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 Il column of water rising
eight or ten feet in the air, This was
followed by black stream of mud and
sand, which gradually changed to vel
low. Then, with Il deafening roar, the
gas burst forth in an immense volume,
hiding the derrick from view. AS this
cleared away Il solid golden column a
foot in diameter shot from the derrick
floor 100 feet in the air there breaking
into fragments and falling in shower
of yellow rain for n quarter Of mile
around For a period Of five hours
this great column Of oil shot upward.
In very few moments the field about
the well was covered several inches
deep with petroleum. Within three or
four hours the bitches for miles around
were overfowing with oil. Dams were
constructed in order that the product
might DE estimated, but these were
overhowed and swept away as rapidly
as built Some persons living in the
vicinity, alarmed at the spectacle,
packed their household goods and fed.
The Buckeye pumping station, a mile
distant, was compelled to extingulsh
it's fires on account of the gas, and all
other fires within the district were put
out. 1t was a literal food of oil, the
estimated production for the first TWEEN
ty-four hours being 14,5G0,000 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 $4,000 per day.

A Gold In the Head.

The process by which n cold in the
head or throat may be promptly re-
lleved, as suggested by a French ply
stefan, is not new, but it is u revival Of
a most agreeable If half-forgOtten
method. FrenchwOmGn have long
known the virtues Of prompt inhala-
tons of eau de cologne, and an old
French mam'selle, who taught tho
young ladies Of an uptown school twen-
ty years ago, was at least one of her
race to import the remedy. Like all
such remedies, the cologne water
should be inhaled ut once, rs soon as
the first SYMPTOMS Of the coming attack
appear Deep whilfs must be taken,
and the fumes are more potent when
the cologne Is poured on a handker-
chief. -Four or five limitations Of from
two or three minutes eachare sufficient,
according to the French doctor, to put
to rOut the most wllllng-tO-stay cold II
the preventive IS begun in time.

which will be after the burlington"

gaining much favor among all churches,
was started about year and half ago
in Burlington, vt. The duties of the

after the evening services, and to intro
duce missionary features At recent

Pleasanton special; A mass meeting
was called for the purpose of taking
steps toward sending aid to the suffer
ers in western Kansas. Il. j. Baker
MAYER of the city, was elected chairman
OF tho relief committee. Before six o.
clock the committee reported 5000

From Fort Scott A novel cooper
alive mining scheme is being operated
here, by the city, for the benefit Of the
unemployed laborers, which is self-sus-
tanning. Many Of the streets are under
laid with coal and fine cement rock, and
in several parts of the city places have
been opened for the mining OF these
minerals. The city furnishes the tools
and powder used in the working Of the
mines, and allows the men three cents a
bushel for the coal and 10 cents yard
for all the cement rock. The material
finds a ready sale and after being sold
IL any surplus money remains it is di-
vided among the men in proportion to
the work done by each one, AS fast as
the mineral is taken out the streets are
graded and leveed up by the men, and
not only are numerous INDECENT work
men given employment at which they
can provide for their families, but the
city secures the grading of the streets
free.

Gated his mother whom he has been try
ing to find for twenty-five years, in
AUchison, in the person of Mrs. &. II.
Wentworth. Mrs. Wentworth was mar
ried about thirty years ago to man
named Holloway, who died. Her son
was taken by relatives, from whom he
ran away, and went in search Of his
mother. She married Il. r. Wentworth,
and moved to place unknown to her
son. She tried to locate him for long
time, but was unsuccessful, and finally
thought he must be dead. Years rolled
by, and Holloway went into business in
Dewitt, Neb. He had occasion to go
to irving, Kan, not long ago, and acct
dentally got into a conversation with
brother OF E. r. Wentworth, who told
him whore his mother could be found.
He went to see her at once, and the
meeting 10 said to have boen very at-
fectionate one. Mrs. Wentworth has
been i'll for long time and died last

KANSAS RAlLROADING.

The express car that underwent the
''war" in the Santa Fe holdup at Sylvia
is now in the Santa Fe yards at Topeka
for repairs. The battered door and the
several bullet holes in the sides OF the
car form an interesting sight to the Gu
rious sight.seer.
Horace Keefer and A. r. Ford, Of
Kansas City, Kan, appeared before the
state board of railroad commissioners in
Topeka and presented the complaint Of
the people against the Kansas City
Wyandotte & Northwestern railroad for
Withdrawing a certain passenger train
from that road. They argued that the
public needs demanded the service, and
that the business was sufficient to war
rant its operation, The board has the
case under advisement.

STOCK AND FARM.

Peters & Skinner, the North Topeka
nurserymen, grew more Seeding pears
the past season than any other nursery
firm in America. They imported thirty
bushels of pear seeds from Japan, from
which they raised nearly two million
roots. These they have shipped to al
most every state in the union.
Topeka Journal; Robt. Mason, Of the
Holden rancho, Kingsvile, was in the
city, and had just finished shipping $50
head OF cattle, which netted an average
of $50. He is now feeding 900 head
for the April market, and about the mid
die of March will put on 500 head,
which will be ready in June or July.
Winfield special Reports from the
different parts Of the county indicate
that the recent blizzard has worked i'm
mense damage to growing wheat and
left it in a precarious condition. The
violent winds removed all the loose dirt
and piled all the snow in drifts. In adj
dition to this, the cold was 80 severe as
to freeze the ground very hard The
ground has been exceedingly dry, and
the falling snow was depended on to
moisten the earth and save the growing
crops. Farmers to the west as far as
the Arkansas river say that unless warm
weather sets IN, and rains commence,
the prospects Of a wheat crop will be
very slim.
Medicine Lodge Cresset: Horny
burst and Guy Sparks expect to put
about forty acres each in broom corn
this year. Mr. Sparks raised some
broom corn last year, and it paid him
better than any other crop he raised.
n. N. Probst, OF Sumner county, is
putting in an irrigating apparatus. He
figures that il he can raise an acre or
two Of potatoes, such as his soil is ca
pable OF raising when properly watered,

Gently built in Colorado, Everybody
who has ever seen picture Of cliff
dweller's town or Of pueblo village
knows what an adobe house Is. The
adobe house Is made of n peculiar
sticky mud and Is always sun dried.
The bricks vary in size and are gGner-
ally about 1 inches deep, inches wide
and ~ inches in length, while the outer
walls of the adobe building proper vary
from . to / feet in thickness. one old
mission in New Mexico boasts o. an
outer wall six feet in thickness.
Curiously enough, the exact recipe
for mixing this adobe Is held MS q Sc
cret by the MeXlcnns and half-breeds.
Not even have they disclosed the neces-
sary amount Of hay or straw to make
up perfect adobe brick. Mayhap the
Egyptian told 1t to the Aztec and this
wonderful race to the ancestors Of the
present, The building Of an adobe
house must necessarily be confined to
the months between May and August,
at least in Colorado, Arizona and New
Mexico, for frost Is death to the uh-

Richard III. in Citizens Dress. =

"Tom .Keene played Richard III. in
street clothes in Macon, Ga, two years
ago. said c. II. Reeves at the Emery.
"All of the company's trunks were
carried past Macon on the Central Road
in some way, and could not be brought
back in time for the performance, The
house had been pretty well sold up,
and 1t would not do to disappoint the
people. Not even n sword could be
procured, and large clcaver was Dor
rowed from the hotel. In citizens
clothes and with the cleaver as n sword
Keene and his company went upon the
stage. During the first act there was
great deal Of merriment in the audi
ence, but Keene played as he never
played before, and made his hearers
forget the inGongrultles. 1t was the
greatest success of the tragedlan's life"
