"Hfs Better Half. "

His Better Half," the great Eng
lish laughing success, is described as
a farcial comedy built upon similar
lines to "Charley's Aunt" the play
which enjoyed one of the largest and
most prosperous runs in the American
stage. Critics whose judgment are
absolutely respected, are unanimously
of the opinion that His Better Half
is by far the cleanest cut, most ingen-
iously constructed and mostunotiously
funny farce ever offered, and that
while the authors arrangement of the
central character, the dual roles, that
of Percy Pimple and Mrs. Chester,
bears a mild resemblance to Char
ley's Aunt" There is a widely differ
enL motive and more complicated
confusion of laughable features great
ly in favor of His Better Half"
Boyle & Graham in conjunction
wl.n large and highly talented ag-
gregation of fun providers, will pre-
sent His Better Half at he Auditor
ium Wednesday night, Nov 29.

Views AS to Roberts.

Anderson, Ind, Nov. 22.-Congress-
man-elect George w. Cromer, of the
Eighth District, leaves for Washing
ton Saturday, accompanied by his
wife. He was asked whether he
would vote to expel Roberts, of Utah,
and said
Il presume that Brigham H. Rob-
erts, Congressman-elect from Utah,
will be allowed to retain his seat in
Congress through the influence of
Democratic politicians. The Republi-
can majority of the House of Repre-
sentatives in the Fifty-sixth Congress
WI oe only fourteen. The Demo-
Gratis, l believe, will never permit a
free silver and anti-expanslonist Dem
Ocrat to be ousted from .-.s seat in
Congress by the Republicans. 1t would
voting against themselves.
% expel Mr., Roberts will require
a bwo-bhirds majority of the members,
and unless the Democrats turn and
vote against one of their own number
he will keep his seat No one will deny
that he is practicing polygamy, but
whether this will have any effect when
the time comes to vote remains to be
seen"

First Skyscraper in Paris.

Chicago has long been famous here
for its skyscraper building.
Paris is apparently growing jeal-
GUS and is running up huge edifice
at the corner of the rues Monthabor
and Mondovi that is an amazing OBJ
ject.
To Parisians it already looks like a
stunted Eiffel tower, though only the
tenth story has been reached. When
completed the building will be IA stor-
les high.
Hitherto the municipality has pre-
served what is called the skyline of
Paris by generally forbiddlng the con-
structlon of buildings higher than the
width of the streets in which they are
situated. 1t is hardly likely that the
authorizes will insist upon the streets
being widened to extend the height of
buildings of IA stories, so this first
monumental exception to the general
rule deserves mention, as it may be in
'OhtA 90 q pAONNhSIl ny Dullutl5 lOI
skyscrapers.
This building is to be used when
finished as the Cour des Complies, as
well as storehouse for the archives
in connection with the ministry of
Finances-an invaluable collection.
Americans will remember the pic
turesque ruins of the old Cour des
Complies, on the left bank of the
Seine, destroyed by fire in the Com
mune, upon the site where the Orleans
Station is new being built.
lhe new Cour is entirely of iron and
Roman cement, and is believed to be
absolutely fireproof. This last par
tlcular may be a Governmental hint to
would-be ccmmunards in the future
who might be tempted to treat the
building as those of 1871 treated the
old Cour..-New York Herald.

Oil News.
Yesterdays MARKET

Esquire w. r. Goddard, of Bern
township, was in town Monday and
Tuesday on business pertaining to the
oil interests of that sect on. Owing to
continuous train of accidents the
we'll on the Curtis farm was aband-
oned at depth of 295 feet. The rig
is now being moved to the Goddard
farm adjoining, where well i'll be
drilled at once.-Athens Messenger.
The Casper, Wyoming, Derrick, in a
review of the prospects for oil in that
country and the prominent capitalists
visiting there, says
"There probably never was larger
gathering of representative oil men
from the East, as we'll as Europe, in
Wyoming, than there s today. 1t has
been known positively for some time
that capitalists had become interested
in our oil fields, and that it was only
a matter of time until large number
of wells on new territory would be put
down, and that those already interest
ed here would increase the volume of
business"
Well No. 5, on the Cook farm, which
was drilled in Tuesday, was good for
100 barrels in two hours.
P.ttsburg, Nov. 21-The territory
northwest of the Wilson Run develop
meIt, in Washington and Monroe
counties, in Southeastern Ohio, is at
tracing considerable attention. The
new discoveries are located about five
miles northwest of the outside limits
of the Wilson Run pool. 1t is Big In
jun sand territory, and the showing is
good enough to warrant a more thor
ough search. Graysville is the near
est to the new development. The AS
sociated Producers company has drill
ed in test well in that territory, To-
Gated on the Hendershot farm that has
filled up 500 feet with fluid. AS socn
as the well began to show oil drilling
was suspended to erect tankage. Ii
w4I probably be drilled deeper tomor-
row. The Ann Oil Company's we'll on
tie Gray farm has not been drilled any
deeper. Steelsmith & Cos test on the
Armstrong farm will be the next well
due. Its location is one-fourth of a
mile to the northeast o fthe Grace &
Co. producer on the Wittingar farm.
In Washington county, Latshaw G.
Senor have drilled in their second test
well on the Alexander farm and have
10 barrel pumper. Afford & Co.'S
test on the Wadsworth farm will be
good fer or s barrels a day. Both are
producers from the Cow Run sand.
In the Scio field, Myers & Brown
have completed their No. on the
rowler farm and have a 20 barrel
pumper.
Southwest of the Garner develop
ment, cast of Proctor, Wetzel county,
West Virginia, the South Penn Oil Co.
gave its test on The Paugh farm a shot
last Saturday evening and the well in
the ensuing "a hours produced 70 bar
rels, an increase of 40 barrels over its
previous daily production.

Bowling Contest.

The Veteran bowling club have ac-

team for a contest, which will take
place on the Marietta alleys on
Thanksgiving night. The Veterans
on their visit to Marietta last season
lost the series Of games, but they were
handicapped from the fact that the
team was made up of inexperienced
bowlers. They have had plenty OF
practice since chen, however, and will

l'he State Journal says: Judge
Bright, senator-elect from the Ninth
Fuorteenth district, has been mention
ed as a possible candidate for the pres
idency pro TEN of the senate. In an
interview at his home in Logan, the
q Judge was asked: Have you given
any attention to the organization of
the senate, or the places of honor you
will aspire to?" "Up to this time"
replied the Judge, 81 have not. l have
just received list of the Republican
members elected and find that | have
not personal acquaintance among
them. Some of my friends have sug-
gested that | ought to be president pro
tenn and others that l be chairman of
the judiciary committee. l suppose
that l will be one of the oldest lawyers
in the senate, and hence might be
placed on the judiciary committee"
What do you think of the reported
attempt to effect an organization by "a
union of Democrats and Kurtz men?"
Il do not believe it will or can be done.
l am quite sure that some of the Re-
publican members who have been put
down as willing to go into such a
combine will not do so."

BURGLARS
Enter the Atlantic Tea Company's
Store,

Some time during Wednesday night
burglars entered the store of the At
lantic Tea Company and secured about
SO in change which they found in a
drawer. The thieves entered by back
window
1t is thought in police circles that
the thieves who have 1een operating
down the river have extended their
depredations to this city and that
Wednesday nights burglary is the be-
g ming of a series of thefts such as
have been carried on in towns below.
Special officer John Mattern, however,
is of the opinion that the robbery was
committed by local talent and has
suspicious of a certain well known
character in town.
The police are keeping sharp watch
for further attempts.

B. & O.'s New Purchase.

1t is but a few days since the B. &

Cleveland & Valley road in Ohio. This
road runs from the terminus of the
Cleveland & Marietta road at Valley
Junction to Cleveland ard is operated
in connection with the c. & NJ. Fol
lowing up the same policy there as
elsewhere 1t may be inferred that the
B. & o. will eventually secure con-
troll of the C. & M. and thus have a
north and south line through Ohio

PARSNIP CMOPLEXION.

1t does not require an expert to detect the
sufferer from kidney trouble. The hollow
cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark, puffy
circles under the eyes, the sallow parsnip-
colored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had rheuma-
tism, dull pain or ache in the back or over
the hips, stomach trouble, desire to urinate
often, or burning or scalding in passing it 4;
if after passing there is an unsatis6ed feeling
as if it must be at once repeated, or if the
urine has brick dust deposit or strong odor.
When these symptoms are present, no
time should be lost in removing the cause.
Delay may lead to gravel catarrh of the
bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage, and
sometimes requiring the drawing of the
urine with instruments, or may run into
Brights Disease, the most dangerous stage OF
kidney trouble.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great dis
covery of the eminent kidney and bladder
specialist, is positive remedy for such dis
eases. Its reputation is worldwide and it is
so easy to get at any drug store that no one
need suffer any length of timefo want of it.
However, if you preler to first test its
wonderful merits, mention EVENING HERALD
and write to DIR. Kilmer & Co.. Binghamton,
n. Y, for a sample bottle and book telling all
about it, both sent absolutely free by mail.
