SHIPS Alloy.


This sparkling comic opera is the most
ambitious effort as yet attempted by local
talent and the first instance where Wich-
tia amateurs have paid a royalty in order
to give a fresh. unhackneyed production.
The plot covers the adventures of the
Oriole Operallo, shipwrecked on a remote
island; revolt of the chorus girls and a
formation of woman's republic; the res
cue by the L. S. S. Cockoo and the funny
adventures on the way home
The action is rapid and scintillating
with wit while the music is brilliant and
tuneful. The chorus work of High School
plays has always been above reproach.
but this year with more people and better
balance is finer than ever. Music hits will
be introduced from Babes in Toylsnd."
The Prince of Pilsen.' THE Tender
foot" and other successes never before
heard in Wichita.
The scenic and electrical effects viii
surpass anything before attempted here,
while the costuming from designs by the
class is very appropriate and effective.

GAS
PRESSURE
FOUND
In the Austin Pope Wen on Line Be.
tween Doddridge and Harrison
Counties.

Near the dividing line between Dodd.
ridge and Harrison counties, but in the
first named, the Eastern Oil company
drilled It's test well on the Austin Pope
farm through all sands and found moth
ing but a light gas pressure in the Cor
don sand.
West of Weston, Lewis county, the
Reserve Gas company's test. well on the
Snyder Brothers farm IS producing 25
barrels a day. The Eureka Pipe Line
company has completed line to the
well and made the first run of oil from
it today. The well has now been pump
ing for more than a week and the out
look is sufficiently promising to cause a
number of locations to be made in that
vicinity. The Reserve Gas company and
the Southern Oil company are the iarg-
est holders of territory in that section.
In bhe Folsom district the South Penn
has completed test well on the Jesse
Ashcraft farm and has a 5O-barrel pro-
dueer. The same company's No. on
the N. Mcintyre farm and No. on the
s. p. starkey farm have been completed.
The first is good for 100 barrels and the
last 10 barrels a day.

RUNAWAY TEAM DASHES
AGAINST STREET CAR
Tearing the Bed of the Buggy to Pieces
and Injuring the Car Slightly.
No One Hurt.

The street car people are being sued
occasionally for damages for colliding
with teams on the street. Now some
of thm think the tables are turned since
a runaway Wednesday evening in Point
Comfort, but Thy are not thinking about
bringing a damage suit. Oscar Null
heran was out driving a team belonging
to Walter Sedwick. He stopped at Jack
sons store on the alley in Point Com
fort and went inside to get a package.
When he came out the team was gone.
1t had run out of the alley and down
the main road in Point Comfort to the
street car line turnout, where car No. l2
had stopped to permit passengers to
alight. The team dashed wildly up
against the end of the car, one horse
going on one side of the car and the
other on the other side. The buggy was
upset and the bed badly broken. Con-
ductor Hartman and Nfotorman Clarence
Flowers stopped the horses and later
they were brought to the livery stable.
Fortunately. the passengers saw the
team in time to get out of the way and
no one was hurt. The horses also es-
capped injury. The paint on the side of
the ear was scratched off some.

ing the state encampment was Secretary
Of State w. NJ. o. Dawson, one of the
many Republicans mentioned in connec-
tion with the gubernatornl nomination
When seen today by newspaper rep
resentative, ne was asked if he had be-
gun his campaign for the nomination.
"Hardly that," said Mr.. Dawson, srnil-
ingly, 'fbut you may say without any
reservation, whatever, that ] am can
didate for governor. This, you must
know, is an informal announcement on
my part, but it is true that my candi-
dacy has passed the tentative stage. At
another time hope to address the Re
publicans in more formal manner when
|. shall outline those things l stand for"
In speaking of Secretary Dawson's cam
didacy, well known Republican remark
ed to the correspondent that he had
many elements of strength that would
commend to the favorable consideration
of the convention. so far as ability
and qualifications go" remarked the
gentleman, Il do not believe there is any
other Republican in The state who is bet
ter equipped for the office to which he
aspires."

their attention.
ssSIr. Scott is honorable IN all his deal
ings, both public and private. He has
worked himself up from the very bottom
and for this grelt deal of credit is due
him. Again, a man who has been 50
eminently successful as Mr.. Scott has
in private business must naturally pos
sess great ability to take care of public
business. His course in congress shows
this. / very much admire these qualities
of his. Then, again, Senator Scott is
man of experience now in Legislative
affairs and that appeals to the people for
his re-election.
4 believe the people of West Virginia
will show their deep appreciation of his
good work for them and their apProba-
tion of his course by re-electing him,
without opposition"
Col. Flanagan also predicts the re-elec.
tion of Congressman Dovener and Day
ton by increased majorities. He thinks
neither will have opposition for the nom
ination.

pectedIy Visited by Officer and
Inmates Arrested.

Deputy Sheriff Fred Fleming, all by
his lonesome, made two speakeasy raids
ut Salem at 5 O'Clock Wednesday alter
noon. The case with which he did II and
the lack of danger attendant as usual
thing to raids Of this sort in Salem are
evidences of the tameness of the liquor
business at present in that town and
show the great change that has come
over that noted town in the last twelve
months.
The officer stepped quietly into the
Ford building, where Thomas Gain con-
ducts an Illicit place, and took the oc-
cupants by surprise. He saw evidence a
plenty of the fact that the law was be-
ing violated, and he placed Thomas seese
under arrest. Next he went to Lloyd
Duf's place, but he found the dook Jock

SLAY DID NOT
SHOOT WOMAN
John Banaeh, Arrested and Jailed on
charge Of Shooting Woman at Rey-
noldsyiIe, Acquitted At Hearing.

John Banachs the slavish miner who
was arrested at the Reynoldsville mines
near Vilsonburg a few days ago, brought
TO tile county Jail and imprisoned to
await trial before Magistrate Flynn on
the charge OF shooting Mrs. John Kest,
wife Of another italian miner working
at the same place, was acquitted of the
charge at his hearing before the magis-
trate. It appears that the woman was
not injured at all. There was shooting
,scrape during drunken row at the Slav-
ish settlement, during which Banach fired
several shots. Some one told Kest that
his wife had been shot and he swore out
the warrant, it seems, before ascertain
ing the truth of the matter. Banach
was arrested and taken to jail imme-
diately afterwards.

on account OF the anxiety he felt over
the probability of its never being re-

no temptation to commit theft. Al
his love letters were to home, locked Sc

CAR SHORTAGE
is ANNOYING
Strenuous Efforts Being Put Forth by
Railroad companies.-The Builders
Are Working Big Forces and
Cars are Put in Service
When Made.

A situation that is great source of
annoyance to local railroad officials is the
present shortage of cars. This shortage
prevails throughout the. country, es-
pecialIy in the localities of large manu-
featuring plants. These plants, owing
to increased business, must necessarily
have more cars and in the effort 10 ac-
mmodate this increased business the
different roads have pressed every avail
able car into service and still the sup
ply is short. In order to treat all equally
and fairly the old rule of long and short
division has been uncovered and brought
into play, und the cars divided among
the different concerns pro rata. The car
builders are all busily engaged with largo
contracts. In this way the pressure is
being slowly relieved and the new cars
are being turned out Mt such rate THAT
it is Thought the condition win be much
improved.
