DISMISSAL OF MISS HARRIET DAME.


Last Monday the Secretary of the Treasury
issued an order dismissing from the service
Miss Harriet 2. Dame, who had been n clerk
in the Department ever since tho close OF the
war. She received her appointment in recog-
milton of her noble services as an Army Nurse,
and to which work she gave four years of her
life, and counted neither peril nor hardship in
discharging her duty. She has always been
regarded as an unusually efficient clerk, and
though 81 years of age is as sprightly rs most
women Of so. Last year she slipped on an icy
pavement and fractured one of her legs She
recovered rapidly from this, but some months
later was knocked down by bicyclist and her
other leg fractured. She has been recovering
from this and expected to be at her work
again, when the cruel order came.
Senators Chandler and Gallngcr, of her
State, Immediately visited the Secretary, aud
tried TO secure revocation of the order. She
was living at Barnstead, n. H., when the gal
liant old I'd n. III. raised, and as IL num-
bered a host of her relatives. friends. ana
ncighbors, she volunteered TO accompany 1T to
the field, and staid with il four years, following
ii from camp TO camp, and into every battle 1T
fought during its long career. The good she
did was incalculable and the comrades OF the
regiment idolize her. They presented her
with handsome gold badge, and voted her
full member of their association. The veter-
ans of the Eighth, Twelfth. aud Eighteenth
Corps also elected her member OF their asso-
aud bestowed on her the right to wear
their badges The Legislature of New Hamp-
shire voted her the thanks of the Common
wealth and the sum of $500, which latter she
i'm med lately donated to a home for the veter-
ans of her regiment.

NEW AMBASSADOR.

First Assistant Secretary Uhl, Of the State
Department, has been chosen as successor to
thc late Mr.. Runy0n, Ambassador to Germany.
Mr. Uhl first came into National prominence
with the incoming Of the present Administra-
ton. Previous to that time he had achieved a
reputation a lawyer in Michigan. In poll
ties he had always been Democrat, and was
at one time Mayor of the thriving city of
Grand Rapids.
As First Assistant Secretary Of State Mr.
Uhl has frequently been called uron to assume
the entire burden of the administration of for.
eign affairs during the absence or disability Of
the Secretary Of State, aud SO it appears that
his name often appears signed to so many i'm
poTtant state papers.

Two thousand years these temples have been old.
Yet were they not more lovely the first day.
When DER yon bills the young light bIushcd and

Along those tapcrng columns, and ewes gold

While men and creeds aud Kingdoms pass away
Their gift TO charm aud awe they calmly hold.
Beauty and TRUTH BY that high grnce divine
They force the tribute of the vassal year..

And shames nil other things, here can but bless

NEW OIL WELLS STRUCK.
This Year Promises to he the Biggest
in the Indiana Field.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
MONTPEL1ER, Ind, Jan. 23.-The Indi-
ana oil field is certainly on a genuine oil
boom. This will be the great year of the
field; at least, such is the outlook at the
present time. During the past year the bor-
ders of the old producing districts were ex-
tended and several promising new districts
We're discovered, which will be the most
active spots for the time being, or until
some more prolific spot is found by the
"wild-catter," who is responsible for the
opening Of new pools. Maj. Charles T..
Doxey is very enthusiastic over the oil BUSH
ness and wants to get control of the pro-
duction of the State. There are thousands
of acres of good territory in the State that
the drill has not found and plenty to keep
the drill a-going for years 10 come. The
Berline Oil and Gas Company struck
prise on the w. NJ. Twible farm, in Section
3. Chester township, Wells county. 1t is
good for LIS barrels day. s. w. Taits
same township, is good for thirty barrels.
The Comet OIL Company's No. 3, on the G..
.. Shull farm, Section 20, same township,
Is good for twenty-five barrels. Rowland,
Ziegler & Co. have fininshed a Sixty-Darrel
we'll on the j. Griffith farm, Section 2, jack
section a forty-fve-barrel we'll has been
completed ON the Lew Huffman farm by
the Echo OIL Company. Another we'll com
pleted the same farm is only good for
ten barrels. The Ohio Oil Company's well
on the H. Wilfroth farm, Section 4, Wash
ington township. Blackford county, is a
twenty-barrel producer. Frank Waring COM
pleted very light we'll on the B. Becker
farm, Section 80, Nottingham township,
Wells county.
