CITY HAS CHEAP GAS.


Inhabitants Of Clarksburg, W
Va, can have all the fuel and illu-
minant they want at four cents q
thousand feet. One natural gas
well supplies all of Clurksburg and
has been doing so for the last If
teen years. Over 100000 cubic
feet is consumed daily. Of course,
this trivial price is possible only be-
cause there are many wells within a
radius of IS miles from the city,
producing altogether about a billion
feet a day.

ENGLISH AND OTHER TONGUES
France Now Ranks Fourth in the List
Of Languages in Present Use IN
the World.

On the first instant, in Paris, oc-
CURED the tweRty-ffth anniversary
Of the formation of the Alliance
Franchise, which was duly celebrate
ed by a great gathering at the Sor-
bonnie, followed by a banquet. NJ.
Paul Deschanel delivered an elo-
quent address, an interesting point
mentioned being that, while at the
beginning of the nineteenth century
French was the first Of European
languages, it now stood only fourth.
French at the present day is spoken
by $4,000, 600 persons, German by
sO,OOO,OOO, Russian by $4,000 900
and English by ll6,OOO,O 600. 1t was
not that French had lost ground,
but that other languages had gained
ground.
The estimate of the number OF
present users of English is, we
must think, under the mark, for the
United States has nearly 90,OOO,OOO
people and the population of the
British Isles is about 42,0OO,OOO
while the English-speaking colonies
are fairly to be credited with IL
100000; say, in all there are to-day
14S, 100000 people speaking thu
English language.

Roger, the Fren& tenor, on one

one paid him the slightest attention
and the guests talked their loudest.
For the next song Roger could not
be found and that evening was seen
no more. Next day a note came
from him, accompanied by the sum
of 1000 francs. The note ran thus;

INDICTMENTS IN OKLAHOMA
Rumored Result of Grand Jury Land
Probe.

Muskogee, okla, Jan. 2s,--it was ru-
mored last night that the Federal grand
Jury which is investigating the alleged
illegal purchase Of town lots in 1900
and 1901, yesterday decided ON indict-
ments against three persons and that
from ten to fifty counts had been found
against each. Government officers, while
declining 10 vouehesafe any informa-
ticn in advance OF the report OF the
Jury, do not deny that indictments
have been found. The jury had only
been in session two hours yesterday
afternoon when report reached the
outside TO tho effect that there had
been indictments found in the first case
investigated. While every possible pre-
caution is being made by the Govern.
nient to prevent the secrets of the grand
Jury room from leaking out, apparent
ly well.founded reports are in circula-
ton to the effect that the investigation
SHOWS a much wider conspiracy than
was suspected when the jury was
called TO weigh the testimony against
few0r than dozen men. To o. f.,
pagin, assistant attorney general, has
been assigned the duty Of drawing up
the indictments. Pagin was assistant
United States district attorney at Chi
cago when thu Beef Trust was under
investigation in 1909. Two men who
were largely interested in Muskogee
town lots have died since the controver-
sy over titles began. They were Gen
eral Pleasant Porter, principal chief of
the Creek Nation, who signed all the
deeds for the town lots, and w. S.
Woodland wealthy dry goods mer-
chant. Civil suits are pending against
their estates, involving the title to
many lots. Two other owners, A. z.
English and w. I. Hutchins, are now
critically III.
Additional witnesses arrived here TO-
day TO give testimony before the Fed
eral grand jury investigating Muskogee
town lot frauds.

cursor of the carbonate camp of
Leadville, and following along this
line of analogy we must conclude
that the Galice quartz mines are the
natural sequence of the placer
grounds of the old Galice district.
That noted miner, Galice, died
many years ago, but left to his as
sociates and to his countrymen the
wealth of an empire and they, in re-
turn, honored his memory by naming
the mountain torrent where he dis
covered gold, Galice creek, and the
territory around it the Galice mining
district, And when a postoffice was
established, again the pioneer. of the
locality was honored by calling it
Galice.
