Editor Chicago Sentsnel:
Attention, please! If you have
a side-light to throw on to illumin-
ate the Nonconformist's trade
against Mrs. Lease, it is your duty
to spit it out without chewing. We
have had enough of this everlasting
insinuation and inuendo.
1t is interesting to note that it is
the men who violently opposed the
nomination of Weaver who are now
spewing out their impotent venom
at Mrs. Lease. That remarkable
woman must have smashed fat job
that the boys thought they had COR
nered. You may say that if that
political chameleon, jumpingjack
and mountebank, Gresham, had been
nominated, he would have been elect
ed. If he had, he would have APP
pointed Grover Cleveland secretary
of state, and would have gone on
his knees to Wall street to learn
what to do
If old money-bags has you fellows
hired to disrupt the Peoples party,
YOU. are serving him well, and he
ought to raise your salary. But for
once, old Shylock has made poor
choice, for Mrs. Lease can raise a
bigger, more intelligent and manly
following than any dozen Of you.
Probably that is what hurts.
We all know that Gen. Weaver
and Mrs. Lease were mobbed in
Georgi. We also know that w. s.
Scott was rotten-egged at Gravity,
Taylor county, Iowa; but we do
not know that it is crime to speak
of these outrages nor do we know
that it is complimentary to us fell
lows to say that we were frightened
back into the old parties by hearing
a little truth told, though i admit
we were not used to tive were in
the habit of listening to men. You
fellows would make it appear that
the success of the Populist move

one individual, and that individual

MR.. CLEVELAND'S ACCIDENT.

Poor Grover CHANGED the other day
While starting on mission
To bump his carriage with his head
In sharp and strong collision
No blood flowed, but the skin raised
In bump that was a WONDER,
And a doctor was called in to aid
Lest the life ties burst asunder.

The people think the currency
Should have some slight attention,
And that mortgages and taxes
Are worthy of mention;
But the plutocrats with trembling lips
To the telegraph ticker jump,
And send this order through the land
Pay attention to that bump
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1893-05-11

They telegraphed it everywhere
Through Columbia's confines wide,
That naughty, hateful bump had raised
The presidential hide.
And stories Of the starving poor
Were everywhere suppressed,
That the feeling of the public
On that bump might be expressed.

knife his asssilant's wife came up behind
him with an AK and made murderous

turned just in time to prevent the steel
edge striking him, and, ducking his
head, escaped with a slight scratch on

WANTS TO RACE.
Wong Foot, the Chinese BicyclIst, Anx-

Wong Foot. the Chinese BicyclIst, Anx-
ious to show His speed.
Wong Fook is nothing more than a
common, every-day-sort of Chinaman.
bat Ee has within the last few weeks
led some people to think that he will
soon be one of the swiftest bicyclists in
the city. In word, Fook is training to
race.B nIatj gn
Some months ago Fook, with the
audacity of an oriental heathen, walked
into q pfominent cycling establishment
and said be had come to buy a bicycle.
After the clerks recovered from the
shock, a. wheel was brought out. Fook
sized UP, the silent steed Immediately
aud said that was just the one he
wanted. He paid the bill and pushed
the wheel to his place of abode.
When the shades of evening began to
fall he grasped his trusty steed and
ambled forth, to do or to die. He con-
quered the thing and soon was seen
winding through the throngs of vehicles
upon the streets.
Then his cousin-in Chinese, his
brother-became 20 infatuated that he
too purchased wheel. A week or two
ago Ah Lee did likewise, 40 that now
Los Angeles has the peculiar distinction
of raising Chinese bicycle riders.
But Wong Fook has taken step in
advance OF his brother celestials. He
has dSnned "Melican" bicycle clothes
and begun training with view to rae
ing. For the last two weeks Fook has
been riding regularly upon the track at
Athletic park.
The local riders were somewhat
amazed at the appearance of the China
man among their ranks, and some of
them refueed to train while John re-
manned upon the track. But the preiu-
dice against him soon wore away. and
his intelligent aud unobtrusive conduct
brought him friends.
Fook can make a good race, although
he has been training but few weeks.
His best mile was made close to the
three-minute mark, while ne made a
quarter the other day in about As Sec
onds. He has as yet no trainer, but as
soon as he finds an opportunity OF enter
ing any races he will have everything
necessary.

be sunk within a Jew hundred feet o.
the Banner and Golden West wells.
The general manager OF the West
Coast company, Mr. NJ. r. Craig, is
considered one OF the beet oil experts in
California. He was superintendent Of
the Pacific Coast Oil company's field
wsrks for seven years, and in therefore
thoroughly familiar with the local oil
measures. lie assured the HERALD
scribe that there 10 not the slightest
doubt OF there being an abundance of
petroleum In the Newhall region, and
predicted that for every single well now
spou'ing oil there would in a short time
be dozen.
The party which a member OF the
HERALD staff accompanied, was chaper-
oned by Mr.. A. l.. Hitchcock, president
of the West Coast Oil company, who is
very enthusiastic over the outlook. He
ia aleo interested in the Banner and
Golden West companies. Mr.. Judkins,
the gentleman who used to conduct the
mammoth boomtime excursions from
the e4st, and Mr.. Rush, an Illinois
capitalist who recently bought 40-acre
ranch at Rosecrans and residence prop
erty in Los Angeles, were also OF the
party, and they too unhestatingly ex-
pressed their faith in the future OF the
Newhall oil region.
The accessibility of the Banner, West
Coast and Golden West properties is an
other important consideration. They
are only two miles from the Southern
Pacific railroad. and good level wagon
road runs to the wells. A pipe line to
Newhall, or spur of the railroad to the
oil wells could be constructed at COM
psratively light expense. The Pacific
Coast Oil company has pipe line eight
miles long, and it 10 a com mon sight to
see whole train of tank cars on the
Siding at Newhall being loaded with the
rich product of the oil wells in the vi
cinity.
The attention OF a good many eastern
capitalists has recently been called to
these oil properties. A number have
been on the ground and investigated, ),
and it begins to look as though eastern
capital was going to get in and develop
the petroleum industry in Soathern
California on large scale. An Iowa
man q short time ago bought 1000 shares
of Banner oil stock at par. Another
man, who bought 1900 shares at 10
cents, sold it short time afterwards at
80 cents and thinks he made bad bar
gain. These are but few of the many
instances that go to show that the Pc
troleum industry in this section is
really looking up. %,
The Union Oil company's refinery at
Santa Paula is turning out great va
riety of refined products, for which
there is q ready market. Hitherto the
reinery's supply of crude oil has been q
little short, but with the many new
welle now going down this will soon be
remedied The probabilities are that
additional refneries will have to be
erected to take care of the raw proouct.
The demand for crude oil for fuel is
also daily increasing. 1t is found to be
lar cheaper and more satisfactory than
coal. The furnaces in the United States
naval plant at Mare island have recently
been changed 80 as to burn petroleu m
instead of coal, and so all along the
coast. crude oil is becoming the favorite
fuel for generating steam power. The
petroleum beds of Southern California
must supply all this fuel, and they will.

LOWERED RAIsIN RATES.

Tho Railroads Give the Growers Show
for Profit.
The railroads have given q lower rate
on raisins which will be very gratifying
news to the raisin growers of Southern
California, and more particularly of
Fresno and Riverside.
The rate OF 81 40 has been superseded
by new rate of $l.20 for raisins in
sacks, the minimum carload being "a
600 pounds. The rate for raisins in box
is 81 and $l.2O in sacks and mixed car
loads.
AS the Fresno raisin crop is just about
cured and ready for shipment, the re-
duced rate is very acceptable. The
raieins in the Santa Ana vallies. es-
pecially at Riverside and Redlands, are
slow in curing, owing to the bad
weather during the last week.
