Lucklest Man on Earth.

The friends of Col. James M.
Gufey, of Pittsburg, Pa are loud
in their claims that he has already
claimed his right to be called the
luckiest man in the world. At any
rate he has dazzled the eyes of the
oil field spectators with the sue
cess and daring of his operations.
His latest strike is the big oil
gusher at Beaumont, Texas, which
is now spouting fortune in oil ev-
cry day. How he happened to get
possession Of that bonanza illus
trates the luck which has followed
most Of his operations. One day
last summer there was letter in
his mail from man in Texas, of
whom he had never heard before.
The letter stated that the writer had
$1,000 acres of land in Jefferson
county, Texas, under oil leases.
BE had no idea whether there was
oil under the ground there or not,
but had hopes. He would like Col.
-Guffey to go in with him and bore
a trial we'll. Col. Guffey wrote the
enterprising Texan to get leases on
$4,000 acres, when he would help
him. The bargain was made and
the first we'll bored at Beaumont, 200
miles from any producing oil we'll,
has already produced oil worth
$3.50, 900. In the same lucky way
Col. Gufey has been instrumental
in developing producing wells in
California, Mexico and West Vir-
ginia. He is also said to have sue
cessfu,ly backed his luck in natural
gas and silver mining ventures.

An Indemnity for All Soldiers Lost.

In figuring up the indemnity
which this Government will demand
of China as result of the Boxer
outbreaks claims will be included,
Tor the loss oflife in our army, navy
and marine corps, incident to the
operations of the American forces
IN the empire. 1t has been figured
out at the war Department that in
the army two officers and 30 en-
listed men were killed in action, I6
died OF wounds received in action,
As died of disease and two met their
death by accident, while seven of
hcers and 40 men were wounded.
In the marine corps IS officers and
men were killed in action, and IT
were wounded.
1t could not be learned what
amount of compensation would be
demanded of China for the loss of lite
i'll the American expedition. 1t is
believed that if the indemnity ever
is obtained from the Chinese gov
ernment the amount allowed on
this score will be distributed among
the families of deceased soldiers
and marines. These claims will
be i'll addition to the general claim
for the cost Of Chinese expedition.
The total indemnity, ii is admitted,
will be i'll the neighborhood of S25,-

is based on the assumption that the
public will have on hand on July 1 ,
months supply.
Articles upon which the tax was
reduced represent much larger
sum, but in those cases the redemp-
ton will be in the nature of an ex-
change, although these stamps, like
the others, probably will be re-
deemed in cash. Other stamps,
made to conform with the reduction
in the rate of tax, will be immed

the Government will not be very
large.

On the basis of users having a

best chance of being nominated is
Fairbanks, of Ind. OF course it is
too early to attempt to positively
pick the winner, but ofthe Senator
ial candidates Fairbanks seems to
be the coming man. He is generally
regarded as the administration
candidate just as his wife was when
she was 50 easily elected to the Of
fee of President Of the Daughters
Of the American Revolution. Every
body who has an axe to grind has
an eye on Fairbanks, and is trying
to get next" to him.
An official Of the state Depart
ment said OF Senator Morgan, whom
he had just met leaving the private

Morgan is wonderful man, and
you can depend upon it that he
will have ground broken for All

leaves the Senate. I have heard
some criticism of his constant talk.
ing for the Canal, and this reminds
me of Western Senator who blurt-
ed out in the cloak-room on the
Republican side of the chamber
that Morgan is dinging on the Can
al again. He was Immediately
snapped up by one of the Oldest
men in the Senate, also Republi-
can, who said: Don't you worry
about Morgan dinging. We laughed
at him when he dinged on Hawaii,
and he got Hawaii. We laughed
more when he dinged for years on
Cuba, and we have just about got
Cuba. We are laughing now be-
cause he is dinging on the canal,
and you can depend upon it we'll
have canal. If there were more
dingers and fewer ringers in the
Senate we would accomplish more.
Senator Bacon started this week
for the Philippines, where he in
tends to personally acquaint him
self with conditions on the island.
The information he obtains will be
utilized by the Democrats at the
next session of Congress. AS he is
a close observer and hard to fool, he
will be apt to find out just how
things are before he leaves the is
lands.
The plan of having Rear Admiral
SIMPSONS profile on the medals
that are to be prepared by the Navy
Department, in accordance with all
act of Congress, for presentation to
the men who participated in the
battle of Santiago, has, it is thought
been headed off. The storm raised
by the announcement of the plan
frightened its authors.
Secretary Root has found out that
the politicians have no monopoly
in the job of worrying him over
army appointments. More than
five hundred preachers are after the
twenty-three new chaplaincies in
the army, which carry the rank Of
captain and salary of s., 900 year
and which can be made sinecures
if those who hold the commissions
are so disposed, and they and their
preacher friends are making life a
burden for Mr.. Root. About every
known sect and denomination is
represented amoug those five hun
dred hungry applicants, and some
Of the denominations are fighting
each other as viciously as rival fac
tiops of a political party ever did
over the distribution of patronage.

President Mckinley, Senator

and Grosvenor got their heads to-
gether this week and arranged Rep
ublican State convention of Ohio
OF course, the Ohio Republicans
will thank these gentlemen for
having relieved them of all respon-
sibility in the matter of nominating
State ticket, thus enabling them
tc turn the convention into ratifi-
cation picnic. 1t was decided that
the entire State ticket, except Lieu
tenant Governor Caldwell should
be renominated. He will be turned
down because his being the attorney

citation has got him the enmity Of
the temperance element. Senator
Foraker was not a party of this
White House conference, but he
dropped in while it was going on
and asked whether the bosses in
tended to have the State convention
endorse him for reelection. They
assured him that it was, knowing
that the Republicans would have
no votes to spare in Ohio this year
and that Foraker had following
enough to make trouble if he was
antagonized; Mr.. Foraker then lett
the Ohio big four to complete their
programme.
The deadlock of the powers, in

demanded of China, is causing the
administration to realize that it has

Commission, added to President
McKinley's worries by making an
other desirable vacancy for him to
fill and the republican bosses to
fight over So many of the high
salaried positions will be retained
hold overs that the fight is extra

the cat and dog scrapping over the

The New Superintendent

The following taken from the
News-Banner is a sketch of ]. M.
Moore, the newly elected County
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton for Obion County, to succeed
r. L. Bynum, resigned:
"Mr. Moore is about 20 years OF
age; he came to ObIon County 81
years ago, Mr.. Moore is gradu-
ate of the celebrated Davidson Col
lege, in North Carolina, having
ranked high for good scholarship
at that institution. Afterwards
Mr.. Moore graduated at the famous
law school at Lebanon, Tennessee.
Mr.. Moore has taught school in
Obion County for more than p
years. 1t is needless for us to dis
cuss Mr. Moore's qualifications since
he holds in his possession writ of
habeas corpus as 1t were, which Of
ficially guarantees his fitness and
his capacity in the strongest and
most emphatic terms. The great
seal of approval of the State has
been placed upon him lit, after
due, careful and deliberate investi-
cation, has pronounced him capa-
BILE of performing the duties of the
office. Mr.. Moore is a poor man,
a poor man with a large family
that he is ambitious to educate.
Mr.. Moore is the soul of honor.
Being involved through no fault of
his own some years agone, in f.
nancial misfortunes he gave up
everything in the world he possess
ed TO help liquidate the debts, his
home, the family horse and COW,
everything. Mr.. Moore comes Of a
honorable stock, for his
grand old sainted father had before
him done that very thing. Mr..
Moore is possessed in an eminent
degree of that rugged, determined
bulldog perseverance that has
alone on ten tn isand fields wrung
victory from defeat. He does not re-
alize the meaning Of the word des-
pair or defeat which is a most /
noble ard most admirable AT tri-
butte OF character.
