Petroleum has been found in n zin,
mine shaft almost within the city
limits OF Joplin. 1t was struck about
100 feet below the surface. The strike
was first noticed when oil began ooz-
ing out OF a hole in rock being drill
ed by the ground men. The flow
grew stronger until the miners stop
ped operations. Several barrels soon
flowed into the shaft. II the flow
continues, the shaft will be turned in
to an oil well instead of a mine.

MRS. U. s. GRANT DEAD.
Widow Of the Ex-President Expires at
Washington.


Washington, Dec. 14.-Mrs. Ulysses
j. Grant, widow Of ex-President
Grant, died at her residence in this
city at lilo o'clock tonight. Death
was due to heart failure, Mrs. Grant
having suffered for some years from
valvular disease OF the heart, which
was aggravated by a severe attack
OF bronchitis. Her age prevented
her ral'ying from the attacks. Her
daughter, Nellie Grant Sartoris, was
the only one Of her children with her
at the time Of her death, her three
sons, who had been summoned here,
all being out Of the city.
Mrs. Grant has had a life full OF ro-
nance paralleled by that of few
American women. As Miss Julia
Dent, daughter OF Frederick Dent,
granddaughter OF Captain George
Dent, who had led the forlorn hope
at Fort Montgomery, when that
fortress was stormed by Mad An
thony" Wayne, and descendant OF
Joshua Wrenshall, one OF the early
English settlers in this country, she
had reason to be proud of her family.
At the age Of Is she returned from
boarding school to her fathers home
in st. Louis, where she was soon af-
ter engaged to Lieutenant Grant,
then of the Fourth infantry. They
were married in 1913. From this
humble beginning Mrs Grant lived
to become the first lady of the land
and to h I'VE honors and riches show
cred upon her. She was in the best
sense the companion as we'll as the
wife OF General Grant. All during
the war she was near to him when
ever the exigencies of service would
permit her to share his privations.
Her life in the White House was alto.
gether enjoyable and she accompa-
MED General Grant on his famous
journey around ihe world. As she
said herself. Having learned les
son from my predecessor. Penelope,
| accompanied my Ulysses in his
wanderings around the world"
Mrs. Grant was wealthy woman.
Patriotic friends OF the general gave
The family presents Of value besides
the New York home, she had pen
sion OF $5, 900 a year from the gov
ernment, and the proceeds from the
sale OF her husbands memoirs have
been nearly half a million dollars.
Besides the New York home, Mrs.
Grant owned residences in Washing
ton and San Diego, Cal and summer
cottages at Bar Harbor and in
Canada.

A Snow Storm 10 Nebraska.

Lincoln. N-b. Dee ia snow
storm haa raga in Nebriska aImust
Continuously since Saturday. The
snow fell steadily yesterday. The pre-.
cipitation is now from eight inches
to more than foot in depth and
covers every square foot Of territory
in the state. A portion OF previous
SHOWS was still on the ground, and
grave results are feared in the range
country in the western section, where
cattle and sheep will find their graz
ing covered by deep blanket OF
snow. The weather is mild and an
early thaw would relieve the situa
tion, but otherwise the live stock
losses will ,be heavy. Railroad traffic
is impeded and snow plows have been
pressed into service to open up the
line. Trains are running from 2 to 6
hours late.
The storm threatens widespread
discomfort in view Of an impending
coal famine. Soft coal il used in an
amount several times greater than
in any previous winter, a result of
the strike, which has taken anthra
cite entirely out Of the market. The
stocks q coal in many towns are
now practically exhausted, and the
railroads., which are short already
have been forced to supply fuel to
prevent the inhabitants from letting
their fires gO out. A prolonged
blockade OF the roads from a storm,
which now seems certain il the present
storm continu 9, would block coal
shipments and cause general distress.

In newspaper interview, Judge Mills
mayor of Kalamazoo, says Kalamazoo
needs better fire protection and advocates
bonding the city to provide for the ex-
pense. The fact that the city fire de.
partment was powerless against the big
Michigan Buggy company fire, by which
the main factory building was destroyed
with a loss of 100000 and insurance OF
SS7 900 last week Thursday night, called
out the expression. Mr. Mills also thinks
the city should appropriate money to aid
in rebuilding the big factory. He says
"Other cities give sites and erect factories
to secure new concerns This is better
than a new one and we must help it. A
popular subscription would fall heavily
on a few men as it always does and /
should like to see the city council vote
money for new factory"

They thought that the trouble was over
When the president went for Miles;

When Maclay was kicked out of sight
But the Schley case'l never be settled
Till they get it settled right.
They may view and review the verdict,
And approve or set it aside,
But the Schley case'll still be going
When the last of the heroes has died;
For ne Ser till it's rightly settled
Will it pass out of public sight
And the people will never, never
Agree when it's settled right.
