Tuesday evening he took supper in a
dining car attached to the train. When
he entered the car he hung his hat on
the rack. After the meal he repaired to
his sleeping car, forgetting to take his
hat with him. Yesterday morning when
nearing Pittsburg, 1t suddenly occurred
to him that his hat was in the dining
car. He started for the car, but found
that 1t had been detached from the
train. He was compelled to wall, hare
headed from the union station to his
hotel yesterday morning, and says he
was followed for several squares by

sell him a hat. Coxey likes a joke, and

OHIO STATISTICS.
More Sheep Raised But Horses,
Mules and Hogs Have
Fallen Off.

Auditor Reed has received copy Of
the statistical reportof the state auditor
in reference to the number of horses,
cattle, sheep, mules and hogs returned
for taxation. The report shows that
there were returned in 1899, 7O4165 head
of horses, which was a decrease from
the report Of 1898, of 1857. The auto
mobile can scarcely be the cause of the
decrease. This year 1851, ,251 cows fur
nish milk for the residents of Ohio, an
increase over 1898 of S5,5S7. There were
14,50S mules returned, showing fall
ing off in the long cared family of 522.
Sheep foot up a total of 2,512,761, an in
crease over the previous year Of los, 20S.
The pork crop shows a heavy decline.
There were 1,549,552 hogs in Ohio this
spring, while in 1898 there were 244, ,462
more than that figure.

A FINE FLOWING WELL
Secured By Company of Minerva
Capitalists Who Were Prospecting.
THE PRESSURE OF GAS
Is Sufficient to Insure Good Producing
Field, According to the story Re-
lated by q Member of the
Company In Canton
Today.

According to statements of Minerva
residents in the city today, fine flow
ing oil we'll was struck one and one-half
miles south east of that village Thurs
day. The we'll is owned by a party of
ten Minerva men who have leased a
block of !, 900 acres. Oil indications were
reached at 800 feet Monday. The drill
entered the Berea rock and on Tuesday
heavy charges of nitro -glycerine were
lowered to the bottom and exploded.
The pumps were put to work and the re-
suits were gratifying. Thursday the
gas pressure became sufficiently strong
to cause the oil to flow from the we'll at
about twenty-five barrel per day rate.
A member of the company who called at
the court house on business Friday
morning stated to a News-Democrat re-
porter that there is every indication Of
q productive oil field about Minerva.
The fact that the gas pressure is so
strong in the new well is considered in
itself indicative of first class oil territory.
Experts of the Pennsylvania field are al
ready on hand and the prospects are
said to be good for a repetition Of the
Scio boom.

JOSEPH KIEFFER
CAN YET SEE.
His Injuries Are Serious But He
Will Entirely Recover.
HIS CHEEK WAS LAID OPEN
And the Eyesight Was Injured But Attend
Ing Physicians Say That He Will BE
Able to See Almost as Well
as Formerly.

Sheriff Zaiser returned home from
Philadelphia Friday night, where he.
was in attendance at the G.. A. r. en-
campment Sheriff Zaiser stated to a
News-Democrat reporter that he was
the last man to leave the bedside of
Joseph Keiger Friday morning previous
to taking the train home The sheriff
brought the good news that Mr.. Keiffer
has not been rendered sightless by his
unfortunate accident but that the at
tending physicians at the Presbyterian
hospital where he is being cared for,
stated that their patient would be able
to leave the hospital in six or eight days
with his eye sight almost as good as be-
fore the accident. The sheriff said Mr..
Keiffer could see him and easily recog-
nized him Friday moTning. The cheek
was badly lacerated by the fall from the
street car but Sheriff Zaiser says the
reports sent out from Philadelphia were
exaggerated.
