a few years ago a prominent oil produc
er of Pittsburg was putting down a we'll
in territory that had never been tested
for oil He was keeping the fact pro-
found secret, in order that, in case he got
a good well, he might without difficulty
secure all the leases he desired in the vicin-
ity. He was on the ground himself,
watching with great interest the indica-
lions. Everything pointed to success.
Two days before the well was expected to
"come in" he was called home Anxious
about the result, he arranged with his con-
tractor to telegraph him as soon as the
drill reached the sand. He knew, how.
ever, that secrets will sometimes leak out
of telegraph office, and so he told the
driller that the sentence, ''Pine trees grow
tall, - would mean that he had struck oil

A FREE silver state convention has
been called in California open to believers
in the white metal of whatever political
faith. Yet the public is told daily by
eastern gold bug politicians and news
papers that the "silver craze" is dying
out. The persistence with which they re-
peat this will recall to the minds of Kan
sans how some Republican papers in this
state continued to assure their readers
throughout the summer of 1890 that the
Farmers Alliance was dying out Yet
the Farmers Alliance elected a United
States senator who Is still in office. Mis-
representation never accomplishes any
permanent good.

Brains in the Finger rin..

It may not be so generally known
that recent post-mortem examinations
of the bodies of the blind reveal the
fact that in the nerves at the ends Of
the fingers well-defned cells of gray
matter had formed, identical in sub
stance and in cell formation with the
gray matter" of the brain. What does
this show? 1t proves that a man can
think not alone in his head, but all over
his body, and especially in the great
nerve centers like the solar plexus, and
the nerve ends on the palms of the
hands and the soles of the feet. The
coming man will assured1y perceive
and think in every part, from his head
down to his feet.

The liquor interests are rapidly gain
ing the same ascendancy in the affairs of
Great Britain that they already have in
the United States Mulhall estimated the
capital in the liquor business a few years
ago at $5S5,0OO,000. 1t is now perhaps
80 per cent larger than that. The beer
consumed in 1898 amounted to 1859 gal
Ions per capita and the revenue derived
from the business amounted to $780,
100000. Each year shows an increase
in the number of brewers and distillers
in parliament AS long as governments
maintain partnership with the makers
and dispensers of intoxicants and large
profits can be made out of the business,
q sufficient proportion of those profits
will be. used effectively to protect the
business from adverse legislation. The
peoples servants are holding the hands
of the masses away from the throat OF
the liquor traffic.

An Original witness.

Some time since, in southwest Georgia,
a murder case was being tried before \
certain Judge. The states attorneys had
seen the shooting, and they had an old ne
gro on the witness stand. The negro be-
came intensely interested in the story no
was telling. His big eyes were fixed upon
the lawyer who was questioning him, and
he seemed to think there was no other per-
son in the rom. He was trembling with
excitement, so much SO that he stamnered,
and he told his story as if he was having a
strictly private and confidential converse
ton with the states attorney.
"And 'en, boss" he said in solemn and
awestruck tones, ''j-j-jes' ez war a-comin
roun de cornah, sab, seen him long O.

"What time was thisP'' asked the judge
The witness paused just for a second, as
If something had disturbed him, but then,
without turning his head, he went on:
"J-j-jes' as 1 war a-comin roun de cor

The Judge raped the desk before him
smartly with his gave1.
'Stopp' he said. 1.-THE court is asking
you a question. At what time did you
come around the corner?"

motion with his hand as if he was brush.

The judge brought his mallet down with
a noise which almost caused the witness
to leap off the stand, and reared out;
''What do you mean, sir? If you do moi

The witness turned, faced the court and
said in deprecating tones:
"L-1-look er yere, boss, doan' you see

If every philosophical citizen who
has grieved over the almost total loss
of song birds through the pugnacity
of the sparrow would follow the ex-
ample set by Jack Durney, a down
town youth, it would not be very long
before the feathered songsters would
return again in full force, says the
Philadelphia Record. On the roof Of
a building in the back yard of the Dur
ney homestead sparrow trap is erect
ed and is in full swing night and day.
Not only are the feathered pests cap
tured by the dozen, but all the friends
of the Durney family fer squares
around will testify to the fact that
nothing on earth compares with fat
sparrows when cooked in potpie. The
trap is one into which the birds hop
to get the grain and bread crumbs
plainly in sight. Once inside the birds
did not know enough to come out. The
sparrows feed more on a cloudy and
windy day than on still, bright day,
but no matter what the weather is, it
is a poor day when the trap will not
yield fifty sparrows. Mr.. Durney says
he is going to get his trap patented
and then induce the legislature to pay
SO much apiece for dead sparrows.
Then he'll make his trap earn him a
fortune.

LOOKS LIKE PURE MALToE.

The Capital has again apparently
deliberately and malici3usly lied con-
corning a publication in the STATE
JOURNAL relative to the Susan B.
Anthony resolution The JOURNAL
on the nth gave the text of the
resolution, which it said would be dis
cussed at the woman suffrage picnic. It
was discussed, and the JOURNAL gave an
account of the discussion, and stated that
the resolution was laid over and not
adopted. Correspondents of Chicago
and New York newspapers in Topeka
sent out dispatch that it was unani-
mously adopted. The JOURNAL on the
18th published the following:
The Topeka correspondents of the
Chicago and New York papers are al
lowed pretty wide latitude ia the stuff
they send out of Topeka, but they have
stretched the truth too much when they
wire that the women at the suffrage pic
mic have adopted the Miss Anthony res
olution unanimously. They did not adopt
it OF course the Topeka correspondents
knew the article was unstable unless
the resolution was adopted, but they
should draw line little this side of a
direct falsehood.
In view of these facts the JOURNAL
cannot understand why the Capital
makes the false charge it does, unless
it deliberately intends to misrepresent
the JOURNAL, or perhaps it has had an
other weak moment"

SENATOR SHERMAN is reported in an
interview az saying that the silver agi-
tation proceeds from a class of people
who contract debts in one kind of money
and want to pay them in cheaper mon
ey. The senator is mistaken. They
merely ask to be permitted to pay their
debts in the same kind of money in
which they were contracted instead of a
dearer money as the gold bugs would
compel them to do if they could. They
want to pay in 100 cent dollar instead
of 200 cent dollar.

Jim Blanchard is a veteran prospec-
tor, who tells some queer stories Of his
experience in the west, and when in a
talkative mood is always in demand
While sitting at the hotel the other
evening he was the center of an in
terested crowd. One OF the characters
tics peculiar to travellers, in the noun
tains especially, being unQuestioned
veracity, no one would think of cast
ing reflections upon the truthfulness OF
Jim's statements. He was telling OF a
trip from Deming, N. NJ, on the Gull
in Lower California. He was accom-
panied by James Hanigan, Califor-
MAN. Everything went well until they
got about 275 miles south Of Deming.
Here they halted at a spring. Blanch-
ard tethered the horses, while Hanl-
gan prepared meal. AS they expected
to make q dry camp that night, HAM
gan suggested that the water cask be
rehlled. To do so, Blanchard thought
the handiest way would be to get the
burro close to the spring and fill the
cask with cut removing it from the bur-
ro's back. The burro demurred and
| threw Blanchard into the stream. In
falling, he tore his trousers from the
hip to the knee. Having neither needle
nor thread, he took the bark of will
low sprout and sewed up the rent. Now,
the Mexican willow has a peculiar ma
ture, and in the wet season a young
! sprout has been known to develop into
a'good sized tree over night. On awak-
ing the next morning Blanchard found
willow tree growing from his leg. The
bark which he had stripped from the
sapling had taken root and sprouted.
There was stified gasp heard among
the auditors which seemed to disturb
the speakers serenity for moment.
He looked inquiringly for the cause,
but not a word was spoken. cts a
| fact, gentlemen" he concluded, "that
| there tree got so blanked cumbersome
| in two days that Hanigan was obliged
to chop it down to relieve me-"
