was objected to —anil both sides rested.
Mr. MeQuistion argued the case for the
defense and Mr. Bowser for the pro sec u
tion, and both made strong arguments.
Judge Ilazen's charge was considered a
fair one by both sides, and the case went
to the jury, who were out for an hour or
two and then returned a verdict of not
guilty but the defendants to pay the
costs.
THK SEvfl'KL.
Immediately that the verdict was in Mr.
Fish instituted proceedings before Esq.
Keck to place the girl in the Keforrn
school at Morganza, anil the Sheriff took
charge of her. The hearing was set for
Tuesday morning, but at that time several
witnesses from a distance who were ex
pected to prove the girl's identity beyond
a doubt did not put in an appearance, and
the girl's story alone was heard as fol
lows:
Ada Seaton, sworn, I am not Annie
Fish, my father was George Seaton. I was
horn in Pittsburg, on the Ist of February
and am 10 years of age, my full name is
Ada l,cuora Seaton; my mother died and
was buried in Pittsburg, 1 moved to Cleve
land with my father and brother and we
lived on Buffalo street, my father died in
Cleveland of fever and I sick of fever at
the same time and was expected to die; I
went to Keyser's at Victory, near Clevc
land, Senaca P. 0.. to live and my brother
went west; my father was a tall heavy set
man with dark hair and eves, my mother
had light hair and blue eyes and was a lit
tle larger than me; 1 lived at Keyser's for
three years and until Dec. 1888, when I
went to Bradford with Mrs. Hughes, and
lived at McVeigh's, 1 think Mr. McVeigh
was a barber, though I was never in his
shop, ho had one child at home and two
at school, and lived in a frame house on
the hill painted dark, his near neighbor's
were Messrs John and Flcin Coast; lived
there six months and then went to Parker,
stopped over night with a lady friend in
Foxburg at a Mr. Elliott's, who was no re
lation to one of the defendants, at Parker
went to Mavis' and then to Cohen's; my
mother was born in Pittsburg and her
maiden name was Clara Bonner, my fath
er bail a groeery store there. I went to
school to a laily named Kinney; it was a
briek school house; I have no home. I first
saw Mr. Fish in court, he is not my father,
don't know Mrs. Ingram, never saw Mrs.
Thomas nor Mr. Dale before, don't know
anything of these people, heard them all
testify and they are all mistaken, and their
evidence is not true.
Miss Seaton told her story in a
calm, straightforward manner anil consid
ering her positive identification by the
Messrs Fish, Mrs. Ingram, Mrs. Thomas
and Mr. Dale, in court last week,it certain -
I}' is a puzzler.
She has no money and claims to have no
friends in this neighborhood.
The hearing was then adjourned till
these people from a distance arrive in
town, and the girl's photograph was taken,
and will In' sent to persons named in the
case for identification.
As tar as the case lias gone it has been
a very nnfortunate one for all concerned,
the costs, attorney's fee, board bill and loss
of time will aggregate «t least a thousand
dollars for the defendants to pay, and the
prosecutrix finds herself in jail.
Xothing was done in the case Wednes
day, as Es<[. Keck was out of town, and
whether or 110 anything will be done to
day (Thursday) remains to be seen.
An impression is gaining ground here
that the whole truth in this remarkable
case has not yet come to light and that
more time is needed—we might add also
that as the girl has 110 money to send for
persons to prove her story, that money is
needed, and that the persons who employ
ed Mr. ISowser to prosecute this ease,
should see that he is supplied with the
necessary funds.
If she is Annie Fish we cannot see why
her father did not bring this suit up in
Salina. where she is or should be known by
everybody, and if she is not Annie Fish,
and is Ada Seaton she should not be allow
ed to be sent to Morganza.

Butler Co. Oil Field.
On .Saturday last Mr. W. J. McKee, ,-ohl
to Messrs Work, Moore,Mitchell and Lang
worthy of Warren. Pa-. lease of sever
al hundred acres iu Parker aud Allegheny
townships, including quite a number of
small producers and some gas wells for the
s.uu offHO.GoO, :iml he retains 150 acres of
leases ou the Anehers. Young and other
farms near Bruin.
or Mr. McKee's career as an oil prodnc
er it correspondent says:
It is interesting to note that in ls7s
without a dollar ol money Mr. M. Kee pur
chased a well producing five barrels per
day agreeing to pay 1,800 barrels of nil to
the owner Though the well had been
producing several years. Mr. Mi Kee suc
ceeded in increasing the yield to twenty
barrels per day. From time to time he
purchased leases and drilled wells in such
a quiet way that oil producers are now
surprised to find such a valuable property
in this part of the field, where the excite
nient raged fiercely in the early days. Mr.
McKee's total profit on the property sold
is a full SIOO,OOO.
One remarkable fact iu connection with
this field is that Mr. McKee has alway s
strictly observed Sunday. On that day all
his drilling and pumping wells were shut
down, so that his men could attend church
if they desired. There is probably not
another producer in thi> entire oil region
who shnts down pumping wells over Sun
day.
THE HUNDRED-EOOT FIKLT).
About thirty rigs are up and wells drill
ing in the ••Hundred Foot" field west of
Petersville. On the Ambersou. Greenlee
d Forst have four producers; the Standard
Co., have five (nought from Keep d Chris
tie); Greenlee A Forst are drilling their
Nos. 5 and 6. and Her Christie is building
a rig.
N OTE —On Tuesday of this week, Green
lee d Forst sold their interest in their
lease of the Ambersou to the South Penn
I Oil Co., supposed to be a branch of the
Standard <'o.. and Greenlee d- Forst agreed
to complete their No. 5. The price paid is
private, but as Greenlee d Forst refused
$30,000 a few days before, it is supposed to
equal or exceed that sum.
On the Hazlett, Hazlett d- Co., have one
prodncer;on the Welsh, Huselton d Co. have
a good producer, four wells are drilling and
4 or 5 rigs are up; on the lioltou the Uar
mony Oil Co., have a well in that shows
for a 25 bbl producer and Heed A Co., arc
drilling; on the Jno. Miller, Greenlee d
Forst have a well down about 1000 j'eet,
and H. Christie is building a rig; ou the
Knauff, the Kanawha Oil Co., brought in a
well last week thai is doing forty bbls—it
adjoins Greeulee d Forst's lease of the
Ambersou to the South; on the Bishop,ad
joining the Knaulf to the South, Ed Brown
d Co., got a good well last week, doing 30
or 40 bbls. and the Kanawha Oil Co., start
ed one this week; on the Marshall heirs,
Sutton d Walker's No. 1 is doing 40 bbls
and their Xo. 2 is down about 1000 feet—this
farm adjoins the Ambersou to the North;
the b«lt seems to run nearly due North and
South.
AT TUE CENTRE.
McCalmont Oil Co's No. 2on the Mon
tag, reached the sand last Sunday evening
and began flowing at the rate of from 50 to
75 barrels per hour. The strike was unex
pected and for a few hours the oil ran to
waste.
On Tuesday this well was drilled for a
few minutes when she began flowing at the
rate of 125 per hour, and seemed to take
the oil from the Ycakle which decreased
to 10 bbls an hour.
The Klingensmith well, northeast of the
big wells will make a twenty to thirty a
day pumper.
A guage of the old wells showed Yeakel
to be doing 10 an hour, McCalmont 3, Fin

KUYPT: Those who were fortunate
enough to attend the theatre last evening
were no doubt surprised at the deep and
absorbing interest enteriug in Laura Don's
play as brought by Effie Ellsler an;l her
excellent company. Those who have ad
mired Elfie Ellsler in serious roles, should
bv all means sec her in ''Egypt." It is a
revelation, showing how broad and com
prehensive is her art. She makes of this
girlish part a delightful picture, full of the
charm of simplicity, a charm that has 110
equal by the way.
The play is a remarkable creation in a
way. It introduces a dream that is proba
bly more original, and affording a wider
scope to the actress than any known to the
stage. Its characters are drawn from life
and arc all good, and its direction is fre
quently superb. There is a wonderful
climax in the third act, where Egypt re
ceives the news of her father's death, but
to speak briefly it is a strong play, abound
ing in dramatic interest.—Omaha ttepnh

Explanation.
We have been telliug you all summer
how we began the buggy business nine
years ago, and now probably you would
like to know how we are succeeding. We
will tell yon. First we like to tell it be
cause it did so much for our fellow citi
zens, and second, because it has placed us
in the foremost rank among the large
dealers iu this great State of ours. We
believe we have the largest wholesale
trade, and are confident we have the lar
gest retail trade also. To give you an
idea, our Mr. Licghncr has just returned
from N. V. State, where lie contracted to
have twenty-five thousand dollars worth of
one kind of carts made; this we believe is
the largest deal ol'the kind ever made in
the State. Just think ot it, $25,000 worth
of one kind of road carts, and then think of
the many other kinds we are handling.
Yon would naturally ask. "Where do they
go?" We could not tell you here, the
freight agents at the different depots could
give you some idea, but they go. One
thing you may be certain 01, that it's not
buying dear and selling hii/li that makes
them go. Then think of the number of
Baggies, Wagons, Harness, «fcc., that we
sell; it would scare vou to tell you the
amount we have sold since last January.
Vou ask again, how does it. come. Can't
others buy for cash too and sell just as
cheap as you do? We answer: We use our
own capital; we pay no rent; we have not
bought a bill in 0 years, that we did dis
count. You see we make this a business
exclusively and are laige dealers, the ad
vantage you will understand in an instant
when we tell you. According to agree
ment among carriage manufacturers the
price is uniform on same grades of work,
but purchasers of 50 jobs or more get a dis
count of 3 per ceut; purchasers of 100 jobs
or more get a dis count ofs percent, and
purchasers of 300 jobs or more get a dis
count of 10 per cent, which is the largest
discount allowed any dealer, and as we
buy more than 300 you sec we can" sell you
work at the same price small dealers pay,
and still have a profit of 10 per cent. Now
fellow citizens we are perfectly willing to
give you the benefit of our advantage in
the market, for it is your patronage that
helps us, and it is only right that while you
stand with us we should not betray your
confidence, anil we won't. Remember we
are here all the time, our word is as good
as gold. Vou know what you are getting
every time, we tell you plainly. We have
all kinds, the cheapest and the very best,
so can just suit you; we don't try to get
rich off one customer. We never mis
represent. ("all and see us, whether you
want to buy or not.
