Washington. January 23Nothing has
so far been done In Judge MeelS's case.
The probability is it will be near tho end
Of the session before tho case comes up.
Senator Chiffon seems TO have expert
onccd a change of heart and is not oppos-
ing Judge Meck's confirmation with the
virulenoe he manifested toward the Inter
part of the last session and refuses to say
what he win do until he has examined
certain papers now before the committee.
since Governor Hogg and other prominent
Texans have withdrawn their opposition
to the confirmation OF Mr. Meek. II will be
interesting to note what will happen should
the Texas legislature instruct the Texas
senators here to oppose Meek in every
way possible.
The Ward case, in which 1t Is UNDER
stood that his attorney will file an orig
inal motion for writ of habeas corpus be-
fore the supreme court here and which
will be test Of the validity of all Judge
Meek's decisions. will be watched with
much interest The motion Will probably
be made here next Monday.

Senatorial Talk.

The senatorial situation in Athens
county has taken a peculiar turn. Sew
eral weeks ago Senator c. A. Cable, of
Nelsonville, announced that he would
not stand for denomination and from
that 1t was inferred that Athens coun-
ty would not have candidate at he
senatorial convention of the Ninth
Fourteenth district. This inference,
however, is incorrect, as H. H. Wick
ham, ex-treasurer of Athens county
has announced himself for senatorial
honors. AT the last meeting of the Re-
publican senatorial committee it pass
ed serolution to the effect that all
candidates should pay their assess
ment by Feb. 22. The time limit ex-
pired and there was nothing to indi-
cate that Wickham or anybody else
had paid the required assessment.
1t now transpires that Wickham paid
his assessment in ample time, though
the matter had been kept profund Sc
cret, He Is a candidate and will prob
ably appear in the convention, where
ever it may be held, with a solid dele
cation from Athens. This fact great
ly compllcates the senatorial situation
in this district, as nearly every county
will support It's own candidate.-Ohio

Oil Notes,
YESTERDAYS MARKET.

Moore No. II which was drilled in
Sunday was shot Monday morning and
will make about ten barrel producer.
Hovls G. Co. have packed Dye No.
in the Berea grit and expect to have
the we'll flowing shortly.
It is rumored here that Mr. Nesbitt,
OF Sistersville, who is operating in
Morgan county, made a good strike
near Roxbury Sunday. How much the
we'll is good for cannot be learned.
d. s. w. in the Derrick has this to
say of the Tice farm well, which has
veen SO lauded by many papers; The
big we'll reported on Elk Run was
nothing better than 20 barrel pumper
from the Berea grit. Much better pro-
ducers have been discovered in the
Elk Run development.
The Kanawha Oil Co. and the Car
negie Natural Gas Co. have made an
important Strike on the Crawford tract
in Wetzel county, w. Va. The we'll is
located on Beets Run three miles north
of Pine Grove. 1t was drilled in last
week and showed some oil, but looked
like duster. 1t was shot last Tues
day and is producing so barrels day
from the Gordon. The location is re-
mote from any production and is i'm
portant for that reason rather than its
size. The Crawford tract contains
$500 acres.
Near Jarvisville, Harrison county,
the South Penn Oil Co. has completed
its No. 2 on the Stephen Bennett farm
and has a ten barrel pumper. This is
practically new Gordon development
that has been attracting attention for
some time. Up to the present nothing
larger than a 40 barrel producer has
been drilled in.
There are now 10 producing wells in
the Jarvis field in Harrison county and
the daily production is estimated at 600
barreds.
The rig for the Henderson Oil Co.
No. II is up and Mo- 10 is drilling on
the John p. Bartlett farm, above Will
Jamestown. The company has made
20 additional locations and has con-
tracted for the rigs. The wells that
have already been drilled, several of
which are year old, are still holding
up splendidly and are coming money
for the owner of the land and the men
operating the lease. The whole farm
of $50 acres is considered gilt edge ter
ritory and one of the best producing
farms in the state.-Sentinel.
