thoroughly refitted. Mr. Iitudley is well

A CoyernmontTeunraph.
Washington, D. C, Nov. t. A dozen
ambitious statesmen are coming to the
capital with bills in their pockets for
thu construction of government telegraph
lines. These systems of postal telegraphs
have been so successful in all the
European countries where they have been
tried that the argument in favor of the
bills w ill bo very strong. Of course,
with so much larger a country and popu
lation less dense, the tstablisoment of a
system of telegraphs here by the govern
ment would be in the nature of an ex
periment. The general idea, however, is
that the mail and Jclegraph might be so
combined that telegrams to or from points
not actually reached by the wires could
be transferred by mail for the interven
ing distance between telegraph station,
and the point of origin or destination.
The strong fight that will be made against
the system, however, will be in the fact
that it would add many thousands to the
lint of government employes, and bring
ui) the army of officeholders to 200,000
or perhaps 250,000, giving the party in
power a tremendous leaverage in a po
litical way. It seems quite probable that
when the advocates of the scheme come
to talk it over they may be able to con
tent themselves with some kind of an
interstate bill for control of the present
systems, something on the interstate com
merce bill plan.

prominent fanner, who was a witness
against Rainsbarger, was waylaid near
his home last night aud seriously it not
fatally wounded. His horse was killed

Oil Boring.
Palestine, Tex., November t. En
gineer Mavo sent in his report to the
directors Tuesday morning of operations
in boring the fourth reft oil well. 1 his
well has reached a depth of 80 feet, and
has reached a vein of water heavily im
pregnated 'with lubricating oil. Two
gallons were skimmed from the water.
Engineer Meyo is now using this oil on
the boring machinery just as it is taken
from the water, and he pronounces it
superior in all respects to any lubricating
he has tiied.
The Last Licenss Expired.
Cuba, Mo., November 7. This is the
last day of the legal sale of intoxicants
in Crawford county, as the license of the
, last saloon in the county expires to-day.
Many have come in to join the funeral
nrocession aud have taken their last drink
at the bar as mourners over the fall of
personal liberty. So the spirit of the
dying saloon departed by the way of
manv sympathising throts. They are
having a wake to night, and general good
! humor prevails.
Lumber Mills Closed.
Dcevqce, la., November 9. The lum
ber mills of this city shut down Saturday
night after a successful season. The en
tire cut of lumber of the four mills will
aggregate about 00,000,000 feet, being at
least 5,000,000 more than last year. The
stock of lumber cn hand is about the
same as last year 45,000,000 feet. The
mills were to have run longer but lortne
recent fires in the yards started by incen
diaries. The mill owners concluded it
was better to have their stock in logs
than in lumber, if they were to be burned
out.
