The crevasse is three-quarters of a

been reported. but several weak spots
are being watched by engineers. At
Memphis the food situation is growing
more serious. In the, northern part of
the city hundreds of families have left
their homes for high. ground and every

A FAMILY PASS.

Ewing S. Glasscock, farmer, near
Harrisburg, ILL.,. who saved a Big Four
train from being wrecked, has received,
in acknowledgement of his services, pass
for himself and family, good on any
branch of the system, for ninety-nlne
years, but as nothing is said about it be-
ing transferable or bequeathable, it is
feared that the familys limit will expire
before that of the pass does, and the
members won't really get their money S
worth.-New Orleans States.
And what more could they want-the
round, round earth? To secure "a pas"
on a railroad or to show some men
would sell their birth-right for "a mess
of potash''-beg pardon, "a pass"

QUITE ENOUGH OF BRYAN"

IS QUITE ENOUJf1* oF DIN AN
ct must be evident to the supporters
of William Jennings Bryan-the writer
was one of them in the campaigns OF
1896 and Iooo-that the Nebraskan has
developed into a political n,arplot and
nuisance, of whom the country is grow
ing awfully tired. The Bryan Of today is
NOT the Bryan of eight years ago. Then
he was a,nan of gentle temper and per
feet seif-possessiofi, but having been
beaten in two presidential elections ne
has become a man with a grievance and
an insatiate appetite for revenge. He be-
lieves, or pretends to believe, that every
man who did not blindly follow his
financial theory should be driven out of
the Democratic party, especially Grover
Cleveland, and those closely associated
with the ex-president.s q.
As we have already remarked, the
Democratic party is getting tired Of Mr..
Bryan and his deliberate mischief max
ing, and it is TO be hoped that when the
next Democratic National Convention is
held he will be dumped overheard and
given an opportunity to Organize party
for his exclusive USE 1t is as certain as
anything can be that the Democratic
party has quite enough of Mr.. Bryan,
that its exclusive use. by him is. no long
er possible He i now engaged in max
ing trouble for the Democracy that has
twice laonored him, but in the end we are
quite sure the trouble will roost at his
own doors. The Bryan party of 1904 will
neither be formidable nor frightening
New Orleans States.
QUITE ENOUGH OF CLEVELAND.
In the same time and temper, as indi-
Gated by the excerpts from the New Or
leans, we may say that it is quite evident
that the Democratic party, the six mil

posed the Cleveland Mckinley combine.

Be good policy to belittle Mr.. Bryan or
70 strive to place him in false attitude
Any and every such attempt will only in
cite retaliatory feeling towards Mr.
Cleveland and the others who, with him,
deserted the Democracy in the hour of
need, during the progress Of the battle
against McKinleyism when Democracy
had the right to expect the loyal support
OF every man. who claimed allegiance to
the party. II is not true that Bryan is
engaged in making trouble for the
Democracy, etc. He is simply directing
his influence to restrain and defeat the
Cleveland combines which would control
the party, and in the same spirit we may
assert that the Cleveland party Of 1904
will neither be formidable nor frighten-I
ing The Democrats, the six millions
and more who were loyal to Bryan and
The principles Of Democracy, have quite
enough Of Cleveland.

BartIesviIle March 26.-The Cudahy

greatly to the surprise of the operators
and field men. In fact the well, on ac-
count of its proximity to Nos and
was regarded with considerable dis
trust and scant hope was entertained OF
it making a yield out OF the ordinary.
The well was drilled into the sand
about o'clock last Monday morning
at 1890 feet. When the strata had
been penetrated to a depth of twelve
or fifteen inches the stem was with
drawn and the bailer sent down. Pres
entity it came up brimful of the green
ish illuminant peculiar to the Barties-
VILE field 1t was sent down a second
and a third time, returning full of the
oil. Drilling was then resumed and
continued until a depth of 1.295 feet was
reached, in the meantime the oil gush-
ing over the top of the seventy foot
derrick When the drill was withdrawn
for the last time the oil speedily arose
in the hole reaching height OF 500
feet in an hours time. The yield of the
we'll is variously estimated. anywhere
from 100 to 200 barrels daily.
