A Bio Well.

Shreveport.-Reports from Vivian.
thirty miles north of Shreveport, state
that Producers Oil company's No. z
well, which caused so much trouble
and expense from the fire which was
recently extinguished, is too large to
be handled properly, or to be con-
trolled if allowed to run at whole ca
paclty. If turned on at full head this
well, in the opinion of the old heads,
would make over $4,000 barrels of oil
daily. 1t is recognized as the biggest
producer in the Caddo field and is
running $4,000 barrels daily. Mes gotta
tlons are under way for railroad ar
rangements to handle some of the
Oil, as the pipe lines can not care for
all of it.

total assessment of the field $3,707,-

WASHINGTON.

When the governments fiscal year
of 1911 closed Saturday the federal
treasury held a cash surplus of at
least SS,ooe, 0eas and zshcswea5 spt sex-
cess of all receipts over all disburse-
ments for the first time since 1907.
The Canadian reciprocity situation
cleared to marked degree Saturday
and canvass of the situation in the
senate was in every way assuring to
the friends of the measure With not
more than dozen set speeches in
prospect and with eight-hour sessions
of the senate on the program to hast
en- action, many of the senators count
upon a vote before the end of July,
and Senator Smoot holds to his origi-
nal prediction that an adjournment
of congress will be taken by that
time. ,. =,
The name of the president of the
United States again figured in the
testimony of Edward Hines, official
Of the lumber trust, before the Lori
mer investigation committee Saturday.
Hines declared that Mr.. Taft desired
the election of Mr.. Lorimer to the
senate. Senator Aldrich, he said, told
him of this wish of the president, and
he, at the request of Senator Aldrich
communicated it to both Governor
Deneen and Mr.. Lorimer at Spring
field. The information was used free
ly in the Illinois capital to influence
votes.
Senator Bristow is showing an ac-
commodating spirit in the matter OF
his amendment to the resolution for
the popular election of United States
senators, and it is therefore probable
the resolution, which is now in con-
ference between the two houses, will
finally go through shorn of the amend
ment.
Wearied Of the refusal of the sen.
ate committee on foreign relations
to take action on his resolution for
the abrogation Of the treaty of 1882
with Russia, Senator Culberson Fri
day sharply criticised that committee
and threatened to move to discharge
it. He called attention to the fact
that the committee has had since
early April to report on his resolu-
ton asking for information why the
administration had not yet recog-
nized the Portugal republic; that the
committee would not act on the reso-
luton and that meanwhile the state
department has bestowed tardy recog-
milton on Portugal. He said his res
olution for the abrogation of the
treaty of 1882 with Russia has met
with the same inaction and inatten-
ton since April 10.
George H. Earle, Jr., of Philadel-
phia renewed his attack upon former
President Theodore Roosevelt Friday
before the house sugar trust lnFestl-
eating committee He was especial
ly denunciatory of Mr.. Roosevelt's al
legged failure to institute criminal
prosecution of the American Sugar Re,
filming company officials after the
PENNSYLVANIA refinery deal was ex'
posed in 1906 Mr.. Earle spoke with
such emphasis that he offered to apol
ogize if the committee thought Mr.
Roosevelt's inactioa was not repre-
hensible.

A Unique Tombstone.

fantastic conception as a memorial
to loved ones who have passed TO the
other shore.
The devotion that Hannibal Clark, a
simple minded but wealthy farmer,
displayed toward his daughter, Mary,
stands out prominently with every
blow welded by the stone engraver.
When she died at the age Of sixteen,
he decided to perpetuate upon the
family monument not only the dates
showing the birth and death of each
member, but also some verses OF
poetry appropriate, and also In the
case of the daughter, reproductions
of animals and farm scenes. Every
thing that the girl loved in life was
to be reproduced upon her monument
after death, according to the direc-
tions Of the sorrowing parent.
Her entire existence was spent up
