Braddock & Cadiz Oil Company has
taken leases in Athens and Short
Greek townships, and will develop. So
far the trend of the field appears to be
east and west. Hartman & Co. on
Moorehead farm, was abandoned at
900 feet, due to the fact that the Rife
well came in dry.
At Jewett, Morrow Bros. have 5
barrel well on the Morrow farm. Web
ster No. has been drilled in and is
dry New wells have been started on
the Baker and Galbraith farms.
At Wellsville the French well was
drilled in and is small producer. The
Motonnan's well, on the Nicholson
property, was completed, and is dus-
ter. Shortage of fuel is affecting oper-
atoms. The Boyd well is good for 8
barrels.

The arrival of Ignace Paderewski at
New York, Wednesday last, has excited
large amount Of interets among mu-
steal people al. over the country. The
famous pianist's managers have been
just mite anxious as to what effect
his marriage last summer would have
on his popularity with the feminine
portion of the community. They were
still more anxious when they heard
that Nine. PadereWski had ac-
companied her husband to America.
They had scarcely bargain for that,
and, indeed, they had understood that
Nine. Paderewski did not inlelG to
cross the Atlantic. 1t seems, however,
that at the last moment she decided 10
come along, and come along she Gid.
Bul she will not travel with her hus-

where she took the train for Boston.
She has friends in that city, and she
will remain with them until the pian-
.St's tour is over, next spring. they
they will go back to Europe together.
Nine. Paderewski was formerly the wife
of GorSki, the violinist, from whom she
secured a divorce some time ago. She
was married to Paderewski at Warsaw
last June. His opening concert will
occur Tuesday evening, at Carnegie
Hall, New York, and the second next
Saturday. He then goes to Boston, and
from that city will start On long tour.
He will play in Pittsburg, at date as
yet unknown, and may possibly come to
