TEN INCHES AND FALLING
Were the Marks on the Wharf at
Midnight.

Were the Marks ON the Wharf at
Midnight.
The river still continues to fall both
above and below here, and the pros
poets of rise are not very encourag-
ing. At the Davis Island dam the
water is held about stationary, but the
supply of water passing the dam IS
not enough to keep the lower river
from falling. At some points between
Pittsburg and Wheeling the river Is
hardly more than small creek, and
there is scarcely place where boys
cannot wade from shore TO shore. Be-
low here the river is lower than ever
before, and boats are constantly becom-
ing grounded on bars.
At the head of the island the water
is only few inches deep, except one
place a few feet wide. Another bad
place is at the lower end OF the Island,
where a bar reaches the best part OF
the way across the river. The Back
river is much worse than the front,
the bed being dry in several places from
shore to shore.
The marks on the wharf at midnight
showed 10 inches and falling.
The Telephone will leave this morn
ing at 11:30 for Marietta. This
is the only boat coming into this port
to-day. The Matte K. is tied up at
Matamoras.

a MONKEY HUNT.
An Interesting Time In the East
End.

En0.
Yesterday afternoon, although it was
Sunday, there was very lively time
in the East End, on Fourteenth and
Fifteenth streets A monkey answer
ing to the name of Bill, got tired of
spending his life at the end OF string
attached to it. Although his life was
not as much of a grind as the ltal1an
who turned the crank of the organ.
Bill wanted to see the world and hunt
up a couple of adventures on the way.
Things were progressing nicely until
he reached Fifteenth street Here sew
eral small boys saw him and immedi-
ately gave chase. Others joined In,
and when the chase was at dts height
very excited crowd was following. The
monkey led them a lively chase on
both Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets.
At last, becoming wearied OF the
worlds treatment to it, Bill lodged
into a building in the rear Of the Rev.
j. H. Littells residence, hoping to seek
quiet there Bill started out to seek
adventures and he got them whether
he wanted them or not. The crowd
tried to get him out of the shed, but
Bill was not coming. He had enough
exercise for one time, and besides, he
was kind of shy on making acquaint-
ances with strangers
One small colored boy, in his eager
ness to see the fun, climbed a telegraph
pole. When he reached the top he
found he could not see as well as ne
expected. He leaned forward to rub
Der, and to steady himself he reached
forward and caught wire. Now, If
some of the rubber had been in his
hand he would not have received the
shock he did. He dropped down the
pole, but before he reached the bottom
caught himself.
Meanwhile the Italian owner of the
monkey appeared, and after calling Bill
a few times he came from his hiding
place and perched on the owners Shout
der. He took him away the crowd dis
persed, and soon the locality was as
dull as Philadelphia.

OIL OPERATIONS.

EVANSVILLE, o., September To-
There has been a great deal of activ-
ity in the Graysville field during the
past week. There seems TO be no limit
to the pool. An amount of Indicating
has been done, but i'll no instance, up
to date, has any venture come in dry.
All the streams in the vicinity are
about dry and unless there is rain very
soon the operators will be forced to
close down. The scene all over the
field Is one of continued activity. Rigs
are going up constantly and every new
strike occasions a number of other rigs
to be started.
A number of rigs went through to
the sand last week and were shot, all
turning cut good producers.
On the Dellaplain farm Nos. 5. and
IL came in. Nos. and were shot on
Friday. No IL came in Saturday and
after being shot is doing about the
average in the field. This brings the
total up to nine producers on this
farm.
Grace, Heineman & Goldstein's No.
4 on the Eaton farm came in and was
shot Friday. Ii is doing about as well
as their No. g.
The Devonian Oil Company's No
on the Watson farm was shot Friday
evening and will average about SO bar
rels.
Boyer, Caldwell & Co.'S Mol on the
Gatchell farm, was shot Wednesday.

PITTSBURG, September 16.-Where
