The Full Text of the Measure Passed by
the Legislature

The Full Text of the Measure Passed by

OIL NEWS.
Special to the Register.

Speclal TO the Register.
Ellenboro, w. Va, February 21-The
rig is completed and machinery placed
for the well on the William Vince
farm, near the head of Whisky run,
and spudding will begin during the
week. Thomas Gartlan and Mike Muir
ply are interested in the lease.
The South Penn Oil Company's No.
Z, on the Charles Hayhurst farm, on
Whisky run, was drilled into the pay
yesterday and is making fifty barrels
per day.
The Associated Producers Company
will drill in their No 6, on the Sanford
Bumgardner farm tomorrow, and the
indications are favorable for a good
well, owing to it's proximity to the
latest strike on the Hayhurst farm.
Lamb & Co.'S well on the Alexander
Scaddin lease, on Wolf Pen run, is
buster, and the casing is being pulled.
1t is reported that Col. Ira Dewitt
has made locations for two more wells
near his No. on the T. E. Davis
farm, near Huntsville, which is about
twenty barrel producer.
The Mountain State Gas Company
for Parkersburg and Marietta, and are
preparing to drill a couple of new
wells, one well on the Benjamin Starr
farm and one on David Garrison's land.
One of the locations will be only 1900
feet from the Nederman No. 1, and
should oil be found the we'll will pass to
the control of the South Penn Oil Com
pany.
Lo
ed No. 2 on the Lavelle heirs farm, be-
tween CORVALLIS and Cairo.
The South Penn Oil Company's ven
ture at the mouth of Leading creek, in
Gilmer county, has proven that Berea
producing sand is not found west of
DOddridge county.
An important suit is now on trial in
the Federal Court at Parkersburg that

In the case of the Oberlin College VS..
Mcmillan, Blair, Ash and Pearcy heirs,
which was decided against the college,
and heretofore reported in the Regis
ter, not only gives to the gentlemen
abov named a large block Of fine oil
territory and about $4,000 in money,
but to Hon J. V. Blair it means vindi-
cation of an assault upon his integrity
as an attorney.
The commissioner of internal reve-
nue. has recently delivered an opinion
regarding the internal revenue tax on
oil leases that is of interest. A tax of
one dollar is imposed upon every lease
of a period of time of three years or
over. In the matter of the assign
ment made on the back of a lease I'M
der the revenue act, on each assign
ment or transfer of the lease a stamp
must be affixed of the same value of
the one imposed upon the original in
strument. The tax required on the as
signment of an unexpired lease is not
determined by the interest in or quaint
ity of land assigned, but upon every
such transfer the tax is imposed as in
case of a new lease. Where leases or
trasfers are properly stamped, a
notary's acknowledgement is not re-
quired to have an additional stamp af-
fixed.

A BENW00D BOY
Charged With Stealing a Sum of
Money from His Father--.Claims
He Was Drunk and Knew Nothing
of It--May 60 to the Reform
School--.CaSe Dismissed.

Lewis Georgelein, who keeps a saloon
at the corner of Eighth and Main
streets, Benwood, swore out a warrant
before Justice Dunning yesterday
afternoon against his oldest son,
George, charging him with stealing S24
in money. The warrant was placed in
the hands of Constable 0s Grey, and
the police all over the city were given
a description of the boy and ordered
to detain him. 1t seems that the boys
mother has been separated from his
father for some time. Upon separation
the two boys were intrusted to the
care of their fether by the court. The
mother has been living in Wheeling
since the separation. She has a room
in one of the houses back of IRE COM
pany house No. s, in the Fourth ward,
but lives most of the time somewhere
in the Second ward. 1t was at the
room in the Fourth ward that the older
boy was finally caught by Pauolman
May. He was held at the police sta
ton until he was given over to the
custody of his father and a Benwood
constable.
The boy said that he was drunk and
didn't know what he was doing, If he
took any money. His father is deter
mined to send him to the State re-
form school. He was held for safety
in the Benwood lookup last night, and
will be taken before Squire Riddle Of
that place this morning.
While looking for the older boy yes
terday one OF the police by mistake
brought the younger brother to head
quarters. He is about fifteen years old.
The boy disappeared from Benwood
about a year ago, and nothing until
yesterday could be learned of his
whereabouts. He has been staying
with his mother. His father took him
home last night.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look For tho
Cause.

Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look For tn
Cause
Heart troubles, at least among
the Americans, are certainly in
creasing and while this may be
largely due to the excitement and
worry of American business life, it
is more often the result of weak
stomachs, OF poor digestion.
Real organic disease is incur
able; but not one case in a hundred
of heart trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is be-
cause both organs are controlled
by the same great nerves, the
Sympathetic and Pneumogastric.
In another way, also the heart
is effected by the form Of poor di-
gestion, which causes gas and fer
mentation from half digested food.
There is feeling Of oppression
and heaviness in the chest caused
by pressure of the diStended Stom-
ach on the heart and lungs, inter-
fering with their action; hence
arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the
blood, making it thin and watery,
which irritates and weakenS the
heart.
The most sensible treatment for
heart trouble is to improve the
digestion and to insure the prompt
assimilation of food.
This can be done by the regular
use after meals of some safe,
pleasant and effective digestive
preparation, like Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets, which may be found at
most drug stores and which con-
tain valuable, harmless digestive
elements in pleasant, convenient
form.
1t is safe to say that the regular
persistent use of Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets at meal time will cure
any form of stomach trouble except
cancer of the stomach.

lets sold by druggists at so cents.

ADJUSTMENTS.

OPERA HOUSE-Matinee and night,
Boston Lyric Opera Company.
GRAND OPERA HOUSE-Matinee and
night, Macauley-Patton Company.
Never in the history of amusements
in this city was there so much contin-
uous laughter at any performance as
there was last night at the Opera
House, which was crowded to the
doors, when the Boston Lyric Opera
Company presented THE Mascot"
written up to date. It was a magnifi-
cent performance from the rise to the
fall of the curtain. Not dull moment
was there during the whole presenta-
ton. Miss MISREPRESENTATION was simply
charming as Bettina, being full of life
and chic, and showed herself besides
being great vocally a splendid SOU
brette. George Olmi as Peppo, Henry
Hadam, as Frederick, and Miss Mamie
Kingston, as Fannetta, were all excel
lent, but the great hit OF the evening
were the two comedians, Robert Lett
and John Henderson. They were ire
mendously funny, in fact they are a
wonderful team of fun makers. They
work together showing not particle
of jealousy towards each other, thing
that is very seldom known of any COM
pany where there are two such excel
lent comedians, for as a rule one is al
ways frightened that the other will get
the laughs. 1t is not so apparently
with Henderson and Lett, for it is re-
freshing to see them helping each other
to make each ones part a success. The
work of the chorus is entitled to much
praise, especially the march OF the girls
in the last act.
To-day being Washington's birthday
there will be a special matinee, when
that great opera Said Pasha will be
presented, and tonight the opera will
be Olivet.
Another packed house greeted the
Macauley-Patton company at the Grand
last night, and the engagement seems
destined to be one of the most success
full of a successful season at Manager
Feinler's popular theatre. Royal
Rags a society drama by W. B. Pat
ton, was the bill both afternoon and
evening yesterday, and it made a pro-
nounced hit as produced by Mr.. w. B.
Patton, in the leading role, supported
by an excellent company. Between
acts the company gives some pleasing
and up-to-date specialties. This after
noon THE Minister'S Son" will be re-
peated, and tonight only a Farmers
Daughter" an old favOrite, will be put
on. Popular prices prevail during this
engagement.
