' Like many other churches, Benwood i j M. E. church is laboring under the bur- ! den of a heavy debt. Some time ago the i | secret societies of Eenwobd decided to assist the church, which had always i been at their disposal whenever they 1 needed It. and In return for the church's genetoslty they have since done much to I lessen the debt. This is particularly true of the Daugh ters of Rebekah, of Benwood. and they 1 got up a successful bazaar and watch i contest a few days ago, last niglrt turn | ing over the profits, $505. to the board of 'trustees of the church. The board thanked the ladles for their splendid 1 work, and the words of gratitude were j slight in comparison to what the trus I tees and the church members In general j felt. The ladles certainly did splendid in realizing so much money for the cause. | After happy remarks by the trustees | and members Df :he Daughters of Re bekah, the latter organization was ten i dered an enjoyable banquet by the j board. | Another contribution toward lifting j the church debt, amounting to 5SS. was received from the Junior Epworth i League, the result of ltd entertainment, a cantata, "The Dream of Fairyland." ; The little folks well deserved the praises they received for their work, and with such help as the Benwood M. E. church is receiving it should .soon pierce the financial cloud that has been oppressing it. SECOND CHRISTIAN Gives its First Social and Supper To-night.

There are large tracts of coal lands near Meyersdolc, Pa., on the Baltimore &Ohlo railroad, which capitalists aro beginning to develop. A new road,about five miles long, has been pushed Into this region and will soon be ready for operation. Jt Is one of a number of small lines that are being built by out aide parties to develop hitherto inac cessible tracts of both coal and timber* lands In Pennsylvania and West Vir ginia, * PAN-HANDLE ECHOES.

There Ik nothing In the field situation to warrant any disparagement to a continued ad vance, says "D. 8. W.,M the Standard'* man. The South Penn Oil Company has drilled Its No. 2, J. W. Starkey, through the Gordon and has a duster In that formation. It will make a small well from the Big Injun. In Wetsel coutvty, J. T. Jones has drilled .his test on the Bennett farm on Crow's cun. through the Gordon and has a duiitel. It will be remembered that these Givrdon dusters are expensive luxuries. Rltchlo county Is the most Important of any In the lower southwest, in point of new and Interesting developments. Near RJtchJe Mines, the Ritchie Mines Oil Company has drilled In Its No. 2 on the H. 8. Wilson tract and Is reported to have a producer good for GO barrels a day. This Is a new Bait sand develop ment that Is somewhat promising. Barnsdall & Rich drilled a test on a part of the same tract to the top of the sand an\l got a strong gas pressure, which caught Are and consumed the riff. The same company has a show for a welt on the Rutherford farm at Devil Hole. On ?ugar Camp run, Apple & Elyea have started to drill on the Jacob Huff farm. On Illrschs run, Lambert & Co. are( building a rig for a test well on?the Ja-' cob Pratt farm, Grant district. MoManus & Co. have a flvc-barrel well on the McKlmvey estate, on the North Pork of Hughes river. They also got a strong dose of salt water. Swisher & Co. have drilled their test on the W. H.

Williamson- farm and- the Pnyne^twelve acres. Mwllory Bros, are drilling their No. 2 on the Albreicht and have the rig up for No. 3 on the same farm. The Mountain State Gas Compnnyjias a rig up on the N. Payne farm, on- Bonds .cree. Mallory Bros, also have the rig completed and ready to start the drill on the E. M. Butcher fann. THE COST Of Drilling an Oil Well In West Virginia or Pennsylvania. In answer to an enquiry as to the cost of drilling an oil well in the Pittsburgh district, the Oil City Derrick says: The cost of an oil well depends entire ly upon Its depth and the difficulty or ease of drilling. In the Pittsburgh dis trict. by which we suppose is meant the oil territory In Washington; and Alle gheny counties, there is as great vari ance as anywhere, and a well complete and connected with tank costs all the way from $2,500 to $6,000. To drill a well there is required, first, a derrick, which costs from W00 to $700, according to .lo cation. and second, a boiler, engine and belt, which costs about $750 more. Thcna there is from 250 to 1.000 feet of heavy casing needed, that costs about 25 cents a foot. When the well Is completed it is tubed with two-inch tubing, which reaches from the top to the bottom- of the well, and costs about ten cents a foot. Then there are the incidental ex penses.of cartage, tank for the oil, tor pedo and cleaning out, making connec tions, etc.. which may amount to from $150 to $400 more. The cost of drilling varies from 40 cents to $1.35 a foot. In the deep or Gordon sand of West Vir ginia where wells are drilled to a depth of 3.000 feet, it 1? not unusual for a well to cost from $S,000 to $10,000. These deep weils require an- enormous amount of iron pipe?beginning with, say twelve Inch casing and winding up with a four an-i one-half-inch liner. A well 3,000 feet deep when completed In this territory may contain nearly three times its depth of drive pipe, casing and tubing. * PLATE MILLS OFF. Riverside plate mills A' and B went off after the second turn Wednesday night, and will be off until further no tice. The men think they may be idle some little time, and believe the shut down is on account of lack of orders. Their run was uninterrupted for sev eral months. BROKE GLASS AND SIGN.

Lukens, was being removed from his Jewelry store yesterday, about 1 o'clock, In some manner It slipped from the hands of the man taking It down, and Jell to the pavement a total wreck.
