report from the oil fields at present
There is considerable work being done
in the fields, but very little CT it is Of
any Importance.
The Fisher Oil Company's No. 1, on
the /. N. Hawkins lease, which has

tro1ne north of the old development in
the southwest extension Of the
Elk Fork field, mas been completed
and will be good for about 600 barrels

of the sand it started to flow at about
40 barrels an hour, but has since declin-
ed to % barrels, and is holding UP at
that amount.
The same company's No. 7, on the
same lease, and No 10, were cased with
the 69s easing yesterday and should be

From the State Canital.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Feb. g, 1897.
Well, another week has passed in
legislative history. Yesterday the much
talked-of and long considered ''fellow-
servant bill'' passed the senate. 1t
had no votes to spare on first ballot.
In fact, opponents TO the measure-all
republicans-offered amendments de-
signed to defeat the original bill, and
by dilatory motions to adjourn, sought
to delay action, but there were enough
stayers to force vote, and eighteen
just the majority required under the
constiiution-voted for the house bill
as it came to the senate. Two others,
Burkhead and Orchard, who failed to
vote on first call, had their votes re-
corded in favor of the bill, making 20
to I. Some democrats wiggled little,
as did Senator Brewster, republican,
saying they doubted the wisdom of the
measure, but as their people favored it,
they would vote for it, both republican
and democratic state platforms having
endorsed fellow-servant legislation.
The writer believes in that eminent
and well authenticated teaching, ''In
a multitude of counsel there is safety"
and as it is good democratic doctrine,
are disposed to observe the principal.
The fact that all fellow servants are
not included in its provisions does not
argue that it Is special legislation.
Railroad corporations are in fact very
large class in themselves, and the num-
Der of employees and dangers to the
twenty-five thousand operatives in
Missouri make them peculiarly the sub
iect for state legislation. However,
other bills are pending on the fellow
servant question, and may become
laws, but it is rs difficult to conceive
of system of laws governing all cor
porations justly and wisely, as suit of
clothes to fit giants and boys.
The two-cent railroad fare rate and
freight reduction bills will pass the
house, but will not pass the senate, in the
writer's judgment, Railroads, like III
dividuals, under the present financial
policy, are not prosperous in Missouri,
and two reduction hicks at the same
time might result seriously to the sys-
TEN.
The bill giving the control of Con-
federate Home to the state will, we be-
lieve, become law; and as the board
of managers are to be selected from
the association, it will continue in the |
hands of its friends.
There is another bill establishing the |
St. James Home for aged and decrepit !,
honorably discharged federal soldiers. :
1t may not be generally known that
every state home for this class of de-
pendents gets one hundred dollars per /

The Salvation Army, Under the Personal
Supervision of Gen. Booth, to Establish
Social Settlements.
CHICAGO, Feb. s.-Chicago is to be
made the center of a vast system of So
cial settlements, similar to that in
operation in England, organized and
made famous by Gen. Booth, of the
Salvation army. Its boundaries are to
be the limits of the United States and
its object the solution of the national
pauper problem. Arrangements have
been made whereby Gen. Booth is to
come to Chicago and personally direct
the Inauguration of the movement.
He will apply the practical knowledge
of such work CLEANED in the principal
cities of the world to the establishment
of system of city colonies, where at
least temporary work will be offered
every idle man in the city; will place
spacious tenement houses under the
supervision of the army, and later will
extend the movement to form colonies
within a radius of several hundred
miles from the city. Eventually the
movement will include the whole coun-
try, and will be operated from Chicago.

annum capita from the federal govern
ment, and that every pensioner in such
home must allow two-thirds of it to go
towards support of the institution. The
st. James Home, by being adopted as
state eleemosynary institution, will
therefore get substantial and from an
other source in caring for dependent
class who are liable to become n charge
on the bounty of local governments.
Many bills, very trivial in nature and
purpose, appear on the roll coming
from the house, and others, more so,
have been introduced. One member
introduced bin to prevent conductors
and brakemen from talking to ladies
on the train. Another had q bill to
give the blacksmith shoeing a horse a
lien on the animal. Another proposes
to make blacksmiths register and
secure apprenticeship examinations.
Another designs to make the medium
sack of tlour-now 4S pounds-con-
tain 40 pounds.
1t is funny to see to what extent
some people would extend the arm of
paternalism in code of laws. How
to butter bread; a school for wood
choppers; an uniform system of barns,
and barn-building state commits
sionPr-will be next in order All men
were not born statesmen.
1t has been quite gay around the
capital. SOcials are frequent, and the
governors receptions are occasions of
general entertainment. We have spent
several evenings at the home of your
fellow citizen, Secretary of State
Lesueur, and made the acquaintance of
his interesting household and enjoyed
their entertainment. Mr.. Lesueur is
one of the best state officers, has done
much to perfect the system OF his
Office, and his familiarity with state
affairs and state interests makes hun
a useful man about the capital.
Gov. Stephens starts off well, and
will make Missouri q strictly business
administration, the writer predicts.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Feb. 6.-The

Afar in the twilight OF nature,
When torrents swept with their brigh

For their verdure is tinged by Its magic;
And when summer fades from the scene,

For nature imparts these her secrets,
Just hint and a veil thrown between,
As the coarse gravel hideth the diamond,
And smooth shaft, the rough ashler hath
been.
And riches will crown the explorer
Who delves for the metal unseen,
For the silver that is so abundant,
In the country where rolls the Sixteen.
As watched the bald eagle above me,
Soaring grandly DER the wild scene,

Had been caught his feathers between.

What all this unfolding should mean,
L saw that it was the reflection

Ever onward through sunshine serene,
