The Ladies Take an Interested.
The ladies of Parkersburg are
interesting themselves in a most
commendable undertaking and one
which the people of that city will
doubtless give all possible encour-
agement and lend substantial aid.
The ladies of the city will do what
they can to bring about greater
cleanliness of the streets and alleys
which will of course add to the
healthfulness and appearance of
the same. They will not ask
others to do more than themselves.
They will also insist upon the en-
forcement of the law regarding
this question of healthfulness and
cleanliness.
The above is not bad suggest
ton for Point Peasants ladies to
consider, and such an undertaking
would meet with encouragement

ABSOLUTE
Control of OH Production ofthe
United States.

Control of OH Production ofthe
United States.
After negotiations that have
been carried on for a period extend
ing through many years the Stand
ard Oil Company has finally OBJ
tanned absolute control of the pro-
duction of illuminating oil in the
United States.
Within the past few days that
corporation has obtained possess
sion of the production of its fore
most rival. Guffey & Galey, of
Pittsburg, and is now in undisput-
ed possessions of at least 80 per
cent of the producing wells of
West Virginia.
The recent deal which ended
with the requirement of the pro-
duction controlled by Guffey &
Galley began some months ago,
when the Standard purchased from
Theodore n. Barnsdall his West
Virginia holdings. Various figur-
es were given at the time the deal
was made. but in all probability
the sum paid to Mr.. Barnsdall,
based on that paid other producers
was more than 100000. Since
then the Standard has quietly been
buying out all of the smaller pro-
ducers in West Virginia and with
the exception of possibly a half
dozen of them, whose combined
production will not exceed 500
barrels day, the company has
succeeded in gaining possession of
practically the entire production of
the State, with the exception of
that owned by Guffey & Galley
and Jennings Bros, the latter also
of Pittsburg.

Better Than Pills.

better IMAM Fills.
The question has been asked sIn
what way are Chamberlain's Stomach

answer is: They are easier and more
pleasant to take, more mild and gentle
in effect and more reliable as they can
always be depended upon. Then thew
cleanse and invigorate the stomach and
leave the bowels in a natural condition.
while pills are more harsh in effect and

fraught with dangers and hardships.
and efcotuely cured his appetite for

Ia lsCe he went TO Coalvllle where
h. was made the captain Of company
Four m the Utah militia, but on ac-
ccun, of the action Of the acting gov

afterwards that II he had known that
the captain was alone he would have
turned trick for him, Both OF the
men were sent up for six years EACH
and had only been released q few daya
