Mr. Hathaway is very indignant about an' imaginary wrong done to the Council; the remarks about committees rushing to Columbus applied to the whole state, and everybody knows that for the last ten years the larger part of the legislation done at Columbus was local bills, and this practice the Su preme Court in accordance with Sec tion 1, Article 13; Section 0, Article 13, and Section 30, Article 2 of the consti tution, has swept away. I would re fer Mr. Hathawoy to an article of the Columbus Press, May 21st, referring to the unanimous decision of the Court in the case of Bison vs Burson and de livered by Judge Burkett. The article of the "Press" will be left at the Xeader for tho inspection of Mr. Hath away. There is no cause for indigna tion where no insult was intended. By profiting of this occasion the public would probably be pleased to know what has become of the $5000 allowed for the proposed market house? Now, we all understand very well the methods practiced here as well as elsewhere about street paving. Mari etta as a city of third grade and second or third class has followed the usage of another city of the same description probably, and as all general laws should apply to the whole Stete, and also as a matter of course to all cities alike and not to one city in particular, the Supreme Court has declared such laws unconstitutional. All laws should "be based on common sense and common justice; a law compelling a property holder to pay for paving property not his own, and the poorer classes to pay for the wealthier ones is unjust, and the usage of persons trafficking on said improved streets and not paying for the use thereof, is unjust. Mr. Hatha way holds that by paving the abutting property will increase in value. This is his individual opinion and lias no bearing on the justice or injus tice thereof. Other persons hold that the improvement, payable in half yearly rates for twenty yars, is a mortgage against the property, and naturally an Incumbrance. Let each have his own opinion and time will chow who is right Let the oil busi ness go down and we will say "Good "by boom." About the vote on those (15,000, we know well how that is done. The man holding no property votes for all ex penses and the man haying a team of any description or trafficking on said streets votes "yes." because other peo ple paying for his accommodation Bults him well. If you want an honest opin ion hold an election and'specify that only free holders on said street shall vote on the issue of bonds and on the improvement and see what the result may be. There is no justice to be had by persons paying no taxes voting the money out of other people's pockets, and there is no justice by the poor man payingten or twenty tlmos as much as the wealthy man. Mr. Hathaway may be very sincere Vy propotlng to haye those affairs discuaed before the Coun cil, but'lhe presfls the proper placcrto dlscus3 those affairs, as it becomes more generally known and Council may be in the habit of treating com plainants coming there rather cavalier ly by some one making a motion to lay it on the table or referring it to com mittee, and that is the end of it.

The Great Kanawha Company &' Frlnk have a good well in their Schau weeker No. 5. Whan drilled in the sand appeared to be pretty hard, but after shooting, tho well filled up seven hundred feet with oil. It will proba bly make from 50 to 100 barrels por day. Capt. McLaughlin's No.' 2 on tho Rod ney Reynolds leaso is reported dry in the first Cow Run sand, and will be drilled deeper. Franshot Bros, are haying bad luck this week. Their Collard No. 2 drop ped tho tools in the hole, tiud they have not yet succeeded in getting them put. They are still fishing for the lost bit'in tho 'J. S. Smith No. 5, with but little-hope of getting it out. ,The rig will probably haye to be moved and a new'nolo'a'rllled. Mallory Bros, havo sold their inter est in the Cornell and C. C. Schauweck er leases to Bruner & Bartlett. We are informed the consideration was SIS, 000. There are three producing wells on these leases. Haskell & Co. are getting up a new rig on tho irvin uranaon lease ana will drill it as soon as possible. Mallory Bros, are ready to drill on the Doutt five-acre lease, and will probably begin today. We are informed that a rig will be put up on the Cotton lease in tho next ten days. It belongs to Ohio parties. There is nothing new at Whiskey Run. Tho Nesbltt well is still plugged up with tools. The McCosh well is down some fifteen hundred feet and drilling nicely. The only sensation in the last week has been the rich strike on the Dye farm near Raven Rock, on the Ohio side of the river. This well came in at the rate of GOO barrels per day a week ago, but at this writing has decreased to 100 barrels per day. There is much discuslon as to what it is and what sand the oil comes from, but the gen eral opinion seems to be that it is "Big Injun" of the Wick. Oracle. Near Letart, W. Va., Sayer & Roush have leased 0,000 acres and will put in several wells.- They are associated with Pensylvania parties and will doubtless make the venture go with a whirl. In this same vicinity, but further back from the river, Thomas D. Van De Vort, his two brothers, and W. H. Shelton, of Dunkirk, N. Y., through their agent, Wm. Wood, have secured by lease in tho neighborhood of 5,000 acres of territory on Little Mill creek and Ten Mile and will have a well down by tho first of July to pre vent the forfeiture of all their leases. Ellenboro, W. Va., May 31. The connections have all been completed this week and Cairo now has a good supply of natural gas. The Central Production Company's well on the H. S. Wilson tract of land will reach the sand about Thursday next. The Cairo Oil Company's No. 5, on the Davidson farm, is good for fifty barrels per day. Gillespie Brothers will drill their well on tho Wesley Clark farm to the Big Injun sand, It being dry in the salt sand. The well drilling on the McGregor farm is expected in by Tuesday. Contractor Hugh Means, who is drill ing a well for the South Penn people at Cantwell Postofflce, has lost a string of tools. In the Whisky run field the interest centers on the McCosh farm well, which Is expected in to-morrow. The Strlckler Oil Company's No. 2 will not be in for two weeks. The well on the McKinney farm will be commenced on Monday. The well of Warren & Butts on the Berg farm at Eight Mile was shot Sat urday and bridged over. It will make a small well. The Mulligan well aboye Belpre is down 600 feet. The Dye well on Lease Run is hold ing up well, at last account making about 125 barrels per day. Board of Health Meotln. The Board of Health met last night at the Mayor's office for the purpose of reorganizing and appointing the Vice President and Health Officer. Dr. Hart, the Hoalth Officer whoso term has just expired, suggested to tho Board that it would be a good thing for tho city to employ a sanitary po liceman, whose duty it would be to constantly scour the city for any nuis ances that might exist and report tho same to the Board of Health. To keep all the. nuisancer, "about" the jcityabaied requires more time than a man who aaa ouiur uusmess can spare. This would seem to be a good idea, and in the l'ne of progress. The amount of this kind of work is growing constant ly with the city's increased population. A large number of nuisances were re ported to the Board. Electric Bitters. Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for any season, but perhaps more gen erally needed, when the lancuid ex hausted fooling prevails, when the liver is '.orpia ana sluggish and the need of a tonic and alterative is felt. A prompt use of this medicine has often averted long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine will act more surely in counteracting and free ing the system from the malarial poison. Headache, Indigestion, Con stipation, Dizziness yield to Electric Bittern, 50c and $L00 per bottle at Styer'a Drug Store. Insorsoll on tho Coronation of tho Ozar. New York, May 81. The World re" quested Robert G. Ingersoll to give the readers of that newspaper an expres sion regarding the ceremonies sur rounding the coronation of tho Czar. Tho Colonel compiled with tho request as' follows: ' While reading tho accounts of tho coronation of the Czar, of the pageants, processions and feast, of tho pomp and parade, of the barbaric splendor, of cloth of gold and glittering gems, I could not help thinking of tho poor and melancholy peasants, of tho toll ing, half-fed millions, of tho sad and Ignorant multitudes who belong body and soul to this Czar." 'I thought of the backs that1- have been scarred .by the UnOut, of t)ie thousands 'in prisons for having dared to say a whiskered word for freedom, of the great multitude who had 'been driven like cattle along the Weary roads that lead to the hell op BinnniA. The cannon at Moscow were not loud' enough, nor the clang of the bells, nor the blare of the trumpets to drown tho groans of the captives. I thought of tho fathers who had been torn from wives and children for tho crime of speaking like men. And when the priests spoke of the Czar as the "God selected man," the "God adorned man'i my blood grew warm. When I read of the coronation of the" Czarina I thoughtof Sibera. I thought of girls'working in the mines, hauling ore from the pits with chains about their waists; young girls almost naked at the meicy of brutal officials; young girls weeping and moaning their lives away because between their pure lips the word liberty had burst into blos som. Yet law neglects, forgets them and crowns the Czarina. The injustice, the agony and horror in this poor world arc enough to make mankind insane. IGNORANCE AND SUPERSTITIOJf Crown impudence and tyranny. Mil lions of money squandered for the hu mililiation of man to dishonor the peo ple. Back of the coronation, back of all the ceremony, back of all the hy pocrisy there is nothing but a lie. It is not true that God "selected" this Czar to rule and rob a hundred million of human beings. It is all an ignorant, barbaric, superstitious lie a lie that pomp and pageant and flaunt ing flags and robed priests and swing ing censors cannot change to'the truth. Those who are not blinded by the glare of glitter at Moscow can see mil lions of homes on which the shadows fall, see milons of weeping mothers, whose children have been stolen by the Czar; see the thousands of villages, without schools, millions of houses without books, millions and millionsof men, women and children in whose future there is no star and whose only friend is death. The coronation is an insult to the nineteenth century. Long live the people of Russia! R. G. ISGtI190LL. For a Bicyclo Track. Editor Leader: Now that the bi cycle races are over and the wheelmen of the city have time to look the situa tion over, I want to make a suggestion. Tho race meet just oyer has demon strated that cycle racing has taken a great hold on our people. It is a clean sport and interesting and exciting. To the minds of many it is preferable to horse-racing. It is well known that the track at tho Fair Grounds is not fit for bicycle racing owing to the sharp and unbanked turns. For this reason' it is impossible to make fast time; be sides it is almost an impossibility to get a smooth track. What then can be done to secure a suitable track? I believe that a good cement track, with wide, well banked turns could bo make at a not very high costT Make the track about 30 feefwide and place it inside the -present track; let it be a third mile in length. - If this can be done we will then have as good a track for cycle racing as there is in Ohio. How can the money bo raised to build it? I believe that if an agree ment can be made between the Lobdell Club and the Fair Association as to the use of the track, the money could be raised by private subscription among the devotees of the sport. These ideas are only those of one who is interested in the sport and wouia ntie very mucn to see such a track built Why can't the Lobdell Club take the matter in hands and see what can be done. It could be no harm and might be productive of much. f?f j at ? y AvWngEf,MAtf. r OaUAoznto-BIiu Remain a QokLfltaie1 California'' wW d goldjetatw wbfinit woa admitted end has remained jigold, state einoo.

Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich., we are permitted to make this extract: "I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. King's New Discovery, as the re sults were almost marvelous in the case of my wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist Church at Rives Junction she was brought down with Pneumonia succeeding La Grippe. Terrible parox ysms of coughing would last for hours witn jiuie interruption . ana it seemed as if she could not survive them.
