MAKING GOOD PROGRESS.
Abandoned Well Now Cleaned out for
1.000 Feet.
From Monday's Daily.
Reports from the Orange County
Oil company's well on the Chas.
Block place, five miles northeast of
Orange, are encouraging and to the
effect that good progress is being
made by driller W. O. Head.
Saturday * evening the 1 drill had
cleaned out about a thousand feet of
the fifteen hundred foot deep hole,
and work was going ahead cleaning
out the remainder of the fifteen hun-
dred feet of the hole. t
This well, when abandoned, had
been drilled to. a depth ábove stated,
then stopped up with hot clay, and
it has always been the opinion of the
Orange people that the hole contain*
ed oil, or that there Was an oil pool
near the bottom of it.
Yesterday there Were rumors' cur-
rent on the streets that the well
was almost cleaned and that about
thirty per cent oil was coming out
with the water used in drilling, but
this report was unfounded, for as yet
the entire hole has not been cleaned,
and will not be for several days to
come.
At any rate, driHer Head is encour-
aged with the progress that is being
made in cleaning the hole, and just
as soon as all the clay is washed
and drilled out, drilling the hole deep-
er will be commenced.

Big Fish Caught Trying to Dine on
Fifty Poiinder.
A big fish story was circulating
among -the boys along the river , fi;bnt
this morning. Fisherman Albert Har-
ris came upon quité a commotion this
"big eddy," Two big cat fish seemed
to be engaged in mortal combat, and
were so deeply engrossed in the en-
gagement of 'the moment that they
were not disturbed by the fisherman
until a line was secured around the
minor cat fish, when the major-cat
fish bethought him tp escape. It was
not so much of a fight, the fishermen
say, as an effort of the big fish to
swallow the lesser one. The lesser
one weighed just fifty pounds, 32
pounds dressed, and was purchased
by the Riverside Fish cOmpahy and
this aftérnoon made part of a ship-
ment to the interior.
Rheumatism.
More than nine put of every ten
cases of rheumatism ar esimply rheu-
matism of'the muscles, due to cold
or damp, or fehronic rheumatism. In
such cases, no internal treatment is re-
quired. The free application Of Cham-
berlain's Liniment is all that is need-
ed, and it is certain to give quick re-
lief.. Give it,a trial and see. for your-
self how qnickly it relieves the pain
and soreness, The medicines usually
gken internally for rheumatism are
poisonou? or very strong medicines.
They ^re worse than useless in cases
of chronic and muscylar rheumatism;
