Show ; ' ! 1 I I 4 HIE SALT LAKE TIMES. THURSDAY APRIL 2. 1891. ) western country is peopled by veterans of the late war there is uo reason why Salt Lake should not be designated an a disbursing point for a pension agency. Now that tho secretary of tin; inteiior proposes to rearrange tho agencies this point should be urged on him. Khope Island hehi a state election yesterday but nobody knows how it re-sulted. Connecticut's election is still iu doubt, although it oceurred several month-sago- l'lain manhood suffrage as it is jn ajtieed in the wild and woolly west and tho plurality vote are, after all, the safest methods to pursue. Between De Moines, la., and San Frauciseo, there is no pensiou and agency. pensioner iu all the intervening1 stretch r.f 2(H)0 mile must bo assigned to the oae voiut or the other. As this eORING OIL AND GAS WELLS. How a Hole Is Drilled Into the Earth Thimnands or Feet In Depth. When a gas or oil well is located the first Htcp in to build over it a derrick, which is a frame from tiO to 90 feet high, built of 2 by 8 tiinlier m tho form of a equate pyramid. In tins is erected a "walking beam," or horizontal rocking nhaft, pivoted in the middle 211 feet long, one end of which is connected to the j crank shaft of th engine; to the other is misM'iided tbe "drill'' or boring tool, The drill "bit" consists of a steel chis--j el blade, obtuse but sharp, about. inch-- ! es wide, witli it Hhuft about 0 inches in diameter, about 6 feet long, weighing about 2"iU pmnuls. Tho lower or cutting part is of steel, the una ft in of iron. Tho "stem'' is of iron rod of the name size M the Kim ft of tho hit into which it is Here wed, and is U3 feet long imu weighs over 2.000 pounds. In tiie upper end of the stem is a rinrr by which tho whole is suspended by a 21 j inch liianill.v Djie. The drill is raised about 3 feet for a stroke, the weight being about 2,300 pounds, uud let fall on the rocks beneath. The number of btrikes average nbout 4 per minute, Tho hole is 8 inches in diameter at the Riart, and the drill chops its wr.y down as Lit" as possible soniei.mes from 100 to 2(0 feel,. When water r sand prevents lurmer progress iiycaviiig.it is neces-- ; eary to case the hob.' witli sections of iron tubing having an inside diameter of oj in bos, which are .screwed together and driven dowa to the bottom of the hide. Then a smaller drill, fii.ting the insidu of the casing, is again set to work as long as possible. When again obliged to stop the casing is withdrawn and a "reamer" widening tool is put down and tiie lower port ion of the bole is enlarged to 8 inches. Then the casing is again put down to tho bottom. In this way the work pro-gresses until tbo desired depth is reached. The drill U niadtt with horizontal notches throughout tho entire length, as it often happen that the bit of stem breaks while in the pole. In such cases o "grab hook" is slipped over the end of the broken piece, and in thin way re-- : covered. Tbe "sand pump," which is used to ' clean tho sand mid pulverized rock from tho hole, is simply a tubo twenty feet long and five inches in diameter, tht valve being un iron or copper ball four and one-hal- f inches in diameter. This tube is lot down, and wdien filled is drawn out. The sand pump is used about every five feet, mid a sample of tbe rock cut is put into bottles, numbered and labeled with number of feet and character of rock. L. A. Felter in Indiana Farmer, half the kuowledgo of American insti-tutions that it h:is of those of some potty power nearer home it would not have pursued the ridiculous course it has. As soon as the bravado has worked its effects at homo King llt'M-I'.kk- t will be anxious to resume rational relations with tho United States for of nil the nations Italy cau least afford to have the ill will of this country. It is howeer a pity the Fa v a re-call did not occur a month sooner. Wo believe congr-ea- which was then in session would have resented tho affront by passing a Ftringent. immigration bill which would have kept out the hordes that render such affairs as that at New Orleans ntid the consequences thereon forever impossible. THU ITALIAN HI I1UI.C, Secretary Blaine's letter to Marquis Imi'KKIAi.m serves the double purpose of a diplomatic note to Italy and an offi-cial statement of the trouble caused by the sudden recall of Baron Tav a to the people of the United States. So far as the Italian government is concerned it will propably pretead to be dissatistied with the explanation, just as it was dis-satisfied when the same explanation was made in person to its minister in Washington. On the other hand the people of the I'mted States will find in it one more evidence of the sagacity and dignity of Jamks G. Blaine. He treats the subject with a coolness and impar-tiality thai must confuse those who in nines pnsi nave taunted him wilh his aggressive, meaning dangerous, foreign policy. Without playing the bully and without denying to the Italian govern- ment any satisfaction it niight'be en-titled to, he still resents the manner of I)i:Ki dim in forcing the issue. Curious are the comments of the Eu-ropean press upon the trouble. The ;oosi MiiKing teature is the ignorance these foreigners display with regard to American affairs. When La whence Bakkett died a few days ago tho Paris papers all commented on him as a wo-man. One leading journal declared that while Mis$ Lawrence Bakkett was fully 53 years old at the time of her death she was so beautiful that she really looked nearer 30. I'oor Baic-hett- !

We can see absolutely nothing wrong or ridicu-lous, but considerable good in tho pro-ceeding which is but the response of outraged justice to a strong and indig-nant popular clamor. K.iilroad accidents in this country are of common occurence, more common perhaps than in nil the other countries of thu world combined. There may be some reason for this in tiie large area covered and to a limited etent also to the greater speed attained, but defec-tive equipment and gross carelessness are the main causes therefor. It happens nowhere else but in this country that bridges cm e in or trains collide, hurling annually an army of innocent people into eternity, without anybody doing punished for it. "No one to blame" is Iho stereotype verdict of the average coroner's jury in the wholesale 'luas-aer- Well, the people are tiring of this tragic comedy. They Udlieve, ami justly so, that somebody be i ('sponsible for rotten bridges, imilst ties, cheap tracks, or a drunken crew, and they naturally seie upon the managingdivectors. It was Ilf. Bit-I.e-who once said tho only way to avoid railroad accidents was to strap a greedy director to each cowcatcher. The New Yorkers iu the caso in view may be totally innocent of any connec-tion, direct or indirect, with the deadly tunnel accident last month, but it may prove a wholesome lesson to them and others in tho future thr.t they will he held to a stricter accountability, and that the proverbial verdict, "no one to blame," will no longer hold good. The attempts of tho last few days to make up for tho lack of sleighing dur-- ; ing the winter, were more heroic than wise. In this climafe spring is a well marked reason and begins usually at schedule time, which is March L'Ut. . I. J. li. (JuiNMi.i. of Iowa is! dead. A town in that state bearing his name will be remembered long after its founder for one of the most dostruct- - ive tornadoes that ever occurred in th s country. An Amusing Scene In Court. One of tho most amusing yet unex-pected sensation scenes ever witnessed in a theatre orrurrcd at the Theatre Iioyal, Manchester. The curtain drew un for Mr, Toole to address the court in re Rirdell vs. Pickwick, when the whole of tiie iurv mysteriously disappeared. their "box"' suddenly giving way,aud ingulfing the "good men and true." At first the vast audience who crowded STery part of the theatre were silent, fearing some dreadful accident had oc-curred, but as the unlucky jurymen rapidly reappeared, unhurt, though look-ing very foolish, they broke out into n perfect hurricane af laughter, which lasted several minutes. Tbe curtaia bail to le dropped to allow tbe jury to be "boxed" again, and when Mr. Toole began his address he provoked another burst of risibility by alluding to the jury as "that worthy body of stead-fa- rt and immovable men." A peculiarly amusing feature of this novel scene was tho fact that, tho minr. ity of the "jury" were stage carpenters, whose duty it was to erect the "court,'' and they suffered in this case for their own carelessness.

Two orlliivo vc( ks ago Ihreo young men. each having over $.!,(;00 in ca -- li, h ft I'itt.-bur- for Africa to explore. About it dozen letters huvo been re-ceived from buys referring to tin's inci-dent and asking fur advice or informa-tion. 1 lad tho three young men set out for an idiot iisylum, calculating to nsk to bo taken in and cared for during tle r. luainder of their lives, they would have exhibited more common sense. Afriva is not a country where every Tom, Dick arid Harry can go roaming about at will. All tho seaports are in the, bands of Egyptians, Moors, French, Germans or English. Any one has a legal right to land, but not every ono has a legal right to fo gallivanting around tbe conntry. Stanley had to have the backing of two government:) to enable him to do eo. A correspondent of Tbo New York World was threatened with arrest if ho went beyond certain boundaries. A young man who has no better sense than to set out on such an expedition ought to have a guardian, and that guardian ought to havo legal permission to tan his jacket ten time's a day. M Quad iu Detroit Free Fress. I'.idinj; the Wooden Ilorito. Torture on a grand wale wont out with Felton, the assassin of Bucking-ham- , but torture on a small scale con-tinn-to bo practiced on military of-fenders down to the Eighteenth century. The form most frequently resorted to was that known as the wooden horse, to ride which was the punishment accorded for petty thefts, insubordination, and so on. Tho wooden horse was made of planks nailed together so as to form a sharp ridge or angle about eight or nina feet long. This ridge represented the back of the horse, and was supported by four posts or legs about five feet high, til, iced on a sriirwl imrl., nnnl.U l... truckles. To complete tho resemblance with the noblest animal in creation a head and tail were added. When a soldier was sentenced, either by court martial or by his commanding officer, to ride the horse, ho was placed on the brute's back, with his hands tied behind him, and frequently enough, in order to increase the pain, muskets were listened to his legs to weigh them down or, as was jocularly said, to prevent the fiery, untamed, barebacked steed from j kicking him off. London Graphic Kccpliij Strict Account with tha C.irls. There is a young man in this city an well known in business circles as he is to a largo number of young Indies, In his business ho is quiet, regular and in- - diiNtrious, and particularly prides him-self upon tbe neatness and accuracy which characterize his books of account. During the social season he ilits about from entertainment to entertainment, frequently attending the opera and play-houses, always having with him soma one of about a score of girls to whom he pays more or less attention. Whop asked recently why he had so many girls he said: "Oh! all girls talk, as they write, very much alike, but utill there is more va-riety in twenty than in one. Besides, I keep a regular set of books at home in which I enter every cent I spend on them, nnd it affords mo considerable amuse-ment. For instance, I charge cost of theatre tickets, flowers, supper and car-riage hire, and then credit it with the amount of pleasure I hal. as, 'passable time,' 'Enjoyed tho' evening hugely,' etc. The girls who afford me the most enjoy-ment receive the greater number of in-vitations, so I think I may fairly say that I seek relaxation and pleasure in the same wsy that I attend to my business on system." Philadelphia Tress, Dit. Siikadv, the eminent Ner York specialist, says in tho Morning Journal, la grippe is not a contagious disease. "VMinI!" Ui f auiiiui..r..u.1 iu tue j cpiiiemic just now, it is not so prevalent as last year. Tbe public has no reason to bo alarmed. The disease will disappear with the first appearance of warm and settled weather. Atmospheric changes have much to do withathe continuance or the abatement of this disease. The symptoms, sneezing, great depression and headache, are well known, and are inseparable from tho disease. He advises any one, when tirst attacked, to consult a physician, and thus avoid more serious consequences. No line of treatment can he laid dowu. Each case requires special treatment, and tho person attacked must take more than ordinary care of himself or herself. Tho disease, while in no way fatal, can-not be neglected with impunity. The epidemic of 1SJ7 was a serious one, and has never been equaled, except by the epidemic of December a year ago. During the former epidemic hundreds of rases were fatal. Thoso cases of the grip which havo proved fatal latterly have been con- - plicated with other diseases of the res-piratory organs, such as a serious bron-chial or lung trouble. Tho grip, if not cared for and the proper remedies em-ployed, may, in a number of cases, de-velop into pneumonia. One chief rea-son so much has been written about the grip is due to the large death rate of the past few weeks, uud the large num-ber of deaths from pneumonia. The prevalence of the disease ne.nl not, however, cause the slightest alarm and he hopes to see it disappear as soon as April showers arrive. ATTKM) THE MEKTINQ. The joint meeting of the exchanges for tho purpose of considering what ac-tion shall be taken in referenco to tho proposed World'a fair mine will bo held tomorrow evening;. TiiF. Timk.h hopes that there will be a large attend-ance. If the members are alive to tho importance of the mining industry they will certainly demonstrate the fact on this occasion. There are two main branches of hu-man occupation; one is that of tilling tho soil, and its associated industries; the other is that of mining, with the network of interests arising from and dependent upon it. Neither can be stricken down, and neither can claim to be of greater importance than the other. It is proposed that, in the great exposition whero tho nations will meet iu a display of the triumphs of peace, there shall bo a complete exhibition of the processes, appliances and products rf Iho business of mining an exhibit that shall bo coiniiieu- - urate with the magnitude of the industry, and that shall place the miner's occupation in a proper light be-fore the minds of visitors. Tho people of a territory that is for its mineral wealth caunot aGord to hold back from taking part in such an enter-prise. They cannot atford to miss the opportunity to put their own section in a commanding position in relatiou to tho subject. For these reasons Tiik Times expects to see a large attendance at tho meeting tomorrow evening; and it also hopes to see a manifestation of the liveliest in-terest in the subject. Elsewhere in this issue appears an extract from au inter-view with Colouel BuoWNK, theaorigin-ato- r of tho project. It shows that tho-- e who have become interested in the mat-ter are more and more confident of the success of the undertaking; while there can be no question of the benelit that will accrue to the mining business from tho proposed exhibit.. Everything points to the conclusion that the people of Salt Lake should take action in the matter, and that this action should bo taken cow. Wlio Will T.e tho Next I'opp It is stated that tbo French and Span-ish cardinals are concerting for tho nom-ination of Cardinal J'igliar.t as tho suc-cessor to Le0 XIII. Tho general feeling is that I'.t tbe next conclave the eb'ction of u foreign popo is impracticable, tho only avaihiblo non-Italia- members of tho Sacred College lieing the Swiss Car-dinal Mormillod.and tho American Car-dinal Gibbons. It is not likely, how-ever, that either of these will emergo a.3 the successor of Leo XIII, Tho nomination of Cardinal Zigliara, who is a Dominican monk, i:( not alto-gether unlikely. Ho is a native of Cor- - sica, but, strange to say, ho bwik out let- - tors of naturalization as a subject of the states, lie is a man of great learning au.l quite outside all no-- litical questions. I havo reason to be-- liuve that if tbo popo died Cardinal Zigliara would be sure of near-ly forty votes. His only opponents would be tbo Jesuits, whose nominee is Cardi-nal Monaco la Valetta.

It is gratifying to observe that the business men of Iloston aro to make an active effort to secure quicker time by rail between, this city and Xew York. The members of tho Kxecntivo R'.siness association have discussed he question, and bavocomo to tbe very sen-- I fciblo conclusion that the public interests of the city demand a better service, ami that such a service can be secured "without prejudice to the interests of flio railroads connectin.tr the two cities." No one who has studied tho rendition involved, and who knows of how much tho modern railway is capable, will doubt this. A new lino would probably not bn a profitable enterprise, but it is within tho power of tho existing lines to reduce tho time of the journey by exp-e-ss trains from six hours to five, and there is no sufficient reason for delaying to do so.
