has bluntly told Chekib Bey. the Turk
fsh charge here, that the patience OF
the American government is we'll nigh
exhausted. The charge is expected to
communicate this information to his
home government speedily. There ap-
peared to be an impression in the mind
of the Turkish statesman that because
the president of the United States
could not make war without the con-
sent of congress he thereby was es-
topped from indulging in a naval dem
onstration to forward his purpose To
secure fair treatment for the Ameri-
cans in Turkey. 1t is believed that on
this point also the Turkish minister
was enlightened by Secretary Hay.
When Chekib Bey left the state de-
partmant he evidently was i'm a state
of concern over what he had heard.

Marion, August 9.-The luckiest
man in the Indiana oil field at this
time is Tony S. Richards, age twen-
ty-three, linotype operator of
Muncie. Four years ago Richards,
poor boy, came to Portland and Sc
cured an apprenticeship at the limo
type in daily newspaper Office. He
contracted to work one year at $500
a week for the chance to learn the
machine. He was a frugal lad and
out of his $500 saved $1.00 every
week. At the end of the year he
bought a lot in the town of Redkey
for a few dollars with his savings.
He went to Muncie and soon had a
job at regular wages. Again he saved
and bought other lots adjacent to the
first one purchased. A few weeks ago
young Richards organized an oil COM
pany to drill on his lots. The COM
pany was named the Linotype Oil
company and the first we'll, juSt re-
