There is said to be a strong bond of
friendship between Emperor William
and a Norwegian peasant named
Christian Jorje, whose home is at
Mode, village near the coast. The
kaiser never visits Norway without
giving his old friend call, and the
two converse like pair of old cronies,
addressing each other as Wilhelm
and Christian" The interview usu-
ally ends by the peasant playing some
thing on his accordion and the mon
arch leaving him gold coin.

VALIDITY OF INSURANCE
DEPENDS ON TRUTH TELLING.

st. Louis, Dec. 3.-The United
States court of appeals yesterday
rendered a decision to the effect that
the validity of life insurance policy
depended upon the truthfulness OF
answer to questions propounded by
the company when the application
for insurance is made. The suit was
to recover $4,000 from the Home
Life company Of New York. On the
trial it developed that the insured
stated that he had no other insurance,
when in fact he had.

Madison, Dec. 4.
Many ardent admirers of the Wis
consin football team have given ex-
preston to notes of dependency over
the fact that several of the best play
ers would not return to school next
year or would be barred by the four
lyear or other rule. While it is true
that four of the stars of the great
team of. 1901 will not be able to don
the moleskins in championship games
next season, there seems to be little
occasion for the feeling that the
team will be other than strong ag-
gregation.
always more or less speculation as to
how the following years team will be
composed Of course there is no
certainty as to the makeup of the
1902 team at SO early a date, but
every indication favors strong
eleven. Wisconsin loses four
players, Larson, Curtis and Cochems
have played the limit of four years and
Skow graduates from the law school.
All of these are stars and three of
them have been chosen on the all
western eleven for the season just
closed.
All the other members of the team
will be here again next fall and all
with the exception of Lerum and
Driver have at least two more years
to play. In filling Tie vacant posi-
tons there will be abundant material
to select from Schneider has ex-
pressed belief that he will be re-
instated, and with him filling Capt.
Curtis position the line will be prac-
tically as it was in the Chicago game.
The positions of half-backs will be
more difficult to fill. Kirby has de-
veloped into a strong player, particu-
larly on defense. Abercrombie is d
steady and reliable back and Marshall
is not a novice in the position, having
been chosen by Ralph Hoagland as
the second best quarterback in the
ton of quarterback, which he doubt
less would have held this season had
he not sustained a serious injury to
his knee early in the season. The
possibility of a change of coach affect

and barring accidents Wisconsin will

THE BEAUMONT OIL
 CONTAINS SULPHUR
REPORT OF THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY TELLS WHAT DIFFICULT TIES MAY BE MET IN OTHER PARTS OF TEXAS.

Washington. November 1s. = The geo. logical survey has just issued the report of George I. Adams. one of its experts. on the oil and gas fields of parts of Texas and the west gulf coast
 The report points out the limited areal extent of the reservoir which has been tapped under spindle-top heights and calls attention to the differences which will have to be met in the development of other localities which may be widely separated from it but occupying posi- tion in relatively the same horizon.
 The report says 1t is well known that the Beaumont oil contains sulphur, and its presence had demonstrated in a meas ure the uses to which the oil may be put. The limited occurrences of gas and indi- cations of oil in outlying localities are noted as an aid to those who seek to de- velop new fields.
 A short review of the various explana- tions of the occurrence of the oil at newspapers from time to time. Is given. along with references to the conditions found in other fields. with the purpose of pointing out some of the problems which have had to be met by those prospecting in the locality. The report embodies sta- tistics on the oil and gas production from the fields. and calls attention to the probable future of some of the older lo- calities. as> it seems to be indicated by their history.

London, November 19.-An Anglo-Amer- ican syndicate. including Sir Charles Riv- CTS Wilson, the Earl of Kintore, Earl Grey. F. B. Ellser of New York, George Cornwallis West and others, applied to the London county council yesterday for lease for 999 years of site on the north side of the Strand. with a frontage of 75O feet and with still longer frontages on the new streets in debouching on the Strand, for the erection of an office build ing on American lines. The structure, which vii cost a2,OOO.OOo. will be the handsomest and largest of it's kind in the world
 Commenting upon the project, the Times says today:
 Tt will relieve the county council and settle multitude of architectural squabbles that would rise of the site were divided among different individuals. At the same time it will be an object lesson in which we stand much In need. Therefore, the project deserves the best wishes of Londoners. There is a need less alarm over the American invasion. It Is forgotten that we are always in- vading other people in just the same way. The Americans have discovered that we are less enterprising at home than abroad and we welcome their corporation, which cannot fail to draw the Anglo Saxon na- tions closer together"
