THAT NEW WELL.
Subject Of Discussion Among the Fra
ternity.

The Richardson & Paden well on
the Bumgarner farm in Writ county
is the subject of discussion among
the oil fraternity 1t is producing
from the gas sand, which was en-
countered at 1120 feet, and it is a
rare thing that big producer is
found in that formation.
Judge Richardson, who is at the
we'll, telephoned here this morning
that the well was drilled only three
feet into the sand and that it was
put to pumping at 4 O'Clock Friday
afternoon. Up to midnight it had
put rs barrels into the tank but the
pump broke down at that time and
word was sent here for parts with
which TO make repairs.
rhe well is estimated to be good
for 200 as it stands, but this may be
largely increased when it is drilled
deeper and given a shot.
Richardson d co. sold the gas
right to E. NJ. Grant & Co. reservino
the oil rights on the lease. BY the
terms of the contract, if the owners
of the gas rights drill well and il
develops into an oil well Richardson
d Co get it at what it cost to drill
it, and if Richardson q Co drill q
well, and it develops into gasser
the other parties get it at the sa mt
terms.-Parkersburg Sentinel.

SOME DOU BTERS.
A Few People think that there was
Something in the Bloody Articles
Fonnd ON Monday.

Some people IN town believe that
there is something more in the
bloody articles found below town on
Monday than the rest of the com
munity supposes. These believers
have several things to bolster up
their side of the case.
They say that there has been a
camp Of hoboes below town on the
river bank for two weeks and that on
Monday morning they were all gone.
On Sunday they were there. This
is to them suspicious circumstance
Acting on these suspicious couple
of men dragged the river on Monday
afternoon but they found nothing
1t has been suggested that it will
take but a few minutes to have the
blood examined and that will soon
settle the fact as to it's origin. If
it is chicken blood one glance
through microscope will reveal it
and the fake car then be seen with
out any doubt being left.

BLAMED IT ON DEAD NAN.
Late +. j. Burdette Charged With
Changing Records His Friends are
Very Indignant Mt the Charge.

GRAFTON, W. Va, April 1S.-A6
the last State election the charge was
made that the ballots had been tam
pered with and that the result of the
election changed by alteration OF bal
lots, after they had been placed in
the hands OF II, j. Burdette, the Re
publican Clerk of the County Court.
The charge was that Burdette had
made these changes in the interest of
McGraw, the Democratic candidate
for Senator, u Democratic legislator
obtaining his seat on the changes
made. The Legislature and County
Court investigated. but found no
fault.
Yesterday evening the grand jury
returned an Indictment charging that
L. j. Burdette, the County Clerk. had
altered the ballots This finding was
on the evidence of e. b. Hay, OF
Washington, handwriting expert.
Burdette died since the election and
the indictment is of no effect except
to relieve living suspects OF the odium
which rumor has attached to them
Professor Hay was positive in his
evidence to the writing of Burdette
in the county record books.
The return has caused great sem
sation and has stirred much bitter
feeling among Burdette's friends

The BOARD is HERE.
A few of the Regents have come
in fo- the Meeting.

others Will be in this sfternoon-Pr
liminaries are Being gone Over
Work that VIII Likely be done-Ru-
NOR Of the Presidents Resignation is
not Credited Siurgiss Denies it En-
practically other notes of the Special
session.
The board OF regents was to have
met to-day and a session was expected
to have been held this morning but
no quorum turned up and it had to be
deferred until the afternoon Regents
Lee, Mcmahon aud Eastman came in
on the morning train and the rest are
expected this afternoon.
As far as heard they will all be here
and some very important business is
to be transacted. Those who are here
spent the morning inspecting the va
rious buildings and grounds and get
ting acquainted with the work that
they will have to take up during Cheir
visit here
They visited the University and the
Experiment Farm and are we'll salts
fed with what they have seen of the
material aspect of things. They
/ looked into the question of additional
grounds and have held several consul
] tations with the owners of the real
estate that it is desired to have and
will likely take some action in this
direction before they adjourn.
] The legislature at its recent session
refused to make any appropriation
i toward such an end but the need is
/ SO pressing that the board cannot al
/ low it to go unnotieed. More ground
will have to be bought before any Of
the new buildings can be located and
nothing can be done in any direction
until the ground is provided for.
This will likely take the first atten-
/ tion OF the board and they will proba-
bly, act in this direction before they
do any thing else.
The plans for the new buildings
i will be submitted TO them and they
will very carefully examine them and
make their decision in regard to them
/ This may take some time and 1t will
/ probably be the last of the week be-
] fore they are ready to go home.
/ President Sturgiss was seen this
morning and asked about the meeting
and he out lined the work that is to
be done as far as he knew. The pur-
/ chase Of grounds and the agreement
on plans for buildings were all that
would be taken up as far as he could
! tell at present. He was asked about
/ the rumor current on the street that
DR.. Raymond intended to tender his
resignation to the board at the recent
/ session.
He stated that it was absolutely
without foundation. That the resig-
nation would not go ia and that if it
did as far as he was concerned the
board. would not accept it.
1 The other members of the board did
not express themselves on this phase
of the situation.

THEY ARE CLEAN.
Now Let All Hands Pull Together to
Keep Them in That Condition.

The paved streets have been cleaned
off thoroughly. All the dirt and pa
per have been removed. The mud
would have been taken off long ago
but while the other streets were not
paved it would be useless to try to
keep those that were paved free from
dirt.
Now that they are clean it would
be very good idea if the people
would help to keep them that way
They should quit throwing trash and
paper on the streets. Besides being
unsightly, unhealthy and a nuisance
generally it is contrary to law and the
offenders should be given a good taste
of the quality Of the law Lets keep
them clean.
