Something New
fOrgirIS andbOyS
During the past year st. Nicholas
Magazine, which has been for nearly
thirty years the leading children s
monthly magazine of the world (and
now the only one), has introduced
several new departments which have
been extremely attractive and have
greatly increased the circulation. One
of these is
MATURE AND SCIENCE"
Don't bother me-Im too busy
is too often the remark from a grown
up person to child who really wants
to know. The editor of Mature and
Science" gives careful attention to
every question asked by his young
readers, and 1--WE viii write to st.
Nicholas about it" has become the
motto of the department, which con-
tains interesting short articles, beau
tifully illustrated, telling of four
footed animals, birds, insects, water
animals. plants, and whatever pertains
to nature.
Isl. NlCHOI1AS LEAOUE
is an organization of those who req d
the magazine (whether subscribers or
not), without dues, and it offers
prizes each month for the best draw
ings, photographs, poems, stories,
puzzles and puzzle answers. Some Of
the work sent in by young folks shows
surprising talent.
No one who does not see "St.
Nicholas" can realize what an inter
esting magazine it is, and how ex-
quisiteIy it is illustrated; it is sur
prise to young and old. OF literature
it contains the choicest. and in art it
has never been surpassed by any
grown folks periodical: The new
volume begins with November 1900,
and the subscription price is $500 a
year. If there are children in your
home, you can hardly afford to be
without it.

j. Mack Sholl, chairman OF the
bureau of speakers for the Illinois re-
publican state central committee, was
in Galesburg yesterday on his way to
Chicago. In q little chat with the
reporters he gossiped interestingly
about several matters relating to the
late republican hippodrome race in
the state. Speaking about the gath
ering with Gov. ELECT Yates, in Chi
cago, Saturday, he said that Judge
Sherman was on everyone's lips for
the speskership of the next legisla-
ture, and that the judge would IN
doubtedly get the plum. 1T was
Sherman's day" he said. Anent the
subject of redistricting the state, he
remarked:
That's one of the things we're
going to get after right away. This
time we'll fix it so that we won't have
to carry the state by 100, 600 majority
to get a working majority in the leg
islature. AS it is. however, we shall
have a majority of over 20 on the
Joint ballot, and this will be plenty to
elect Cullom to the United States SEN

1t is q militant coincidence that
Congressman Marsh, of Warsaw, and
Lentz, of Columbus, who had fight
on the floor of the house during the
last congress, are both outside the
hreastworks since Tuesday last. Lentz
was defeated by six votes and Marsh
by 319. If the tables were turned
there might be contest and parti-
san house would seat Marsh. But
Lentz was democratic burr and the
republicans were afraid OF him. They
would rather go against his weight in
wild cats.

A BOOM IN OIL WELLS.
Numerous Leases signed i'm Southern
West Virginia.

HUNTINGTON. ". Va, Feb. The
oil fever has struck number Of counties
throughout southern West Virginia, and
there seems TO be a general scramble for
leases throughout Mingo. Wayne, Logan,
Lincoln. Putnam, Cabell, and Mason couu-
ties, as well as just across the Ohio, in
Lawrence county, Ohio. The companies
most interested in securing leases are the
Triple State Natural Gas and Oil Company,
of this city; the Milton Oil and Gas COM
Dany, OF Milton; the Louisa Oil Company,
OF Louisa, KY; the Putnam Oil Company,
OF Winfield. and the Virginia Oil Compa-
ny. OF New York. Each company has a
number OF representatives ia the above
named counties looking after leases. and
in Logan and Mingo number Of wells
have already been put down.
The Triple State Natural Gas and Oil
Company, of this city, has drilled in sew
eral good paying gas wells in Logan coun-
~ and only recently an oil well came in
which promises 10 be good producer This
same company few days ago drilled in

RESTRICTED TO PEN AND INK.
A Regulation Governing the Filling
in of Checks,

The War Department has promulgated q
Treasury Department circular prohibiting
the use of stamp OF typewriter by United
States disbursing officers in filling up
checks drawn by them. The circular says:
Attention has been called to the grow
ing practice among disbursing officers OF
using rubber stamps or the typewriter to
fill in dates. places, names, and amounts
OF checks issued in payment of public cred
itors. The use Of either of these methods
is unsatisfactory and dangerous. Ex-
perience has shown that words and figures
so written on the typewriter are easily
erased. thus making substitution possible,
while the impression made by stamp is
often so dim as to be almost illegible.
Paid checks form important vouchers,
which remain permanently on file and are
often referred to years after their pay
ment. All United States disbursing Off
GERS are instructed 10 use pen and ink only
for this purpose"

Frederick, having in charge the prosecu-
ton of the war debt levied by Gen.
Jubal Early, July g. 1854, for s209, 900, the
various committees reported progress and
stated they had all met with much encour-

that when General Early started from Vir-
ginia to attack the National Capital a
friend In Virginia notified George F. Web

teBtion. This information Mr.. Webster
communicated to Washington. General
Early's spies In Washington learned how

Health, who had an analysis made Of sam
pies of Trenton's water supply which comes
from the Delaware River, has made
his report DR.. Mitchell says the analysis
does not demonstrate that the water is
carrying any typhoid bacteria" He does
say, however that the quantity of chlorine,
free ammonia. albuminoid ammonia and in
itiates found show pollution and he saws:

outbreaks of typhoid fever Will continue to
re-appear in Trenton until provision is
made for the publication of that portion of
the river water which is used for drinking
purposes"
