EXCITED OVER OIL.
Tests at Troy, Idaho, Prove Great
Surprise.

Surprise.
Troy, Idaho, Aug. 4.-The people
here are wildly excited over the
existence of gas outcroppings. Since
the visit and encouraging report of
Professor Samuel Aughey, the
Spokane oil and gas expert. parties of
citizens can be seen every night with
iron rods, prodding holes N the
ground and setting alight the flow of
gas that comes from each hole. A
party last night made tests in all
parts of the town and everywhere the
soil was soft enough to allow the rod
to be pushed down to a depth of three
or four feet. flame from eighteen
inches to two feet in height would be
obtained which burned with a bright
yellow light. In several instances
the flame burned for more than a
minute.
Professor Samuel Aughey visited
Troy and made an examination of the
gas strike recently made just east of
town, on the land of j. ID. Jolley and
Richard and Thomas Stinson.
The land is now under lease to
Rogers & Seats, real estate men in
Spokane, and Professor Aughey's ex-
animation was at their request. The
professor said that the showing here
was undoubtedly the best he had seen
in the northwest, the escaping gas
when igniteld burning with a bright
yellow tip, indicative of the substance
being an Illuminating gas, and not
marsh gas, and the flame lasting a
minute or more. Where the gas Is
found the soil is damp. but not
marshy. On the water there floats
an oily substance which Professor
Aughey thought might be crude
petroleum, and he has taken a
quantity of this for analysis.
Professor Aughey stated that he
understood work Of exploring for gas
or oil in northwestern Whitman
county is progressing rapidly. Near
st. John the Vancouver syndicate has
reached a depth of 900 feet and .ex-
poets to bore 1000 feet further If
necessary. The Hollis &c Hunter
well, on the Henry Jones place, in the
Hole in the Ground" just at the
head OF Rocl, lake. is now nearly 300
feet deep. The work here has been
slower, as IL has been found necessary
to use casing in the bore.

II has been found that certain

with a reddish glow, followed bv a

has become 50 habitual that specimens
kept in perpetual light or perpetual
darkness nevertheless undergo the

FETEs AT HANDY.
Sacred Tooth of Buddah Shown to the
Duke of York.

Sacred Tooth of Buddah Shown to the
Duke of York.
1t was on the evening OF our arrival
at Handy that the famous 'Perahera,"
or procession of elephants, took place.
Under ordinary conditions it is a
religious festival connected with the
possession of the Sacred Tooth,
guarded with jealous vigilance in the
Buddhist temple at Randy, and is held
at the time of the full moon in August.
: It's object Is religious pilgrimage to
the rudy waters Of the Mahawelli-
ganga river. only a few miles distant,
where the yellow-robed priests of the
Hindoo god perform certain mystic
rites. 1t has been carried on for
some rs centuries, and its discontin-
aunce cannot be foretold, as today it
is attended by the same barbaric zeal
that characterized its enactment in
days when the European had not
brought a dominating influence to
bear, when his mere existence even
was undreamt of.
There is attached to the temple a
stud of elephants, which when not in
use for festival purposes are generally
kept on the estates of the native
chieftians; but in the present instance
the2 headmen of the neighboring
: provinces had contributed by sending
their own elephants. Fifty, therefore,
participated in the extraordinary
pageant that night, and as each animal
was escorted by some so attendants,
dancers and musicians, the parade
attained to noble proportions. The
performers, waiting their cue, were
standing about in easy attitude of
semi repose. The tom-toFn was silent,
: the dancers limbs were stationary, the
elephants motionless save for lazy
Zap of their massive eais. 1t was the
audiences that arrested attention.

their brown Shoulders and busts
thrown out from the folds &C wh.le

COUNT THE COST.

When you go to pitch youi
crop this spring it will be vel
for you to bear in mind thai j;
the South has a good year for cot
ton, they will make close around
100000 bales and that means
that it will sell next fall sl very
much lower prices than it did the
past fall. 1t will be well TO re
member too that guano is higher
than last year; bacon is higher
corn is higher; and consequently
It will cost you more 10 make
your cotton this year than it did
Last. 1t is said that Texas will
make 100000 bales this year if
Providence does not frown upon
their efforts as he has for the past
two years.

GOVERNOR CRITICISED.
Senator RagSdale Uses Some
Plain Language In COnnec-
tiOn With the State
Bank Bond Case.

The senate today devoted a
considerable part of the morn
ing session debating the old
state bank bond matter. 1t
was proposed to appoint the
supreme court com EMISSION to
decide the case and adjudicate
the claim.
Senators Graydon, Dean and
Ragsdale opposed the bill. The
latter was somewhat plain
spoken, not to say sensational,
IN his remarks. He declared
that he could not understand
why the governor had gone out
of his way to recommend the
payment Of this claim. How
was it, he asked, that this sub
lect was in the message at all ?
He believed that interested par
ties were behind it, and that is
how it got into tho message.
What right has the governor to
talk to the Legislature about
"repudiation" when the legis-
lature has twice decided there
is no debt? That word is not
the language Of the governor,
but sounds much like that of
attorneys. Talk about repudia-
tion, he said, strong language
must be met by strong language
and, in his opinion this scheme
is little less than a steal. There
are a lot of hungry lawyers
about here trying to get into
the treasury through this bill
and they seem to have influence
enough to get into the governors
Office.
Senator Barnwell followed and
said the governor had made the
recommendation as to the pay
ment of the bonds, because he
thought it right. He then went
into an interesting history of the
way the bond had been lost and
how many Of them had been re
covered.
Debate on the bill was not
completed, but will be resumed
tonight.
In the house the appropriation
bill was futher considered. The
South Carolina college appropri,
alton was put back at $4,000.
After long debate, 100000
was appropriated to the public
schools. Mr. J Caldwell Rober-
son wanted the money given to
schools outside of Incorporated
towns, but this was not acted on
The same amount was appropri
ated last year in the house, but
ii failed TO become law.

MRS. NATION AT 1T AGAIN
COlOred Employee Attempts to
Stop Her and Fight Ensues.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 5-Mrs
Nation launched crusade against
the joints at an early hour this
morning. She rose at 4.40 and
soon afterward started out on 81
tour of joint smashing.
Accompanied by Mrs. j. Z
White and Miss Madeline South
ard, she attempted to enter a
place at $50 Kansas avenue. The
man on duty was taken unawares.
but managed to disarm Mrs. Ma
ton and bolt the door before any
of the party could enter. Mrs
Nation said her friends caught
her arms and prevented her from
going through the window.
The next place visited was the
Senate" 400 Kansas avenue.
The women entered without any
resistance, but colored man
quickly seized Mrs Nation and
took her hatchet away. Some.
how in the scuffle she was struck
on the right temple by the weap
on, but the blow did not disable
her, and she at once seized the
hatchet carried by Mrs. White.
She turned over two large mar
chimes aud smashed the glass in
front of each. She soon made q
wreck of large refrigerator and
alter that turned her attention to
the liquor fixtures behind the bar.
A key Of beer came in the way
Of her hatChet and the contents
completely drcnched the skirts Of
Mrs Nation.
At this juncture the colored
porter fired a revolver at the cell
ing to trighten the crusaders and
attracted the attention of the
outsiders. Policeman Graham
was attracted by the noise and
escorted Mrs. Nation to the po,
lice station.
Here Mrs Nation and her little
band Of followers held a short
praise service and lectured those
in charge at the time.
Her trial will come up today
for the disturbance she created
yesterday afternoon, when she
attempted to enter a joint at
East Sixth street.
Mrs Nation was booked as
'Hjoint smasher." The others
were released. Her case is con.
tiured till Thursday without
bond, the charge preferred being
constituting a riot"
Mrs Nation today issued the
following proclamation to the
school children Of Topeka
"My Precious Children |

to help me destroy that which
is on the streets and protected

GENIUS IN CRIMINAL LINES.
Scientific Burglary as Latest Phase CT
Civilization.


Scientific burglary appears to be
the latest phase of our civilization"
says the London Telegraph. "A month
ago the postoffice in Percy street, Tot
tenham Court road, was invaded dur
ing the night and $3.50 worth of pos
tai orders and other valuables were
distracted from the safe. How this
was done was a mystery until a fore
man from an oxygen making company
gave evidence at the Marlborough
Street Police court that a portion of the
safe had been burned away by jet Of
oxyhydrogen flame. Whether the two
men charged with the crime were the
skilled operators remains. of course,
to be seen and must not be prejudged,
but whoever the criminals, the method
showed a distinct application of
science to burglary which may rank
among the advances of the twentieth
century. 1t is suggested that the
cracksmen had first bought compress
ed oxygen; then, having Obtained &C
cess through the skylight, they turned
on the supply of carburetted hydro
gen. which, with more or less bril-
lance, still Eliminates most of our
dwellings, and passing these gases
through suitable burner they pro-
dused an intense blue flame yielding
little light and no smell, at a tempera-
ture probably exceeding 1000 degrees
Fahrenheit. Thus, deposed the eX-
pert, in about an hour or an hour and
half they had burnt away so much of
the safe that the lock fell out. Here's
story as the bard would have said.
Burglars and blowpipes, to what may
it not lead? Perhaps they will make
their own gases next. The centerbit
becomes thing of the pasta Brown
| Bess compared with a Mauser rife
after these revelations, and your Bill
Skies gives place to the pale burglari-
Gus student porting over the Encyclo-
paedia Britannica by the light of his
own electric lamp. To meet this adj
! vance the clever and intelligent de-
! tective must learn chemistry and
metallurgy. A nail is driven out by

that renders it twice as hard as the
plates of a dozen years ago. 1t would
! defy any tool and, we understand, any
flame that the burglar can bring to
bear upon it. Clearly, then, the safe
makers must at once provide armor
clad safes, and so set a fresh conun-
drum to stimulate scholarship and re-
search among our criminal population.
Who knows what noble fruits may be
