OIL NOSES.
Production In Lower Southwest Shows
Big Slump.

Developments in the lower south
west fields are not such as % arouse
any interest In the trade or inspire a
desire to increase operation ia any
quarter Nothing better than small
wells. and very few Of that kind,
were reported yesterday. Unless
there is radical change the last half
Of this month, there will be a larger
falling off in new production ia the
lower southeast during January.
La the new Freeport development
in Greene county, Pa, the South Penn
Oil Company has completed It's No.
on the Sarah e. Martin farm, and has
a show for 25 or 30 barrel producer
On Campbell's run, Marion county,
w. Va, the South Peen Oil Company
has just completed two very deep
busters. One is this eompany's No.
4 on the Joseph Estel farm and the
other No. on the Louise Wear farm.
Both were drilled through all sands
10 d depth Of 3,400 feet and then
abandoned. The same company's
good producer on the Jacob Cunning
ham farm, near the Marion Wetzel
county line, west OF Warrington, has
quit flowing. The casing sprung a
leak and let the water in, erowding
back the OIL The defective casing
will be removed and then the we'll will
be put TO pumping II IL does not flow.

The M. E. Revival Service.

A very large congregation attend
ed the revival services last night.
The pastor preached from Christ
words Except your righteousness
shall exceed the righteousness of
the Scribes and Pharisees, We shall
in no case enter into the kingdom OF
heaven" He gave a history of these
cultured sects. He showed many
attractive things in their religion.
There was much self denial. Many
times each day they engaged in
prayer. They gave tenth of their
incomes to temple services and were
conspiciously liberal to the poor.
They were famous for their zeal ia
trying to convert men to their sect.
With them religious life was su-
preme thing. Christ frequently re-
preached them for the fact that their
religion was merely formal and hence
unacceptable to God. They were
destitute Of intense sincerity: Low
ing the praise of men their aim was
human applause instead of divine
approval. They were proud perse
cutors. While we should initiate
the scribes and Pharisees in devo,
ton to self denial, prayer, financial
generosity and earnestness in church
work. our piety must add four things
to theirs 1t must be internal for
Christ said the Kingdom of heaven
is written true Christian. 1t must
be divinely implanted in regenera-
ton by the Holy Ghost. Christ
must be its central power, so that
with Paul we may say Il live, yet
not | but Christ liveth in me- And
its constant fruitage must be mani
tested in supreme love to God and
charitable emotions towards all men.

FAST FOR SENATOR.
Former Incumbent OF THAI Position says
That he will Run again.

Col r, Il. Fast Is candidate for
nomination to the state Senate from
che district composed OF Taylor, Ma
rion and Monongalia. He said so
when asked about IL by this paper. A
rumor OF that kind had been in circu-
latiou and he was asked straight out
IL he were candidate. He said that
he was.
The nomination is due TO Monon-
gala this time aud the friends OF the
Colonel feel that he Is the most de-
serving OF the honor Of any one who
may be named. IL il understood that
there will be several other candidates
and the chances are that there will be

Pathetic Accident to Young Brakeman
Flagging Ills Sweetheart.

CoNNELI.svrLLE, Pa, Jan. To-
Charles ID. Boggs, brakeman on
the Connellsville division of the b.
4 O., had a sweetheart who lives
near the railroad in the vicinity OF
Meyersdale. Each time the young
trainman passed her home he was
wont to wave greeting from the
cahoose.
He leaned out too far to catch the
CLEAN of the tiny handkerchief that
huttered in the mountain breeze
and the lovers sign was fatal. A
box car was not very far in on a
passing siding, and it struck Bogg' s
head. He was thrown from the ca
boose and his skull fracture |. but
he still survives.
BY his side is his sweetheart, who

Big Crowd at Show.

On Wednesday night 800 people
pressed into the Opera House to see
Frank James in Across the Desert.
They had crossed for some time be
fore James was discovered. He said
very few words and was not on the
stage very long. The show aside
from the attraction afforded by his
connection would have been fair.
The array of comedians was larger
than usual and the men played their
parts well.

REAL ESTATE NOTES.
Wiley Sale was not Consum-
mated Wednesday.

Deal Fell Through en- account of I'm
expected Opposltion-High Price
Paid for Lot on Front Street-M, p.
Congregation Wanting to Buy a
Lot.
On Wednesday the option held by
Director James FL. Stewart on the
Wiley homestead ia South Morgan
town expired. The sale was not con-
summated. 1t was prevented from
being carried out by the attitude of
some of the land owners over there
who preferred to have the present
status OF affairs maintained.
The fact that the sale has failed
will prevent the development of that
section of the city for years to come.
1T is understood that the bridge over
to South Morgantown would have
been certainty had this sale been
made.
Il. Nj. Grant has bought of Prof. A.
r. WhItehill the lot On North Front
street between the Grant residence
and that occupied by J. A. Wood ward
for 81. 900. The lot faces fifty feet
on Front street. The price paid for
it is the highest that has been paid
for residence property in that section
of the town.
Mrs. r. E. Naret has bought the
house occupied by M. T. Sisl9r from
George G. Baker for $500 Mr.. Sis
Ter has it leased until April l, 1903.
The Nj. 2. congregation is talking
of buying another lot and building a
new church. They have their eye on
a very desirable piece of property on
Spruce street but it will take some
time to get the matter through all Of
the red tape made necessary on ac-
count of the fact that one of the par
ties to the deal is church.
Real estate agents have been noti-
fled by the owners of property in
their hands to raise rents in nearly
ever case by the first of April or when
the present leases are renewed There
is one good thing. 1t will probably be a
long time until rents go much higher
than they will be under the new
arrangement.
G. r. Hayes has recently sold lot
in Greenmont belonging to Andrew
Lee to George w. Blaney, one in Sen
eca belonging to Frank Ecker to Mr..
Dusenberry and one in South Morgaa-
town belonging to himself to Harry
Stansberry and Marsh Williams.

END OF DOODLE.
Greene County Office Seekers Agree to
Qnit Thawing During Campaigns.

A movement is on foot among
Greene county politicians which
will practically revolutionize politi-
cal campaigns in that county, and
which it is IS thought will greatly
purify politics. 1t has been receiv-
e9 with general favor among busl-
ness men. Recently a meeting of
politicians was held at Wayuesburg
and it was here decided that hereaf
ter in political campaigns no money
for political purposes would be used.
The politicians at the meeting were
nearly ali Democrats. 1t is claimed
that in recent years candidates for
public officers have spent large sums
of money. The plan is to be compel
all candidates for public offices TO
pledge themselves not TO use any
money in their campaigns.

Mill Men Pay that Sum for
River Pollution.

Cases against Local People Settled ont
of Court at Parkersburg Parties In.
terested Back Statements Made in
Reference to the Matter on Either
Side.
Messrs /. N. Lucas, j. M. Wood
A. G. Oliver who has been at Par
kersburg to attend the Federal
court have returned home. They
had gone there in reference to in.
dictments which had been found By
the Federal grand jury recently
against the last two named gentle
men. The cases did not come to
trial. They were settled in the of
flee of the district attorney. Messrs
Wood and Oliver each paid 800.
Several witnesses in the case who
had started to Parkersburg on We'd
nesdav did not reach there before
the matter was settled. They will
return home later.
The above statements are about
the only ones that are not in dis
pute as to what was done. Mr.. /.
N. Lucas was seen by this paper
and he stated that each of the de-
fendents had paid 800 and nolle
was entered. This was arranged
out of court They were given
warning not TO violate the law in re-
gard to throwing refuse IN the river
or tributaries any more.
He stated that he did not expect
them to offend any more in this par
ticular and that there was no DISPOSE
ton to push them in case they would
cease the practice about which they
had been repeatedly warned both in
person, by letter and through the
press of this city. The affair has
resulted in warning TO all offenders
that they will do well to heed. The
United States authorities desire to
keep the navigable streams free from
refuse with the least possible annoy
ance and distress to the people.
Mr.. Oliver was interviewed ia his
Office regarding the matter. He stat
ed that the record would show that
no fines would be imposed as the min
imum fine under the law is $500
However he stated that he and Mr.
Wood had paid 500 each to have the
cases dropped.
He claimed that no case could be
maintained against them and that the
LEGAL engineer had failed to sustain
his charges. Mr. Oliver said that as
soon as he had been notified of the
violation of the law although informed
by counsel that the law would not
hold yet he bad at great expense pro-
vided means for disposing of it as soon
as possible.
Both he and Mr. Wood had pre-
sented petitions to the court setting
forth the facts that they were prom
inent men, that they had been ignor-
ant Of the law and that they should
be dealt with leniently as possible.
"You may say that the records will
show that we have a clean bill of
health. The 800 paid over was not
a fine SO we are informed by Mr..
Baker who is our counsel The cases
have been dropped and there will be
more Of it,"

ercises, inspiring speeches were
made by Mrs. Leech, Miss Brock

ry of Women's Missionary Societies
in Morgantown, it was stated that
the organization of the work here,

gram, was the address by Miss Julia
Bonafield, of Tunnelton, w Va.
She has lately returned from China
for short rest from her labor as a

information in regard to The success
of the work in China, and her talk
aoonnded in interesting details OF
the domestic life OF the native wo
men.
Miss Bonafield is an earnest and
convincing speaker, and her an
bounded enthusiasm induced many
ladies present to join the society
here.

STRANGE ANNOUNCEMENT.
1t is Not Understood What
Caused it.

General Brooke said to Have Decided
upon Mount Gretna as Camp Site :
He has Determined to Visit Oakland
this Week to Inspect 1t.
The following special has been
received from Washington:
1t is a moral certainty that the
Mt. Gretna camping ground of the
Pennsylvania National Guard will
become one of the four great camps
of instruction where the regulars
and State troops of a prescribed dis
trict will go into camp for maneu-
vers every summer Major General
Brooke, commanding the Depart
ment of the East, who examined the
camp sites at Mount Gretna and at
Somerset, has determined that the
site near Harrisburg is the only one
that meets the requirements of TO-
600 acres to be owned by the Gov
eminent, and 10000 or 10000 acres
to be rented merely for the maneu-
yers
Mount Gretna is as near the cen
ter of the district as any that can be
found. Besides it is well watered,
and the diversities Of the grounds
will enable the soldiers to get prae
tice in every branch of soldering
Troops from all points in the terri
tory except possibly from the Upper
Peninsula of Michigan can reach
the camp inside of II to 1s hours.
Two weeks is the outside limit of
time the State troops can spend in
camp, and hence expedition receives
consideration
General Brooke has reported the
result of his visit to the camp sites
to the other officers of the commits
sion, but no formal action will be
taken until the board finishes its
hearings 1t is now in session at
New York. 1t viii probably be sew
eral weeks before it is ready to file
its report with Secretary Root, but
it is expected the report will be
made in time to enable Congress to
make the necessary appropriations
at this session.
1t is roughly estimated that so,
600 men will go into camp at Mount
GreUna from the six New England
States and New York, New Jersey,
Delaware, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania and Michigan. The German
plan Of paying for the damage done
to fences and crops will probably be
adopted. That plan provides for
the payment of all claims by the
Quarter master General before he
leaves the camp. In that way claims
against the Government will be
avoided
Major Burns of the University
who has been invited to visit Oak
land this week with General Brooke
to inspect the site which has been
offered there does not take the OPP
tomistic view of the man who sent
the above special. He thinks that
the matter is not yet settled else
the visit to Oakland would not be
made.
1t is very likely that the wish was
father to the thought in the special
which was sent from Washington to
Pittshurg paper. 1t is hardly prob
able that after decision had been
made that other sites would be in
spected. And 1T is further unlikely
that any decision could be reached
until all of the proposed sites which
seem valuable can be inspected at
least.
