Rapidly.

In spite OF rain and threatenin,
skies, the Randall lot sale at one
O'Clock this afternoon bids. fair to be q
success beyond the dreams OF its en-.
thusiastic promoters. There is big
crowd present including many from
Morgantown, and points farther VI
the river, and many from Penusylya-
mia. They have reached the grounds
in crowds on every train, boat, and 10
carriages.
Up until noon, thirty lots had been
disposed Of. They ranged IN price
from $3.50 to $500, the greater part
going for over 200 dollars.
A telephone message at one O'Clock
states that the lots are selling for
prices like those mentioned above as
fast as they can be bid up and written
down. Bidders are numerous, and
the people seem anxious to get the
lots at any price.
The company had intended to offer
only $50 lots, but at the rate they are
going these will be disposed OF before
the middle of the afternoon.
The crowd present is one OF the lar
gest that ever gathered, and in spite
OF the rain, exceeds the expectations
OF the Randall promoters.

OIL ANDGAS
Subject of DR.. Whites Lectur
Saturday Morning.
OIL First Discovered in this Country in
West Virginia Iustead ofin Pennsyl-
Eania, as GENERALLY Supposed Anti
ciinal Theory Developed by DR..
White.

The last lecture in the series give
by Dr. /. c. White, state geologist o
West Virginia, was delivered at Com
mencement Hall this morning on OF
and gas.
\ history of the production OF oil
and gas in the world ana in this stat,
particularly was outlined The Chin
csc were familiar with the use of these
commodities thousands Of years ago
In Arabia and Persia and even il
Japan oil and natural gas were produc
ed in small quantities.
1t Is only since about the year 1880
that its commercial value has been
recognized and its great production
developed
Contrary to the general impression,
the first discovery OF oil in this coon-
try was in West Virginia instead of at
Oil City Pa. On Hughes river, where
there is great anticline in the oil
bearing rocks, the oil seeped to the
surface, was collected In blankets on
streams and pools of water. The oil
was transported to Marietta Ohio,
where it was sold at retail by the mer.
chants. Their books which are still
a matter of record show the invoices
of oil received from the Hughes River
District.
Much earlier than this the Ameri-
can Indians collected oil in this coun-
try and traded il fer other commodi-
ties. One brand was named Seneca
Oil from the Seneca Indians, and had
a wide reputation as a remedy for
rheumatism.
Formerly there were oil and gas
witches like the water witches we all
know of, who locate wells by a forked
peach limb. In more recent years
scientific method of locating oil and
gas wells has been discovered, and DR..
White was the first to introduce what
is known as the anticlinal theory OF
the occurrence of oil and gas in the
earth's strata. He has located so
many5 wells by this theory, that it is
now pretty well established as a fact
instead OF theory.
Dr,EWhite discovered that gas, oil
and salt water are arranged in Dthe
porous oil bearing rocks as they would
be if put into closed vessel and al
lowed to stand. The gas being light
est collects in the arches of the rock,
oil is found next ia the sides of the
arches and salt water in the valleys
between. Nearly all prospectors for
oil and gas now follow this theory
discovered by our own state geologist.
DR.. Whites lecture was heard by
large audience, who would like to hear
a lecture on the geology OF West Vir-
GINA from him every day for month,
or through a whole school year. He
presents the subject in an intensely
interesting way.

TWO CENTS
GUARD is ROASTED,
Report OF Army officer not Very
Favorable.
Armories are too Small--No Attention
Paid to Target Practice Some of
of the Recommendation Made for
the Improvement of the tiuard.

The report of Captain Lewis has
been made TO the war department.
A special from Washington tells
what it contains. 1t is as follows:
The West Virginia militia is Sc
serely but kindly criticised in the
inspection report made By Captain
L. j. Lewis OF the regular army, who
inspected the guard in May. He
says that only SIX of the eleven com
panies of the First Regiment, located
in towns along the Baltimore & Ohio
are of fair military bearing and ap
pearance. Three of the companies,
one at Fairmont, have sbut recently
been organized, so that is sufficient
reason for their rawness. The regi
ment has SAG men.
The attendance at drill is poor
and throughout the State target
practice is absolutely ignored. The
men march with difficulty when they
are in battalion drill, and in other
ways show the effect oil having com
panies composed OF men who live SO
far apart that they cannot get to-
get her for training, The armories
are dingy rooms, poorly lighted, in
sanitary and unattractiye.
The Second Regiment located in
places along the Chesapeake IL Ohio
is in little better condition, al
though a number of new companies
have been organized in that regi
ment.
As corrective for the poor eondi
ton of the drill, the Captain recon-
mends that the post system be in
augurated and the senior officer in
any given locality be held responsi
BILE for the discipline. He wants
the men in any given neighborhood
drilled by senior officer at stated
periods, as they will have benefit Of
drills whether they can or cannot
attend company drills. lie thinks
such squad drills will result in
healthy rivalry.

CURE OF TETANUs CASE.
Successful Treatment of Eugene Kenny
Boy Who Contracted LockjaW from
TOY Pistol Wound.

Connellsville Pa, July IS. The
Cottage State Hospital has the honor
Of treating case OF tetanus, caused
by the wound of toy pistol. success
fully, Eugene Kenny, lad aged 0,
was wounded in the hand on the 4th
OF July, and in short time tetanus
developed Now he has almost recoy-
cred from the disease, and his condi-
tion is improving every day,
The physicians started the treat
ment with 10-grain doses Of cbloral,
an amount that few years ago would
have been thought surely fatal. Al
ter controlling the spasms with this
drug, anti-tetanic serum was used per-
sistently. Chloroform was used dur
ing the action Of the spasms.

A DESERVING WORK.
ColOred Orphan Home and Industrial
School Needs Help-Good Progress
Being Made.

G. e. McGhee of Huntington, who
represents the Colored Orphan Home
and Industrial School at that place is
in town, He has been visitor here
before in the interests of this institu-
ton which is deing fine work for the
colored people down the state.
He is stopping with Rev. Mr.. Norris
while here and will probably remain
several days.
The object of this visit is to secure
funds for the erection of school
building in connection with the insti-
tuition. When last here money was
being raised for dormitory and $50, 900
was raised for the purpose over the
state. The dofmitory is now being
occupied by the school.
People who cannot contribute any
thing at this time should keep the
work in mind and remit whenever con-
venient to G. e. McGhee, Manager,
