You go from your father's houe and from all fam ily connections, to make vour own -nay in the world. It is a good time to make a new Mart, to cast out faults of Tihose evil you hae Lad an experience, and to tate on habits the ant of Inch j ou have found to be o damaging. First You must not go into debt. Avoid debt as -vou would tlie devil. Make it a fundamental rule: No debt! Cash or noth ing: Second Make few promise. ISellgiously ober e even tlic smallest promiM. A man who mean's to keep his promises cannot af ford to make mam. Third Be scrupulously careful in all j our statements Accuracy and perfect frank ness, no guess oik. Either nothing or ac curate truth Fourth When woiklnc for other sink yourself out of sight, seek their interest. Slake voursir necessary to those who em ploy vou. bvindnstrv, lideHtv and scrupu lous inteerity. Selflsbness is latil. Fifth Hold -ourself respon-iblo for a liigher standard than anybody ele expects of on. Demand more of yonrelf than anv bodvelse expects of vou. Keep your pei sonal standard high.

NO WELLS COMPLETED. TWO WHICH SHOULD BE IN THE FIFTH SAND THIS MOBNEXG. The Gordon Sand 'Was Not Conspicuous In Yesterday's Development! A Shot Stack In a Well on the J. B. Kelso Farm An Accurate Report From Sli tervllle. There were no really interesting devel opments in the McDonald field yesterday. In fact, the only feature was the lack of something beyond the ordinary. To sum it all tip would be to S3y, there were no new wells drilled into the fifth sand; the esti mated products fell from 52,000 to 51,000 barrels; the stocks in the field remained at a standstill, 135,500 barrels, and the runs were 52,700.29, or nearly 11,000 more than on the dij- before, and there wero two wells drilling ithin a dozen feet or the fltth sand last evening, and, -with ordinary luck, both of them should get tho pay to-dav. They nre the Forest Oil Companj's No. 5 on tho Herron farm, located about 2,300 feet onth west or tho Matthews No Land the Oakdulo OU Company's No. 2 on tho Morgan heiis laim. The Oakdale Oil Company's No. 2 on tho Baldwin farm, located about 800 feet souths est of its big No. L on this property, may reach the fifth this morning. Thoir No. 1 on the Hutchinson faim is drilling just below tho Gordon. The same com pany's No. 3, Morgan, should be in the firth early next week, and its No. 5, Wallace, will bo In the Gordon by Wednesday. No. 6, on the Wallace farm, is down COO: No. 9. 100. and Nos. 7, 8, 10 and 11 are diilllng at depths varying from 200 to 300 feet. Tho Oakdale's No. 1, on the Gormley faim, tapped the Goi don sand jesteida- morning, and made a number or strong flows riom that rock. It is showing for an exceptionally good well, the Ro al Gas Compan j 's No. 2, on the Mary Robb, has increased its pioduction fiomlO to 13 bancls an hour. No. 1, on this farm, was due to s.et tho Gordon sand lastevcn Ing. The same company's No. C Santers, in which a bit is stuck, is pioduclngSO ban els a day from the Goidon sand. Tho well is about two bits in tho sand. In tho south west McCurdy field the Mooro Farm Oil Company is on top of tho fifth sand on tho McKendry property, which as oncinally a pjitof tue Mooro fami. Tho Forest Oil Company shot its well on tho W. J. McGill pioperty, back of Oakdalo, yesterday, but it responded ith only a light flow. The same company's No. 2, on tho R. W. Glenn, is drilling "at 1,200 feet. Shot but Not Improved. The Venture Oil Company's well, on the Moorhcad, was shot in the Gordon sand yes terday, but did not impiove. The Woodland Oil Company's venture on the Robert Glad den is making L!5 barrels a day fiom the Gordon. Gallagher Bi others woll on tho Kenawlck lot, at Laurel Hill, was drill ing in the Goidon jesteiday with no showing of oil. A stromr vein of gas was struck in tho Gladden rnrin well or Greenlee & Forst yester day. Their well on the Miller property, be twecn Willow Grove and Lauiel Hill, is making 100 bands a day fiom tho Goidon sand. Davis & Biown's No. 1 brickyard is thiough the fifth and drj. Ciishings packer will bo used to day in an effort to pack off tho gas from the fouith. sand, which has dried up ne on in tnc Gordon, ineiiijou Oil Company's well on tho McFailand lot was shot in the Gordon, but failed to im prove. Hcr ey Bros 's well on the Catholic Church lot at Noblestown made several flows Irom the Gordon yesterday afternoon. Aiken & Co.'s well on the Patterson lot, at Willow Groie, is eight feet In tho Gordon and showing light, Gordnier, Snyder & Co.'s well, on the Malt House lot, at Oakdale, was spraying some oil fiom the fifth sand les toiday afternoon. Robison & Brown's well, on tho Dietnck lot, at McDonald, w as In the Gordon yester day and made a couple of light flows. In Greenlee & Forst'sNo. 8, on the Mevey larm, agas vein or several bundled pounds pres sure w as struck in tne 50 foot sand. The rig at their No. 10, Mevev farm, took flio from gas struck in the 50-foot sand yesterday morning, and was totallg destroyed before the flames were extinguished. llnrtmau & Co. are m a predicament at their well, on the J. It, Kelso farm, south or McDonald. They intended to shoot it yes terday, but the shell lodged at a depth or 300 feet and cannot be moved. To try to move it is perilous to the shooters, and if the gly cerine explodes tho well will piobably be ruined. The Sistorsvillo Wells. The Sistersville field is now attracting a great deal or attention, moic in fact, than the results of the researches made by the drill would seem to warrant. The following is an accurate and complete list of all the wells in the Held with the pioduction of each completed well, and the condition or those being drilled: Tennant & Co.'s No. 1 Russell, 15 barrels a da; No. 2 CO bairels a day; Miller's Run Oil Com pany's No. 1 W.

About 70 miles from Pittsburg, to the Northwest of the State, Is located tho town of Morcer, the county seat or Mercer county, Pa. It Is one or those old towns that has been laid out for nearly a century: but having few business interests outside of tho Court House and the farming community, its growth has been very slow. It cannot boast of more than 2,500 of a population, though its postal business Is equal to a town of 5,000 Inhabltunts, and in this smalltown Dameth has her share of devotees, equal to many towns or 100,000 population. The champion or this checker-playing commu nity is Mr. W. C. Cochran, attorney at law, and also Chairman of the Republican County Committee. And then comes Mr. Stranahan, Assistant Attorney General for the State; G. W. McBride, attorney at law, between these two legal lights, who are very evenly matched, and who are repre sentatives of the two great political parties. They often rlay many games at election times.and whoever is victorious takes it as an omen that their party will win. Mr. C. L. Law, the Recorder or the county, and Mr. McCormick, tho leading pension attorney, Jlr.Shlpler, Justice or the Feice: Dr. Yea gher, one of the old school.and Dr. W.Mason, dentist, follow in order. The gentlemen havo somo very interesting sittings together; w 1th Mr. Lindsay, the drnggist.and James W. Bell, making in all ten good players. Tho most exciting contests are those played be tween 'Squire Shipler and tho pension at torney, the latter having taken to stndy published play, so that in his encounters with tho 'Squire, he may get that worthy of the old school into what ho calls snaps, but the wily old veteran is not easily caueht and often comes off victorious, Dut Mr. Mc Cormick, nothing daunted, turns to Roboitson's as much as he does to Blackstone for more light, as he is confident that in the- end ho is sure to win. Wo are confident that no town in the Stato for its size has so many fine players as that of Mercer, Pa. Any checker player visiting the town will find the above gentle men always ready to entertain him.

One thing should be clearly and distinctly stated at this time. This is positively and unequivocally the last opportunity under $5 treatment. Patients who desire to take treatment under this offer must avail them selves of It at once. There will be no fnrther extension in time. Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byer3 have sought togive all an opportunity of availing themselves of thi merely nomi nal rate. They have extended the time three times, and this is the last period in which the offer holds good. All patients being under treatment, or placing themselves un der treatment before January L will be at the rate of $5 a month until cured. WITHOUT DOUBT. Mrs.W. If. Black Under Local and Con stitutional Treatment Combined, Is To Day a Perfectly Well Woman. "I used to think when I read so much of Drs. Copeland and Hall that the reports of their cures must be exaggerated, but after my own experience I know that every word spoken for thorn was true, and I can say with others who have preceded me that they are without doubt the best specialists in the city." The speaker was MrS. W. II. Black, wife of the well-known contractor, who resides at No. 1 Inwood avenuo. Ease End. "lanlith Mrs. W. II. 'Black, Inwood axenue, Hast End. Continuing, she said: "My catarrhal trouble began years ago, Dnt never became very serious until within the last year. Ever since my tiouble began I have been an noyed with headaches, stopped up nostrils, ringing in ears, bad taste in mouth, dark spots dancing before my eyes and dropping or mucus into my thioat. "Last winter, like many others, I had a bad spell or 'Li Grippe,' and since that timo my case took a more aggravated rorra. My throat was sore and swollen so much so that I could seldom speak above a whisper. Then there was a dry and tickhngsensation in my throat which caused me to cough a gre.at deal, especially at night. I had pains all through my chest, but more severe in tho region or my heart nnd under my shoulder blades. I hud shortness orbrcr.tii and pil pltation of the heart. I was convinced that my lungs were affected and I feared con sumption. "Along with my other troubles I exrie rienced a burning sensation in my stomach, and also a feeling of fullness and heaviness across it. My appetite was very poor, and what I ate did mo but little good. "I became discouraged. Life wa3 a burden tome. I did not think I could live a great whllo in tis condition. "I had lead of the cures performed by Drs. Copeland and Hall, and, knowing that they had an extensive practice and believing their methods of treatment to be the best, I concluded to try them. I am glad that I so decided, for under their treatment all symptoms have disappeared, and to-day I feel perfectly well. I know that I am cured." THE OmCIS Of'DRS. COPELAND ATD HALL ASD W. C. ETER3 CONSOLIDATED. A few days since occurred an event in our medical circles or greater and more far reaching importance thin any other that has ever taken place in this city. We refer to the consolidation of the well nnd widely known firms or Drs. Copeland & Hall, of 60 Sixth avenue, and the equally well known Dr. f. C. Bjers, of 121 Penn avenue. These three gentlemen have beyond ques tion or dispute ten times as many patients as any other three physicians in tho city, and an acquaintanceand reputation in Pitts burg nnd Allegheny, and throughout this and adjoining States, equaled by none.

"I was extremely sensitive to colds In all seasons of the year, keeping my head stopped up and my nostrils filled with the catarrhal accumulations soihatl was forced to breathe throngh my mouth. There was a constant dropping into my throat,and every morning it would take an hour's hawking and spitting to get my throat cleared. After a time my eyes and ears became affected. 3Iy eyesight became weak and blurred and I had a constant roaring In my ears. I would get spells of shortness or breath and a full, eavv feeling In my stomach. I lost flesh rapidly; had a miserable, weak, uncomfort able, nervous feeling, and my health was completely broken down. "You ask for the results of Dr. Byers' treatment: well, they have been greater than I ever hoped for. At the end of tho second month I had gained ten pounds in weight, and to-day, after four months' treat ment, can say that I consider myself a thor oughly cured man, and as well as I ever was in my life.
