THE DANGER OF A SURPLUS.
but a mistake.

The Republican party is the party, par excellence for
filing the national treasury with surplus. Cleveland
not the only president who, under Democratic pol
ICY has been forced borrow money times the pro-
foundest peace with which pay the current expenses
Of the government Upon the other hand big surplus
Of money has been the nightmare not the undoing of
the Republican party. So Speaker Henderson did well
in warning the Republican majority of the the
danger that confronted them in the way big surplus
in the treasury He declared that it is danger which
will confront congress continually during the present ses-
sion and he appealed to his Republican colleagues not
TO moment forget be wise in the presence of this
danger Speaker Henderson is right this warning
admonton The greatest danger confronting the party
is that surplus which is continuous temptation to
extravaganza in appropriations. Roosevelt says in his
message that in the interest of increased wealth and cons
merce the West had much right to appropria
tons for irrigation and redemption arid though rich
lands the East has annually for vast sums for
the purpose Of river and harbor improvements It is often
said Better surplus than a deficiency" That de

MAN HAD A PASS.
Conductor Had Fun With Him
and Got His Fare.

One of the best storiesGen. Archie
Williams ever drew from his vast
repertoire is told on himself. Many
years ago, when Attorney General
of Kansas Mr.. Williams had occa-
sion to make trip to the East. He
had no railroad passes east OF the
Mississippi River, so he borrowed
an annual over an Illinois road
from his old friend Jake Smith. 1t
happened during the first stretch
through. Illinois that the conductor
of the train on which the Kansas
man rode was former schoolmate
OF his. The conductor recognized
Williams, but Williams didn't rec
ognize the conductor, and about
this fact the fun of the story hangs.
"Mr. Smith, said the conductor,
after working his train and return
ing to have a chat with his passen-
ger from Kansas, 81 see you are
from Topeka; did you ever know
man out there by the name of Archie
Williams"
Eyes l know him very well" re-
sponded the pseudo-Smith, after
struggling hard to steady his nerve
and regain his composure. eyes
Williams is considerable of fellow
out there. He's Attorney General
of the State.
Who, Williams? Attorney Gen
eral?" CALCULATED the conductor.
"What kind of people are they out
there in Kansas to elect a chuckle-
head like that for Attorney Gener-
al? Why sir, used to know Will
liams back here in Illinois-grew
up with him, you might say-and
of all the dundle-pated step-on-him
self-and.fall-all.over fellows you
ever saw Williams was the worst.
That man Attorney General? Why,
if you will believe me, Mr.. Smith,
he didn't know law enough to wad
a shotgun.
"Stop i'll Stop it!' yelled Williams
springing to his feet. "There is
your blankety blank Smith pass;
AXE it up and collect fare if you
want to, but you can't abuse me
any longerW

hence. Corregidor, says the New
York Herald, was a Spanish explorer
and was buried on the island, where a
handsome tomb had been erected to
his memory.
When the Spanish surrendered Cor
regidor island to the Americans a
company of soldiers and hospital men
were sent there 10 establish a hos
pital. While in Manila the soldiers had
heard many stories of the Corregidor
tomb. One of the stories given out
was that a vast amount of iewelry
and money had been stored away in
the tomb.
As soon as the American soldiers
landed on the island they at once tore
their way into the monument, but
failed to find anything of value. A
rust-eaten sword and a few trinkets
were all that was found.
The picture shows the hole that the
American soldiers made in the tomb.

City this week, Four more car
loads are yet to come. There are
IL, 446 bushels of wheat in the con-

brought to this country. The pur-
pose is to improve the quality of
Kansas hard wheat for expert

Rev DIR. G. Campbell Morgan, Of
London, who has just arrived in Amer

Moody in the American field of evan

the New Court Congregational church,
one of the most successful churches in
all the United Kingdom. DR.. Morgan

Desecrated ana Rined by Greedy
American Soldiers.

When Dewey's squadron entered Ma
Mia bay on the mission that was to
change the destinies of the Philippines
the first shot fired at him came from
Corregidor island, at the entrance to
the harbor. This island because OF
its strategical position, has gone down
in naval history, yet few people know
how it got its name.
Recent unfortunate events which
compelled the government to step in
and prevent further desecration of the

who induced him to pay a visit to the
Moody schools at Northfeld, Mass.

THE PETROLEUM INDUSTRY.
Ranks Next to Pig Iron as Money
Bringer


Ranks Next to Pig Iron az Money
Bringsr
It is not generally known, says the
st. Louis Republic, that the petro-
leum product Of the United States
is a greater money bringer than any
other product except pig iron, but
such is the case according to careful
estimates recently made by the thor
oughly-posted petroleum operators.
The figures show these surprising to-
tails:
Investment in production--that is
taking the crude oil from the ground
rigs, tools, machinery, etc, $780,
100000; invested in pipe lines, re-
fneries, tanks, tank cars and neces-
sary adiuncts, $6OO,OOO,O0o
Number of men employed in the
actual production Of oil, 5000; num-
Der who depend upon the production
Of petroleum for livelihood, $4,000.
Wells drilled since first well in 1859
to the beginning of the present year,
$4,000; cost of these wells, $685.
100000.
Estimated production Of crude pc
troleum from 1859 to this year,
| ,O0O,0OO,0OO barrels; at an average
price of S2.17 per barrel, the total
value of the output would be 1910
100000.
There are miles of pipe lines, 76,-
200; tank cars, 1900; tank steam
ers, carrying the product TO Europe,
Asia, Australia and Africa and the
Americas, 100.
In 1868 well was drilled on apiece
of stony ground on the east side Of
Oil creek, which has produced oil to
the value of $4,OOO,OOO.
The deepest well ever drilled was
put down by the Forest Oil company
at West Elizabeth, Pa, II miles from
Pittsburgh. 1t is 5000 Feet deep.
The Russian petroleum field last
wear produced 60,OO0,OOO barrels, val
ued at $36, 100000. During the same
period the United States produced
100000 barrels, valued at $59, 300
600. The total production of therest
of the world during 1900 was 4,09O,-
$50 barrels of crude. OF the worlds
total 70 per cent. of the oil consumed
in the arts and for domestic purposes
was produced and refined in the
United States. Russian oil is of such
low grade as to prevent it ever be-
coming a serious competitor against
the American petroleum and its dis
| tillates. The commercial value Of
American to Russian petroleum is as
"a to23.
| During 1900 the American product
yielded 2,O9O,OOO,OOO gallons of re-
fined benzine, kerosene, lubricating
oil, paraffine and other products in
value $1SO,5OO,OOO, second only to
the pig iron product ($245,172,645)
and greater than the total production
of gold and silver combined ($I41,-
46O,026) during the same period,
The natural gas production and
consumption is also an important
item in the United States. The year
ly consumption Of natural gas in the
United States amounts to $2O,OOO,-
900. The United States does not pro-
duce this amount and has to import
some from Canada.

former naval officer could be seen
darting hither and thither among the
timbers and through the crowd, per-
