j Charles Stewart and wife of Blacks
, ville. W Ya. are visiting -relatives in
| Bntler. Clay twp. and Grove City. Mr.
i Mr Stewart is engaged at drilling for
the West Penn Oil Co., and talkes inter
estinglv of work in the deep sand fields
of South Virginia. 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 to
tal depth of a well is about 3200 feet.
Except the liner, there is no casing be
tween the Big Injun and Gordon, but
in all there are six strings, aggregating
in length from 7000 to 7500 feet, whose
average coat is nearly $1 per foot. The
13, I<> and 8 inch strings are pulled when
the well is completed. The total cost of
a well is about SIO,OOO. The last well
Mr. Stewart worked on was located just
south of the Pennsylvania line in Mo
nongalia county and came irf a 450 bar
rel pr<>ducer from the Gordon. The
papers report it at only 200.

Saturday Justice Keck rendered judg

the case of J as. Wilson vs Jos. Brown.
The Fosburg trial at Pittsfield, Mass
was ended ast Friday by the Courts
instruction to the jnry to render a ver
dict of acqu .ttal. The result was not a
surprise. 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. A respectable and
eminent family stated that their house
had been entered by burglars, and
that in the melee the daughter had
been Bhot But the Chief of Police,
evidently fired with the ambition to
display extraordinary jierspicacity.
chose to believe that some of the minor
circumstances did not agree with the
unanimous statement of the family.
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.
Very few persons know that pay
ment on account of a bite from a dot;
may be obtained from the dog tax fund
in a manner similar to the one in which
sheep are paid for that are injured by
doL'H, but such is the case, and it is well
to keep this in mind. Better still, than
to recover such damages, would be to
kill all dogs that haye a tendency to
bite without provocation.—Ex.

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

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
