YESTERDAYS MARKET,

The we'll on the s. B. Hildreth farm
which is owned by Chas. Miller and
other Marietta parties, was drilled in
to the sand at depth of 1856 feet. The
well started to flow and tanks were
taken out to save the oil The produc-
ton has not yet been determined, but
it is expected that the well will be a
good one. This well, if it proves to be
paying producer, will open up large
lot of new territory.
The we'll on the Sheppard farm,
which is being drilled by Sloan &
Wharf for Harper, Davis, Scott and
others, reached the Mitchell sand at a
depth of $50 feet. No Gil was found in
this sand, but the well will probably
be drilled deeper.
Meisenhelder & Wyvell are drilling
their No. 3 on the w. II. Miller farm
They expect to reach the shallow sand
at 1870 feet The well will be complet-
ed in few days.

with the necessary details, will stay a
few days with us In order to arrange
for the transportation of the Sixthis
baggage and camping utensils. The
hospital tent which has been well pat
ronized for the past few days, is prac-
tlcally deserted now. as every patient
is able to be out and can now dispense
with the hospital corps. Almost all
the cases which have been reported to
Dr. Waters were cases of temporary
prostration and we've relieved in a
short time. One man, however, was
taken seriously i'll several days ago and
the heart action was entirely stopped
for q few seconds. The soldier has suf-
ficlently recovered to stand guard
duty.
Blanket tossing seems to still be a
favorite form of amusement with the
soldiers and in almost all parts OF the
ground the shouts OF the "tossers" and
the protestations of the victim can be
heard This forms one of the soldiers
amusements and seems never to fail OF
yielding fresh pleasure. Many tricks
are practiced on the unwary
recruit at night. Mock court martlals
are being held and those convicted
have to endure all sorts Of punishment.
Two privates were kept busy the other
night in carrying water and pouring 1t
on the captain. That officer was not
in at the time and the boys had their
working for nothing, but now that they
have been initiated the experience will
be valuable in treating others the
same way.

A Story From Canton.

Standing on his porch of Saturday
evening, the President looks down
North Market street to the business
heart of Canton and sees reasons for
the faith that is in him. The shop
windows are ablaze. Every bank is
open. From the factory suburbs come
professions OF alert, well-clad, content
ed-looking people. On the sidewalks
for half dozen blocks around the
court house one must accommodate his
step to the throng or take to the
brick-paved streets. 1t is impossible
not to catch the fine temper of the
crowd and feel elated over 1t. The
stores are full Of Saturday shoppers
Those who are not there to buy are
making a social evening of it. The
banks are doing business by electric
light and with steady run of patrons
Where the street cars transfer is jam
Good humor is general. In this city OF
1000 people the wallwisher will see
on Saturday nights in the summer OF
1900 such evidences of real prosperity
the prosperity that reaches every home
as will make him glad.
Mark Hanna, at the close of day in
Canton, with the conditions impressed
upon him, said:
81 understand Mr.. Bryan says he is
willing to give us all the votes of the
prosperous and take the rest am
ready to go to the polls with him or
that proposition.
The President has no fears about
November. This does not mean that ht
thinks vigorous and well-sustaine(
campaign is unnecessary The Presi
dent has been in politics many years
He understands the field that calls FOL
effort even with the best of causes. HI
was defeated for Congress once
through persistent and artful misrepre.
,entation of the tariff measure which
bore his name. True, the people raj
lied from the misunderstanding. and q
couple of years later advanced him tc
higher station than before.
Mr.. Mckinley is full of confidence
now because he feels sure of the
ground on which the Republican
party stands and equally certain that
the professions of the Democratic
party are not those which the major
ity of the people will sustain. But the
President would not abate in the least
The vigor of the campaign. He would
have misrepresentc ton met with
ruth. Republican policies and prin-
ciples defended by those entitled to
speak for them. He would have the
campaign conducted with no relaxa-
ton until the votes are in the ballot
box. He feels sure of victory. He be-
lieves the accentuation of that victory
by the largest possible electoral and
popular majority will advance the in
terests of the nation.
The President argues from perform
ance, from facts. His acceptance of
the nomination showed this not once,
but repeatedly.

Bill itOar,ls Going

In compliance with the orders of
Council, the unsightly bill boards on
the Ice Harbor lot are being removed.
This is but one step along the line
as laid out by the Improvement Asso-
citation and favored by the City Coun-
ell. 1t is hoped that by next spring at
least the Ice Harbor lot will take on a
different appearance and instead of be-
ing the city's dumping ground will be
transformed into a park or public gar
den of which the city may well feel
proud.

A PLEA FOR PEACE.
Montagu White Thinks Both the Eng
lish and the Beers Would Wei
come a Close of War.

New York. Feb. 12.-Montagu White
writes to the World as follows.
I am delighted to find that the pros
poets Of peace are increasing The heroic
resistance Of the Beers must convincing
~ satisfy the large body of impartial En-
glish opinion that they. are fighting for
the noblest principles of mankind-home,
freedom and Independence.
There was a strong minority in Eng
land bitterly opposed to this war from the
very first. 1 am perfectly sure that this
minority has been increased to a major
ity, although the sentiments of pride and
prestige may possibly prevent them from
openly advocating the cessation of hos
tilities. It ought not to be impossible for
American sympathiZers and advocates of
peace to work on the lines of the concilia-
lion committee in England, and thus find
a means of securing conditions Of peace
honorable to both parties.
Although the Beers have shown mill
tary abilities which have surprised the
whole world. they are essentially peace
loving and the very reverse of what is
known as a. warlike people,. The fact
that their existence as people is at
stake accounts for their wonderful morale
and efficiency. They have means and the
determination to carry on a long war, but
I am sure that they would welcome any
efforts that would enable them to beat
their swords into pruning hooks, provid-
ing that an honorable and a permanent
peace could be assured"

In an Effort to Clear the Middle in

Cincinnati, Feb. 12.-Attorneys on
both sides are in conference here today

join the state board of elections and
the Democratic contestants for state
offices other than governor and lieu
tenant governor.
When the attorneys appear before
Judge Taft in the United States circuit
court of appeals this afternoon for a
hearing it is understood that the first
question for consideration will be that
of the jurisdiction of the federal court
in such cases. The defendants will hold
that it is matter for final disposition
by the courts of Kentucky.

STAMP 1T QUIT
Time to Stop Trifiing With
Smallpox Cases.

Policeman Frank Hendricks, who has
been sick with smallpox is much worse
today.
Hendricks was very low for three
days but rallied and was thought to be
out of danger. Yesterday he had re-
lapse and today is delirous and in a
precarious condition. His case is one of
the severest yet reported.
There is a "chickenpox' card on the
door of the house in which Hendricks
lies at the point Of death. Isn't it about
time for the city board of health to
abandon this childish deception. Moth
ing is gained by placing a chickenpoX
label on house infected with small
pox and much may be lost by endan-
gering lives and spreading the disease.
1t is time for Mayor Drew 20 insist that
the board of health shall treat small
pox as smallpox or to find a board of
health which will The epidemic is
costing the city thousands of dollars
which might have been avoided by iu-
doctors quarreled about the nature of
the disease it spread and gained a foot
hold which is a serious menace to the
city.
On the place of business of Homer
Hiatt on East Fourth street there is a
chickenpox card though Hiatt died with
a most malignant case of smallpox,
pronounced so by the city physician
and others. There are two more in
fected houses in the same block bearing
'chickenpox" cards.
The quicker the smallpox cases are
treated and quarantined as smallpox the
better it will be for our city, morally,
physically and financially. Let us stamp
it out and stop all this expensive and
fatal play on words and on the health
and lives of our people. There are
cases of chickenpOX. Let them be called
chickenpox and treated accordingly.
There are cases of smallpox-known to
be smallpox and it is an outrage to
call those cases "chickenpox" and label
them so.
Topeka is not alone in this matter
Smallpox and chickenpox are prevalent
in scores of cities and towns in the
west. Let us do our share to stamp it
out. 1t can be stamped out" but it
can't be coaxed to go away. 1t must be
crushed out
