The vital Importance of zealously
guarding the water supply OF a

by the prevailing condition of at

be no question but that the source
of the fever SOURCE In t. at city was
infected water, which, upon being
analyzed, was found to be teeming
with the deadly germs Of typhoid
The calamity In Butler should
suggest to the residents Of Sisters

There are many who have no fear
about using water from the river,

prefer to boil 1t, as a precautionary

IMPORTANCE OF

the results will be swift and whole

Butler Is warranted In hoping
for a turn In the tide, and as the
type of the disease does not seem
to be very virulent there Is reason
to believe that the death roll may
rot be large. AS the precaution-
arv measures were commenced
some days ago 1t Is likely that few
persons have been subjected 10 the
contagious infection lately, and
that not large new crop of cases
Is to be anticipated.

are unfit In many instances,to work
at all. With shorter and more
reasonable hours the clerks can per
form their duties with greater dis

CRUDE OIL SUPPLY

1t Is small q1antity when 1t LACKS
several thousand barrels monthly of
being as much as consumed.
There are no oil fields like those
of the Allegheny and upper Ohio
valleys, and the persistent failures
to. find any others after years OF
prodigal search indicate that what
Is to be found OF high grade oil has
been found, or will be found, in this
restricted territory. For several
years pioneers In new fields have
uttered new promises, bot each
promise has been followed by dis
appointment Every new pool
opened has shown itself to have
very narrow limits. It Is evident to
the observer that the high grade
oil industry has passed Its climax
unless something of marked mag
nituie Is soon unearthed, and that
seems to be almost an impoSsibility
after all the drilling that has been
dcze in the last 10 years.

In Society

Last Nights Farewell Reception to Rev. and
Mrs. Hatch
The handsome home of George
". Hill, of Main, street was the
scene OF a most de ighttul social
gathering last evening. The affair
as formerly announced, was In the
nature of a farewell reception to
Rev. Hatch, former pastor OF the
Baptist church of this city, who re-
Gently resigned his pastorate here
to accept another at Edinboro, Pa.
The hours were from 8 to 10
O'Clock, but from shortly after dark
until late hour there was steady
stream Of guests who called for a
few words OF kindly greeting and
good bye to the worthy and hon
ored MINISTER of Christ's gospel,
who In the three and a half
years stay In the city, has
endeared himself to all who know
him and his excellent wife and
daughter and share In the univer-
sal love and respect of our people
bolh within and outside the church
The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Hill
was beautifully decorated for the
occasion and we regret that We have
not space to particularize. Eight
young ladies served a dainty and
elegant chocolate luncheon in the
dining room and were kept busy
for three hours. The various de-
nominations were well represented
and evinced the prevailing good
will and sincere regret of our
Christian people at the departure
of Rev. and Mrs. Hatch from Sis
tersville.

OH and Gas Well Workers Is still
In session. The meetings yester-
day were largely consumed In
getting acquainted and clearing
the desk for action" All prelimi-
naries were gotten out of the way
and the real work of the conven
tion began this morning. The
greatest harmony prevails In the
meeting and a COMMON desire
seems to be ever present and that
Is to do everything possible for the
Strengthening and advancement OF
the organic .tion.

Mr.. Herriott, a prominent oil
worker from Bowling Green, Ohio
Is In every respect emineutly quail

holds among his brethern. He

characterized last night as the "best
mayor they had ever met In any
city In the history of the orgauiza'
ton" 1t seems that his honor not
only gives them anything they want
but anticipates 1t, and has things
ready for them before they ask for
them.

made hosts of friends and for them
selves end their order. Their head
quarters at the Mercer Is always
crowded with oil men, and little
groups are constantly renewing old
acquaintance and making new ones.
The Workers seem perfectly salts
fed with their present location,

Tonight an open meeting will be
held In the city hall. 1t Is for the
purpose of presenting to the oil and

objects and purposes of the organ
ization. It will be free. 1t will be
addressed by Messrs. Herrlott,

crets of theonly organization among
the people who do the work that
produces so much liquid wealth
each year. This announcement, of
itself, should be sufficient to attract
an audience that will fill the audi

utmost capacity. The meeting
will opeu about eight O'Clock, and

TO THE PUBLIC:
Usually one opening each season is sufficient.
This season we propose to have two We are led to
this conclusion for several reasons Among these rea
sons maybe enumerated the following: the first open
ming wss the most successful In the history of store.
The immense floor space at command was scarce
ly sufficient to accommodate the friends who came to
examine the stock that had been prepared for their
inspectou-;h finest the largest the richest the best
stock that has ever been broug ght into Tyler county
On account OF the throng that crowded our isles
were scarcely enabled do justice to either the stock
the friends who accepted our invitation to call on us
during that opening. For this reason, going to
invite all who were here to back, and all who
were here take advantage of this opportunity
to become familiar with the present condition of the
one store that has made 1t unnecessary for any resi-
dent cf this city community 60 anywhere else
to buy anything In our lines from the substantial
and plain to the most rich a n elaborate.
Then, we did not have all of our new goods
in at the first opening. Bach day since has boxes
aud packages and parcels left both In front and back
OF building filed with the very latest In the east
ern markets. Our friends have not this supple
mentary stock and when tell them that 1t consti
tutes fitting climax to the most successful buying
have ever DONE we know that they will welcome this
second opening for an inspection of the completed
stock. When think of the stock with which even
this modern store started only few years ago. and
then look at the mammoth and magnificent array of
goods of all kinds shelves, amazed
at the progress and know that you will be as much
surprised when you all that has been provided for
the Sisersville trade arranged as 1t can be only In
modern store like Flsch rs
We have heretofore been complimented by the
experienced and capable representatives of the
best firms In the country upon our stock, but this
year they simply marvel at the of our orts
duplicate In Sstersvle the stores of New York and
Philadelphia and Cleveland. and received In those
great of trade. Broadway and Chestnut street
and Prospect street brought to your very doors,
aud the fashions of the metropolis have become the
fashions of Sistersville
This Is true In every line of dress goods, tailor
made sent millinery, coaks furs, blankets, under
and hosiery In each line OF which the stock has
been made more complete for this second opening.
The date is Monday and Tuesday, October IL tn
and 18th. On those days. there will be surprises for
each and every visitor. If you the first open
ing, come again. There is something new for you. If
you were not at the first opening do permit this
opportunity to 60 by without seeing the most magni-
6cen stock of goods In the largest store from Wheel
iug to Parke1sburg.
Come and see the perfect realization of Fischer's
motto. We do not sell cheap goods, but we do sell
good goods cheap.
Very truly,
EDWIN n FISCHER.
