WELL COMPLETED.
Sixteen Months Consumed in Drilling a
Well ON Adam ShriYer's farm and
Dry Hole is the Result.

The hoodoo that has pursued
Dick Myers for nearly a year and a
half has been broken by the compile
ton of the well on the Adam Shri-
yer farm for the CHARTERS Oil Com
pany. This well was begun sixteen
months ago and it had to be started
over again four times before it was
finished. The rig had to be moved
twice during the time.
Everything that could go wrong
went wrong and all the delays and
loses possible were experienced At
last by dint of the most unceasing
labor and 2ndying grit the well was
drilled into the sand and it was
found to be a dry hole. Another
hundred feet were contracted for and
when this part was completed there
was still no oil The well is more
than three thousand feet deep.
Dick will start some new wells
right away and is now in hopes that
the bad luck has been broken. Every
one joins in this hope as he has
made great many friends by his
nerve under the trying ordeal.

The weather reports will hereafter

Captain j. Il. Miller has had charge
of them for a long time but the other
people asked him for them and he
gave them up. The service is a valu-
able one to the people of the town and
country surrounding. There are forty
four other stations supplied from this
place every day.
The department furnishes the cards
and rubber stamps TO make out the
reports and as soon as the messages
come in from Parkersburg the cards
are filed out. They are addressed TO
the postmasters OF the various post
Offices supplied from here and are
mailed at once. They are then posted
in the various offices for the informa-
tion of the public.
A great many people notice these
reports. Many more than most peo-
pie imagine. A great big kick is
made If they are not received on time.
On Tuesday no report came in and the
chances are that every Office in the
county is making "a hollern about it,.
The reports will continue to be pub
lished every day in this paper They
are made out at ten o'clock In the
morning In Parkersburg and sent on
here at once.

FOUND DYING.
DR.. Frederick c. Hum Dies
Near McKces Rocks
Tuesday

Found BY Some Boys in Field Short
~ After His Discovery He Dies De-
spite Medical Skill-Suspieious Cir
cumstances Surround the Death-He
was Formerly Dentist Here With
DR.. A. Nj. jackson.
The following is taken from the
Pittsburg Post in relation TO former
dentist of this place will be read with
interest by our readers:
DR.. Frederick G. Hum, of Beaver,
aged 30 years, was found in an open
| field below Mckees Rocks yesterday
afternoon on what is known as Island
avenue extension. Some indications
point to death by suicide, but neither
the coroner nor the physician who saw
DR.. Hum before he died is satisfied OF
this, and further investigation will
be made of the matter. Dr. Hum
arrived at the Seventh Avenue hotel
in this city last Thursday, and was
there until Saturday evening, when
he left the hotel and did not return
Yesterday morning about 1920 o'clock
two small boys found DR.. Hum lying
on the ground, apparently suffering
great pain. They called DR. A. e..
Ewing, and he pronounced the man
suffering from alcoholic poisoning.
He gave him some medicine and re-
turned to the town for short time.
He again went to see his patient
about II o'clock and found him much
improved. After making him COM
| Portable he left.
About $3.50 o'clock James Gilmore
and James Irwin noticed Hum lying
there and went over to investigate.
They found the man dead, and were
! just going to report the case when
Dr. Ewing came down again to see
his patient. The coroner was noti-
fed and the body was removed TO the
morgue. In the pockets Of his cloth
was found the key to his room at the
hotel, railroad ticket good between
Cleveland and Leetona, and piece Of
paper, on which was serawled the in
formation that he had grip at the
Seventh Avenue hotel and list of
debts due him, which he stated he
was unable to collect. An autopsy
will probably be held to determine
the exact cause Of his death.
DR.. Hum was here for six months
or more last year and was associated
with DR.. A. M. Jackson. He was
very well liked by every one who knew
him and they will learn OF his death
with regret.
The circumstances surrounding his
departure would lead them to think
that he had died from too much alco-
hol administered by his own hand.
He was steady until a few weeks be-
fore he left here when he got to drink
ing heavily and finally left without
saying farewell to any one.

Why He Had No Fish.

Four Galesburg followers of Tzaak
Walton sought the banks of the Spoon
yesterday and tried all day to lure it's
finny tribe from it's placid depths They
had some success, not much. The par
ty included w. L. Steele, A. w. Trued-
son, R. G. Mathews and F. r. Jelliff
The fate which befell the latter fish
erman is particularly sad. He had
caught several small catfish, and had
them anchored on a small string to the
bank. All unexpected along came a
water moccasin snake. The snake es-
pied the captive fish and made for
them. He seized the biggest one and
tried to- swallow it. 1t stuck in his
throat
The fisherman saw the snake of prey
make it's descent, and set UP a howl
that brought the rest of the party in
a hurry. This all scared the moccasin,
and he started out into the river with
the fish in his mouth. The whole
string followed him, and there they
remained, and this fisherman came
home without bite in sight except
that indicated by mosquito.-Gales-

Costly Fare for Ostriches.

There was happening at the ostrich
farm recently which disproves the the
: DRY that the ostrich is sat- - with
eating naAs, barbed wire, anu the like.
A man who had visited the farm the
day before, discovered that his gold
watch was missing. Thinking that he
might have lost it at the farm, he re-
turned to look for it. When he arrived
he enlisted the services of youth and
started in quest. without entertaining
much hope of finding the watch. About
the first thing noticed by the youth was
an ostrich tossing something in the
air. 1t was the watch and would have
been swallowed if it had been a glass
faced watch. 1t happened that both sides
were opened and it lodged in the beak.
The next day the valuation of one of
the birds was enhanced $50 1t swal-
lowed a diamond from the setting of a
woman visitor, who inadvertently
sought to console the bird by caressing
it's forehead.

DEWEY.

We have not 70 It any of our
patriotism, but we must re-
mark that the daily papers
have given us several over
doses of Dewey the past week.
The people have been wild,
the old mans arm is out of
joint, the D key in the type
writer's has been, worn off
and now has that tired feel
ing, Verify the American
people love to honor their
heroes, and it would be a
splendid idea if some of the
thousands Of dollars needless
ly spent in New York by peo-
pie receiving no benefit and
seeing nothing but a mass Of
humanity, could be turned to
a better advantage.
If there is one glad man in
this country to-day it must be
Admiral Dewey. Glad be-
cause he has passed through
his ovation and is still living.
The free press. (Southern Pines, N.C.) 1898-19??, 1899-10-07

Dewey himself was hardly
"the man of the hour" when
the people in New York and
Washington could get a
glimpse of Admiral Schley.
The continual cheers from
the people, for the hero of
Santiago must have been a
rebuke to the President and
his administration for the i'll
treatment given Schley. At
the same time the American
people respect Sampson and
love Schley.
