concerning the artesian well recently
bored at that place : "In regard to the
artesian well would say, It is bo
nanza. As to Its medical properties
they have not yet been thoroughly test
ed, but it has cured many eases of skin
diseases of long standing. In tha few
weeks since Its tlnd, also sore eyes and
stomach troubles. The flow will not
go through a pipe 12 inches in diame

October. The railroads in Kansas have
BlgnlUed their willingness to offer very

We had the pleasure this week of
meeting W. J. Darrah, one of the gen
tlemen engaged In boring the well on
Jim Poole' place. He ays that the
first they were aware of having found
gaa, was on Monday of last week
There was about three feet of water In
the well which they had poured In to
soften the ground rock around the drill
A great bubbling noise was heard in
the bottom of the well, and all suppos
ing that an artesian vein had been
struck, the tools were taken out of tbe
well with all possble haste. A few testa
however, soon found that the water
was not rising, and a peculiar smell
oeing noticed at the top of tbe well,
eonvinoed all that they had struck nat
ural gas. Hut to further demonstrate
the matter, Mr. Darrah lighted a piece
of paper, and creeping up as closely as
he dared to the well, touched it to the
gas. This made a great blaze by which
ne came near being burned.
Drilling was continued until Satur
day night last, when at the close of
work several joint, of Iron pump were
ieei, elevated into the air and one end
set In aperture of right size previously
arranged, ny means of a torch they
then lighted the gas at the upper end
of the pipe. This continued to burn
all night Saturday night, all day Sun
day night and untlll Monday morning
wnen it was smothered out so that the
workmen could go on with their drill
ing. Every night, however the pipe Is
adjusted and the "Jet" lighted for the
amusement of the hundreds who flock
there every night to see the phenom

A good deal of unnecessary bother
ha been created by the Ulobe-Demo-
crat' foolish criticism of Mr. Cleve
land's language In laying to the Invit
ing committee, "I will come." There
are hundreds of precedents la litera
ture for the use of the expression, and
tbe Post-Dispatch gives a few. As
the Globe-Democrat pretends to be a
great religious dally, we will submit
two example in point from the script
ures. Paul writes to the Romans:
Whensoever I take my journey Into
Spain I will come to you." And when
tbe eenturian asked the Savior to ac
company htm to his home where his
servant lay sick of tbe palsy, "Jesus
saith unto him : I will come and heal
him." Pretty good authority for Mr.
Cleveland In the Bible.

The editor of a musical journal wrote
an article and headed It "Evolution of

print It read, "Evolution of the Tom

tention was called to the blunder, said
he rather thought tbe title was an Im

about It, a Tom Cat was more musical
than a Tone Art, and therefore was
more appropriate for a musical journal,

In Uriel, And To Tb. Point,
Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe to
good nature.
The human digestive aparatus Is
one of the most complicated and won
derful things in existence. It Is easily
put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits, and many other
things which ought not to be, have
made the American people a nation of
dyspeptics.
But Green' August Flower has done
wonderful work In reforming this
sad buslneBsand making tbe American
people so healthy that they can enjoy
their meals and be happy.
Remember: No happiness without

The so-called Labor, or Ueorge party,

the most Important, undefined quantt
ty of the next presldental campaign,
Republicans are Inclined to encourage
the Ueorge movement, believing that
In tbe great national contest next year
it can be used as a foil to the i'rolilbi
tionlst. In making calculation on
this basis the Republican leader are
liable to be mistaken. Tho Democratic
party has, by word and act, so long
been the friend of the poor man, so
long been tbe defender of the weak
against the strong, so long been the
protector Df the Inconsequential many
against tbe aggressions of the conse
quential tew, that It has been taken
for granted that an Independent poll-
oal party seeking sustenance from
wage-workers would almost of neces-
lty affect the Democratic party exclu
sively. The Democratic being the party
of the masses, as the Republican Is the
classes. It Is a very reasonable supposi

party would be drawn almost exclu

for the purpose of hiding their real

The Labor party of New York Is go
ing to hold a state convention at Syra
cuse in a few week. The delegate to
the convention from New Y ork city
have been aeleoted. The New York
Star ha been looking Into the records
of the delegates for the purpose of dis
covering their past party predilections,
Here Is the result : Butler men, 13 ;
Republicans, 16 ; Socialists, 17 ; Dem
ocrats, 8, and two or three Greenback-
era or not alligned. This showing
ought to have a tendency to quiet the
nerve of excitable Democrats. It sug
gest that the Democratic party will
suffer less than the Republican In New
Y'ork state from a Labor party presi
dential ticket.
Nearly all the political laboring men
voted for Blaine In 1884. Between
Cleveland and Blaine In 1888 their
choice will be Blaine again. It la dear
then that an Independent Labor ticket
In tbe field may prove beneficial to the
Democratic candidate, a It 1 almost
a certainty that Cleveland and Blaine
will be the candidate ot the old par-
tie next year. If the Labor candidate
for president receive 100,000 votes in
New York it is the fair to estimate,
from the figures above given that more
than 80 per cent, of them will be taken
from Blaine. There is nothing In this
prospect to cause alarm to Democrats.
Cleveland cannot compete for the
votes of demagogue with Blaine. He
would not do It In 1884, and the condi
tions have not been changed since
aricTBlaThe ire 'the leader, the Dem
ocrats have nothing to fear from inde
pendent candidates representing isms.
Both Labor and Prohibition tickets In
tbe field next year will help the Dem
ocrats. The present agitators were
almost to a man for Blaine in 1884, aud
the only way to keep them from vot
ing for him next year Is to Induce them
to put up a ticket of tbeir own. Re
publican. Last Thursday was a cold day for
the Prohibitionist in Texas. After
the best fight tbey oould make, they
are buried under a majority that is
absolutely brutal. Tbe heroes of
tha Alamo and Ban Jacinto want no
ourtailment of their liberties.

South, for nearly twenty years. It la
becoming common talk tbat a million

party at every election for so many
years hive failed to secure the negro
any share in the offices at the disposal
of the party ? If that were the reason
for Mr. logall's declarations, how elo
quently aud bitterly would he de
nounce bis party for its treatment ot
the bumble but faithful race to which
it owes so muci. Besides its failure to
secure recognition in the way of nora
nomlnstlons and office, from the Re
