Representative Brosius, OF Pennsyl-
vanta, chairman of the House Com
mittee on Banking and Currency, said
OF the new Financial law: This
measure is a long step towards the
splendid preeminence we are achiev-
ing as world power. The British
war loan and the Russian loan have
sought American takers and we sup
ply all these calls, as we did the pay
ment to Spain, without strain out of
our abundant commercial credits
abroad. Financial empire is before
US, and following in the wake of com
mercial superiority, New York ere
long will have supplanted London as
the clearing house of the world.

ana, bought gold pen for President

Two Democratic members of the
House Committee on Military Affairs
-Lentz, Of Ohio, and Sulzer, of New
York-are making asses of themselves
because the Committee will not allow
them to make the investigation of the
use of Federal troop in the Idaho
mining trouble last year a vehicle to
exploit themselves and to manufacture
political capital for the Democratic
party. These two men manage to get
the committee into wrangle at al
most every meeting by their ridiculous
charges and idiotic talk, and at the last
meeting Chairman Hull was obliged
to remind Lentz, who attempts to or
der witnesses around, that he was not
the whole committee. Instead CT help
ing the investigation, this pair of
Democrats are hampering it, but that
perhaps is their real object although
it was Lentz who originated it.

Is There a Sixth Sand,

Mike" Miller, whose deep well at
State Line. in the Tuna Valley, has
become famous. was in the city yester-
day. He wanted to get few point
ers from Charley Fltzgibbon relative
to the right way to proceed in certain
subterranean matters with which the
Bradford fisherman is familiar In
the face of much difficulty and much
rldlcule, Mr.. Miller has for years been
drilling his deep well deeped, fire.
quently beset with heart-breaklng
fishing jobs, but sticking to his pur-
pose with the tenaclty of a Paul Kru-
ger. The tools used in the drilling
have been rather light for such work
but Miller is a careful driller and the
operations at the well are personally
conducted. Last fail after four years
of persistent fishing and drilling, Mil
ler reached depth of 1920 feet. The
hole filled up 1000 feet with oil The
situation looked yer. encouraging
and other oil men who were interested
eagerly discussed what they believed
to be most important discovery.
They concluded that deep under the
old reliable rock which had already
contributed rivers OF oil in the Brad
ford field, there was still another great
reservoir Of petroleum. And then the
cable broke-75 feet of it-and down
went the tools to the bottom of the
hole. Everybody was vexed.
Mike Miller is philosopher. He did
not allow himself to worry or become
discouraged. He had been through
such experiences before. During the
winter he has made many efforts to
induce the tools to leave their resting
place in the earth and come up to the
top, but they were there to stick and
would not bulge an inch. The hole
contained large quantity of oil and
some of this was baled out. 1t was
not like the fluid that had been en-
countered in an upper stratum. The
VII Gu " was utdNy III 81 dNlly
and there was not much of it. But
the new oil which came from the
depths was a lighter, superior brand
of petroleum. In fact it was some
what like the oil found at Tiona
There was considerable gas in it, too.
Last week the hole was again bailed
out, 700 feet of deposit this time, and
the bothersome mess of cable which
lay on the top Of the tools was chop
ped up and pulled out. Mr.. Miller and
his associates have desided to tube the
well above the lost tools and see what
there is in it. The pump will soon
demonstrate just how valuable a find
there is in that lower sand and new
light will be shed on the resources of
the Northern oil field when this test is
made An experienced
oil man was asked yesterday what
sand he would call this which was en-
at $500 feet, and he gave 1t
as his opinion that it was the sixth
sand. Whether it is the fifth or the
sixth sand, it is too deep for me- said
another expert
If it is proved that superior quality
of petroleum, lis still hidden away in
the remote depths below the we'll |
drained producing sands of this sec
ion. the Miller well will start boom
n deeper drilling not only here but in
)ther fields.--Bradford Era.

Jefferson said: Peace, COM
merce and honest friendship
with all nations, entangling al
liances with none" We APP
prove this wholesome doctrine,
and earnestly protest against
the republican departure which
has involved us in so-called
world politics, including the di-
plomacy Of Europe and the in
trigue and land-grabbing OF
Asia and weespecially condemn
the ill.concealed republican al
lance with England, which

HEARTY SYMPATHY FOR THE
BOER REPUBLICS,
Believing in the principles of

dignatiou the purpose of Eng

the South African republics.
Speaking as we believe, for the

extend our sympathies to the

struggle to maintain their lib.

We denounce the lavish APP
preparation of recent republi-
can congresses, which have
kept taxes high and which
threaten the perpetuation of
the oppressive war levieS.
We oppose the accumulation
of surplus to be squandered in
such bare-faced frauds upon the
taxpayers as a shipping sub,
sidy bill, which, under the
false pretense of prospecting

put unearned millions into the

We favor the reduction and
speedy repeal of the war taxes.

Believing that our most
cherished institutions are in

shilling piece, which naturally, being two shdlhngs only leaves you sixpence short The trick is an old one. It Is played prin- eipally on Americans, those rich Americans who come over here scattering their money broadcast and leaving the trail so difficult for us poor creatures who have to look out for the pennies while the pounds fly An old man with two front teeth and no hair to speak of spoiled my trip to Rotting- dean with trick like that. Of course it wasn't the siNpence cared so much about, but the principle of the thing!
 Tt Is wise to keep a sharp eye on the ten shilling gold piece in England also. It Is exactly the same size of the sixpence. Of course 1t is of a different color, gold, and the other silver; but they look the same in the dark One night coming home from Victoria station I gave the cabby his fare, one and six that is, I was under the impression that had given him one and six for the moment. He held the money close to his nose, examining it with an eagle eye on the lookout for extras Then he drove off at a marvelously rapid rate for London cab. Before lie sped out of sight he thanked me for the one and six. The resonance of that voice of hisi It re- mained with me for weeks. It visited me ill my dreams. Upon examination Of the ContellS oI my purse l discovered that l had generously given him a gold ten and six. 1 never saw him again.

If Napoleon the Third has a crown on the money Is all right if he hasn't it is all wrong. Most of the time he hasn't the ghost of crown. It has gone where the woodbne twineth. Then there is the bad five-franc piece; and of all the bad pieces floating promiscuously about 1t Is the worst. It is Sic.lion, or 1t is Spa1- isn or it is South AmericIn: il is anyth!rg x but good.

The short account in Sugar again gave signs of being over-eUtended, and after failing to near 93 the quotations touched 101z in the late dealings. A decline In the price of raw sugar, thus widening the gap be- tween the cost of the raw and refined su- gars, was an influence.

Watch Your Change in Paris

"In England" the woman wrote back from Paris, 'it Is the half crown you have to look after and the two-shdqling piece. There is so little difference, you see, in ap- pearance, at least. though there Is the dif- ference of sixpence in value. The half crown is two shillings and six. There is a oross on one of them: but when you are in hurry who is going to stop to look for crosses? Nobody. And that's where they get you.
 ''This Is their little game. You lay half crowd down on the counter and unless you keep you finger glued to 1t, saying mean time In a loud voice: This is half crown, they snatch 1t before you can blink an eye and declare you have. given them a two
