m 1? Is the Attempt to be Mndcbr Wea ther Observer Schnept TO HAVE A WEATHER STATION ' AND OBSERVATORY LOCATED IN ? WHEELINO ?THE OBSERVER LEFT EARLY THIS MORNING f B'C/ir WASHINGTON, WHERE HE WILL LAY THE MATTER BE FORE THE PROPER OFFICIALS, MR. REYMANN'S GENEROUS OF FER OF A SITE. ? Early this morning, Mr. Christian Schnepf, tho local representative ot tho ^United Stales weather bureau, loft for Washington City. In addition to transacting private business Mr. .'Bchnopf will approach Prof. Willis ' Moore, the chief signal officer, inchargo ;,of the weather service, In regard to a matter that la of considerable Interest In Wheeling. Recently, Mr. Anton Reymann, who takes <iultc nn Interest In the weather service, said to Mr. Schnepf that In tho event of the government officials being persuaded that Wheeling ought to have Its own observatory and corts of sig nal officers,' ho would give, without cost, a site for the observatory on the summit of Reymann hill, which la lo cated bad: of tho brewery, and on .which Is loeated Mr. Reymanti's sum mer home. In addition, ho said he would bear a portion of tho expense of erecting the observatory building. Mr. Schnepf carries this generous proposition to Washington, where ho will lay It before the proper oinclnls and also Reek the aid of tho West Vir ginia congressmen in having Wheeling mndeui weather station. It la said there Is some doubt ot his success on account of tho lock of funds in the sig nal service bureau. However, the ef fort will be made, and may result In success later'if not In the Immediate future. Tho stations near Wheeling arc lo cated nt Pittsburgh ond Parkersburg. At Pittsburgh there are four men on duty, and two at Parkersburg. The ad vantage of having weather predictions made up from data secured by nn ob server right on the spot Is considerable, ond would result In more accurate fore casts for Wheeling and surrounding towns.

Roea Llnde, tho great American contralto, for three eeaiona the star of Mapleson's opera company In It* palmy days, Is to appear with Innea and his famous band In this city. She became most agreeably known to what Now York critics, In that ludicrous hauteur and aaaumcd superiority, aro pleased to call "the provinces," meaning every part of tho United States not within the bounds of the metropolis, through her association with the Llnde-Nordlca Company. Tho only objection tho pub lic had to that organization was the ex traordinary value U placed on scats. Innee will not permit any such nonsense in connection with his concerts. Mme.

Its range 16 three octaves, every tone pure, clear and beautiful. Madame Llnde has done no little In achieving success as a singer of marked ability. The fact that she has, by mar riage, become a daughter of Tennessee, should borrow additional local enthusi asm In that tftate and vicinity Just as the knowledge that she Is a Pittsburgh girl, educated by American masters, and recognized both In this country and Europe as the best American product of the kind, assures her a warm welcome In Pittsburgh and adjoining cities. Anncs' band will be at the Opera House next Thursday, February 3rd, matinee and night. EUGENIE BLAIR. The great emotional actress, Eugenie Blalf, will be the attraction at the Opera House next Saturday afternoon and evening, presenting, probably, "Tho New Magdalen" and "Camillc." Says the New Orleans Times-Democrat: One of the largest audiences seen In the Academy of Music since the begin ning of the stock company season .as sembled to witness Eugenie Blair's inter pretation of "Camlle." The play Is so well known that any comment upon it would be wholly unnecessary. Some peo ple like It and others look upon it as par ticularly unwholesome, but one thing was evident, and that was that It had not lost its power to attract and deeply In terest a large audience in New Orleans. Eugenie Blair's impersonation of the title role was artistic and foreful. Her pathos has a quality of genulne3s that was convincing and contagious, and In her lighter moods she was full of play ful comedy, always viviclous and taking. The scene with the elder Duval, and af terward with Armand In the third act. was a particularly strong and deeply pathetic one. She was repeatedly called before the curtain to bow her acknowl edgements. OLE OLSON HERE. That this is a progressive age is clear ly demonstrated by the enormous suc cess that has awarded the sensational bicycle race In "Ole Olson" thi3 season. To have a number of bicycle cracks ride at full speed several miles In full view of the audience may appear Incredible. Yet such Is the actual truth. By an In genious patented mechanical device the riders never leave the stage and yet ride at record-breaking pace. At the Grand the first half of the week. A feature Monday night will be the bicycle race between Jrss McCau?land and "The Ter rible Swede." MRS. W. H. LESTER DEAD. Wife of the Well Known Presbyterian Divine Died Saturday. On Saturday occurred the death of Mrs. W. II. Lester, of West Alexander, wife of the well known Presbyterian divine,* who has preached In Wheeling pulpits many times. Mrs. Lester was prominent and active in woman's work in the Washington presbyters*, and she wa3 liked and respected by a large cir cle of friends. She was a graduate of Mount Holyoke seminary, when that institution of learning was under the direction of Mary Lfon. Soon after this she married Mr. Lester and came with him to West Alexander, which was his ^rst and has been his only pastoral charge. She was a woman of great Christian devotion, whose work in the "Church was highly valued, even though she was handicapped by being a partial Invalid. She leaves a daughter. Miss Bessie, and two 6ons, the Rev. W. H. Lester. Jr., pastor of the Presbyterian church of Greenville, Tenn., and Na thaniel Lester, of West Alexander. The funeral occurs at West Alexander on Tuesday at S p. in. A number of Wheeling people will go out on the 1:15'Baltimore & Ohio train, returning at 6:20 p. in. 'I'll* Storm* Gang t!inlor Arrril. BURLINGTON, Iowa. Jan. 30.?Six members of what la known as the Storms gang are now under arrest, charged with complicity in the murder of Mrs. P.athburn and her daughter. Blood stains wero found on the cloth ing of Storms, the leader. A lad named Peterson to-day told the police he call ed at the home of the Rathburns sev eral weeks ago and found two men there. One of them, he said, asked Mary Rathburn to fix his tie, and the boy afterwards Identified the tie found on the body of Mary Rathburn as the one that had been called to his atten tion that night. The supposition Is that the girl tore tho tie from her assailant In the struggle for her life. Young Pe terson also picked out the man Storms from a number of prisoners, and de clared he was the man who wore the tlo on the night he called nt the Rath burn home. The police also say they have Information that throats wero made by mcmbr-rs of the Storms gang against the Rathburns. Prm Drill r it S(nllot WASHINGTON. D.

Only a few changes mark the course of events In the fields of olldom during tho past week, and these are not of particular significance, although tho bear clement of the trade madt the best of them to depress the valuo and the situation In general, says the Leader review of olL Perhaps the most noted change In de velopments Is tho recent striko on Whiskey Itun, Ip Ritchie county, which came In "Wednesday afternoon. The late producer over which such an ado has been made. Is located on tho Al brecht farm and Is owned by Thcodoro Barnadall und Mallory Bros. Tho wild est rumors woro set In circulation as to tho new venture's production, and for a time gained noino credence. Upon In quiry of several prominent producers (ono or two of whom are Interested In the locality) what they knew nbout tho now strike, all said they had direct and authentic Information from tho well and It wo* making thirty-five barrels nn hour. Tno writer being familiar with this territory and its past development took these reports with lots of salt, be lieving that If Whisky Run had yleldod a producer of this caliber it certainly was most extraordinary. I.ater tho size of the well dwindled down to 250 bar rels a day, then to 160 barrols. The re ports said the oil wan found In the Big Injun formation, and that Whisky Run was destined to be the Klondike of tho great southwest. Tho writer telegraphed n trusted scout In the Whisky Run district who had been on tho scene, for information concerning the new find, and here is what he said: "Tho Barnsdall and Mallory Bros.' well, located on the Abbrecht farm, Whisky Run, has been erroneously rc proted, and Its present condition will make perhaps from 75 barrels to 100 bar rels a day. The oil was found In tho Keener sand, but some claim It Is from the Big Injun." ? The oil certainly resembles that found In the other Keener sand wells In this district, and why tho claim should bo made that it Is Big Injun is not ac counted for. From the indications of the Abbrecht well there Is considerable Interest man ifested, and as a result several loca tions have been made, but owing to tho a'most Impassable condition of tho roads it will be some time before ma chine}' and supplies can bo gotten into the Held. Since the Elk Fork Oil and Gas Com pany have gained their suit for the present, it is most likely that they will commence nn active campnlgn in tho pool on the Johnson leases, which em brace 20,000 or 23,000 acres of territory. But at best their operations will be slow, owing to the bad roads, which affect the transporting of lumber nnd machinery. The victory gained by the Elk Fork peo ple seems'to meet the general approba tion of the trude. Perhaps there was never litigation Involving tho right to oil lands In tho southwest that has at tracted so much Interest. Tho case, however, has been appealed to the high er courts, and some tlmo will elapse be fore the controversy la settled. The Elk Fork,field has remained rath er passive for some tlmo, and nothing has occurred out of the ordinary. With in the past week or so one or tivo dust ers have been completed, while the wells that were found were by no means gushers. The Hill Oil Company have started their No. 15 on the Hill, which Is considered quite an Important test, as It is located in the southwest end of the farm, and is considered clearly out of the line of defined territory. This company are pushing work ns fast as possible at their Nos. 13 and 14 Hill, but it willjbe some time before the pay is reached. While Elk Fork has presented many sensations In the way of gushers when least expected. It has nlso in the past week surprised the local talent by a rank duster, when it was thought fail ure was Impossible. This surprise was ?Henry & McDonald's No. 2 W. W. Gor rell, located in purely denned territory, and only 400 feet south of the Fearless Oil Company's good producer on the Ag nes Gorrell farm. In this part of the pool the pay is found near the top of the sand, perhaps eight or nine feet in. while the wells in the northern part of the field are found anywhere from four teen to twenty-five feet in the sand. When the owners failed to find oil In tho top of the rock they were not the least dismayed, but felt certain they would find a rich pay when the drill reached the level of the pay in tho wells In the northern part of the field, but it was a dust road from start to finish. This result has unquestionably put a quietus on further hunts to the south. The South Penn Oil Company' wero again amonp the prize winners during the week in Monongalia county. West Virginia. Near the source of Flat run they tapped the first pay in No. 2 S. J. Harvy, and the well responded at the rate of twenty barrels an hour. Fur ther operations were suspended during the removal of the boiler out of harm's way, and at this writing the drill has not been sent deeper Into the rock, so the full result of this strike cannot be reported. This new strike is located some distance to the east of other de velopments, and for tbis reason It Is considered of Importance. Of a recent date, however, the deep sand region of the Mountain state lias not presented tho most glowing aspect. The failures that have come to pass In the past week have lowered the sails set by the gushers some tlmo ogo. The disappointment to the owners of theses costly ventures Is hard to bear and will have a tendency to chill their ardor in the Gordon sand. Perhaps ono of the most Important test wells completed in this formation j for some time past and which has also condemned quite a large amount of ter ritory. was finished by the South Penn Oil Company at the beginning of the week. This venture is located on Plney Fork, Wetzel .county, to the northwest of the deep sanders In this county, and j situated on the J. Brash fnrin. It was : the dryest duster found In the state for I many months. In their wildcat explo- | ration, in the same formation they mot j with failure on the W. G. Snodgrass j farm, some distance east from the noted ! Mills tract. In Wetzel county the 3ame ; company ran up against another dust er on the H. T. Smith farm, in the Big ! Sandy district. On Campbell's run, Ma rion county, the South Penn people ; found a 150-bnrrel well on J. A? Arnett's j farm. A BIG OIL DEAL. LIMA, Ohio, Jan. SO.?The Mount Zion Oil Company, of this city, has sold to Cleveland capitalists, headed by D. F. Sherbondy, all of its property in Wells county, Indiana, consisting of C29 acr^M of land, all but 100 of which Is de veloped; forty-seven wells with a pro duction .of about 050 barrels per. day. The purchase price was in the neigh borhood of $110,000. DURING the past two years, Mrs. J. W. Alexander, wife of the editor of the Waynesboro, (Miss.)
