Effect of the New Tax Bill on Oil Securities.

TIrUsvILLE, Pa, May 20--If the tax bill
passes in its present shape at Harrisburg. the
United Pipe Line Company will be forced to
surrender its charter and do business us a
partnership or limited partnership associa-
ton. This change will not necessarily re-
duce the value or injure the security of oil
certificates, but the trade would undoubtedly
look on it in different light, and it would
probably cause a graat destruction of value
of oil certificates until confidence was re-
stored. Panics are easily created where val
ies are to some extent speculative, or where
securities are used in speculation, and it is
believed that nothing could avoid panic f
a change of this kind is forced upon the
Union Pipe Lines. Hence the intense feeling
and unanimity in the oil region against the
measure which finds no dissenting voice.

Kelsey County Enterprise

Every once in a while we have to
chronicle the death by freezing of one
of the residents of this county, which
is extensively copied into papers all
through the country and giving the
people of other states an idea that this
is an uninhabitable country ia the win
ter season, and thereby dicourage the
settlers from coming here to make a
home for themselves, wives and child
rem, when in almost every instance it
can be shown that il due precautions
were taken life would seldom, if ever,
be lost. In the town of Davis, this
county, a case of this character occur
red to very worthy man who neg
lected two precautions, first, 70 take
his over coat. second, to start early
enough to return to his home before
night. His name was Neal, he started
out in the morning to get a load of
wood from the timber some miles dis
tant with two yoke of oxen, He took
great pains to get good load of dry
wood and when he started home it
must have been late in the afternoon.
When night came, which it does here
at shutdown, a terrible storm was blow
ing and the snow drifting so that moth
ing was observable at distance of 100
feet and Of course ne strayed from the
direction of his home and wandered
around in circle. Then giving up the
mp the idea OF reaching home with his
load he unyoked his cattle and pro.
ceeded to drive them in the direction
ne thought was home but finding he
was not making any progress he turned
hem loose and endeavored to save him
self but coming to brush patch and
knowing by that, he was five miles
from home, he sank exhausted on his
knees as if in prayer, in which position
be was found on the following day by
his neighbors who turned out to look
for MIN. The cattle were found in a
haystack unhurt. He leaves a wife
and five little children. A purse was
made up for them by the generous
neighbors of about fifty dollars which
with what other help they will receive
will carry them through the winter.

A Montana Lover.

Chicago News: A tall, broad.shoul-
dered, gray bearded miner from Mon
tsns, while viewing the sights about
town, strolled into one of the variety
theatres on State street the other even
ing and took a seat near the stage. Dur
ing the performance he became deep
" interested in one of a group of scsu-
tily alfred females who we're disport-
ing themselves on the stage. The dark
eyes and voluptuous form Of the siren
completely captured the heart of the
rugged miner, and he lost no time in
gaining an introduction to the fair en-
SLAYER. After feasting mis- eyes on her
manifold charms, he made an en-
gasemei.I TO meet her at rehearsal
next day. The miner was punctual in
keeping his appointment and waited
patiently until the artistic had finished
her rehearsal. He then brusquely IN
vited her to take walk and she moth
ing 10th, consented. This promenade
was probably the most profitable one
in which the variety actress ever en-
gagged, for her companion Led her into
dry goods store and without much
ceremony began purchasing such artl-
cles as he seemed to think she need
ed. Fine hosiery ard underwear, 81
richly trimmed cloak, and a handsome
lace collar were among the purchases
which the man from Montana made for
the object of his affections.
On the following day another wa TX
along the leading thoroughfare was
taken by the pair. The snow was fall
ling and the generous miner took his
companion to a store and bought her n
gossamer cloak and a pair of rubbers.
As they left the place be requested the
woman to accompany him to the de-
pot. Arriving there the miner bestow-
ed fond lCok upon her and said, with
"a pathetic smile

want to; it makes no difference in my
feelings for you if you don't. | shant
think hard of you if you don't Now,
what do you say, yes or no?'
The favorite Of the footlights turned
her head and hurriedly reviewed the
situation. The thought of forsaking
the glare and glitter of the stage and
applause and attentions of the habitues
of the theater was too much for her,
and she fiutteringly replied
II don't think will accept your of
fer"
"All right; good .byel' exclaimed
the miner as he hurried into the train,
and thus they parted.
On arriving at the theater that even
ing the actress was informed that
package had been left for her. 1t was
found to contain "a love of hat"
which she had admired when out
walking with the miner, and a hand
some morocco pocketbook well filled
with gold pieces and bank notes. One
of her fellow artistes, to whom she dis
played her gifts, exclaimed: "Weli,
you were big 'chump' to allow that
old sucker to get away without work
ing him for all he was worth"
The girl looked as though she was
half inclined to think so herself, as she
entered her dressing room to make up
for the performance, and will probably
not soon forget the rugged miner from
Montana.
