Gas Well Caught Fire.

One of the gas wells caught fire last
Sunday but was extinguished SO quick
ly that there was little damage done
and few people knew anything of it.
Someone, probablya wandering smok-
er, set fire to the box over the valve
of the Jeffries well, belonging to the
lola Gas Company. The box burned
off and the heat warmed and melted
the brass valve so it permitted gas to
escape and slight explosion follow
ed that tore some of the pipe loose.
1t was only a matter Of time until the
whole well would have been freed and
burning full blast, but Wallace Ewing
was notified of the break and succeed
ed in closing it down. The total loss
will not be over ten dollars.

and G. w. Vanderhoogt, both the lat
ter repre- senting the Boer interests
here, directly and indirectly, have
been in consultation during the past
week. Far from feeling discouraged
over the condition of the Boer cause,
these men ask their friends to exercise
little patience in demonstrating that
the South African republics will gain
their independence. They say that
the season now is adverse to success
full Boer tactics, but that the next
spring will demonstrate the renewed
activity of Boer aggression all along
the line. The British, they say, are
steadily losing their grip, through
climatic conditions, which are doing
more to debilitate the British army at
present than Boer bullets could do.
They say the English cannot concen-
trate 80, able bodied men at any
important point and the Beers are
ready to beat down that number on

English army is stale and unable to

burgher army so that Botha, De Wet,

Botha has personally directed all
weak men to leave the burgher forces,
as they are burden to him. For
every slight capture reported in the
British journals, these men say, the
Beers are destroying a supply train

they would surrender, but they choose
to continue the war, assured that the
English cannot conquer them in de-
cade, and that their struggle will end

Pension for Sam O'Hara.

The dispatches Wednesday bring
the news that Samuel O'Hara has been
granted a pension Of Sl4 u month.
This is most gratifying news to all his
comrades and friends. O'Hara was u y
carpenter at Moran and was a big,
strong man when he joined company
and went to the Philippines. There he
was a model soldier, obedient and all
that his officers could ask, while he
frequently shared the burdens of COM
rades. When he came home he was
in poor health and has grown worse
until he can hardly get about and has
been unable to do weeks work at
his trade, carpentering, at time. His
claim seemed hung up and he was in
clined to believe that he would bedead
and buried before the pension came,
but now it is here and he can seek a
change of climate and restore his
health. AID all his friends are

judges Office, but that Ioiiicial grinned
innocently. When pressed heconfess-
ed had just married Fred Montonye,
of Yates Center, to Grace Sellers of
lola, but had promised not to give the
news to the papers if he could help it.
And right here the REGISTER knocks.
If Mr.. Montonye can get an lola girl
to marry him, bully for Montonye. He
shows good eye. But when he wants
to hide his light under a bushel as if
ashamed of what he has done there is
trouble. Any man on earth who is
ashamed of marrying any lola girl
can simply put up with some of the
substitutes for the real thing that he
can find elsewhere. Why Montonye,

OUR OWN COFFEE
The New Island Possessions Will
Supply it

supply IL
Washington, May 6.-That all the
coffee consumed in the .United Estates
can be grown in the islands which
have lbeen acquired since the out.
break of the Spanish war is the con-
clusion reached by the bureau of
statistics of the treasury department
after a careful study of the coffee pro-
ducing capabilities of the new posses
sions.
The islands in which coffee can be
successfully grown are Hawaii, Porto
Rico and the Philippines. Portol, Ri
can coffee, in the markets where it is
we'll known, is regarded as the best in
the world, and it is the conclusion of
the bureau of stastics that when cof-
fee plantations have been developed
in the Philippines and Hawaii all Of
the 81, 900, 900 or more which the Unit
ed States sends abroad every week for
coffee can be expended among the in
habitants of our own islands. Porto
Rican coffee has long commanded
high prices in European markets,
though it has been comparatively little
known in the United States.
Developments of coffee culture in
Hawaii during the last few years have
been very satisfactory in the quality
produced and the prices realized. In
the Philippines the product is Of high
grade.
The fact that the UnitediStates is by
far the greatest coffee consuming
country and is steadily increasing her
consumption, suggests that American
capital and energy may turn their at
tention to the promising field now
opened in the islands.
American coffee impor tations dur
ing the nine months ending with March
1901, amounted to GIT, 344, 900 pounds,
with a value of $45, 218, 900, a sum
nearly So, 900, 900 in excess OF the value
of the cotfe imported of the same
months OF the preceding fiscal year,
indicating that for the full fiscal year
the total value OF the coffee imported
into the United States will be about
$50, 900, 900.

A VALUABLE FIND,

Fishermen OF the Island of CeriRo
bring Up Copper Statue of Hermes.
Minister Francis at Athens, Greece in a
recent report to the Department of State,
says that sponge fishermen while diving
recently for sponges Off the Island Of
Cerigo, the most southern possession of
Greece. discovered and brought to the sur
face a copper statue of more than life
size representing Hermes, a youth with
uplifted arm and extended hand. No parts
ed to be masterpiece of classic Grecian
statuary. 1t is regarded by archaeologists
as one of the most remarkable of recent
discoveries.
The divers also found in the same To-
cality many pieces of metal and broken
marble statues, and it is reported that a
massive gold bracelet was among the OBJ
jects secured. The treasures have been
taken to Athens and placed ON exhibition
In the Central Art Museum. The govern
ment general commissioner of ANTIQUITIES
expresses the opinion that the statue Of
Hermes found by the divers dates back to
the fourth century b. c., and it is claimed
that 1t is superior to the famous copper
statue discovered at Delphi, and in point
OF beauty and perfection of art fully equal
to the marble Praxiteles statue of Hermes
found at Olympia. That the copper statue
discovered by the divers is an original and
not copy is proved by the fact that
attached to the feet are small pieces of
lead showing that it had been placed on a
pedestal from which it was torn of.
:. The generally accepted theory is that
ing this and other art treasures was ship
wrecked on the exposed coast OF the Island
of CerigO. NONeaceS Of the vessel have
ever been discovered.

radical departure from the original speci-

Gage explains that a few changes have
been made, but says they were entirely
necessary, and win not detract from the
finish and high artistic excellence of the
building. -
