JOHN W. LANGLEY IN DANGER.

Washington, April 10.-The confus-
ion among Republicans in their efforts
to choose a Presidential nominee Is
amusingly illustrated in the case OF
Representative John W. Langley, OF
Kentucky, a delegate at large to the
Republican National Convention. AS
delegates at large Mr.. Langley was in
structed for Charles w. Fairbanks. A
week ago he said he was working for
Justice Hughes, and now he is going to
visit Colonel Roosevelt at oyster Bay.
At least he has been invited to do SO.
and probably will accept.
Mr.. Langley's friends just now are
uncertain whom he will ultimately sup
port. His statement a week ago that in
spite of his instructions he was work
ing for Mr.. Hughes was made with
permission to publish it. Since then
the possibilities sof his trip to Oyster
Bay seem further to have unsettled
| him.

COUNTY
TEACHERS EXAMINATION.

In speaking of the recent teachers
examination held in Ft. Gay the Wayne

1t is unfortunate that some Of the APP
plicants sought to use unfair means to
obtain a Certificate. First the county
was flooded with questions which prov
ed to be bogus, and the purchasers wore
out in round numbers ffom the county.
so far as we have been able to run
down, more than $4,000. 1t is report
ed that the one that got up this set has
left the county and state. The real
questions were circulated and num-
ber We're caught with them and they
will be dealt with by the state authors

twenty five applicants grades will be
withheld. The real questions were
brought into this county from another

til Monday morning, allowing them to
deliberate meantime upon the case. In

court they responded that they had not
been able to agree and asked for FUR
ther time. At noon they reported that
they were still unable to agree and they
did not think they would ever come to-
gether in verdict. The rase was con-
tinhed until the August term OF the
court, the jury was discharged and the
j defendant released upon bail. The court
then called the case against Henry BUS
sey, who had been jointly indicted with
Holt. The commonwealth announced
ready, but the defense said they were not
lready and asked that the case be con-
tinued The motion was overruled and
the formation of the jury began. The
venire was speedily exhausted and the
court ordered the sheriff TO summons
sixty additional jurors. On Tuesday

nessee The revival of the industry,
beginning in the winter with the ad-
vent of the highest prices ever quoted,
has started search for new producing
territory, which now includes most of
the counties of the State, activity being
evidenced either by new drilling opera
tions or by extensive leasing in prepa-
ration for drilling. Drilling rigs in
commission this week numbered fifty
four, or three times the number in OPP
GRAFTON at this time last year. The av
erage new production being developed
each week Is more than three times the
average shown at, this season last year,
a daily yield of 700 barrels shown in
the first week this month being a rec
ord.
shallow and districts continue most
active. In new work, Estill and Allen
counties lead, as usual, with number
of good strikes reported from each
field. Estill county operations have
been retarded by the bad condition of
the roads, preventing the starting of
much proposed work, but with twenty
or more wells drilling, this field con-
tinues the center of activity in Ken
lucky. Five strikes are reported for the
week. with a smaller than average ca
pacity. The best of new strikes yield
ed forty barrels. Two hundred new
wells are now in prospect for Estill and
nelghboring fields. In the bordering
county of Powell some new strikes fur
ther define an extension in that direc-
ton. Work is getting under good head
way in the lower portion of Madison
county. while new work is proposed for
Clark county. into which operators hope
to prove an extension of the Estill

have figured lightly in late returns.
