From One Well Salt Water Per-
colates Through Entire District.

Batson, Tex, March 2S.-Salt
water has unexpectedly made its
appearance in this oil field, and Is
wells which were each producing
from 5000 to $4,000 barrels of
oil yesterday, are today flowing
pure salt water, with hardly a
drop of oil.
The water flow was struck two
days ago in a well which was
sunk 200 feet below the oil strata.
1t is rapidly percolating through
the whole field, and it is the opin-
ion of experts that all the wells
will cease flowing oil in a short
time.
This means a loss of several mil
lions of dollars to the oil produc-
ers and investors. Batson has
grown from nothing to a popula-
tion of nearly 5000 people in less
than FIVE months. The Santa Fe
railroad recently placed an order
for 10000 barrels of oil here.
Only part of this order can now
be filed.

WILLIAM B. KERN
Taking School Enumeration Finds
Large Increase in Numbers.

Under the State law, annually
an enumeration of the children
over 6 years Of age and under Il
years of age has to be made. w.
B. Kern has been engaged in max
ing this enumeration this spring
for the Sistersville and Gerry
Owen schools and while he has not
completed his work; in fact, he
knows there will be. He esti-
mates we will have from ], 1,150 to
1,175 children of school age, an
increase of about $50 children
over last year and families are
moving to our city daily. We
think it is high time the Board
Of Education was beginning to
make arrangements to build an
additional school house and also
to vote on making Sistersville an
independent school district. Our
school was crowded to the suffo-
cation point last year but if we
have to put 200 more pupils in
the school house next year, as we
will have to do, there is going
to be trouble and dissatisfaction
ton. Now is the time to COM
mence to build, and it should not
be delayed a moment.

The grand opening Saturday OF
E. Stewart & company was tie
r.ost ausplcious event in the his,
tory of Sistersville merchandise
ing. 1t was an occasion long to
be remembered not only in mer-
camille circles, but by the peo?:e
generally of the city. The COM
modious e estab l. S h IN en- was
thronged with customers and Wis
itors from 7:30 a. m, until 10
o'clock at night. The number that
attended the opening during the
day was estimated at from 500 to
600, and the dozen skilled attend
ants, with Miss Hicks at the head
and who is the designer of every
one of the beautiful and stylish
hats displayed in the millinery
department were taxed to their
utmost in waiting on and enter
tanning the vast crowds of people.
The management was highly graf
flied with the attendance during
the day, but the immense throng
that attended the opening at night
was simply overwhelming. Fully
500 people visited the store dur
ing the evening and enjoyed an
occasion which proved both pleas
ant and profitable No such gath
ering in the city's history was
ever witnessed at any store or
business house. 1t was simply
amazing the way the people flock
ed to the place, and very natur-
ally, it was most encouraging and
gratifying to the genial manager
of the company, Mr.. George NJ.
Stewart, as well, also, as to the
other members of the popular
firm. Another very gratifying
feature to the management dur
ing the entire opening, was the
marked interest displayed by all
in attendance in each and all ar
ticles displayed.
The occasion had been prepared
for with much pains by the COM
pany and that royal reception
was extended to all expresses it
but feebly. There was warm well
come extended on every hand, and
all were made to feel that they
were a factor of the concern,
which by the way, is the largest
of the kind in the city. The most
pleasant greetings were INDUCED
in and the management received
the hearty congratulations of all.
An Oil Review representative
called at the establishment during
the progress of the opening, and
was shown through the building
by the courteous manager, Mr..
Stewart. In fact, one of the most
charming features of the grand
opening was the politeness and
attention shown to all by the
clerical force. We desire to make
special mention of the bevy of
handsome and accomplished
young lady clerks in the various
departments. They were each
attired in white and presented a

CO. Saturday

very attractive appearance. We
had brief but pleasant chat with
Mr.. Blair Anawalt, who has
charge of the dry goods depart
ment. He is a practical man in
his line and is obliging and pop
nlar. All were shown through the
various departments, and enjoyed
to the fullest degree the numer-
pus articles that met their gaze.
1T was like going through an ar
kade, and the many things seen
and the magnificent arrange
ments convinced the visitors of
what enterprise and skill could
do. On either side of the NAM
moth store room, artistically ar
ranged on the top shelving, were
an elegant variety of potted
plants in full bloom. The plants
had been tenderly nursed through
the long, severe winter by Mrs.
Stewart, wife Of the manager of
the firm and were both fragrant
and beautiful. Another noted
and very pleasing feature of this
grand opening was the excellent
music rendered throughout by the
full Auditorium orchestra, and
which elected many compliment
tary remarks from the immense
crowd of people who attended.
Throngs of people fingered for
hours admiring the grandeur of
this magnificent establishment.
Hundreds lined the streets during
; the day and evening in front of
the store and beheld with admira-
ton the beautiful and elaborate
display of goods in the large show
windows. The management ex-
press themselves as being highly
pleased with the spring opening
of 1904. The sales were much
larger than on any similar occas-
ion in the past, and the opening
was success in all that the word
implies. The stock Of goods car
ried by this reliable firm this
spring, is much more extensive
and carefully selected than ever
before. The commodious build
ing, which is over a hundred feet
deep and extends from the main
street to the alley, is packed from
the floor to the ceiling with dry
goods, notions, dress goods, silks,
suits, drapery, laces, portiereS,
millinery, etc.
In the rear of the store room
is located the millinery parlors.
They are handsomely and artist
cally fitted up. The surroundings
are delightful and the effects In
! spring. And all those desiring
to purchase an ingenious design,
stylish and artistically trimmed
hat cannot find a more suitable
or reasonable place to make a Sc
lection than at the establishment
of E. Stewart & company, on
Wells street. The best goods at
the lowest prices is the motto of
this firm.
