The amount of oleomargarine sold in
Boston last year was 5 APO 200 pounds.
Salt water is reported to be invading
the oil and gas wells of Northwestern
Ohio and making great deal of trouble.
The heaviest leather belt ever put in
an establishment is sixty inches wide and
40 feet long and weighs 1000 pounds. 1t
will drive 1000 horse power machinery.
Gen. Lew Wallace says that he has seen
a thousand men receive wounds, and he
never knew one to swear when struck. 1t
is like falling off a wharf. The swear
comes after the shock Of surprise.
Fifty women marched to an unlicensed
saloon at Prosser, Neb. and completely
demolished it. The attack was made
when the building was crowded, but q
fierce discharge of Jumps of coal routed
the inmates.
South Carolina always hangs a muir
derer IN public, and she defies any one to
find spectator of any hanging who has
subsequently taken human life. She
claims that every execution makes pro-
found impression of the vengeance of the
law.
A bill making it penal offense for
any person to treat another to intoXiea-
ting liquors has been introduced in the
lower house of the Pennsylvania legisla-
ture. F'Treating" is a bad practice, but
it is not probable that any law would be
very effective against it.
A newspaper man has been turning
over the files of ''The Picking Gazette. -
He finds that it has been published con-
tinuously for 500 years. There is doubt
less an impression gaining ground in
the Chinese empire to the efiecG that
"The Gazette has come to stay.
What can be taught a horse can be
taught a child. The st. Louis teachers
have trained their pupils in a fire-alarm
march, and recently they had occasion to
use it in building crowded with nun
dreds of children. When the bells
sounded the children marched out of the
building likeH soldiers. While firemen
rushed mp one stairway the youngsters
went down the other. A similar precau-
ton has been taken for years in hundreds
of schools in this country but it has
never before been put to such an excel
lent test.
Judge Field of Kansas City, Mo. has
refused to allow the saloon keepers there
to incorporate themselves. The applica-
ton was made under the statutes grant
ing corporate privileges for benevolent,
scientific, religious or educational pur-
poses. The petitioners for incorporation
asked it on the ground that their object
was the benevolent one of promoting in
dustry, morality and charity by providing
for the comfort of distressed members.
the court held that it was no sufficient
ground for incorporation, as it was not
shown that the distress to be relieved by
the proposed corporation was such as the
state desired to have relieved by corpora
ton It might result from offenses against
the law, and the object of the association
might be political. The vagueness of
the petition was of itself ground enough
for refusing to grant it.

BROKEN ToYs.

AS I sit tonight in the freight,
And dream of the long ago,
My thoughts fly back TO boyhood,
And set my soul aglow,
OH dreams that long have vanished,
Oh! vain and heeting joys,
Where are the hopes that cherished?
Where are my broken toys?
NY broken toys-ah! heaven,
Sadly my heart recalls,
The dreams that once were dearest,
And over my soul there falls
A shadow, like mist at evening,
That drops without sound or noise,
And shuts me out forever
From dreams of my broken toys.
Yet dream as sit in the freight,
OF one who was bright and fair,
With rosy lips and sweet gray eyes,
And wavy thrown hair;
But sit alone in the cleaning,
For the angels share her Joys,
And there's naught but the memory left Int
OF my love and my broken toys!
Perhaps in the far-off future,
When the weary years are DONE,
And the grave has closed above me
Meath some fair eternal sun,
I shall see, and know the reason
Why 1 missed earth s sweetest Joys,
And the plying God in heaven
Shall mend my broken toys!

Samoa.
Greensburg pa Argus.


The voluntary admission of Count Won
Bismarck that Germany had gone too far
and his ambiguous engagement to return
to the statu quo, fully vindieates the
patriotism uttered in the senate of the
United States; but is a sad comment on
the fiippant utterances of certain journals
which had to be informed by the chief
executive officer of Germany that his
country had been tTampling
on American rights in Samoa.
The Importance of Samoa, as
commercial station, is d matter of but
little moment. The United States have
equal rights there with Germany and
England, and it cannot be tolerated that
she shall be iuggled out of them, or that
the innocent people who occupy the
islands, while imploring the protection.
of the American flag, shall be given up
to butchery for the offense Of insisting on
the autonomy guaranteed to them by
these triple powers. GLANDS off
should be insisted on as the only
peaceable solution of the imbroglio.
The country does not desire
either vengeance or war for past wrongs
now openly confessed, but 1t does insist
that there shall be no butchery OF the
natives because they have sought to
maintain self-government and fought in
defense of it The last days OF the reign

whether it was wise or unwise to consent

AToKA, I. T., Feb. 11.-United States
Agent Robert L. Owen secured the au-
thority from the Choctaw council to pay
the net proceeds money to the claimants.
He was required to give very heavy
bond to secure the faithful performance
of the duties of paymaster. The amount
is over 81 900 900. 1t is a sweet plum.
The leading men in the territory re-
gard the passage of the Oklahoma bill by
congress as the beginning of the end of
this territory as an Indian reservation.
The action of the Greeks in selling their
claims upon the Oklahoma country is re-
grrded as very hurtful TO Indian inter-
ests. Yet it Is the opinion of this corre-
spondent that it will be followed by each

Buckner who has been prominently men
toned as a candidate for the senate to

under no circumstances will he make the

would be using his present position to in
fluence the Legislature in its choice. He
Will not lower the dignity of his Office by
such proceeding as he thinks being gov
ernor and a candidate for the senate are
incompatible. The governors great
popularity would have made him strong
candidate.

pany which drilled the well, picking up his tools
preparatory to going west. In reply 70 questions
about the well Capt. Emerson said that when the
last vein of water had been reached it gushed up
from the well twelve or fifteen feet, which was
caused by the natural gas in the well. The
water was now within thirty five feet of the top.
The well is twelve inches in diameter from top to
bottom, the largest well in the state of Texas.
large pump was used in testing the supply of
water and was kept pumping for four days and
nights. Mr.. Oil, for the Texas and Pacific COM
pany, made official report about the supply of
water, and the railroad company at once &C
copied the well. Capt. Emerson says the lowest
estimate put on the daily supply is $4,000 gal
Ions, while he feels that 200 900 gallons daily
can be pumped from this well.
