ALLEGED OIL LAND FRAUDS.
Two Chicago Men Indicted by Federal
Grand Jury.

The federal grand jury in Chicago has
returned indictments against Louis a Gour-
dain, proprietor of the Imperial Bank,
Dearborn and Madison Streets and John
II. Dalton. former proprietor of a north
side saloon, both accused of using the
mails to defraud.
The indictments accuse them of selling
fraudulent options on alleged oil lands In
louisiana. The indictments state that Dali
ton and Gourdain, acting under the name
of the Louisiana State Loan and Trust
Company OF New Orleans, purchased LOCO
acres of land in Winn Parish. La. at 81 80
an acre, plated the land into lots twenty
feet square and offered options on these
plals for $50 each down to so cents. These
option certificates were made to resemble
lottery tickets and certain prizes. ranging
from 30 cents to S. were paid as bait.
Monthly lists, purporting to be the lists
of prices bid for the oil lands, were sent
out to the purchasers as options. The in
dlctments state that the enterprise was a
fraud that the lots were worth no more
than ~ cents each; that no oil ever was
found on the lands that no bids had been
made; that the assets of the company were
$1,000 instead Of 81. 10000.

Winter Fishing.

From the outing Magazine
Winter fishing has one other merit-which
all true sporstmon win recognize as such.
namely. considerable uncertainty One day
you may Ash certain waters-whether deep
or shallow. whether weedy or free-and
well nigh draw a blank, while the very
next day the same waters will give rich
finny returns. What is more strange Is
that not seldom on the same day there will
be good luck in different depths and varying
waters OF the same lake or pond; and OBJ
servation through the clear black ice or
early winter or late autumn has convinced
the writer that these mystic fishy moods OF
biting In winter are almost or quite indie
PENDENT OF the movements OF the schools of
'Dalt fish About all that can be said on
such points in the way of general sugges-
ton Is that winter fish bite usually better
on mild day than cold one-best of ali
during gentle thaw; that they take the
bait more freely under thin ice-that is in
early winter than after the ice has thicken-
ed: and that they appear to be quite unaI-
rected by noise, such as the rumble OF
skates or the gentle thunder of the set
Ting ice. 1t Is certain that some OF the
best strings of lifetime have been taken
when the fun Of skating could be Joined
with that OF watching the lines.

ADMITS FAILURE.
Statement of Russian Editor Who
Aimed to Overthrow the Government.

Peter Struve, editor of the Osvobojdenie
(emancipation), at st. Petersburg. who has
again shifted his position, published a ring
ing article yesterday afternoon, in which
he admitted the defeat of the attempt
aimed at the overthrow of the government
He says the attempt, OF course, was mad
ness and was bound to be extingushed in
blood. Nevertheless, he alleges, there was
a heroic spirit behind 1t which should ter
rify the government. Another such VIC
tory and the government is lost" says M
Struve, who in conclusion summons all the
forces of emancipation to bury their dis
sensions and to unite in a final struggle.
The report that Lieut.. Gen. Mistchenko
has been wounded is not true.
The League OF Leagues has split, one
portion favoring a continuance of the strike
and another the abandonment OF violent
tactics. and cooperation in peaceful prep
aration for the work of the douma.
With the evident object of infiaming SEN
timent abroad the revolutionary agents are
putting out a story to the effect that the
government is deliberately plotting a gen
eral massacre of Jews. These agents dis
play what purports to be the text of an
appeal by rabbi addressed to the Jews to
fight against the cross, which they declare

Discovery of Great Salt Lake.
From the Outing Magazine.


Jim Bridger stands forth as the most con-
spicuous figure in the brief but glorious
reign Of the trapper and trail-maker In the
far west. The greatest fur hunter and the
greatest pathfinder of them all and pos
sessing the most intimate knowledge of the
Indian nature ever vouchsafed a white
man, Bridger will grow In stature Is time
goes on and accurate history is written.
No part of the great Rocky mountain
country held secret from Jim Bridger.
He was the first white man, after John
Golfer to view the wonders of Yellowstone
Park, and the first to look on Great Salt
lake. Seemingly bearing charmed life. he
wandered through the lands of many IN
dian tribes. sometimes fighting the red men,
but more often living their life and finding
the solace of true brotherhood at the lodge
fire. Every mountain Jim Bridger climbed.
every stream he crossed, and every game
trail he followed, was written down in the
most marvellous memory ever granted a
plainsman. AS result, years later, when
the white men, bold but laundering sought
the easiest paths over the mountains, Jim
Brdger showed them the best trails for
their wagons: and when the chief engineer
of the Union Pacific had well-nigh given up
hope of getting his rails across the Divide,
It was Jim Bridger who showed an avail
able pass which he had traversed years be-
fore in his trapping days, and the existence
OF which no other white man knew. A few
months ago this chief engineer, Gen. Gren-
Vile NJ. Dodge. showed his gratitude by
rescuing Jim Bridger's body from a neglect
ed grave and interring 1t at Kansas City,
under an appropriate monument-probably
the first act of gratitude ever performed
for the man who had put the whole empire
of the west in his debt.

One Of the pictures disposed of at the

vas shown at the Salon in 1877 by NJ. Jean
Paul Laurens. "The Austrian Staff March
ing Past the Body Of Marceau" (e52O). Per-
haps the chief interest In the picture is a
curious but true story told about it. When
shown at the Salon it was much admired.
but no one felt inclined to buy till at last
M. Turquet. then director of fine arts. to
encourage the painter purchased It out of
his own pocket. Soon after a man called
upon him. saying that he knew he would
ike to get rid of 1t. and offered a. handsome
sum. M. Turquet accepted at once. but his
visitor added that there was one essential
condition to the bargain. Make me a
knight of the Legion of Honor" The off,
cial was shocked, but the visitor went on
You need not mind. 1 am not a French
man, but an American citizen. Give me
the RED ribbon and say 1t Is a reward for
services rendered to French art" The Of
nciai was persuaded. the picture changed
hands and the buyer became and is still a

Mexicans Who Worship Images.

From the Mexican Herald
A village In Mexico Of 1000 souls, not one
of whom had heard OF God-such Is the
story told by the Rev. s. g. Innan. MIN
lister of the Christian Church at Monterey.
Nesting IN a deep valley. twenty-five
miles from Saltillo. and shut off from the
rest of the world by high and impossible
cliffs, the pure Indians have lived for gen.
erations still worshiping their stone and
wooden images and utterly unlearned In
everything pertaining to supreme being
according to Mr. Inman, who has written to
friends in Mexico City concerning this
strange find Santo Domingo Is what the
town is called. though why and wherefor
none Of the elders OF the village could tell.
1t had been called that for generations and
more. and they did not know the signif-
canoe of the words.
It was by accident that Mr.. Inman STUN
bled on the quaint and curious village
hemmed in by predpitous crags. He was
riding overland toward Saltillo when he
came to deep cut in the mountains which
he followed. and which led to the town of
before, and the sight Of the missionary was
no novelty to the pure Indian descendants
that thronged round his horse and offered
their hospltality-poor, but the best they
had. After partaking Of 1t, and ascertaining
through the guide who accompanied him
that the Indians knew nothing OF God or
q Creator of all things, the minister deemed
1t best to hold some sort of a meeting and
give spiritual instruction. This could not be
accomplished at the first trip, and Mr.. In
man returned to Monterey, where arrange
ments are now being made to hold regular
meetings there and inStill some Christianity

Nature of Ether.

The great Russian chemist Professo-

with the ether. A translation of this ar

physicists. In opposition to some recent
thinkers, Mendeleef insists that matter "a
not q mode of force or motion but thai
substances tmasSes) and phenomena
(movements) must be recognized as two
separate categories. such as space and
time, the substance OF which our thought
has not yet penetrated. but without which
IL cannot work" The ether of space he
regards as matter, resembling argonorthe-
iium. In having No power of chemical COM

low density and great rapidity of molecu-
lar motion. In order that the ether may
escape from the sphere of attraction Of

more than 100000. 000.063 The very small
value of this figure explains why there is
