NINE eUsHERs BROUGHT. TN.
Highest Record in History of the
 Beaumont oil Field.

Beaumont, Tex. September 1.-During the week just closed nine gushers were brought in, which is decidedly the biggest week in the history of the fields During the month nineteen spouting wells were completed.
 The bringing in of wells does not con- stitute all of the development. however, for several miles of pipe line have been laid dozen large storage tanks have been completed and several more have been begun. Not less than twenty more big well tanks having capacity of 3S, BOO to- 5e,0O0 gallons. have been contracted for and several of them are'now under course of construction. On the whole, the month just closed has witnessed a development in this field which is marvellous. The week had its tragic side in the four deaths re- sulting from the breaking loose of one of the gushers. Forty-four gushers have been completed. At very conservative estimate these wells will produce a mill lion barrels of oil within twetny-four hours enough to load 6660 tank cars. which would make train fifty miles long. The daily shipments are now eighty-five cars

AFTER AN msUReENT LEADER.
nliguel Malvar Will Soon be captur-
 ed by American Troops.

Manila, September 1.--Everything points to the early capture or surrender of Miguel Malvar, the insurgent leader When either event occurs, everything will be favorable to the establishment of permanent peace.
 It is in the plans of the military au- thorities as a first step toward reducing the force to make two departments in- stead of four which would result in a considerable saving. The headquarters or one department would be Manila and or the other Iloilo.
 Each day shows an increasing number of surrenders ard captures in all the dis affected districts. Later accounts of ths recent engagement In Batangas province between Capt. H. c. Hale, with a detach- ment of the Twentieth Infantry, and the insurgent leader Gonzales, show that 1t was more important than 1t was at frs, considered.
 Many deserters and renegades were seen and heard giving commands in Eng lish Colonel Gracias, two officers and fifty men were killed after an engage ment lasting three hours
 Tomorrow. Dr. Pardo Tarvara, Benito Legardo and Joseph Luzuragfa will take the oath of office as members of the Phil ippine commission.

Wright, department of commerce and police; MT Ide, depart ment of finance and justice. and MT Moses, depaiT ment of public instruction The commission is considering the advis- ability of abolishing the income tax and of making other changes in internal rev. enue.
 The new political parties are in process of formation Senor Paterno heading one and Senor Pubad the other. Both favor the ultimate independence of the Philip pines.
 Senor Paterno proposes that the mem- bers of the Congressional party who came on the transport Mcclellan to examine into the general administration of af- fairs in the Philippines be awarded med als, bearing on one side the features of the Goddess of Liberty, and on the other the inscription.

 T shall not attempt to preach doctrine" he said. This is to be simply lay ser mon. For my text have taken a passage that always has impressed me forcibly. It is Be ye doers of the word, not hearers only.
 "One of the most abhorrent traits of character man can possess, in my mind, is hypocrisy. We all have met men who go about clothing themselves in scrptural teachings, yet whose con duct toward their fellow men shows that +tA*~S Noii 't iiFC dP lO tit lSdOhiH6 iONC thy neighbor as myself The great thing in this world for us to be is doers. Of course to be doers we must be hear CTS. That is, we must go to church and study the Bible, but our duty does not end there. We should give a helping hand to others by spreading the word of Christ II Is well enough to tell a man what he ought to do but this must be supplemented by some practical demon stration of application.
