found GAS IN WELL
important Discovery Made
in franklin County
ON DR.. JOHNSON'S PLACE
Down a Depth of 716 Feet-Copper
Ore Found at 600 Feet and
Foot of Mica.
JOHNSON'S PLACE

Dr. r. S. Johnson, who is in the city,
reports the finding of considerable
quantities of natural gas on his farm
in Franklin county located in section
3-12-33. nine miles southeast OF KAN
lotus. Well bOrers have been at work
on huge we'll on his place for sew
eral weeks, and at a depth OF 900
feet the first indication of the gas
were encountered. The we'll is now
quantities of gas arisig from the
depths is increasing. No water in any
appreciate quantities has as yet been
struck, but drilling will be continued
for some time yet in hopes of striking
a good flow
At the 600-fOOt mark a peculiar sub
stance Of greenish color and feeling
greasy to the touch was brought up
by the drill, and a few feet further
down a strata of copper quartz was
encountered. Copper in considerable
quantity was found in the rock. \
strata Of almost pure mica was also
struck in the downward course.
The indications of gas. however, is
of more Importance to DIR. Johnson
he says. than either copper quartz OF
mica and if its presence increases he
may continue the we'll down several
hundred feet further in an effort to
tap a reservoir. He is also of the be-
lief that oil can be struck, though it
would possibly require boring to a
depth Of 1900 to 1000 feet

Franklin County Crops Do
Not Look Good
VIEWS OF W. 6. VANVALktNBURG
Farmers Are Not Discouraged, How
ever. and Will Not Let Loose
Their Holdings.

Crops in Franklin county are look
ing no wOrSe than on Eureka fiat, but
they are badly in need OF rain, and
the prospects are that a light yield
will be the result of this years work,
said w. G.. Van Valkenberg, United
States land commissioner at Council.
who left for that town last night after
spending two days visiting his family
here.
Farmers are rather blue over the
outlook, but they have faith in the
country and Will stay WITH it. There
may be a few who will be obliged to
let loose. but not many. The mere
fact that crops all over the wheat
belt give promise of partial failure
leads them to believe that had the
yield been normal in other localities
it would have been good IN Fraklin
county, and they Will stay with it.
Crops are not a failure by any
means. as in many localities a good
yield will be harvested. Up around
Lind the wheat looks pretty short, but
around COnnell many Will harvest
from Is to 20 bushels an acre and
others viii get more than this. The
county is all right and the land is
worth every cent that is being asked
for it,"
Mr. Van Valkenberg said that Con
nell is enjoying a steady growth. The
new water system has been put in
and many new buildings are being
erected. The town is settled in the
new site and general air Of prCsperi-
ty prevails.

From the applause given each num-

more than ever before. The Hunting

was necessary. Sigr. MarinO has re-

PLAYING Cards In Russia.

In Russia the manufacture of play
ing cards is an imperial monopoly. In
1S4S $4,000 packs were issued daily,
but the demand was so much in excess
of this that q petition was addressed
to the car praying for a still more
liberal supply. Among the card deyo-
tees the Russian soldiers are cOnspicu-
Gus. They commonly carry packs in
their pockets but when there is an
actual call to arms and they prepare
themselves for the battlefield they
make it a point to get rid of all their
cards. This is due to q superstition
amounting to conviction, which leads
them to believe that to retain them
upon their persons at such a time
would be to court grave disaster.

rne passlons and Health.

"The passions effect on the health Is
not sufficiently regarded" says ply
stefan in the Philadelphia Record.
1.-THE passion which is best for the
health is avarice. 1t keeps one cool,
encourages regular and industrious
habits. leads to abstemiousness and
makes against all excess. And hence
the avaricious, the misers, live to
great age. The misers of history were
all noted for their longevity. Rage Is
very bad for one The passion causes
an irregular, intermittent beating OF
the heart, and the intermittency In
time may become chronic. Hatred ere
ates fever If we hate, we grow lean.
This hot passion eats us Ike flame.
Fear is bad for the nerves, the heart
and the brain, and therefore we should
never permit ourselves TO be afraid.
But the strangest effects Of all have
been caused by the passion of grief.
The medical books record cases where,
coming suddenly In violent shock, 1t
has caused q loss of blood from the
lungs in one person, paralysis OF the
tongue In another and failure OF sight
or temporary blindness In a third"

Children and Growth.

The year of greatest growth in boys
is the seventeenth; in girls, the four
teenth. While girls reach full height
in their fifteenth year, they acquire full
weight at the age Of twenty. Boys are
stronger than girls from birth TO the
eleventh year; then girls become supe-
rior physically to the seventeenth year,
when the tables are again turned and
remain so. From November to April
children grow very little and gain no
weight; from April to July they gain
in height, but lose in weight, and from
July to November they increase greatly
in weight, but not in height.

An Irish Duel.

The annals of the Emerald Isle bris-
tie with incidents of dueling in which
Irish humor, If not at all times Irish
bravery, is conspicuous. On one oc-
casion Sir Jonah Darlington fought a
duel with a barrister named McNal!y.
The latter had one leg shorter than the
other and because 1t was his habit
when in a hurry to take two humping
steps with the short leg to bring up the
space made by the long one he was
nicknamed zone Pound Two" McNal-
ly could get no one of his bar to fight
him, and so he challenged harrington,
who good naturally exchanged shots
in the Phoenix park.
The baronet hit his opponent in the
braces, then called the "gallOws," and
feared he had killed him. When the
result was made known, one Of the
seconds shouted. "Mac, you are the
only rogue ever knew who was saved
by the gallOws"

WEDNESDAY EVENING. JUNE 8, 1908,

Tho etorv of Irish pOplin is a curious
ono Lady Carew was to be presented
Of tbe court OF Louis Philippe. She
took with her to Paris a length OF lrisn
noplin. which was then first being
made in Belfast. 1t was Of a creamy
white. embroidered all over with little
dots and sprigs of gold. Lady Carew
took II to Partisan dressmaker, ana
the modiste went into ecstasies over IT,
On her way up the stairs to the re-
ception rooms at the Tuileries Lady
Carew felt a pull at her dress. AFRAID
~ njcl,pockets. she turned quickly. j
beg a thousand pardons," said spien-
d,dIv dressed woman who stood behind
her "but would you tell me what your
dress is made Of? / never saw any
thing so exquisite in my life"
A dozen times that evening Lady Ca
rev had a similar experience, and the
result was one of the most extraordi-
nary crazes for poplin that ever was
experienced for any new fabric. One
Irish firm sold 1900 worth Of the ma
terial within q year, and three large
Relfast houses are said to have found
ed their present large fortunes on irish
poplin.

nrbree sheets In the wind"

"What was the origin Of the phrase
for drunkenness, three sheets In the
windY" q landsman asked a sailor the
other day. "Well," said the sailor, I'll
explain that matter TO you. The two
lower corners of a ships sail are held
taut by two ropes, one called tack
and another called sheet. The tack
is always kept very tight, but the sheet
is loosened according to the wind, and
the looser the sheet is the more freely
the sail swings. If the sail Is quite
free, its sheet is said to be in the
wind Now. suppose that all three OF
q ships sails were quite free. They
would then fly about very crafty, and
the ship would wabbIe. The course Of
the ship would be zigzag one, and the
reason for this would be that she had
three sheets in the wind That, I
guess, is why man, when he zigzags
In his course, is said to be three sheets
in the wind also" -Philadelphia Rec
ord,
