GUSHER BRINGS FORTUNE
TO NEEDY CHILDREN
Oil, Struck on Fansas Farm,
Showers Riches on
Farmer.

By the Associated Press.
SUNNYDALE, Kans.-Oil. renowned
for its gifts of sudden wealth, IS spout
ing in new Klondike near this South
ern Kansas village, bringing riches to
Willard Goodrich, hard-working farmer,
and his two motherless children.
The discovery well in the new pro-
ducing territory is on the Goodrich
farm. With daily output of 1000
barrels, it is the biggest gusher Kansas
has seen in 10 years. 1t came in"
without warning, drenching the sur
rounding fields in oil.
A pool of "black gold" to 5 feet
deep and covering an acre of ground
was formed as neighboring farmers
with teams hurriedly constructed bitches
and dirt dams.
The 80-acre farm on which the well
is located was left to the family by
the mother when she died, IL years
ago. Goodrich has an 18-year-old
daughter, Arlene, and 15-year-old son,
Dale.

SMUGGLERS TRAFFIC
IN AMERICAN MONEY
All Deals at the Russo-Folish
Frontier Are Made in
Dollars.

WARSAW, CP).-Every night. many
thousands of smugglers, land sharks
and bootleggers. cross the Polish bor-
der, one way or the other. but only
about 500 a month are caught at their
illicit trade.
A glance at the map of Poland shows
almost unrivaled opportunities for
! smuggling To the north lies the small
Danzig free city territory, where living
is about twice as expensive as IN
Poland. Then there is the disputed
l20-mile strip of territory along the
Lithuanian demarcation line, where, as
there are no regular commercial rela-
tions between the two countries, SNUG
Cling is rampant. and firing upon SNUG
glers is often mistaken for clashes be-
tween Polish and Lithuanian frontier
guards.
In the east there are many loopholeS
in the 500 miles of wild forest swamp
lands through which the Russo-Pollsh
border line runs. One gets more rubles
for a ten-dollar bill outside than IN
side Russia. where the official quotation
is kept pegged.
Precious stones, silks. drugs and cur
rency, preferably American dollars. are
the principal stock in trade OF the
smuggling fraternity. All deals at the
Russo-Poiish frontier are made in
American dollars, or as in medieval
times, goods are simply exchanged.
Poles barter manufactured articles
against Russian furs, which are also
often paid for in diamonds. AS all OF
these transactions have to be made In
double-quick time for fear of discovery
by frontier guards; most smugglers
have little glasses marked to INDICATE
fba ovaraUo yQliIn i'm diamonds.
Thus. one-uuarter of the glass filled
with diamonds is worth 500, half
filled glass 5000. Most of those stones
are of poor quality and many of them
are spurious, so the risk is always
against the buyer, although sometimes
it is said. they strike it remarkably
lucky,

WHEAT is LOWER
IN EARLY DEALINGS
Market Says on Reports of Argen-

pected Soon.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December 20.-With Liv-
erpool wheat quotations failing to re-
fleet fully yesterdays advances here
the Chicago market averaged lower
early today. AdviceS at hand said
wheat shipments from Argentina were
expected to increase soon, as receipts
at the seaboard have begun to enlarge
decidedly Opening unchanged to 4a
q Off Chicago wheat afterward held
near to the initial figures. Corn, oats
and provisions also we're easier, with
corn starting IA to 5s down and sub
sequently declining still more.
Selling of wheat in Chicago today ap-
parently was based not only on relative
weakness of the Liverpool market and
on expected increase of Argentine
wheat exports, but also on assertions
that talk of improved domestic milling
demand had been exaggerated. Mill
purchases of wheat in Chicago were
said to total only 100000 bushels,
whereas consumer use of wheat in the
United States is almost 100000 BUSH
els daily.
Forecasts of generally fair and cold
weather tended to pull corn values
down. Corn arrivals in Chicago today,
however, amounted to but 10l cars, and
country offerings we're not large. Pr1-
mary receipts of corn today. taken as
a whole, were much smaller than either
a week or a year ago.

1t was a subdued and almost
frightened Crystal who invaded
Tony's bedroom at half past seven.
Two months without Tony, and
yes, without Faith, for she did love
Faith.
"Oh, darling Crystal, don't look
so heartbroken!" Tony said, gath
ering her chum into her arms.
"Tony's sorry! It's Pats idea, you
know. He's so terribly chastened
after last night, wants to make up
to Peg and me for what he thinks
was his desperate wickedness. So
he elected Canada, and Winnipeg, of
all places!"
"Why of all places'?" Crystal
asked, choking on tears of real grief.
why, poor innocent Pat has no
idea that Dick Talbot's family
owns summer lodge in the wilds of
Canada" Tony laughed. I'm sure
it's somewhere near Winnipeg.
pat hasn't said word about
desiring to remove me from the

sure that's at least a minor con-
sideration in this sudden scheme of
his.

want to get married to any one, just
because he gives me a thrill, and 1
wouldn't marry any one if he didn't,

my toes! But maybe it's a good
thing the pumps hurt a little. No
girl can lose her head If her feet
hurt her"
I'm going to miss you unbear-
ably, Tony" Crystal gulped, her
eyes adoring as Tony stood there.

They nominated Mckinley at ST.
Louis. His principal opponent was
Speaker Thomas B. Reed of Maine
supported by Roosevelt and Lodge.
Elaborate and expensive pre-con-
vention campaigns were made for
both, but Mark Hanna made the
best one for Mckinley.
New Deal Demanded
Cleveland was a strong gold
standard man and hoped to beat
the radicals at the '96 Chicago con-
vention.
But Democratic conventions in
thirty states had howled for silver
and many new leaders demanded
strong silver plank if only to win
over the Populists, who had grown
enormously and in some western
states outnumbered both old par
ties.
Bryan, already noted for his pro-
silver speeches in Congress and re-
garded in the west as a Messiah,
had been working for the nominal
ton for two years.
A gold delegation from Nebraska
was unSeated and Bryan and his
silverites given its place.
Speaks Immortal Words
The climax came when "the boy
orator" threw defiance in the enc
my's teeth and summoned the lowly
to battle under the silver standard
against this crown of thorns" and
"a cross of gold"
Sweeping aside the old-line east
ern Democrats they voted down gold
two to one and repudiated Cleve-
lands administration by refusing to
commend it.
The convention gave Bryan 500
on the fifth ballot and quickly add
ed the few votes needed to meet
the two-thirds rule.
Arthur Sewell of Maine was
named for Vice President.
1t appeared first as if there would
be no eastern Democrats and no
western Republicans. The Populist

and National Silver parties also
nominated Bryan. Gold Democrats
seeded and nominated John M.
Palmer and General Simon Buck
ner.
G. o. p. Losses Offset
Many later voted for Mckinley,
offsetting the large swing of silver
Republicans to Bryan. The Repub-
licanS and the eastern banking
commercial interests were in a
panic for time, however, lest Bry-
an win wit the south and the west.
The campaign had two outstand-
ing features One was Bryan's re-
markable 18000-mile speaking tour,
the greatest personal campaign in
history.
The other was the brilliant cam
paign waged by Hanna, who ap-
pealed to bankers and business men
to protect themselves and levied
assessments on corporations, banks
and insurance companies on the
basis OF the partys stand for Sound
money and protective tariffs.
Standard Oil forked over $25OOOO.
With this money Hanna sent out
1,400 speakers and 120,OO0,O0O pieces
of literature to disprove Bryan's
case.
McKinley's popular majority was
100000 in 100000 votes. He took
the east, midwest and part of the
northwest by big majorities, incIud-
ing some formerly Democratic bor-
der states as against former Repub-
lican western states which went for
Bryan.
Bryan had the south and every
thing west of the Mississippi except
California and oregon. The farm
ers had taken their great political
licking. The popular and electoral
