It Is doubtful if any drama ever produced in Indiana gave more general satisfaction than did tho "Drummer Boy of Shiloh." Largo audiences witnessed it four nights last week, and a dissenting voice has not yet been heard. As the Drummer Clements looked and acted the a nicety, and the work of the others of the cast was up to a high degree of excellence.

Including all who at different times appeared on the stage during the evening tho company numbered 54 persons. The first night's receipts amounted to the second $131, the third $134 and tho fourth in all f406. Of this amount Mr. Weigle was paid 35 per the bal ance, after expenses have been deducted, going to Company F. It wiU go into a fund looking to the erection of a now armory, for which considerable assistance is expected through a State appropriation.

Mr. Weicle left Indiana on Saturday morning for Dawson, Fayette county, where he will again drill a home talent company, for the production of the play. In speaking of tho merit of hia Indiana company he said it would compare favorably any he has drilled for a longtime. The contest for the gold watch offered by Mr. Weigle to the member of the company selling the greatest number of tickets was rather spirited.

The three contestants who put forward the greatest efforts were Richard Clements, who sustained the title role in the company, Harry Watson and L. M. Birch. The Drummer Boy came off victorious, laving disposed of worth. Watson was second with and Birch got rid of $19.10 worth but withdrew from the contest after the first night's production, lichard was presented with the watch during the third act of the drama on Thursday night.

It is a beautiful hunting case and will long serve as a reminder to him of an important epoch in his boyhood. Mr. Weigle made the presentation speech and the result was heard with applause. At a meeting of Company on Monday evening, April 15, 1895, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: Resolved, "That we the members of Company 5th Reg. N.

G. do hereby tender a vote of thanas to the general public for their liberal patronage of our recent drama, 'The Drummer Boy of Resolved, "That we further extend our most sincere thanks to the members of the cast, who so willingly devoted their time and attention to make the play a success; especially are those thanks due to the persons in the cast outside of the Military Company, who without any compensation for same, gave their time and performed their parts so creditably, for the benefit of the cause." INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, API1IL 17, 18JJ5. AND VICINITY. WILL PENSION JUDGES. NUMBER 30 WILL SINK ANOTHER WELL.

The Local Gas Company to $MU Further Develop the Wlllot Field. As soon as the weather permits, the Indiana County Gas Co. will drill another well in the Willet field. The derrick is already on the ground, as is also a portion of the tools. The recent unprecentcd rise in the price of oil, however, makes drillers very hard to get, almost all good men being employ- 3 in the oil fields.

While prodding away fortheiiuid which warms the bodies and sometimes the tempers of their Indiana patrons the ga.s company has never entirely abandoned the hope that oil will in time, bo found in pay- Ing quantities. They argue that, while gas has frequently been discovered without oil, the Hading of the latter has always been preceded by a gasser. The discovery of oil near Brockway villo, Jefferson county, a few weeks ago, has only served to strengthen their hopes, territory in this county being directly on the line on which the Brock way- vllle field Is located. Pittsburg: and Phi a delphia capitalists have representatives in and about the Willet field almost constantly in the hope of falling on to a 'ew good leases, but while they are work- ng to gain a point the local company sits Its office here and winks tho other eye, 'or they have succeeded in gobbling up the cream of the land from Willet almost to Qeorgeville.

A GAZETTE reporter called on them yes terday afternoon, and found them com fortably situated in the rooms of the Law Library. The table in front of them was a horrible mess of books and papers relat ing to the case. Judge Doty was writing a telegram as the reporter stepped in. "Well, what can we tell the people of the county this was the queery. Judge Barker looked across the table and answered "Just say that Judge Doty is writing a tele gram authorizing his Pittsburg broker to sell for him 10,000 barrels of oil at £2 35 a barrel, which six months ago he only paid 56 cents for." A smile passed around the Court and Judge Doty responded "and just add that Judge Doty is mighty sorry that his Cambria countv colleague is stretching the truth." And so it appears the judees crack jokes occasionally, too, even if their appearance on the bench seldom indicates it.

The same work is in progress this week as lust. The evidence is still being scrutinized, all of the individual testimony bein? taken up. About half of the testl mony IIKH been examined so far, and the tribunal was unable to state when the runtu-r will be disposed of. AMONG THE CHURCHES. WEDDINGS HEIOND THERE.

A MYSTERIOUS FORGER Secures About S1OO Ky Uslun the SIu- or BlHclcllck Citizens. Last week G. M. Doty and Harry Graff, well-known citizens of Blacklick township, received notice from the First National Bank, ot Indiana, stating that a note drawn in favor of a Mr. Kline, and endorsed by them was due.

The gentlemen called at the bank and were surprised to find their names attached to a note for about $100.

All loose change thrown into the colleo tiun basket will be appropriated for home expenses except that contributed on the days set a part for benevolence. The congregation on the first of April was in debt over $1,700, the amount contributed during the proceeding year having fallen about $1,100 short of the amount assessed.
