NEWsPAPER's DEPENDENCE.

The size of a newspaper cannot be
determined by the extent of territory
it is intended to cover. There are
small communities which support fair
ly large sheets, and there are big towns
where little publications \ starve for
want of financial nourishment. The
life of a newspaper depends wholly
upon the character of it's constituency.

1t goes without saying that the Dem
ocracy of no state can pledge it's united
strength to anything, for there is not
a state in the union in which it is unit
ed upon anything. The factions of
that party can only be healed at the
pie counter and that is closed against
them for years.

There will be some kicking at the
effects of the wind upon the corn and
cotton crops of the state but it does
not count. The real damage, if it
amounts to anything, will be in lodging

the benefit of the storm far outweigh
any small destruction that accompan-
led 1t. San Antonio is all right. Sure.

FEDERATION OF LABOR.
Call for Seventeenth Annual COnven-
ton Issued by Samuel GOmpers.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-President Sam
uel Gompers, by Frank Morrison, secre-
tary, has issued call to all affiliated
unions for the seventeenth annual conven-
ton of the American Federation of Labor,
which begins at Nashville, Tenn, Dec. 13
next The call makes a strong plea for a
full attendance of workingmen at this con-
vention, and states that no convention in
recent years has been called on to deal with
more momentouS questions than confront
the workers of to-day. Owing to the dis
lance, the expense of attendance may be
somewhat greater than usual and owing
to the severe drains that affiliated organi-
cations have sustained in recent years,
there may be desire to husband resources
is said to be mistaken economy, and Or
gaiizations are earnestly warned against it.
The objects of the convention are, in part,
thus set out in the call:
1.-The seventies of the industrial Stagna-
ton of the past four years have not yet
been abated; the wrongs from which the
workers suffer have not been righted; the
injustice imposed on our people remains
unremedied; the overworked large mass
and the unemployed many are still testi-
mony to the folly of our age; the employ
ment of children in our factories and work
shops, though modified fingers with
still, and the spectacle is witnessed of idle
men and laboriouSly busy children, legiSla-
lures more concerned with the privileges
with public assemblage and free speech in
vaded, threatened or forbidden, and the
modern judicial weapon of Injunction uti-
liZed in the effort to crush labor. These
rights and wrongs and others of equal i'm
portance, but too numerous for reference
here must of necessity be considered by
the forthcoming convention, and such ac-
ton devised as shall tend to attain the one
and set aside the other"

OIL IN oAss COUNTY.
LoGanspOrt Capital beginning to In
vest I'm OIL stock.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
LOGANSPORT, Ind, Oct 49, - Probably
no city in the State is more deeply interest
ed in watching the development of the In
diana oil fields than Logansport, for every
resident not only hopes, but believes, that
the day is not far distant when Cass county
will be as thickly dotted with derricks and
paying wells as the adjoining county of
Miami. While the oil excitement in this
county has not reached the fever heat which
prevails in Peru, there is still faith in oil
here that will give substantial backing to
the movement for testing the field. AT nearly
every small town in the county oil COM
panes have either been organized or are
perfecting plans for organization. AT New
Waverly, nine miles east of this city, on
the Wabash Railroad the drill is already al
capital stock of $1,000, has been organized.
The company has leased two thousand acres
in the county and this week the contract for
the drilling of five wells was let to Ed
Harms, of Bowling Green, o., the location of
the wells to be determined on later Should
the we'll at New Waverly prove a paying
one when it comes in the LOgansport COM
pany will probably begin work east of the
city. Oil has been found at Royal Center,
twelve miles northwest of here, and the fact
that in the Miami county field the wells
west of Peru are stronger than those in the
eastern part Of the city is taken as evidence
that the belt lies in this direction While the
LoganSport Oil Company will not at once
drill a well in the immediate vicinity of the
city the matter will be tested here in the
near future by private enterprise. Matthias
Schneeberger. a prominent liVeryman of the
city, has announced his intention of drilling
a well of his lots in the city. The
outcome of his experiment will be watched
with interest.

Spirits Locate an Oil Well.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
PORTLAND, Ind, Oct. 19-Solomon
Perry, an oil OPERATOR is drilling wild
cat' we'll in Wabash township, this county,
which he firmly believes will be a wonder
full producer. Perry claims that the well
was located for him by the spirits. AT the
time the location was selected Perry and
medium went over the field carrying
trumpet and the voices from the other
world kept telling them to move on until
they came to this certain SPOT. A few days
later the machinery was set and work be-
gan. Ben Fulton, the oil and gas witch, who
has certain queerly constructed instruments
by which he claims to locate veins of oil
and gas, went over the same territory, but
does not agree with the spirits on the To-
cation although at another place they were
in accord Oil men in general are watching
developments at the Perry well with some
interest not because of the way it was To-
Gated but by reason Of its being in practi-
cally new territory.

LETTERS OFFERING BRIDES.
Alleged Attempt to Purchase the Jury
at $133.33 Per Man.

at $133.33 Per Man.
CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-two letters, offering
brides to the foreman of the jury in the
Luetgert case have been received by Judge
TuthilI and are now in the possession Of
the states attorney. The amount is $1,000.
Both letters are signed George Atrill.
States Attorney Deenen is not disposed
to regard the attempted bribery seriously,
but Inspector Setback and Assistant
States Attorney McEwen look upon the
matter with suspicion. Tho first letter was
received last Monday morning. II was
dated Oct. &C. the day on which it was
originally believed the case would go to
the jury. 1t reads:
Mr. Foreman: powerful influence is
at work to save Adolph l.. Luetgert. Money
is scarce, and in these hard times a $lOO or
so comes in handy. have $l,6cO to divide
among you twelve men. If you want 1T
have two good men, smooth-faced, that
are discreet at the southeast corner of
Randolph and Dearborn streets tomorrow
at / o'clock p. m. Let them wear white
linen neckties, or If they prefer, red bow
ties. Everything will be all right. The
money is secure in a Clark street bank.
GEORGE ATRILL."
The second is under date of Oct. Is. and Is
also addressed to the foreman of the Luet-
CERT jury. 1t is as folows:
Dear Sir-Why did you not have the
young men at the southeast corner of Ran
OOipn anu dearborn streets dS SuSSSSlSO.
In the present hard times 500 is pretty
useful If you will agree to vote I4uetgert
free, we can yet arrange matters. Send
the young men tomorrow.
GEORGE ATRILL"
Judge Tuthin opens all mail of Jurors, and
in this way these letters fell into his
hands His Honor is inclined to regard the
letters as a hoax, as is Mr.. Deenen. In
fact, the states attorney thinks the letters
were got up by enterprising newspaper
reporters. Both letters were written on
fine linen paper, in good penmanship and
inclosed in white envelopes.
