PARKERSBURG, w. Va, October 81.
The oil business in Wood county is
just now enjoying great boom. The
latest venture to create excitement was
completed in the Cow Run sand on Big
Run, this county, Thursday. The well
is now doing 20 barrels an hour and
belongs to Uhl Bros, Matthew Mayhem
and John Porter. The we'll was max
ing this flow when but three feet in
the sand, and is expected to at least
increase in production one-fourth when
the drill is sent through or Into the
sand. 1t will be cleaned and given a
shot.
Hochstetter G. Co., who are still do
ing some work in the old Wayerly field,
drilled in a well on the Ingraham farm
about the same time which is esti-
mated to be good for at least 200 bar
rels daily. The well was drilled by
this comany in abandoned territory
and it was a great surprise to the tall
ent, especially those operators who in
the early excitement of the field left
the land as little or no good.
Near Briscoe, the Billo No. l well is
demonstrating that the pool in that
territory is deep one. The venture
was put down by party of operators
from this city and was sent through to
the Berea formation, and in this sand,
after being cleaned and put to pumping,
is considered good for 10 barrels daily.
Other wells in the same locality have
all been small producers, but the CEN
ter of the pool, which is still being
drilled for by other operators, will be
struck, it is thought, soon.
In the exchange of the oil lease on
the A. o. Wilson farm, at Rutherford,
(which was made several times by
some operators in the course Of a few
hours at that place recently, one of
the operators Melted three thousand
dollars by the transaction.
From the amaunt of leasing that is
being done in the vicinity of the Polk
farm well in Gilmer county, it is
thought operators consider that terri
tory very promising, although little is
known Of the well which is creating the
excitement

Every one who has had, or has kidney
complaint, OF any of the train Of con-
sequents which follow in the wake OF
that trouble, knows lust exactly how

The Human BODY.

Science is paying more attention to
the mechanism of the human body
than ever before. 1t has found that all
achievement, success, or failure, hap
piness or misery, is controlled by the
body. The lesion is obvious. I'M
prove the body. This car only be done
through the stomach. If it is weak,
it produces poisonous refuse, and de-
bilitates every organ In the body. 1t
may be made strong and kept strong
by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
This is a natural stomach remedy
which acts quickly and gently. 1t will
cleanse the system, wake up the liver,
stimulate the kidneys and improve the
general health. Ask your druggist
for it, and see that a private Revenue
Stamp covers the neck of the bottle.

Alralfa In the yakima valley.

Alfalfa was known more than two
thousand years ago. The Greeks and
Romans greatly appreciated its merits,
and since that time it has increased in
value, until now, it is almost a neces-
sity and is raised in every part of the
world where it is possible for it to
thrive. At the time of the Spanish
conquest it was introduced into MeNi-
co, thence into South America, Chile,
and in 1854 California and Washington
made its acquaintance.
The climate and soil in the Yakima
valley, Washington, are especially
adapted for the successful growing Of
this plant, closely allied to the clover
family as it is, but serving as a finer
fodder. One of the most attractive
features of the Yakima, from April to
December, inclusive, is the beautiful,
dark rich green of the alfalfa fields.
Five dollars an acre will usually cover
the cost of seeding, while it is sold at
SIS a ton for feed, aud 50 when baled,
and as the atmosphere is so dry and
warm, barns are unnecessary for
storage.
If, after each cutting, the fields are
irrigated, a crop of from two to three
tons per acre may be harvested every
six weeks during the ummer Usu-
ally it is so arranged that a ~siNty-acre
field can keep a haying outfit busy
during the entire season, as one part
of the field will be in blossom while
another is being cut, and still another
part growing up. The cause for this
rapid succession of crops is that the
roots grow to be several inches in cir
conference, and extend downward al
most indefinitely until water is reach
ed. Thus in a porous and deep soil
such as is found in the Yakima, they
will sometimes sink to a depth of TWEEN
ty-tive feet or more. Some almost fab
ulous tales are told of miners coming
across old alfalfa roots which have sup
posedly extended downwards hundreds
of feet. Nevertheless, alfalfa, on ac-
count of its rapid growth, and the
small cost of originally starting a field
and v afterwards. harvesting from
the first seeding, has become II OF
the most popular, if not the most pop
ular branch OF farming in the great
and fertile Yakima Valley. Write tc

do not scold them. / would not in

l only urge in all seriousness and with
all the intensity of my being that the
repetition of former mistakes 'be for
ever avoided.
During Mr.. Cleveland's second adj
ministration, u excess of exports of
merchandise over imports was in round
numbers, $500, 100000; but in the three
years of McKinley's administration,
this excess of exports was $1,400,00o,-
900, an even billion better in shree
years under republican administration
than in four years under democratic
rule. The best year we ever had un-
der democratic administration was
S237, 000, 900 in excess of exports over
imports, while the best year under re-
publican administration was $615 ,000,-
600. more than two and a half times as
much.
During Cleveland's second admins
t~ration, we exported $201, 000,0 900 more
gold than we imported; while during
the first three years of McKinley's adj
ministration, we imported 100000, 900
more gold than we exported. The
amount, singularly enough, is the
same, but in the one instance the bal
ance is against us, and in the other in
our favor. Quite a difference!
My friends on the other side insist
that we ought to increase our per cap
ita circulation. This has always been
done under republican administrations.
and even during Mr.. Cleveland's first
Administration the per capita circula-
ton increased 23 cents. Ddring MIR
Harrison's administration, however, il
increased more than six times 90 cents
to-wit, $3.50. But under Mr.. Cleve'
lands second administration, it de
creased Is times rs cents. In Other
words, during these four years we los
$5.34 OF the per capita clrculdsloh Which
we had already acquired; and the dem
{ ocratic party declared in Chicago tina
J they knew of no way by which this los:
|, could be retrieved except by depreciat
t ing the standard, and resorting to tn
/ free and unlimited coinage of silver
The republican party was authorizes
