Twenty wells have been drilled under the direction of Hall and Kaul, As fast as completed the holes were plugged and this naturally led the pub- lic to believe that they were dusters. A well located close to Bt. Marys has a flow of tWenty barrels of oil per day and the fact revealed that the town is " the centre of an entirely new oil field. In fo MS Lightning Kills Stock. One night last week lightning struck a tree on the farm of William H. Wea- ver, south of Murray's school house, in Gregg township, and killed five milch cows and two bulls that had taken shelter there. Six of the ani. mals belonged to Mr. Weaver, and one to Mr. Miller, a brother-in-law, who occupies the dwelling house on the farm. Mr. Weaver had insurance to the amount of fifty dollars, but that sum covers but a small fraction of the loss, Atl is Armed Negro Frightens Girls, Mary Cisney and Minnie Crownover twelve and fourteen years old, were at- tacked by a negro one mile west of Huntingdon, Thursday of last week, as they were gathering flowers, The negro made improper proposals, which caused the girls to seream and run.

Instead of using scaffolding, Mr, Eckenroth resorted to the use of rope and tackle, and after working for a half day suspended three hundred feet in the air, he attempted to lower him self, when he discovered that the rope had become ‘choked’ in the pulley, At great risk of life the young man hung for an hour until a second rope wan hoisted to him in response to a _ note which reached its destination by ~, being fastened between the blades of a * knife and dropped to the walk. THE WEATHER, Oomparison of Raln Fall the Present, from April to Fhe present dry condition of the soil is the subject of considerable discus- sion by the farming class and the ob- server of weather conditions, The average person considers the past sea- son an unusually wet one, but when comparison is made with the same period during 1908, it will be found that during that season the rain fall fas only thirty-eight hundredths of an inch short of the precipitation during the correspording period in 1904. The comparison, in detail, is noted below ; 1904 5.08 1903 fall in Inches 3.85 ‘ 1.10 7.50 April, rain May, June, HR 1.14 17.00 Aug. todate Total A comparison of rainy days in the months.of June and July in 1903 and 1904 may also be of interest, and will demonstrate that both seasons had about the same number of ““wet'’ days, 1003 1904 | ¢, tainy days our 14 July, “ 9 At this writing streams are the tilled soil is dry. plowing is greatly hindered on low and | In some sections | account of lack of moisture.
