Tho first hole he put down proved to
be a dry one and at about $50 feet gas
belched out, throwing sand ana mud
to a great height. Mr.. Coleman de-
cided to try this gas and to set 1t on
fire; 1t burned with clear blue name
ell afternoon and only stopped when 1t
was smothered with wet blanket.
He lit it again the next morning and
the flow was still strong. but not wish
ing to make use Of 1t. he closed up the
hole and moved the drill to another
place. Here he also struck another
vein Of gas at about the same depth
This time the force Of the explosion
was not so strong. and there was more
water In the well. but the force Of the
explosion was sufficient to bespatter
the fence posts for nearly 200 feet to
the north Of the we'll.
We are not much UP on such mat
tiers. but 1t would appear to US that
there Is sufficient gas in that vicinity
to be found in paying quantities II the
matter was looked into by some one
IA miliar with such matters There
certainly must be coal in quite large
quantities in that neighborhood or
there would not be gas over such a
large area.
The writer went out to the Henry
Coleman farm Monday evening to get
a view OF that gas well In action. 1t
certainly presents a striking appear
appearance with the bright flame
shooting up in the air without any
apparent supply Of fuel. Mr.. Coleman
has decided to make thorough test
of the gas and if 1t proves to be per-
manent will probably arrange to light
and heat his home from this natural
gas supply. He is badly disappointed
in not being able to get water but
proposes to make the best Of the mat
ter B. F. Craig. who has been doing
the drilling believes that a strong
permanent vein of gas can be located

Bryan's Choice.

The report is current in the east and
has been made the subject Of no little
political gossip that Mr.. Bryan Is soon
to come out in the open for Champ
Clark as his choice for the 1912 presi-
Dental nomination. This expectation,
it is more than probable. will be dis
appointed, for Mr.. Bryan would be do
ing something he has seldom. if ever,
done, taking sides before the entries
are all in, and playing favorite as
against the field. His usual practice
is simply to indicate the candidate or
candidates who appear Objectionable
to him. This he has already done
with reference to Governor Harmon by
giving him notice ito prepare to stand
aside" and the Ohio governor might
have company on the Bryan blacklist
if some other plainly labeled repre-
sentative Of 1.-The interests" is projected
into the democratic arena. How Mr..
Bryan went after Judge Parker in 1904
and hammered him SO hard in advance
Of nomination that the damage could
not be later repaired. even by Mr..
Bryan himself taking the stump in his
behalf. will be readily recalled. In
the convention that nominated Park
er. Mr.. Bryan threw harmless bouquets
safe by shooting in the air and record
ing his own vote for Senator Cockrell,
Of Missouri. who was not a candidate,
nor even considered presidential tim
Der.
An interesting complication for Mr..
Bryan. however, is quite among the
possibilities. He will doubtless want
to be delegate to the convention and
If he is selected will have to go under
the implied instructions of the presi-
Dental preference vote in the primary.
To see Mr.. Bryan in the convention
instructed to favor some one to whom
he Is personally opposed, requires a
real stretch OF the imagination. Ne
braska, for example, for Harmon, with
Bryan heading the delegation would
be the irony of fate. Yet in the whirli-
gig Of politics stranger things than
that have happened. Only the threat
Of something like that. therefore, Is
apt to force Mr.. Bryan to enlist be-
hind some one candidate as against all
others in advance Of the nomination.

BENEFITS NOT APPARENT.
INT. Vernon Record.

Just what benefits are to be expect
ed from the Standard Oil Company
decision are invisible to the eyes OF
this paper. The Standard Oil Com
pany, of New Jersey. may be dissolved.
but the oil companies that went to
make UP the Standard Oil are in the
hands of the same stockholders as be-
fore, and 1t IS hardly likely that the
one whit different from what 1t has
been in the past few years. The only
possible difference that we can see is
that there may be little more expense
in administering the several compan-
les, in which case the public will have
to pay trifie more for Its oil There
may be ways Of getting at this COM
biration difficulty that will do the
people some sood, but 1t has as yet to
be discovered.

Tho "Rule of Reason Again.
est. Paul Disoatchl

est. Paul Dispatch).
The justices of the supreme court, 1t
seems are not the only ones in Wash
inston who believe in interpreting the
law in the light OF rea son." The for
mer collector OF customs at Newport
News testified before the congressional
committee investigating the customs
department that duty believed to
amount to approximately 100000
intended for use in treating railroad
ties. He said Secretary MacVeagh
ordered that the duty be not collected
because the railroads could not az
ford to pay for it." He said the Sec
rotary also was OF the opinion as It
was for preserving timber 1t should be
admitted free as in line with our con-
servat!on policy. Furthermore the Sec
rotary did not believe the imports con-
tanned percentage Of creosote suffi
cfent to make them subject to the 20
per cent ad valorem on the refined
product.
The secretary no doubt acted from
the best of motives and may be well
within the rules Of reason II the
facts are as stated before the commit
tee. but he is treading on dangerous
ground. 1t Is assuming much to I'M
dertake to say what duties should be
collected and what are unreasonable"
He is turdenins himself with no little
responsibility in attempting to say
what railway companies can and can
not afford and TO determine off-hand
the percentage Of creosote in any car
goes brought into the country. Those
would seem to the inexperienced to be
questions of no concern to the govern
% -.J, la$@ I~rr
experts. 1t would appear to the av-
erage citizen that the sane way to do,
despite the supreme court ruling in the
STANDARD Oil case. is to accept the law
as it Is and live up to it. If the law
is wrong, make congress fix it.

THE NEXT VICE PRESIDENT.


There are newspapers here and there
which try to start discussion about
a candidate for vice president on the
republican ticket with Taft in 1912;
but the discussion does not get very
far. In the first place. nominations
for vice president are made in the ma
tional conventions and not by the
newspapers on the outside: and in the
second place. there is increasing like
lihood that the republican party will
relieve itself from its incubus and not
have to nominate any body on a tick
ct with Taft; and in the third place,
il the republican party should not so
relieve itself and should renominate
Taft, about the completest idea sug-
gestible Of nothing to worry about per-
tains to the question Of who should be
nominated on the ticket with Taft.
There was an apparent attempt to
tempt Senator Cumnnins with this bait;
but the senior Iowa senator never
gave the bait as much as . nibble.

THE BOY AND VACATION.
shenandoah World.

Vacation time either means that a
lot Of small boys are going to fnd
more work to do around home than
they ever dreamed there was In the
world to do. or they are going to have
great deal more Of idle time than is
good for them to have. Most people
run to extremes in the management
of their children. Vacation should be
divided into proportionate periods OF
work and play. 1t isn't fair to expect
your small son to work hard like a
man all summer; and 1t isn't good for
him not to have to work at all. We
know OF half dozen boys who were
turned loose Monday morning with the
full privilege Of raising the devil for
three months. We also know Of some
more who were put in hard manual
labor OF ten hours per day. Neither ex-
IRENE Is beneficial or square.

There is one medicine that every
family should be provided with and
especially during the summer months:
viz, Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and

to be needed. It costs but a quarter.

It will be remembered that year
ago. Henry Coleman in drilling for
water, struck what was supposed to
be pocket Of gas. After several at
tempts to get a good well Of water. It
was abandoned. This spring Mr.. Cole
man hired Mr.. Carey with his well
