day after tapping a heavy gas pressure,
and then started off to flow 60 barrels
for the first hour, gradually dropping
down to 10 barrels an hour Monday
when shot was put in and the well be-
gan spouting oil at the rate Of 100
barrels an hour The heavy gas pres
sure and big flow rendered it impossible
to shut in the well for some little time,
and when this was finally accomplished
the drillers, derrick and everything else
adjoining the well was covered and
saturated with oil The oil spouted high
over the derrick and was the strongest
flowing well that has yet been brought
in by this fortunate company, as well as
the biggest producer since being shot.
1t is not, however, expected that this
record will be kept up long as the ter

the history of the house. The attend
ance that greeted the new stock com

ing was the largest of any opening day
since the stock company was first form
ed. Nor was attendance the only pleas
ing feature. The work of the company
was such as to call forth comment that
was almost extravagant in its laudation.
The patrons of the house were never
better pleased
Mr.. Spencer and Miss Gale also at
tracted especial notice, while the other
new members were more than satisfac-
tory In every respect the company is
better than ever before. Next
week the Company will produce
the delightful ante-bellum comedy,

Tho Meeting of the Tea chers.

The school teachers of Butler county
to the number of over two hundred met
in the Court House last Thursday after
noon and We're addressed by Sup't.
Fruit of Mercer county and Supt.
Painter of Butler county. The purpose
of this meeting, as we were informed by
Supt. Painter, was to bring before the
teachers, and especially the younger
ones, some of the ordinary, practical,
yet important) school questions, which
every teacher must meet in his or her
work. He believes that much of the
work done in the regular County Insti-
tute is rather beyond the average teach
er and endeavored in this meeting to
speak to the teachers on some import
ant points which the paid instructors
seldom mention.
Each of the speakers made good prac-
tical addresses, and from the reports
which come to us from various teachers,
we think the meeting was a most decid-
ed success.
Sup't. Painter had for each one pres
ent school law a copy of the State
Constitution. and some pictures.
Through the kindness of the Butler
County National Bank each teacher also
received copy of the Butler County
Centennial Souvenir.
This is a new feature in the school
work of Butler county and we think
Sup't. Painter is to be commended up
on the untiring efforts which he is put
ting forth in behalf of our schools
