MYSTERIOUS Fire.

The residence of Daniel Pfaff,
at Stanleyville, was entirely de-
stroyed by fire Friday morning
about four o'colck. The family
dog and found that the dread monster
mad already gotten beyond control.
they had barely time to get out of the
burning building, as the rooms were
filled with smoke from the flames
when they were awakened. The house
was insured in the w ashington Coun-
ty Mutual Association. The loss will
reach about $1,000. The origin of the
fire is not known, as there was no fire
in the house that any of the family
knew about.

AguinaIdo's American Assistants

Aguinaldo's American Assistants.
The confident young revolutionist
who claims the sovereignty of the Phil
ippines as his personal property, and
who assumes to be bigger than Uncle
Sam and Magellan combined, has been
much disturbed in his plans since his
were cut off. The comfort and aid de-
sired from that source are found now
to have been the larger half of his in
spiration. To sit idly in his capital"
near Manila and not hear of Senator
Hoar's elaborate Filipino orations, of
Mason's impassioned flights of fancy
of Hales resolve to vote against the
treaty, though the Maine legislature
votes unanimously the other way, is
painful state of affairs for Aguinaldo
The day hangs heavy when no synop-
sis of sympathetic eloquence flashes
from the POTOMAC to the Filipino cour-
lers on the Pasig. Cen Otis holds the
cable and has paralyzed the tender
cords of affiliation and mutual en-
couragement that have hitherto vi
brated between Aguinaldo and his
hackers in the American Senate.
In addition to this benumbing blow
Aguinaldo has discovered that he can
no longer import rifles and ammuni-
tion from Hong Kong. What is the
use of grabbing a historic sovereignty
if his trouserless army can not get
guns and cartridges to assist in ne
gotiating a national debt and getting
appropriations? Aguinaldo's army is
understood to number 10000, chiefly
boys who have no property of their
own to lose. They receive no pay, but
expect plenty of booty when the Unit
ed States is scared away and they pro-
ceed to help themselves to whatever
| they want in Manila as the only true
original representatives of the consent
of the governed. They know this is
so because they used to have a daily
assurance of it from Washington be-
fore the cable was censored, thus sew
ering the genial current that added
each day to Aguinaldo's demands and
the size of his hat. In the sacred name
of liberty, Hoar, Mason and Hale
should demand the instant opening of
the cable SO that their burning words
may reverberate in Aguinado's camps,
nervlng his street boys, uniformed in
straw hat, to open fire upon the Am
erican flag.-Globe Democrat.

Oil Notes.
Yesterdays MARKET.

An offer of 5000 was made yester-
day for small piece of territory on
the West Virginia side short distance
above Willamstown. There is some
production on the lease and it looks
promising.
Joseph Dutton drilled in well in
the first Cow Run sand on lie A.
Wiper and r. c. Smithson farm at
Macksburg Wednesday and has SO
barrel producer.
On Wilson Run, Washington county
the United States Oil company has
drilled in its No. A on the Ullman farm
and has a good producer. The well
PRODUCED 20 barrels the first IS hours
after it was dri. ed into the pay. 1t
was then shut down to erect more
tankage. The location is 500 feet
northeast of No. on the same farm.
This pool had not made good record
for the month previous to drilling in
the well mentioneu. There were four
"Cii9 SohhDiClCus bOSBS % W. BOJ IL
35 barrel producer at their test on the
English farm; the United States Oil
Co. got IL barrel producer on the N.
Cline farm; Henderson & Co. and the
Fisher Oil Co. got busters on the Il. C.
Edwards farm and the Edwards 60
acres.
Boggs Sc Co. have the rig up for No.
English, and are drilling at 900 feet
at No. 8 Walton, and M. Yost & Co.
have the rig completed for No. on the
Rex farm. The foregoing represents
the entire operations in the Wilson
Run pool for the month.
The Cow Run sand pool, below Will
Jamestown, Wood county, did fairly
well. There were nine producers and
four busters completed. The amount
of the producing wells was 260 barrels.
Their are six drilling wells and one
rig up at this time. OF all the Cow
Run sand pools developed during the
past year this has proven the most
prolific.
The old Macksburg territory is be-
ginning to show new life. More new
work is starting in that locality than
at any time during the past IL months

Boston Ladies' Symphony Orchestra.

The Ladies' Symphony Orchestra
made its appearance. at Germania Hall
last night and the large audience in at
tendance went simply wild over the
performance. The orchestra is COM
posed entirely of young ladies from
the drums to the violins. The unison
and harmony with which each selec-
tion was rendered and the perfect
grace and nicely with which the
whole program was given, lent a
charm to the entire performance.
The brass in the orchestra was ex-
ceptionally good and the solo work of
the young lady having charge of the
oboe was excellent, ALBANY Argus.
