Oil Renion Csettinu It's Second Wind

PITTSBURGH, Pa, April 2h-A gusher
oil well was struck near Legronville, on
the Ft Wayne road, nineteen miles from
this city, this morning. When the sand
was tapped, the oil spurted 115 feet in the
air, and it is now flowing about 700 bar
rels a day. No provision was made to
save the oil, and it is estimated that 1000
barrels will be wasted before arrange
ments are completed TO tank it. The we'll
is the first gusher ever struck in that vi
cinity, and the inhabitants of the coun-
try are wild with excitement Leases
can not now be bought for any price,
and land has doubled in value during the
day.

litigation which will be fruitful to land

litigation which will be fruitful to land
sharks and claim attorneys.
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fo rail-
road began running its sectional trains out
of Kansas City Sunday night and picking
up cars at almost every section along the
route Hundreds of people were waiting
at every depot, and IL the cars-all Of
which were filed before the border
line was roached-could have been
coupled they would have made n train
miles in length. The crowds were COM
posed of spectators, adventurers, sight
seers, thieves, gamblers and sprinklb,g
of the demi-monde. The farming
element was not largely represented, as
all Of the homesteaders had gone
on before, There were men in
the cars from every great city and
important point in the country, and there
was not State or Territory in the country
which did not have its representatives.
They filed all the seats, occupied all the
standing room in the aisles, and filed up
the spaces between the coaches
The crowd began gathering on the plat
form two hours before daylight, and long
before the first faint streak of dawn of the
fateful day the city was awake and
stirring. The streets presented a lively,
picturesque appearance. After the sun
rose crowds were rushing toward the
center of action from all parts of
the city. Hotels emptied their hundreds
into the Streets the cot-houses contributed
hundreds, and more came from the hospita-
bic homes of the city, nearly all of which
have entertained guests during the last
week.
Hundreds of boomers and rustlers in their
impatience to get aboard rushed down to
the yards and attempted to force an
entrance into the cars, all of which
were securely locked. The excitement
may be judged from the fact that
a large number of coach windows
were broken out by people who were
anxious to secure seats. strong guard
of railroad men was detailed to protect the
company's property, and they had con-
tract of unusual dimensions on their hands

gentlemen in the House voted against the
retroactive clause, which provided for the
surrender Of fugitives guilty of offenses

A GOOD MANY CHURCHES ARE BEING
struck by lightning nowadays and yet it does
not seem to occur to any of the ministers
to deduce moral from The fact. Perhaps
there is none.-Jersey City Argus.
And, then, again it may be a slight
warning to those church members who use
the cloak of religion to help them along in
a business, social or political way, while
they skin their neighbors six days in a
week and lie like sin about 'em on the
Sabbath. Oh! yes, there may be something
more in the wav of those tightening flash
es on church spires than appears at first
glance.-DoYer Inder.

how is Is with the excresence on the face of

majesty?

NEXT YEAR, DURING THE MONTH OF
June, the eleventh census of the United
States will be taken. The most important
feature in census is its correct statement
of facts. This can be done more nearly and
more easily if every manufacturer and farm
er at once begins to prepare himself to an
swer the questions that will be asked of
him one year hence. An exchange says:
Especially does this advice apply to farm
ers. Not one in ten keeps books in which
the amount and value of his crops is ac-
curatelY set down. This is the time to be-
gin this work. The crop year has begun.
Let every farmer keep an accurate register
of his agricultural operations during the
next twelve months-the acreage of his
various crops; the product of each; the
amount Of butter, eggs, poultry, live stock,
and other farm products sold. This will
greatly simplify the work of the census
takers and give us an accurate census, and
it will be far more satisfactory to all con-
cerned. The superintendent of the census,
Robert P. Porter, has issued circular in
which he argues these facts upon the farm
ers of the United States.

1T SHOULD BE BUILT HERE

We also report that we find that the
present Court House is unfit for the busi-
ness of the County. 1t is incommodious,
poorly ventilated, unhealthy, and so ar
ranged that public business is constantly
interfered with and sometimes entirely
stopped by noises on the street. We there
fore recommend the construction of new
Court House. Our own experience during
the heated term of this session of court has
led us 10 the consideration of this subject
and consider it our duty to the people of
tAis county to make this recommendation.
The above is from the final report OF the
Grand Jury. There is not citizen of Car
bon who has eyer served as juror or in any
manner transacted business in our court
who will not agree that the above is most
sensible deliverance. We can not think of
any possible objection to following the
above recommendation by resolutions from
the members of the bar, court officers, pri-
yate citizens. and agitation public and pri-
vate in its favor. Let us have new Court
House.--M. c. Gazette.
