Office OF clerk of the city. Capt.

clerk we have ever had. He Is al.

careful and painstakiug In his
work, he Is courteous to all
and keeps a set of books that Is a
credit to any city. We have no
doubt whatever about his being re-

an arrangement exists between the
so-called independents and the

price for high grade oil Is very low

The independent pipe line com
panies now controlled by the Pure
Oil company have been In existence
some ten years and as yet their al
legged independence does not seem
to be fully established. There Is
said to be invested In these enter
prises something like $1,000. 900.
which has mostly been paid by the
oil producers and from the earnings
during the period of their existence.
No dividends have been paid ex-
cept to holders of preferred stock.
In some of the companies the
Standard Oil company have their
representatives In the Boards of
Directors and the holdings OF stock
by the Standard Is said to be con-
siderable percentage consequently
1t Is reasonable to suppose they
have an intimate knowledge of the
affairs. There is no doubt that
had the oil producers been loyal
to the independent enterprises as
they were originally organized,
their condition would now have
been much better and they would
become more of factor In compe-
titiou. With the hardships forced
upon them by the Standard Oil
company during the early
days of the existence Of
the independent companies, many
producers were compelled to sur.
render their holdings and others
sold their stock tor the profit they
got out of their investment. The
Standard Oil company acquired
most of that stock and as conse-
~quence they have seen to 1t that
the independent enterprises have
done little to improve the condition
Of the producers. Some oil re6ners
identified as stockholders In those
enterprises have made handsome
profits, they having the .bene6t of
reduced pipeage charges. The
control of the Independent COM
gpanies has now been acquired by q
few large holders of territory and
production, the active management
resting with such large producers
as E. H. Jennings & Bros, III.
Murphy, T. w. Phillips and some
of the independent re6ners. These
men may make arrangements to
improve their own condition. but
the smaller producers who have
their holdings of stock can scarcely
hope to be benefited. Opportuni.
ties presented by the organization
of the independent companies
have been lost by the many
and seized by the few. It

We have In course of prepara-
ton an illustrated Edition of the
Oil Review, in.which 1t Is proposed
to publish reliable and authentic
information touching every impor-
tanr phase of the industries of Sis
tersville.
1t has seemed to as very op.
perfume undertaking, inasmuch as
at this time the attention of capital
has been attracted, to Us In small
degree, because ofthe recentachieve-
ments In securing different indus
tries, and particularly the very re-
cent locating of the glass bottle
factory here.
The Edition will be In handy
volume form, In order that the In
formation given In 1t may be far
and widely read, reaching the vari'
Gus boards of trade, industrial Of
CARNATIONS, banking and financial
centers, Real Estate and Builders
exchanges In every large city
throughout the United States.
The information will be carefully
studied, comprehensive, and only
such will be used IS would seem to
strongly attract capital for invest
ment. The entire edition will be
finely illustrated, wildly demon
strative Of the superior natural ad-
vantages of Our city. 1t will be
very concise and practical index to
the city as 1t Is today, insomuch
that 1t will forcibly commend itself
to the thinking mind, and will ap
peal surprisingly to many who have
hitherto only partially known of
the remarkable growth, thrift and
genuine public spirit now so ap.
parent In the biggest little city on
the West Virginia shores of the
great Ohio.
AS has been evident In the past,
the Review will always be found In
the front ranks amply ready to
support any legitimate movement
tending toward the general ad.
vancement of Sistersville, and In
harmony with the true. active
spirit of "town. building" would
recommend most hearty co.opera.
ton from every citizen and bust
ness man In Sistersville, to make
possible the Issuing of an edition
which cannot fall to result In much
practical good.
You will no doubt agree with US,
that the general object sought
should be looked at in the broader
sense, that a city Is only
popular and attractive to the
outside world when 1t is judiciously
and effectively advertised, and the
staunch upbuilding of city Is
largely due to keeping In touch
with the great moneyed centers of
the country at large.
The Review has engaged the
services of two gentlemen well
versed and favorably known as
strong promoters.through the press.
Our citizens may therefore look for
something particularly fine and up
to date in the forthcoming edition
which will be of strictly CONNER
cial character, and yet containing
Ill the necessary features to com.
mand the attention of all classes.

During the gale of night before last, the wind attained a velocity of forty-five miles per hour from the west. according to the record of the local office of the Weather Bureau, and for several hours 1t continued brisk to high, averaging about twenty-five miles an hour during yesterdav forenoon. The rainfall here was only AZ of an inch. but was some what heavier up the Coosa Valley; not enough, however. to cau~e any decided rise in the river

NO TRUTH IN REPORT.
Parties to Sensational Divorce Case
 Never Resided Here.

A sensational news item published fir Mondays Nashville News and which reported that the woman in the case resided in Montgomery. appears to be without foundation as no record as to whe the woman is could be found here. The Nashville News says:
 Neil c. Lowe was granted A divorce today in the Chancery Court from Lula Lowe. The contract was set aside on the ground of duress. From the state ments in the bill there was considerable duress involved in the contract.
 Lowe was an express messenger on the Louisville and Nashville railroad. He alighted at the depot, in Montgomery, Ala. some time since. and was met by the brother-in-law of the defendant. He was cordially invited to the nome of this hi hiother-in-law, and suspecting noth- ing wrong. accepted the invitation. On the way there he was met by the girl s brother and informed that unless he married her they would kill him.
 They marched him to the court house and obtained a license, He was then marched to the girls house and held a prisoner there until a preacher could be obtained The marriage ceremony was then performed"
 w. M Shoemaker. agent of the South ern Express Company says that no ex- press messenger named Lowe stops in Montgomery.
 An examination of the record at the Probate office for the past twenty years fails to show the name of the man men tioned in the news item.

WAS CONDUCTOR AsLEEPp
Citizen Complains of Conduct of Elm ploye of Montgomery Street
 Railway Company.

Tired from overwork and loss of rest, a conductor on the Montgomery Street asleep or was intoxicated yesterday morning. says a patron of the line.
 It is sald by some that the men are re- quired to work from twelve to fifteen hours a day, and that they are com pelled to eat their meals on the cars. This may have caused the conductor to fall asleep. or may have caused him to drink too much.
 Montgomery should be given protection. The following Is a protest from patron of the street car system against the in- competent or overworked employees, who are forced to ride on the cars: Editor Advertiser. Dear Sir:-Permit me to report through your columns an occurrence of this mourning. Highland Park car, No. 8, left the Basin this morn ing in charge of one conductor and two motormen. One of the latter was a green hand" Apparently this was the green hands, first trip. as he changed his re- sponsible post with an older employe on five or six different occasions, whenever he came to a difficult piece of track. On the back platform of the car stood the conductor. with eyes closed, holding the ing to and fro-either asleep or intoxi- cated.
 Giving the employe the benefit of the doubt, claiming the least. it is an out FdBeOuS tO tl6 ptOpie ol SstOHb- gomery for this company to place the lives of citizens in the hands of employees who are so unfit to attend their duties, or to offer protection and courtesy to the patrons of the company.
 Personally, have been in two wrecks on the cars of this company, and I cer- tainly do not class occurrences of this kind among the pleasures of life. Ladies especially cannot feel safe and comfort able on a car which is run by an incom- petent motorman and without the safe guard of a watchful conductor. This much may he complained of, if the con- ductor was only asleep, but how much more serious the offense of intoxica- ton A lady was on this car and wish ing to get off at a certain corner, rang the bell. The conductor fin his drowsy condition was not aware of the fact. the green motorman was unable to stop the car at the desired place. and as a consequence the lady was carried a hum dred yards or more beyond the proper stopping place compelling her to alight without assistance from the. conductor at much more inconvenisnt point.
