Luter on some of the same gentlemen went 1nto the wilds of Wyoming, und by their pluck, energy and moucy, wore soon able to show the existenco there of an oil field of marvelous promise. Not_satisfied, however, with anything short of absoluto proof, they purchased a boriug rig and trans- ported it by ox train, in_mid-winter, more than 100 miles from the Union Pagific rail way, and in twenty days after beginning work had an oil well, & spouter, throwing the oll above the top of aseventy-foot derrick. Then a socond rie was purchiased and other wells were bored, with like results, Menn*ime tue most eminent scientists both of this country and Great Britain wero em- ployed to exaimine the field, and innumerable tesis wore made ns to tho quality of the oil by noted American aud Kuropean chemists and oil refiners, Thus it was estavhshed, beyond doubt or question, that an oil ield exists in Wyoming, in quantity illimitable, and 1 quality superior toany yet discovered. But at this point these pionoers m- pelled to nalt, for they werc shut out from tho markets of the worla by their isolation id great distance from raiiway lives. hing was omitted, however, in tho suay of all questions besring unon tho solu- tion of the provlem: and in this, Onaha has alwuys been ontered ipal factor, It may b n as certain ihat tho future coatrol of this great oil field will be by and tirough the cre of aun orcanization strong enough to luy gipe-lines and orect and operate extensive refinere The writer holds and has always mamntaiaed, that Omuha is the objective pownt for the vipe- hines, ard the most advantageous location for tue refineries. Why{ Because the to pographiy of the country from the oil basins to Omatia, fcliowing the line of tho Swoot- water and Platt ve, discloses an almost i brok along which the cost of a pive-lino wouia b reduced to a mini mum: und Omaha, as the centro of trunk ilway lines radinting to and veaching all markots, occupies the place of vantago for refining and distributing the oils, But we must not cease to be on guard, nor 1ail to be up and doing, in the bolief that this enterpriso will ne 10 us with- out offort, ana simply by virtue of Rivais are on tho alert, 10 enormous benefits sure to couie 10 the locality selected as the distriut- ing point und standing ready to advance Iacge sums of money to securd it. Capital- §818 i a neighboring city arealready ledgzed 10 put a miilion dollars into any oreanization that will undertake to earry out the pipe lineand refiuory sebcme, making their aty tho objective point, and 1t is by’ no means tain that this would vot have been - fait accomvli toduy but for the fact that a few Omaha eitizens, not capitalists, bave held the Key to the treasuro house, This status cannot always be maintained, und it is bigh time for Omaha to wake up and put for:n some of her wonted active working power, 1o secure for herself the full fruition of this industry, more importasnt by fur 1o her growth' and commercial and wanufacturing ascendeney than ail other things now within her reach, Coneert of nc tion and the loosing of purse strings will savo this to us, if 1ot 0o lung deiuyed; but, if wo slumber long—mark the predicton—another and rival city, whose capitalists wro always bold and united for tue common ood, wiil win the prize. At lllh time about 1 00 claims of 160 acres each, or an area of 160,000 ael comprising the very choicest oil lands of the zone, em- bodying the Shoshone, Beaver, Rautlesnake and Seminole basios, ure peoled ud in tho hands of u trastee ana an advisory board of fivo members, for conveuience in handling for any_important. negotiation. Somo 300 or more of theso claims belong to citizens of Ornabo, and one member of the advisory board is u resident. I3ut these men are not capitalists and are not tinancially able to siger indulge In tho patriotic pieasure of holding this pum for Omaba. They have well nigh oxhausied their rosources in this work, und will soon be forced to join hands with Strangers unless somo substantial cn- agement be extended ut home, With the millions of idic and unproductive money in our bauks it woull seem that an enterpriso fruught with so mueh of good for this community should not be long delayed or dificult of uccomplishment; aud surely noue can doubt the result, if a few I our men of woalth would unite i 1ts inaugura- tion. The formulation and backing of the undertaking by this class, welland favoranly kuown in financial civelos, woula speodify nopularizo 1t at home and bring abundant capital 10 its support from abroac Al und more' that pipo hnes and refineries havo done for Cleveluna and other cit would be realized here vy scizing source of wealth and prosperity.

The rather unigue subjectof the lecture was the “Dio-No-Mores.” The term i* a sobriquet that was applied to a company of one of the volunteer rogiments in the civil war, and from it the speaker drew an iuter- esting picture of thoincidents attending those stirring times, Dr. Palmer introduced his subject by say- ine that the private soldicr was tho unsung hero of the war.
