Russian Petroleum,

The Russian producers of kerosene
oil are making rapid inroads into
the trade of American producers.
The use of kerosene oil previously
used, which gave a smoky and dull
light when compared with this min
cral fluid, and until the year 1856
the American oil producers, or, more
properly, the Standard oil company,
had entire control of the Indian
trade. In 1856 over29 ,OUO, 900 gal.
Ions of kerosene oil were imported
into India from the United States,
and that year Russian oil came in
for the first time to the amount of
! 1900, 900 gallons. But during eight
months OF the fiscal year 1SSS-S0
the importations from the United
States amounted to only about H.
OOO,O gallons, while those from
Russia figured up to more than H., :
600 900 gallons. 1t is quite inlagin-
able that equal triumphs may be won
i'll China, Japan, South America,
Australia and South Africa, places
in which American oil has hitherto
had all undisputed supremacy.

Evils Of Public Drinking Fountains,

l am opposed to the erection ofany
more public drinking fountains, on
the ground that they propagate dis
eases among horses. 1t may not be
generally known, but it is IL fact,
nevertheless, that at least 1.5OO
cases of glanders, which recently ex-
listed in this city, can lie traced direct
~ to public drinking fountains. The
disease was introduced into the citv
not long since by some Illinois horses.
These horses We're watered at a GER
tain drinking fountain, which was
frequented by hundreds of horses
every day. The result was that the
disease was scattered broadcast over
the city, and it now exists in alarm
ing proportions.-St. Louis Globe.

History Of the State Normal School
Of Kansas 1t Is a neat and well
bound volume Of about 10 pages, anil
Is faithful record of the progress OF

Of century. The book contains por-
traits of ali the presidents, with brief

ent board Of regents. It is the work
Of the president, assisted by different
members Of Thefaculty. The General
Sketch, y which includes a cursory re-
view Of the history of the Normal from
its infancy. was prepared. we under

..Some "Reminiscences - In fact every
important feature Of the Institution
during its life of twenty-five years, il
set forth in this volume with unusual
clearness and elegance. AS q faithful

TANNERS fate was that of number
less others, he could not stand pros
perity. His army record is good. He
had both feet shot away in the fall of
1862. That fact made the way clear
for him to political preferment. When
made pension commissioner he was
told by the president to be Liberal to
the old soldiers, but to keep within
the law" He was liberal, and to be
more so, reinterpreted the law, and be-
sides rerating, where even it was not
asked for, proposed to pension the dis
honOrably discharged, and make the
affidavit of a single private serve where
two have hitherto been required.
When criticised for such unusual
stretches of authority, he dashed his
critics i'm the most merciless fashion
with his tongue, which works on Q
pivot. He even took the road, and on
stump after stump castigated his enc
mics and critics both in and out of the
party. Such indiscretions had their
inevitable result. The man whose in
tentions may have been ever so good,
| literally talked himself to death.

THE death of S. S. Cox means much
more than the loss of congressman to
New York. It means the loss of fine
scholar and bright humorist to the
whole country. Mr.. Cox was one Of
the few men in the public life of this
country, who had in him, and in all he
said and did, that lone touch of nature
which makes the whole world kin.'
He treated no subject which he did not
adorn with polished wit devoid of
malice, and he had the faculty, above
all other political speakers and writers,
of investing the dullest topics with a
novelty and a charm in which the dull
ness entirely disappeared. The death
of such a man may we'll be regarded as
a public calamity, especially IN view of
the fact that his unique place in the
politics of the country is not likely te
be filed very soon. We shall, we fear,
have to wait a long time for the advent
of another ''Sunset" Cox. Globe

mr.. and MRS. Peters Cond.slon.

Ed. Peters and wife returned home
from Chicago Saturday evening and
to him we are indebted for a full ex-
PLANTATION of the circumstances and ex-
tent OF the injuries of Mr.. and Mrs.
Peters. When Mrs. Peters was taken
from the wreck it was then ascertained
that her upper jaw was broken in i've
places, the palate being torn complete
~ out of the mouth and the nose brok-
en- Immediately between the eyes.
The upper part of the chest, also the
neck was severely injured and Ed. says
when he arrived at his mothers bed
side and the bandages were removed,
scarcely any resemblance of a
human head, could be discerned. Two
of Chicago's leading surgeons were inn
mediately sent for who arrived in a
short time after the telegram was sent
to them. In the meanwhile a promi-
nent surgeon dentist of Streator, had
lifted the part of the face, which had
been crushed into its proper position,
and by means of small wires dashed
the jaw, and teeth together. Had this
not been done Mrs. Peters would have
passed away before the arrival of her
son from this city. The physicians of
Chicago where Mr.. and Mrs.
Peters were removed Saturday to the
home of their daughter, told Ed.
Thursday that his mother would recov-
er, hence his return home. Mr.. Peters
sustained themost serious injuries in his
leg, the bones of which were shattered
necessitating the removal of number
of the broken pieces. Mrs.
Peters can not speak above a:wbisper,
yet everything is favorable to her COM
plete recovery, fact which will be
hailed with delight by the many
friends in this city who are none the
less pleased to learn of Mr.. Peters
good fortune, in escaping. Mr.. Peters
it seems was bruised somewhat.

THE congressional bee is making de-
licious music in John L. Sullivan's
bonnet these pleasant fall days.
Thoughts of the prize ring have left
their places vacant in his brain
and in their stead come
thrOnging bold and forensic
desires, all telling him how gay is
the life of a congressman. He talks
politics and expresses some very clear
views concerning our foreign and do
nestle policy. He would send navy
to protect our Alaskan seal fisheries.
He would protect the negro in the
south, and abolish the code duelio.
At the same time he would establish
on the Mexican frontier a free zone"
for prize fighters. There is no doubt
now that if John L. succeeds in break
ing into congress he will impress that
body with the originality and force of
his convictions.

THERE is considerable comment on
the testimony before the senate beer
investigating committee. Ali that
need be said about it is, that the cat
tie shippers say they are robbed by the
packers, and the packers say-so far
as they condescendedt to say anything
that instead of pluclIing or squeezing
anyone, they are not making over one
per cent on dressed beef. In other
words. they are straining themselves
to the verge of ruin in order to pay the
stock raisers anything at all for their
cattle. If this is true, the farmers
and stock raisers ought to make up a
purse and purchase an elegant testi-
monial to be presented to the big
Four" as a mark of their esteem and
regard.
