CADIZ, O., April 26.-In North
Township jennings & Co. have COM
pleted their No. 20, on the Custer farm,
and have a fifteen barrel well. 1t is
said the entire twenty wells do not
vary more than a barrel, making an
average of fifteen barrels a day.
In the Pixies Peak region, our and a
half miles southwest of Cadiz, the DR..
Ross Co. of Brooklyn, N. Y, is pre-
pairing to drill three more wells. They
have two very light producers on the
Mehollin farm and seem to have faith
in the territory.
The injunction suit against the
Bricker Oil Company, which was
heard at Steubenville before Judge
Mansfield on last Saturday, has been
decided in favor of the company. The
cause of the trouble, which threatened
to seriously interfere with the COM
pany's business. was the result of
claims that certain leases were taken
by parties who were now interested in
them. The proof showed they had lost
all interest long before the leases were
taken by the Bricker Oil Company.

WESTON, w. Va, April 26.-The
South Penn Company drilled in a well
in the Ffnk's Creek field this afternoon
on the A. T. Gooden farm. The drill
stem is in the well. The well is cap
ped and flowing into the tanks. The
well is v~ariously estimated at from
500 to 1000 barrels. The gauger, it is
said, only claims it to be doing 800
barrels. The Fink's Creek field is To-
Gated ten miles northwest of the Cam
den tract The coming in of this well
has created some surprise. for the rea-
son that a local company just COM
.pleted a dry hole within 200 yards of
the Gooden gusher.

that he was hit by Colson's first shot, and
that DemaFee was killed by Colson's reck-

1t is regarded as fortunate that the affair
had no relation to politics, and that both
the principals and two Of the dead be-

the affair cannot be traced TO politics 1t
is believed the affair VIII have a terroriz-

here. The crowds in the city were smaller
today than any day this Week.
The shooting grew out OF an old feud,
which originated over a trial by court-mai-
tial of Scott on charges preferred by COL
son. Scott was first lieutenant in Il reg
ment of Kentucky volunteers. of which
Colson was colonel. When the regiment
was mustered out the two men met in
hotel in Chattanooga, Tenn. and engaged
in a personal encounter, in which Scott shot
Colson, inflicting a severe wound.

Purpose of the Government Regard
ing tho PHILIPPINES.

Mr.. Wellington yesterday introduced a
joint resolution in the Senate declaring the
purpose of the government with reference
to the Philippine Islands,
The resolution sets forth the government
of the United States does not consider the
payment of S2o,@nooo to Spain on account
of the Philippines AZ "a purchase either 81
lands, persons or privileges of the inhabit-
ants of the Philippine Islands, but that
such payment was made with the friendly
purpose of abrogating any claim Of sover-
eighty that was then lodged in the Spanish
government and to prevent the intervention
OF other foreign powers in Philippine at
fairs
The resolution further sets forth that il
is not the purpose of this government to de-
prlve the Filipinos of their right of self
government, but pledges them the protec-
ton of the United States in establishing
a republic when law and order shall be es-
tabliShed.
