Voting by Mail In Australia.

In the elections for the Victorian
members of the Australian Legislature
the citizens have the facility OF voting
by mail. Any elector who resides at

be prevented from voting personally
thereat, may obtain through the local
postofflce his ballot paper from the re-
turning officer for the district. The

look at the names OF the candidates
which have been written.

VALUABLE OIL GUSHER
STRUCK IN WYOMING

Kemmerer. Wyo., Oct. 2I.-l)enver
Republican Special)-Grent excitement
exists here as n result of Il strike OF OIL
in the well of the Parattine OIL Conf
pany in the Fossil fields.
The first intimation of anything un-
usual came Friday night when en-
ployes of the Wyoming Paratline
Company arrived in town from the
well and gave their friends the tip that
the well was II gusher.
An official of the company states that
steady flow of oil has been struck ut
n depth of only 100 feet. and the well
is now flowing at the rate of fifty bar
rels per day This is increasing at Il
rate that will, in few days, make the
well natural producer of at least 100
barrels per day. When the well Is
shot it is expected that the oil VIII
glIsh forth in quantities many times as
large as the present flow.
The officers and principal stock hold
ers of the Wyoming Paratiine Oil Com
pany are Pocatello railroad men. The
company was formed II few months
ago and drilling WAS commenced about
three weeks ago. At a depth of only
sixty feet small flow of oil was
struck, and one day last week another
flow was struck at II depth of 10 feet.
The oil is fine lubricating article,
said to be the richest that has been
found anywhere in the West.
The discovery is expected to cause II
rush to the Fossil fields. \ large num-
her of companies have been waiting III
see what the drill of the Wyoming
company would encounter, and now
that there is no longer any doubt ns
to the existence of oil in paying quanti-
ties. it is predicted that inside of four
weeks there will be no less than n
dozen drilling rigs ut work in the Fossil
fields.
The Consolidated OIL Company.
which is made up of twelve or thirteen
smaller companies owning ground In
the Fossil fields, is now drilling well
near the well of the Wyoming Parnf-
fine Company. The well is down about
300 feet. and several small flows of oil
have been struck.

WOMAN FIFTY YEARS OLD RIDES

a feat never before accomplished, and

As it passed over the brink it rode at
an angle of about forty-tive degrees ON
the outer surface of the deluge, and
descended as gracefully as Il barrel can
descend to the white, foaming waters

True to the woman's calculations, the
anvil fastened to the bottom of the bar
rel kept it foot downward, and so it
landed. Had it turned over and landed
on its head, Mrs. Taylor's head must
have been crushed in and her neck

The ride through the rapids occupied
eighteen minutes. 1t was 4:23 o'clock
when the barrel took its leap. 1t could
not be seen as it struck the water be-
low, because of the spray, but in less
than half minute after 1t passed over
the brink it was seen OH the surface of

American interests Supreme.

1. is understood in Washington that
Lord Pauncefote will bring back from
London his governments consent to
an isthmian canal treaty drawn in ac-
cordance with American wishes. The
compact has not yet been formally
written. but there is every reason to
believe that England has agreed to ac-
cept it in every principe for which
the United States has contended. The
treaty is nothing more than an agree
ment" on the part of England to the
abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty. Therefore England will here
after be equally exempt with other
European powers from participation
in any work connected with the con-
struction of the canal or its mainten-
ance when constructed.

TEACHES INDIANS TO WORK.

Redskin boy Laborers Brave the Jeers
and scorn of Elders.
Indians are not easily persuaded to
abandon old customs and the work of
the government agents when they try
to teach them the white mans way Is
often arduous and the results discour-
aging. An experiment OF much value
was attempted among the Cheyennes
in Oklahoma not long ago. An Indian
agent wished the schoolboys to milk
cows for him and agreed to give to
each one who MIXED for three months
a nice calf. Fifteen boys started, but
they were SO ridiculed by the older
men of the tribe that twelve of them
gave 1t up. Three won the calves and
the pride of being owners of cattle
served as quite an assistance in getting
ether Indian children to try. After a
year twelve boys had won calves and
the agent asked them to plow corn for
him. agreeing to give them all the corn
they could grow. The boys volunteered
to grow corn and they actually raised
1000 bushels, which was sold and aft
erward converted into thirty-five head
Of steers. Each steer was branded with
an individual brand chosen by the boy
owner. This made them prouder than
ever and more industrious. Every boy
at the agency wanted to go to work at
once and as a result of that experiment
the Cheyennes are the most industrious
farmers Of any tribe SO recently on the
warpath.-Chicago Chronicle.
