University of Tennessee Alumni Catalogue

OhAFViSAtJ VI 4 AVuuSSSS0 Aluuiul NdIdAOXuO,
A reyissd edition of the University
OF Tennessee Alumni catalogue will
probably be issued sometime during
the present session. The old edition
was very unsatisfactory, because so
many names were omitted. It is very
difficult to get complete list OF the
names Of the University Alumni, since
some Of the catalogues containing the
names Of students who attended the
University before thee war are lost.
But there is no reason why the revised
edition should not contain full list OF
all the students who have attended the
University within the last qualter of q
century. The names of all students,
including both graduates and nom
graduates, will be in the revised cata-
logue. Information blanks will he
be sent out with the request that they
be properly filled out and promptly re-
turned.
In order to make the revised cata-
logue complete it will be necessary for
members of the Alumni Association to
give assistance by sending in names
and addresses OF old students. The
information given by this catalogue
will be Of great interest TO all who have

Thanking the Home Guards.

Lincoln, Neb., NoY 8O.-In letter
acknowledging an address sent by the
Bryan Home Guards, W. y. Bryan
says:
"When a political party meets with
reverses the greatest consolation the
candidate has, aside from the approval
of conscience, is the knowledge that
he retains the confidence OF those with
whom he was associated, and thank
the guards for this assurance. The
conest between democracy and plutoc-
racy will go on, and those who believe
in the Declaration of Independence
and the doctrine of equality before the
law mnst still demand human rights
from the encroachment Of greed"

STATE STRIKES OIL.
A Rich Flow Struck at BEushy Mountain
in Drilling for an Artesian Well.

A Rich Flow Struck at Btushy Mountain
in Drilling for an Artesian Well
The Chattanooga Times OF The 2nd
SAYS: discovery OF oil was made abuOt
three days ago at the Brushy mountain
miaes, owned and operated by the
state, which for prudent reasons has
been kept quiet by the officials of the
branch prison, and did not leak out un-
til yesterday.
Ever since the establishment OF the
branch penitentiary at Brushy noun
tain the officials-haye been at their wits
end to know how and where to secure
supply of water adequatefor the needs
of the branch prison.
Late in December, 1893, Mr.. Nixon
started the drilling of we'll at the foot
of Brushy mountain, and near the pris-
on building, with the view Of securing
flow OF artesian water.
Tince that time the work of drilling
this we'll has been in constant progress,
penetrating very hard sandstone, and
finally, about week ago, reaching the
depth of 800 feet without striking O
sign Of water, AT 0 depth Of 9, 700 feet,
or thereabouts, the driiler had pene-
trated completely the Cumberland car
boniferous formation, striking into the
underlying Archean limestone, the
same formation, in fact, as that OF the
Tennessee valley.
Three days ago, while drilling, the
apparatus took sudden plunge, and a
few minutes later coal oil appearing is
suing to the surface, accompanied by a
strong odor of petroleum, or escaping
mineral gas. The drillers quit work,
returning to the stoekade, and told Mr.
NIXON that the driller was broken.
Mr.. Nixon went out to investigate.
and on reaching the scene saw at once
that in drilling we'll for water they
had struck stratum OF crude coal oil
petroleum.
Everything tends to prove that the
state, in addition to her coal mines al
this point, has discovered a subterra.
mean lake OF petroleum, which, in the
end, may prove of more value than the
product of the mines. Arrangements
are now being made to develop the oil
discovered, and it is likely that Other
wells will be sunk into the petroleum
lake at the base of the carboniferous
stratum, and in the close grained Ar
chean limestone.
There is not the slightest doubt al
TO the genuineness Of the discovery
The oil gushes up from the lake below
in such way as to prove its existence
in large quantities ct the bottom.

BRYAN ON LANDSLIDE.
Due to war, Money and Better rimes.

Due to War, Money and Better Times.
New York, Nov. 9S,--William J.
Bryan, defeated candidate for presi-
dent, discusses the election Of 1900 in
an article in the December number Of
the North American Review in which,
among other things, he says;
"The old saying that it is not safe to
swap horses while crossing stream
was usedfor all it was worth, notwith-
standing the fact that, in this instance,
it was an ocean instead OF o stream
that was being crossed; for Imperialism
IS an idea Of European origin. The
republican victory was due to money,
war and better times. The work OF ed
ucation must continue until the great
maj ajJrity Of the people recognize that u
private monopoly is indefensible and
intolerable. The voters who rejected
the conservative remedies proposed by
the Democratic party have aided those
who advocate still more radical meas
ures. The most surprising feature Of
the campaign was the Indifference man
ifested by many Republicans to the at.
tack on governmental principles hereto
fore regarded as sacred. The destiny
OF the American people must be deter
mined by the American people them
selves. The same powerful financial
interests which protect industrial trusts
at home will attempt to force the nation
to join the international land grabbing
trust. A joint resolution passed by
congress will hardly restrain q party
which SCOTS at traditions aud disre-
CARDS the limitations of the constitu-
tion. The pocket nerve, which at this
time seems to be the most sensitive
nerve, is liable to be touched by the ex.
trayagance of those who have come TO
regard the governmentas a sort of San
ia Claus, who turns every day into
Christmas. To consider this election
as decisive of the money question would
be as absurd as to have recorded the
election of 1896 as decisive Of the tariff
question. Asa matter Of fact, an elec-
ton is not necessarily conclusive upon
any question. When prosperity fails
the gold standard will lose its charm.
Those who believe in equal rights be-
fore the law, and desire a government
which rests upon the consent Of the
governed and deals justly with all who
are underits jurisdiction must continue
the contest in triumph or defeat"

WASHINGTON FAITH.

Washington. July 2O.-State depart ment officials do not accept the con clusions reached by London officials, that Minister Conger's dispatch is an old one which has been intercepted by Chinese officials. They say the mes sage is a satisfactory reply to the one sent by Secretary Hay.
 The state department says the cable received this morning is in reply to a ms ssage in cipher which the Chinese minister, Wu undertook to place in Conger's hands. Wu started the mes sage on the 10th. Conger's reply was started on the 18th.
 As soon as Minister Conger's cable gram had been transmitted a cabinet council was called in the office of the secretary of state. In reply to a ques- ton, Adjutant-General Corbin said it was impossible to say now what effect the report of Conger'S message would have on our military operations in China or on our preparatio here. He did not know but great military haste might precipitate matters in China
 The consultation brought about no pronounced change of policy, for it was felt that already every energy had been bent toward meeting the situation and that there was absolutely nothing more that could be done. After all, the cab inet officials felt and so stated, the massage was an evidence of the friend- ly feeling and good faith of the pro- foreign element of the Chinese, and wisdom dictated a course which would continue to utilize this friendship. The government accepted the message as authentic and Secretary Hay trans mitted it to all ambassadors and min- isters abroad.

EXPLOSION OF A WATER TANK
A Volume of 4S.000 Gallons Suddenly
 Released.

The big water tank of the S. Fr. P. & day morning with an explosive sound like the discharge of a cannon, strew- ing the wreckage more than 100 feet in every direction and covering the track with debris. The outbound passenger train was held up about five minutes while the track vras being cleared.
 The tank was huge affair with a capacity of IS 900 gallons, and was full when the explosion, if it may be called an explosion, occurred. It was strong ly built and was held together by thirty heavy iron bands. The cause of the collapse is more Or less Q mystery. Only one of the iron bands was broken, but that was enough. The heavy wood work gave way instantly and was broken into a thousand pieces. The great volume of water became a Mag ara for couple of seconds. It was suggested that perhaps the broken band had been struck by lightning some hours before and that the great press ure of the water was directed against the weakened section. The bands were adjustable, so that they could be tight ened in dry weather and loosened in wet seasons. They happened to be "cinched up" for the dry season and the woodwork expanded in the rain- storm of the night before. On the other hand, the iron bands exposed to the cool rain contracted until the weakest one gave way.

A MILLION DOLLARS
The Lowest Valuation Placed or
 Yesterdays Rain.

There were probably not a dozen men in this city yesterday who did not ask inc or more times of those he met, "well, what was that rain worth to the valley?" and the invariable reply was "A million dollars.' The reply was a simple jumping at conclusions, but those in the best position to know agree that it is no overestimate. This part of the territory has suffered the most severe drouth since the valley has been settled and the condition was becom- ing more than serlous-it was alarm ing. But now things have changed and while more rain is needed, and lots of it, to put the ranges in good condition and provide irrigation water for the next few months, every one feels jubi- lant and has faith that the drouth is broken.
 The rain began in earnest about 1 o'clock Thursday night and simply poured down till nearly daylight. then drizzled for couple of hours. Though Friday was clear, the indications are good for additional downpeurs.
 Last evening it was reported from the Arizona dam that on Thursday night there were $500 inches of water flowing into the canal. Yesterday there was an increase of 5000 inches, mak- ing Il 800 inches in all flowing into the canal last night. The Grand canal will get the benefit of the increased flow on the north side till Sunday as it is the regular run of that canal.
 The rain did not amount to much east of Mesa City, and at the dam there was but a light shower, but the rise in the river is due to storms above and the water is muddy, indicating a con siderable disturbance. News from the north is to the effect that it rained more or less all the way between Phoe- nix and Prescott, with heavy rains west of Phoenix and it is believed on the Verde river. The big storm here was simply a local application, but every drop was needed. The joyful feature of the situation is the raise in the river.
