THE JUG SOLD TO THE
NEW ELECTRIC RAILROAD

the inexhaustible power there
provided, the road could be opera
ted very cheaply after the proper
equipment was once installed And
this same Jug" for this reason has
always been an object Of interest to
the promoters OF new railroads
through the couoty.
The Review Is reliably informed
that at last something tangible In
this direction and something that
talks business In regard to the
building of our new line has been
coDsummated. An option on fifteen
acres surrounding the Jug and In
Guiding the water power has been
taken by the railroad people from
o. W. o Hardman, commissioner
of the c. I. Powell estate. One
hundred dollars was paid for the
option. This option will be closed
tomorrow. A message received this
afternoon states that the full
amount, $4,000, Is already sent,aud
the deal will be fuallV closed to
morrow. This Is good news 1t is
another evidence of the fact that
the Martiusville. Sistersville and
Middlebourne road Is a sure thing.
It twill soon be time to celebrate,

SHAY HELD
With OUT BAIL

v ctim OF the unfortunate shooting.
At the termination of the testt-
mony, Mr.. Shay was remarded to
the county jail without bail to
await and answer the action of the
Grand Jury. In his statement, Mr..
Reed said that he was absolutely
innocent of the charges tuat had
been made against him, and which
evidently led to the crime. He
stated that there was no proVoca-
tion for the shooung except the
calling of the vile name. The ex-
element Is still high over the affair I,
although 1t Is more that of curIos
ity than otherwise.

BUSINESS BOOMING

The OH Well Supply Stores and
machine shops In this city report
business In their respective lines
this spring as being better than 1t
has been for a year or two. The
new developments at Friendly, on
the Ohio side across the river from
Bens Run and still south of that on
the Ohio side where FIVE we'll are
being drilled In one bunch, to-
gether with the operations In the
old fields near the city are making
business decidedly better and the
oil we'll supply business Is eujoylng g
quite a boom. In fact, business of
all kinds Is decidedly better In this
city this spring than 1t has been
for many day.
One otthe best evidences of pros
perlty Is the advertising columns OF
newspaper. When business Is
fourishiug, business men will ad-
vertise; when It's dull and slow
they stop their advertisements.
This Is very poor economy, but It's
the way business goes. The Re.
view this past winter and soring
has had more advertising than 1t mas
had since 1t was first started over
eighteen years ago. Usually. dur
ing December, the holiday adver-
tisements crowd the columns OF our
paper, but by the middle Of Janu- :
Sistersville daily oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1902-1905, 1903-03-17

ary or February we have but few
advertisements. This year the paper
has been tull.up right along through
the dull months, and now that
spring Is here we see no reason why
we will not have the best year In
the history of the paper. The fact
is, the prospects are so hattering
that we are seriously contem-
plating e larging our paper, and
| will do so If the advertising pat
ronage continues. This Is no
boast on our part. The paper
shows for itself and any one can be
convinced by simply referring to
the columns of the Review. Be-
sides this we never had so many
readers as we have today. We
could easily tell our readers the
Review publishes so many thous'
and papers day but that IS gen
orally marked down as lie. So
we say to any one interested, that
our press room Is open to any who
careEo visit 1t aud see the pile of
papers we send out every evening.
Our subscription books are open to
all. But what Is better than all Of
this is the testimony of our adver
tisers who frankly tell US when
they advertise in the Review their
business Is excellent bat when
they don't trade Is slow. For these
and many other reasons We say
business Is better In Sistersv!lle
It5day than 1t has bsen for many
months.

Death Of Earl =. Harris.

1 This sad event took place at
ss2::45 this morning, after a long
sillness of more than ten weeks.
earl was a Missouri Valley boy.
sHe was born here October 5,
s1878, and here he lived all of
shis twenty-five years, except
swhat time was spent in visits
Ito friends and relatives outside
.of the city and excursions to
sother states for health and
Ipleasure.
He served on "The Times
from his boyhood up, first as
Sscarrier and then as city editor.
GAS he went his daily rounds of
duty his quiet, genial, some
.times mirthful way of putting
sthe OLD question, "Well, what
Edo you know today" was a
familiar incident in our city
fife. But we shall see him nc
more on our streets.
! He had a large circle of
sfriends in and out of town. He
twas much beloved and Will be
pgreatly missed, in the office, at
sthe depot, among the railroad
smen, in society, and wherever
Ianything was going on. A
] kinder and more considerate
fsoul it would be hard to find.

listed his sympathy. He had
IAN encouraging word for all.
He bore his last illness un-

sscomplainingly. Loving friends
.sand physicians surrounded him.
EHe followed their counsel and
sseconded their efforts cour-
sageously to the last. He had
splanned and dreamed of Mex
sico's as the winter climate
swhere he might build up again!
2and be restored to health. But,
athat was not to be. When the|
slast day came he calmly sc-|
,cepted the inevitable and de-!
sclared he was satisfied trust-|
ling in the Saviour's love.

AT the home of his parents, in

4 at 2::45 a. M, after ten weeks
/ suffering, EARL r. Harris,
d age Is years, 2 months, and
& I! 16 days.
{ After a hard fought battle of
|. many days, the dread monster
death claimed the victory and
I dear Earl was lead captive over
Nthe dark river. His passing
away was calm and without a
struggle, like a little babe on the
gmothers breast, gently he closed
his eyes on earth to reopen them
Gin the great eternity. He died
surrounded by parents and rela-
stives, who with sorrowing hearts
watched the closing scene.
! Yes, dear Earl is dead. How
we will miss him. Associated
with him from his birth, in his
childhood, through his boyhood,
and then in his manhood, we
<~watched him with pride as he
developed into a high and noble
character. We knew him even
as a father would know his sen,
and knew him only to love him.
AS local editor of THE DAILY
TINES, we la been with him,
and learned his nobleness of
heart. His life isl stan ling and
lasting monument, worthy to be
INFLATED by every young man
of the country. Intellectual,
honorable, generous, and social
sthe friend of all. None so poor
THAT he did notrespcct them, the
s'old and young alike shared his
Friendship. In his work as To-
deal editor, but few were more
successful in gathering news,

;speak of events personal he new

sbeing. In all the walks of life!
Che was a man, and never sur
Irendered to bad influences but
skept his name and character
ssclean and above reproach.
I The news of his death, thought
mot unexpected, brought sorrow
ito every home in Missouri VAIL
..ley, and to many hearts in the|
State where he was known.
I Yes, dear Earl, we will miss:
you, oh, SO much. Your place
Twill ever be vacant-none to fill.
Fit. but we rejoice to know when
sthe supreme moment came to-
-our dear boy, his mind wasclear'
and when he entered the dark:
.valley and shadow of death he
felt no fear, and We in our sor !,
row will say, though with bleed
