tinues unabated and recent developments have almost established without a doubt that gas and oil is here in paying quantities. The gas wells are much stronger than the operators expected to find and that the supply is sufficent to give Casey light and heat, and an abundance to operate factories with is no longer a doubt. The Westfield Reveiw has the following to say in regard to the situstion. The oil and gas outlook in the field south of this city is still said to be as flattering as ever by members of the Hobitzel company, who are putting down the wells. Pumping salt water has been discontinued and part of the casing has been taken out of the new well on the Young farm and it is said that oil and water is flowing from the well.
It is thought by some that this well will be shot for oil in a short time altho it is not definitely known what the company will do in this matter. Three of the Hoblitzeila were in the field this week and stated that the prospect was as good now as at any time since they commenced operations and that they never worked in an oil and gas field where the indications were better for good, paying wells. They express themselves as being confident that they will have abundance of gas to supply Westfield, Casey and Martinsville this winter. Several new operators have been nere this week and the striking of the well on the Dauthetee farm north east of town promises to be a genuine gusher It is said to be at least a 30. barrel well.
Already some inquire has been made for favtory locations and the outlook for the future of Casey is exceedingly bright. Board of Review is Finding Money.

The largest single amount added to the books so for is $2,000 which was turned in by Ella Burton, of Mound.
Calls have been sent out to persons in Mound, Douglas, Moccasin, Jackson, Union, Teutopolis, Summit Lucas, West and Banner townships but not one tenth of them have appeared so far. In Douglas township there were about forty persons missed and the new assessments in Douglas by the board so far amount to $900. Mr. Daniels, of Chicago was in the city Thursday representing the Postal Telegraph Company. In behalf of the company he objected to the that was made in their assessment in this county, particularly been in Mound, The company has replacing many of its poles in this section lately and also keeping a larger amount of supplies at the local offices, all of which were put on the books by the assessors.
However the company claims that inasmuch as the new poles are to replace the old ones their assessment in that regard should not be The board will probably compromise the -Efingham Record.
