PURE room BILL.
Delegate Swisher Making an Effort for
Reform in which Morgantown is In.
terested.

Delegate Charles Swisher, of Marion
county, has introduced a pure food
law in the house which he confidently
expects will pass. 1t is most dras-
tic measure and conyers all food and
medical products. Mr.. Swisher is
confident the bill will pass, and says
he is going to devote his time TO get
ting it through.
The bill is designed to prevent the
adulteration of food, drugs and dairy
products, and is modelled after the
Brosus law introduced in congress.
Drugs include all medicines and cos
metics, whether used on human be-
ings or animals, and they are required
to be up to the standard laid down
in the United States pharmacopoeia.
The adulteration OF candy with terra
alba, barytes, tale, chrome yellow or
other substances is forbidden. The
sale of any product from any animal
not killed by slaughter under health
full conditions is also forbidden.
The bill prescribes that all analyses
of food and drugs shall be made at
the agricultural experiment station at
MorgantoWn. and that by the official
chemist, for which he will receive an
extra compensation OF $500 a year.
This saves hiring a chemist at prob
able cost of $500 and also saves the
expense Of fitting up an elaborate lab
oratory. The chemist Is authorized
to employ clerks.
A food, dairy and drug commission
er shall be appointed at salary Of
$1,000 per annum. He shall have an
assistant at $500, and they are to be
paid actual expenses incurred in trav-
cling in the legitimate discharge Of
their duties. They are authorized to
seize goods for analysis wherever they
be found for sale, and manufacturers
are required to furnish them with
samples of their products when desir
ed The penalty for violation of the
bill is fixed at $25 to $500. fine and six
months imprisonment. An appropri-
alton of S., 500 is authorized to carry
out the provision Of the bill.

TWO CENTS
THOUSAND BARREL WELL.
South Penn has Encountered
one in Battellc.

Aecha Eddy Farm Brings Forth Ire
Strike at Home Interest However
Continues TO Center In Texas Record
Broken mt Home.
While Texas was doing her stunt
in the way OF gushers Monongalia
hasn't been so slow. We have
gusher in this county that is making
a thousand barrels each day. This
well would have amounted TO some
thing Ii the Texas wonder making
twenty times as much had not been
encountered. As it is 1t is making
very little SUR.
Our we'll Is producing only triae
over twelve hundred dollars day for
Its owners who are the South Penn
Company. They have to pay out one
eighth of this TO Mr.. Accha Eddy who
owns the farm on which 1T Is located.
The well Is the No. and the others
are producing great deal of oil al
though this is the largest one that
has been found In the county for some
time and crowds the record very close
Ii 1t does not break the record for
the county.
OIL men however are so crazy over
the Texas well which Is spouting out
low grade oil so fast that 1t cannot be
handled but runs In the streams and
great of it is wasted. The oil oper-
ators Of the country are going to the
scene as fast as possible
There Is very little OF mystery
around our well however as Ii Is In
well defined territory where the South
Penn has been getting good producers
for months past.
1t merely shows that the claim set
up by few people that this county
was back number as an oil producer
Is without foundation. There Is
many 1another gusher hidden away
that only waits the magic touch OK
the drill to reveal itself.
At last reports the we'll was sending
out forty barrels OF oil each hour.
