 T remarked that this was a blow to me; that was from New York and had a little land near the wen which I was going down to look after.
 Immediately the oil expert exciteday jerked a map out of his pocket and asked me to point out my land. T showed him a tract near the well. He jumped from his seat and beckoned me away from the others. .
 Have you leased out your land I'll give you a good layout for it, he burst out.
 q told him I would let him know after dinner. and got off the train at Lafayette, where my friends began to cry out Hello Lucas and to crowd around me.
 'The oil expert discovered who was and said. If you are Captain Lucas you have been making fool of nae.
 T told him I had only been testing his sincerity"
 Captain Lucas showed to his friends beautiful gold medal. On one side is solitaire diamond. around which Is inscribed. Captain Lucas. from 100 friends.' On the other side was in- scribed. 'Lucas Geyser. February 10, 1901. s, 100 barrels" In the center was engraved a miniature of the great Lu- cas oil -geyser.
 Captain Lucas says that the public will soon learn something more with respect to oil development.
 The oil from the Lucas well is now being refined in Cleveland. It is piped t. Port Arthur, and there loaded on ,vo sJeis.
 While in the city Captain Lucas spoke of his North Alabama prospecting near Hartselle. in Morgan County. It is this property to which in all probaSil- ity he referred when he. promised his friends further development in oil.

Change Comes Der the Spirit of
the Dream of the SOOn-tO-Be
Millionaire.
New York Sun specEaT Service

Washington, Oct. 22-Charles A.
Towne's voluntary removal from Duluth
to Beaumont, Texas, where he has finan-
cial interest in the newly developed oil
wells Of that region, has recalled to a
number of Mr.. Towne's friends in Wash
lngton that he is on the high road to for
tune. His oil properties are fine produc-
ers, and Mr. Towne, unless something un-
expected happens, is likely to become
millionaire. Some of his friends who are
fam ar with his sentiments regarding
riches drawn from the earth, are won
dering how he will feel when he has ac-
cumulated few millions. When Mr..
Towne came to Washington last winter
as the appointed successor of the late
Senator Davis, he had occasion one day
in the senate restaurant to discuss Sena-
tor Clark Of Montana, acknowledged to
be the richest man in public life. The
views which he uttered regarding Sena-
tor Clark's wealth and the manner in
which he acquired it will doubtless sound
strange to him in his new environment.
Said Mr.. Towne:
It has always seemed TRANCE to me that
men can enrich themselves from the treasures
OF the earth, which by every law ought to
Delong TO all humankind. The precious met
ais, goid and silver, reposing in the hidden
businesses OF the mountains were not placed
there by him to become the means Of enabl-
ing one man or any set of men to acquire
vast personal fortunes which they can use for
the oppression and corruption Of their fellow
citizens.
Senator Allen, who was present. con-
Cured in Mr. Towne's philosophy. Of
course Mr.. Towne said nothing about oil
in his enumeration Of the treasures Of the
earth that belonged to the human race
