ex-
pected that it will reach a stage at
least as high of not higher than during
the rise last week. The marks on the
wharf last evening showed a little ov-
er ~ feet of water in the channel and
it will probably reach the 17-foot mark
today.
Business is quite brisk at the local
wharf. A considerable amount of
freight is being handled, nearly all the
boats carrying almost their full capac-
ity. The passenger business is good
for this season of the year.
All the big packets are now out and
are running regularly. The local craft
are also maing regular trips.
No more coal passed down yesterday
but there will be more coming within
a day or two. The amount that has al
ready gone down is not sufficient to
fill the demand.
Boats yesterday were as follows:
The Bedford for Wheeling, at 6 a. m. !;
Lorena for Plttsburg, noon; Green
wood for Pittsburg, p. M; Kanawha
for Charleston, p. m.
Today's packets are the Virginia for
Pittsburg and the Queen City for Gin
cinnatl, both at p. m.

New Oil Company With ST.
100000 Capital.

Another big oil company is about to
begin operations in this vicinity and
its organization includes some of the
most desirable shallow sand territory
in this State. The new company is to
be known as the Anglo-American Oil
& Gas Co., with the principal offices at
Chicago and field Offices in this city.
The company has an authorized
capital stock of $1,000,0OO, with a paid
up stock of 100000 All the stock has
been sold, and the greater majority of
it is held by Arthur E. Stillwell, of
Chicago; William Carr, of GAINESVILLE,
O.; F. E. Mallory and S. T. Mallory, of
this city, and ]. F. Mallory and ]. w.
Stewart of st. Marys.
Arthur e. Stlllwell is the only
stranger to the oil fraternity. He is
president of the Pittsburg, Kansas &
Gulf R. R. and also a director of the
Guardian Trust Co., 'of Chicago. In
the. articles Of Incorporation, F. E.
Mallory, of this city, is designated as
the president, but in the regular Or
ganizatlon he is to be viceIpresident
and general manager.
In the organization of the new
company Mallory Bros. & Stewart sell
to the stockholders their shallow sand
property in Peasants county for $780,
900, for which they receive 100000 in
cash and 100000 in stock. Their prop
erty consists of sol acres of land and
80 producing wells. The Mallory Bros.
& Stewart will still retain possession
of their valuable deep sand stuff.
The new company will prosecute op-
erations with vigor and they expect to
secure quite bit of additional shall
low territory and develope it. No
stock is to be put on the market and
consequently the Standard will not
have an opportunity to phase its
tanding.-Sentinel

Supreme Court Says Standard
Oil Company is Not ShownR
To Be Involved.

Columbus, O., Dec. 19.---The Su-
preme Court handed down a decision
in the bribery case OF Attorney-Gener-
al Monnett against the Standard Oil
Company.
The Attorney General furnished in
formation to the effect that he was ap-
preached by Charles Squire, OF New
York, with bribe Of 100000 II he
would permit the cases pending
against the Standard Oil Company to
go by default.
1t was claimed that Mr.. Squire was
the representative of r. F. Squire, Sec
retary of the Standard Oil Company.
Frank Haskell and Frank Rockefeller,
son cf the President OF the company.
The Court knocks the case out of
Court as follows
"Chio ex rel, Attorney-General VS..
The Standard Oil Company; informa-
tlon in contempt Dismissed in the
ground that Che information does not
connect the Standard OIL Company
with the bribery therein"
Minshall, J.-It is my opinion that
the paper filed in the Clerks office
should not be passed on, for the reason
that the charges are not presented in
any recognized form requiring the ac-
ton of the Court, and for the further
reason that no charge Is made directly
or indirectly against the Standard Oil
Company of attempting to bribe the
Attorney-General or any officer of this
Court, in discharge OF the duties in the
proceedings now pending in this Court
charging that company with contempt
in not obeying the former order and
judgment of this Court. An attempt
to brfbe the Attorney-General in any
matter not pending in this Court is not
within its jurisdiction in the first in
stance. Proceedings by Indictment
would be the proper course in such
case, that the party may have trial by
a jury If demanded"

Mothers who suffer undue pain prior to
or succeeding the baby's birth are invited
to consult Dr. R. V. Pierce, by letter, abso-
lutely without charge The great success
which has attended the careful methods
pursued by Dr. Pierce, has caused itnita-
tors to spring up, who make offers of free
advice, which they are not competent to
give, not being physicians, When you
are invited to "write to woman" ask
the simple question, Z" Is this woman
physcian?" You will find that she is
not, and does not, and dares not claim
to be, physician. To offer such advice
is deceitful. To receive it is dangerous.
Prospective mothers should send for
