Havoc In Oil Fields,

Fostoria, O., April 20.-The storm of
this afternoon caused great havoc
among the derricks in the oil field west
of the city. Albert Robinette, Lewis
and John Heccathorne took refuge in
a derrick, which blew over on them,
burying Robinette in the wreckage.
His companions got him out and found
that he was badly injured. His in
juries are serious and may prove fatal.
His companions received numerous
painful injuries, but none of them are
expected to prove serious.
The city of Tiffin lost FIVE derricks,
two on the Lampright and three on
the Stout farms. One of the latter
was over the big we'll struck SATURDAY. y
and the wreckage broke the lead lines
running to the tanks, causing a large
amount of oil to flow on the ground be
fore new connections could be made
The Boneset schoolhouse, short dis
tance north of these derricks, wa.
blown down and the teacher, Miss
Belle Norris, had her arm broken.

In order to ensure success in Arctic
exploration it is essential that there
should, if possible, be a continuity of
coast line. The total absence of known
land in the neighborhood of Behring's
Strait, renders exploration in that
quarter undersira BILE until, at any rate,
other directions have been attempted
1t was the sudden termination of land
on either side of Smith Sound, that is
to say land trending in a northerly di-
rection, that prevented Mares from at
tanning an even higher latitude than
that reached by his travelling parties
Had Sir Edward Parry been sledging
along coast line instead of forcing
his way through moving and broken
up pack. he would assuredly have
reached position nearer to the pole
than the one he gained The great
desideration therefore in selecting q
route for Polar exploration, is the pres
ence of land trending to the north
ward So long as this can be found,
so sure is it that it's northern termina-
tion, however far it may be situated,
will be reached. This particular con-
dition, so far as we know to the con-
trary, is to be found in Franz Josef
Land. for Lieutenant Payer has stated
that he saw high land to the north of
the position which he reached, and
which he estimated must have been
situated in latitude SO deg, and from
the confiagration of the land thus seen,
taken in connection with the nature of
the coast along which he was travel
ing, it is more than probable that
Franz Josef Land extends consider
able distance beyond the furthest land
that has yet been discovered. Taking
all things into consideration, it seems
to me more than likely that, when the
North Polar Problem is solved-and
solved it assuredly will be-the solu-
ton of it will be found in the direction
of Franz Josef Land. North American

Restrain the "scorchsr.v

Nearly every body has had more or
less narrow escape from collision with
bicycle which was being ''scorched"
over the street AS the bicycle season
is now upon us, and as the following
from the Columbus Dispatch expresses
our views exactly, we reprint it in its
entirety:
Bicycles may be both benefit and
convenience, or they may be a nuis-
ance, or they may be an actual menace
to public safety. 1t depends altogether
upon the degree of common sense and
common decency exhibited by the
riders The serious accident to a
young lady on Franklin ave. as related
in our news columns last night, makes
| it pertinent to read wheelmen lecture
upon the use and abuse of their privi-
l1eges,, for the pleasant weather has
brought thousands, Of machines from
their winter retirement and has afford
ed an example of what may be expect,
ed during the coming summer and fall
months The accident mentioned is
but the first of many which certainly
will follow unless wheelmen exercise
proper precautions.
1t may be promised that ''scorchers"
have no possible rights upon the streets
of this city. They are constant dam
ger to men, women and children, as
we'll as to those more sensible wheel
men who ride at moderate pace.
They should be suppressed; gently and
with moral suasion if possible, forcibly
and with policeman's big, hard club
if necessary. That is what ought To be
done with the young would-De athletes
who use the streets of Columbus for
''scorching" purposes, and it ought to
be done right away. For the benefit of
the uninitiated it may be explained
that 'scorching" is the process by
which wheelman lowers his head un-
til he cannot see in front of him, and
then dashes onward as fast as his feet
can make the pedals 60.
Wheelmen who ride at a proper pace
and respect the prior rights of pedes-
trians will welcome any stringent en-
forcement of law that will protect
them, as we'll as the walking public,
from the insidious but dangerous at
tack of the ''scorcher." They, too,
have privileges in the thoroughfares of
the city. They should be protected
from the maliciousness or carelessness
of drivers of horses, and should be per-
mitted to ride unmolested whether for
business or pleasure, but they should
remember that at all times the claims
of pedestrians come first.
| A decent respect for the safety of
mankind, and an unselfsh observance
of the privileges of others should teach
all bicyclers what to do and what not
to do. Some of them, however, appar-
emily will not be taught, for which rea-
son few judicious examples should be
made of the ''scorchers" in order to
prevent a succession of accidents in
the months to come. a-f'nt'

HAD HIS NERVE.
Tramp Tried to steal a Little Child
Saturday Evening.

Tramp Tried to steal Little Child
Saturday Evening.
Early Saturday evening the little
child of Mr.. and Mrs. Tim Penweil,
who live on Catharine street, near
Main, was playing on the front porch
drunk came along, and picking it up
started to walk off with it. Mrs. PEN
we'll and some other ladies who were
nearby at the time made such racket
that the fellow took the child back,
put It on the porch and then lay down
on the porch and went to sleep.
Shortly after this Mr.. Penwell came
home and his wife told him what had
happened and that the tramp was ly-
ing on the porch asleep. Most anyone
would get pretty hot about such a
thing and Tim was no exception. /, He
went out on the porch, picked the, ,fel-
low up, threw him out o in the street
and jumped on him.T 1t is safe to say
that particular tramp will not soon at
tempt to take another little one.
There is considerable complaint
among the residents of that portion of
the town on account of policeNprotec-
tion. 1t is said that there has not been
policemen down in that part of the
city for SO long that no one can remem-
ber Of eyer having seen one there =

Lowell Church Case.

EDITOR LEADER:-Last week brief
article appeared in your paper concern
ing Lowell Christian Church.
The writer got things mixed. His
article contains number of misstate-
ments which we ask space to correct.
1st, Rev. o. w. Kile, not s. c. Kile,
up to today, April 18th, has filed no in
junction.
end, The article states that S. c.
Kile (meaning Rev. o. W. Kile) is the
'pastor in charge" This is not true.
Rev. S. c. Pierce is the pastor in
charge" He is the only one employed
and sanctioned by the Official Board.
Under the employ and sanction of said
Board he has preached about one-half
of his present year. This is his fifth
year with the church.
Sd, Said article alleges that D. w.
Sprague and others were illegally
chosen trustees. This is untrue. Due
notice was given by the officers of the
church for the election of trustees.
Both parties had candidates in nomina-
ton. When the ballots were counted
ont it was found that D. W. Sprague
and H. Viking were elected by good
majority. Hence, they were legally
chosen by the church.
4th, Recently the defendants named
in the petition nailed up the doors and
windows of the church, but at the
usual hour for services Rev. Kile ap-
peared and drawing out the nails en-
tered the building and preached TO the
congregation as had been his custom.
The same episode was repeated for
several Sundays. Finally Rev. Kile
was arrested for breaking into the
church and was bound over to court"
The truth of the matter is this: The
windows were nailed down and the
door fastened by a paddock on Sunday
afternoon, March Goth, after Rev. Kile
had preached, the board of officers pub
licly objecting. The objections were
made by an elder in the presence of
the audience assembled. Rev. Kile ap-
peared on Sunday evening to preach
but found the door locked and the win
dows secured. He did not gain admis.
sion that night, neither has he preach
ed in the house since March Goth. On
the afternoon of Thursday, April I'd,
Rey. Klle and son came to the church
and entered by window. They re-
moved the regular lock from the inside
of the door, then came out of the win
dow and removed the paddock. When
they went away the silver communion
set and both locks were missing.
5th, The said article states that Rev.
Kile was arrested for breaking into
the church. This is not true; he was
arrested for disturbing the peace of
the church on March Goth, and disre-
garding church authority.
9th, ''Rev. Kile claims he is backed
by the regularly elected Board of Trus-
tees and fully justified in his action. "
This is false claim When he files
his injunction the facts in the case will
come to light. ID. w. SPRAGUE.
