Chronicle of Daily Events of the
Town Across the Way.

Town Across the Way.
Yesterday the city made an appli-
cation to the c.. & P. company for a
lease on the grounds in question, for
the privilege of laying water main.
The charges against the G. & P. sec
ton men have been withdrawn. This
late action will probably end this trou-
BILE, and the city and railroad will
again be friends.
Some of the Republicans in the town
who thought they would keep the
Register from getting the returns
from the primaries, got badly = reIl
The Register had them, and inI the flu
ture will know 1sJy' 10 handle such
citizens.
Chasy.H Kelley, of Parkersburg, has
accepted a position with Frank Daugh-
erty.
The new suits for D. o. K. K. are
expected to arrive this evening.
All is not lovely among the Republi-
cans here and many are expressing
their opinions openly. One stalwart
member and worker stated that in
years past the nomination on the Re-
publican ticket was an assured cleo
ton, but now with more voters the
Democrats were winning because they
put ticket before the people that the
public had confidence in, and elected
it.
Roy Farmer has accepted position
as clerk at the Seneca Lyle grocery.
1t is rumored that Augustus Bried-
enstein will embark in the undertake
ing business.
H. T. Sells is in Cambridge on bus
mess.
Thomas Lewis left yesterday for In
dianapolis and other western points in
the interests of the National Mine
Workers.
A young son of Jas Holland. of West
Bridgeport, died yesterday morning.

Oil Found.

OH Found.
Oil was struck yesterday in the well
being drilled by Timblin & Co., near the
Belmont church, west of the city, The bit
reached the oil between 800 and 1000 feet.
The oil found is what is known as black
Oil, or better known as ground oil. This
oil will be cased off and the well will be
drilled to the Berea sand. This is said to
be a good sign, as this same oil was found
in the Sistersvile field, and was cased off
and the wells drilled to the Berea.

Wheeling is not the only ring ridden
city in the State. Huntington is just
now trying to rid herself of the clus-

Sympathy for the South African Re-

Englishmen are not safe on the streets

The Porto Rican tariff outrage has
caused something to drop mighty hard
on Mr.. McKinley's political toes.
Western Republicans are up in arms
