PETROLEUM NEAR OMAHA.

Further Facts Concerning the Recent Dis
covery Near That City.
nPEcrAL TELEeEAn TO TIE DnrAroH.,
OMAHA, March 2-Since the announce
ment few days ago of the finding of oil
near this city, things have commenced to
assume tangible shape The Omaha Oil
and Gas Company has been organized and
articles of incorporation FLED. The capital
stock is placed at $40, 900, and the object of
the company is to buy, lease and sell oil and
mineral lands and bore for oil.
The veil of mystery still hangs over the
well at Seymour Park. A member of the
company was seen last evening by your cor
respondent, but he refused to talk about it.
Rumor has it that an increase of oil was
found on the eighth bit, and that the sand
continues to show up better as the we'll deep
ened. The supposition is that they are
here in the interest of the Standard Oil
Company.
The striking of oil is now the chief topic
OF conversation in business circles, and real
estate men have already commenced to use
it on the strength of booming their prop
erty. From my knowledge of oil, 1 ieel
safe in saying that il oil exists here at all
it will be found at depth ranging from
1, 400 to ], 700 feet, according to the location.
Two more leases were taken yesterday, and
it is safe to presume that in the course of q
few days all the available property in this
vicinity will be taken up. So far as can be
learned the well will be drilled in by next
Wednesday, when it will be given chance
to show Its colors, and determine whether
sea OF oil lies beneath the Gate City or not. a

PRUsSIA'S LITTLE PRINCE.
His Name Was Kept a Secret According to
an Old Custom.

His Name Was Kept a Secret According to
an Old Custom.
Joachim, the name given to the little
Prince of Prussia, is more of the German
name than it sounds, and has been borne BY
some of the best as well as some of the worst
members Of the Brandenburgsr Princes. 1t
is an unwritten law Of the Prussian Court
that the names to be given at the christen-
ing of an infant of the reigning house must
not be known to any one except the parents
and sponsors until actually uttered at the
ceremony by the court chaplain.
The secret was we'll preserved on this oc-
casion as far as JOACHIM" was concerned,
as it was generally supposed that the Kaiser
would give Franz as the chief name 10 his
youngest son in compliment to his at present
warm friend and ally the Emperor Franz
Josef OF Austria. at the banquet following
the ceremony the Empress Frederick wore
the same grey silk gown which she had
specially made for the dinner she gave some
weeks ago in honor of her daughter Vic
toria's engagement to the Prince of
Schaumburg-Lippe. Her Majesty was in
high spirits and frequently kissed her little
grandchild

STOLE THE ELECTION LAW.

A Theft Which Will Cause the Oklahoma
Authorities Trouble.
OKLAHOMA CITY, March at was dis
closed Saturday by the Compiling Committee
of the Territorial Legislature that the law
providing for general election has been
stolen, and no trace of it can be found. 1t
provided for an election on national election
days and was passed by both Houses, but
there is no trace OF it further.
1t is thought here that the Governor signed
the bill, and that it was stolen from the
Territorial Secretary. At any rate, the bill
is gone, and there is no law providing for an
election two years hence or ever again in
this Territory.

CAN'T MODIFY BOUNDARIES.
The Decision of Judge Stowe in the sharps-
burg Case,

The Decision of Judge Stowe in the sharps-
burg Case.
Judge Stowe yesterday handed down an
opinion in the case of the petition of resi-
dents of O'Hara township for the annexa-
ton of land in the township to the borough
of Sharpsburg. The annexation had been
objected to by some of the landowners,
who maintained that the land was only farm
land. Judge Stowe, in his opinion. said
it was clear to him that portion of the land
was solely farm land, and as such should
not be included in the borough limits. He
did not think the court had the power to
change or modify the boundaries set out in
the petition, as it would amount, in fact, to
the ignoring of the finding of the grand
jury.
As he could not approve the finding, and
had no power to modify it, the only course
was to refuse to approve it, This leaves it
open for the people to commence new pro-
ceedings if they see fit.

THE C0NsTABLEs' RETURNS

Heard by Judge White in Criminal Court
Yesterday.
A large portion of the time in Criminal
Court yesterday was taken up in hearing
the constables' returns. The violations of
the liquor laws reported were very few.
Most of the constables returned "no viola
tions." Judge White stated that quite a
number of the constables had not yet made
their returns. In consequence he made an
order that no constables' returns would be
received in court until Wednesday morn
ing, when they would be required to come
into court and make their returns publicly.
Failing to do this the Court would take
steps to bring them in.

NEW SCHOOL FOR EDGEwo0D.

Rapid Growth of the Suburb Calls for
Greater Accommodation.
1t is expected that the borough of Edge
wood will, before many months have passed,
be in the possession OF q handsome school
building. The board of school directors of
the borough have advertised for proposals
from contractors. and they expect that the
handsome two-story brick building on Maple
avenue called for in the specifications will be
an actual fact during the coming summer.
Edgewood is one of the prettiest suburbs Of
Pittsburg. and Its population has increased
so much within the last few years that the
need of a new school for the children can no
longer be ignored.

GAVE TOO LARGE A DOSE.
A Hospital Patient at ST. Paul Dies From
Its Effects.

Its Effects.
ST. PAUL, MINI, March 2-Miss Phil
lipina Wamback of Georgetown, MIMI,
came to her death at st. Joseph's Hospital
in most sensational manner to-day. She
is tine daughter of wealthy parents at George
town and but 10 years old. For some time
she has had a goitre on her neck Just over
the windpipe. 1t was feared that it would
continue to grow until it suffocated her.
Yesterday morning she came 10 st. Paul sc-
companied by two brothers, and went to st.
Joseph's Hospital for treatment.
This morning Drs. MilIard, Ritchie and
Millard prepared to remove the goitre, first
arranging to render Miss Wambaeh uncon-
scious with ether. She objected to its use
for some time, but finally consented, where
upon the physicians began administering
it, and continued it for three or four min
utes. Noticing alarming symptoms they
suddenly ceased their work, and applied
battery to restore her to consciousness. She
did not revive, however, and died in 20
minutes. The case is in the hands of
Coroner Quinn.

Report of the Bureau of Health.
Superintendent Baker, of the Bureau of
Health, made his annual report to Chief
Brown yesterday. During the year there
were reported 6,21O births, 2,411 marriages
and 4,977 deaths.
Mr.. Baker suggests that S10,O be appro-
priated for vaccination, which he considers
absolutely necessary for the prevention of
smallpox, and then makes strong appeal
for "two or more small frame buildings.
separate and apart from the main hospital
building, but on the same grounds, on which
there is ample room, for the purpose of car.
ing for and treating destitute individuals
suffering from scarlet fever, diphtheria, ery-
sipelas and diseases of like character, other
than smallpox, and those which the general
hospital refuse to accept. The necessity for
such buildings is becoming greater eyery
wear Is our population increases. Super.
intendent Baker states that the only ex-
pense would be the cost of erecting the build
ings.
