GREYHOUND BITE
CAUSES TROUBLE
E. Ferd Rogers. of JintOwn, in
Critical Condition as the
Result of Dog Bite.
Has Commissions
Upon Commissions
The Wound was in His Hand and
Healed up once-Dog Frantic
when attackingMr.R Rogers.
May have been rabid.

L. Ferd Rogers, OF Jimtown, one of
the county'S prominent and wealthy
citizens, became the victim Of dog
bite month ago, and is confined to
his bed in a very critical condition.
The wound healed at the time but for
the past twenty days or more, Mr..
Rogers has had numerous commissions
and his family, relatives and friends
are greatly alarmed,
The greyhound, which was domes-
tic of the back yard, caught his foot
in some manner in fence crack.
Hearing the dog bowling and making
a pitiful noise, Mr.. Rogers went to the
animals rescue. When he took hold
of the dog, it showed signs of rabidity.
Releasing the creature, Mr.. Rogers
flung it away from him, that 1t
might not do him injury. AT this
moment the dog became frantic, and,
in a ferocious manner attacked Mir.
Rogers, plunging its teeth, covered
with froth, through his hand, inhict-
ing a painful wound, the effects of
which is, doubtless, his present all
ment.
The greyhound was Immediately
killed and it is notrealiy known wheth-
er the animal was rabid or not, but
the effects of the bite indicate that it
was in that state when the bite was
inflicted.
The condition of Mr.. Rogers is such
that his recovery is very doubtful.

state. Recent issues Of that paper
saw. 1.-THE Mt. Shasta OIL and Devel-
opment Company has shipped its rig
and completed all arrangements for
material needed. This company will
he boring before the month is out in
both Shasta and Napa counties. Sec
rotary f. A Plymire, Of the company,
is ON the ground, and Highland T. Fin
nell, the manager Of the company, will
reach Redding before the end Of the
week and will take active management
of prospecting operations. Mr.. Thos.
A. Finnell, the president Of the COM
pany, is looking after the Napa coun-
ty holdings where public interest cen
tiers on account of the phenomenal
strike Of gushing springs of high
grade oil, made on the company's
land"
Mineral Wealth further states, "a
| 800 gallon seepage has been opened
up in the neighborhood Of the COM
pany'S holdings, and that the COM
pany will drill three wells at once. /"
BY the term "seepage" is meant
place similar to a spring, where the
oil oozes out of the ground. An in
teresting story is told of Mr.. Finnell
in this connection and its truth is
vouched for. The story goes, that
while out in a field one day Mr.. Fin
nell overturned a stone and oil guShsd
out like water from spring.
A competent chemist pronounces
this oil as splendid for lubricating and
fuel purposes. The price of 1t at San
Francisco is SO. So a barrel. The fluid
is found in paying quantities at 500
feet in depth.
McsSrS Finnell and Plymire will be
remembered by many here as former
residents and business men of Clarks-
burg. The company in which they are
interested has a large scope or terrific
ry and their West Virginia friends
hope their oil venture and luck may
make them millionaireS.

BAPTIST MISSIONARY CONFERENCE
Inte resting and Instructive Address by
Men Of National Repute.

The missionary conference, held at
the Baptist church, Tuesday, was
under the auspices of the American
Baptist Missionary Union, whose head
quarters are at Boston. These con-
ferenceS are held frequently at Diff
ferent places for the diffusion of mis-
sionary knowledge and the increasing
of missionary interest. Rev. T, G.
Field is secretary Of the Middle dis
trict, including Michigan, Ohio and
West Virginia, and the conference
was arranged by him.
The Baptist church here is the
largest contributor to foreign mis-
sions Of all Baptist church is in the
state, and because Clarksburg is
located SO well, it was thought best to
have conference here.
Among those present we're Rev. T.
S. Barbonr, d. D., Of Boston, foreign
secretary of Missionary Union: Rev.
Il. p. Haggard, Of Assam: Rev. It. G..
Field of Elyria, Ohio; Rev. Wheeler
BoggesS, Rev. W ]. Eddy. Of Fair.

Rev. L. f. Peters presided at the
morning session, when Rev. Wheeler
Boggess spoke on 1.-THE Present Hour
in Missions, ana remarks were made
by MeSSrs. Field and Haggard.
AT the afternoon session, Pastor
Mcdaniel presiding, there were three
addresses by Revs. Eddy, .Withers and
Dye, and then Dr. Barbour spoke on
THE Problem Of Missions ON It's
Homeward Side" The afternoon
meeting closed with an interesting ad.
dress by Mr.. Haggard, who for several
years was missionary In Assam. He
illustrated his address by showing a
number OF very interesting curios,
that he had brought with him. He
will return to Assam next fall.
There was large audience at night
when DR.. Barbour spoke for over an
hour, holding the undivided attention
of his hearers. AT the close OF his ad.
dress he dwelt particularly on the re-
cent troubles in China, showing that
the Boxer uprising was in no sense
due to the interference of the Mis-.
siouarieS in political things, as has
sometimes been charged. 1t was and
address OF power and eloquence, and
was greatly enjoyed by those who
heard it.

BED AFIRE WHILE HE SLEPT,
Charley Hurst Almost Meets Death by
Fire, while Asleep in Parkersburg.

c. c. Hurst, of Clarksburg, IA guest
at the Commercial hotel, had rather
exciting experience about o'clock
Monday morning, says the Parkers-
burg Sentinel He retired about 10
o'clock, but was disturbed by exciting
dreams Of confIagratijn, and was
awakened by Il burning sensation at
his feet. In half dazed way he OBJ
served that his bed was in flames, and
for moment he did not know whether
it was dream or reality, but the
blaze got too close his feet and scorched
them a little. Then he was satisfied
il was the real thing. Leaping from
bed he gave yell that reused every
body in the hotel, and in few min
utes crowd had gathered in his room
and extinguished the blaze, which en-
veloped the whole bed and had COM
municated to the carpet.
When Hurst retired he left the in
candescent light burning. This light
hung above the foot of the bed. Some
thing got wrong with the light as it
was OF such force that it melted the
small globe, and drops Of the molten
glass fell on the bed clothing, setting
it on fire. The light was still burning
after the fire had been extinguiShed,
with the globe melted nearly to the
metal, and with only about half an
inch OF carbon remaining in it.
