Mr.. Bryan's Fine Example
lMashington So

The manner in which Mr. Bryan has
borne himself in these days of a great
national shock and grief Is worthy of
high praise. He has Tefrained from sug-
Sestions such as might spring to the lips
Of one who was so opposite to the late
president in all his views OF public policy
lie has shown himself above all an Amer
lean rather than the leader Of a faction
OF a party, and his words are the sincere
expression OF the sorrow or one who
could appreciate the worth Of the dead
despite political antagonism. This spirit
on the part of the man who twice meas
ured himself against William Mckinley
in the race for the highest honors should
serve as a singing rebuke to those few
others who have dared TO voice their
sneers. Mr. Bryan has won friends by
his manly, simple tribute to his late OPP
ponent, and has strengthened the faith
OF the nation in the goodness and the
justice Of the leaders Of American thought
and action

OIL STRIKE AT FOSSIL.
Flow of Fifteen Barrels a Day
and Land Advances to
$1,000 Per Acre.

Ogden. Utah. Nov. 12.-Word was re-
ceived here early today that at about
midnight last might driIlers for the Fossil
Oil company encountered oil at a depth
of 80 feet, after passing through a heavy
clay stratum. The well is about three
miles from Fossil Station, Wyo., on the
Oregon Short Line railroad and at, 4 a.
m. was flowing ten TO fifteen barrels of
a fine light oil. This is the first oil sand.
and is the second strike OF oil in the
district, Many California and Texas Oil
operators are rushing to the new fields,
being attracted by the fact that the oil
is a superior iiluminant and lubricant
and not a cheap fuel product.
A letter from Evanston yesterday aft
ernOon, sent to an operator in this city
indicates that the strike above referred
TO was made on a plateau known as
Round mountain. on land owned by r.
s. Spence. a United States land Office at
tOrney at Evanston, and at a depth of
forty, instead of 80, feet
Whether the strikes are identical or not
the fact remains that no small amount Of
excitement exists. for land in the vi
entity Of Round mountain was being
held at $1,000 an acre when the letter
was mailed, and California parties were
wiring the news to their coast asso-
ciates.
