Few people can understand the feel
ings of the pugilist as he is being counted
out. He hears the seconds licked off.
He struggles to rise, but struggles in
vain. He has lost the fight.
There are some who are making
losing fight for life that can appreciate
this; those whose lungs are diseased.
With every tick of the watch, they know
that they are being counted out
The great question is how can quick
rally be made to continue the fight
against disease? Many who have asked
that question have found a satisfactory
answer in the use of DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. It cures bronchitis,
obstinate, deep-seated coughs, henor-
rhage, night sweats, e1naciation, and
other conditions which if neglected or
unskilfully treated may find fatal
termination in consumption.

10 REFINE 1ExAs OIL.

Very little has been heard lately from
ment of riches in crude oil at Beau
mont: yet the owners and managers of
the productive wells have been active
and vigilant in efforts to find markets
for their product. Now it is announced
that their efforts are supplemented by
preparations for refining on a rather
large scale. Several distilling plants
are being erected near Beaumont, Port
Arthur and elsewhere in Texas near the
source of supply. 1t is stated that mil
lions of dollars are being invested il
buildings, stills storage tanks and pine
lines in the hope of producing fair
grade of Illuminating oil. 1t is known
that the Texas oil is not so rich as that
in some other fields. Early analysis
gave something like 8 per cent of nap
tina and gasoline, and about Is per cent
of kerosene, and as contrasted with
Pennsylvania petroleum., which con-
tains from I5 to 20 per cent of the for
mer and so to 60 per cent of the latter,
its ;nferiority was disclosed. 1t was
hence thought to be good only for fuel.
AS the Russian refiners, however, now
get only 90 per cent of Illuminating oil
cut of the Baker petroleum, and labor
under greater disadvantages and cost
in doing so, the Texas we'll owners hope
is estimated that by a slight departure
from established standards the Texas
refiners might produce more than fif-
teen barrels of Illuminating oil for
every hundred of crude petroleum
treated and have considerable residium
20 sell as fuel.
What many have anticipated is said
10 have happened. 1t is reported from
Beaumont that the wells have ceased
to spout, and that 1t will be necessary
to obtain the oil hereafter by pumping,
tho the cessation of pressure of gas
should not De taken as uehhite iilui-
cation of the exhaustion of oil, for the
gas is bound to come to the surface
first. This subsistence in spouting is not
surprising. in view of the $50, more or
less, of productive wells within limit
ed area on Spindle Top. The public
will hone that great reservoir of oil
exists there, and that the new efforts at
refining may produce profitable re-
turns.

HIGH TIDE IN FOREIGN IMMIGRATION.

Observers of foreign immigration ex-
United States in 1902 to break the &C.
ords OF all previous years. The month
CT April made a new statistical record
when 1867 foreigners. all steerage
passengers and bona fide immigrants,
We're landed at New York. Daily rec
ords went down before the figures of
May 8, when 6,213 immigrants were adj
mitted at the same port. May bids fair
to break the high record set by April.
Since 1897 when the figures for the
year were 142,400. there has been
steady increase of foreigne immigra-
ton. 1901 set the mark at 40S,226. AMI
the present year is expected to pass be-
yond the half million.
The great prosperity of the United
States Is responsible for this increase.
The food is attracted by the certainty
of opportunity in America, and will
continue so long as this country re-
mains prosperous. Foreign laborers
are urging their friends and relatives
to come TO this country, and sending
money to their assistance. In the years
of Industrial depression which followed
the close of 1892 there was a great fall
ing away of immigration. Work was
hard to find and the laborer of southern
Europe could do quite as well at home
as in America. Farm products were
being raised at loss and the German
or Scandinavian farmer was quite as
well off in Prussia or Sweden as in this
country. When prosperous times re-
turned the tide of immigration began to
flow back to America. But sta
tistics show there has been
change at once notable and alarm
ing in the character and nation
atty of the Immigrants. Irish, German
and Scandinavian immigration has
fallen off seriously and been replaced
by Poles Slovaks, Italians, Asyrians
and Greeks. Russia is furnishing thou
sands of Films, who gravitate directly
to the copper mines, but who are ar
Industrious and home-making people.
The food that is pouring In from
southern Europe and from Asia is the
reverse of the Woodworking and pro-
ductive class of German and Scandina-
Wan farmers whose place it has taken.
Ignorant, debased and in many cases
diseased, no good can accrue from the
injection into our population of these
classes,utterly American and impos-
sible of Americanization. Neither As
syrian nor Greek is a producer. The

Then Brown he read a paper, and he re-

Till he could prove that those same

Then Brown he smiled bitter smile,
and said he was at fault:

cHAFFEE ON WALKERS ACoulTTAL.

General Chaf1ee'S dlSapproNal VI lily
acauittal of Major Waller by the court
martial which sat upon his case ana
that of Lieutenant Day is additional
evidence of 4 fact previously accepted
by the people at large-that the honor
of the country is safe in the hands OF
such men as Chaffee and Roosevelt.
General Chaffee asserts quite plainly
that Major Waller should have been
properly disciplined by the court-mar-
tial for his order to shoot natives above
a certain age. Not that the court
should have found him guilty of muir
der but of some minor offense. The
general takes into consideration MAJOR
Walters physical condition. Afflicted
with a raging fever, PROSTATE with
pain and in highly nervous and irrl-
table state from his physical ailments,
severity became a natural consequence.
But General Chaffee would have the
court fail of acauittal for the good or
the service and the honor of the army.
General Chaffee introduces peculiar
system in his criticism of Lieutenant
Day, the officer tried with Major Wal

have discbeyed Major Walters order.
To the army this will seem an lnnova.
ton inimicai to good discipline. The
subordinate who disobeys or fails to
carry strictly TO a conclusion the orders
of his superior assumes responsible
ty charged with most serious conse-
quences to himself and his career as an
army officer. His duty has been to dc
unfiinchingly and leave responsibility
to the officer whose orders he has re-
ceived and acted under. Unquestioning
obedience of orders is the key to all dis
cipline. Disobedience in hostile coun-
try and in the face of the enemy is next
to treason. 1t is true that Lieutenant
Day might have saved "regrettable
incident'' 10 the country and much EN-
barassment to Major Walters superb
ors by disobedience of orders. How
ever, he acted up to the necessities OF
discipline and the traditions of the
army by a strict and unreasoning obe-
oiepce For this he should scarcely be
made the subject of harsh criticism.
General Chaffee's disapproval OF the
findings Of the court-martial will meet
the hearty concurrence of the president
and the public. lnhumanity and BAR
barism in the conduct Of war is not to
be permitted But the public and the
president should not lose sight of the
fact that war is not a summer eXcur-
