The OIL We'll.

Many OF our readers will be interested
in the good news from the Rocky Noun.

going to press yesterday that the bit had
been raised and that matters at the we'll
were once more in good condition for
progress aud so stated III II brief para.

Since then IL reporter has talked
with Mr.. Williams, the contractor, and
Mr.. Davis, the secretary and who is also
for the present acting manager for the
company. They both say that III their
opinion there will be no more accidents
or delays caused from the losing Of tools
i'll the well. Mr.. Williams has invented
and placed on his string Of tools n very
simple little attachment which it is
confidently believed will prevent any
further accidents OF the kind experience
Ell III the past. lie assures lis that every
possible ]precaution will be taken and
every safeguard employed to insure
progress with safety. 1t is the iDten-
ton to continue the present sized hole
down about twenty feet further and
then replace the eleven and five.eights
casing iii such mRnnc il possible. as to
shut oil the water; this, il successful,
will he quite m advantage to furture

One interesting incident when the bit
was raised was the fact that about thirty
feet Of the lower end Of the big cable
wasinky black and dripping with
water. MIR. Williams doesn't claim that
it il any indication Of oil. but says ne
does not understand 1t and cannot
account for il.

ties Interested to know that both Mr..
Williams and Mr.. Davis. in spite OF all
accidents and delays. still retain their
courage to the fullest extent aud have
every confidence in the final success Of

CALIFORNIA; NEW PRUNES.
Some of Their characteristics a. De-
Aeribed by the Late
McMIllnp.

The recent seismic disturbances in
California gave til. late Senator Nc
MILAN an opportunity To tell n story
about the boaSiing pruclivitics Of the
ir:p!r Of tina state when referring to
their fruit production. says u western
exchange. The senator was foud of Il
good story or joke and told one with u
great deal nf humor and skill. While
Il party of friends were discussing the
earthquake shocks in lIr golden gate
state, the senator said: They are
"a Cntcrprisiu" out there. I've not the
slightest doubt. for instance, but that
they'll take a very practical advantage
of these seismic disturbances.
They'll probably put an earthquake
pruuc on the market. as prunes are
what they happen To be looming just
now. II will appear. ! suppose. as soon
ns ever they can print the labels. They
viii describe it, at any rate you may
be sure. in the most mudcrn style
they'll LAY that the slin has been
maGc tvlG"r 10y :hC sudden jar. that
the juices have been wonderfully
bl"nGrd 10y the Vigorous shake and that
the StoncS have been lOoScucd by the
sudden shock. When those pruncs are
strwcd they ought to rumble like the
umin"us sound of AN approaching
earthquake. and when you put one
int" N"nr mouth you ought to expert
cncr - quick. little electric thrill. AS
for tErir effect upon the barometer.
If that IL brought near any of them.
II will certainly fal! Ia the notch op.

DOCTORS AND CHARITY.

Human want and misery is not to be
altogether attributed to ignorance in
I'll" ordinary educational SENSE. nor al

more largely To- the miiIgu effects Of

Medicine. al modern communities

i"s>i"m is chiefly Indebted for the

exercise their functions among the

enter into t!is work in u more syste-
