Citizens of E.k Lick tow i.hip have sunk a pretty suai of money in a fi aitles eflort to ascertain whether or not that section of the county is oil territory. Some time ago the drili that had penetrated about twenty sev en hundred feet was loat in the bjwels of the earth and all efforts to recover it proved futile. Since then all work on the well has been abandoned. Many persons still cling to the opinion thai oil in paying quantities can be found in the Elk Lick valley.

All the Qtiis are running full time and a great deal of lumber is being manufactured. The com pany is crowded with orders and the mill will be kept very busy.

The contested election case for the office of Justice of the Peace of this borough has taken a new phase, and Mr. Oliver Kuepper. who received a msjority of the votes at the recent election, has received bis commission fn.ni the office of the Secretary of the Com monwealth. Mr. Knepper and his counsel, F. J. Kooser, Es.j., visited Harrisburg, Mon day, and returned to Somerset Tues-lay morning with the commission in their pos session. As soon as it became known on the streets that Mr. Knepper had been legal ly admitted to his own he was. surrounded by friends who wished to extend their con gratulations. Mr. Kooser Lad no difficulty in explaining to the Attorney-General that be was in error in bis construction of the law governing the case, and it is reported that Attorney -General Henstl freely admitted that his attention had been railed to an act tf Assembly, which be read over hurriedly and gave an opinion without reflection, and Le cheerfully rectified the mistake. We trust that this action of the State De partment will put a quietus to Mr. I'hl's j-ersistent efforts to deprive Mr. Knepper of the o'hee to which he was elected. Peter Auman, a comrade of R. P. Cum mins' PostG. A. R., wboe critical sickness was referred to in the.-e columns last week, answered the final roil call at ten o'clock Sunday night at bis home just east of this Borough. Death resulted from lung trou ble, Tbe deceased was in his seventy-third year. His wife and oae daughter, the wife uf Rev. Silas Hoover, of the German Baptist Church, survive. Mr. Annuo was a con sistent member of tbe Disciples' church and was a highly respected citizen. Peter Auman was enrolled in the army of the Union as a membr of Co. II ., 211ih Reg. Pa. Vol , on the 1-Sth day of September, 1S6L At the battle of Petersburg, Ya., April 2, lvv, be was wounded in the left leg so se verely that tbe surg-Mas found it necesjisry to amputate that limb above the knee. Mr. Auman and Oliver Knepper, of this bor ough, stood side by side in the battle of Pe tersburg until the former fell to the ground wounded by a rebel bullet, when Mr. Knepper lifted him on his back and carried him to the rear. Upoa being released from the hospital Mr. Auman returned to Somer set and for many years served an toll-gate keeper at tbe gate in front of his borne on the Bedford pike. He was a skillful wagon maker and he also carried on tbe work of making and repairing wagons to the extent his crippled condition would permit. For a number cf years past he had been incapaci tated from labor of all kinds. The funeral occurred at 4 o'clock yester day afternoon and was conducted nnder tbe auspices of R P. Cummins' Post G. A.

The Meyersdale fight presents several queer Complications and it is bard to under stand bow G rover ia going to adhere to his announcement that tbe County Chairman is to distribute the spoils in counties where there is no Congressional representative. This rule will have to work both ways if Chairman Johns is to be turned down. But tbe President is not eminent for adhering to platforms and it is more than likely that the regular Democratic organization in this county will be dumped into the conaoma. Wanted. A good girl.

Berkey Elected County Super intendent for the Third Consecu tive Term. An Honor Not En Joyed by Any of His Prede cessor Since the War. SALARY REDUCED TO THE MINIMUM ALLOWED BY LAW. The wire between Somerset and Berlin bore a very cheerful xuesnage to the sick bed of County Superintendent Berkey late yes terday afternoon. It read as follows : ' Yon are re-elected by one majority, and with out an ert.wt i in your pairt. (siigneJ) Yoca Fminna." The streets of Somerset were crowded yes terday afternoon with acbool director and local politicians from ail sections of tbe county. Such buttonholing has seldom been seen in Somerset at an exciting politi cal election as there was among the school directors by the adherents of J. M. Berkey and E E. Prills. Mr. Berkey was deprived by sickness, from being present, iu fact his enure canvass was conducted ny ois inenoa without his advice or assistance, he being in such a feeble condition as to be unable to hear the reports of his supporters or to olfer any suggestions as to tae pian oi campaign being pursued in bis behalf. But Mr. Berkey 'i friends were numerous. They recognixed in him the most efficient County Superintendent this county has had since the days before the war ; they had care fully noted the progress the district and borough schools have made under his super Intendency, and they determined that he was the right man in the right place and that they would keep htm there far another three years' term. When the convention assembled, at half- past one o'clock, the court room was crowd ed to its full capacity. Jonas M. Cook, of Somerset borough, was elected president, and J. D. Livengood, of Salisbury, and lr. W. H. Gardner, of New Centreviile, Secretaries. After the roll of directors had been call ed, Mr. Hols ;pp!e, of Paint, arose and ask ed w bether the directors of the newly organ ized borough of Benson were entitled to a vote in the convention. Ia answer to Lis question a letter from the Deputy-State Su perintendent was produced, stating that the directors of Benson borough, if the board had been properly organixed, were enti tled to a vote in the convention. Joun F Scott, Eiq., of the Somerset board, read an extract from the Act of Assembly, enacted in lsthi, which is at direct variance with the opinion from the office of the Slate Superintendent. Chairman Cook, very prop erly, under the circumstances, decided that the directors" from Benson were entitled to a vote. But the correctness of the position taken by Mr. Scott is conceded by lawyers. The decision of the chair was receiv ed with applause by the adherents of Pritts. On motion of a director it was then decided to fix the salary of the Superintendent at the minimum sum allowed by law. After this nominations for Superintendent were declar ed to be in order. Fraak Collins, of the Ber lin board, placed th) name of J. M. Berkey in nomination, arising to his feel on'y long enough to say : " I nominate J. M. Berkey," and straightway resumed bis seat. John Darr. of Lincoln township, nominated E. E. Pritts ia a few well chosen remarks. He J was followed by Chas. J. Harrison, of Som erset borough, who read from manuscript a five minutes speech eulogistic of Pr.tts. Frank Johns, of Meyersdale, Chairman of the Democratic county com mittee, seconded the nomination of Pritts. Mr. Johns tried to create the impression that he represented the sentiment of Summit and Meyersdale, but the vote showed that those two precincts were about evenly divid ed. The roll d-il was then began and as it pro ceeded the dropping of a pin could have been heard in any part of the crowded room, so great was the interest. As the vote con tinued and the sandidates kept neck and neck the interest increased. The result was not certain until the roll of Wellers burg borough, the last district on the list, was called. The total vote cast as reported by the tellers, was Berkey, 'M ; PritU, 03. Tbe tal l.es kept by the clerks and a number of per sons in the room all showed the vote to stand Berkey, 'JC. Pritts, 'J3. The Chair ac cepted tbe tally of tne tellers and declared Mr. Bercey elected by majority of one vote. Just about the time the Chair was about to declare the vote an officious director from Somerset borough, who bad cast his vote r Pritts, rushed op to the Chairman and an nounced that the tally kept by him showed a tie vote. No attention was paid to bis idle claim, however, and the result was declared by the Chair as the tellers reported it. Mr. Pritts developed great strength in this his tint canvass for office, but the polit ical tactics of some of his avowed friends wiil cot redound to t is advantage.

"The Old Guard dies but never surrend ers, " tbe battle cry of the famous $, wbo went to defeat with .Grant at the Chicago convention at which Garfield was nominat ed for President, would be a good motto for our Prohibition friends to inscribe upon their banners.

ALL NATIONS WELCOMED. Cmcm.o. May I. In tbe presence of people fiora every country and clime, surrounded by his cabinet ministers, high officials of the great states, the diplomats and representa tive of foreign nations aud a vast cuocuiiw of American citizens, President C leveland to-day pressed the button which released the great mechanical forces of the Columbian exposition. Al once a heavy salute from the guns of the United Slates ship Andrew Jonsoo pealed forth the nation's greeting and 700 Hags were rele ied to the breeze. while a great wave cf niufic pealed forth. Thus was the great exposition formally thrown opes to the world. It was no ideal day which broke this morning's cloods and fog made the morning a dismal one, but the rain has ceased. Mud was everywhere, however. The rains of yesterday put the streets in very poor con dition. The fair officials were up at day light. They declared rain or shine the ex ercises would be carried out fully. All roads led to the fair grounds and railroads, street cars. elevated cars and steamboat lines were taxed to their utmost capacity. At 10 o'clock, the hour for tbe opening ceremonies, the rush reached its height. Tbe committee to call Lpan the president was at the Lexington hotel early. The president and his cabinet were ready, and the distin guished party was soon on its way to the grounds. The duke of Yeragua accompan ied the presidential party, as did also Vice President Stevenson, the members of the na tional commission and the fair directors. It was quiet procession mounted police and military leading. The party, after enttring the grounds, drove rapidly to the administration building where the exercises were held. Already thousands were in the grounds. In the center of the great platform erected for the occasion' there stood a special stand upon which President Cleveland Yice President Stevenson, the duke of Yeragua and officers of the fair took their places. Immediately ia the rear sat the diplomatic corps, and on their right were the governors of the states army officers and other officials. After the orchestra, composed of several hundred pieces, bad played a selection. Rev. Wilburn, the blind chaplain of the U.S. Sen ate, oll'sred prayer, after which an original poem was recited by Miss Jessie Cautberer, of Chicago. Director General Davis follow- ed in a lengthy address, which was to a great extent a history of tbe exposition. Presi- j dent Cleveland then brie.'ly and to the point j delivered the addres opening the fair, and ; extending America's welcome to the world who may visit it. He said ; "Ism here to join my fellow citizens in the congratulations which be tit this occa sion. Surrounded by the stupendous result of American enterprise and activity and in view of the magnificent evidence of Anier- j ican skill and intelligence, we need not fear i that these congratulations will be exaggerat- j ed. We stand to-day in the presence of the t oldest nations of the world, and point to the ! great achievements we here exhibit, asking I no allowance on the score of youth. The enthusiasm with which we contemplate our work intensities the warmth of greeting we extend to those who have come from foreign lands to illustrate with ns the growth and progress of human endeavor in the direc tion ofa higher civilization. We. who be lieve that popular education and the stimu lation of tbe best impulses of our citizens lead the way to a realizalion of the national destiny which our fair promises, gladly wel come the opportunity here atTorded us to see tbe results accomplished by etTorta which have been exerted longer than ours in the field of man's improvement, while in appre ciative return we exhibit the unparalleled advancement and wondrful accomplish ments of a young nation and present the tri umphs of a vigorous, self-reliant and inde pendent people. " We have built these splendid edifices, but we have also built tbe magnificent fabric of j a popular government, whose grand propor- j tions are seen throughout the world. We I have made and here gathered together ob- j jects of use and beauty, the product of Anieri- ! can sua and invention. Ve Lave also made men who rule themselves. It is an ex alted mission in which we and our guests from other lands are engaged as we co-operate in the inauguration of an enterprise de voted to human enlightenment, and in the understanding here entered upon we exem plify in a noble sense the brotherhood of ; nations. Let us hold fast to tbe meaning ; that underlies the ceremony, and let us not I lose tbe impressiveness of this moment. As i L... . .. .i. .1 t: . i i r . . I u uiutu iue luacunierj luai gives me to this vast exposition is now set in motion, so at the same instant let our hopes and aspi rations swaken forces which in ail time to come shall influence tbe welfare, the integ rity, tbe freedom of mankind." Estimates of tbe number of jeople who entered the gates to-day are roughly made at from 2o0.'XJ to ',. The Bis-Headed Child. Front the JohanoK n Herald. Word has been received that Mrs. Frank R, of iiorrellvllle, who left on Monday morning for Michigan to j ia her husband, wbo has been in business tbere fur some time, bad arrived safeiy. She was accom panied by her abtvr-tn-Iaw, Mrs. Ianiel Hess, who also went there to join her hus band, and by Mrs. lines' two daughters. Mrs. Koes is the mother of the big-headed child which is one of the great st natural curiosities ever seen here. The child is about four years of age and had a head more than twice at heavy ai all the reat of its body. Owing to a sensitive feeling on the pan of iu mother, but little has been said about it, as she shrauk from publicity. Tbe fact of .la being such a monstrosity was known, boaever, and la&l summer the parents had a Mattering offer from a museum to place the chiid on exhibition, but they would bear to nothing of the kind. Tbe child did not show any abnormal feat ores at its birth, but soon its bead began to grow out of ail proportion to its body. Th.u continued until iu Dead brciiue almost the size of a half busiet, or meaiuring J inches in circumference. lathe meantime iu body did not grow, the other part of the body at present weighin only abaut fiftetn pounds. It never developed strength and has been reared tenderly as a baby. Tbe mother became devotedly attached to it and kept it from the public gaze as much as possible, although the neighbors frequently called ia to see it. She took the early train on Monday when she left here in order to avoid the gaxe of the crowds that w. mid be at the station at other times. Tbe child was in its cradle, and, with the cradle, was taken into the car, where a seat was arranged so that it could be cared (or by the mother. Tbe lew people at tbe station when the train left were greatly surprised to notice the peculiar appearance of tbe child. The Blessed Baby can get an entire new outfit coexisting of long or short dresses. Cashmere Wraps and a Lawn, Nainsook, Mull or SUk Cap at Mrs. A. a Chli Power. Latest U. S.
