ASTONISHING INFORMATION
What President McKinley and His
Party Discovered in the
Southwest
l"n »m Memphi* Commercial Appeal.
Washington - It in learned author*
itatively from very real (able source*
that the president and his party have
made a moiit antoninhiug discovery in
the south. The dinpatchet that have
come back here from able correnpond
ents, who arc on the presidential train,
and therefore in a ponitiou to know,
!>car cvidcncci* of the fact that the par
ty in wine mysterious way have found
out that the civil war U over; that the
men are no longer moulding bullets to
)>e fired at Yankee breast* and the
women have quit baking biscuits for
the soldiers. The smoke of battle han
almost cleared away; moht of the con*
federate noldicrn have taken off their
uniforms; there i» scarcely a dead body
left on the battlefield*; the men have
gone to work again; the housewife in
busy and the blue smoke curls up joy*
ously from the kitchen chimmey;everv
thing is peaceful and the town goat
tranquilly eatn bin dinner of brown pa
per in the square.
It is amusing, not irritating, the
view of , the southern people from the
northern standpoint even in thi* day
of enlightenment. Kight here in
Washington, a place Mipponed to be to
some extent innoculated with southern
sentiment, there in a mo»t exaggerate
notion of the "simple audawc-Mrickcu
I>cople". A southern man here i* ex
pected to »tand on the htrcct corner
with a julep in one hand and a pistol
in the other. He must wear long boots
L'.ich an are uncd by every well regulat
ed Htagc villian. and his hat must be
broad-brimmed to partially cover his
unkempt lock*. He must practice
shooting at clctric light*, and be able
to wjurt tobacco juice over the Wash
ington monument. He must cuss be
tween »y liable* and be able to laugh as
loud an a well known barn fowl. Thin
is the prencnt idea, but it is all over
now. The civil war i* over— so the
repurtn from the presidential train
nay.

growing them in Alaska to feed the
foxes. Fox farming has devolped in
to a substantial Industry up there, the
government having leaned a lot of is*
lands for the purpose. Mack and gray
(ox skins sometimes run up at high as
$150 apiece and there i» plenty of mon

Home time ago men drilling for oil
in Ohio *ent a number of nttroglycer*
mc nhclU into a hole, one of which ex*
plodcd when it reached a depth of
twenty-five feet. There vrasatresneti*
doiiH gtmh of oil, the flow luring ho
strong that the derrick wan deluged
from top to bottom. Apparently here
wan the l»i^ r^<"st well in the history of
oil business, and the company which
was doing the drilling naturally exult*
ed at thcproitpect of a fortune. Hut
their joy wan short-lived. The Buck*
eve I'ijH* Line Company** eight-inch
pi|>e, through which six thousand bar
rel* of oil pa** each day, Middenly *hut
down. An investigation was started,
and before many hours it wa» found
that the new well had !>cen drilled
clone to the pipe, which had been brok
en by the explosion, and the oil, which
seemed to come from the well, really
came from the pipe line. T hi* ended
the career of a "great spoil ter."
