Every hole is start ed with *n bit and drilled to a depth of 140 feet when 13-iuch casing is used to shut off fresh water. A 13-inch hole is then drilled for 1300 or 1300 feet from the surface and 10-inch casing used to shut off a cave of "red rock ' or mud. A 10-inch hole is then drilled to the top of the salt sand. 1600 feet,where a string of s inch casing must be put in to shut off salt water which fills the hole. An 8 inch hole goes about 200 feet further to the bottom of the salt sand where a 6|-inch string of casing goes in to stop more salt water. A 6« -inch hole fol lows 800 feet to or through the Big In jun sand, of which there is sometimes 250 feet and oil is generally found in paying quantities. To go to the Gordon sand the Big Injun must be cased off and a 5-inch hole drilled 800 feet deeper. One hundred feet above the Gordon an other "cave" of mud is encountered which must be shut off with a "liner." which is a line of about 200 feet of 4 iuch pipe, lowered to the top of the Gordon where it rests on rock.

The only remarkable thing about it WHS that the case proceeded so far, or, indeed that it ever began. While tl.c Court took occasion in instructing the jury to say that the Chief of Police had done his duty the external view must be that few men have been accused of murder on such trivial grounds.

On account of these alleged discrepan cies, the most important of which were proved to be imaginary, he constructed a theory that the father and son had a violent quarrel and that the daughter was shot in the struggle. He had ab solutely no evidence to support his theory either of family enmity or of the supposed struggle. But because he chose to construct that theory the de fendant wiis charged with an awful crime held in prison and subjected to trial.

A Traveling: Pain. There is no disease quite so peculiar as rheumatism. The pain which is in the little finger to day may be in one of the toes to-morrow. Ana so it travels all over the system, seeking an outlet, and finding none it settles permanently in one place, and frum its home other pains start uut, and settle down and multiply. Dr. Drntninond's Lightning Remedies for rheumatism attack the disease from all points at once, and their work is always successful. If your druggist has not got these reme dies, write to the Drummond Medicine Co , New York, and describe your case. Agents Wanted. For Sale, General Store; small stock of goods.

DEALERS in ready made clothing represent their wares as "Tailor mode' "custom made" &c.. but they ask the regular prices of ready made and the boast is understood. But when they offer to take your measure, promise to have the clothes made for you and charge the tailors price, they impose upon your credulity Whether their misrepresentation is wilful or negligent the result to you is the same, Most men want what they pay for and are willing to pay for the superior quality of made to measure clothes.

BUTUtIi, PA Pretty is as Pretty Sees. So with many eyes, "My face Is my fortune" said the pretty maid in the old English Ballad. She had proper appre ciation of the value of a fair face in the matrimonial market. Eyes make or marr many a face. A pair of weak red, in flamed or twitching eyes will spoil all beauty. Properly adjusted glasses will cure most of the troubles by removing the caure, but don't get the idea that anybody and eyerybody can do the proper adjusting. I have made a study of the eye and know its needs. Graduate of Spencer Optical College, N. V. City, Phila. Optical College, Phila. CAKb H. beiGHNeR, JEWELEIt AND OPTICIAN, 209 S.
