The taste our natives have for liquor
is unexplainable, but one dusky maiden
has vowed vengeance on our worthy
postmaster. After she had devoured
the contents of a flask Of goose grease
which had been left out to cool, he
consoled her by laughing. and as she
doubled up like a birthday doughnut
he refused to get her even one small

WADSW0RTH DISPATCH.
JANUARY Il, 1900
FRIDAY
American German Marriages.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Marriages.
One American who went to Ger
many to get married had to stay there
four months before he could get the
necessary papers from home, to com
ply with German marriage laws. AS a
warning to prevent others getting caught
in the same box. the u. S. CONNER
cial agent at Hamberg, sent the follow
ing list Of the papers an American cit
izen must have to get married in Ger
many: Certificate showing American
citizenship; certificate from the author
tiles Of the State in which he resides,
which must be verified by the German
Ambassador or a German Consul, that
that they know Of no legal reason why
the marriage should not take place; Of
fetal certificate Of birth, certified by
German officials; If the bride Is a rela-
tive. proof Of such consanguinity is no
impeachment to the marriage at his
American home: If previously married,
proof Of wlfe's death or records of d.
vorce. to be officially verified by a Ger
man consular officer in America. 1t
would seem that Americans seeking
German brides would save time and
trouble by having them come over here
to get married.

Fortunes in Oil.

The discovery of petroleum in
Southern California has opened up
an industry that bids fair to eclipse
in money making chances the gold
excitement of 1S49. Hundreds of
men have become immensely rich by
investing in oil stocks and oil lands.
The industry is still in it's infancy
and those who are wise enough to
invest in oil stocks (of good compan-
ies) will realize immense profits.
The Sunset Petroleum and Rein
ing Company is d corporation COM
posed of the leading moneyed men
of the state, and offers its stock at
10 cents per share, par value $1.00,
fully paid up and non assessable.
They are drilling we'll No. l, and
will have oil within two weeks, when
they will Immediately commence
drilling on we'll No. 2 and so on rap

A Mother Tells How She Saved Her
Little Daughters Life.

l am the mother of eight children
and have had great deal of exper-
fence with medicines. Last summer
my little daughter had the dysentery
in its worst form. We thought she
would die. I tried everything 1
could think of, but nothing seemed
to do her any good. 1 saw by an
advertisement in our paper that
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy was highly rec
commended, and sent and got a bot
tie at once. 1t proved to be one of
the very best medicines we ever had
in the house. It saved my little
daughters life. [ am anxious for
every mother to know what an excel
lent medicine it is. Had I known
it at first it would have saved me a
great deal of anxiety and my little
daughter much suffering.-Yours

TRADE CONDITIONS.
r. q. Dun's Monthly Review for July
in Southern California.

General trade conditions through
out the country still favor the
buyer Fall demand is below that
of a year ago, but there is conf
dence that orders will increase as
the season advances. Belief that
the downward swing in prices is
reached makes the seller cautious
and inclined to hold commodities.
The crop situation on the whole is
better. Bank clearings for July are
the lowest for two years, but gross
earnings for railroads will show
gains. Home money markets are
easy and foreign commerce shows
another heavy balance in our favor.
On uuirrigated lands corn and
beans in many localities are If
redeemably scorched. The grape
harvest has been fastened and new
crop of citrus fruits advanced.
Both early and late oranges have
been profitable. The summer crop
of lemons is large and in fine con-
dition. The demand is active and
grower readily markets at $3.50 to
50 per box, f. o. b.
Peaches and prunes have not
yielded sufficiently to supply local
demand. The sugar campaign will
begin at Oxnard September Is.
The walnut crop promises we'll
and is of good quality. Output
estimated at 500 carloads.
Grapes ripened early this year.
The raisin crop is reported one-third
short, owing to damage to vines by
red spider
Locally trade is ahead of last yeal
in most lines, and little complaint is
heard. There were eighteen fail.

tiles of $4,000; assets, So, 800. Thi,

Where Pythian Order Was Born.

The Knights of Pythias of Calu-
met, Mich, are figuring on the pur-
chase and removal to Calumet of
building which probably has great
er interest to Pythians as such than
any other structure in existence,
says the Chicago Record. This is
nothing more nor less than the old
school house in which Justin H.
Rathbcne, the founder of the order,
wrote the ritual of what was des-
tined to become one of the most
popular secret orders in the United
States.
The school house still stands in
little village of Eagle Harbor, some
Is miles north OF Calumet and near
ly at the tip OF the Keweenaw pen
insula. In early days when the activ-
ity of its copper mines in the i'm
mediate vicinity made Eagle Harbor
something more than the hamlet. it
is now, the father of the Pythians
was school teacher and while not
engaged in an attempt to inject
wisdom into the minds of the pu-
pills conceived the idea of a society
the friendship of whose members
should be like unto the friendship
which existed between Damon and
Pythias He carried out his con-
ceptiOn and in his leisure wrote the
ritual Of the order. Having no bet
ter place to perform the work he
did il at his desk in the little school
house. Title to it is held by man
named Kuntz, a resident of Harbor,
who offers to sell it for 5000. 1t is
probable that the negotiations now
under way will lead to its falling in
to the hands of those who will full
ly appreciate it on account of its as
sociations Moved to Calumet and
restored to something like its form
er conditions it will become more
valuable historically as time goes
on and an object of great interest to
all members Of the order who may
visit the place.
Fifteen miles off the railroad and
inaccessible as it is now it is still
visited by hundreds of Pythians ev.

Received by 1.-The Chicago, st. Paul,

The Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis &

der was delivered yesterday. The new
locometives~weighe 12o tons each and have
cylindrical measurements zUx26 inches.
Three are for passenger and three for
freight service. The total cost Of the
new equipment Isl 100000 These locomo-
tives are of the same pattern as several
which have done excellent service for the
road for three years, past.
The st. Paul & Duluth has also re-
ceiYed three new passenger locomotives
ofsethe Vaulain-Atlantic type, which are
now being broken in at the Gladstone
shops. They were received. last week and
were set up under the direction Of Supt.
Brooks. The first to be completed was
taken out for trial spin yesterday. The
results were very satisfactory, though
better speed and smoother running quail
ties will develop, in the estimation of the
superintendent, when they are thoroughly
worked down. The new engines are
models of solidity and are larger than
any ever before used on the line. They
will go into service between st. Paul and
the head of the lakes, and the contract
specifications require that they develop a
speed of eighty-five miles an hour. The
total cost Of the three is said to have
been $47, 000

Disagreement+of Great Northern and
Employees Not Serious.
Vice President d. Miller. of the Great
Northern, stated last night that he ex-
pected no trouble from the employees of
the road over existing difficulties. Asked
for a statement Of the cause Of the disa-
greement, he said that the men objected
to distributing their freight trains at ter
minals. After, completing the days run.
the road expects the men to set out the
cars composing their trains on switches.
This is paid for when the length of the
run Is 100 miles, or the run has occupied
ten hours, by overtime, the men receiving
an hours pay for each hour or fraction
Of an hour. The road expects that the
distribution of cars to switches shall be
made in instances when the run has been
less than 100 miles, or less than ten hours,
without additional compensation to the
days pay. %,tf.-<
Under the schedule In force, a days
work consists of a run Of 100 miles, or a
run Of ten hours: For all work more than
this overtime pay Is allowed. Vice Pres
ident Miller stated that the principal and
only important difference with the men
was over the question of distribution Of
cars to switches at the end Of a day
run, and the question of pay for such
service. He stated that in his opinion,
the matter would be easily settled when
the management $ view-sof the case was
made clear to the employees He thought
that the men ought to be willing. to do a
days work of ten hours and to make up
the ten hours time by switching when
paid for such days WORK; or to make UP
the day s9service in switching when run
of less than the schedule 100 miles had
been made. The point made by the men
is that, having completed their run, over
time should be allowed for all services
