DRIVEN OFF BY FARMERS.
Party of Surveyors Looking Af
ter oil Rights Banished from
Louisiana.
New Orleans, May 27. A mob of
armed farmers in Edgerly in Calcasieu
parish today drove out a mining lawyer
and an engineering party, some twenty
in number, who were surveying the
lands and who, it was reported were
preparing to obtain the mineral rights
on all homesteads in the parish. The
movement against the surveyors.which
has been gaining force for some days,
Is the result of the discovery of oil in
Calcasieu parish and the consequent
demand for land. la that region.
More oe farmers In Calcasieu are
homesteads than, have been entered 07
their present' nolaers.
Many of the holders, however, have
not yet completed their patents. This
gives an outsider a right to buy the
mineral rights of these lands by paying
cash. A demand was made on the Unit
ed States Land Office in . New Orleans
for a list of all the homesteads where
the patents have not been completed
This list being refused a party; set. out
from Texas composed of several engi
neers and backed by some twenty Cali
fornians, to make an examination and
survey of the homesteads in the par
ish. '
It was understood by the Calcasieu
farmers that this party was employed
by the Standard Oil Cohrpanw and U
was rumored rtKat: this company in
tended tdfeuy $p thfe mineral rights on
all homesteads. This rumor made a
great i deaY citeTaent When the
surveying -alrij eached; Buxton's
Creek, near 'Edgerly, Some of the lead
ers of the farmers rdde up and ordered
the surveyors at' once to, abandon their
work. There wsa disposition, to re

The engineering party declare that
they were not attempting t" deprive
any settler of hls'hbmestead, but only
to locate some United States land they
bad bought in that section.

and stamped the preacher as a bold
speakerand an original thinker.. The
address was delivered by Prof. P. P.
Claxton of the Stae Normal College,
and the many that heard it say that
was one of the finest speeches ever
made here. For nearly an hour and a
half the speaker held his audience In
closest attention. His subject was ea

and convincing, mariner. The musi

A Lamp Explosion Shakes Up
Things Personal Mention.
High Point, May 29. Yesterday af
ternoon about four o'clock the still
ness of the hour was broken by a tre
mendous report which shook the sur
rounding territory and brought people
from all direction to see what was up.
The explosion or whatever it was,
took place in the rear lot of Sapp's
Racket Store, on Main street Strange
to say no one has been found wbo
knows anything about it, more than
,they heard the noise. What occasion
ed the report is a deep mystery. Some
say a devilish boy set fire to an enor
mous cannon cracker. Others suggest
the possibility of some heavenly body,
while falling through space exploded
in this locality just before striking the
ground, leaving no fragments for veri
fication, while others speak of spooks
and the like. The police are now look
ing into the matter and some startling
discoveries are expected.

From 500 to 600 of Them
Each Day.
New York Sun.
Counterfeit cents are coming into the
United States Sub-treasury nowadays
with a rush. Apparently the counter
feiters are working over time, and all
the efforts of the United States Secret
Service men have not availed in locat
ing the plants from which the humble
little counterfeits are turned out More
bad cents arje now being received at the
sub-treasury for redemption than ever
befor in the history of the institution.
Between 500 and 600 of the bogus coins
are arriving daily. In April, of 373,
870 cents turned in, 13,108 were coun
terfeit The range of dates on the bad coins
covers practically all the years during;
which the small bronze cents have been.
Issued, and the metal of which . they
are made is becoming more and more
like that of the genuine cent1 Never
theless it is not the same and it-is the
dUretSnces in -color that most -easily
'gfves away the bad cents to the sub
treasury: money counters. The work
manship . upon the had coins, too, is
ietfcihi ; better and better; The die

The annual spring renovation at the
White House thas .ressed rapidly
during ithesbseacei Jtf the president's
party, andrnow remains nly for a
few finishing touches to be-(ajpiied to
have the mansion ready for-the -return
of the household. Every carpet has
tiing, window lace and draperies remoV
ting, window laces apd raperies remov
ed , and the upholstered furniture cloth
ed with its summer linen.
Fresh coats of white paint have been
applied to both the rear and front por
ticos, and the private corridor down
stars is also being retouched with the
painter's brush. This work is yet la
rrcress. but will be completed before
the President arrives. It is likely the
entire building will be repainted out
side, but as this work will be done
from swinging scaffolds and no ham-
merlng will De necessary, it uau. w
done at any time without annoyance to
the occupants of the White House.
The only repairs now in progress
that will not be completed within the
next few days are about the conserva
tory. The work there is rather on an
extensive scale and has made necessary ,
the removal of most of the potted
plants. These have been arranged about
the grounds in artiste groups, and form
an attractive addition to the shrubbery.
The constant use of water in the green
houses quickly rots the woodwork, and
much of this now being. Replaced.
