The New York Store

ESTATJLISIIED lSoC.) This morning wili witness the beginning at our store of the greatest Fur Selling Indianapolis has ever seen yesterday's papers will tell you all about it. Pettis Dry Goods Co AHUSKMKXTS. Fnderevrski'n Favorites. Ignase Paderewskl, the lionized, the wept over, the musical riot Invigorator, was interviewed In New York the other day on his placo playing and the composers he most likes. "Ha! When, you ask me my favorite compositions," said the virtuoso, "you speak to mo of Beethoven's sonatas. They are all my favorites, but perhaps ray feelings Incline toward the last the great maestro ever wrote, tho ono hundred and eleven. So. it is not on the tapis that I play this In New York. Here I will play the thirtyone, No. 2 and the one hundred and one, neither of which I have yet played In : this city before. ; "When do I practice? Well, always from five to six hours a day, and some day when I have concert the most important, I practice thirteen, fourteen hours before. When I do not play so many recitals I do not fracticc so much. In the summer, when take my complete rest, I play not more than ono or two hours a day. Of course, I have a piano sent before me to every hotel where I stay. No, I do not only practice my concert pieces. 1 begin first always with five finger exercises and octavo practice. I start the moment I get up from my bed, about 9 or 30, and 1 never eat my breakfast until half my practice is over. When I play in the afternoon I take only a cup of tea or sometimes a soft boiled tgg. Only sometimes. My principal meal Is always after my recital, often not until 11 o'clock at night. Then I play billiards with my secretary, Hugo Gorlltz, . before bed. Oh! I am a good player. Yes, I havo made three breaks of IKteen this week. "When I go upon th stage I can feet my auilence at once. That is true. As I walk across my eye flashes often on some one with sympathetic exterior, and I am always conscious of their presence while I play. I know, too, when there are many new people who have never heard me before, and as I go through the programme I. feel-that they gradually become sjmpathetle listeners. "Do 1 admire the works of Wagner? Well, yes, some of them, but he only comes after a number of others. All Chopin, for instance. ar.J Schumann's l,api!licns; then there Js the sonata In F sharp minor by Schumann, which Is my very great fivorite. Chopin and Schumann, ah! they are the real great composers." "Do you compose much music yourself?' was asked the eminent player. "Ha! No," he said, with a sudden shade of sorrow coming over his countenance. "No. I would be so glad to devote all my time to composing. Now I do a little in my leisure time, but as soon as it is possible I will retire from this this always pleying and compose all my time. An! That w!Il be good." . Paderewekl was asked which among the. many pieces he plays he considered to b the most dinlcult of execution. "The variations cn a theme by Tagan'.nl, written by Brahms," he. promptly replied. "These, have never been played by me or anybody else at a concert here, but I shall probably play them at my secon.1 recital. They nave, needed more practice tnan anything L have do.it; before, except perhaps Schumann's 'Etudes Symphonioues.' " Xlun array Convent Ctrl In the Chorn. A handsome youns girl applied for a position in tho chorus of "The Wizard of the Nile" at tho New York Ci?5no last week. She said she had sung with Francis Wilson, Po Woif Hopper and ether opera stars. Sho was accordingly cngasr'd cn trial, b'he gave her name as Miss Ltele Meade. Miss Meade proved an earnest worker, and was at once, looked upon as a valuable addition to the company. She seemed to enjoy the work and aked to "understudy' ho desired, she said, to ultimately venture Into grand opera. A great surprise was in store for her associates. On Tuesday night, before the performance had concluded, it was noticed that two nuns were walking up and down near the stage door of the theater, as if watching for some one. They waited until th members of the chorus began to come out, and when Miss Meade made her appearance one. of them stepped forward and said something to her in a low voice, which sounded like "Sister Grace!" Miss Meade gave a smothered scream, yet followed the two nuns to a shadow of tho Casino Building, where for a few moments afterward she was observed to be weeping bitterly. At last she withdrew from them and re-entered tho Casino by the stage door, and soon reappeared with a bundlo of clothes. Fhe has not since been seen by any one. .Th mystery of her disappearance was explained by a roommate. Miss Meade had confided to her that she- had run away from a suburban convent to join the comlo opera company, and that a sister - of hers was one of tho superiors of tho institution. Damroich to Open at Cincinnati. CINCINNATI, Nov. 10. The arrival today of Walter Damroich and his symphony orchestra and company of Wagnerian singtrs by special train from Tlttsburg and New York Is preparatory to the opening of the American tour of his opera company, which takes place here Tuesday night. Among the artists now here are Klafsky, Jadskl, Mulder. Klbenschutz. Popovichl, Hehrens and others. "Die Walkuere" Is the opera for the opening night, with Klafsky as Rrunhllde. Unusual interest has been manifested by the musical public on account of the reputation of the artists and of the long dearth of opera In Cincinnati. Notes of the Stage. The comedy called "Nancy," in which Fany Rice opens her engagement at Enalish's to-nlght. Is from the German, being adapted from "Three Fairs of Shoes," a Tlay that has enjoyed yean of popular favor in tho Kaiser's realm, the leading role being played by Marie Geistinger. This woman's name is known and she is loved throughout tho united empire for the pleasure afforded the people by her bright comedy performances. Roth singing and acting of high degree are required of the star in "Nancy." and thus it is that Fanny Rice Is doubly tilted for the part.. The engagement U for the first three days of the week, with a Wcdnesaay matinee. Charles Osgood Is in the city in advance of "IW. which comes to the Grand next week. Mr. ; Osgood says people who saw the show last year v 111 hardly recognize the old production. It has been supplied with new muiio and new features until It Is said to bo almost a new show throughout. The famous Kllanyl living pictures tin originals in this country, arc with "UK." ' IJucoln J. Carter, the ex-ttjegrapher whose three mechanical melodramas ?Tn Fast Mall," "Tornado" and "The Defaulter." have made him a fortune. Is at work on a new play railed "Chicago." In which he expects to outdo all his former efforts at spectacular realism. Speaking of Carter's "Kast Mail." there are two companies playing the piece in Lngland. Richard Mans3e!d, who has not played In Indianapolis for seven or fight yearn, will appear here after the holidays.

The new opera will be seen here during holidays, on the return Kast of the Rostonlans. Clever I-a Regalonclta and her sisters, the wonderful children dancers, who made a great hit in New York and were forced to leave tho stage by the ever-watchful Commodore Gerry, are stranded in Brazil. They were taken there by their mother, who was forced to earn a living somehow. Now the news comes that the mother has died of a fever, and the Actors Fund at New York has sent money to the children. Russ Whytall and his notably talented and beautiful wife have closed a profitable engagement in Chicago with Whytall's play, "For Fair Virginia." This new play that was launched with great praise by all the critics in New York last spring will be seen here the Jrst of this month. Nellie Dunbar, a "female baritone" singer, is- with "Delmonico's at 6," that comes to the Park to-day for half the week. This farce, by Glen MacDonough, was in Marie Jansen's repertory for two seasons, and "wa3 seen at the Grand last winter. Olga Nethersole played "Denlse" for the first time in America last week la Rochester, and apparently scored an even stronger success than she had recorded in "Camllle" and other plays with which she has made herself familiar to this public. The farce comedy called "Crazy Patch," which was made very successful by the late Kate Castleton, Is to be revived with Kittle Mitchell as the star. The principal supporting comedian will be John J. Burke, recently of the American Extravaganza Company. Nell Burgess has made a tremendous failure with "The Year One," after spending an enormous sum of money putting the Star Theater, at New York, in chape for the production. Miss Currle Duke, violinist, and Miss Myrta French, soprano, are with Sousa's Band, which gives a concert at Tomllnson Hall Wednesday night. , ' Nal Goodwin, who produced Henry Guy Carleton's new play. "Ambition," in New York last week, will not come West this season. Tho Grand Is "dark" until Thursday night, when Camllle D Arville comes with her comic opera company in "Madeline." The shutters will be up at the Empire all week. Next week Hyde's comedians will take the house by storm. CARLOADS WENT OCT

I.DIA.APOLIS INDUSTRIES MADE LARGE SHIPMENTS. Lars Quantities of Machinery Exported Bonrd of Trade Statistics for October Industrial Notes. But .few persons who reside in this city know what the various industries are doing. The Atlas engine works, which now give employment to six hundred men. In the month of October shipped to all parts cf the country 131 carloads of engines and boilers, the Parry Manufacturing Company sixty-five carloads of four-wheeled vehicles, Chandler & Taylor thirty carloads of engines and boilers, Nordyke & Harmon twenty-seven carloads of milling machinery, the Standard wheel works seventeen carloads. The statistics of the Standard wheel works do not by any means represent the works' production, as local manufacturers of carriages take a large per cent, of their product, and with the other industries there are many small shipments which are delivered at the city freight depots for some local point on tho respective lines. The above statements are official, and tho billing shows the shipments went to all rarts of this country, some to Mexico, some to South America, and It is noticeable that the shipments to Southern States of engines, boilers and sawmills are on the increase. ' October Shipments The following are the shipments of Indianapolis industries over the fifteen lines In the month of October as reported to the Board of Trade: Flour.

The Indianapolis hominy mills, which were shut down a couple of weeks to make repairs, have resumed operation. The Western Furniture Company reports business improving with tho furniture manufactories. This company now has 110 men at work and is running nine hours a day. The water works wili in a day or two complete the. work of this season. In which the company has laid over 75.000 feet of pipe, most of it large pipe for main lines. M. 11. Spades is making quite an- addition to the "Windsor Block, which, when completed, wilt admit of running the. stores, having a front on Illinois street, sixty feet back. The Jenney Electrlo Motor Company was last week awarded contracts for a large plant in St. Louis and one in Chicago. The company is still working a day and night force. . The Itoekwood Manufacturing Company Is busy. Since the 1st of the month it has secured several good bridge contracts, and has shipped seven sawmills .to the Indian Territory, Texas and Missouri. . The Parry Manufacturing Company senti Edward Parry to Dallas to represent the works at the Texas State fair, and as a result of his trip he sold vehicles enough to load thirty-seven, cars, or the product of the works for a month or more. , In tho month of October the railways brought into this market 260 carloads of hay, mostly prairie hay. In former years 110 carloads was tho highest number reached. This item shows what a failure of the hay crop in the vicinity of Indianapolis means, John, Guedelhoefer, who makes a specialty of building delivery wagons, has Just completed an addition to his plant on Kentucky avenue, which will enable him to largely increase his force. Mr. Guedelhoefer has built up a lare trade over the State and in. Ohio and Illinois. E. C. Atkins, of the Atkins raw works, has just returned from an extended Southwestern trip, taking in New Mexico. Tho works are now quite busy each year, orders coming In from new territory. The. pay roll on Saturday showed four hundred persons employed by the company. ; With tho -American starch works going into operation. th two starch works, the cercalin mills and too Indianapolis hominy mill, when running to their capacity. will require twenty thousand bushels of corn a day. All must be. selected com, as only tho Ilncst quality can be ued. Last year Indianapolis and Indiana were supplied by apples shipped in here from New l-lngland and Michigan, the crop In this section being a failure. This year the Indianapolis commission merchants are shipping apples to both New England and Michigan, the apple crcps In these States having been a failure. The local market has been overstocked with apples. The lndianapotis cabinet works' are fast resuming their olden time activity. With each week the company is increasing Its force, and Is now quite? busy. Last week a number of carloads of desks were sold, four hundred to go to a lea ling lirm in one city in the West and several large shipments were triads to Kastern States. The company has not entered the export field, where desks of the manufacture of the former company had gained a strong foothold. Could Take the Whole Lot. Chicago Times-Herald.

GOOD CITIZENS' DUTY

SERMOX ny ncv. rnMK o. dallard , ON ALLEGIANCE TO PARTIES. The , Doty of All Who Love Their Conntr;tO Attend Primaries ana Help Make t'p Tarty Tickets. -i ;r,r -.- - " ! Rev. Frank O. Ballard, of Memorial Church, yesterday spoke of good citizenship, viewing it as it relates to the exercise of the franchise of the American people.' Ho took for his text: "And the children of Iasacher were, men who had under-, standing of the times to know what Israel ought To' do." I Chr. xil, 22. "I am going to speak this morning upon good citizenship. I deem this a favorable time, Just when the excited passions of. the campaign are subsiding," he said, "to discuss some of the deeper principles that affect our existence as a people. The revelations of a general election are always more or less startling; the capture of certain States and cities always stimulates the successful party and shadows the losing one, while different men are quick to read in the result either the doom or the redemption of the Republic, according ,as they are blindly attached to this or that party. Meantime there is a deep and far-reaching foundation being laid in which we can 'all rejoice. I refer to the mighty rise on every hand of a new patriotism, superior to partisanship, which is beginning to study afresh and from new points of view, the questions that He most at the root of national' existence. ' ; ' . "If you ask for the signs of this movement, they are on every hand. We behold It in a new phraseology which . Is current. The term 'good citizenship' itself, while not new, has obtained a new significance. We see it In the flood of magazine articles devoted to the moral aspect of good citizenship. This class of articles, it 13 safe to say, has multiplied five-fold within the last two years, and I merely mention it as a straw showing the direction of the political wind. We notice It In the springing Into existence of tens of thousands of clubs of youns men and women, under the general designation of 'good citizenship clubs ' or committees in city, village and country. We eee it in the existence of an almost unusual new endeavor to ducate the Juniors in the duties of citizenship, both In the common schools and In the churches a thing unheard of a few years ago. We behold It again In those great 'leagues like the Civic Federation of Chicago, the Municipal League of Philadelphia and the Committee of Fifty of New York, the object of which is to deliver these cities over to moral righteousness, and to this end they seek to band all honest men together in conspiring against roguery, violence and fraud. We decern it In the less noticeable, but more far-reaching, conferences of prominent citizens which are held with Increasing frequency, like the re-r cent conference for good city government held in Philadelphia,. It 13 interesting to note that when the call for this conference was made preparations had already begun by the workers for good city government la Minneapolis to call a similar national gathering in that city. Without any previous communication or understanding upon the subject, the necessity for the movement was felt in the East and West simultaneously. And again we see the evidence of the movement in the spontaneous rally of all the younger members of tho church as represented In the Christian Endeavor societies now so rstong. Finally, we recognize a new era in that general uprising of good people which, not long ago, delivered Chicago, the city least liable to reform, to the cUil-serv-Ice-reform Idea by a majority of 30,412, and the other uprising, two years ago. when Tammany was burled under fifty thousand white ballots in New York city. SIGNS OF THE TIMES. "All these signs mean, if they mean anything, a tremendous rekindling of the consciences of men with . respect to civil and political affairs; it means a new belief in' and respect for honesty In government; it means a sickening sense of disgust with being blindly led and meekly slaughtered;' it means a wholesome revolt against Iniquity in places where once men bent the supple knee to it ln worship, or, whimpering, bowed their craven neck to Its fiery lash. "I remark In the next place that as this beneficent movement did not originate with the professional politicians, it is, therefore, a thing not to be committed to their care. It is a notable fact that needed reforms are rarely ever enacted by those people who arc in the business of ruling; on the contrary they begin with agitation among tho people. The professional politician will generally be- found to have long ago forgotten the contention between right and wrong; hist only struggle i3 to obtain Eossession of powfer and it is difficult for 1m to see any system to bo objectionable which gives him authority and control. The present struggle then Is a struggle between the people and the politician in that, sense. Machine politics is the enemy of public freedom and resistance to- it is a strife for liberty." After reviewing a number of the evils that are allowed to exist by the silence of the good citizens, the speaker continued: "If this be so, what Is the duty of the people? It is your duty to make good citizenship your lirst concern by study, by conduct, by influence, by every power of your soul and body. 'What! pome one will say, 'are we not to serve God? In reply, yes, and there Is no way in which you can serve God except by serving man, and besides the family there Us no other part of the social order of duties which are so grave as those of citizenship. Some will ask if the church does not take precedence of the State. I know a good many think so, but what docs the church exist for but to bring about on this earth an ideal society? Ihc church is here, not to savo itself, but to save the world. There Is no higher service of God than is comKrlsed in true citizenship. He who evades is duties therein may call himself a Christian and may think he has escaped from tho world, but Ichabod is written, on, hltn in heaven. . .... "You ask, 'How am I to be a good citizen?' You must think and read about the country. It is your duty to know what lessons history teaches about the success and failure of forms of government. Y'ou should acquaint yourself with the experiments that are mado in foreign cities, as Manchester and Berlin, many of which are better governed and enjoy more freedom than our own. There Is a wonderful new literature concerning tho problems of municipal government and a 'good citizen is one who uses his head to understand, some of the concerns of the present civilization, and is making dally some conquest, however small, of the literature of the subject. It is your duty to vote with the broadest patriotism and vhe greatest courage. There is a weapon in the hands of every man above twenty-one years of age more piercing than the bayonet. I rejoice in the Increasing sense of the sanctity of tho ballot. The suggestion has been made that the 6th of March, tho anniversary of the martyrdom of Albert Koss for defending the ballot-box, bo hallowed as Christian citizenship day by all Christian Endeavor societies". Kuneral flowers havo sometimes . of late taken the form of a ballot-box which the dead died to defend. This was not on the coffin of a Christian Endeavorcr. but of a brave Swedish saloon keeper In Chicago, who lost his life rather than surrender the ballots intrusted to his count and care at tho demand of a murderous gang. POWKil OF THB BALLOT. . "Men who vote have access to every single element of roer in society, and If they organize wisely and skillfully, If they understand themselves, they will be stronger than a throne. Every government stands on votes; every administration stands on votes; every 'policy stands on votes; the security of property, of order, of life Itself stands on votes, and the great mass of tho common people have, in enormous disproportion, this element of power, because they have numbers, and numbers will carry the day where they are wisely, organized and directed. One of the hopeful signs of tlte times is the reverence men feel for the ballot as being that In which the divine will is expressed in the ruling of the earth. "But while I speak of casting the ballot there is a duty that goes before that and it is to see that the ballot is fit to cast. It has been thceuistem In this country to allow the dishonest men to make up the tickets that .the honest men were to vote at the polls, so that when the wclimeaning, though indifferent citizen, came to vote there was nothing left for him but to choose from evil candidates and tr conscience of the voter was stultified. It becomes then the duty of every good citizen to attend the primaries where the tickets are made up. Why should not the best men in a D&rtv make tfca ticket? Why

should the worst? If there is not divine right of kings is there a divine right of professional politicians? If I , go to the polls and have had no voice in making the tickets, but must simply vote one or the other of the printed forms, where is my sovereignty? I do not complain of the law it is goodbut "what I do Fay is that every citizen should be concerned as truly in the primaries as he Is on election day in the voting booths It may not be congenial to go to the party caucus, to speak in it, to contend- with your voice and influence there, but remember that if good citizens attended to this duty the primary would become quite as clean and congenial as the concert chamber or the church, except to liquor sellers and spoilsmen. Let every citizen go to the primary and there stand for the best men and the best measures. No duty-at the church or in the family can for a . moment compete witn the duty to etand by society in its effort to rise out of its -woe by the only power known to us for tho cleansing of the morais oi' the earth. I say again, go to the primaries, take knowledge with you there, know the men, be practical politicians, take your courage with you, and your conscience with you. If you do this it will not be very long until, as now in somo English cities,' a nomination for civic office wili be the .very highest certificate of lofty character and disinterested patriotism." Mr. Ballard spoke of municipal politics and argued that the existirg parties should havo no effect on city elections; that it should be understood that no anan could be elected except he be worthy of tho office, and that all good citizens should cast aside national issues when voting for candidates for city offices, 'and let nothing control his vote except a -desire to place in olllce a man who would enforce the laws and administer the affairs of the city In a business-like manner. Speaking of the Inability Of the good citizens to win a victory because of their failure to properly organize, he said: ; "The trouble has been that political revivals have been like religious revivals, a temporary union for a cngte evangelistic effort, followed by a- still narrower spirit of denomlnatlonalism afterward. We have an eminent example la New York. There the friends of good government threw down

the vilest rule that ever a modern citysubmitted to. lmmeaiateiy a dozen separate reforms sprung to the front, each anxious to seize and direct the new movement, each jealous of the precedence of the other, each selfishly determined to marshal the campaign. With what result? Ten tickets in the field tand a renaissance of Tammany. It was not tho strength of evil men that could avail to seize the city: It was tho weakness of the good citizens shown In their inability .to hold together. It was political bigotry, instead of civic patriotism." . CITY-NEWS NOTES. At the morning services at the Third Christian Church - yesterday resolutions were adopted in memory , of the late Colonel A. W. Johnson, who was long an active member of that congregation and its official board. Marian New, aged" five, years, only daughter of Mr. and .3Irs. William A. Wilklns, died last night at 7:30. The child's illness began with diphtheria, and that disease had been overcome, but typhoid symptoms followed and resulted fatally. The funeral and burial. will be private. Earthquakes and Gas and Oil. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Since the occurrence of the recent shocks of earthquakes f have', noticed several articles, written' by "as rnany different authors, glvlrg their view of the cause of the shakeups, none of which appear entirely reasonable to mel. One writer gives It as his opinion that the cause is attributable to the condition of the earth's crust, through or resulting from the ' gradual cooling of the supposed molten Interior; another supposes the Immense volume of1 gas and oil that have been .drawn from the earth to have come from a lake-like body or separate strata underlying a large area of country, which, having no mother immediate support, sank down or .collapsed, like a bridge with unsurficient support, 'after the oil and gas had been removed; another scientist, In disputing this last theory accounts for earthquakes upon the first, or cooling and contracting basis, - and then goes on, and accounts for the deposits of oil and gas by decomposition of animal or vegetable matter in the Trenton or other rocks in which It is found,," adding that as It is drawn out of t'sreo earth- the vacuum . or space evacuated isdUled by salt water, thus furnishing t a support to the overlying stratas equally as good as the oil and gas taken out. While the latter theory is more reasonable, taken as 4 a whole, than any of the former or other reasons given. It will not bear a close analysis according to my view'of the subject, and as I have not read any theory, or. conversed with any one holding views corresponding with those I entertain, I will state them for the benefit o those of. your' readers who may be interested in speculative problems. As to the cooling and contraction theory, it is based on the supposition that the Interior of the earth is in a molten state, of which there is no evidence aside from that of the molten matter ejected from volcanoes. I dispute" such a condition from the standpoint that it is a well-known faU that a gun mu?t have a very heavy breech to withstand the recoil and enable it to throw a heavy projectile a great distance, likewise a Volcano must have a solid backing to enable it to eject tons of rock and lava miles into the air. Volcanoes are but safety valves for the escape of gases that aro belr.g generated from time to time throughout the earth's rim from the decomposition or .'chemical action of mineral substances that may be brought In contact with each other through percolation of water or other fluids, and when-1 ever the pressure of the accumulating gases reaches a certain limit something must ' give way and. it starts out upon a ripping-up process to find an outlet, which it succeeds in doing at a point nearest the surface, .or .at some ancient volcano, and the passage of tho gases through the ilm of the earth while seeking an outlet and the sudden relief of pressure by escape Is what produces the shaking or earthquaking. The lava and ashes arc produced by the excessive electric or magnetic heat, causing smoke 1 and flame in the throat of the crater, 'and' while I do not think I would enjoy being in the immediate vicinity of a volcanic opening I always feel that we are . tho safer after It has occurred. Now,1; as to oil and grfs I being directly Interested In the production of both, and one of the pioneer operators of Ohio and Indiana and of a speculative turn of mind I. hold peculiar views as to their origin, and where they are to be founJ. Oil is a mineral, produced by chemical heat and action.- and Is the by-product of other minerals. Oil gas is the evaporation from oil. and its production is going on continually; then, there is another gas, natural, gas as we call" it. which is entirely yifferent in its composition, which I term mineral gas, or mineral fumes and is always found in connection with mineral veins, hence I conclude it is a mineral fume. The gas obtained from the Indiana gas field Is about eqclly divided between the two kinds; the only difference in the burning of the two is that the mineral gas produces less smole; there are other differences, such as odor and effect upon pipe and fittings, and which I can recognize at once. As to Trentoi rock, or any other of the rocks or sands jn which oil is found, having anything to do with its formation, the proposition is not tenable. There is nounng in them that ever did or will pro duce oil; they only provide the necessary storage or tankage required, and in the Trenton limestone areas the oil deposits are confined to veins only corresponding to the system of blood veins In the human body and I here make the statement, and am prepared to prove it, that nowhere In the Trenton rock areas will anything corresponding to a pool, as ell men term it, be found. Of course, In sand stone or conglomerate formations another condition exists, and wherever a basin or- trap 1s found that can be fed from a higher oil source It will furnish the required conditions of an oil pool. My rtason for asserting that oil and gas are by-products of some other mineral Is the fact that gas or oil Is not and never was found anywhere except In association with mineral deposits, and while it may be new to Ohio and Indiana residents to learn that they are occupying territory that has been worked over centuries ago by a prehistoric race of people for the mineral wealth beneath, yet such is the fact, and I am prepared to demonstrate It to any one . who may be interested enough to lnveslgate, and I will further engage to point out an oil or gas llelJ where evidence of mineral deposits can be found, and such evidence Is more numerous than one unacquainted with these things would suppose. The Indiana gas and oil field covers a large scope of territory in which test wells were drilleJ in bad locations and con demned. which, later on, will be drilled over again and oil or gas be found and throughout said territory It is simply a matter of location as to whether gas, oil or a dry hole Is the result. In my own experience of several hundred holes I recollect three or four 'dry holes that were drilled within twenty-five feet of good producers, demonstrating my theory of veins. ' B. P. FULTON.

It has for a long tlmo been decreed that the Republican party should carry Utah, and this has been done In the quiet, sklflful manner by which the Latter-day Saints usually accomplish their purposes. In a political sense, the Mormons are anything but freo traders. Indeed, their politics adopts from their religion the idea that they are a peculiar and exclusive people, who desire to transact all their business and to indulge their social habits together among themselves. The prophet Joseph Smith was a protectionist, holding that the four main pillars of prosperity, viz., agriculture, manufactures, navigation and commerce, require the fostering care of the general governmerit Brlghara Young often declared that every article of home consumption should be produced hy home Industry, advocating thorough independence of foreign markets. Of the present presidency of the church all three, Wllford Woodruff. George Q. Cannon and Joseph F. Smith are Republicans. Frank J. Cannon, son of George Q., Is the present Republican Delegate in Congress from'Utah. Joseph F. Smith has been identified with the 'Republican party ever since President Harrison granted him a pardon, under which he returned to Utah from a long exile. Woodruff, who is a senile octogenarian, openly exhibited his Cannon ticket for Delegate at the polls last year, and had the fact of his voting it telegraphed to all parts of the Territory. So it appears that the highest authorities in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints are identified with the Republicans. There are, however, some prominent church leaders who are not only Democrats, but who, in the last canvass, resisted the attempt made by President Joseph F. Smith at a priesthood meeting not long ago to set the body of Mormons against Apostle Mcses Thatcher and Bishop Roberts on account of their being candidates on the Democratic ticket without having first obtained the consent of the church. Indeed, quite a number of the Democratic candidates at last Tuesday's election are Mormons. Thatcher, of the Council of Twelve Apostles, has been named by his party for United States Senator. John T. Calne, who preceded Rawlins as a congressional delegate, ran for Governor; Bishop Roberts, for Congress; Richard W. Young, a son of Brlgham, for Supreme Judge, and a number of others for various offices; The Republican State ticket contained quite as many Mormons, and was headed by Heber M. Wells, belonging to one of the oldest polygamous families in Utah. So, as represented on their tickets, the church influence question would seem to be six of one and half a dozen of the other. The fact probably is that there is a good deal of demagogy on both sides, so far as the leaders are. concerned, and a vast amount of ignorance, superstition and blind faith, with dogmatism, on the part of the masses. There ha been much vociferation by the people who are recognized as managing the affairs of the church as to the freedom of all Mormons to exercise their own untrammeled Judgment In regard to political matters. But there are the best reasons for asserting that such pretensions are lalse. The highest dignitaries of the church have been caught prevaricating in respect to this. Whilst Joseph F. Smith, in March, 1892, signed with President Woodruff a public statement declaring they had no disposition to direct in these matters, the former toured the Territory during the congressional contest in the summer and fall, teaching the doctrine that the priesthood alone knew the spirit of God, as well with respect to temporal os to spiritual affairs. Lorenzo Snow and other men conspicuous in the Mormon society, freely advanced the idea that as through their perfect organization they could regulate the number of votes to be cast by them at every precinct, it was their best policy to make a nearly equal division between the Republican and Democratic parties. The effect of such advice was seen in the election results. In the congressional Delegate election of 1S92 Bishop Stevens produced with the countenance and Indorsement of a member of the presidency a clean letter of fellowship for one of the candidates, who had confessed to various departures from rectitude, which letter was circulated at the Sunday schools and church meetings throughout the Terri tory, and naturally construed as expression. of the desire or the pnestnooa ior uie election of the aspirant so whitewashed. A CHARACTERISTIC TRICK. Ona of the curious features developed by the recent Utah campaign was a telegram dated July 18, 1804, addressed by the Mormon presidency. Woodruff, Cannon and Smith, to a gentleman named Isaac Trumbo, a capitalist and "promoter" vibrating between Salt Lake and San Francisco. This gentleman had scarcely been known in Utah politics until he dropped In with General Clarkson about the time things were being done out there to prevent the free-silver party from supporting Weaver, or, rather, to persuade the Liberals to espouse the cause of Harrison. -Utah, to be sure, had no vote, but the .Salt Lake. Tribune bad been the organ of the Republicans of Idaho. v yomlng and, to somo extent, Nevada. There was the same distrust of the old parties that exists now in the mountain States, and It was desirable that as far as possible thi Republican Mormons of Utah should not be allowed to sympathise with the Weaver party on account of the influence th-reby oxerted upon thousands of saints in tho adjoining States. There was considerable dickering about that, period, and the repeated trips to and fro of Clarkson and Trumbo. Republicans-both, gave rise to no end of gossip, but there never was any connection perceptible between these intrigues and tho question of statehood. These names were indeed associated with certain railroad projects fathered by George Q. Cannon and other capitalists of Salt Lake, but surely they had done nothing to promote the measuro to whi?h the Democracy especially was supposed to be committed. In the Minneapolis convention received the Utah admission subject with a cold shrug The Democratic convention, on 'the other' hand, was unequivocal and emphatic In favoring the proposition. At the previous session of Concress Delegate Calne (Democrat) had introduced an enabling act and advocated it with zeal and persistency, backed by the entire Democratic party, but was prevented from getting his bill through chiefly by Republican opposition. Mr. Calne's successor, Rawlins took up the same cause with even more enthusiasm, and, by his eloquence and personal solicitation among the t members, carried the measure through the House triumphantly, silenced the opposition of the New England Senators in the Senate, and had the pleasure of witnessing the President's signature of tho act. But the telegram alluded to above congratulated Mr. Trumbo on the "successful termination of your labor," with other flattering but totally undeserved and amazing remarks. This telegram was freely used on and before the 6th inst. throughout the Territory, indicating that the Democratic party was in no sense to be commended for Its efforts toward securing statehood, but that the glory rested elsewhere. It was a document which on its face exhibited a partisan purpose, although purporting to be in the nature of a thanksgiving proclamation proanely associating the name of Trumbo with the Almighty as having wrought the "political deliverance of the people of Utah." Jt, in fact, belied a dozen previous declarations by the same ecclesiastics as to the perfect neutralltv of the priesthood In regard to politics. 'Indeed, tho Deseret News, the organ of the church, edited by one of George CJ. Cannon's sons, repeatedly declared that tho Latter-day Saints took no interest whatever in statehood. Truly, the record of the high Mormon officials In regard to their solemn declarations on the subject of the freedom of the Saints in all political affairs is one bristling with evasions, subterfuges, deceit, fraud and falsehood. A TIMELY WARNING. The American public, with all the evidences of Mormon hypocrisy, are now brought face to face with the proposition to admit Utah to tho family of States with a constitution proclaiming the complete divorce of church and State, while by far the largest element of the population is absolutely under the control and direction of an ecclesiastical body which. In the very election for the adoption of the Constitution, exhibits an utter defiance of that vital, essential principle. Believing in the sincerity of tho priesthood and' its representatives, Congress passed an enabling act whereby, with the adoption of the Constitution, nothing is wanting to make Utah an equal Stato in tho Union except the proclamation of the President. Yet all the Indication are that, once in, the Mormon presidents, apostles, couplers nd Quorua cf Csventka

will proceed to rule the new Commonwealth as It was ruled In the days of Brigham Young and President Taylor, unless it bo in respect to the Institution of polygamy, which, though it has been only "suspender' by the church, will probably never be revived. The question is, Can Congress, before Mr. Cleveland takes, the case up. reauire additional guarantees of the good faith of theFe people? If It can, in the name of every principle of liberty and right, in behalf of the doctrine of prLmary civil allegiance to one's country, let this be done! Of course, it i understood that where Mormons constitute nine-tenths of the jeople, as they do In Utah, Mormons must be expected to be largely represented in ofliclal place, but in the late election both political parties tried to out-Herod Herod In ihelr bids for the church vote. The manifest preference for the Republican ticket drove the Democrats, not to any avowed opposition to the presidency and priesthood individually', but to very warm expressions against church Interference or dictation; and at the close of tho contest this lsue overshadowed all others. It was a doubtful. If not a desperate challenge, and the result is by no means surprising. .. A Mormon flovemor and State legislature, a Republican Supreme Court (Including Judge Zane, late Territorial Chief Justice. , who was one of the first to leave the Uberal or anti-Mormon party) and the entire new State machinery -these emphasizing the victory of Cannon and Smith. The legislature will elect a member of the Canron family as one- of the United States Senators, and probably throw the other ah a sop to the editor of the Tribune, Mr. C. C. Goodwin, formerly the iitterest Mormon-hater in the Territory. ..WHAT OF THE FUTURE? But what are the natural sequences for the future? Either the Thatcher-Calne-Rob-erts faction must continue their flght'agalnst church domination, and the tight of the priesthood to advise, supervise or review the political opinions and bollefs of the Latterday Ealnt, or. else tho present Democratic and Republican parties must disintegrate by the secession. otthe genlJles, and reform Into the elements that existed prior to tho manifesto of 1871, ruepending polygamy. Only by the first-named course can the Saints, as a church and class, be emancipated from their present - deplorable intellectual bondage. The brains of this peculiar religious organization are on the sld3 of religious freedom, except those possessed by a few whose interests and ambitions are best subserved by sustaining1 the will and reason of their followers under the pretense of Its being the command of Liod. It Is fair to say it is not religion or politics alone wherein the Motmon priesthood seek to control the convictions and actions of the church. They declare that in all domestic troubles, In business affairs and in the ordinary concerns of life, no step should be taken without conwltlng the watchers on the towers of ZIon. They havo their bishops' courts. In which disputes regarding titles or damages are adjudicated by appointed counselors, and the Saints are taught that In all relations they must have a little to do with the gentiles as possible. Their temples are not open to any but their own peel. In Salt Lake they have a Zlon's Rank, and Zion's co-operative stores are found in every town in Utah. George Q. Cannon, second president, and the brightest, smartest and richest Mormon, is in every money-making scheme, and ome of these schemes are colossal. It Is the rarest thing, and never when it can be avoided, that a Mormon Is found doing buslrew with a gentile. Perfect subjection to the church In all things is the foundation-stone of. its organization. Members go to their bishop for advice how to invest their funds, and, as before remarked, in almost every domestic or business affair. Antagonism to this mingling of secular 'and 'religious concerns, and to the principle it underlies of ecclesiastical domination. Is now about the only conflict the Mormons have to encounter. It was this, and noc hatred of polygamy, which drove them from Independence and Nauvoo. And it will be this. State or no State, whloh will drive them from Utah, Idaho and Arizona, unless they give up their politico-religious organization and be content, as the Josephlte f actio l If. to nourish on their Illble creed alone. Whether the. Mormons who made the recent unvictorlous fight hav the courase. th fortitude and the faith to continue the rtmrslc. In tho face of a determined tr.d rrtiuty purpose, regains to be seen.
