Prof. Wood pl&nned a pleasant Christmas surprise for 625 pnblic school pupils, when he handed down yesterday his report of the jesult in the preliminary examination for admission to tbe High School. The examination took place last Monday and Tuesday, and was confined to reading, writing, geography and drawing. From sow nntil the end of the school year these branches will, as far as possible, be kept out of the way of the other studies. There were 634 pupils on examination. Of these the surprisingly large number of 613 passed. But nine failed entirely. Of the others three did not complete their pa pers, being excused for good reasons, and nine fell below thejnecessary 65 per cent in but one steady and are entitled to a re-ex-aniiuation. All of these latter will pass, so that out of the 631 candidates 625 can be counted as winners. The highest percentage made this year was 93.5 per cent, and this was made by two pupils Joseph Jackson, of the Grant School, and Katie Hays, of the Hancock School. The next on the list is Anna Samuels, of the Hancock, who made 91.7 j-er cent. Bertha Tiegel, of the Luckey school, made 90.7 per cent, and these were all who made over 90 per cent. The general average, however, is higher this year than Usual. The results are shown in the following table ot tbe sub-districts: ALI.EX SCB-DISTBICT.

SOME ARE SUSPICIOUS, BTJT MOST OF THE FBOLUCEBS ABE WITH THE HEW MOVEMENT. The Entire Machinery of the P. P. A. to bo Used The Expressions of an Old-Timer Latest Accurate Intelligence From the Various Fields. The independent producers' movement is movinc along smoothly, and all indications point to a successful termination of the same. It is true that some of tbe producers are a little suspicions and not in f nil accord with the leading spirits who are reputed to be the chosen leaders of the children of Israel. While this disaffection exists, there are no real grounds for their apprehensions of Arnolds in the camp. As preyiouslv stated in The Dispatch, the whole working machinery of the old P. P. A. is being put in motion, xiie secretaries oi me uiuer ent local assemblies are sending out notices to the members to meet on their regular nights as of yore. The plan as now adopted is that all former members, since their last meeting, who are now identified or affiliated With the Standard, -will be politely asked to step down and out. When the first step has been accomplished, new blood, of the simon pure order, will be induced to join there organization. Producers, machine men and drilling tool manufacturers, are all alike in terested in the snecess of the present under taking. One influential memberof a Pittsburg man ufacturing firm, who has long been identi fied with the oil industry, was emphatic in expressing his ideas to The Dispatch to day upon the subject. He said that if the producers did not make a success of their combination this time, their business was irrevocably lost and any attempt to resurrect it in the iuture would be vain. An old-time producer approached The Dispatch reporter in the Oil Exchange, and after a few preliminary remarks, relieved his pent up mind in the following manner: "There has never been a time in the history of the oil business, when the situation, from every standpoint, demanded a much Higher price. At no period has our export trade been so great, while at the same time the stocks are being reduced and the production is below the demand. I am heartily in ac cord with the independent movement, but we must be careful and move slowly. You know very well when the Standard get their hooks upon a' man be seems to be theirs the remainder of his natural life. If we hope to succeed, the producers must first be sure that they have the right caliher at the helm, and then go in to win. We must throw aside our personal prejudices and animosities. Now is not the time to falter, and we must realize in the beginning that we have a formidable adversary to com bat, but in the language of Patrick Henry, 'the battle is not to the strong alone, but to the vigilant, the active, the brave.' " The Situation in tlio Field. There is but little to report now in the field situation. The principal point of in terest is on the southwest line of the Wild wood field. In a few days one or two wells will come in here which are attracting con siderable attention. The gushers are grad ually declining and the field is not aggre gating as much oil by 1,000 barrels as it did a few days ago. Gibson & Gilds No. 2 is in the 30 foot and should get the oil bearing sand by the mid dle of next week. The Both Oil Company have concluded to drill theirNo. 4, Kretzer, to the lower sands. They are starting a well on the Hoffman farm which adjoins the Bryant & Vogle farms on the south and west. On the McCune farm Dickson has a rig about ready to start the drill. Forst and Greenleo will bring in No. 3 ice pond to-morrow while the ilcGeah wildcat well northwest of Jthe Bingheisen should get the sand in the course of a week. On the Alston farm they are down 250 leet in their No. 1. This party in the Wildwood field have com pleted 16 wells which have a production of 2,000 barrels per day. f9n Christmas morning No. 8 Whitcsell, owned by Griffith and Forest Oil Company, caught fire and the rig was burned to the ground. The tool dresser working on the well vas severely burned. The Guyton well is in the stray sand to-night. Not Enough Ei Idenco Yet. Cbafton The Forest Oil Company's No. 2, on the Portman, is in the sand to night, but not far'enough to give evidence of what the well will amount to. At Hsiys ville the same company are in the sand with No. 4 Hummel which is showing lor a well. Drilling a Wildcat. Westview Three and a half miles northeast from Westview on the McFarren farm, Miller & Griffith are drilling a wild cat well and are in the 100-foot with a big dose of salt water. A half mile northeast from the above well, the same parties are said to be the owners of another wildcat well which tapped an abundance ot brine on Saturday in the 100-foot. On Monday they found a good pressure of caloric fluid and as a resnlt the well is producing enough water to run a salt factory. An Old Holo Going Deeper. Baden At Badea Ed. Barton is clean ing out and drilling deeper an old hole near the town in hopes of finding oil below where the gas was struck. The result is being watched with some interest. Trying the Saino Place Again. Emswobtii Three miles northeast from Emsworth, ViIliainsoa'& Co. have located a wildcat well on the Taylor farm. They have a rig up and will start the drill at once. It is said that in 1883 a well was drilled on this same farm and had a showing of oil. A Favorable Prospect, Mabs Station At Mars station Bar ney Forst is jnst completing his No. 2 on the. Anderson farm, which lookftas cood as No. 1, eight months old, and novr doing 65 Barrels per day. Plenty of Excitement. Calxeby There is no abatement in the excitement' at Callery. New leases are daily being taken and the owners of town lots have reaped a harvest The B. Forst Oil Company completed a well on the George Marburger farm, which is now do ing 50 barrels a day. The same company have another well on top of the sand and are spudding for another on Staple's farm. They are building No. 2 rig on the Mar burger. Slight Showing of Gas. Glade Mills Near Glade Mills Wes ley Chambers & Co. have a wildcat well drilling at 200 feet. Griffith & Co. on the Parks larm, one mile west of Cooperstown, are through the 100-foot with a slight show ing of gas. H. McC.

Mr. Scbluuipf bad been afflicted with ca tarrhal, neuralgic and stomach trouble for a lone time, which always became Greatly ag gravated every sprlnjr. The shooting pain be tween tbo eyes and through temples to pack of head at times becamo unbearable, and crusts were constantly forming In nostrils, causing dryness in back part of nose, tbe throat, tongue and month. Larce, fissures formed in tongue, becoming so painful that chewing and swallow ing were performed with difficulty. Dyspeptic symptoms, such as bloating and rifting alter meals, bad taste in month, loss of appetite, etc.. etc., set in, making life miserable. Mr. W. B. Schlutnvf, Sewickley, Pa. After five months' continuous treatment by Dr. Byers all the unpleasant symptoms com plained of by Mr. Schlumpf were removed, and he sayS: "I am glad to state that Dr. Byers has cured me entirely of all my troubles and 1 never felt better in my life. Ontof gratitude to him and desire to be of service to others I make this statement freely and unreservedly. My advice to everyone similarly afflicted is by all means consult Dr. Byers before giving up all hope." , A patient's grateful appreciation of bis work is often as agreeable to a physician as the re ceipt of his fee. Mr. Schlumpf has sent me at least a half dozen patients who in their turn have sent others, so this is sufficient evidence of my honest and conscientions work, and as good work always pays, patients can expect to receive a continuation of my best endeavors in their behalf.
