Washington Times:-Quite sensation
was created last Thursday when parties
came into town and reported that oil had
been struck in the Keeler artesian well in
Hand county. Reports are verified by
later statements, but somewhat toned
down. 1t is believed by experienced men
that oil is beneath us, and it is only q
question OF depth. The indications in the
Keller well are considerably stronger
than those found in the Mosher coal shaft.
the hole is down about 425 feet now. and
it wouldn't surprise the people to see a
regular oil gusher struck at about 1000 It.

The conclusion is irresistible, IL a per.
son has not personal property exceeding
in value 5000. he is not obliged to list
personal property.
Here is where the assessors Judgment
comes in play. If person asserts he has
not personal property IN excess of $500,
the assessor must ascertain the truth Of
the assertion, and may place the person
on oath as to the value of each seperate
article he possesses. The assessor may
then assess the person if he believes he
has personal property IN excess of the
exemptions.

A TRIP TO THE YELLOWSTONE
Frank Myers Second Expedition After
Twenty.six Years

IWeHty ssIx IeaTs
As heretofore announce in the PRESS.
Frank Myers. resident OF this place, has
always insisted that he found large coal
deposits on the Yellowstone river when
he accompanied an expedition to that
country in 1864 under command of Gen.
Sully. This spring number Of Miller
citizens formed a company and sent Mr..
Myers and Dick Smith to examine the
Yellowstone country. Mr.. Myers returned
from his trip Tuesday. He reports every
thing exactly the same in the wild country
along the Yellowstone between the North
ern Pacific and the Manitoba roads as it
was 26 years ago, except that the
rivers channel has changed its course
about one mile. He found the old camp
ground, and brought back with him a
tent pin and piece Of cracker box that had
been laying there ever since. He alss
brought back some fine specimens Of car
bon coal, which he found exactly as his
memory pictured for 20 years, in Dawson
county, Montana. and of which there is
a great abundance. What action will be
taken in the matter by the Miller company
is not yet known.

Mr.. Taylor.
Mr.. Green was sought and informed
the reporter that he had been embarrassed
for few days and was unable to send IN
the balance due the government from his
office for April's business (Which should
have been sent in near the first Of May
This sum OF $ls3 was partly the previous
months business. and partly money he
did not have to remit. About $50 was

the office, and reported ION hand" twice

there was about SOS that Mr.. Green did
not have to account for provided he re-
mained postmaster) until July 1st. The
balance Of this $1S3 he had on hand and
paid over on demand. The sos was very
quickly raised for him by his friends,
and his Indebtedness balanced up in full
Mr.. Green says he cares nothing for the
office-in fact would have been better off
had he never been postmaster, but thinks
his bondsmen should have given him a
little chance and time to make satisfac-
tory arrangements with the government
and then resign.
The above statements are the unvar-
nished reports OF the parties directly in
terested. obtained by personal interviews.
In case Of this kind it is but natural
that many and entirely different stories
and exageentions are set aAoat, doing
more damage than the truth, and the
PRESS believes publication of the plain
facts as presented by both sides will be
generally accepted as the best method OF
settling what cannot help being a dis
agreeable affair.
As II is human to err, SO also should il
be human to display generosity, even
charitableness when occasion requires and
the PRESS feels that the old neighbors Of
Mr.. Green and his family will extend to
them the hand of sympathy to assist in
dispelling slight cloud that may tempor-
arily appear upon the horizon Of any
mans career.
The writer believes, and he speaks from
experience. that Mr.. Green will be better
on, financially, physically and above all.
mentally, without the office than with it.

Missed His Calling.

ignating the gentleman we mean no
disrespect to the ministers of the gos'
pei who are following their high call.
ing, attempted to make political
speech in this city last Saturday, and
to say that he has missed his calling
very mildly expresses it. He may be
gifted in oratory, yet in this instance
floundered as an ignoramus. Instead
OF the views OF statesman he never
got above the level of a ward dead
beat" His reputation as pulpit ora
tor was not sustained as political
stump speaker, as the cloven foot
OF Radicalism was shown too plain
not to be seen. He he's deserted the
Democratic party and il principles,
but he cannot deceive the Democrats
He may cry aloud and boast OF his
Democracy, but his douunciation Of
the Democratic candidate gives cor
tradiction to his own words No Dem
ocrat will ever be found in the attitude
of leading hopeless cause to advance
Radicalism. He may attempt to ridi
cule Hon. John P. Buchanan, but nc
one can ever accuse that gentleman
Of even giving any aid or encourage
ment to any attempt to defeat Demo
cratic principles or candidates. With
all his faults and short comings nc
man can charge Mr.. Buchanan witt
political hypocrisy or doing anything
which would place "black heels upor
