ROCK PRESSURE HOLDS OUT
New Gas Well but Five Pounds Below
That of the First Big Wells
Big Boom is on.

The finding of the big gas well
northeast of Gas City yesterday as
told in the REGISTER, seems destined
to have an important bearing on the
continued growth and prosperity of
Allen county. SO pleased was MIR.
Noble with the strike that he invited II
few friends last night to drink long
life and success to the well in cham
pagne.
A standard gas testing machine was
applied to the we'll and it was found
that the rock pressure is 30 pounds.
The volume is all that il should be
and the pressure is significant when 1t
is remembered that the big wells first
opened here had pressure OF just
3l5. After the scores of wells have
been sunk in this field and many of
them used for more than five years, 1t
is pleasant to know that a new we'll
has been drilled in which has the
original high rock pressure.
Mr.. Noble has always held to the
theory that the limits of the Allen
county field had never been found and
that this was either fed by channel
from larger field or that there were
equally good pools" He believes

BOYCOTT ONOUI At GAS CITY
IwO Leading Stores Under the Ban
Since Last Thursday End Not
Visible

Two of the general merchandise
stores at Gas City arc uDdcr the ban
of the workmeu at the factories who
since last Thursday have not spcot u
penny with them and have seen to IL
that practically nobody else did. The
change from a credit to cash system.
just before last payday the two
stores scattered circulars stating that
credit business would be done up to
and including pay day and then all
business would be cash. The smelter-
men have negotiations on with the
factories in regard to several matters,
among them being the new rule of the
companies that men may no longer
draw part Of their pay before payday.
Under the old system man could
draw part of his money between pay
days at a discount. The stopping of
this system and the announcement OF
| the stores that no credit will hereafter
be given struck the workmen pretty
hard and they promptly announced a
boycott on the stores, believing that
the stores were in league with the fac
tories to force them to accept the
terms.
On the other hand the store-keepers
declare that they never had any talk
nor understanding with the smeters
about their change to a cash system
but did IL because their books showed
they were getting more money out on
accounts than they could afford 10
carry.
The boycott was declared and is
being enforced, the men refusing to
buy, compelling their boarding-house
keepers to quit buying and in every
way seeking to secure a return to the
credit system.

MANUSCRIPT OF BOOK
is STOLEN BY NEGROES

GAINESVILLE, Ca. oct. "A mystic
rious larceny by a party OF little negroes
occurred at the Southern depot when the
delivery wagon OF the Southern Express
company went down to meet the trains
yesterday afternoon.
The manuscript of a novel recently COM
pleted by Mr.. Guy Clopton was stolen
from the messenger. The manuscript was
to be expressed TO a New York publishing
house. and had been valued at the ex-
press office at $50.
The peculiar part OF the theft Is the fact
that the novel deals with the race dues-
ton. and one or possibly several members
OF the race secured the copy OF the book
in advance OF publication, presumably 10
review II and decide as to whether or not
Il should be made more public.
IL Is possible that the story may De IN
the hands OF advanced thought" negroes
at this time. being carefully culled ana
criticised.
Mr.. ClOpton has spent several months
I'm writing the book and preparing II for
the press, and has taken a great deal OF
pains in its composition and with the plot
which is woven into It, The novel is really
OF literary merit and the story is a beau
tiful one.
Mr.. Clopton has a full outline Of each
chapter and the express company Will
bear the expense Of having It retypewrit-
ten ready for the printer. The author does
not desire full recompense for lost time
on account Of the theft. He only desires
to be reinstated with the typewriter copy.

OCEAN LINERS DELAY
SPEED FOR COAL

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-While the fuel
shortage Is causing an uncomputed loss
to commerce and delay in ocean and
coastwise steaming, Atlantic seaboard
steamship companies are reducing their
speed and burning soft coal, says The
World. r
Captain Moore, who has the contract for
landing immigrants, has informed the
agent of the Fabre Line that he has only
enough coal to run his barges and steam
boats until next Monday, and after that
immigrants will have to stay on ship
board, for there will be no way to trans
fer them from the ships at their piers to
Ellis Island.
1t Will be necessary for incoming steam
ers TO give some of their coal to Captain
Moore and pay the duty on the coal to
Uncle Sam.
An odd announcement has been made by
a fashionable Brooklyn club. A pool
tournament is about to begin at the club
house and in it's search for a valuable
prize, the committee hit upon the idea of
presenting the winner with one ton of
anthracite. The prize is said to have
created lively interest in the play.

NEW YEAR IS
AGAIN BEING
OBSERVED
RATHER THAN MAKE A MISTAKE
IN CORRECT DAY OF THE RE-
LIGI0US ONE, ORTHODOX He
BREWS CELEBRATE TWO.

Rather than to celebrate Rosh Hasnonan
the Hebrew new year 1868 on the wrong
day. the orthodox Hebrews the world over
celebrated last Friday as Rosh Hashho-
nah, having also celebrated Thursday as
the new year.
There is some doubt in the minds OF the
orthodox Hebrews as to which is the right
day, some mistake having apparently
been made many years ago, and they cele-
brate both days IN order that no mistake
be made in the correct day.
Religious services were held in ortno-
dox Hebrew synagogues in every land
Thursday, In observance of the new year
of the Jews, and Friday the orthodox He
brews are also observing the day with re-
ligious services in their temples and syn
agogues all over the world.
The Hebrew New Year. as observed by
orthodox Hebrews, closed Friday night
at $50 o'clock, and will be followed in
ten days by the Day of Atonement. one
of the most important religious celebra-
lions among the Hebrews. Both Of these
religious days is celebrated by millions
of Hebrews the world over, and are re-
garded as the most important and sacred
of the Hebrew religious days.
