Jump of the team the driver was
thrown from his seat back into the

The Tennessee legislators have quit.
A few days ago they said they would
quit and the governor told them they
should not. Then they chartered a
train, threatened to shoot the SER
geant at arms if he interfered with
them, and pulled out for home aud
the cotton patch. In Oklahoma the
taxpayers are willing and anxious to
pay for train to take the members
of her legislature to any home clear
out of the state and there is not
private citizen" in the state who will
not solemnly pledge himself to shoot
the sergeant at arms should he offer
to interfere.

SHOT WAS FAILURE.
Charge of Nitro Glycerne Was Ex.

Charge Of Nitro GIycerine Was Ex'
pIoded by Drill and Ruined Well.
The shot placed in the Satna Fe
well in the oil fields early last week
proved to be a failure. Parties re
turning from the field state that only
the squib exploded. The main charge
of nitro glycerine was left untouched
until the drill was lowered in the
we'll and the concussion exploded the
nitro glycerine The casing was
raised three feet, the cable and
drill were badly twisted from the
explosion and the well is most likely
ruined. 1t was stated that the drill
er were much excited when the ex-
plosion occurred, as it was unex-
pected.
This well was drilled in 1910, il
was supposed to be dry one, but
after several months when the COM
pany returned to draw the casing
they observed that the well was
standing in oil and they thought by
shooting it that the supply could
probably be increased and the well
would prove to be a paying PROPOSE
tion.

Alleged violations of the pure food
laws by vinegar manufacturers have
been so numerous and fragrant that
the department of agriculture has
threatened series of prosecutions. AL
most all manufacturers appear to have
been diluting their product with water
so as to bring the percentage Of acetic
acid down to per cent, the minimum
required by law, although pure apple
vinegar will show from Az to 6 per
cent. acetic acid. The department has
also issued a ruling that all distilled
vinegar must be labeled plainly as such
and that If any coloring matter is add
ed this fact must be stated and also
the purpose of adding the coloring.
