ADA TO BE SOLD.

Governor Joseph X. roole received.
a few days ago, a letter that brought
to mind an old friend OF whom he had
not thought in many days. and Of
whom he had completely lost sight In
the activities Of the executive life OF
the past two years.
The friend in question is Ada Refan
in silver-or, as she Is known the
country over, "the Ada Rehan silver
statue" And the governor is little
less than shocked to learn that Ada
is to be offered on the block. despite
the fact that we r supposed to, be
living in an age OF enlightenment when
society will not countenance anything
approaching slave trading. But II Ia
none the less true that Ada is TO be
sold-and the governor is not averse.
now that 1t seems certain that the
sale is to be pulled on, to have the
widest publicity given TO the fact in
order that any Montana friends who
want to bid her In for old LINES sake

GREAT HOARD OF GOLD.

Tor there was more gold in the custody
bf the government of the United States
at the close of business on the 9th than
ever before in the history of the nation.
The sum amounted to S634,956,653.26,
and is contained in the following funds:
Gold coin and bullion In division of re-
demption, s150000,0O0: gold coin held
against gold certificates, s400,696.096;
gold coin and bullion, general fund.
$S4,2Se,55T.26.
BY way of contrast it is shown that
In 1879 the gold in the treasury
amounted to s11s,6.4.2e7. From that
date until 1883 it fluctuated around
$150,000,000. when at the latter date 1t

Such statement ought to be some

Many nervous disorders that cause
lifelong suffering are caused by shock
to the nerves. In the case of Mr.. Har-
mon it was caused by an accident that
narrowly escaped being fatal. In ma
jority of cases the cause Of the shock
is soon forgotten, but the injury to the
nerves is lasting. Partial paralysis is
often traced to such causes as this. A 4

Oil Wells in Kansas.
[Chanute, Kan, Daily SUM-

EXACTLY fifty oil and gas Companies
are now doing business in this vicinity
and thirty-one of them have headquar-
tiers in Chanute. More are being or
sanized every day, and it is safe to say
that Chanute will be the home of half
n hundred companies before the first of
May. The capital stock of the entire
fifty companies is thirty-seven and one
half million dollars. The entire aver
age is 1917 acres. The number of
producing wells, 241. This list does not
include the l. N. Knapp field at all,
which contains fully 10 wells. Number
of gas holes, 30, number of dry wells, IL,
percentage of dry wells less than 3
per cert. OF the 241 wells that will
produce oil, less than forty are in shape
to be pumped and it will be fully six
months before they can all be connect
ed up with pumping plants. Many of
them never having been cleaned, but
left for a time when the oil can be mar
keted without loss of leakage, etc. AL
so. it must be remembered, that since
this list was completed, several
fine wells have been drilled in and one
more expected to be brought in today.
The l. N. Knapp people have over sew
enty producing oil wells, as spoken OF
above. The average flow of we'll is
said to be over 40 barrels each "a
hours, and experts who have investi-
gated the Chanute field thoroughly,
have no hesitancy in saying that the
average yield when pumping begins
over the eastern field. will be fully 40
barrels per day. In Ohio, a we'll that
produces 5 barrels per day, is looked
upon as a wonder. So it would seem
that Kansas should be able to give
Ohio somthing of start. and then east
ly distance her before the end of the
year, in quantity of oil produced per
acre.

CUBAN TREATY DELAY.

The decision of the serat committee
To report an amendment to the Cuban
reciprocity treaty providing that it shall
become effective after he house has
approved of it has led to talk Of an extra
session of congress. President Roose-
Welt IS anxious that the treaty shall be
ratified and become effective, and holds
himself free to call an extra session if
he should deem it expedient. on the
part of the senate it lool.; like an effort
tc take advantage of an objection here
tofore urged, that as the treaty relates
to the revenues the house must act up
on it. All this was known before the
last congress adjourned. when ratifica-
ton might have been acc, mplished with
the proper effort, and 1t does not now
reflect great credit upon the upper
chamber that is endeauoring to open
the way for postponenient for another
year. Thus far 1t would seem that the
ruling influence in the senate has
treated this matter with studied neg
lcct.
Meanwhile the Cuban senate has rati-
fed the treaty and awakened enthusi-
asm among the islanders and the hope
that reciprocal trade rela tons will be
thus established with the United
States.
The democrats of the senate, under
the leadership of German. are plotting
against ratification, and this hostile
force is to be reckoned with as part of
the influence that may used more or
less effectively against It. The outlook
at present is therefore one Of doubt.
