THERE appears to be bad state of
affairs in Cuba. The Administration
is said to be reeking with corruption,
and every public Office is honey-combed
with fraud. The tax collector is short
$4,000 and the board of aldermen of
Havana have gobbled up SAC, 900 of the
city's funds. In short, the Cubans
seem to be having taste of what we
would call Democratic rule in this
country

Accompany Formed and Land Leased
for the Purpose Of Development.
An Analysis of the Oil Found Made
by Our Or. Gardiner,
Who Declares it the Genuine Article
Used for Illuminating Purposes.
Some of it Used in Lamps in the
Neighboring Cityof Olps.
Coal Mini G Also to Become a Fsa-
ture of Emporia's Future

ers in the vicinity of the Verdigris,
about fifteen miles southwest of the
city, have been making Investigations
to ascertain if the coal and oil which is
known to exist under the surface in
that locality, could be found in paying
quantities. The prospecting has been
more than satisfactory, and company
from Olpe and vicinity has been
formed to lease land and continue the
search.
THE OIL, FIND.
A quantity of oily water from a
small stream in that locality was
brought to this city lately and analysed
by DIR. Gardiner. He found it to con-
tain oil in the proportion Of one barrel
to sixty-five of water.
John Atyeo of this city owns large
farm in that neighborhood and he in
formed NEWS representative Friday
morning that some Of the oil found in
the wells bored, had been tested in
Olpe and found to burn as good as any
oil on the market.
THE COAL FIND.
In the same locality and by the same
parties a search for coal was insti-
tuted, and this has proven even more
encouraging than the oil find. The
last report states that four-foot vein
of coal Of an excellent quality had been
struck at depth of only ninety feet.
A further search for coal will be made
in connection with the boring for oil.
The tract lies near the southwest
corner of the county and is one of the
most fertile regions of this vicinity.
Oil or coal or both in paying quantities
will prove great benefit to the city
and county.
Messers Bitter, Furnace, Perrin and
others who are the leading men in the
move at Olpe are well-to-do farmers in
the southwest part of the county and
they will no doubt push the matter for
ward rapidly.
We were informed Friday morning
that John Weaver, backed by COM
pany of men, of this city, has leased
several farms, among them Messrc
Van CleaVe's ard VIM. Grafen-
STEMS. The leases we're for
twenty-five years, and as much longer
as the product can be found in paying
quantities, and gives the owners a pei
cent of the coal or oil turned out.
LATER.
In a conversation with several gen
tlemen from that locality Friday
it was learned that a coal shaft
pany on the farm of John Furnace and
the search for oil will be continued
They express themselves as satisfied
beyond a doubt that within the mex
few weeks both coal and oil will be put
on the market from their land in pay
inc quantities.

The Matter OF Names and Titles.

The latest fad is for the woman to re-
tain her family name after marriage in
stead Of taking tEat Of her husband.
Every woman has a perfect right to do
this If she wants to, because there is no
law compelling her to adopt that of the
man she marries. The style has been
started anew by some of the stronger
minded English women. This alone is
sufficient to make it the proper thing for
Anglo-Americans. In England, however,
1t is necessary for the woman to advertise
the fact that she is going to retain her
maiden name. In this country a man
may take his wife's name instead Of her
taking his, but it would probably be bet
ter to have the change legalized by a
court or legislature in order to prevent
any trouble in relation to property or in
heritances.
Wouldn't it be better to call men and
women by their proper names' The
Quakers do so, and there is nothing often
sive nor suggestive of undue familiarity
about it. They do so from principle
rather than to be odd. They say: "Call
no man master" Mister is but another
term for master, and was originally used
by common people when addressing their
superiors, or those whom they served.
As a people we are opposed to titles sug-
gestive of social rank. Our term MRS. "
is merely form Of the English term mis-
tress, which was and is now an undesir-
able title when used in certain connec
tions. Usage has changed this somewhat,
yet 1t Is an unnecessary prefix to the
name Of lady.-Pittsburg Commercial

A Once Noted Cava,rvman.

A small man, with gray mustache, a
SLOUGH hat over his blue eyes, and walk
no longer as clipper as it once was, is
recognized by few people here when he
makes his occasional visits from Wash
ington. He is Gen. Pleasonton, whom
many think one of the greatest cavalry
commanders Of the war, and who un-
doubtedly fought and won, perhaps, the
greatest cavalry engagement of the con-
test between the states. 1t was at Brandy
Station, where eighty regiments of horse
men commended on one field with no in
fantry or artillery nearer than ten miles
away. Sometimes the battle flags of the
contending generals were not further sep
arated than the two sides of Broadway.
Pleasonton, Fitzpatrick and Custer were
in single group. Detecting crucial
point in the opposing line, Pleasonton
cried: "Custer, go right in therer' Gus
ter's mounted band at once struck up
'Ths Star Spangled Banner" and in ten
minutes he had carried the position. Gus
ter and Fitzpatrick are dead. Pleasonton,
barely 30 years of age, seems to be out Of
gear with the world.-Cor. New York

Mexicans and the Railroad.

Mexicans take more kindly to railroads
than is generally supposed in the states.
The stage coach will 60 out of business as
soon as the trains reach Guadalajara. As
much as the people cling to ancient Gus
toms they never ride in stage when the
cars will carry them to the same destina-
ton. 1t is funny, however, to see them
getting used to the new mode of travel.
The whole family will come down tc the
depot to see member off on ten miles
journey. Two or three rounds of kissing
take place, accompanied by steady Sob
bling. Choking adioses are shouted and
handkerchiefs are waved until the tram
is out of sight.
Mexicans not only learn to ride in the
cars, but they take to railroad work with
great zeal and aptitude Mexican brake
men and fremen are now employed on all
the reads. Mexican clerks and book
keepers fill most of the subordinate posi-
lions in general offices. Many of the tele-
graph offices are manned by Mexican
operators. The natives will fill these po-
sitions for half what Americans demand,
and, of course, they get them. About the
only complaint which the railroad man
ayers find with the native help is that it
is sometimes oversmart. Mexico Cor

Federal Court,

Judge Boaman has no flies on him.
He opened court early on Monday morn
ing, which is quite an innovation Of
old methods Of losing all Of Monday In
coming over from Austin. After Wash
Poteot was acquitted Of the charge Of
smuggling, and F. Sanchez and F. Bar
oena had been convicted of smuggling,
the court took up the conspiracy cases
with which the mayor Of San Antonio
and several other citizens stand charged
"a having entered iE to defeat the pro-
hibitionists at the lset campaign. The
mayors trial Is now in progress and as
a cloud Of witnesses have been sum-
moned on both sides, the trial will last
several days. AS It Is an index to the
other conspiracy charges, what is done
with this case will likely be done with
all.

THE CHALLENGE.

Iheard today upon the street,
Where beggars sang careless song,
A note, a tone, so wondrous sweet
That stood silent in the throng.
But, ali, ! saw not those who sang;
heard not their wild madrigal;
A thousand voices round me rang,
And sweeter still, one maiden's call,
For which I'd change the fame Of men.
My load Embossed like Pilgrims thrall;
fed my hungry heart again;
saw my boyhood home and all
And heard the backbirds, nesting, sing
Their tender songs Of EVENING"
Clear, martial call Of buried hostsl
How sure thy challenge passed the years!
saw like sentries at their posts
A myriad forms: the pines like spears
Shot through the after-sunset's red;
The darkening fields; the CLEAN Of panes;
The murky dusk, star-panoplied;
The lazy kline along the lanes;
The school house dun; the village spire;
The home-bent, dusty harvest folks;
The cornfields famed with sunset fire;
And in our tryst beneath the oaks,
We heard the blackbrds, nesting, sing
Their tender songs Of evening!
Thus, Angel of our later days,
With ever-hoyering, unseen hand
Are flashed upon our blinded ways,
The hidden shrines we understand.
We climb the rugged sleeps of Truth,
And falter. Lol thy helpings bring
The lesser to the larger Youth
A note, tone the humblest thing,
Sweeps irresistless all between,
And there the Now prays with the Then
Where once our heaven was lived unseen,
And where, like pilgrims come again,
We hear the blaCkbirds nesting sing

they are now shouldered on some

in the hearing Of the writer" The
virus remains, but it is distilled
through anonymity.
Every thinking man will agree
with this writer in saying that the
Statesman is worse foe to the re-

than John p. Irish or any other
democratic champion. With the
election at hand the one object Of
political advocacy is to gain votes.
The average citizen will 90 to the

Indignation there is large contin-

by the slightest impulse. They are
unsuited in some way by existing
parties; they are indifferent about
voting, and a word will turn them.
1t requires extreme delicacy in deal

body infuse caution into his tongue
and pen? He has already done
enough todefeat the county

be allowed to add to his pernicious
work. We shall need votes on Mon
day, and most likely want them
very badly, then our republican
