A West Virginia wonder.

West Virginia comes to the front
with a natural wonder. In Noble
County there is, according to a local
paper, a fathomless e composed of
salt water and oil, from which gas
escapes with a tremendous roar.
Nearly twenty years ago a well was
drilled there to the depth of 1900
feet, but as no results were appar-
ent it was abandoned. Some years
after water and gas escaped from
the hole with great pressure, tearing
out the tubing and cutting a cavern
apparently hundreds of feet deep
and forty feet in diameter. After
some years it ceased to flow, and a
farmer named Martz filed it up and
built a barn over it, resting one
pillar on the filled ground. A few
days ago a terrific report at the barn
announced the explosion OF the well,
and oil and water poured out in
abundance. In a short time the
pillar under the barn began to sink
and was soon out of sight. In the
course of a day the hole had become
fathomless and again nearly forty

Calif0rnia's Famous Wines.

Wherever a body of Californians
go, for any purpose whatever, with

In accordance with this pleasant Gus
tom of the Pacific coasters, the Cal
ifornia delegation to the National
Convention have brought with them
a car load of native wine. They do
not intend thereby to cast any re-
Election upon the beverages obtaina-
bic here in Chicago, but they wish
to advertise their state and the pro-
ducts thereof, a habit that has be-
come second nature to C'alifornians
under all circumstances and in all
places. For this popularity they
should not be blamed. California
is a glorious state, as anybody who
has had three or four glasses of Cal
ifornia champagne will admit.

Quite a Refreshing Surprise.

"lI'l bet you can't put a nickel
on your forehead and a funnel in
the front of your ~pantaloons and
throw your head forward so as to
drop the coin in the funnel, said a
friend to Councilman Turner Sat
urday. There was quite a crowd
of jolly fellows in Turner, Jackson
& Co.'S store when the assertion was
made and MIR. Turner said he could
accomplish the feat for the nickel.
"All right" said the trick-player.
The funnel was placed in the front
Of his pants and MI. Turner threw
his head away back for the nickel
to be placed on his forehead. AT
this moment dipper full of cold
ice water went down the funnel and
in a second the large drops of per-
spiratfon on the eouncilman's brow
were transformed into i~cicles.

lT is u opinion that the direc-
tors, superintendent, secretary and
other employees of the Fire Brick
Works, would prefer to rebuild in
Mexico instead OF 1ocating elsewhere.
We think our business men and
citizens in general should show an
active and earnest interest in the
Fire Brick Works and the value OF
the same to the interests of Mexico,
SO the works will be rebuilt here this
fall. There is nc question but what
their removal would be a severe
blow to the growth and enterprise OF
our city. Regardless of any senti-
ment or feeling in the matter, the
fact remains that Mexico cannot af-
ford to lose this enterprise. Let us
remember this in discussing the
matter and in making our subscrip-
tons.

STOLEN TICKETS.
Col. Prather Relieved Of 200 Intended
for the Miss0urians.

CHICAGO, June 21.-Col. Griff
Prather is in apeck of trouble to-day
and not even the sight of the gorg-
eous NationalC ommitteeman S badge
consoles him. The Colonel went up
to the national headquarters late yes
terday afternoon to get all the tickets
to which the Missourians are entitled.
He got five for each delegate and al
ternate and 200 for his personal
share as National Committeeman.
The delegates tickets he put into a
pasteboard box with their badges
and his 200 he wrapped in a news
paper, putting the bundle under the
arm where he held the box. Then
with his stick in the other hand he
started for the Grand Pacific. On
the way he met several people who
wanted to see him on business and
stopped to talk with them.
When he got to his headquarters
he found the room crowded with
Missourians waiting for tickets. The
Colonel laid down his stick. "Here
Tom," said he to Mr.. Knapp, 81
guess we have have got enough here
to go around"
He laid down the box and an
empty paper futtered to the floor at
the same time. The 200 tickets
were gone, every one OF them.
Col. Prather was frantic. He look
ed in his pockets despairingly, took
off his hat and looked there and
then broke into a torrent of exclama-
ton. "Some Internal scoundrel
stole those tickets while | was walk
ing" said he.
Messengers were sent back on the
Colonel's route in the hope that
somebody might have taken the
tickets for a joke, but not one has
been found yet. Tickets are selling
for $25 apiece here and a lost adj
%vertisement would hardly bring them
back in Chicago.
This morning the Colonel sailed
out after breakfast to pick up enough
tickets at the counters where they
are for sale to make good the prom
ises he had made to the delegates.
1t will cost him nearly 81 900 to do
this, as he had been very generous
in his assurances to his friends that
they should have tickets for the
Missourians whom they wanted to
get into the convention hall.

WDIN THE LYNCHERs.
Special Term Of Coart Ordered to
Try the fancy County Prisoners.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, June IS
This forenoon Judge w. B. Hub
bard, during a session of the circuit
court here, made an order for a
special term of the fancy county
circuit court to begin on July II for
the purpose Of trying the twelve men
now in Jail at this place and Ozark
on the charge Of numbering Deputy
Sheriff George T. Williams at For
sythe on March II last. The attor-
neys for the defense say they con-
cede nothing to the state, and have
no doubt about acquitting their
clients, while the prosecution are
equally confident of eonyicting the
prisoners. The opinion is held by
some that the lynchers will share
the fate of the Christian county Bald
Knobbers, who were railroaded
through court and to the penitentiary
and the gallows.

No Lack OF Force.

Never did men feel the abund-
ance Of unused and misused force
as it is felt to-day. Nowhere is the
student of the future met by the
awful problem Of q dead world, an
unborn clod of burned-out cinder to
be kindled into life. The life is
here. Only so often it plays instead
of working, and loiters instead of
running, and is eager not about the
greatest, but about the least. Where
is the noisy energy and great zeal
to-day? 1t is where men are seek
ing money, not where men are seek
ing truth. tits where men are pursu-
ing selfish ambitions, not where
they are laboring for the common
good. 1t is where the things of the
flesh, not the things of the spirit, are
the prize. So it appears, at least,
upon the surface. So runs the
lamentation of anxious hearts.
stTurn from the wide world, which
it is SO easy to abuse, so hard to
understand, and think of your own
life which you do know. There are
high desires, noble diseontents and
ambition in you. You know that
they are there. But is not the
dissatisfaction of your whole life
this that it is not they that get your
most devoted thought and eager ac-
tion2 It is the meat which perish
eth for which you really labor. 1t
is the prize of the moment that sets
you all astir with desire, with indig-
nation, with hope, with fear. All the
time off there in the distance on it's
shrine shines pure and white the
real ultimate desire of your nature,
adored and treasured, but too far
away and cold to draw it to the
tides of passion, love and hate,
which spend their force upon the
trifes of the day. Sometimes it
seems almost as if so strange a state
of things produced its strange result
in the diserediting of eager passion
and desire, las if they were too coarse
and common for the highest interests
of life. The instrument which you
confine to lower uses and rob of its
best duties is itself dishonored, and
becomes even suspicious of itself.
EagerEess and enthusiasm seem to
many of us POLITICALLY to have their
true place in the stock exchange or
on the ball field, but to bring some
thing to deflement and distortion
with them when you set them free
into the lofty regions of the search
for truth and the development of
character and the service of fellow
men,"
