The opinion is daily growing more
decided among those who are we'll in
formed that the gasses which are con.
stantly escaping from innumerable
wells throughout the oil region of
Pennsylvania and adjacent States rep
resent value but little il at all infe
riOr to the oil itself The next step
after the realization of the fact is its
utilization, and, from occasional para.
graphs that from time to slime appear,
there is reason to believe that the in
dustrial employment of this material,
of which inestimable volumes have
for years been permitted TO pass use
lessly intO the air, will soon become
very general. In few instances the
wells have been tubed, and their pro,
ducts utilized with most satisfactory
results. We add herewith the follow
ing from the National Oil Journal,
which indicates that some progress is
being made in this important field
The Journal remarks that the yield of
the few gas wells that have been tuhed
indicates that the quality of the pro-
duct is enormous beyond computation.
"A gas well ueAE OAEHSSNlALc1 ia GH0 LUZ
Ter oil region, flows with pressure of
800 pounds to the square inch, and is
roughly estimated to yield a million
cubic feet of gas every twenty four
hours and this is only one of many
large gas wells and almost numberless
small ones, for which it must be re
membered that every well which pro-
duces oil yields gas also. A survey
has just been completed for a line of
pipe from Sarnesville to Pittsburg, a
distance Of almost seventeen miles
1t is proposed to lay q six inch pipe
batween the points named, and to sup
ply the gas to the manufacturing es-
adjustments in Pittsburg as substi

OMAHA, Oct. I2.-The election in
the city has passed off in quiet and
orderly manner Much hard work has
been done on both sides. but a deter
mination wide spread among the vo-
ters to have the best men without re-
gard to party has led to much scratch
ing of tickets.

lican State ticket an overwhelming
majority. Cass on the State ticket
goes Republican by good majority.
The county ticket is divided, the Sher-
iff and clerk, Democrats, running
ahead of the ticket. In Clay the Re-

H. T. Helmbold is in the Blooming
dale Insane Asylum. His wife says
that he tried to strangle her at the Ho-
tel Royal in New York City, where
they have lately been living. He be-
came bothersome to the guests, and
other quarters were procured for him,
but the same troubles arose. Mr..
Hembold escaped several times into
the street and acted strangly at the
Filth Avenue Hotel and other, places.
At last he forced his way back to the
Hotel Royal again, and it was resolved
that a medical examination of the un.
fortunate man should be made. Two
physicians pronounced him danger
ously insane.~ and he was at once re-
moved to the asylum. He was at first
so violent that straight racket was
brought into requisition, but he has
since become more quiet and the jack
ct has been removed.

Easter Day.

Easter day, the anniversary of the rcsur-
rection of our Lord, is the great festival of
the year, which Christians in all lands de-
light to celebrate. The event was the
browning act of the great plan of redemp-
ton, without which all of Chrst's labors
and suiferings would have been fruitless.
1t was day of Joy unutterable to the little
band of disciples when the tidings came
that their master, whom they had mourn
ed us dead, had trunphed over the grave.
No wonder that the day and the event
should be especially remembered by be-
levers with emotions of joy and thanks
giving. In the Episcopal and Roman
Catholic churches particular efforts are an
nualy made 10 celebrate Easter or resur-
rection day in an appropriate manner. The
ceremonies are usually impressive, but the
great feature is the music, selected from
the old masters, and including many gems
of later composers.

The Tilton. Beecher T,inl.

NEW YORK, March 81.
A meeting Of the counsel for BeecLer
was held this morning 10 Mr.. Evarts apart
ments at the Mansion House, Brook
Ign. II IL understood that Mr.. Beech
er was present The rumor that Mr..
Beecber Is 10 testify on Monday was
strengthened by the fact that Mr. Evarts
advocated the adjournment until Monday.
1t Is understood that this adjournment was
for the purpose of completing the prepare
ton for Mr.. Beechers introduction to the
witness chair. Joe Howard, of the Star,
however, who is, perhaps, the best in
formed journalist in New York on the
the scandal programme, says In his paper
to-day that Beecher will net be
called until next Thursday. The
friends and COUNSEL of Mr.. Tilton agree in
saying that the most damaging testimony
Of the defence was that elected from the
servants of Mrs. Woodruff yesterday. They
do not acknowledge the crcdibilty of the
witness because they say that part of the
evidence relating to the Woodruff scandal
is false on its face the story of the scan
dial as published by Mrs. Woodruff was
more damaging to Mr.. Tilton than TO Mr..
Beecher. 1t represented Mr. Tilton as a
jealous free-lover, that he courted and
sought the invasion of his home by his
pastor, bnt the plaintiffs counsel are said
to be in a position 10 take the edge off this
testimony in the rebut. Miss Turner is
also provided for, as far as possible every
person with whom SHE has lived will be ex-
amined in regard to her character for YER
aciiy. Mrs. Morse is said to have been
dropped from The list of witnesses for the
defense. A lawyer of prominence in the
suit said this afternoon that the defense
would consume another month, and he
thought the rebutta testimony for the
plaintiff would last nearly as long He de-
termined on the first of July as the earliest
possible date for the close of the trial.

ReOpening OF the Railroad War.

CHICAGO, March 90.
The general freight agents of the Michi-
gan Central, Michigan Southern and Pitts
burgh and Fort Wayne railroads held
meeting in this city yesterday, and reduced
the rates to the east on fourth class and
grain as follows To New York, thirty
cents per 100 pounds to Philadelphia,
twenty-five cents to Boston and New
England points, forty cents. This large
reduction was brought about by the action
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, which
has been making contracts during the last
week at thirty-flve cents to New York. A
general railroad war is predicted, as the
neutral lines declare that on the first of
April they will reduce fares to all points il
there is no change in the situation. 1t is
contemplated to make the fare from this
city to New York $1S, and if necessary
still lower. The fare TO Buffalo IS now
80, ana from that city to New York $9.2j.
The main cause of this reduction is the con-
tinuation of the fight between the Grand
Trunk and Great Western railways of

ANOTHER sPIRiTUAi.IsTIC Ex
POSE.
A Chicago Medium.

Mrs. Parry, Chicago splritualistic me-
dunn of the Eddy brothers sort, has been
thoroughly exposed, and by a woman.
About year ago Mrs. Parry began giving
"materializing" seances at her house, at
which hands and faces were shown at the
aperture of cabinet In the usual way.
Her exhibition attracted so much attention
that they were nightly attended by from
fifty to hundred persons, who paid dol
lar each for admission. Many Intellectual
efforts were made TO learn the method Of
her trickery. The cabinet in which she
sat was detached from the walls of the
room and was elevated on legs, so that sur
reptitious communication was impossible
The room was only partially darkened
Mrs. Parry allowed herself and cabinet to
be searched before the perform
ancc. All these precautions did
not hinder the appearance OF vaii-
Gus faces and arms at the hole in the cab-
net She had Katie King among her
characters, several of whom talked. All
of the Chicago spirtualists believed in her,
and the sceptics were puzzled. One night
Mrs. Cole was on The investigating com
mittee, and was given the privilege OF re-
firing to bedroom with Mrs. Parry and
searching her. Mrs. Cole was thorough
~ practical investigator, and she insisted
on taking every article of clothing off the
medium, who protested on the ground of
modesty. Mrs. Cole was obdurate, threat
ening to declare the show n fraud il there
was not instant compliance Mrs. Parry
reluctantly removed her dress and skirts,
but refused to take of her chemise. Then
Mrs. Cole suddenly seized her by one ankle
as she sat in a chair, and threw her over
on the floor. A snugly packed roll Of
masks fell from where they had been con-
cealed. The exposed medium yelled curses
and fought to regain the bundle, but the
plucky investigator was victorious, and the
profitable humbug was ended.

has been very unhealthy that is, there
never was known so much trouble from

Every generation is growing weaker and
wiser Instead Of keeping their mouths
shut and breathing through their nose, as
man was originally intended to do, you
break natures laws and take great mouth
tulls of cold air down into your lungs,
chill them, and bring on disease. If you
will break natures laws, you must suffer
for IT, Now do not laugh at this. but bly,
