Jonas Erect, of Keystone, was in the
city yesterday and reports that they
have struck oil, coal and gas near Key
stone. They were prospecting for coal,
and when the drill was at a depth of
about 500 feet they struck oil, but not
in sufficient quantity to cause it to
flow to the surface, and a few more feet
of boring caused the black chips of a
coal vein to be brought to the eager
eyes of the proSpectOrS, at the same
time the air became impregnated with
gas and on applying a match at the
opening it blaZed with unusual bril-
liancy. There is a scheme on foot to
run pipe to Abilene and other towns
to light them.

We would recommend that our teach7
erS make it point to be at the meeting
Of the State Teachers Association
which convenes at Topeka on Monday,
the 2Sth and remains in session four
days. The teacher who goes with the
purpose of being benefited will make a
prOfitible Investment. The inspiration
consequent upon coming in contact
with some of the greatest school men
and women of the age, will certainly
more than repay all the attendant ex-
pence.

entered Sesario's room, on the ground
floor Of the hotel, and ordered him to
surrender. Instead Of complying the
ex-President drew his revolver and
fired. He then blew out the light and
escaped from the room. The officers
and guard fired at him, but none Of
the bullets struck the object Of their
aim. One, however, struck Sesario's
wife, inflicting slight wound. Sesario
rushed upstairs, and, blowing out the
only light burning in the hall, managed
to elude his pursuers, who had followed
him to the upper floor. Mr.. Platt, who
was lying in hammOck in his room,
got up to ascertain the cause of the
great noise in the house. AS he opened
his door and stepped out into the
hall the guard saw him, and in the
darkness presumably mistook him for
Sesario. Nine muskets were instantly
raised and tired at the unfortunate man
at distance of only twenty feet. Five
balls struck Plat, two Of them passing
through his body and lodging in the
wall, and another striking him in the
throat and breaking the spinal column.
He fell dead Immediately.
The killing caused considerable COM
motion in the American colony here,
in which the dead man was well liked.
The Americans and many Dominican
citizens turned out to pay last tribute
to the deceased. Platt's wife and child
had left this city for New York on the
steamer G. W. Clyde, and he had ex-
pected to follow them by the next
steamer,

A MODEL HOUSEHOLD.
The Empress OF Russia and the Good Work
She Does.
Youths Companion.l

youths Companion.l
Alexandria III. Of Russia not only
succeeded to the power, but also to the
dangers and horrors Of his assassinated
fathers throne. Thoughtless critics.
themselves a safe distance from any
danger, reproach the Car with want
Of pluck; they taunt him with cow
ardly hiding from bis occult enemies,
instead Of openly braving them. These
people hardly realize what it is to be,
day after day, for weeks and months
and years, surrounded by mysterious
threats.
But there is good deal Of exaggera-
ton in the reports Of the gloom resting
over the household at Gatschina Palace,
and Of the seclusion in which the Car
and his family are living. The truth
is that they bear up wonderfully against
the depressing influences surrounding
them, and this is to large extent due
to the dauntless spirit and high courage
Of the Empress. Even those who find
fault with everything else willingly de-
clare that she is the heroine at the
palace.
Their eldest son. Grand Duke NicO.
laus, now the heir-apparent to the
throne. is said to be most like his mo-
ther, bright and lively, very fond Of all
kinds Of sport. George, the second, Is
the image of his father, and the same is
said Of Michael. The only daughter,
Grand Duchess Xenia, promises to be-
come quite beauty, and. when on the
regular summer visit in Copenhagen, is
the rival Of her cousins Of Great Bri-
tain, Greece, and Denmark.
The domestic life Of the Emperor
and the Empress is as happy as it can
be, and stands as a model to their mil
lions of subjects. While the time and
the energy of the Car is taken entirely
up by the many and difficult cares of
Government, heavier perhaps in Russia
than in any other country, and fraught
with immense responsibility, the En-
press deyotes herself principally to the
numerous benefcent societies and chari-
ties of which she has inherited the pa
tronage from the late Empress.
She brings to bear on this business
her quickness of conception, energy OF
decision, and great kindness Of heart.
Surrounded by horrors and beset by
dangers, still the imperial household OF
Russia presents rare spectacle Of high
souled sense Of duty and Of sincere
matrimonial love.
