Oil Fever DrorvklnK   Out A«i\in
in Piko County.
Nearly forty years ago, when the
groat oil osclUuneot In Pennsylvania
waant tta height, prospectors front lhat
region of country Were attracted bere
by tlm fatuous tar apring, located at
the head of Carter'* Run iu fcluufl>h
townships wbicb furnished lhe same
kind of surface Indications of oil aa waa
fonnd io i'eunayivanla. bevcral com-
panics woro organized ln the east lo
develop the oil territory In this coun*
tV, and camo here with the necessary
machinery and cqutpmonta to do the
work. Several wells were put dovrn
ln favorable localities, but after roach-
ing a depth of fonr or flre hundred feet
and not finding any Judications of oil,
they were abandoned. For a tlmo the
excitement ran high andtbousanda upon thousands of acres of landfln erery
portion of tbe coanty wero leased by
the different companies, but strango
to relate, no effort was ever made to
dovelop tne territory around the Tar
Spring, where, trom the earliest settlement of ibis country, tbe erode petroleum haa been runulng out upon tho
walor in a spring that flow* through a
crevice beoeath a high wall of stone.
We learn, however, tbat a movement
la now on foot lo develop the territory at thla point. A company has leased tbo land st the spring and obligated itself to commence the work of drilling' for oil inside oi thirty days. It is
said that the company has every confidence in tbe existence of oil In lhat
locality and will not ceaso the work
of drilling therefor until thev reach a
depth of seventeen hundred feet, at
whlcb thev nre confident thoy will find
oil in paying quantities.

Apples tind the Farmer.
The apple crop of the United States
ia more, valuable than lis harvost of
wheat. The total yield of apples in
1900 was about 215,000.000 barrels. At
an average price ot $! a barrel, tbo
total value of the crop waa t4.H0.000.000
while tbe average annual of tbe wheal
crop la but a little more thaa $300,000.
000.
Our export of apples now reaches
4.000,000 barrels, and this trade is rapidly expanding. American apples
abroad bring KtoMi ban el, most of
the fruit bringing a sum nearer the
larger figure. There ia oo reason wby
export of applea should not, In a com*
paralively abort time, reach 100,000,000
barrels.
Ohio Is the heart and center of ono of
America's many great apple-producing
aeotions. We raise In tbt* fertile belt
many fine varieties of the luscious
fruit, but we can, through study and
improved methods, of cultivation, do
better atlll, both m tbo tastier Olqufih
ity and tn thai 6f quanlty. Onr farm'
ers should be made to understand that
there is money in apples—apples of
ihe healthful, vigorous kinds, tbat
compel tbe attention of buyers In tbe
homt and outsldo markets. Northern
Europe, inclsding tho British lalos, the
Netherlands, Uormany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Russia, all offer a
most promising field for American en-
terprleo in thu matter ot apples. Olve
tbe Europeana a cbanoe to enjoy and,
of course, pay for A morlcan apples.—
Commercial Tribuu*.
All the Tribune saya is probably
true, but it stopped short o( the
most important advice to the farmer
and incidental (ruit grower. As
soon as tbese lstter fully realize
tbat tbere is a war to bo waged
against fruit pests, aod tbat the
campaign opens with the planting
of the tree, and is to be kept up incessantly from year to year, then in
this portion may be grown aa large,
fully developed, fine flavored, showy
luscious aoples as ever grew outside the Garden of Eden.
Fruit tree spraying to kill tbe
enemies of both tree and fruit is
now not only simply necessary, but
an absolute, emphatio essentiality.
And the Pike county farmers who
fully realizes this tirst, will harvest
the most profitable crop of their
entire (arms.

Last week, Att'y McLaughlin and
Henry Stabler, purchased a tract ot a
thousand acres of land near Elm Grove
that belonged to aome victim of a land
shark in tbe east, who waa wanttng
to unload hla Pike eounty possessions
for tbe reason tbat bis only "income"
therefrom was tax receipts and proa*
pective law suits with numerous squatters thereon. The tract contalna a
large quantity of good farming lands
some of which bad been greatly improved by responsible squatters. The
otber day, when Messrs. McLaughlin
and Stabler visited their possessions,
they were greatly surprised to find
things in far better shape tban tbey
bad eren hoped for. Tbey fonnd scv-

As I have had occasion to remark
before, I can not understand how
people can deliberately go away
from their native country aod thc
people wbom they havo known always, as well as leave all familiar
scenes behind them, and tben have
no thought of or use for the local
paper. I think I never wasso glad
to seo a paper in my life as I was to
see tbe Watchman this week. Thero
bave been times when I helped to
issue tbe paper myself that now and
tben a doubt would arisoaato whether the Watchman was actually thc
best paper in the United States. My
mind is clear, however, oo that
matter now. It ia thn very best and
the News and the Jackson papers
oome next. There is nothing in
intense interest that takes thc place
of a letter from home and the local
paper is thc oomplctcst and never
failing in its weekly regularity. It
is inexplicable, that some people
who go away from i'ike to live elsewhere do not seem to appreciate
this faote
I believe I left off my observations last week with a few boquots
tossed in the direction of Grovcr
Cleveland. While doing this we
were slowly approaching the Buffalo landing. About half past eight
we were at anchor and in a lew
moments more, aboard an Elmwood
street car on route for the Exposition grounds. After a run of some
three or four miles across tho city
wc were dropped at the Elmwood
street gate where we entered the

If you have any poetry io your
soul, your first view of the "Rainbow City" wjll cause you to wonder whether in this magnificent
material conception you do not
bave before you a moro or less
unconscious evidence ofthe splendor and munificence of thc new Jerusalem of divine Revelation. Somehow such croations are suggestive
of thc Heavenly City that the Bible
and the preachers tell us about and
it seems impossible for me, at least,
to look upon these splendid evidences of inventive genius and skill
without having a sort of mental
vision of the glories aud grandeur
of a world yet to come. The here
positive and manifest results of the
finite aro to me the indisputable
foreshadowing of future life and development.
At the Obio State Building, wife
and I were welcomed by Representative and Hon. Charles and Mrs.
Swain and Custodian A. L. and Mrs
Rowe. Of course these latter will
atonce be recognized by all Waverly people. Mr. Swain is the present
Democratic Representative from
Hamilton county, having already
served bis secood term. For four
years be haa been the recognized
minority leader io tbo House and
an important member of the committee on finance and taxation. In
recognition of his eminent fitness,
Governor Nash made bim the Democratic Pan American Commissioner
along with Senator Patterson of
Pike and MoEinnon of Ashtabula,
to expend tbe 130,000 appropriated
by tbe state to give Ohio representation and standing at tbe present
Exposition. The state building is
an elegant structure, colonial architecture. It is square or nearly so,
two story with upper and lower
porches running entirely around,
tbe former being supported by massive plain columns, the whole structure being white. It it divided into
a large, finely frescoed assembly
room,reception and reading rooms
for both ladies and gentlemen,
rooms for thc commissioners and
custodian, toilet, batb rooms and so
forth. We were made to feel at
home at once and did not feel otherwise until wc wero once more
aboard tbe steamer bound forborne.
I waot to assure Tike county people that "I.on" and his wife will do
everything they can to make any or
all of them, who visit thc Exposition, feel at home. Myself and Mrt
Johnson are under very many obligations for kindness received at
tbeir hands and (or which wc make
acknowledgment. They were delighted to see us, just as they will
he delighted to see you.
The National Editorial Association did not meet until Tuesday
morning, so that we spent Monday
afternoon and evening taking an
ontsidc and general view of tho
great ahow. Tuesday morning 10
o'clock, thc Association convened
in annual session in thc Temple of
Music. And hy the way, when you
go to thc Exposition, don't forget
to visit tbis Temple and its counterpart in architecture, the Ethnological building on thc opposite
side of the Esplanade. Both these
structures arc wonderful settings of
skill and lsbor. Of course, I shall
make no attempt to rccord tha proceedings of our convention. In the
first place, you would not be Interested, and in tbe second place you
would not be profited.    Suffice it
Silaa was Cn-ughl Napping.
to say that the convention held Aaa* 4?1.lhA»tt°.D.° Hfgfffl^irr^fflij^
sionsVt^aV intervals SSSW"
day^forcnoon, when it adjourned to
meei next year at Hot Springs, Arkansas. Out of a single session I
figure that I derive enough benefit
to more than offset my ion of time
and very nominal expense.
On Tuesday afternoon, the members of our Association, with their
wives, and in some cases, sons and
daughters, some 1200 in all, acccp
ted an invitation extended by the
Buffalo Merchant s Exchange for a
twenty-five mile excursion on the
lake, and a banquet aboard the
steamer. I think every mother's
son and daughter of us accepted,
and you ean just imagine whether
tbat boat did not have to be of goodly proportions. In going aboard
this steamer, I soon discovered that
I had been in error about the,"City
of Buffalo" beiog the largest of the
lake craft, for hero was the "North
land,'] one-half larger, at least than
anything we had yetseen, and about
three timea as luxurious and gorgeously furnished.
It took twHty-four of Buffalo's
largest street cars to get us from
Stattler's Hotel, (the place of ren-
dexvous) tc the dock. There must
bare been 2500 excursionists aboard
when we threw off the cables, and
followed slowly, a harbor tog out
into the expansive blue of the lake.
Directly the steamer was under
headway we began o.owding thc
dining ball, where the banquet continued throughout tho entire voyage. It was a pleasant ri:e and a
royal feast, all free, and not a cent
to pay, with thc compliments of the
business men of Buffalo.
On Wednesday, tbe editors and
their families became guests of tbe
Niagara and Navigation Belt Linn
Company, to the Fells and return,
all expenses settled in advance by
the Company, including another
banquet, to the musio of the great
cataract, and about which I will tell
you in my next.

Down on tbe county farm, near tbe

The Dangers of Idleness.
Waverly was treated to the first gen*
nine cloud burst iu many yeara on last
Thursday evening. It seems lhat two
clouds met dbectly over th* valley In
tbla section—one from the weal, heavily charged witb electricity and rain,
and the otber trom tho east, heavily
charged with ball, wind aod electricity
and aa tbey came together, a terrible
battle ef the olemecu ensued and for
the space of fully an hour the thunders
rolled, the lightnings flashed, rain and
hall fell in great sheets, and the wind
blew with great force. During the first
twenty minutes of the storm's duration
oue Inch of rain telL Tbe total rainfall doling the storm was one and a
halt inches. Considerable damage waa
dona 'xx tbe wheat and orchards by the
wind.

I was deeply impressed with the
faithful picture from nverv-day life
which you drew in your "Notes hy the
W»y," in a recent number of your
paper of the girl who pa<»es the morning hours in dreamy idleness, while
ber mother It out in the back yard doing tho week's washing. Some girls of
my aequaintanco seem to regard it a*
an honor to have It known that they
have never learned to wa*h. sew nor
cook, but wben It came to thumping
"What Is Homo Without a Mother,"on
tbe piano, her nituul • flo_[«rir__.no»«r
the koya with a celerity and expert.
ness born of long practice.
Not many years sgo I beard a young
lady remark, sa tf she boa-ted of her
lack of knowledge of domestic attain,,
tbat she "couldn t turn a piece of msat
in a skillet." Soon after she married a
young man who proved to bo a til com-
p.m.on in idleness and cxiravaganco
The inevitable result followed, lu leaa
than three years sbe experienced greater difficulty in getting a rump steak
than ahe did la frying it.
Much has been said and written of
the dangers lhat lurk tn the wake ot
Idleness It was laiprevwd upon our
rontbful minds in our copy hooks and
Tn our readers. We werclold that idleness is the mother of mi-cbiet. And
'Hundreds of precepts can he found tbal
were written by the wisest of men—
sll tending to prove the demoralizing
effecU of idleness. SaUo is ever ou
the alert to find steady employment for
idle banda
Ths girl who is loo indolent to perform the household dttUei required of
her ls not loo lazy to be actively engaged with her tonguo Her acquaintances are kem in a slate of chronic
discomfort in expectlag a visit. A
knock at tbe door strikes terror lo lbs
busy housewife. « A "call" means a
loss of time without the slightest compensation. Work lo tbe kitchen or at
the sewing machine most be abandoned, and this means practically, giving
up tbe work for thc lorenoon, and tbis
requires overwork the remainder of
tbe dsy.
One of tbe greatest difficulties that
mothers have to contend with in tbe
education of tbeir daughters Ss tbe idle
Mlas, who having unlimited time at
her disposal, drops in al boar* devoted
to study, nr in getting the noon meal,
in fact at any time sbe lakes a notion
to select. Having no occupation but
to visit an.l be visited, il Is Inevitable
that the daughter sbould be Influenced
more for evil lhan good. It may hc
tbat tbe unwelcome visitor Is a relative
or so connected socially aa to make It
imooMible to refuse to admit ber, or
thero isay be other reasons for keeping on good terms with har. Aad so it
comes to paaa that tbe girls who would

are constantly Interrupted by this vary
common pest, Aad this Is tha most
discouraging fsature ot unrestricted
