Kansas City Journal.


Somebody asks the Congregatonalist
whether ministers should apply for vacant
pastorates, and the journal replies very
sensibly, at it seems to us 1T is no more
discreditabe for minister TO seek church
than for A church to seek a minister.
There is no doubt that 1t is more pleasing
to a mans vanity to be sought than to have
to seek, and besides, seeking costs time and
sometimes money But 1t seems to US that
about the most bigoted and foolish principle
Of management we ever heard came from a
college president, who declared that he made
il a point never to select a teacher who
were like a linotype and the best fitted per-
son were always delivered promptly at the
door of the position he was best fitted TO
hold, this principle would be all right But
there is no such providence as that. Men
must rustic, and managers ought to be
glad of it,

A GAS WELL SURPRISE
REVIVED GUsHER CHOKED Up WITH
SALT WATER AND OIL.
Fatal Fight Between Two HiIIsdaIe
Young SIen over a Sister of One
Other state News.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.


HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Jan. 6-Twelve
years ago the Citizens Gas Company drilled
in a gas well on the edge of the city limits.
The original pressure was $50 pounds. Sew
eral years ago oil began to show and finally
the oil and salt water cut off the gas en-
tirely. For a time the well was entirely
lifeless so far as gas is concerned and yes
terday it was shot with sixty quarts of
ntroglycerine. A good flow OF gas was the
result and the company was elated. as it
was believed it had been restored to the
former vigor This morning the flow of gas
had ceased and it is supposed that the salt
water and oil had again choked off the gas.
This illustrates the theory of gas men that
salt water is the greatest enemy of the gas
field. The gas is still in abundance, but I'M
til some method is found to shut off the
water the supply IS in jeopardy.
