Ogle-Loftus Nuptials.

The marriage of Miss Mary
Ogle to John Lotus, of Marietta,
occurred at the home Of the
brides parents in Marietta last
evening. Immediately after the
ceremony Mr.. and Mrs. LOTUS
came to this city, where a recep-
ton was rendered them at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. R. M. Glen
denning, on Avery street. Beau
tiful floral decorations and taste
fully arranged apartments COM
bined to make the scene OF the
reception one of great beauty. An
elaborate wedding supper was
served to Mr.. and Mrs. Clenden-
ning's guests, who were limited to
intimate friends. Mr.. and Mrs.
LOTUS left last night for st.
Louis, where they will spend sew
eral weeks visiting the exposition.
The Oil Review is specially re-
quested to publish this wedding
notice, which appeared in the
Parkersburg State Journal, and
give space to the following, which
was omitted:
Miss Ogle, the bride, is quite
well-known in this city, where
she made her home for several
years. Her parents reside in
Monroe county, Ohio, instead OF
at Marietta. Miss Emma Fox, of
this city, and Dan Cauley OF Park
ersburg, were the attendants.
The ceremony was performed by
Father Woesman at the Catholic
parsonage, Tuesday evening,

known resident of Marietta, where
he has furnished a handsome

Four years ago Ike paid Hans
ford 5000 for the support of the
Oil Review.-Tyler County Star.
We hardly care to deny such a
statement as this. Harry Smith,
if he wrote this item knows when
he penned it he was a liar; when
he set it up in type he knew he
was naliciously lying; when he
published it he knew he was
spreading broadcast the most con-
temptible lie that he could think
of, and we say now that this item
is an absolutely unfounded, dirty,
villainous lie, without a particle
of foundation whatever. Ike did
not pay us 5000 for our support,
and with all justice to him we
don't believe, as mean and con-
temptible as Ike is, he would
stoop so low as to utter such an
unfounded lie. We will give
Harry Smith or any of his follow
ers $500 in gold if he will produce
any evidence to substantiate such
a charge as this. We call upon
him to do this-publish our denial
or sustain his charges; if he don't
he can take the consequences.
We are perfectly willing to give
and take anything within reason,
but this is beyond all bounds. We
don't intend to let this matter go
by default. There is no use in sue
inc such an execution-prOOf,
worthless and lazy cur as Smith
is. but there is another way left
to make such pups do what IS
somewhere near right. We de-
mand now of Smith to either SUBJ
stantiate his charges or take the
consequences of his own mali
ciouSneSs.

PORT ARTHUR.

Those who have followed the
Russo-Japanese war closely are
perpleXed at the course of the
European power, in permitting
Port Arthur to be invested by the
enemy from the land as well as
the water without taking meas
ures to relieve the besieged.
The prestige of Russia has suf-
fered much since the war began.
The driving out of her entrenched
battalions at Nanshan Hill was
perhaps the most severe blow
dealt her pride. for here she had
the advantage of position, troops
equal numerically to the assault
ing columns and splendidly equip
ped for battle. Yet her army was
overborne. If fortified places are
wrested from her with odds so
much in her favor how can Russia
expect to win on ground where
the cOmbatants stand somewhere
on nearly equal terms?
The prospect now is that Russia
will not send an army to the be-
leaguered in Port Arthur, believ-
ing that it is impregnable to the
rain of fire by land and sea and
that there is food enough to pre-
vent the cooped-up soldiery from
being starved out. But it would
be much to her reputation if she
did attempt to rescue her impris-
oned fighters and not leave them
to face the encircling foe intent
upon their destruction.
Instead OF beng the aggreSSor,
as she promised, Russia has been
content to be the contrary. She
has displayed a woeful lack of en-
ergy in dealing with her willy an
tagonist and the latter has been
obliged to take the initiative from
the first. The provisioning of Port
Arthur is thought by some impair
tial observers to have been indif-
ferently done and that hunger
will conquer if fire fails to subdue
the stout-hearted defenders. At
any rate the do-nothing policy of
Russia in letting the garrison Of
Port Arthur fight it out alone is
one which brings out the incempe-
tence of the government OF the
Car in a more conspicuous way
than any of the series of plumbers
which Russia has committed since
she forced the ASiaties into fight
ing.

CHAPTER XVIII.
THE STORM.


Marshaling to the imperious orders
of the tempest, and crowding close
upon the flaming standards of the
lightning, the armies of the clouds
came on. The sea-wide surface of the
lake went dull, and above it bent a
sky appalling in its blackness. The
wind at first was light, then fltful and
eusty, like the rising choler Of a man
affronted and nursing his own anger.
1t gained in volume and swept on
across the tops of the forest trees, as
though with hand contemptuous in
it's strength, forbearing only by reason
of its own whimsy. Now and again
the cohorts of the clouds just limited
at parting, letting through pale radi-
ance from the western sky, where lin
gered the departing day. This light,
as did the Illuminating glare of the
forked flames above, disclosed the
white helmets of the trooping waters,
rushing on with thunderous unison of
tread; and the rafting thunder-shocks
intermittent, though coming steadily
nearer, served but to emphasize these
foot strokes of the waves. The heavens
above and the waters under the earth
these conspired, these marched to-

terly destroy.
To destroy what? Why this wild pro.

wide-blown, scattered fire, whose
sparks and ashes were sown broadcast
till but stubborn remnants chung un.
der the sheltering backlog of the
bivouac hearth? Was it this frai
lodge, built upon plant, yielding poles
covered cunningly with mats and bark
carpeted with robe Of elk and buffalo.
Yet why should the elements rage al
tiny fire, and why should they teal
at a little house of nomad man, since
these things were old upon the earth;
Was it somewhat else that melted this
elemental rage? This might have been;
for surely, builder of this hearth-fre
