TEXAS STANDARD OIL co.
Oil Has Made Scores of MiIIionairea
Here Is a Great Opportunity.


Here Is a Great Opportunity.
Our drill last night was down 963 feet
and had less than fifty feet more to go
to reach the oil-bearing stratum 1t is fast
nearing cap rock and will be the next
gusher 'in." Two or three days will be
required to settle the pipe to cap rock
and then we expect to gladden. the hearts
of stockholders with one Of the greatest
oil gushers in the world
Many holders Of oil stock in this city
are already drawing dividends every
month. The Texas stocks, in good COM
panies, will pay ten times as well as in
California, Ohio, Indiana and West Vir-
ginia fields. because the Texas yield is
much larger.
Only this week is left in which to pro-
cure stock, which can still be had at 25
cents per share.
Many people who have been considering
a purchase are still delaying and few
days more delay will put the stock Of the
Texas Standard beyond reach.
We firmly believe stock we are selling
for 25 cents to-day will be worth 81 within
ten days and $40 in year.
Try an investment of $25, $50 or 500.
We are getting money for development
Recollect we do not want your money un-
less we get the gusher, as we say.

church, l will refer to incident which oc-
Cured during one of my overland trips of
forty years ago. AS I was the only passen-
ger riding night and day for month from
the Sierra Nevada mountains to Atchison
Kan. it afforded me great pleasure on leav-
ing Salt Lake to learn that a lady and gentle
man would occupy the coach with me for a
distance of forty miles. On closer acquaint-
ance 1 found that the gentleman was Heber
C. Kimball, Jr., and his third wife. He was
obliged to occupy the front seat with a broad
strap for back rest. while the only other
seat was nicely upholstered and Of course
was occupied by myself and Mrs Kimball
No g. AS l was a modest youth in those
days, the elder offered to relieve my embar-
rassment by inviting me to imbibe little
Salt Lake whisky, but as my esthetic taste
had not been cultivated in that direction I
was obliged to decline. He protested that
it was a non-intoXicant, 'the pure stun, "
for it was like all their beverages, their own
production. Sc he imbibed alone quite freely
till he was quite oblivious to his environ
ment. Then the hitherto silent woman, real

An Experience with Mormons in ,e2

To the Editor of The Journal:
One Of your recent issues contained com
munication entitled miss Babcocks Error. \
the reading Of which prompts the writer to
give an incident in his experience, which oc-
CURED while on his return overland from
Virginia City, New, in 1882
The relation of this incident will tend to
confirm the facts stated by the superintend-
ent Of home missions for the synod of Utah,
and will refute the statement made by the
Jealous young Mormon, Miss Babcock She
rec1lessly asserted that there never was a
saloon in Salt Lake City till it was brought
there by the Gentiles, and the Mormons were
unable to dispossess them. If there is a
mirthful side in this bald statement, it seems
to me, in the presence of historical facts
even the cunning old Mormon elders must
hide behind the Tabernacle curtains and
laugh.
During my many trips across the continent
between 1859 and 1867 I had ample opportu-
nifty to see something of Mormon character.
1t is said that the man with red nose and
blear eyes would be looked upon as a dis
jointed spectacle were he to proclaim tenn
perance; and his hearers would insist that
he remove the signs. So we would suggest
it was unfortunate for the cause Of truth that
Miss Babcock was not born sooner SO she
could have gazed upon these old saloon signs
hung along some of the streets of Salt Lake
City years ago.

Enough Bicycle Paths.

To the Editor of The Journals
With the completion Of the bicycle paths to
Anoka and Excelsior, and with the present
ones to Shakopee, Lake Minnetonka, Fort
Smelling and ct. Paul. and the numerous
paths radiating in every direction from the
center of the city, and supplemented with the
paving and good roads, it becomes q serious
question IL the city council and the county
commissioners have not gone about far
enough in the building Of bicycle paths In the
city and county. A path after It's construo-
ton needs constant care and expense to keep
it in excellent riding condition, and 1t is far
better to have limited number OF paths and
keep them in first-class condition from early
spring to late in the fall than to have them
so numerous as to become q burden in their
maintenance, and as a consequence lily kept.
II we have reached a point in our path
building, when the city is easily accessible
for bicycles in every direction, would 1t not
be well, instead of numbering our streets with
needless paths to be maintained, that the
council should repeal the fifty cent license
on wheels and place the care Of the paths
along with tn roadways in the control of the
proper authorities to be maintained out of the
same fund? While the tax is light, If 1t
means the building Of paths not needed, and
to become burden in the future having
served it's purpose, it should be repealed.

ETMass on Tackle"
Special to The Journal
Iowa City, Iowa, Oct. 16.-The practice
on Iowa field is gradually improving in
form and snappIness. Coach Knipe still
forcibly deplores the inclination Of the
backs to loaf when they might be helping
the runner or aiding in the defense, but
the play this week has been far superior
to anything SO far shown in practice or in
the practice games. The formations are
becoming more familiar to the new men
and they are beginning to show more
headwork in running them. The practice
last night was secret in order to allow the
practicing Of the new formations for de-
fense which will be used this year. The
center, who has heretofore on the defen-
sive played about a yard behind the left
tackle, is moved up to a position just be-
hind the line and on the left Of the left
tackle. The fullback takes a similar posi-
tion on the right. The disposition of the
center and fullback as extra tackles Is de-
signed to stop the masses on tackle which
have so far proved hard to stop and which
Coach Knipe learned at Minneapolis last

Worse Than Smoking,

To the Editor Of the Journal.
Mrs. J. F. T." has on more than one oc-
casion complained through the columns OF
b e Journal / about the tobacco smoke
nuisance. To some extent 1 sympathize with
her. l am man who does not use tobacco,
and have sometimes been more or less an
noyed by tobacco smokers It seems to me
that smoking, like eating and drinking, might
have a time and place.
But while waiting for the smoke to blow
away Mrs. ]. F. T." might devote herself
to cause more worthy Of her zeal and en-
ergy. I refer to the habit women have of
trailing their skirts in the dirt. l should be
very much surprised to learn that Mrs ]. F.
7. is not one of the women who sweep the
sidewalks with their skirts, sop up the slush
in the street car with their clothing or hold
a coin in their mouth while waiting for the
conductor to collect the fare. Does she know
what collection of germs cling to a coin, or
what possibilities for disease lie in the filth
which womens clothing gathers in the streets
and carries into the homes?
Tobacco smoke is disinfectant, and serves
useful purpose when applied to our unpaid
street sweepers. Let us not be too hasty
with the smokers.

Special to The Journal.
Madison, Wis, Oct. 16.-All the efforts
being made to have the Wisconsin, Mime
sofa football game played away from
Madison are useless. Coach Phil King
Manager Charles Fitzpatrick both say that
the game will be played here and nowhere
else. Minneapolis is now after the game
and has made liberal offer to have it
played In that city, but 1t won't do. Early
in the season Milwaukee tried hard to Sc
cure it, and a move is said to be on foot
in Chicago to have it played in that city,
but all these efforts are wasted The
Wisconsin officials take the ground that
not only is Madison entitled to one big
game, but also that the team, having
played the past two years at Minneapolis,
is. entitled to what advantage there is in
playing the game on the home grounds.
Coach King also insists that there is no
chance for a Wisconsin Michigan game
this year, either post or otherwise.
There Is no place for it on the Wisconsin
schedule. and King does not believe in
post-season games. ''We had one exper-
ience in that line" he remarked, "and
that is enough. The championship uues-
tion is largely rot. There is no real
championship to settle, anyway"
King took the team in hand In earnest
again yesterday afternoon, and gave them
a little stiff scrimmage work. Three play
ers are still on the hospital list, Abbott
having a "Charlie-horse' or his thigh,
Juneau sprained ankle, and Fogg bad
ly strained ligament on his right knee.

most other methods? In such an institution
they might be given q thorough education
and when the authorities believed an inmate
