ty, Ohio. The flow of oil commenced
Nov. Is. The spectacle is described as
one of the most magnificent ever wit
messed in that part of the country. First
appeared u column of water rising
eight or ten feet in the air. This was
followed by Il black stream of mud and
sand, which gradually changed to yell
low. Then, with Il deafening ii the
gas burst forth in an immense volume,
hiding the derrick from view. AS this
cleared away Il solid golden column Il
foot in diameter shot from the derrick
floor 100 feet in the air, there breaking
into fragments and falling in Il shower
of yellow rain for Il quarter of Il mile
around. For Il period of five hours
this great column of oil shot upward.
In u very few moments the field about
the we'll was covered several inches
deer with petroleum. Within three or
four hours the bitches for miles around
were OVERLOOKING with oil. Dams We're
constructed in order that the product
might be estimated, but these were
overlooked and swept away as rapidly
as built. Some persons living in the
vicinity, alarmed ut the spectacle,
packed their household goods and fled.
The Buckeye pumping station, u mile
distant, was compelled to extinguish
its fires on account of the gas, and all
other fires within the district We're put
out. 1t was Il literal flood of oil, the
estimated production for the first TWEEN
ty-four hours being 14,56O,OOO gallons.
About $4,000 barrels per day have been
saved and marketed since the oil has
been brought under full control. The
owner has refused an offer of 100000
for the well, being content with the in
come of 100000 per day.

ter and summer in Honolulu. While
the exterior of the Dole mansion
is plain. it is handsomely. even
luXuriously, furnished. The library con-
tains many books and the usual compile
mcnt Of tables and chairs. Pictures and
statues and statuettes are numerous. Mrs.
Dole is an artist. and some of the paint
iEgs are of her W production. Onc no

can subjects among these pictures and
statues. The largest statue is the figure
o. a Massachusetts minute-man of 1918.
Mr.. Dole says he has these reininiscences
and reminders of America because he
looks to it always AS the parent
country, just as an Australian or
New Zealander always speaks of
England as ''home," though he
might never have seen the old country.
The provisional President is the son of
New England missionaries who went out
to Hawaii in 1911. SO he has come hon

there at Punahou College. and was then
sent to Williams College, Massachusetts.

Champion Mine VIII Ise Closed lOr an

NEGAUNEE, July 3l.-The strikers at
the Champion mine have been paid off
with the notification that the .mire will
remain closed for an indefinite period.
The Champion has been working on the
pillars, robbing the worked out portions
OF the property. The ore is of the hard
variety and has to be crushed, which adds
considerably to the expense, and it is said
the management has ihad difficult time
meeting expenses. The Champion was
the first hard ore property in this region
to suspend work some three years ago.

Twelve laborers worked all day dig.

Holmes confessed that he thereupon
dragged the dead body TO the second floor,

month Of the dead man with q pencil and
poured in q quantity OF explosive chemi-

To give the more forcible impression
that Pitzsl came to his death by an acci-
