Kincaid Dispatch We have at
last got the straight of the story of
our natural gas field. e. G. Hensley
was down at lola last week picking
up few pointers about gas and look
ing after some other matters, and he
told us that II. J. Blood told him that
"a Mr.. Hearst down there told him
that Ed. Miller, who drilled our well
here, told him that n bed of natural
gas four miles square lies just east of
where our well was drilled. 1T can
be seen at glance that this story is
straight, easily followed and very
plausible. Now is the time TO SUBJ

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

What Does This Means-At the Re-
publican National Delegate Convention in
New York yesterday Senator Platt pre-
vented an endorsement of Governor Roose-
Yelt for denomination and also prevented
Instructions for Lieutenant Governor
Woodruff for Vice President. He based
his attitude toward Roosevelt on the RI
diculous claim that the State Nominating
Convention alone should make recommen-
dations as to State officers, and his public
attitude toward Woodruff on the even
more ridiculous claim that ii is not GUS
tomary to hamper New York delegations
to national conventions with Instructions
for fayorite sons. Privately he told an i'm
Fortunate crowd Of Woodrun's friends that
in the end il would be shown that he is
the best friend Woodruff has. Mr.. Platt
carefully edited the speech Of the Hon.
James 5. sherman. permanent chairman
OF the convention. and still that speech
contained this rallying cry; Boys, fall
INTO line behind Mckinley and Roosevelt"
This took the convention of It's feet. and
Tor fully five minutes, according to the re-
ports, the cheering was kept up. Some Of
the newspaper accounts explain that Mr..
sherman did not intend to ticket the
merely meant that Roosevelt would be the
State leader in the national campaign. In
view OF the attending circumstances the
explanation sounds scarcely reasonable. II
The Platt mao hine were determined to re-
nominate the Rough Rider there could
De no possible excuse for preventing
an endorsement Of him by the
convention yesterday. II Mr. Platt is
Woodruif's best friend" ard il Woodruff
fG arf ha
nation it is Incompatible with all OF the
recognized rules Of political management
to send to the National Convention an uu-
instructed delegation. Inevitably the con
clusion from these premises is that there
is an understanding all along the line that
Roosevelt IS 20 be forced on the national
ticket and that Woodruff Is TO fall heir TO
the gubernatOTial nomination This has
been Mr.. Platts scheme from the first. Ii
is known that the Administration at Wash
ington never has despaired OF getting
Roosevelt on the ticket with Mckinley. At
the same time the Presidents advisers
have not been and are not yet. satisfied
that Woodruff could lead a successful fight
in New York On this point even MT Platt
has some doubts But II Woodruff can de-
velop large following for the Vice Presi-
dency this would give him a prestige that
would add strength 20 his candidacy for
Governor The game is avery pretty one
as il stands. and its developments viii re-
pay watching. Mr. Plat could prove IN no
better way that he is Woodruff best
friend than by electing him Governor Of
New York and 10 do this IL rril be ne.es-
sary 70 shunt Roosevelt OF on the Vice
Presidential track. Wherefore: For Pres
ident. William Mckinley OF Ohio; for Vice
President. Theodore Roosevelt OF New

MILLIONS CLAIMED BY MANY

"AAUShs - Il oEAunS-
NEW YORK. April 1S.-An estate worth
between SlO,0o0,OOO and 20ooO, 600. it has
been discovered. was left by RousIer Wan
dell. a recluse who died in obscurity fifteen
years ago. Over 200 persons have come
forward with claims as heirs. and great
legal battle fOr the property viii soon be-
gin.
When Wandell a bachelor, was buried
in Albany only his housekeeper and ser
wants. five persons altogether. attended the
obsequies.
During his life the man was a mystery
and at his death it was only made deeper.
For some reason that has not been dis
covered he lived under the name Of McIn-
tyre. He made few friends and had no
conhdants. He was always busy and
seemed engaged in affairs OF importance
but no one knew what his business was and
no one apparently cared.
Rousler Wandell. it is now said. was the
son Of John G. WandeH VIC came 10
Pennsylvania in 1906 and died in 1850 He
had thirteen children. five OF whom died
early. At the demise Of the father R0usler
Wandell came into an estate Of over s.. &c.,
0C0, which IL is said he increased from ten
to twent. fold.
ROusler drifted away from his family
and they did not hear from him in many
years. Meanwhile many OF his brothers
and sisters died. leaving children and even
grandchildren. There was a tradition in the
family that RoUsler had become rich. and
search was made for him. After years Of
enquiry it was discovered that he had
moved 10 Albany and had assumed the
Eame OF Mcintyre.
II was also learned that he had died in
testate and a search was made for his for
tune. Part Of it was found in large estates
in the Canary Islands Application was
then made in the Surrogate's Court Of Al
bany FOR the appointment Of executors and
a further search was made for the nearest
living kin.
This was about ten years ago. Since
then more OF the estate has been Clscov-
cred every year and more relatives % claim
il. There are now over twenty-five law
firms representing the various heirs. and
there viii be a big fght for the fortune.

NEW YORK. April 1S.-The suggestion
that the Dewey Arch. after il is taken
down. be removed to Buffalo and re-erect-
ed on the grounds Of the Pan-American
Exposition next year, was made last even
ing at the meeting OF the National Sculp-
ture Society. The idea was formulated by
John NJ. Csrrere. Of Carrere & Hastings,
who are doing much architectural work for
the exposition. and met with general ap-
proval On the part Of the sculptOrs pres
ent.
Last evenings meeting Of the society
was better attended than any previous
meeting this year. The occasion was spe-
cialIy interesting. owing 20 the presence
of half a dozen visitors from Buffalo, in
ciuding Secretary Fleming. Of the Ezposi-
tiOn Executive Committee. who came to
consult with New York sculptOrs as to
plans for the scuIptural decoration OF the
exposition. On this account the discussion
at the sOciety's meeting was on the sub
jecJ Of Exposition Sculpture"
Charles DeKay presided and after a few
Introductory remarks from him a number
Of Photographic lantern slides were shown.
ana were explained by F. W. Ruckstuhl.
The photographs included views Of most
Of the famous expositions held IN america
and in Europe and Ruckstuhl pointed out
how the use Of sculpture has been more
lavish in each succeeding exhibition. Aft
erward Mr.. Calrrr'e. John G. Howard Karl

his great experience, estimated that. from

scientists yield a similar result.
These meteoric streams. says another as

bodies. revolving around the sun in fixed
orbits by the force OF gravity. The earth
revolves on its axis at the rate of 1000
miles an hour. and speeds through space
in its orbit around the sun at the rate OF
1000 miles every minute. and in August
and November plunges into the very oppO-
site direction. The rapidity with which
they enter our atmosphere and the frlc-
tion thus generated are so enormous that
they are set Are to. the smaller ones being
consumed and falling in dust, while the
larger ones occasionally reach the earth in

The territory in and around the village

forms the worlds chief supply OF Htho-
graphic stones. The Itho stones found
in France near Mon-oeIier cannot compare
with the Solnhofen stones.
Lithographic stone is nothing but COM

Of such llme-tous strata. These cover an
area Of about ten acres. Of which the
greater part has not yet been worked.
The statement which is given out from
time 10 time mostly from interested par
ties. that the supply of Solnhofen stones
is rapidly diminishing is therefore abso-
lute'y without foundation. These stones
will not be exhausted for the next 200
years at least.
Rumors OF newly discovered liIho-stOne
beds in other countries have so far proved
to be untrue. or the stones found have
turned out to be OF little use Nowadays
litho stones must be Of excel INT quality
in order to satisfy the requirements of the

laid aside as not coming up TO the stand

used for paving floors. etc. A scarcity
therefore. Of superior Iithographlc stones,

effect of bringing into the market inferior
stones.
Il is interesting to note that the stones
in Bavaria do not lie deep n the ground.
in fact, only the earth and some rock nave
to be removed as a ule. The stones lie
in layers and have simply to be taken
carefully from the earth.
The bulk of the ground beneath which
the litho stones lie belongs to the com
