who have locked into the ccnditionIs'in
the Pei-Ho Valley are inclined to be-
lieve that the fear of famine is we'll
foundd Already there Is considerable
suffering, although fresh produce is
coming in slowly, and what the result
will be when frost puts an end to veg
citation is not difficult to foresee. Rice,
the great staple of China Is no longer
in the market this far north. Every
sack of the white grain has been COM
mandeered or purchased by the allies,
and the natives, thus unable to buy 1t,
must depend upon the charity of the
forces The Cupply on hand Is none
tco plentiful 1t is practically impos-
sible to even roughly estimate the
quantity but it is stated to be consider
ably less than normal. Usually at this
season the river is crowded with ves
so,s bringing the winters supply of
r.ce from the South, but now every
available craft is in the service of the
forces, transporting supplies and ma
terials, consequently there is little
chance that any considerable quantity
IF rice can arrive between now and
tfe freezing of the river. The situa-
ten is considered to be very critical,
ard the outlook is for great loss of
life. AT best, the military authorities,
q, urith q q tin hi OF nj h,,tif,tn IF
food and acting in concert, could re-
'ieve only tithe of the people, and no
7rch arrangement or agreement is
probable. AT best transportation in
ie winter is a difficult matter, and
every resource will be taxed to pro-
vide for the big army which will be
scattered from the coast at Taku up to
Peking. The army must be few, and
fs' it will be while the natives starve.
Every nation is rushing in supplies,
there is not an available boat but is
pressed into service, and even now the
lack of bottoms is a serious one. BY
December 1st the Pei-Ho river will be
frozen as well as the Gulf of Taku on
whcih ice forms for ten or twelve
miles cut, and superhuman efforts are
Being made to take advantage of the
remaining weeks of autumn. There
has already been some informal dis
cuS:,on as to the means of keeping
communication by water open after
Inc with tho racti1t that thapn i-
tentative understanding that the
Russian force will bring in an ice boat.
The heavy tides prevent any great
thickness Of ice in the Gulf, and it is
channel can be easily kept clear to
Tcng-Ku, the railway terminal. The
river is a more serious matter, and it
is not likely that any attempt will be
made to keep it free. In this way the
railway will be taxed to it's utmost
cs scacity.
All the governments are employing
native labor freely, but the supply is
ESQ far in excess of the demands that
the percentage of those who will thus
be enabled to live through the winter
is extremely small. The belief is gen.
cral that starvation cannot be avoided
at this late day, and even the most
conservative foreign residents are all
conversant with conditions, admit
that the coming winter will be ter
rible Cne in the Tien Tsin country.

There was a lawyer in the lnGlan
country who had none too good repu-
tatiou for honesty, says the Chicago
News.
one Of the aborigines employed him
to do little legal business. 1t was
done to the clients satisfaction, the
fee duly paid and a receipt for it duly
demanded. - receipt isn't neccssa-
ry." the lawyer said. But want it,"
replied the red man. There was some
argument. and the attorney finally de
manded his reason. "Since becoming
a Christian ! have been very careful
in all my dealings that | may be ready
for the Judgment" answered the brave
sententiousiy. "and when that clay
comes don't want to take time to 90
to the bad place to get my receipt from
you" The receipt was made out aId
promptly delivered.

SOME SPECULATION
About the Prospects for Oil in West VIr-
ginia Fields.

From the present outlook for devel-
opment south of the Little Kanawha
and the actual work commenced and
under way it is possible that the Board
of Trade of Parkersburg will in the
near future be able to offer free fuel
to as large a number of manufacture
ing concerns as desire to locate here.
From the development CT oil and gas
territory made in all directions, from
this city. and more particularly on the
south side Of the Kanawha, it would
appear that gas will be found in large
quantities.
The South Side o. Cc~r7Ny's well
was put to pumping cl Sunday and
has been producing oil and salt water
in large quantities since, with the
amount Of oil increasing steadily. The
torpedo which was put off in the well
dislodged large quantities of floating
sand, and this has given the bumpers
much bother, as the sand wears off
the cups from the sucker rods, and
they have to be drawn up and the cups
renewed, which causes quite a waste of
time 1t is thought, however. that this
difficulty will soon be done away with.
The report is that several other wells
are to be drilled in the near future,
close to the present one. The sand in
this we'll is of good thickness and of
good quality and the strength it has
shown has created much interest. The
land adjoining the well has been leas-
ed and a good bonus has been paid.
One of the promoters Of the South Side
well is negotiating for land lying to the
south and west distance of from sew
en- TO eight miles and company has
been formed to drill as soon as two or
three more pieces of territory can be
leased.
The statement has been made by
many, including gecloglst, that no oil
was to be found south of the Kanawha
river, as limestone formation took the
place Of the oil bearing strata.
Some cime ago the Lehman well on
the Devall farm made a good showing
of both oil and gas. The we'll drilled
about three miles southwest of the
Lehman well on the Oliver Stevens
farm showed a gccd quantity and quail
ity of sand and the Wagal farm and
the other on the W. S. Parker farm.
found the regular oil and gas forma-
tions. Since then Buffalo parties have
drilled a well on the P, Eaton farm on
the middle fork Of Lee Creek and
found the formations regular with 12O
feet of Big Injun sand.
p w. Roth and some Pittsburg par
ties are drilling a well on the Wood
yard farm one mile north Of VAUDEVILLE
and other parties are about to com
mence drilling On the J. NJ. Kincaid
farm and Crawford & Company have
let the contract for a well to be drilled
near the mouth of Missouri Run. All
these wells are en- adjacent territory
and it is thought that this territory is
about the right distance from the Hen
dershct and Murphytown fields for an
other good pool to be found. 1t is a
forgone conclusion that the territory
will be thoroughly developed within
the next three months and in case gas
is found in any Of these holes it will
be piped here and offered at a rate
that will defy successful competition.

the human body with its 492 bones

this respect compared with the carp.
That remarkable fish moves no fewer
