Tho Matter of busting.

Soft cloths make the best busters.
In busting any piece of furniture
begin at the top and dust down,
wiping carefully with the cloth,
which can be frequently shaken.
Many people have no idea of what
busting is to accomplish, and in
stead of wiping off and removing
the dust it is simply fiirted off into
the air and soon settles back again
on the busted articles. If carefully
taken up on a cloth, it can be shaken
out of window into the open air.
it is much less work to cover up
furniture while sweeping than to be
obliged to clean the dust out after
ward.

The same company and men are
starting two more wells in the
vicinity of the Ankrom well on
the land of Homer Christian. The
locations are $50 and $50 feet
southwest of the new strike on
the Ankrom farm.
The McKelvy Oil company is
also starting a we'll in the vicin-
ity of the Ankrom. 1t is located
on the farm Of T. B. Watkins, and
will be the third well drilled on
the tract by this company.
Gushing & Cushing control 36
acres of the T. B. Watkins farm

tract. This territory has been a.
tracing unusual interest from
the local talent since the strike
on the Ankrom farm was made.

on Pt. Pleasant creek, about sew

The Southern Oil company, Nc

will drill a number of test wells
this winter. They feel greatly
encouraged by the nice well drill

arrives the great scope Of unde-
veloped territory situated in that

WHAT ELECTION COST.
The New York World, which

The New 1Ofk Woiiu'
recently printed an article that
the National Democratic cam
paign fund aggregated approx
mately $1,5OO,OoO, and indicated
the States where the Republican
National committee has closed its
campaign with 100000 on hand.
The Worlds figures tend to show
that in certain States the Repub-
Icans received from their Ma
tional committee hardly more
than their rivals. In West Vlr-
ginia the Democratic fund IS
said to have been $4,000, sup
plemented very late in the cam
paign by a further contribution
from ex-senator Davis. The orig
: inal sum pledged to West Vlr-
giaia by the Republican National
committee was $4,000, but this IS
said to have been increased ul-
timately to nearly 100000. The
West Virginia. Republicans got
together a considerable sum on
their own account.
The printing and circulation OF
campaign literature is described
as having cost the Republican Ma
tional committee more than $780,
600; telegraph messages and let
ter postage, less than $1,000;
rent of quarters in New York
and Chicago and the purchase of
flags. banners and Autographs,
$4,000. The National committee
was sparing of financial aid to
New York State, because the fight
was believed to be chiefly for
State offices. Shortly before cleo
ton there was a scare lest the Re-
publicans lose the State for
Roosevelt, as well as Higgins, and
the Republican State committee
was given over 100000. 1ndi-
ana, according to the same au-
thority, was much more literally
treated, having received during
the last three weeks of the cam
paign approximately 100000.
Maryland, Missouri, Colorado and
Utah were treated very econom-
ically, receiving each about $685.
900. Those amounts were chiefly
on account of Congressional con-
tests. New Jersey is said to have
been tabooed financially quite as
much as New York by the Repub-
lican National committee, bat
Wisconsin received 100000 and
Connecticut $4,000.
The alleged balance of 800, 900
will remain in the custody of Ma
tional Treasurer Bliss and the EX-
ecutive committee till there comes
a demand for it. Possibly Scme
of it may be available for the
Congressional campaign two
years from now. The rest will be
kept for the initial work Of the
1908 campaign.
