ing scheme in any sense of the word
Prof. O'Hanlon is very emphatic in de-
claring that no money is to be asked
for his services but that the local So
ciety is to carry on affairs as it sees
best, without being called upon to con-
tribute money. The prime mission of
the association is to help the chill
dren and animals which are abused
From this many side issues can be
developed, somegof which may require
Ia little money, but very little. The
first organization, however, can be eff
fected without the expenditure of any
amount of money.
AS announced in yesterdays Cour-
ier a meeting of citizens will be held
tomorrow evening at o'clock in the
grand jury room at the court house.
and at that time Prof. O'Hanlon will
either partially or permanently orga-
nize humane society. He earnestly
requests that every public spirited
citizen who has any interest in the
public welfare attend the meeting.

TEXAS MAY OWN OIL LANDS.
State Likely to sieze the Great Lucas
Gusher.

l
Austin, Texas, Jan. 31.-The oil
from the great Lucas gusher, near
Beaumont, may become the property
of the state of Texas. State Land Com
missioner Charles Rogan has discov-
cred that the public free school land
act passed by the legislature in 1883
contains a provision that all oils and
minerals found on school lands on and
after the date of the passage of that
law shall belong to the state.
Nearly all of the lands in that sec
tion of East Texas, which is embraced
in the new oil fields, belonged to the
school fund and have since been sold.
The state still owns large tracts of
lands in the prospective oil region of
East Texas, and the state land office
lis being overwhelmed with applica-
lions from parties who desire to pur-
chase or lease such lands. Under the
law no increase in the price of these
lands car be made by the land COM
missioners.
/ The charter of the Beaumont Geyser
Oil company, of Beaumont, with a
capital stock of $1,0OO,O00, was filed
in the secretary of states office yes
terday. Its purpose is to construct
and operate oil and gas pipe lines,
storage tanks, etc.

Many of the physicians are paid
the usual charges for medical /atten-
dance. The highest sum paid a ply
sician is in Polk county, the amount
paid here for the treatment of the
poor and insane being $1,000. In 9TH
er counties the physicians are paid
annual sums ranging from SIS to $50.
The sums paid the steward and
matron range from $500 to $1,000 in
each county. An important point in
the table is the evidence presented
Indirectly that the county method of
care of the insane and poor is much
more expensive than state care would
be, inasmuch as the same number of
individuals could be cared for in two
or three large state hospitals at a
much less expense for help and with
much lower acreage of land than
is now devoted to the purpose of coun-
ty institutions. The total number of
insane in the counties is 1884.

OBJECTS
Not Willing to Admit Iowa to the
Conference.
CONVENED AT COLUMBUS TODAY
Operators Will Oppose Any Increase
in Pay to Miners-Hoped to More
Thoroly Organize West Virginia
Miners.

Columbus, o., Jan. 31-The Joint
conference of the bituminous coal OPP
orators and miners convened at the
board of trade auditorium in this city
at 4 O'Clock this afternoon 1t is
composed of about 200 operators and
500 miners representing western
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Hi
nois. The question of admitting rep
resentatives from Iowa and Michigan
will be determined by the conference.
The miners are in favor of admitting
those states to the agreement, but
their admittance will be vigorously
opposed by the Illinois operators.
Conferences have been held by the
Illinois, Indiana bituminous and the
operators met this morning. The con
ferences have been devoted chiefly
to discussion of the demands of the
miners and the position that will be
taken by the operators in the joint
conference. The sentiment of the
operators is practically unanimous in
granting any increase in the present
price of mining. They say that it will
be utterly impossible for them to
concede any advance in wages on ac-
count of the competition from West
Virginia, which is not included in the
interstate agreement When the scale
was fixed a year ago the miners
promised, it lis claimed to organize
their fellow craftsmen in West Vir-
ginia. Some effort was made in this
direction, but little progress has
been made.
West Virginia is now third among
the coal producing states, and the
competition of the West Virginia coal
has been felt in all the bituminous
districts, especially western Pennsyl-
vania. During the past year, it is
claimed, the sales of West Virginia
coal in the Chicago markets alone
have increased to quarter of a mil
lion tons. Any increase in the pres
ent price of mining would, therefore,
the operators say, give their West Vir-
ginia competitors just that much
greater advantage. The operators ap-
pear to be willing to concede the pres
ent price of mining, but they will in
sist, as condition of it's maintenance,
that the miners of West Virginia be
organized and that state brought into
the agreement.
Opinions upon the demands of the
miners for scale upon run of mine
basis and an adjustment of the differ
entail between pick and machine min
ing vary in accordance with the exist
ing conditions in the various districts.
Heretofore the scale has been fixed
upon the basis of screened coal, and
the price of machine mining has been
determined by the various districts
separately. The operators will oppose
any change from the old plan.

BUSINESS FAILURES.
The Record for 1900 and Comparisons

New York, Jan. 31.-One Of the most
interesting commercial reports that
have been issued is the one just made

the bushes failures for the year 1900

specie payments in the United States.
There was slight increase in the
number of failures last year over 1899.

COUNTY AUDITORS WILL MEET.
Des Moines the Place and February
Fl and 22 the Date.

Des Moines Jan. 30.-The next
state convention for Des Moines will
be that of the county auditors at the
club room of the Slavery, February 81
and %. President McQuiston, depu-
ty treasurer of the state, has been
president six years, and he has fixed
the date as above subject to the ap-
prevail of the executive board. The
county auditors have never asked for
any legislation that they did not get,
for they have never asked for any
thing that would personally benefit
them, but always for some reform
needed for the good of the state.
Their program will be brief and dis
cussion will take wide range.

Sutton, Mass. Jan. 30.-S. Frank
King, while butchering COW yester-
day, found on opening the animals
stomach, that it contained all the run
ming gear of an ordinary sized mantel
clock, two stones, each the size of a
hens egg, and a number of pieces of
glass. The COW was apparently
healthy and did not show any signs of
Indigestion, but, on the contrary, ate
everything that had been fed her with
great relish. Mr.. King said the clock
works had nearly worn their way thru
the lining of the stomach.
