A New Ohio Gas Field.
egranl.

"Twenty-five new wells will be
drilled in the new Licking county
gas field" said one of the men who
is closely Identified with the de-
velopment of this new territory,
says the Newark, Ohio, Advocate.
He also pointed out the fact that
of the II wells drilled in the
"Homer field" as it is usually
called, not one has been a "dry
hole"
Continuing along this line, this
man ventured the prediction that
this gas territory is good for the
next 20 years, basing his guess on
the wide distribution of the gas as
shown by the location of the wells
and the steady flow, the wells
averaging about 2, 200, 900 feet, the
largest well yet being producer
of 3,O0O,0 900 feet each "a hours.
The territory is in the vicinity
of Highwater and Homer in the
northern part of this county.
Nearly every farm in Mexican and
Burlington townships has been
leased. Mr.. f. H. Everett is said
to have over 5000 acres leased,
and the GAINESVILLE people have
about that number of acres.
Mr.. Everett has three producing
wells and is now supplying his
Newark glass factory from this
territory. The Logan people have
four wells, the Columbus men four,
the Crawford d Treat Co. three,
and the GAINESVILLE men, headed by
S. M. Winn, have three. The
territory is about eight miles
square.
The Columbus men have COM
pleted survey for ten-inch pipe
proposing to carry the gas to Col
umbus. The average depth of the
wells 1900 feet.

Frauds and Real Accidents.

"No one," said the physician,
who was in sentimental mood,
''can realize the amount of fraud
that all accident insurance company
meets with, unless he ls in posi-
tion that gives him an inside view.
For a number of years l have been
connected with such company in
the capacity of an examining ply
sician, and am free to state that
a large percentage of claims against
the company that i am with con-
tain some element of fraud. A
slight accident that would cause
an uninsured man no inconvenience
becomes serious if he happens to
be carrying an accident policy. My
duties are largely with this class
of claims, and the amusing expert
ences that l have met with would
fill book.
GA few days ago 1 was summoned
to hospital to examine man who
claimed to have had his hearing
totally destroyed by the premature
explosion of some blasting powder
l had an idea from the start that
the man was schaming, but all the
testsIthat 1 could apply had no eff
feet whatever, and apparently he
was stone deaf. Still l WASH sat
isfied, and resolved to try little
strategy. Coaching the nurse be-
fore hand how to act, l entered the
room hastily and cried:
"'The hospital is afirel Nevel
mind the deaf man! 1t is too late
to save him! Save yourselfT
"Then we both hurried to the
door, but the patient was quicker
and reached it before. we did. H,
had the good sense to realize tina
the game was up and he nevel
showed up again"

GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPH.
Has Marconi Thrown n Scare Into
the Water WaEonf

HIS NthHCUhh - SIAAG ANN
the Water WaEonf
There comes a story from Washing
ton, whether true or not we do not
profess to be able TO say, to the effect
that a subcommittee of the senate COM
mittee on postofTices is in the throes Of
preparing a bill which calls for moth
ing less than government ownership of
the telegraph lines of the country.
Here is, in part, Washington dis
patch on the subject In the Philadel-
phia Record:
"An administration bill for the acqui-
sition of this property Is now being
prepared by subcommittee of the SEN
ate postofiice committee and will be In
troduced at an early date. 1t will have
the support of all the strong Republic
an senators. The adherence of the
Democrats has been promised, as their
party has always advocated govern
ment ownership of telegraphs.
"The plan was originated by MIR.
Roosevelt's closest personal and polit-
ical friends, who called into consulta-
ton number of men prominent In the
political and business world, and with
their aid defininte plan of action was
formed. The bill will be made popular
with the people through the expediency
of an immediate reduction In telegraph
tolls of from 10 to 20 per cent.
"The bonds used to pay for the lines
will be accepted as security for the cir
culation of national banks, and in this
way the influence of every national
bank in the United States will be OBJ
| tanned for the proposition.
"The political allegiance of all EN-
ployees now in the telegraph business
would be secured by the promise that
after Mr.. Roosevelt's election they
would be placed under civil service
protection"
The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says there is nothing. intrinsically i'm
| probable in this rumored effort of the
| government to get possession Of the tel
egraph lines. 1t should have done so,
in fact, many years ago, when the price
demanded by the companies would not
have been one-quarter of what they
(the companies) will demand now.
The only thing that will be an OBJ
stacle in the way of the governments
purchase of the telegraph will be the
immense sum at which the telegraph
companies will appraise their proper
ty, considerable portion of that sum
being represented by nothing more
substantial than water" The total
capitalization of the Western Union
and Postal aggregates $171000,000, di-
vided as follows: Western Union stock,
$92,000,000; bonds, $22,000,000; leased
line stock, $11,oO0,OO0. The CONNER
cial Cable company, which includes
the Postal telegraph lines, stock, $24,-
100000; bonds, $22,000,000 Dividends
Of per cent are now paid on this
stock, and per cent is used as sink
ing fund.
The government will certainly not
pay the telegraph companies on their
present capitalization, most Of which
is water, but it would be easy to ar.
rive at the valuation of the property
by determining how much it would
cost to establish duplicate of the sys.
TEN now operated by the company.
That the government ought to acquire
the telegraph is indisputable, and we
hope that the rumor of intended legis
lation may prove to be well founded.

Want a Representative.

Representative Rannells, of Vim
ton-Hocking counties, introduced
a resolution in the State Legislature
providing for the submission to a
vote of the people of proposition
to amend the Constitution so as to
give each county at least one rep
resentative in the General Assem-
bly,. Now, by reason of small pop
ulation, the following counties are
deprived of separate representa-
ton: Adams, Pike, Ashland, Car
roll, Holmes, Harrison, Delaware,
Morrow, Fayette, Madison, Lake,
Geauga, Hooking, Vinton, Morgan,
and Noble.
The growth of cities is increas-
ing their representation, and Ran
nells has figured out that ten years
from now, if the ratio keeps up,
the following counties will lose
separate representation: Fulton,
Medina, Ottawa, Union, Wyandot,
Clinton, Preble, Shelby, Warren
and Williams, making "a out of SO
counties that would not have sepa-
arate representation in the House
of Observation-Disclosures Tel

New Superintendent.

At a meeting of the Board of
Trustees of the Boys Industrial
School held at the Chittenden ho-
tel in Columbus Tuesday afternoon,
c. D. HilleS, who for two years has
been superintendent of the reform
Atory, notified the board of his in
tention to accept the management
of the New York Juvenile institu-
tion, which was rendered him a
short time ago. AT the request of
the board, however, he agreed to
remain at the head of the Lancas-
ter reformatory until May, as he
would not be wanted in New York
until that time. Col. c.. B. Ad-
ans, assistant adjutant general Of
Ohio, was unanimously elected to
succeed Mr.. Hilles in the spring.
The reformatry which Mr.. Hilles
will assume charge in New York is
a private institution maintained
by endowment. 1t is literally sup
piled with funds and it is the in
tention of the management to make
it = model reformatory. Mr.. Hilles
will receive compensation of $8,-
600 per year, without expenses, or
SO, 200 per year with house and
living expenses.

Growing Sentiment In Support of
the Democratic Demand.


the Democratic Demand.
The plan of compelling the senate to
act upon the question of popular elec-
tion of senators by having two-thirds
of the state legislatures pass resolu-
tions to that effect is making steady
progress. According to the New York
Journal, Senator Gebhardt has intro
duced the following resolutions in the
senate of New Jersey:
Be it resolved by the senate of the state
of New Jersey. the general assembly con-
curing herein, that the one hundred
and twenty-sixth legislature of the state
of New Jersey hereby makes application
to the congress, under the provisions of
article 8 of the constitution of the United
States, for the calling Il a convention to
propose an amendment % the constitution
of the United States making the United
States senators elective in the several
states by the direct vote of the people.
And be 1t resolved that the secretary of
state is hereby directed to transmit copies
OF this application to the senate and house
of representatives of the congress and
also copies to the members of the said
senate and house of representatives from
this state; also to transmit copies hereof
to the presiding officers of each of the
states requesting their cooperation.
This is the sort of thing that counts.
If thirty states take action in this form
(and thirty-two have already put them
selves on record in favor of the princi-
ple), the senate will no longer be able
to .obstruct the popular will.
Indeed, it will not DE necessary to
wait for the whole thirty. The mere
knowledge that such a movement is
going on, with near prospects of sue
cess, will make the senate come down.
There IL nothing the powers at Wash
ington would not do TO prevent the as
sembling Of constitutional conven-
ton, for such convention would not
be likely to stop with anything so mild
as the election of senators by the peo-
pie.
Indeed, what has been done already
has stirred up both ends of the national
capitol If the states whose legisla-
lures are now in session should pass
resolutions like those introduced by
Senator Gebhardt In New Jersey, 1t
would not be surprising to see the SEN
ate foreStall any more dangerous pro-
ceedings of the sort by sending to the
states a constitutional amendment pro-
viding for the popular election Of SEN
ators.

What Of Admiral schIey.

President by Judge Advocate Lem
ly and Solicitor Hanna Of the
Schley court of inquiry is very
drastic and pointed in many re-
spects. 1t is aimed to destroy ev-
cry feather of glory that has here
tofore been accorded to Admiral
Schley's cap.
1t says that he was not comman-
der at Santiago. 1t charges that
his only part in the battle was the
command of the Brook lyn in which
he made two grevious errors, first,
by leaving an opening in the battle
lines through which the Spanish
feet tried to escape, md second,
by endangering the Brooklyn and
impeding the progress of the Tex
az. In other words it takes every
credit away from Admiral Schley
except the bungling performance
of the Brooklyn, as it represents it.
In many respects the decision of
the court of inquiry was regarded
as an outrage upon an American
officer. 1t is not to be compared
with this comment, which says
@h.+ =, 30 o,. ,,az.o1 80 tha Anari
can fleet received or obeyed an or
der from Admiral Schley during
the battle Of Santiago, except the
Brooklyn.
Still it was Admiral Schley who
brought the feet to Santiago, who
established the blockade, who
planned the loop, who ordered the
battle, whose ship led the fight.
Still he was the senior officer pres
ent and in directing the course Of
the Brooklyn, shaped the course of
all other ships. 1t was his ship
that drew the Spanish fleet into
the sea and engaged it into fight
which resulted in its complete de-
struction.
The court says it is n matter to
be settled between himself and Ad-
miral Sampson as to who was in
command. Admiral Sampson was
nine miles distant when the fight
occurred. Admiral Sampson ar
rived on the scene twenty minutes
after the white flag had been hoist
ed from the last Spanish ship and
against all rules of army or naval
batteries, against all privileges of
legitimate warfare caused his flag
ship, the New York, to fire shot
at the Vlscaya twenty-five minutes
after flag Of truce had been float
ed from her top-mast.
Admiral Schley was present and
responsible. Admiral Sampson had
been suffering for three years from
ataxla, and has since lost practic-
ally all control of himself. Admi-
raj Schley was acting all the time
upon his own Judgment. 1t is
shown that Admiral Sampson new
er gave a direct order-one at least
not without modification. At that
time even he was afraid to trust
himself and others were afraid to
trust him.
Under these circumstances Ad-
miral Schley, as senior officer, per-
formed his duty as best he knew
how. He assumed all responsible
ity and trusted his subordinates
with commanding their own ships
under his supervision. He did make
q sign for all ships to close in on
the Spanish feet. Whether or not
they obeyed him, they closed in
and the victory was won by every
American present, from the COM
manding officer down to the coal
beavers doing their duty.
No board of inquiry-no tribu-
nal on earth-can overcome these
facts. The people know them.
They know that if Grant was the
hero of Vicksburg, or Wellington
the victor at Waterloo, so was Ad-
miral Winfield Scott Schley the
victor at Santiago.
