by the removal Of DR.. Rosebro and his

the powerful congregation would find an
able and admirable successor, but some
of the most potent elements of a min

time.
DR.. Rosebro declines to say whether
ne will accept the call or not, saying
that he prefers to tell his congregation
of It before he gives his decision. Since
he has been pastor of Tabb-Street
Church, Dr. Rosebro has had calls from
some of the most influential churches
lin this country. He will probably in-
/ form his congregation of the call to-
morrow.

ing that there were comments upon 1t
during the day, and the suspicion was
raised that, perhaps, it was a yelled
criticism of our local city authorities.
If it was not-and We believe 1t was
not so intended-the glove fits the
hand, nevertheless. For instance, the
I~ntelligencer says:
THE great trouble with reforms of the
present day is tina they attempt to accom-
reformers attack technical violators of the
law but wink their eyess at t Whv grosRse sr
cause political reformers. forced 70 90
their duty by public sentiment, strike at
the least harmful violations Tor tne pur-
popular. These kind of reformers are not
sincere. They make big bluffs, and then
after the excitement cools down everything
is wide open again.
How applicable this is to Wheeling.
The last three Republican administra-
lions in Wheeling all went into office
with a pledge of reform" All the re-
forming they have done you can put
in your eye The town is notorious
the country over as wide open," n
the general situation is worse than it
ever was, even in the palmy days OF
the early seventies. The slot machines
flourish like a green bay tree. Those
who have an inclination to gamble ION
the green" or in any other way, may
pick and choose as to game and loca-
ton; the house of designation does
business at the old stand, those places,
infinitely worse than the regular es-
Establishments of the depraved morally
run along every day in the week
and every hour in the day; the streets
are infested with women of the town
as they never were before; and ru-
mors, insinuations and assertions fill
the air. Once in while a pull is
made, but it is for revenue only, and
the women of a certain nameleSs class
are the chief and most frequent victims.
The ordinance against offenses is a
dead Letter, and no class realizes the
fact more fully than those who violate
it daily and hourly.
Sham reform is a good phrase, and
it fits Wheeling like a glove. We have
the p~retense of action, but none of the
results of conscientious, earnest effort
under the laws, and the aims of good
citizens who seek at least some degree
of improvement are thwarted without a
protest and without comment by those
who are in duty bound to see that the
ordinances are faithfully administered.
Sham reform has perpetrated and
perpetuated many crimes against
decency and good government in
Wheeling. Well may the good citizen
exclaim: How long, o Lord! how
how long!"

k A HIGH PLACE.
Stands Well in the Estimation of
the People,
Attention is Naturally Excited When
Anything Is Praised by People
Whom We Know.

A Trims that stands high In the estima-
ton of the public. and which is especially
recommended by Wheeling people, natur-
ally excites our attention more than if our
own people did no praise the article. Such
a thing is going on right here in Wheeling
every day. people are praising Morrow's
Kid-ne-oids because they cure. There is
no humbug. no deception, they positively
cure, and we furnish the evidence.
We refer you to Mr.. John McCugh, No.
241s Main street. He says: II suffered
for a long time with disordered kidneys
and was never able to get any medicine
that would cure me. The pain across the
small part of my back would be so bad at
times that 1 could hardly attend 10 my
work. / seemed to be generally run down,
feeling more tired in the morning when
would get up than when I went TO bed ct
night. Some OF my friends recommended
me to try Morrow's Kid-ne-oids. n as
they were guaranteed to cure or the money
refunded. by Chas. R. Goethe. / secured
some from him and after 1 had taken
them for a few days. as the directions
said. 1 was relieved of the pain across my
back, and my general health was re-
stored
If you have any form Of kidney trouble
or nervous ailment arising from this dis
ease. check it at once with Morrow's Kid
ne-oids. Do not wait until il is too late
and then blame yourself for not listening
to reason and facts.
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pills, but
Yellow Tablets, which Is the most sc.eu-
tifce form of preparing medicine They

ment, and sell for fifty cents at ell drug

OIL NEWS.

Special to the Register.
ST. MARYS, w. Va, February 1.-The
cold wave has had a tendency to retard the
progress on drilling wells.
Very little of an interesting nature has
transp;red, and the fact that there is little
going to and from the fields makes news
painfully scarce, owing to the poor tele-
phone facilities. The G.. H.. Smith Oil Co.
were drilling in the sand at their No. s
G. C. Roby, with a showing for a good well.
A. A. Stewart is starting a well on the
J. P. Locke farm at or near the mouth of
Shawnee.
Zahniser & Co. scored a buster at their
No. l Leonard on Broad IN.
The Henry Oil Company are starting a
we'll on an untested lot of the G.. C. Roby
farm.
A number of Sistersville ladies have as
ISOLATED themselves together and will drill
a well on the j. P. Warner farm. Miss
Eva Nesbitt has charge Of affairs.
Have n Deep Well.
Sligle & Fried drilled their No. 1 Pole
Williamson into she top of the Injun sand
yesterday, and it Immediately filled up 600
feet with oil. A mishap to the derrick
has caused a delay and the well will not
be drilled in befcre tomorrow. This well
is located in the new field at the mouth
of Sugar creek, ald will cause the stock of
that pool to take a great jump.
In this pool Ssumaker & Glenn have a
dry hole at thei. No. 4 in the Cow run
sand, on Ebb Williamson.
The National Oh Company are about
ready to spud ae their No. l Williamson
heirs.
RICHTER & McCl alley nave their rigs about
completed for Mes. 5, 6 and Z Joe William
son.
Slemaker & GlSnn are starting No. 5 Ebb
Williamson.
The Jarvis Ois Company are pumping
their No. l Ruck.nan, on Buell. creek, with
satisfactory results, and will drill several
more wells during the coming spring.
Boggs & Co. are starting a rig on the
Martin heirs in the Shawnee field. In the
same locality tho Kraft Oil Company are
drilling at their 40. 5 Rice.
The Shawnee Oil Company are starting
some new work on the Warner.
The Injun well at the court house is be-
ing put in shape, and il is thought that the
production will gradually increase. 1t is
now pumping about 20 barrels a day.
Boyd & Co.'S 80. l on adjoining lot has
a fishing job at about 500 feet. 1t is
thought that little difficulty will be ex-
perienced in getting out the lost tools.
In the French Creek field several wells
are drilling but are not of a sufficient depth
to cause CONNECT.
In the Long l.un field Zahniser & Co.
are starting anather well on the T. ].
Taylor.
Z. W. and H. g. Mallory have purchased
the W. E. Bier 15-acre lease with one pro-
ducing well for 5000. This lease is located
on French creek proper and is considered
very cheap. The new owners are now
sending supplies and will drill two or
three wells at once.
The South Penn Oil Company yesterday
purchased from Russell Smith a one-fourth
interest in the Wingrove lease with one
producing well for 5000. This lease is on
the right hand fork of French creek, and
locke very promising.

the cHfSE AND IT'S CAUSES.

The Wheeling Register of this morning
has a lot of political rot in connection with
that would make a hog abandon its wall
low, If injected in it. There is nothing
whatever yet disclosed to show that poll
ties had anything to do with the late ter
rible Kentucky MISUNDERSTANDING
State Journal.
The above refined and altogether
happy reference to the genus sus
might create the impression in some
minds that the force Of the State
Journals criticism lies in it's own ap-
plication, but we'll let that pass to
take up it's later remark that there
is nothing whatever yet disclosed to
show that politics had anything to do
with the late terrible Kentucky trag-
edy."
This is scarcely a question of opin-
ion, but one of facts, and the State
Journal is respectfully but earnestly
referred to the presence in Frankfort,
q week or more ago, of nearly n
thousand armed Republicans from the
mountain counties, part of a brigade
of three thousand men summoned to
appear before the boards as wit
nesses; that these armed men, when
they learned they had, by some misap-
prehension, appeared on the wrong
day, left with the statement they would
be back; that many Of them did re-
turn, fully armed as before; that on
the day and at the hour and minute
the assassin fired on Goebel the Office
building on the State House grounds
contained many armed Republicans.
who prevented access to the interior and
search for the assassin for a period
that the identity of the man who fired
five shots at Goebel and his compan-
ions has been successfully concealed,
and neither has a reward for the
would-be murderer been offered, nor
any steps taken to identify and arrest
him, beyond tie efforts made by the
Frankfort city authorities.
Other considerations and facts,
pointing to a conspiracy, but still lack
inG in final proof, might be cited, and
a S. .dy of the whole deplorable affair
I.ads inevitably to the conviction, not
thai Goebel was to be r.Irdered as the
result of a deliberately laid partisan
plot. but that the crime is due and
was made possible by the ~dull-dozing,
revolutionary and lawless policy of the
Republican leaders. At no time has
there been adequate necessity for the
presence os armed men-least of all
of armed political partisans--in Frank
fort. To bring them there was to in
vite disorder and lay the foundation
for murder. The result is before us,
and the viciousness Of the procedure
which led to that result is fully appar-
emit.

RIVER AND HARBOR WORK.

The probabilities are there will be
no appropriation of money for river
and harbor work at the present SEES
sion of Congress, owing to the great
pressure from other directions for all
available funds. This does not mean
that work will stop, however, as De-
cember 31st last large balances were
available for almost every item of
work contemplated, in all parts of the
country. Brigadier General John M.
Wilson, chief of Engineers, U. S. A.,
has just compiled a statement of these
balances for Chairman T. E. Burton,
of the House Committee on Rivers and

the following sums are available for
