Camden Well.
Special to the Register.
WESTON, w. Va, October 1.-THE
South Penn Oil Company has bought
the gas from the Barrett well to be
used as fuel. The South Penn Com
pany has made seven locations in the
F'ink's creek field Derrick timber is
now upon the ground. Three are locat-
ed on James Tierney's farm, one on
Joseph Kren's farm, one on Father
Welsh's farm, and one on Dennis Con-
drey's The other one is located or
Dry Fork on the farm of the Maxwell
heirs.
Father Welsh was here to-day He
says the Welsh No. 1, drilled in by the
South Penn five days ago. is 1890 feet
in the Gantz sand, and is doing 25 bar
rels. This well is located ten miles
northwest of the Camden.
The only information that can be
given from the Camden well is to judge
from the activity around the well. Ii
is a fact that eight $50 barrel tanks
have been filled and the we'll IS on anG
has nearly filed the ninth, an S00Dar-
rel tank. By midnight the last tank,
which is a 1,20O-barreI tank, will be
ready for the flow. This they think
will last until the pipe line reaches the
well, which will be within the next day
or two.
An oil man whose truthfulness can
not be questioned, told the Register to-
day that he knew it to be fact that
upon last Saturday the well was turned
on 250-barrel tank to see what it was
really doing, and that it filed the tank
in less than twenty-four hours.
The South Penn Company has made
a location on the Waggy farm, half mile
east OF the Camden.

The Little Minister is Scotch through

words Of the play. But dinna fear, lassie,
and ladies. The dialogue of the play is
not peppered with .tHopt mons" and Din
ma kens, and the Scotch burr is but little
IN evidence. In fact. there is only just
enough dialect to create an atmosphere of
highlands and heather. When you are con-
sidering Barrie's play. THE Little Minis
ter you might as well dismiss the book
from your mind-if you can dismiss so
charming story. Story and play vary but
little to the end of the second act: but
from that point the play is practically a
new creation and not a dramatization of
the DOCK. The main scene in the third act
and the denoument in the fourth are said
70 pc capitally managed. There is nothing
TEDIOUS In the way of fine speeches in the
play, yet ii is admirable from a literary
standpoint, for it has atmosphere and the
characters are clearly drawn. Lady Bar

make woman charming and all the
faults that make her more charming.

six lives in hotel fire at Pittsburg.

of gas. In the first moments after the

the hallway of the second floor and
stumbled over the unconscious form of
woman whom he dragged into a re-
ception room. Five Others three men
and two women, who had been turned
back from the stairway by the flames,
were shrieking and fighting for some
exit, when Thompson forced them all
into the big room and locked the door.
Knowing that it meant death to go
into the hall, he fought the desperate
men back until the arrival of the fire.

A curious incident was brought to
light, near Peterborough. by the tele-
graph Office. A London center found
that the insulation of a principal wire
to the north was so imperfect al to
render II impossible to get message
through. They wired up to Peter
borough, where the officials. on testing

telegraphic employe set out In haste,
upon his bicycle to remedy the defect,
and what was his surprise to discover
that a big snake, coluber natrix, over
four feet in length. was hanging upon
the wires. With difficulty he removed
the reptile, which was quite dead, and
Immediately contact was disestablish-
cd and Insulation made complete.
From the time London wired the OBJ
struction to the time Of the defect be-
ing remedied, barely half an hour had
elapsed. It was assumed that some
lads had killed the reptile and, In q
mischievous mood, had thrown 1t up
on the wires.

Wreck on the Wabash.

One of the worst smash-ups in the
history of the eastern divisions of the
Wabash took place at Belleville, when
freight train No. 60 collided with an
other freight which was lying at the
station waiting for another train from
the east. The engineer reversed his
engine and jumped, escaping unin-
jurcd, while the heavy freight went
blowing its way into the rear end of
the train lying at the station. The
caboose of the first train was driven on
the top of the engine of the rear train,
and car after car was smashed and
piled up. Fire was soon communicated
from the engine to the caboose, and
this together with five other cars were
completely burned, and between IL
and Is cars were more or less demol-
ished in the smash-up. Fortunately
no one was injured.

When the striped pole or sign which
now indicates barber shop was en-
ployed to let the public know where
cupping or bloodletting was profess
sionally performed, close shaves were
of daily occurrence; not the easy re-
moval of the hirsute or hairy adorn-
ment of the head and face, but close
shaves from entering eternity. More
than one unfortunate entered the bar
ber-surgeon's doorway to leave it
corpse or so weak that weeks were re-
quired to get the victim of malpractice
on his feet. Bloodletting was used for
everything, from a heartache to a corn,
and pain in the loins was invariably
treated with two missions, one on each
side of the spine. Like plasters and
liniments, these helped from the
counter irritation they created, and we
presume that had Mr.. Calvin Wilson,
proprietor of the leading shaving par
Tor of Niles, Mich. lived in the time of
George III, of England, in place of
taking the course he did a short time
ago with his back, bloodletting would
have been resorted to. Read how he
treated his trouble. Mr.. Wilson says:

STATE LEGISLATURE.

The opening sess ion of the Michigan
state legislature was absolutely unin-
teresting. In the senate after the
drawing of seats the officers selected
by the Republican caucus were elected
with but very little opposition-the
five Democrats voting for Charles A.
Ward, of Ann Arbor, for president pro
tenn. After adopting the senate rules
of 1897 the senate adjourned. In the
house, after the representatives had
secured their seats the officers chosen
by the Republican caucus were form
ally elected. Speaker Adams made
speech. VIM. +. Gardner protested
against the seating of Henry nj.
Schmidt, one of the Democratic mem
bers from Saginaw. Rep. Herrig, of
Saginaw, presented the protest and it
was received and filed. Schmidt was
sworn in and the contest will come up
later
Rep. Colby, of Wayne, in the inter
ests of the Pingree men, moved to
amend the rules so as to allow the
changing of any rule by majority in
stead of two-thirds vote. The object
is to place the Pingree men in posi-
ton to force committees to report bills
when desired. The motion was tabled
and can be called up when most OPP
perfume.
Large crowds filled Representative
hall to hear the reading of Gov. Pin
gree's message, which occupied about
two and half hours. There was very
little applause, although close atten-
ton was given.
Sergeant-at-Arms Shepherd, of the
house, was appointed as his assistants:
Tyler GARNER, of Oceana county; John
Torris, of Detroit, and Chas. $. Despres,
of Grand Traverse.
Moses Parshelsky sergeant-at-arms
has appointed Hugh c. Bentley, of
Hancock, as his assistant. Bentley
was in the 34th Michigan regiment.
The first bill to be noticed in this
session of the legislature was the At
kinson bill, and it was noticed by
Henry NJ. Cheever, of Wayne.
Reps. Chamberlain, Anderson, Gus
tin, Scully and Meier were appointed
as a committee on the Schmidt-Gar-
diner contest from Saginaw.
