FRIDAY. APRIL 2b 1899.
Wagon Load OfPeopIe Thrown Over
the Bank,

What might have been serious ac-
cident and what seems like mlracu-
1ous escape from injury occurred on
Ohio street Immediately in front of
Salzman's machine shop Thursday af-
ternoon about three o'clock. A party
of seven persons, Mr. and Mrs. "A. A.
Hoffman and two children, Misses
Mary Corner, Bernice Day and another
lady whose name we did not learn,
were driving out to their homes at
Cornerville when the horse became
frightened at load of baskets being
brought in from the box factory for
shipment by river. The driver of the
wagon hauling the baskets stopped
his team Immediately and tried to get
off the wagon in time to help control
the frightened animal, but before he
could do SO it had backed the light
wagon over the river bank, which al
this point is high and steep. The oc-
cupants of the rig we're thrown out
and falling among the rocks and Other
debris there itswas a wonder that there
was no one hurt seriously. The ladies
new sailor hats were considerably
mashed up, but beyond a few slighI
bruises no one was hurt. The wagor
was damaged slightly, but the horse
was not hurt at all.

Oil Notes,
Yesterdays MARKET.

The Clarke 6 Co. Moore No. 10 is
expected to reach the sand today and
much hope for IT'S proving a fine well is
felt by those Interested.
A company composed of home part
les in and around Plantsville have
under lease near the recent good
strike on the Lambert farm, 1400 acres
which will be tested in a short time
The property is located alongside the
Lambert farm. We understand there
are also some Marietta parties inter-
ested in the lease.
The Lambert wen which caused so
much excitement in the Chesterhill
and Plantsville neighborhood, is ex-
pected to be drilled in today. When
began the drill was stopped with the
sand only punctured to the depth of 1S
inches. The well has stopped flowing
and will be cleaned out and drilled into
the sand to see what it is good for. y
Mr.. George B. Eyssen, of the Nat
lonal Supply Co., has sold most of his
holdings in the Chesterhill field to a
good advantage.

A California Newspaper Law.

San Francisco, April 19.-The
newspaper signature law, which goes
into effect today, will be ignored by
many papers in the State, including
all the San Francisco dailies. The
law provides that all articles published
in newspapers and which reflect on
any persons character. or tend to hold
him up to ridicule or contempt, and
those rejecting on the memory of the
dead, shall be signed by the writer
The penalty for a violation of this law
is fine of $1,000 for each offense. The
newspaper publishers hold that the
law is unconstitutional and will fight
it in the courts.

Will Not use Scotch Boilers.

The Plttsburg Transportation Comp

full towboat ever constructed, has de-
cided that it will not use Scotch mar

Will Test for Oil or Gas.

A movement is on foot and already a
number of shares have been subscribed
looking to the development of the oil
and gas interests of this vicinity. A
number of Cumberland people have in
vested so far, and from present indica-
tions strong company can be easily
organized. We understand the inten-
tlon is to put down wells and thor
oughly test the territory. The pros
poets for oil here are very good and
there should be no trouble in raising
the necessary funds.-Cumberlan

Dainty Butter Service.

We wish YOU to know of the daintiest
and easiest way Of serving butter at the
table. So many people have large piece
of butter put on the table, and then some
one has to neatly Cor otherwise) cut this
into small pieces for each individual.
Avoid this trouble and at the same time
add to the appearance Of your table by
having butter balls or pats made before
the meal is served. Get hrst-class pair
OF wooden paddles, costing fifty cents a
pair; cheaper ones may be had at ten
cents, but they are not at all satisfactory
and as pair of paddles lasts for years
fifty cents is not an extravagant price to
pay for them.
To make the balls, put the paddles in
to bowl Of ice water until thoroughly
chilled: then a piece OF butter about the
size of walnut should be taken up on
one paddle, and rolled with the other I'M
til it forms dainty ball, all criss-crossed
with dents from the indentatons on the
paddles. Drop the balls as fast as made
into a bowl OF ice water, and make a
dozen or two at time; il the family is
small, these will last two or three days,
and if kept in bowl Of ice water all the
time will be as crisp and fresh as though
made fresh for each meal.

Care of Table Linen.

From National Stock1nan.
In buying table linen it is always best
to get good quality, for it is the cheapest
in the end. 1t will wear much longer
and gives the table richer appearance;
and if desired still richer appearance
can be had by buying thick, soft mating
on purpose to spread under the linen.
1t is quite expensive, and nice flannel
blanket can be used as substitute One
lady that l know took two pieces Of
bleacher muslin the size of her table, laid
cotton batting between them the desired
thickness, and quilted it, and as her table
was spread it presented soft, rich ap-
pearance. 1t is best to have plenty Of
changes SO as not to use table cloth and
napkins until SO badly soiled that it neces-
states hard rubbing to get them clean,
consequently more wear on the material
Never put table linen into soapsuds
until you have pu the stained places over
dish and poured boiling water through
them. | think it always spoils table linen
to see stain, and upon an otherwise
nice cloth detracts greatly from its ap-

How to Clean Gloves.
m the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Here are two methods Cf cleaning
gloves: The first is to rub them with
cream OF tartar till all signs of dirt have
disappeared. The second is as follows
Put the soiled glove on the hand and
lightly rub it with a piece OF fine flannel
which has previously been damped with
milk and rubbed on cake OF white soap.
To insure success do not make the fan
mel too wet. and be careful to use a fresh
piece for rubbing the glove directly the
part in use becomes%soiled. :
Clean copper vessels by rubbing them
with half a lemon dipped in salt. They
should then be washed with pure water
and dried and polished with a soft cloth
A good sponge is an expensive luxury,
but the difficulty is to preserve it good
for good sponges go the same way as
cheap sponges. They acquire that nause-
ating sliminess which turns thing of
utility into bath room horror Add
two tablespoonfuls of sulphuric acid to
pint of water and steep the Shiny OBJ
iect in this mixture for couple of hours.
Then knead it thoroughly, still keeping
it in the liquid, after which wash we'll in
clean water You will then have fresh,
elastic. and bright sponge, which will be
a pleasure instead of pain.

BOb'S Apple Tree Party.
(EDIrED BY AUNT cLApA.l

81 want a party for my apple-trees,"
said Bob, one evening when he and his
father and mother were talking about
celebrating his birthday cts their
birthday as we'll as mine Seems to me
it would be great fun, and anyway none
of the other children ever had one like
it"
That's funny idea" said Bob's faith
er. when we're talking about having
ia party for you, you say you'd rather
have party for your trees. Well, son,
I'm glad you like your trees SO much
Father thought it was fine plan to
put an apple tree into the ground for you
each birthday, and let you do as YOU
wanted to with it. You wouldn't be my
boy if you didn't like trees, though"
Its a very nice idea," said Bob's
mother "The trees will be at their very
best, too, all in bloom, and they will
certainly look as if dressed for party
Yes, my dear boy, mother thinks it a
beautiful idea" She nodded and smiled
at Bob.
1T will be a ree-p1anting and an ap-
ple-tree party all in one, hey?" said Bob's
father.
"And plenty OF apples to eat, too," said
Bob.
"Bless you, yes" replied his mother
"You shall feast on apples"
Bob's birthday came in May. The day
of the apple-tree party was mild and
warm and sunny. The sky was clear,
soft blue, with few feecy clouds along
the horizon like swan s-down on gauze
dress. The trees were never SO beautiful
and Bob's trees were the prettiest on the
farm. They were just mass of pink
and white blossoms and delicate green
leaves, and they nodded and swayed
when the breeze touched them as if they
were happy children.

hard to iron out. When hanging them
out hang over the sheets. and for fear the
