Paris, Aug. Ign. Joseph Lasies, an
ti-semite and anti-revisionist member
of the chamber of deputies and NJ Mas
sard, manager of the Patrie, held
consultation today with Premier Wal
deck Rousseau's secretary in behalf Of
NJ. Guerin, president of the anti-semite
league, who with sympathizers has
been barricaded since Saturday in the
offices of the league regarding terms
under which the latter would surren-
der.
The secretary said it was essential
that the law should be upheld but that
the government was as anxious as the
mediators to effect a bloodless arrest.
Further conferences on the subject
have been arranged.
Crowds of people continue to watch
M Guerin's barricade over which the
anti-semitic banner still waves.

Henry Clews praises the action of
Secretary Gage in resuming the issu-
ance of gold certificates. IF" says his
weekly circular, AN inexperienced man
had now been secretary OF the treas
ury instead of a good business man.
hence a practical hnancier, we would
have run into a currency famine this
fall, resulting in a serious disaster. The
recent decision of Secretary Gage in
authorizing the issue of gold certificates
has, In all probability, saved the bust
ness interests of the country from
a bad setback Yet, as g mat
ter of fact the issuance of gold
certificates does not increase the
volume of money in the country a dol
lar. It merely places some of it in more
convenient form for moving about.

FINDS ARTEsIAN WELL.
Discovered on a Farm in Dickinson

LFrom the Abilene Rehector.1

[From the Abilene Refiector1
A remarkable we'll has been discover
ed on the farm of A Bohannon of Ridge
township, twelve miles south and three
miles east of Abilene. Mr.. BOhannOn
had had some difficulty in securing good
water supply and sent for a profession
al from Elmo to bore a we'll on his
farm. The work went on until Friday
when the drill was down about "a feet
Then vein of water was struck and
rose so fast in the well that the tools
were removed and in few minutes the
water had reached the surface and was
bubbling out a six inch stream, a
veritable artesian we'll the first one
ever known in this county or in central
Kansas.
Mr.. Bohannon tried to confine the
water but the force was so great that it
spurted high in the air and the attempt
was abandoned. He is arranging to uti-
lie the flow and will probably have an
arteslan lake near his house with the
clear water from the well also forced
through pipes into all his buildings. 1t
is a remarkable find and attracts much
attention.

The Jersey Lily is preparing for an
other tour of the United States. She
has begun by making an excellent hit
in the way of advance advertising,
which consists in marrying a man elev-
en- years her junior by her own confess
siOn-Mrs. Langtry, that was owns up
to SO summers. The example set by
Patti has not been lost upon the theat-
rical world. The style of advertising
inaugurated by the diva may be more
expensive than the old one of losing
diamonds, but is likely to prove more
effective, besides it puts one in the way
of getting a divorce later on. and thus
scoring twice on one investment.

REFLECTIONS OF a BACHELOR

From the New York Press.1
We mostly repent only when we have
to.
Children are the links that hold
many a weak marriage chain together.
If a man could take a new wife every
time he wanted a divorce probably he
would never want to do either.
To fall in love with a woman you
can't marry is safe enough, but it's
even more uncomfortable than being
married to a woman you can't love-
1t is a saying that if girls saw more
of men before getting engaged there
would be more happy marriages, but
probably there wouldn't be any mar
riageS at all.
