a CHASTITY FIND

Frank Lundgren, while hunting ii the
town Of oshawa last Tuesday, made q

Coroner Merritt, who proceeded to the
scene. the following morning and found
the victim Of q suicidal mania suspended
id the air.
Further investig cation showed that the
nan was 3 patient at the state hospital
and an inquest was held yesterday The

merce aggregation at Mankato satur-
day, the score resulting u to s in favor
Of the Commercials. /.
For akillfnI playing the high school
team was far superior 70 their heavier
opponents and had it not been for the
fact that they were compelled ito play
new men who did not thoroughly un..
derstand the signals the resulting score
would have been quite different.
The two touchdowns made BY the
bookkeepers occurred in the first half
and were the result of series Of end
and tackle rushes. The high school
team pushed the ball to the ten yard
line but lost on a tackle behind the line.
The chief features Of the game were
the hurdling Of one Of the Commercials,
the thirty five yard line run Of Herbert
Hubbard and the tackling Of Charley
Emmerich and drop kick from the
twenty-five yard line by Fred Hubbard,
giving New Ulm her score Of five points.
Capt. Frank Burg, the Republican

view has known Mr.. Burg for many

highly Of HIM, both as an individual and

enjoys the respect of the entire COM

today there is q manufacturing institu-
ton in New Ulm bearing his name, that

the politician, as he saw his almost empty
plate set before him.

Der, 1862, to the close of the war, is
above criticism. lie enlisted at the
age of 16 (having been born in 1S46)
in the MacClernand Guards, which sub
sequently became company l., Six
teenth Illinois volunteer cavalry, and
was consequently only 10 when dis
charged.
''When a prisoner of war at Ander-
sonville and other places, his excellent
qualities as a soldier and comrade
were fully tested. He refused re-
peated offers from the rebel au-
thorities of assignment to duty
outside the stockade, preferring to
decline all favors and remain with
his fellow prisoners in distress. lie
was known to all as Little Illinois,
and was member of the band of Reg
ulators, who arrested, tried and hanged
six RAIDERS July II, 1864, and thus
contributed to the restoration of law,
order and security o life among the
2j,000 prisoners then confined at
AndersonyilIe, many of whom were
helpless and wholly at the mercy OF
the lawless. This incident shows his
mettle as boy, and was prophetic of
the answering loyalty he has shown
his comrades and the untiring efforts
he has made to advance their inter-
ests continuously since the war.
"As Il grand army man he requires
no introduction anywhere among his
comrades. His membership in the or
ganiZation dates back to 1866, and he
has been at all times during the in
tervening So years the loyal and un-
failing friend of the order, never evad-
ing or shirlling any duty or service
within his ability TO perform for the
advancement of its interests or those
of his comrades.
"ln 1874 he became managing edit
or of the Toledo Blade, Toledo, o., a
paper of wide influence and extensive
circulation throughout the country,
and Immediately made it a strong adj
vocate of veterans rights, and in 1884
he accepted the managing editorship
of the National Tribune, at Washing
ton, ID. C., which he yet retains; thus
making period of 28 years during
which he has had editorial control Of
papers of national reputation and in
tluence."

RICH IN PETROLEUM.

Especial Los Angeles (CaI) Letterl

Especial Los Angeles (Cal) Letter.1
TT WAS remarked recently that
there is hardly poor working
woman in Los Angeles who has
not lost more or less money by in
vesting in oil wells. While facts are
exaggerated in this statement, 1T re-
mains true that the petroleum craze,
in its seasons, more thoroughly than
any other enterprise i'll southern
California, drains the pockets of
large numbers of citizens who can
i'll afford to lose their small saVAlgs.
1t is undoubtedly true that the poor
people of this state are wretchedly,
sordidly poor; and the remembrance
of better days and a hope of adding
to a depleted income causes many
to listen with over-willing ears to
smooth stories concerning the oily
product. There are still unwary in
divduals who seem not to be con-
tent unless they are risking burning
their fingers, but the petroleum in
dustry is now reduced to a very safe
working basis. A radical though
gradual change has been taking
place during the last six months in
methods of conducting this business.
Instead of the eagerness formerly
displayed to secure the oil in tanks,
care is now being directed toward
arranging for better transportation
to such market as existed and in
creasing that market. For, although
there was an increase of 80 per cent.
in the oil product of California last
year over that of 1900, the decline
of 37.7 cents per barrel, resulted in
n loss of about $2,960,000 This has
caused a decline in the amount of
development. being made. In May,
there were 122 rigs and 533 wells
drilling. while in June there were
1l3 rigs and 529 wells drilling. This
is greater reduction than at first

in the Kern river field SO were sus-
pended, leaving "a in operation. In
the McKittrick-Sunset fields, of the
167 drilling lis were suspended.
The same state of affairs exists
more or less in other portions of the
state. However, the increase, in
June. to 1,O3O barrels per day, from
625 in May, in the Carreaga and
Fullerton fields has kept up the gen
eral average. There is talk of eX-
tending railroad lines in different di-
rections in order to tap the oil lands
now nearly inaccessible to market.

proud of her ewly-acquired fuel

ing extent, and this fact has given a
wide spread impression that it is all
too heavy This is a mistake as
there are all grades of oil in tho
state. In fact, near Newhall, are the
white wells where perfectly clear
kerosene, ready for illuminating
purposes, has been found. This ter
ritory is, so far, supposed to be linn
tied, being confined to portion of
Placerita canyon.
The first we'll was drilled at a
large expense owing to the quality
of the rock formation, but after
months of hard labor the operators
were rewarded by a fine floor; in
fact, for short time, the well was
a gusher, throwing stream 100 feet
into the air-a 400-barrel tank was
filed in "a hours. They tried boring
deeper, but the pipe detected and
the flow was "Smothered." 1t IS
thought that the removal of the pipe
and redrilling in n straight line Will
bring oil in paying quantities again.
1t filters through the rock in some
way until it is distilled, and is worth
from four to five dollars per bar
rel on the field. The smell of ma
tural gas meets one at every turn in
Placerita canyon, and in some por-
tions of the state there are paying,
flowing gas wells. 1t is probable
that the Los Angeles fields have pro-
duced more oil than others in the
state, although the greater portion
of the product has been of low
grade, and most of the wells must
be pumped at considerable expense.
One skeptic who believed that there
were no flowing wells in the city was
invited to look at a gusher when the
cap was removed. with the result
that a new $50 suit of clothing
was ruined. In oil more than in any
other industry one must look for
the unexpected to happen. Most of
the wells produce in large quanti-
ties at first. but woman who lives
in the midst of some wells, near
Westlake Park, stated recently that
some of the wells at the rear of her
residence formerly furnished 65 bar
rels daily each. Now it is necessary
| to pump G5 wells to obtain that
amount of petroleum.
| In 1863 well costing $G5. 900 was
! drilled on Hoover street, but the busi-
ness was not pushed.

During the fiscal year ended June
30, 1902, the bureau of navigation re-
ports that 1867 vessels of 473,0S1
gross tons were built in the United
States, against 1919 vessels of 49S,6l6
tons for the previous fiscal year. The
decrease i'll tonnage is in sailing YES
sells, canal-boats and barges. New
steel steamers aggregate 275,419 tons,
compared with 235,265 tons last year.
Included In the total new tonnage
are "a vessels, each of over 1000 tons,
aggregating 315,O62 tons, or two
thirds of the output. OF this large
construction Al steel steamers of 1885,
631 tons were built on the great
lakes.
The output of steel steamers on the
seaboard has been much below the
Indications of last July. The launch
ing of nearly every large steamer has
been delayed from three to eight
months and some are still on the
ways. The delays have been partly
due to the steel strike last summer,
to the great demand for structural
steel and to low ocean freights and
the lack of new shipping orders,
which has left builders and owners
without motive for haste.
Last July $500 tons of ocean steel
steamers were under construction or
under contract, while at present only
100000 tons are under construction
