How Ollie James Caught q CrOwd
in Illinois,

At Quincy, ILL.,, on the night of
October B, Representative Ollie
Nj. James, of Kentucky, addressed
the largest crowd of voters ever
assembled in that city. Mr.. James
was told that the voters of the
town were cold" The following
stenographlc report of his intro
ductory remarks show how he
caught his hearers at the 'geta-
way" before he began TO talk poll
tics to them:
Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Gen
tlemen: | am glad to come to
Illinois. | am glad to meet the
people of this great Common
wealth. The truth of it is. YOU
look so much like Kentuckians |
almost feel at home. Applause.
Kentucky has furnished to Hin
OILS many of the great citizenship
which has made your State re-
nowned. Kentucky gave to YOU
Adlai Stevenson applausel. and
you gave him to rule as Vice Presi
dent of the Union. and unless |
mistake the enthusiasm | behold
everywhere you are going to elect
him your Governor in November.
lGreat applause. Kentucky gave
to Illinois Abraham Lincoln: Him
DIS gave him to the republic: the
republic gave him to the ages.
| Applause.
l greet you as part of this great
Union, which was only cemented
into the fraternal bonds of a
stronger Union by war, which
only remembered to recall the
courage of two of the migbtiest
armies, displaying courage which
has found no counterpart of the
conflicts of the world. Applause.
Dixieland, which ] love, sends to
her brethren of the North the as
surance that she yields to none in
her love for the starry banner OF
the republic, and that if Abraham
Lincoln were alive this night there
is not foot of Southern soil upon
which he might not pitch his tent
under DiXie's sky and pillow his
head upon a Confederate soldiers
knee and sleep, and sleep in safety.
lGreat cheering.l

GOV. WIllSON
o. Speaking Tour In South West
crn Kentucky.

During the past week Governor
Wilson made a tour Of South
Western Kentucky, delivering pc
litical and civic righteousness
speeches. While at Hopkinsville
on Monday he was summoned be-
fore the grand jury relative to
night riders. At Princeton ON
Wednesday he spoke to school
children on duties of citizensl ip.
In court yard he spoke TO men for
nearly three hours.
In speaking of the tobacco stu
alton, he spoke as the Chief Exec
utive, defending his official acts in
his efforts to suppress lawlessness
in Kentucky, eenoci9llv in the dark
tobacco district, uc,i;,l ny tnut had
the proper steps been taken after
the Princeton raid, nearly two
years ago, $1,000 expended would
have checked the Iawlessness,
now it had already cost the State
$4,000 and the end only just in
sight: bot that he had pledged his
word to the people, had been
elected to Office on those pledges
and would not recede one inch
from the stand he had taken if it
required his life and every dollar
in the treasury. He said that his
purpose in keeping the State
guards here was not to Cypress
one class to the advantage of an
other, but to protect everyone in
the enjoyment of life and the pos
session of his property; that they
had been assigned to duty here
upon the earnest request of hun
dreds of good citizens-some Off
cials-and that they would not be
withdrawn until in his judgment
it became eXpedient TO do so. A
man in the audience said, Don't
take them away; We need them"
The Governor replied: Don't be
uneasy, neighhor, / am keeping in
close touch with conditions and
they shall not be taken away
while you need them"

OIL Strike at Lamar,

Denver. - The News Wednesday
morning says: OIL OF the highest quail
ity was struck yesterday afternoon in
the second well Of the Lamar Gas and
OIL Company, one mile east OF Lamar
on the Santa Fe railroad. While ii Is
yet early TO tell definitely the volume
or the value OF the find. ii is believed
BY conservative oil men that the strike
Is one OF the greatest ever made in
the United States and that 1t will
mean L general oil boom In that part
Of the state.
The pay streak of sand containing
the OIL was struck at a depth OF ,535
feet, nearly 500 feet nearer the sur
face than the company expected to
discover II. The fluid was discovered
in the second well dug by the com.
pany. and It flowed so freely yester.
day, and apparently was OF such good
quality, that the company. which Is
financed By Lamar men. feels conf.
dent THAT they have bonanza.

READY TO BUILD
STRATT0N HOME
TEN MILLION DOLLAR FUND WILL
SOON BE TURNED OVER
TO TRUSTEES.
ESTATE IS INCREASING
PRACTICALLY ALL LAWSUITS
HAVE BEEN WON By EXEC
UToRs OR SETTLED.

Denver.-Executors OF the will OF
Winfield Scott Stratton are making ev-
cry endeavor to close up the affairs Of
the estate by Jan. LIST in order to turn
1t over to the trustees, who will then
carry out the original tenets of the
will, which are the building of home
for aged and INDECENT men. From the
statements made by Tyson S. Dimes,
one OF the executors, it is understood
the estate, when turned over TO the
trustees, will approximate 100000,
considerably more than the value when
Stratton died. Included in the estate
Is some of the choicest Denver realty.
When Stratton died he left practi-
cally his entire estate to be used as n
trust fund for the erection and mainte
nance OF nome at Colorado Springs
for the aged and INDECENT. After a le-
gal battle the son was given $350O00.
Other legacies amounted to $500 900.
An inheritance tax of $lSs.000 was paid
the state. 1t was estimated that the
Stratton estate was worth about ST..
100000 when Stratton died. Iegacies
court costs, taxes and legal fees
brought the value down to about So
100000. By the statements of Execu-
tor Dimes 1t is learned that the estate
has increased about $4,oO0,OoO in value
in something like five years.
AT present there are suits pending
against the estate and these will, ac-
cording to report, be settled in short
time. One of these suits is for $500
and the other for 800 900 There have
been filed against the estate suits az
gregating in value s2+,0o0,000 All OF
these contests have been either won or
have been settled by the executors.
Efforts are now being made to sell
the mining property or the estate To-
Gated in the Cripple Creek district
These mines will not be disposed OF un.
less fair price can be obtained for
them.
The trustees who will have charge Of
the construction and management Of
the home are ID. II. Rice, Colorado
Springs; Tyson S Dimes and Moses
Hallett Of Denver. Mr.. Hallett is in
charge OF the Clayton estate, the prop
erty of which was left for the building
OF boys home in Denver.

STOCkS OF SILVER PRODUCING
COMPANIES ARE SERIOUSLY
AFFECTED.
OTHER METALS SUFFER
BUYING ~ CHINA AND MEXICO
MAY POSSIBLY sTlFFEN
PRICES.

New fork.-Shares In metal stocks
slu-lped somewhat Tuesday, due, it is
believed in many quarters, to the de-
cline in the price Of commercial silver
bars.
Stocks Of many silver producing
companies were affected and closed
with losses. Lack OF demand and the
necessity for working off the present
rather large stocks on hand Is believed
10 account for the lowering of the price
OF silver. The commercial bar quota
ton was Az cents, a decline of half
cent. Mexican dollars were 45
cents, unchanged.
In London bar silver was uncertain
at 22lsd, decline OF 3 lilo from the
closing price OF the day previous.
When the decline in silver attracted
attention last week the low price was
attributed to selling by India and
China. At that time commercial bars
went TO 40. cents an ounce. a decline
OF = OF a cent. the lowest mark
reached since 1903.
Mexico has been the chief buyer OF
silver, having purchased lately at the
rate OF 10000 ounces week. The
United States government has been
taking silver at the rate Of 5000
ounces weekly.
Tuesday 1t was declared that China
Is now buyer Of silver and that there
may be a stiffening in prices.
