CADIZ, o., Oct. 9.-At the well on
the E. Thompson farm, two miles
north of Cadiz, very heavy flow of
gas was struck in the salt sand at a
depth of 900 feet.
The National Oil Company's No. II
is making 80 barrels day. No. Is will
soon be in.
In the Jewett field several small pro-
ducers have been added to the list of
wells, and work is becoming more ac-
tive, as the outlook for water is bet
ter.
In the Rowerston field, in Monroe
township, several wells are due, and
others are being located, but scarcity
of water has made drilling very slow
work
In undeveloped sections of the coun-
try there Is but little activity since oil
has begun its downward course. 1t Is
just one year since the famous Bricker
gusher was struck. Many thousands
OF dollars have poured into this sec
ton since then that would have gone
elsewhere. but for the lucky strike.

MORMON ELDERS ATTACKED.
They Are Roughly Used In Hungary, Where
They Were Seeking Converts.

A dispatch from Vienna says that
two Mormon elders sent from Salt Lake
City to Hungary to secure proselytes
to their faith were attacked by an audi
ence late last month, who drove them
from the hall in which they were speak
ing. ducked one in pond and severely
beat the other. The minister of the In
terror has prohibited further Mormon
attempts to engage in proselytism IN
the Austro-H Hungarian empire, as the
government regards it as danger to
the wellbeing of the state.
1t will be remembered that about ~
years ago our secretary of state sent
letter to all the diplomatic representa-
tives of this government In Europe pro-
testing against their permitting Nor
mon missionaries to make converts IN
those countries and to send them TO
Utah, where they were liable to all the
penalties of the criminal law for en-
bracing the polygamous practices or
the Mormon religion.
This circular had the effect for some
years to restrain the ardor of the Nor
mons in their missionary work, partlc-
ularly in Great Britain, Germany and
Scandinavia. The work had been at
tended with great success. 1t was es-
timated in 1880 that there were 50,0OO
Mormons in the Protestant lands Oh
Europe. A great many of the younger
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1900-12-15

and more active disciples of the faith
emigrated to the United States and
added strength to the Utah church.
Mormon missionary work abroad was
practically suspended during the years
Of conflict with the authorities In our
country. Since, however, the church
as whole has yielded to the inevitable
and ceased the practice Of polygamy.
A large number Of Mormon missiona-
ries have again been sent to Europe.
Their labors have been fruitful in add
ing thousands Of converts to their
church, not few of whom came to this
country to join the Mormon settlements
in the west. With polygamy elimina-
ted, European governments have not
seen fit to interfere with the proselyt-
ing zeal Of the missionaries until this
late day, when Austria Hungary has
at last taken steps to stop the Nor
mon teachers who have been energett-
cally preaching their faith in the en-
pire.
The Mormons have made a deep i'm
preston upon the minds of consider
able number Of European peasantry.
They have never been able, however, to
make important progress among the
Catholics, who are firmly grounded In
their faith and trust so implicitly IN the
priests that the persuasive talent OF
the Mormon emissaries has had little
effect upon them.

TIT FOR TAT-A wearied Clevelander
stepped from a train at Pittsburg the
other morning at an early hour and
rushed into the depot lunch-room to
get breakfast. He was extremely tired
from a long ride and consequently not
in the best of moods.
What do you want?" snarled one of
the waiter girls. She had get-up-too-
soon expression on her face and spoke
savagely.
"a little courteous treatment" re-
sponded the traveller.
1--WE don't keep it here" rejoined the
girl.
II thought So" was the laconic reply
of the Clevelander. "Give me some
regular eggs.'
1--WE only keep fresh eggs" replied
the girl.
Everything fresh around here?" in
quired the Clevelander.
YES" she hissed through her teeth
II thought So" the traveller replied
AS the traveller ate his breakfast ir
silence he wondered who had the best
of the skirmish. From the look on the
girls face, she too, was pondering ovel
the same question.-Cleveland Leader

MILLIONS IN IT.-Representative Lam
dis, Of Indiana, did a good dead of
speaking through the West during the
campaign. In one town, while he was
at the hotel waiting to take the train,
a little man came into the room and
asked for a private interview. Lands
thought he had some political infor-
nation OF value and "shooed out" the
other people.

visitor.
"Well?" inquired Lands.
"It is to prevent hydrophobia."
"Well?'
There is millions in it!'
"Well?"
"In give you a share If you will get
congress to adopt it as the official hy-
