The Intoxicated Cows,

Rarely has anything more painful
been seen than the exhibition of GER
tain cows in a German village. BY
lamentable mistake somebody put
some alcohol into their fodder, and
when the authorities came to milk
them they were found reeling about
tie field in platoons, wearing on their
now animated faces the merry ex-
preston of those who do not go homo
till morning, till daylight doth appear.
The episode recalls the story Of the
priest who told an Irishman that he
ought - initiate the cows In that
those respectable animals were never
seen In a state of intoxication. "Ah,"
said Pat, but have the bastes ever
come across a shtrame of whisky"

GEOLOGICAL

With the many favorable conditions
for striking oil or gas, or both, here in
this water basin, think now is the
time to form a company to put down
a 2OOO-foot well. When we take into
consideration the geological features
Of this country, the venture would not
be blind one OF a poor gamble
The natural features Of the sur
rounding country all 90 to show that
there isa great basin within radius
Of few miles, embracing the city Of

Or the basin, the gas Is further proof.
Now, what is oil II it is a seep-
age from the coal formation it is as
likely TO be here as at Chelsea or
Bartlcsville, and even more SO. If oil
is the residue Of The accumulation Of
millions Of years Of the destruction Of
animal life from the ocean bed, under
the law Of the "indestructibility Of
matter, and to the minds Of many
scientists and thinking people this oil
Is an accumulation from animal life
that has been gathering for ages, and
is still gathering. Under this theory,
right here In this basin, caused by the
peculiar formation of the rock com
posing the so-called water shed, IL the

Either of~the above theories makes
the looking for oil a splendid venture,
one that almost any one could risk a
few dollars on with prospects Of great
reward
When Geo. W. Miller formed com
pany to sink the first artesian well in
Vinita tthere were only few who
would take the risk with him. At
that time there was nothing more TO
look toward "a than Columbus bad

WOMAN

decide her fate. She is accused of
stealing a valuable fur coat from the
Spokane Dry Goods company last
December. She is dressed entirely in
black and appears to be fearful of the
result of the trial.
If the state proves the facts that it
alleges in the opening statement to the
jury, Bessie McDonald's chances are
slim. The prosecution says she was
in the store the day the. fur WAS stolen
that she priced it, that when she was
arrested she had the coat in her pos
session. She claimed to have bought
il from two women who are not in evi
dence now. 1t is also alleged that she
told woman in the block In which
she was living that she had stolen tho

in the shape of torpedo, which sunk
