ganize Stock Company For
That Purpose

of an organization now being
perfected in this city with view
of prospecting for oil in Bowles

corporated for six thousand dol
lars and all Of the stock has been
subscribed by Shawnetown par
ties.
A meeting of the stock holders
is to be held at the Office of VIII

May Goth at 10 O'Clock a. m. for
the purpose Of electing a Board
of Directors for said company
and for the transaction of such
business as may be deemed
necessary.
Will A. Howell has promoted
the scheme solicited the stock
and is principally responsible for
the enterprise. The Company
has nearly six thousand acres of
and leased including a large pro-
portion of the Saline Coal Coal
Company's land. There is evey
indication, according to the
theories of those who have stud
led the situation carefully, that
this is a rich oil field. Just as
soon as the organization of the
company can be perfected the
contract will be made to drill the
holes. The first will probably
be bored near the collored school
house in what is known as The
Flats" near the river. Shaw

Note.
Shawneetown, in Gallatin
County, Ill.,. is so near us, just
across the Ohio river from Union
County, that we feel that what
is under the ground there is un-
der the ground here. 1t is so
with the coal and why not with
oil?

Record-Press. Dear Editor:

Record-Press, Dear Editor
If you will allow me a corner in
your paper | will answer a ques-
ton that has been asked me sew
eral times during and since the
recent cold spell. The question
is where in the bible is it where
it says: That the time will
come when we cannot tell the
winter from summer only by the
putting forth of the leaves. ="
There is no such scripture in the
bible, | know that it has been
said by some people ever since
| can remember. and | know
that some preachers say that it
is in the good book and that
they have read il. Now that |
have been a bible reader for 60
years and have read it from
lid to lid time after time and
have never found it, and will
give any one $40 to show it to
me, or tell me where to find it.
! haven't got the money now,
| am like the man | once knew
that was q candidate. He said,
if he was not qualified to fill the
Office he would be by the time
he was elected, that has been
25 years ago and he is not elect
ed. So if have not got the
money ! will have by the time
they find the scripture.
Your for the bible,

SICK AND HOMELESS,
BOY SHOOTS HIMSELF
Italian Lad Suffering From
Fever Gets First Care in
Year in a Hospital.

NEW YORK, November S.-The fragile
figure of haf-grown lad sat huddled on
an open bench opposite the 23d street ferry
house late last night. A chill wind from
off the Hudson cut through his thread
bare clothes and big policeman noticed
that the boys big brown eyes glowed with
the light of a consuming fever. The lads
shoulders were rounded and now and
then he coughed. AS the policeman stroll
ed aimlessly away there was a shot.
Let me die" the boy was telling the
patrolman, I'm too tired to live. I'm
sick. 1 have nothing to live for
The bullet fortunately had only grazed
his head.
They said of fifteen-year-old Sam ST.
bronia at Bellevue Hospital today that he
came to America to escape the poverty
of his little Italian home and obtain an
education. The boy went to work in a
sweat shop. The long days of toll were
followed by nights of study. His chest
became hollow, his voice husky and then
the cough came. A physician told him
what it meant and last night the lad tried
to end it all.
In the hospital today he had the first
care and comfort he had known since he
landed in America over a year ago.

When the last strike was settled the
company reserved the right to give the
preference in runs to men who had re-

The union claims that this meant men
who were with the company prior to the
strike and who remained in its employ
during the strike. The contention now
is that the company insists upon recog-

taken on during the strike.
This, the men assert, means that strike

KNOX UNABLE TO VOTE.
Secretary of State Had Not Complied
With Registration Law.

Special Dispatch To The Star.
PITTSBURG, Pa, November S-Sacre-
tary of State Philander c. Knox left here
today for his summer home at Valley
Forge, Pa, much chagrined and dis
appointed man, owing to his inability to

After coming here from Cincinnati, Ohio,
where he had been sent by President
William II. Taft IN the interests of the
party, he discovered that ne was in
eligible to vote, owing to his failure to
comply with the Pennsylvania registra-
tion law, which requires that every voter
appear personally before the registration
board. He was so engrossed and taken
up in the duties OF his once that ne neg
lected to come here and meet the re-
quirements of the law.
Mr.. Knox arrived in this city yesterday
for the sole purpose of voting today. He
was informed by his friends mere that he
would be unable to VOTE as he was not
properly registered. The Secretary OF
State, during his stay in this city, stops
at the University club, in the eighth dis
trict of the fourth ward. An examination
or the registration list OF tnat distrIc,
failed to reveal his name. A consultation
followed, but the case was hopeless.
John X. Tener, the republican candidate
for governor. cast his ballot at his home,
Charleroi, near here. Mr.. Tener ex-
pressed confidence in his election.
