ELWOOD. Ind. March 10.-ElwoOd has
not known such excitement since the days
when gas was first discovered and big in
dustries were locating here almost daily
as has existed to-day over the city's first
oil we'll. A few weeks ago the Elwood
Electric Light Company decided to drill one
OF its gas wells deeper and shoot 1t in the
hope Of securing a stronger flow of gas.
On Saturday at a depth of 17 feet in the
rock the drillers lost their tools, and after
fishing for them all day Sunday without
success IL was decided 10 shoot the well
at that depth. One hundred and twenty
quarts OF nitrOglycerin were let down I'm
the hole at > o'clock this morning and the
go devil" dropped. The explosion shook
the entire city. and following the cloud
OF debris which was sent high above the
derrick came a steady stream OF oil which
room flooded the lOwland in which the well
IS situated. After some difficulty the well
was capped, and arrangements are now be-
ing made TO place a pump and save the
flow. Hundreds OF people have visited the
site OF the well to-day. and visions OF an
oil boom are entertained in many quarters.
A year ago a trace of oil was found i'm a
well southwest OF the city, but the flow
was not profitable enough to be utilized.
If the well shot to-day meets the eXpecta-
lions of it's owners others will be sunk at
once.

GLASGOW, March 10.-Lord Rosebery
spoke before a crowded meeting in St. An

Irish demonstration in the House of Com
mons to-day, when the reading of Lord
Kitchener's telegram announcing the APP

loud Irish cheers, as a fresh indication of

intrust an independent parliament to men
who openly rejoiced at a British military
disaster.
The bulk of Lord Rosebery's speech was
devoted to a reiteration of his plea for ma
tional efficiency. He said that, while his
programme offered nothing which the pres
ent government could not give II ii chose,
he had been forced to appeal TO the Judg-
ment of the nation against the lethargy in
high places, the blind content and disregard
of vital questions which had characterized
the course of the government for the past
seven years.
