NO NOMINATIONS.
President Wilson Does Nothing About

Although it was expected that
President Wilson would send to the
Senate nominations Of district at
torney and marshal for South Car
olina Thursday this was not done.
When the senate on Monday remain
ed in session for such a brief length
Of time that no nominations couio oe
received, it was generally supposed
that action on the South Carolina
matters would be taken Thursday and
there was some surprise here that
nothing was done. Nothing OF a de-
finite kind having transpired in this
matter Thursday it is not known
whether the president will send these
nomination in when the senate meets
again or whether he will wait few
DAYS.

Some Remarks.

The Mound City News, In its issue
last week, In commenting on the bond
election for the building Of new
school house and improving its water.
works system, says:
Comment is useless. The above
figures say just one thing-Mound
City people believe In being on the
map. They believe that II We are go
Ing to have town, we will have a
good one. And the chances In favor
OF Mound City growing and develop
ing, until she becomes one Of the best
little cities In northwest Missouri,
are in the mathematical ratio indi.
Gated In the election figures above
given.
Another fact that has been clearly
shown In these tests Of enterprise is
that the retired farmers are as good
boosters as we have In the city. Some
towns are killed by retired farmers.
They move into some towns to enjoy
the conveniences and comforts Of
town life, but In some instances are
unwilling to help foot the bills for
these good things. Mound City's re.
tired farmers are a pretty good lot
they are by large majority progress
sive, Intelligent, and conscientious
what better qualifications for making
good town. The opposers Of these
measures Of progress were not many
Of them retired farmers, and as rule,
they were not the large tax payers,
for We find generally the largest tax
payers are the most earnest advocates
Of progress.

When a right guess Is made, the
owner OF the nose must Join the

That Big Gas Well.

A few weeks ago we published az
account of the lucky strike Of John
Shipley, Of this city, In the Oklahoma
oil and gas belt. The following ar.
ticle, taken from the Coireyville, Kan.
sas, Daily journal Of the 2Ist, will in.
terest our readers:
The largest gas well brought In In
Nowata county for some time was
finished yesterday In the No. } on the
Bertha Alberty, owned by John +.
Shipley, of Mound City, Mo. The
we'll is good for IO,OOO,o0O cubic fee,
per day and the pressure is estimated
at 800 pounds. Tie yas sand was
struck at lO29 feet and unlike the
other wells there was not even a
showing Of oil In the lower sand.
The entire crew was busy all day
shutting the well In and before II was
closed the whistle Of the escaping gas
could be heard for two miles. The
new well gives Mr.. Shipley a pro.
duction OF about l6,O00,O00 feet per
day on the Alberty lease which Is by
far the most secured on any lease in
the last six months In this county.
Arrangements are now being made
for the disposal Of the gas. Mr.. Ship.
ley has made another locat ion and 1t
Is understood will drill two more wells
on the lease. 4 remarkable feature
which will make Mr.. Shipley'S lease
even more valuable is the fact that
there Is oil In paying quantities In

struck at ~ feet and there was ~

WASHED FLEAS OFF HIS DOG.
The Champion Optimist Was One Of
the Flood Sufferers.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
At indianapolis the other day
Mayor Shank, while hearing tales of
woe from flood sufferers, encounter
ed one John Thomas whom he hail
ed as "the champion optimist."
When the flood struck his house
Thomas was away from home. He
was compelled to wade and swim, al
ternately, for a distance Of half
mile to rescue his wife and little son,
both of whom We're i'll. When the
water receded Thomas got out his
carpenter tools and undertook to re-
pair his house and furniture.
During a short absence from home
somebody stole the entire kit of tools
valued at $50.
When Thomas appealed to the po-
lice for assistance in recovering the
outfit they merely laughed at him
and told him the tools must have
floated away.
Thomas pulled his furniture out Of
the house to dry it in the back yard
and when It died out II fell TO pieces
He lost practically everything he pos
sessed and even lost his employment,
but ne was not altogether cast down.
He told the mayor he had at least one
thing TO be thankful for and that was
that the flood had washed the fleas
of his dog.
