A Sure Enough Gusher.

Clarksburg, w. Va, May 21.-The
Southern Oil Company drilled its No.
/ on the J. B. Whitman farm, near
Wallace, this county, six inches deeper
Saturday, and now have $500 barrel
well. The we'll was drilled to the Cor
don sand about two months ago, when
the we'll made 600 barrels for the first
few days aid then settled down to 440
barrels, which 1t has kept up ever
since. At the time the Whitman well
was first drilled in this territory was
new, but 3ow it is very active in de-
velopment and many wells are going
down.
The operators are having much
trouble coDfining the new production
from the we'll, and all kinds of rumors
are afloat there today.

The Presidents Health.

From Washington comes the repor.
that President Mckinley is so broken
in health that it will be necessary for
the Republican national convention tC
select a vice president not to appease
the defeated faction, but with respect
to his availability for the highest Of
fee This is not a new story. Alarm
ing reports with respect to the presi-
dents health have heretofore appeared
and this latest, so far as ii questions
President McKinley's physical ability
TO fill out another term, is doubtless to
be taken with some reserve.
II, however, the president were
weary and worn, it would not be
strange. No president. perhaps, since
Lincoln has borne the burdens that
Mckinley has had to bear. Great
questions of nationat policy have con-
fronted him from the first. When he
entered Office the Cuban question was
big before the country There wa
universal sympathy with Cuba, but il
was momentous thing to plunge the
country into war, even with so weak a
power as Spain. The demagogues in
and out of congress began immediate
ly to harass the president, to blame
him because he was conservative and
to accuse him even of criminiality be-
cause he sought to withhold the edic
till the resources of diplomacy were
exhausted Then came the war, with
it's constant anxiety and tremendous
work. Again the demagogues and sen.
sationalists accused him because there
were here and there mistakes in thi,
business of war which was new to ev-
erybody. The war, in spite OF the
croakers and the opposition of part
isans. was fought to glorious finish
Everything was done that it was
sought to do, and more. Many is
lands with large population fell to
the control OF the United States and
the trust was accepted because there
was nothing else that in justice to all
concerned could be done. Again the
demagogues sprang into activity and
their number was swelled by lot of
short-sighted sentimentalists who
thought they saw Imperialism in the
new conditions. They have called the
president everything from a wine
blbber to a murderer. The Mysteries,
shared by some whom the president
esteemed, knew no bounds. And now,
lastly. the demagogues are again ac-
cusing the president of being foe to
liberty because he has not yet gone To
war with Great Britain on account OF
the Beers.
What man could pass through such
a period OF burden-bearing for others
and bitter personal assault. OF anxiety
and abuse, without showing some
marks OF the strain and the stress
President Mckinley has held posi-
tion OF the highest honor for nearly
four years, but he has paid for 1t in
loss OF peace of body and mind. None
but man of the most complete self
mastery could have endured the half
OF IL without being physically wreck

HE'sGoING.


The Grafton papers announce
that "Dr. T. +. Lanham is to take
special course in medicine, after
which he will permanently locate in
Grafton.
When Senator Lanham moved
his family to Grafton Til. ARGUS
hazarded the prediction that the
Senator had left old Preston for
good and would cast his lot with
Taylor. This was stoutly denied
by the friends of the Senator and
the Senator himself made haste to
announce through the Sentinel that
he had no idea of leaving Preston
county
The ARGUS took the position
that inasmuch as Senator Lanham
had moved TO Taylor county that
Preston was entitled to furnish the
candidate for the next Senatorship.
1T memory is not at fault, the Jour
nal dissented and gave it as its
opinion thatit made no difference
whether Senator Lanham moved to
Taylor or remained in Preston that
Taylor county should furnish the
candidate.
1t is refreshing to note that the
Taylor county Republicans, who
are very much interested in this
matter, agree with THE ARGUS that
Preston will claim the honor of fur
nishing the candidate for the State
Senate.
The ARGUS has no personal or
political interest in it, but it has a
county pride, and that is that a
man whom the county has honored
moves into another county or State
forfeits the title of representative
for said county or State. If the
Journal can logically combat this
let it do SO. In the meantime THE
ARGUS hopes Preston Republicans
will display sufficient county pride
to claim the candidate and nomi-
nate man who will remain with us.

RETURNING CAMPAIGN FAyoRs.

First one scandal after another of
the Mckinley administration comes
to light. The Treasury Depart
ment has recently been shown UP in
very bad light and Secretary Gage
himself is authority for most of it.
The New York World and Journal
got after him and showed up con-
clusively by facts and figures that
could not be denied, how Gage was
having Government revenues de-
posted in the big Standard Oil
Bank of New York City, by the
millions of dollars, when the law
expressly requires it deposited in
the U. S. Treasury and provides
heavy fines. and imprisonment for
any violation of this Statute. Such
big stir was made over it that
Congress was forced to take some
action and the Democrats got a
resolution through calling on Gage
for an explanation and report of his
transactions and correspondence
with this Bank, which he was com
PEELED to send in and among the
correspondence were letters from
the Bank officers, asking him to
grant them these favors in return
for the big contributions of the
Bank to the Republican campaign
fund and also out of consideration
for the political pull of the Banks
officials. Now the big Republican
papers are jumping into Gage for
giving away party secrets and pri-
vate correspondence and altogether
it is a bad state of affairs all.

RAMBLER.

Congressman Romeo II. Freer
has announced himself as the anti
ring candidate for Governor on the
Republican ticket. We have no de-
sire to discourage Romeo in his
laudable ambition to shine as Gov
ernor of the greatest State, in the
Union, but if he will consult the
oracles he will learn that the
Bosses have formed trust and that
his name is not among the chosen.
That he will have a good sized
following in Preston cannot be de-
MED, but those carry the vote of
Preston in their vest pocket have
been labelled "a. B. White" by
authority Of yours truly, w. M. O.
Dawson. If any one fancies that
Preston will cast her vote other
than as Boss Dawson directs he is
laboring under hypnotic influence
and should take another dose of the
gold standard and prosperity.

A bill has been introduced into
the Y. S. Senate appropriating SIS, e.
900 for the erection Of FISH hatch
cry at some point in West Virginia.
The bill provides that the site for
the hatchery shall be determined by
the fish commission after the
money for it has been provided by
Congress. Some time since Fish
Commissioner George NJ. Bowers
found that the growing needs Of the
commission for fry fish for distribu
ton throughout a section which in.
cluded West Virginia, demanded
that an additional hatchery be
built Accordingly he requested the
West Virginia delegation to urge
the necessary appropriation for such
a building. Senators Elkins and
Scott will attend to the passage of
the bill in the Senate, and there is
little doubt that a handsome fish
hatchery employing anywhere from
three to ten men will shortly be
erected in the State.

1t is with regret that we learn that
Preston is to lose Senator Lenham.
He fought long and continuously
for Office while a resident of Pres
ton, and after knock outs too nu-
merous to mention, he finally sue
ceeded in capturing the Senatorship,
on account of postmaster w. H..
Glover surren6ering when he had
the Doctor groggy. The Doctor is
a good fellow socially and a politi-
cal Knockout never seemed to de-
ter him in entering the ring when
there was an office in sight. In
fact he apparently relished a politi-
cal Knockout and always came up
smiling for the next fight. To Tay-
Tor county Republicans we would
say treat the Doctor Senator gently
and give him any office he selects.
He is worthy and enjoys the dis
tinguished honor conferred. OF
course Taylor county Republicans
don't want office and it won't
seriously discommode them.
