Un,ts Make What My Be
 Rich Find

And now comes the news that natural gas has been fouudin the country. Io be sure DO great followers" have been struck, but the gas Is here, neverthe- less, says the Dawson Sun. Like all other great strikesf it was discovered by accident.
 Up on Lepine creak two men have been working on a theory and a small outfit. The theory Was that under the immense quartz slides of Lepine creek existed placer ground which was rich Williams and Mitchell, the two men doing the work, after considerable et- fort, put @ shaft down 20 feet and were still on the search for placer ground when the gas was struck.
 Williams. who was at work In Che shaft, stuck his pick into a cavity in the ground and this permitted the gas to escape. A lighted match was ap- piled to the escaping gas, and flame 3 feet high was the result.
 Williams and Mitchell arc now think ing of sinking for natural gas.

Dangerous Drugs Introduced in Coun-
cil-Alderman Powers Would Revoke

Lars NJ. Rand showed his strength
in the council last evening when, by
lining up all the democrats except one
and. six republicans, he was able to
hold back the passage of the ordinance
introduced by Alderman E. w. Clark
authorizing the. authorities to revoke
saloon licenses and to also forfeit
The ordinance was up for final passage,
but at the request of Aldermen Nels
J. Nelson and Claus Mumm, was re-
ferred to the committee on licenses, os-
tensibly for further consideration. 1t
is surmised that the real reason for de-
lay is that neither Mr.. Nelson nor Mr..
Mumm should be placed on record be-
fore eect1n The t republican ader
are Nye, S. E. Adams, McLaskey and
Vaughn. The vote to send the ordi-
nance back to the committee was:

Money Due the HathaWaYs.

Albert L. Hathaway has something

or if dead, of turning over what is due
the beneficiary of the policy, Hstha-
way was bookkeeper for the Scandina-
Wan Elevator company from 1884 to
1888, and when that company dissolved
the bookkeeper seemed to have dis
solved also. At any rate, he has van

| Many strange incidents have
been turned up by Colonel Joyce
in his occasional searches. He
invariably employs the want ad

fails to get some clue to the missing
In this way he was able to pay to g
family bereft of it's head some twenty
years the proceeds of policy the ex

man had died out west and the policy
had been destroyed as worthless. II
many other cases the benefeiaries hae
no knowledge of the death Of the policy
holder until a search by the company
disclosed the fact that his failure t
respond to the regular premium call
was because he had passed beyont

DAN PATCHSAVED THE DAY
MINNEAPOLIS PAGER SAVES THE
ILLINOIS STATE FAIR FROM A
DEFICIT.

"Dan Patch, a horse, saved the Hi
noise state fair finances this year,
If Daniel knew and appreciated how
much the state fair is indebted to him,
says the Springfield, Ill.,, News, he
might experience an enlargement Of
the head, but he probably is uncon-
scious. The immense crowds in the city
fair a success, and there will be enough
money to pay all the expenses. This is
more than the board really expected.
Those who saw Dan Patch go were
repaid for their time and efforts. The
race was beautiful sight. The thou
sands who thronged about the track
made it an inspiring background. The
one expected him to on such day: This
was his first effort since his sickness.
The track was not in the condition it
was when Star Pointer and Dan Patch s
noted sire established a world 8 record.
The day was not the same: There was
wind and a cold one at that. But
he is still national pet. He can still
command the plaudits and worship of
the millions and from their pocketbooks
he can extract the dollars for a chance
to see him. His time, 2:04, was salts
factory to the $4,000 who watched the
race.
It was a great day on the Illinois
| state fair grounds, and 1t was such a
day as will be remembered.
After Dan Patch's appearance the
crowds began to start for town.
| Depots at night were packed with
people waiting for their trains. Specials
were run on all roads and there were
the old-time scenes of thousands Of PEG:
pie waiting patiently after a day s
tramping. Long trains Of twelve to
fifteen coaches pulled into depots,
loaded up and started out, and yet it
seemed that no holes had been made
in the mass of humanity. The last
trains left about II.

THIS COMPANY WOULD
PROMOTE LITIGATION
Combination Formed 20 In
huencc Persons to Bring
Damage Suits

There is considerable adverse criticism
among members Of the New Castle Coun-
ty Bar in regard to the General Accident
Protective Association Of America, which
was recently incorporated under the laws
of the State of Delaware. Some Of The
members give It as their opinion that this
concern is doing a business inder the
guise Of a corporation that could noe be
done by an individual.
The office Of this company is at No.
1907 Marke; street and is IN charge Of
Hugh {. Browne.
The officers of the association are Fred
orick L. Bach, president; Walter L. Butt
ler vice-president; Robert W. Muller, sec
retary and treasurer, and Horace G..
Knowles general counsel. In pamphlets
which are being distributed the capital Is
given as 100000 These pamphlets state
that the association has been organized
lin order to render legal protection to in
dividuals. 1t assumes immediate charge
in case OF accident TO one of its members.
Immediately upon being notified of an
accident to one of its members. the asso-
ciation sends one of its representatives to
the scene Of the accident, whose duty 1t is
to collect all possible information and evil
dence re.ative to the accident.
This is done at once and while the
facts are fresh in the minds Of the wit
nesses."
Continuing It states that Casualty Com
panies do this for the corporations. The
General Accident Protective Association
Of America performs the same service for
its members.
Ono dollar per year Is the fee for our
services; and this provides for each mem
Der Of your family, excepting those who
are earning their own living.
