Refined Capital Punishment.

Louisville Times: What's the matter
with abolishing capital punishment and
sentencing criminals to 60 and live in
Kansase The only things happy out
there are the big sunflowers. and the
women had better look out or they will
chase the men from the state. One time
right here in Louisville learned judge,
noted for his big heart, was called upon
to pass sentence on murderer. II SEN
tence you." he said, etc live out the rest
of your days in Danville." Whereupon
the criminal, who had hitherto born up.
gave shrek and begged piteously to be
hanged rather than live with the blue
Presbyterians in Danville. Everybody
sympathized with him. And over in
Indiana one railroad was 20 famed for
the number and fatality Of its accidents
that when man was condemned he was
given his choice between instant death OF
acting q conductor ON that road. Most
chose instant death.

Oil Strike in Southern Idaho.

BOISE, March o.-It is alleged that oil
has been discovered on the Owyhee side
OF the Snake river, in the vicinity of the
George Newell ranch While stories
have been told Of the alleged opening of
a we'll pouring out oil in abundance, the
facts Of the matter appear to be as fol-
lows: All along on the Owyhee aide of
the river for several miles above Ber-
nard's ferry there are springs Of hot
water. Bernard. Newell and others some
time ago did considerable boring for the
purpose of tapping the supply of this
water, hoping to secure enough to be Of
value for irrigating 1t appears that Mr..
Newell discovered oil in one Of the wells
that he sunk. After making the dis
covery Mr.. Newell carefully covered it
up until he could secure capital to assist
him in developing the find. Going TO
Seattle Newell succeeded in interesting
parties there. The latter sent experts
back with him to his ranch. These made
favorable report and the Seattle syndi-
cate, in conjunction with Newell, pro-
ceeded to locate about 1900 acres.
