Even ns It progresses , guaranteeing liberty to Its hnrdv , Industrious nnd wealthy sons , so live in the memory of that grateful people the fathers of thntr freedom , prosperity and poice , Walter Furst von Attinghauson , Werner , Stnufucher and Arnold von Melon- thai. thai.At At this tlmo is their nnmo nnd deeds especially recalled , because on the 1st of this month it is customary to celebintn the anniversary of the creation ot the republic. For 000 years this annual recurrence - curronco has been gratefully observed , though today has been selected by the Swltiors of Omaha to commemorate the event In a demonstrative manner. In this city there is n colony of hardy sons of Helvetia , patient , Industrious , frugal , law- abiding and prosperous. They have an organization known as the Scnwcitzur vcroiti which comprises about sixty members. It has been in existence fern n tiumnur of years. Its brilliant crimson ling , wltu a largo white square cross in the middle , tins been a familiar feature in many a local procession , and Invariably linds a dis- tinguislu'd pUce in all general celebrations among the colors of oilier nations beyond tno sen. The ofllccrs cf the society are ns fol lows : President , A. Cujoro ; vice president , L. Pilstcr ; secretary , Krnost Meyer ; treasurer , F. L. . Luchsingsr.

Among those which have consented nro the following : The Arion , the Concordin. thoLicdornranz , thoSchwuben voroln , the Mnoiincrelior , the turners , the Schutzou voroin nnd the 1'latt- doutschor verein. All of these societies have singing sections connected with them nnd will take turns In enlivening the gathering with songs peculiar to their respectlvo parts nf the fatherland. The celebration will not commence until about S o'clock , though previous to It there will bo a grand parade , in which all the so- cloties above mentioned will take part.

Ijnko of Oil .struck nt a Drptli of 1'JOO Kocl In Olili ) . A dispatch from St. Mm-y's O. , says : Ohio hns the big-jest oil well in the United Stntes , if not in the world , und if purmittod to How its full capacity it would moro than fill two of the monster 35,000 barrel tiinlzs every twenty-four hours. This tfreut oil goysur is located in Hifinioclc county , just four miles bOuth of the town of North Baltimore. To bo moro explicit , it is located on the south east corner of tlio Hugh McMurriiy farm , in Allen township , nnd is tlio property of the Ohio oil company. The well has just been drilled in , nnd when nt n. donth of thirtv- Ilvo feet in tlio sand n , yus pocket was struck , and the well showed for a gas producer of about 1- , 2oO,000 cubic feotcapucity. Gas was not what was wanted , however , and thedrill was sent eight feet deeper , which mnuo u totul depth in the sand of forty-throe foot , whore oil was found. The total depth of the well is 1,208 foot. When the pool was struck the oil btnrtod Hewing - ing , and ti connection was miulo through a two-inch line from the casing head to the GOO barrel tank which was filled with good , clean oil in precisely ninety min utes. The company then learned thut they hud drilled into a wonderful hilco of oil , and it was also discovered thnt ordi nary tankage facilities wore far from sulllciont. and work was nt once begun on another 000 barrel tank. At tha same time t > ovorul dinkey pumps were started , and pipe lines wore laid , while connections were being iimdo to the main lino. On the afternoon of the same flay it was decided to take the tools from the hole , and thousands of people having hoard of the gusher , Hocked in from all directions to see the famous goysnr opened up. At about ! i o'clock the engine wns started und the tools wore gradually being brought to the surface. The drillers were being drenched with oil , which flowed all over the derrick. When tlio tools were u few hundred feet from the surface the rope commenced to shicu , and the drill ers , nl'tor reversing their engine , made for u place of safety , us the tools were being lifted from the well by the hosivy nrnssuro of the oil. It was tlionirlit at the time that the rope had broken and tlio tools left in the hole , but thu drill was found setting bo iao the casing in the rig. As soon as the Idols wore out a solid column of oil belched forth from the casing hand , rising fur above the derrick , where it spread in till direc tions. There were two two-inch lines connect7d on the casing. It made us beautiful a sight as anyone wished lo see , and it thrilled thu hearts of the oil men , who witnessed the sight , witli delight , to know tlmt they had looked upon what was probably the largest oil well over completed on the globo. An otTort wns made to shut the well in.urn ! eight tnon worked for nearly two hours until they succeeded in get ting the well under control. Afterwards it wua turned into a 000-bnrrel tank through u two-inch line , running the tank over with roily oil in sixtythreo minutes. The well ut the rate it flowed through the casing for tlio space of time it was opened would , in twenty-four hours , produce u good 70,000 barrels of roily oil , making nearly double the size of any well over completed , not barring tlio wonderful Russian wells. The Ohio oil ( loldn now leads nil in the shape of u phonomonnl geyser of oil equal to u volcano. Some sevorul months ngo a cable was sent out from liussiu , stating that a well with a capacity of 100,000 barrels u day hud been opened up in the IJnku Held of Kussia. There was a mistake-In the report , us it was claimed by oyo-witnessea to bo good for 10.000 barrels. 1'liospliorcneoiico of Go HIM.

It wai onlv after it struggle of twenty-six years that Vermont MKTeeded in so firmly establishing her imiopciidcnuo thnt cot.nross was comncllcd to vote her ndmKslon us the first stuto received after the formation of the union. This struggle , n remarkable one from any nolnt of vew ; , .says the New York Tlmo * , and ono which Inn never been paralleled in the history of this country , was the jrinripal reason that there wem no't fourteen original states Instead of but thirteen. It is also con- eeded that if the Vermont mun tia.l not n't * trenched themselves In their mountains and resolutely whipped everybody who tried to Hi-izo it from thoin , there would have been no state. Vermont hns always hcon progressive but cautious , with leaders audacious and bold , but so skillful that thov Insnired all wnn mummed commence in every move. From the very llrst the events In connection with Vermont have been out of thn ordinary groove. Tlio country now embraced by the state boundaries was part of that chnnicd t > y Jacques Cartier for the Itmg of Franco as earlv as liij : } , but Uartler never had the felicity of visiting this portion of the king's new possessions , and it was left for Samuel duCliuinpliiln , lieutenant governor of Now France , to bo the lirst white man to see Ver mont. Ho gave Vermont a bloody baptism , and if , Instead of lighting the IroquoU on tlmt July day In 100' ) . whou ho sailed down ttiu lake now bearing his name , Iho French * hmi Itiniln tnoml * of Ihpin nn ono can tell what would have been the situation on this continent to day. Cbainplnlii had not the good fortune to bo beaten , and when ho proceeded to de molish the redskins they ( led in fear , leaving him a victor. Ho Vermont's history began with a IlL'ht , and from that tlmo for nearly two hundred your * thn soil has been dyed in blood. The French and Indian expeditions against the English settlements in Ntnv York , Massachusetts and New II.iuip-.li ire were made by way of Vermont , and it is sup posed thnt over the very road before the house where J write the descent was made on Deerlield , Mass. , in 1701. In 17M : Massachusetts built Fort Dummer in the southeast corner of the state , near what is now Brattloborough. In IT.'H the French built military posts , Jirsi at AddUon , Vt. , and then at Crown Point. The wai-3 to- ! lowing prevented any further settlements for In July. 1701 , the kin ? decided that the western bairn of the Connecticut river was to bo the eastern boundary of New York. Lieutenant Governor Colden of New York at once issued a proclamation notifying all hii majesty's subjects "to conform thereto and govern themselves accordingly , " and pro ceeded to issue- grants of the land previously granted by Governor Wcntwortn of New Hampshire to New York speculators , who wore his own favorites and supporters. The Vermont people were in a tight place. Their towns hail uon granted anew mid .surveys were ordered by Golden. Hut the Vermonters - monters construed the king's order to moan that thereafter the boundary was to be , as he had ordered , at iho Connecticut , and that accordingly Now York should not nmlost the New Humpsliiiv grantees. BtltColdon inadn a different construction , claiming tuat the th.if boundary lt . of Now York always had been nt Delegates sent to New York city could o' ' > - tiiln no redress , but botom Colden could authenticate his patents , owlnir to the stamp having been talcon froi-i him by the New York mob , ho was succeeded by Sir Henry Moore , who Issuoil patents with moro regard for the rights of Now Hiuupshlrograntcoj. Owing , however , to the still existing danger. Suinuel Kubinson was sent by lienningtoii to England , nml ho prevailed upon the ICing to forbid tlu > governor of Now York to make any further granU in the disputed territory. The reprimands accomp.inying this order discouraged the old claimants , and as Moore obeyed the king's orders , the Vermont people enjoyed comp.irativo quiet. This was disturbed two years later when on the death of Moore in 170 ! ) Colden again came into power. It was his llrst busi ness to allege thut Mnoro had misunderstood the king's ' onlors , after which ho went to granting patents again , whereupon his former triends , who had received iho first lot of patents , nnnmenced petitions of ejectment ooforo the court ut Albany. Judgments were secured against two farms , those of John Hreckcnringe mid Josiah Fuller. Then iho sheriff of Albany , and the mayorand council , and . " 0(1 ( good men. marched out to lirnning- ton to possess themselves of those farms. The Now York authorities attempted to en force their elainn. with some success , by ap pointing residents of the grants to peace of- llces , but the Green Mountain Hoys sealed their commissions with the "beech seal , " which meant thnt the offender was to re- ccivo an application of blue beech rods and that ho was to bo sent out of town with or- dms not to return. The Green Mountain Boy.i literally settled down to a policy of whipping the Intruder * out of thu state. Un one Oceanian Lr. ) Samuel Adams criticized some actions of tbo Green Mountain ilooys too freely , whereupon ho was hoisted up beside - side the gi inning catamount at the Hcnninc- ton tavern. In the course of ttio two hours in which the vlllngo enjoyed the spectacle Ad'nns ' had plenty of timeto cultivate his Now York sympathies. Uthan Allen at this time became thn hereof of the state. Ho continually appealed to the popular sympathy uy his daring deeds. Ills told of him that , hearing of n reward of i"'o for his capture , Allen wagered that he would riilu to Albany , drink a bowl of punch , and return unharmed. This lie did in the middlii of ttio day , although the sheriff was in town nt til A f tlm * In 1771 , for various reasons , Allen and his most prominent lieutenants were declared outlawed ami heavy rewards wore olfeiod for their arrest. Things became serious. lUit greater events wore pending , and , though not in the centers of organized opposition to Kngllsh despotism , the cnuso of the granteoi became moro closely identified with these of the colonists. Then came an ovent-tlial stirred the Vermont men to the highest pitch. The state did not reeogni/o Now York's right to govern , and ntYost - mln'sturan ' attempt was made to prevent court being hold when criminal proceedings against thu Grncn Mountain Inys ! were to lie expected. Through treacherous insurances the settlers weio lured to the court house without arms. In the morning the supporters of the orown Ihvd upon them and two men were fatally wounded. They were thrown Into damp cells and loft to die. The people's party milled , cTectod ( tlio capture of the jndgos , and rescued their own men , but just in time to hoar the last word of William French , who had been fatally wounded the previous night , French's death wai dramatic- In the extreme. It fired tha people to the highest pitch , unit was never forgotten In tlio struggle against the crown. Then came the revolution , and Vermont plunged Into It , but Now York clung to thu grants o'von through thn tllRti'iintlfma nt thn rm'nlntfnti. Previous to the declaration of the Independ ence of.tho colonies , Vermont , owning no nllo- glance to any other state , hud conducted iu alia Irs through n rominittco consisting of members upjralntod by ouch town , although there was no organized central government. Now the state saw the frailty of the bond uniting the various settlements and the ne cessity lor a complete organization. In the fall of 1775 the grantees sent to congress at Philadelphia requesting instructions us to the best course to tia pursued. Meantime Now York reprcsontnd the grantees us Insur gents , and nullified nil efforts on their part to secure independent recognition. In Janu ary , 1777 , Iho hidcpoadentu of the Now HntrpsulroTrmiLi w.-w proclaimed by n con vention at U stminster and the name of Vermont ti < * uMod , Vermont wTi * attached to the cnuiooftho people , bu' . slio ' could not help seeing thnt every stop rfho'look to support that catno only rendered If more hopeless. Some differ ence of opinion ,1ms , existed n1 ? to the correct ness of the cikrrso pursued , and Illhan Allen , Ir.i Allen jmrt Governor Chlttenden hnvo boon ilanounoVrf for their negotiations with Uro.it Ilrltnlli , .but looked nt today , when diplomacy It.ii become so important , there can bo only hdmiration nt Iho consummate skill with wM 'h Great Britain was made to believe In VcnAont's ' desire to become her dopondeneyj , Wl\llo \ Vermont was strengthen ing her.folr , securing Immunity from attack for herself itnlf1 also for New York. This U ono of the most interesting links of the chain or event * that led , eleven yo.irs later , lo her admission ns u state. It is unique In tne history not only of this state , but in that nf the United States. The Hrilish had been led to ocllnvu thattlio disputes over Vermont might uo turned to their credit. Thu forces of the United States bad boon withdrawn from Vermont , as the council of that state believed , for the express purpose of making them .seek Mew Yoik's protection , nnd they therefore determined to effect by diplomacy what could not otherwise uo done. Ira Allen mmmgcd these negotiations , ami with sut'li uoiiHuimnnto skill that , without the slightest Idea of aercdlng to Ilrltish over tures , ho succeeded in keeping an iirmy of 10,000 of thoenemv inactive ( in the frontier. Vermont from that time censed to suffer. Until the close of the war , while the leading moti hi thn titittf , u'l'ni f\4 llritl frtrnil * nf American Indnpondrnco n.s nnv on the con tinent , thn Knglish continued their attempts to persuade thorn to abandon iho American cause nnd declare ttiostato a DrltUh province They regarded Now York as oven a greater tyrant than Eneland , but they had no Inten tion of su ! > mit ing to either. Theto negotia tions served not only to protect Vermont , but they protected the United States for about three years from the invasion of a powerful British army. The correspondence was carried on after " the closn of" the war nnd almost up to the time of Vermont's admission to the union In 171)1 ) , for the United States gave evi dence of nn intention to assist New York by force of arms to enforce her iLlhn % tn Vnnmntif. Thn nnii'nanmntmii i > was mnlntninoJ for tlio purpose of securing British aid if thu necessity arose. Finally , alter the actual .stress of war was endedVer mont tound that she had no reason to urco admission to the union. The union appeared to bo but temporary , and the states were laboring under a hopeless debt , Vermont was free ; she owed allegiance to no ono ; she was unencumbered by dubt nnd crowing in wealth ntid population. And so fur eight years its people tinned their nttcntion to their own afTairs. A minor coinage was es tablished and a mint was set up. Postal routes and a po.tofllce department were or ganized and \Vr.Mont became thoroughly es tablished. The internal disputes over land boundaries were a source of trouble to tlio authorities , but thov carried out the policy that senined most likely to bo just , nnd the people had to abide ny it , Nmv York finally bccjmo disposed to favor Vermont'entrarce to the Union , owing to the need of eastern representation In con gress and a determined effort was made to settle the old -dinicultie-i. Commissioners were accordingly appointed by both states , who agreed that on the payment , by Vermont of ? . ( ) , ) ) ( ) to New York to" reimburse claim ants under grants from the latter state , New York would withdraw all claim to Vermont lands and consent to her admission to the union. Vermont .igrced ' to this. Tlio money was collected nnu'brought , to Rutland , and the house still stands whrro the indemnity was inken to be pud to Now York. Then the United States."February 1 ! ? , 1701 , passed nn act declaring "that on March 4 , 17')1 ) , the said state l > v Iho miniT and style of 'the ' now state union as a new and entire member of tlio United States of Ameiica.

Every tourist crossing the continent will sco Denver either going or re turning , for it is the gateway to the grandest scenery on the AtiMrlcan continent , and If thu tourist takes in the "Switzerland of America" ho will have to tako.ni 1 Jen vor too. In the matter of an"isomcnt.s Denver Is n great many lengths nhc.id of Omaha , nnd when I toll you that at the present time ther are two summer theaters in full blast , within a radius of lU'o miles from the busi ness center , at both of which two passably good performances of light opera are given daily to laigo audience * , you will agree with me that Denver is nn nmusomoiit-loving city. J. E. Sackctt , who with Lawler opened the Eden Museo in Omaha several years aso , and who , If not at all times practical , Is n man of great energy and inirenuity , lias just put into operation n Blupondous amusement enterprise nt Sloan's lake , situated about ilvo miles northwest of the city , which ho hus christened with the metropolitan name of Manhattan Beach , Snckctt has induced n company of Denver uipitalists to invest something like $ li > 0,0)0 ( ) on the spot , and with it ho has built a vast summer theater , perfect In nil its appoint ments , n large modern boat house , three or four pavllllons , bath houses , a monster mennsrerie filled with a line collection of ani mals , and a hundred and ono other things which only the brain of a natural born show man of Sackett's stamp could dovUe. Last Sunday I wont out to Man hattan lieach about 4 o'clock in thu afternoon. Iho programme announced was u matinee performance cf the opera of "OlivotRi , " and a U.illojn inclusion by Prof. King , accompanied by nsonbrotto ot the opera company. Of course there was the additional attraction of good boating , bathing und fishing , and of hearing an open air concert by a good band. Well , by actual count there v/iiro considerably moru than twelve thousand people within the enclosure of Manhattan Beach , and I didn't sou a single disturbance or u person under the in- lluenco of liquor. Hero Is onu thing I no ticed which may have Induced a givat muny to go to Manhattan : Every event which Sackclt put into ins programme transpire 1 , nnd transpired just as ho said it would , lie has won thu confidence of Ins patron- ! , which is worth n great deal of monoy. 1 don't ' see how Saokott can mis * n .success. i wisn .lonany uonoriy coui.i so" wn.it a great o . Manha.t n lie ; eh is , even with the strouir opposition of Elitch's zoological gardens , and I know hj would kick himself or some of tha pigheaded members of the Omnhn street railway com pany because ho didn't got his proposed re sort on Cut-Off l.iker'ndfor this season. The last coreniinoi t ccnsui ' 'live Denver 180,000 population , which is IS OM loss than Omaha has , yet tno former supports two monster amusement enterprises during the entire summer , while Oma'ia cannot even got ono.Mtnrtod alter the money has all been sub- scribed. I have heard n great many Omaha people say Unit U would bo suicide for any body to start u summer resort in or near Omaha and not sell beer In It. You cannot KOI n drop of any intoxicant at any of the Denver summer resorts. They won't oven serve it with meals. Another of Denver's places of amusement is the Tabor Grand opera house , which is ucT knowledgcd by the profession to bo ono of the beat paying pieces 01 theatrical property in the country. Thu house's regular season cloied just two weeks ago , nnd Manager Pete Q . McCourt told mo that the not profits of the " houbo for the season just closed closely np- prouchpu $ .W.lKi ) ) . There arc several reasons for this state of affairs. In the first place the Tabor opera house is the old established house hero , is centrally located , well appointed - ed , and McCourt , its manager , is very popular - a lar , both with the Denver people and the pro- fossion. But perhaps the prime reason for the great success of the house is that D.MI - vor people are great theater goers , und aside from the transient patronage would supper t n theater well. Slandlnir in the lobby of the Tabor opera u house four or Ilvo years ago just before the curtain rose on "Jim , tlio Pen man , " a prominent. D'jnver gentleman point- cd out to nn ) at least u dozen women in opera capes whom ho said were Denver sor- 3 yant girls , and in almost every instance they 3a bought first-class sittings. For an aristocracy - 3a racy of domestics , coninnmd HID to Denver ! a My same friend told mo that the man who was sitting directly in front of mo was ono of 31 the silver Kings of Colorado , and also iai- parted the startling Information that Mr. a Bonanza could not read. Ho was holding Iho play bill In front of him Just us a blind. is isH Still there ho was , in a full evening dress of isQ the latest cut , occupying a front seat at a swell performance , and I noticed that after Q the performance ho was shown us much dis- Unction us if ho were a man who possessed all thu brains , nccomplislimont.i nnd refine- incuts of a perfect euntlonmn. The dollar mark ( ? ) determines quality in Denver a society. Only two of the streets of Denver were a invod , nnd they were p-wod Just recently. The town formerly boasted that it hadn't a o paved street and didn't need any. But whllu the mud wasn't very deep , it was vevv disa & grceablo. and the dust was simply unboar- nijle. Then usain within the pa t few years ElB the streets of Denver hnvo been put in un- Ela fnvorabln contrast with these of Om ilia and Kansas City , ami now the city government 83 has decided to pave all stroou and alloys. The vorr honorable gonttnman , Bnrbur Asplmlluiii Sijuiros is huro , and has sue- ecedcd in gutting himself disliked. Colonel John Arklns , editor of the Uocky Mountain 19 Nmir-i i vttn nfl hninn nf Snlilro.s1 hnsinn.ss methoun in Omaha in connection with street El paving in the editorial columns of his paper ElEl Thursday , mid him El gave some pur- Ela sonnl mention bosldoj for which Q I will gamble the Omaha gentleman did not pay for nt the regular counting room rnto per 0 line. 0m John A. McShnno was hero last week , nnd 0 told some Denver pnrUo.s thut ho had about made up his mind to build n hotei on his property at the southwest corner of Flf- teenth und Hnrnoy streets. If he does it will a uoubtluss bo moilolcil nfter nnd run on the a snmo plan as tbo Hitol Mutropolo hero that Is , very swell ; rates $11.00 per day unit down a Oil' , I havon't Hoard very much talk hero about a thu coming of the Grantsmelter fiom Omaha. Of course It 1s bolng agltatod by n few lucon- 39 sciiuuntlal real estate boomers , In about tha 39a sauio manner thnt Tun BKI'S : propoiod ex cursion of Omaha business men to Montana to ( was agitated by the board of trade. Denver Is a pretty city , her streets and toH hotels filled with strangers , Is thu center of u large mining nnd railroad interests , and ns a H pldisuro resort stands pro-oniliiunt , Whllo H nor people generally are not ns metropolitan as. iu many other western cities , they have Ii made their money quickly , spend It Ilburally. arc great lovers of amusements , try to live M high , nnd are hospitable.
