Whence all the lies sent by wire to
the press? Who manufactures these
falsehoods? How comes it that the
news gathering associations are so
grossly and constantly imposed upon,
when they have the means always at
hand of ascertaining the truth by ad-
dressing those upon the other side OF
given story or issue, and thus by
comparing notes prevent gross injustice
being done. The latest explosion OF
telegraphed untruth is the result OF
the emphatic letter of ex-Attorney
General MacVeagh. He feels called
upon in the cause of truth to say in an
open letter that the story that he re-
ceived a retaining fee of $4,000 from
Captain Carter, who agreed to pay him
the further sum of S5O,0OO is COM
plete fabrication, without the shadow
of truth about it. Every one in news
gathering knew just where to address
General MacVeagh, and in ten minutes
time the news man could have learned
the truth from him, and have spared
the public the infiiction of the lie. The
tide of falsehoods wired for publication
would seem to indicate a preference
for untruth, for the sake Of bringing
out denial and exposure, and thus null
tiplying the news items.

A Left-Handed Joke.

There are two sides TO joke" said
Smith the other day, as he smiled soft
ly to himself, "and whether you en-
joy the joke depends upon which side
you may happen to view it from.
''I was out in the country the other
day and I chanced to run across a
swimming hole where number of small
boys were in bathing, SO / sat down
by youth, for I went through the same
thing myself when I was a boy.
while | was watching them with
the vain wish that I might be boy
again, 1 noticed that one of the boys
was vastly amused about something,
but was trying to conceal his mirth
from hs companions.
There was a rail fence that ran
down to the waters edge dividing a
pasture in two. The fence made an
ideal clothes rack, fact that the boys
had taken advantage of.
'sOn the opposite side of the fence
were a number of cows. and I soon dis
covered that onesof them was making a
meal out of some of the clothes that
were hanging on the fence. When I
discovered what was going on the cow
had already chewed up a shirt and was
at work upon a pair of trousers.
'The boy was making frantic mo-
tions for me to keep quiet when I saw
a sudden look of horror pass over his
face.
Hold on there, gol dern ye!' he
yelled, as he dashed for the shore,
'them's my clothes you's chawin' up!'
eff was even So Tf was a Joke so
long as the boy thought that. the
clothes belonged to one of his COM
panions, but it ceased to be when he
discovered that he was the sufferer

vocation the year round somewhere,
and we might add everywhere, not ex-
cepting the country crossroads saloon,
the village town hamlet, as well as IN
congested populations. But it is non
sense to say that people interested IN
horticulture, agriculture and the ike
and solicitous for the betterment and
development of the resources of the
State cannot attend State, District ana
other expositions because 1t happens
that at the same time the baser eie-
ment sends its representatives, pot
withstanding the fact that they seldom
put in an appearance in the exposition
buildings, or concern themselves with
exhibits, competition and the object les
sons of well-conducted fair.
The subject is trite, but it becomes
new in the revived interest of the peo-
pie in State, District and County fairs,
and in the admitted steady broadening
and bettering Of the beneficial inf1u-
ences of these useful institutions. 1t
is well, therefore, that the actual facts
shall be known, and duly considered,
now that the fair season in the State
is about over, that generalities IN
charges, the old-time sweeping asser-
tions of untruth, and misconceptions
concerning the merits of agricultural
fairs, may be put aside, and the Whole
question of annual expositions be con-
sidered upon the upper plane Of TRUTH

of Dos PaloS.
The latter was in town to-day and
gave a Democrat reporter some inter-
esting information regarding the prop
erty controlled by the company. 1t
is in township II, range 10 east, and is
about twelve miles from Dos Palos,
which is the nearest railroad point.
Mr.. Vandiveer was the iirst to visit
that part of the country, and as he had
previously visited Oil City and ixreyen-
hagen, he at once perceived a striking
similarity between the formations at
those places and that which exists at
Wildcat Canyon. The same peculiar
formation lies to the west, while that
white shale, which is considered good
indication of OIL is found there as well
as in the more southern sections. And
the general appearance of the country
is almost identical with that of the oil
producing districts.
Some months ago Haraszthy was at
tracted to the Little Panoche country,
but forsook that for the Wildcat Dis
trict six miles north He organized his
company, sent experts into the field,
and now is almost ready to begin
drilling. another expert being on the
ground now to finally determine where
the we'll shall go down. There is a gen
eral impression that oil will be found
here in less than 1000 feet.
Regarding water this district is very
fortunate, according TO Mr.. Vandiveer.
Five miles below run one of the Miller
e. Lux bitches. One and half miles
above the property is a small spring
from which flows fine water. But the
most promising place for water is two
and a half miles west, aud consequent
ly above the property. The water comes
