Stirring Times Ahead.

The chances are that the legisla
ture will be called in special session
this fall. 1t will consider the tar
commission report at that time
The republican party is showing
signs of hopeless split and the
steering committee will have jot
on its hands to get the members into
any thing that will even look like
harmony.
There will be small but deter
mined minority on the Democratic
side of the legislature and if they
are wise they will make plenty Of
political capital as well as do last
ing service for the state by voting
right on all the phases of the CUES
ton which come up.
Gov. White and his party are
getting apart on some of the matters
involved. He is talking real sassy
about the subject and he will b,
resourceful enough to put his e.
mics in bad light if they are mo-
very alert.
On the whole the chances favol
the people who have been paying
more taxes than they should pay
1t looks black for the people ant
corporations who bav~ not paid
what they should psy They are
not feeling good over y, the res,
OF us are tickled.

STRONG GAS WE'LL
Came in at Davistown on Fri
day Evening.

Owned 4 K.ystone Industrial Com
Tany'fwe A,'re locations Made-
Insursy Glass Factory at Randall
and Ms-s Osner Industries.
News reached here this morning
of q gas well which came in with
strong pressure seven miles from
Randall Friday on the Billy Furman
farm. 1t was drilled by the Key
stone Industrial Company OF Ran
dali, West Va. Drilling had to be
stopped to move back the boilers,
showing that the well is much
stronger than those in the Cassville
field where the pressure is not strong
enough to make this necessity
Van A. Barrickman,- the attorney
for the Keystone Co. went out today
to see the well. He was accoinpa-
MED by others interested in the
enterprise. He states that this en-
sures the erection of glass factory
at Randall right away. 1t will be
built on the Boyers or Yeager farm
just south of the residence and near
to the railroad. The factory will
employ about $50 men, and will
manufacture bottles and pressed
ware. Some local capital is interest
ed il the glass factory, and great
deal of it come from out of the coun-
ty.
The Keystone Company was under
contract with the Glass Company tc
furnish gas sufficient for theiI
factory, and had to be prepared tt
do this before the factory would
come. Locations for two new welIt
were made yesterday, one on tn,
Burwell farm and another near BY
and wells will be put down here a
once.
| An eight inch pipe line will b,
laid firm the wells in Greene county
Pa, to Randall.
| The Company has 1900 acres
under lease in the neighborhood o
Davistown Pa, where this well il
located. The rock pressure of othel
wells in the vicinity is said to b,
about 600 pounds while that of tn.
wells drilled IN the Cassville fielt
was less than 300 bounds. Strong
gas pressure was struck in the Fur
man well yesterday at l405 feet in
the Gordon Sand.
The promoters of the keystone
Company predict roseate future
for the town of Randall and vicinity

The effort is now being made to
show that the feast at Parkersburg
in which the Governor and the
Bankers were participants was alto
gether lovely and that no body got
mad and nothing unusual happened.
But the first reports of the meeting
we're TO the effect that Governor
White had roasted the bankers for
tax lodging and that they had hiss
ed him. Both statements are easy
TO believe.
But no matter whether true or not
true it is fact that the banks do
not pay their proportion Of the
taxes. Nor are they alone in this
policy. A large number of corpora
tions do not pay that they should
pay. In consequence the smaller
tax payers of the state get it good
and hard.
1t is proposed to change some o.
the ways OF laying taxes and it will
be mighty sad lay for those wht
get in the way Of the changes whlcl
are in the proper direction.
The incident at Parkersburg hal
called attention anew to some of til,
abuses of the tax laws and will hell
along the day when these abuse
will be remedied.

WILL TREAT THEM RIGHT.
w. x j. Manager says that his team
VIII give the Varsity Courteous
Treatment on Saturday.

Manager Stevenson, of the Washing
ton and Jefferson team when seen by
an Observer representative last night
said. ':.The treatment accorded the
local players at Morgantown was the
worst lever saw. Our pitcher was
stoned and our players interfered with
ia every manner possible. One man
held a pennant in front OF Welty's
face as he was about TO catch thrown
ball white other players were treated
in an insulting manner. We played
against the worst possible odds and
| am surprised that we won although
we played great ball. West Virginia
will play here on June 10 and 10 spite
Of the treatment we received at Nor
gantown we will do everything possl-
bic to give them a good, square deal
and treat them as we have all other
teams that have played in Washing
ton this year. Washington Observ.

WHAT HE SAID
Governor White Gives the Bank
ers Some Hard Raps.

Speech Made at Parkersburg has
Caused GreaI Deal Of Comment
ne is Going 10 Settle, tax Matter
and Settle il Right no Natter What
Happens.
The other night Governor White
addressed a meeting Of bankers in
Parke-sbnrg. He was one of the
speakers at the banquet given by the
State Bakers Association. The
speech be made stirred up the animals
a great deal and some of the more
rude among them Kissed the Governor.
At least that is what some people
say. Others state that there was no
kissing. But several people got mad
and among them is the Governor.
When he talked to the bankers among
other things he spike The following:
"Tne bankers are the representa-
tiyes of the highest integrity and most
eminent respectahility and solid cit
izenship and should set high example
Of good citizenship 10 careful aud ex-
act compliance with existing laws. .
sit is 20 excuse for one cerpara-
tion to seek to eyade its full financial
liability for taxes under the law, be-
cause other corporations can do or do

"The best way 70 repeal bad law

laws are oppressive TO banks lei us CO.

them so that we can fully and justly
obey them to the letter.
ssThe issue Of tax reform can not be

ton OF just aud equitable taxation,

its merits. The issue of more Just
and fairer system OF taxation will be

The thing for US all TO do is 10 CO.
operate 10 doing right. The bankers
can not only afford TO obey the requir-
ments OF the laws but ought to do SO.
sTax-dodgiug in the individual or
the corporation is not the proper thing

Two black mares belonging to
DR.. st. Geo. L. Brooke either stray

rear of his residenceIof Wiley street
Friday morning. They have been
running loose in the lot. So far all
efforts to find the horses have been
without avail. There is no clue at
all by which to trace their return.
At present it is impossible to tell
whether they strayed away or were
stolen. The latter seeius highly
probable however since pothing has

not drink enough clear water. They
should drink a tumbler foil OF lear
water, slowly, at rising and another
at night. II this rule is persisted

likewise. Do not drink during
meals, and only a little after.
