1t has been resolved by the guardians of
the South Dublin Union that the prosecu-
tion of subisct named Glynn for non
compliance with the compulsory vsccina-
ton acts shall be proceeded with, in &C.
cordance with the suggestion of the local
governing board. This board had declared
that any speculations which might be in
dulged in as to the character of the report
of the Royal Commission on Vaccination
had no practical bearing upon the power
of the guardians. 1t was pointed out that
the evidence as to the protection afforded
by vaccination against death or blindness
or Disagreement arising from smallpox
was to the vast majority of persons who
have studied the subject, simply over
whslming; and that, in the case of any in

Southeastern Kansas is coming into
prominence as an oil-producIng territory.
Two years ago prospsctor began to drill
for gas near Neodeshs, in Wilson county,
which lie some fifty miles north of the In
dian Territory line, and at q depth of $40
feet he struck oil Great possibilities
opening up before him, 5000 acres of land
were leased in the vicinity, and he sank
other wells. One of them, known as the
De Noes, spouted oil go prodIgslly that to
keep 1t from wasting the pumps are
worked night and day. The prospector
theK went to Pittsburgh with a barrel of
the product, for the purpose of interest
ing capitalists, and his sample pleased
them 60 much thst they invested large
sums of money in the Kansas territory.
To-day they have 400, 200 acres of land
under lease, and have drilled wells at
Peru, Chautauqua, Fredonis, Thsyer, and
other places. They have also extended
their operations into Linn, Neosho, and
Allen counties. Around Neodeshs alone
they have spent 5000, 900. They are now
building tanks, and intend to put up re-
hneries. The Kansas wells will probably
never be as productive as were those of
Bradford, Pennsylvania, nor does the
crude Neodeshs product give as much oil,
but the wells are superior to the Lima,
Ohio, wells, both in quality and in guam
tity.
