Hague q Collins will have good oil
well in their No. 2 on the Collins lands

gasser. The first we'll drilled by these
parties will also make producer, but
is not yet rigged for pumping.
Either run town with vim or just
sell out and loaf, says an exchange. One
thing must be done run the town for all
it's worth; get up steam and keep 1t up.
Do you want trade? Bid for it. Do you
want business to come to your town?
Encourage what you have. Do you want
a prosperous town? Then never permit
jealousy to rule your actions, but work
together for the common prosperity and
mutual benefit.
The revival at Nebraska, under the
ministration of Rev. W. o. Calhoun of
the M. e. church, is by far the most sue
cessful one ever held in that village. Up
ward of forty conversions are thus far re-
ported and the interest is increasing
nightly. The attendance, which is un-
usually large, taxing the capacity of the
church, is largely made up of men, which
the affable dominic looks upon as most
encouraging and hopeful sign.
DIR. Bovsrd reports the existence of
four cases of scarlet fever in the borough,
the victims being young son of Mrs.
Kirkwood, who came here from Pitts
burg short time ago to visit her mother,
Mrs. Want, and three of George Hem

The school rooms of the borough we're
thoroughly fumigsted Friday and Satur-

The House having taken a short re-
cess last week Representative Mechling
came home to spend Sunday, stopping
over Thursday night with Tionesla
friends on his way. Beginning Monday
o this week the legislature has gotten
down to business and hard work, which
will continue till adjournment day, A ril
10, and Mr.. M. thinks that all important
Legislation can be passed by that date, and
the unimportant or useless stuff can be
dumped into the rubbish pile.
The February number of The Ladies'
W"rld has ever by Charlotte Weber
Ditzler, which is one of the most attract
i've we have seen. There is a Lincoln
story, which is most interesting one,
telling of his early life and tax ing him up
only to the time of his marriage with
Mary Todd There is the usual collec
tion OF good fiction, and rhe departments
of fashions and dressmak ing, health, ar
tistic needlework, and society are full OF
seasonsble advice. New York; Fifty

Anyone who does not want to receive
publication will have no trouble dis
continuing it, if you notify the publisher
that you don't want the paper any longer
provided that you owe nothing. Don't
continue TO take the paper until pressed
for payment and hen ''swell up and
say that you never subscribed for it. No
publisher wants to force anyone to take
lis paper who doesn't want 1t, at the
same time hs expects those who take his
paper to pay for it just the same as they
pay any other debt.
To the man who remembers how he
used to bring in an arm ful of stove wood
which he had picked out of the sncw, and
how he procured water to wash his face
in the morning at the frozen pump, the
winters are milder now than when he was
boy. But the chan. o IS not so much in
the seasons as in ourselves. We have
only to turn on the gas now to have all
the ire we want, and we have the luxury
of hot water by simply turning the fau-
Get. The winters are about the same as
they have always been in this climate,
hut the discomforts are not so many, a
fact we are apt to forget in comparing re-
cent wintry seasons with those Of the
past, thinks the Oil City Blizzard. And
come to think it all over, we guess that's
about so.
