BLACK LILIES
Draw Large Crowd aud GiYe IA Good
Performance.


One of the most original conceptions
that ever entered the busy brains of the
hustling ladies of this or any other
town was the one that led to the star
attraction of last week. The Black
Lilies had been quite extensively adj
vertised in catchy way and public
expectation ran high. A large crowd
filed the Opera House to almost its
seating capacity when the curtain rose
on the first act. The array of colored
damsels there revealed cast a dense
shade over all surrounding and the
audience went wild. The singing was
exceptionally good, the jokes were all
thoroughly enjoyed especially the well
chosen local hits and the marching
was superb. The songs were all of a
catchy variety and several that had a
local flavor we're enthusiastically re-
ceived. The whistling of 'gThe
Whistling Coon" was very well re-
celved.
The little Pickininny that picked
the banjo did very well and was re-
called several times. The may pole
dance was one of the prettiest feat
ures of the whole performance and
its successful rendition reflects credit
upon both the performers and their
trainer. Taking the affair as whole
it has been long time since similar
one was so thoroughly enjoyed as it
was. The burnt cork formed COM
plete disguise and the larger part of
the audience were completely at sea as
to the identity of the we'll known
young ladies who faced them. But as
beautifier burnt cork is not howl
ing success as was amply deponstra-
ted by its effect on the company. The
performance was given for the benefit
of the M. E. Parsonage fund and net
ted about $l15. The affair was as
great success financially as in all
other respects. The promoters of it
should feel highly pleased at so sue
cessful an outcome for their expert
ment and all concerned deserve credit
for the way in which, it was conduct
ed. The program was as follows:

MANY IMPROVEMENTS
NOW BEING MADE At THE PUMP
STATfoS
Thousands Of Dollars Being spent on
New Liaes and New Buildings.

The Pumping Station above here is
generally considered to be very well
equipped and complete establishment
and so it is. But the Characteristic
enterprise OF the Standard OH Co. has
urged them to begin systsm Of inn
proyenents that win result in great
profit TO all In this section OF country.
The present large building u to have
an extension built to it forty feet In
length adding a much larger working
room. In this new addition is to be
placed a new fly wheel pump with ca
pacity Of from %, 900 TO 80, 600 barrels
per day. This building and pump
will not cost less than $4,000 and
will furnish employment TO large
force of men. To accommodate the
increased pumping capacity new
pipe line is to be laid through to the
sea board. This line has been begun
at Cheat River and will be probably
completed next spring. A force is
now engaged on this line and its con-
struction will give employment TO
great many people. Another extern
three lines from the oil fields TO the
station. Two short lines have also
been laid from the tanks on the hill
to the pumps; one ten inch line the
other a six inch. These lines add very
materially to the pumping capacity ss
they furnish the force of gravity and
the oil does not have to be sucked into
the pumps thus losing SO much force.
The station is now receiving three
kinds Of oil; Corning, Eureka and
Amber, the last named being the fin
est grade. 1t is of u clear amber col
or and can readily be seen through.
These different kinds of oil now have
to be pumped through the same line
and this mixing is prevented by an in
genous continuance, when the send
ing of a ceetain kind is completed sep
arators are placed in the pipes before
another is introduced. The amount
ahead1 of the separator 10 registered
and by calculation it is ascertaiiled
just when the separator is due at the
other end of the line. The compile
ton of the new line will render this
unnecessary. The Corning is not
pumped as all In cold weather as 1t is
toe thick and sluggish demanding the
hot months Of summer TO facilitate
its movement.
The work now going on has given
employment to about 80 hands which
number will shortly be increased to
twice that number. A conservative
estimate of the improvements actual
" under way or In contemplation puts
the cost at about 100000;

1.-The above states which are
now reasonably certain for Bry-
an, with a certainty of gaining
steadily to the election, gives
two hundred and thirty-two cleo
toral votes, or eight more than
enough to elect.
1T will be noticed that in the
above table is not included the
States like Illinois, with "a votes;
Delaware with 8; Minnesota with
9; Michigan with IA; and Iowa
with 13. In these States Bryan's
chances are at least even. In
fact, if the election was to take
place tomorrow, it is almost Ger
tain that he would carry several
of these States, if not all of
them; and there is every indica-
ton that the silver sentiment
viii be stronger in these States
on the 3rd of November than at
present. Thus it viii be seen
that Bryan can be elected if all
of these central western states.
which are considered the fight
ing ground in the campaign
should go for Mckinley. If the
reaction against Hanna's Doodle
campaign continues, as it has set
in during the last ten days, Bry-
an will have votes to spare in
the electoral college. Today,
even Ohio is trembling in the
balance, and may go for Bryan
As we have said above, there is,
in fact, but one danger now, and
that is HanEa's efforts to try to
get dissensions on the joint cleo
toral tickets.
THE information received at
headquarters show that the labor
vote will probably vote more
unitedly this year than ever be-
fore. The efforts at coercion
and intimidation by the employ
ers was never greater than it is
this year, and the manhood of
the laboring man is now begin

Committee on Terri

Statehood Bills to Receive At
 tention.
The Pension Appropriation Taken Up as Soon as the House
 ConVenes.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Today the house committee on territories organ ized, Statehood bills were given given considerable attention and for their consideration frequent meetings will be held.
 It is thought that the Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma bills will be handled in alphabetical order.
 The house took up the pension ap- propriation bill on convening. MT Northway, Republican of Ohio, re- piled to the criticisms offered by Mr. Bartlett, Democrat of New York, yes- terday.
 The spirit in which the pension laws were being administered was mani festly unfriendly ito the soldiers. In proof of this he cited the case of a soldier who lost one arm and one leg who was deprived of his pension under the total disability act of 1890 be- cause he was able to earn $25 month as guard at railway crossing.
 The house committee on public lands have decided to favorably report the bill introduced by Representative Will son of Idaho to give twenty-five per cent of the proceeds of the mineral lands in public land states for the sup port of schools of mines.

He submitted to a newspaper interview in which he said he was here to dispose of an Anaconda mine for the Roihschilds.

DENVER, Colo, Jan. 14-An inven- tion utmost importance for the treat ment of the low grade ore of Cripple Creek, Boulder county and other telluride camps has been successfully demonstrated on a large scale by its inventors, H. R. Cassel and B. C.. Heinemlann of New York. A fifty ton mill has been erected at Boulder to test the process and an extremely high extraction has been obtained from SS ores.
 The mill is now in operation day and night and the process will open up i'm mense fields of low grade tellurides, hitherto considered unprofdable. The inventors use bromide, but recover it continuously at extremely low figures

IT WAS FALSE,
Czar Did Not Say He Concurred With
 the Views of Kaiser Wilhelm.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 14.-It is semi-officially stated that there is no foundation whatever for the alleged St. Petersburg dispatch cab1ed to the United States by news agency claim ing to furnish a substance of the czar's reply to the autograph letter from Emperor William It is not true that the czar told Prince Von Radolin, the German ambassador, that he entirely concurred in the views and aims of Emperor William, that the czar added that the German emperor could firmly rely on his support and the support of the states friendly to Russia, name ly France and the United States.
