There is also too much corrup'
tion in the politics of today-not in
any particular party, but in all parties
there are too many dishonest men.
The use of money in politics is de-
moralizing the people, and is dishon-
orable to those who engage in it. A re
form should he brought about by which
honest, capable men would be put into
office instead of those who obtained
their influence by the use Of money.
The present condition, l think, Is
chargeable to the Indifference of voters
In not performing their duty to the
public by securing better leaders and
themselves controlling the government

If akron, Ohio, has had bank rob-

dispatches from Goshen, Ind, in Fri

police know nothing of 1t. and local

new to them. If robbery occurred,
1t was evidently in Akron, Ind, and
not Akron, o. The Goshen dispatch
reads:
Goshen, Iud., Aug. l.. Private detec-
tives, employed b. an Akron, Ohio,
banking institution, have made an i'm
portant arrest in local gambling
den which resulted in recovering near
ly $4,000 in currency and gold coin.
The two men who were captured
had rifled a vault in the Akron bank
ten days ago and since then had been
shadowed. The men, who are said
10 be residents Of Elkhart county,
were taken completely by surprise
and were hurried to Elkhart, where
the booty was believed to have been
secreted. At Eikhart the robbers led
the way to the outskirts of the city,
where they had buried their plunder,
and every dollar was recovered. The
detectives and robbers later left for
Akron. The bank directors, fearing
. panic, have kept the facts secret
until today.

a.rran,um Leaves as a Flavor,Dr.

From time immemorial the rose ge-
ranium has occupied prominent place
in popular favor. Our grandmothers
have been known to strew the fra
grant leaves among their lingerie, but
few know of the culinary value of this
humble plant. The next time you are
making crab-apple jelly try this re-
ceipt with few glasses: Have the
geranium leaves washed to free them
from any possible parasites. Then,
just before pouring the hot jelly into
the glasses, throw a small leaf into
the bottom of each glass. 1t may be
allowed to remain until the jelly is
used and will not spoil it in any way
The result is an indescribable flavor
which improves the jelly immensely.
Sometimes when baking cake line an
earthen plate With the geranium leaves
and turn the hot cake out upon them,
leaving it there until quite cold. The
steam absorbs the fragrance from the
leaves, giving the cake the daintiest
possible flavor, that suggests nothing
so much as the odor of a La France
rose.

TEXAS OIL KING.
CAPT. A. F. LUCAS, WHO BORED
WELL AT BEAUMONT.
From an Humble Beginning He Has
Suddenly Become One of the Richest
Men in the state-His Attempts to
Find OIL Laughed at at First.

A few months ago Capt. A. r. Lucaa
was STRANGER in Texas. Folks
laughed at his efforts to find oil in
the soil of the Lone Star state and
regarded him with contempt and pity.
Today he is big man in the state
and may be one of the next candi-
dates for governor. Success has
caused the change in sentiment. Lucas
has struck it rich. His gusher at
Beaumont, about which much has ap-
peared in print, has flow of 10000
barrels day, which is over four times
that of the largest one known in the
United States up to the present time.
Before the we'll was closed, the oil
flowed into a temporary reservoir
which had been formed about the we'll
by throwing up temporary embank-
ment. This reservoir covered 81 acres
Of ground 10 inches deep. The bank
gave way in one place and about 2OO,-
900 barrels of Oil escaped. 1t is es-
timated that fully half million bar
rels are still in the lake. 1t is not
certain that this can be utilized, be-
cause it is so mixed with dirt that
its usefulness is doubtful. The we'll
is now closed and to handle the out
put the most expensive plant in the
world is being built. A half million
dollars will be invested in tanks alone.
So strong is the pressure of the we'll
it is estimated vessel Of from 1000
to 5000 tons capacity can be loaded
in less than "a hours.
Lucas went to Texas from Washing
ton two years ago. The locality in
which the we'll is situated has long
been regarded as rich in oil, but nu-
merous attempts to strike it, prior to
Lucas arrival, had failed. When
Lucas appeared people ridiculed his
efforts, but he was persistent and on
the morning of January 10 oil was
struck. From a poor man Lucas has

he rushed up to the bar of a hotel the

The liquor was at once forthcoming,
but instead of gulping it down, as the
mans manner naturally suggested
that he would do, he poured little
into the palms of his hands, rubbed
them together. and buried his nose
in his hands. He gave long-drawn
shifts of inhalation until the liquor
had evaporated, and then poured more
from the glass into his hands. This
operation he repeated until the glass
was empty. Then he paid for his drink
and went out with look of content
ment on his face.

GARDNER AND McovrpN


The match between Oscar Gardner
and Terry McGoyern, at San Francis
co, recalls their last battle over year
ago, In which the Brooklyn champion
is believed to have narrowly escaped
defeat. Many are of the opinion that
the Omaha lad had Terry nearly out
in the first round, when he sent him
to the mat, but McGovern came back
strong and finished Gardner in the
third. Gardner made a game fight.
1t is to be hoped that the Wheeling
lad will see the Importance of the
contest he has on with the worlds
champion, and take pains to get in
proper shape. While one cannot help
but admire Gardeners gameness for the
many battles he has fought right off
the reel, in this contest he should be
wise enough to see the folly of going
in the ring half trained. No man has
a chance with the Terrible Terry"
unless in the best of condition. Gard
ner should make this the effort of his
life, and come to the mark as fit as
possible. Gardner is handicapped by
pair of very bad hands, and he must
take this fact into consideration the
very first thing.

improvement connected with machin-

was invented by the inmate of an asy-

AS the inventor was afterwards quite
cured, and became prominent man.
the physician did not give any details,
but his invention, designed and mod

sane, has brought him in thousands Of
pounds. Another lunatic invented a
simple automatic contrivance for the
head of a lawn-tennis racquet, to pick
up the balls and abolish STOPPING. It
acted perfectly, and the asylum doctor
