Last week the Window Reporter
completed it's oath year. The paper
was established in 1871 by it's pres
ent able editor and proprietor, Eb.
Huntington, then tow-headed kid.
Bro. Huntington is familiar with all
the ups and downs of frontier journal
ism; but in all the years he has guild
ed the Reporter he has kept the craft
clear of the shoals upon which so
many country papers founder and
die. To-day the Reporter can boast
of one of the best Offices in the state
out side Of the cities, also fine brick
block, fine home and bank stock
galore. Old Eb., after nearly a quar-
ter of century Of hard work in the
newspaper treadmill isn't SO deucedly
homely and knee-sprung as one
would expect to see him, but he's
all ight-handsome as picture, and
apparently good for another "a years
of good work. No country paper in
the state is more widely copied
than is the Window Reporter; no
higher compliment can be paid any
paper. Long live the Reporter and
its brainy, genial editor

The above is the official log at the
prospect well as given out by Assistant
City Engineer Jackman-
The oil that is found is not petroleum
but what is known as soapstone oil,
is Of no particular value being very
light, and can plainly be seen by any
one visiting the we'll AS il Is pumped
from the shaft It rises to the top and
remains in clear view. After seventy
five feet there was discovered no more
signs Of gypsum and the dread felt
by the operators of encountering a bed
of gypsum, which would have demand
ed tubing was thus luckily Obviated,
and tubing will not be needed unless
strata Of sand is reached in which
the sides VIII not hold.
In case a strata is reached that will
require tubing the size of the drill will
be changed and a smaller one used.
The drill used at the present time is
10aa inches in diameter. To the point
where the subteranean river is reached
shafting 4X6 feet is built and walled
with heavy Pinch plank. At this point
the heavy iron tubing extends two feet
above the bottom of the shaft.
The drills are operated until four
feet OF loose dirt or stone has been bro
ken loose, which is then drawn from
the well by means of sand buckets
which have a valve in the bottom, al
lowing the debris to flow into the buck
ct but when the bucket is raised the
valve closes and the diggings are pre-
vented from leaving the bucket This
process is kept up until the shaft is
perfectly clear. So thoroughly has
the water been shut out by the tubing
that it is now necessary to pour water
into the shaft TO enable the choppings
to be removed.
At o'clock yesterday the strata of
blue clay was passed through and the
soapstone reached. The operators in
the derrick house could tell the differ
ence Immediately by the manner in
which the drill acted. Before this the
drill would bound as though striking
rubber, but when the stone was reached
there was clear metallic ring at each
time the drill struck the rock
They knew there had been a change
but were unable TO tell exactly the ma
ture of that change until the first buck
ct of choppings were brought TO the
surface. The first thing that attract
ed their attention was the oily appear
ance to be seen at the top of the bucket,
while az the bottom Of the bucket was
found pieces of stone.
At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon an
Eagle reporter called at the we'll and
found Contractor Austin extremely
happy. He said:
II am glad you have come. Every
thing is working in tip-top shape, We
won't shut down for anything. unless
1t would be break in some part OF the
machinery. Every hour now, night and
day, 1 think will find the drill further
and further in the earth. You don't
know what a relief it was to me this
morning when l found that after we
had entered soapstone and not gypsum.
There is no doubt about the strata be
ing genuine soap stone. as the oil prove
that. Come and 1 will show you the

PAUL JONES Is COMING.
The Man Who Went Around the World
Without a Penny, to be In Wichita.


Paul Jones the famous globe trotter
will be in the city Wednesday, Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday next.
While here he will act in the capacity
of a dry goods clerk for Cash Hender-
son in the New York store. He will
probably sell handkerchiefs.
Mr.. Henderson is not exactly employ
ing Paul Jones for an advertisement
although, doubtless, his presence in
the New York store will attract an
immense number of people there, espec-
tally the ladies, as Mr.. Jones is not only
bright and accomplished but a regular
Adonis as we'll.
Mr. Jones, as is we'll known to read
ers of Newspapers. started to make
tour around the world and one of the
conditions of his original proposition
was that he should start without a
penny in his pocket and return with
$1,000. Good fellows all over the world
have helped him to fill the conditions
of his bet and it is for this reason that
Henderson is employing him.
The fact is that Jones has finished his
trip around the world long ago and has
yet extra time which he is putting in
among the large cities for a benefit as
II were, the supposition being that he
has not yet made the $1,000.
Jones name is not Jones at all but
z. c. Pfeifer. He adopted the name
Of Paul Jones so that he could write
1t easier for a great deal Of his time is
taken up in writing autographs. He
was the son of a wealthy Boston capt.
taltst but some years ago his father
lost his fortune. The son went to work
on the Boston Globe as a reporter In
company with friends one day the story
of his changed condition came to be
related and Jones made the assertion
that man who would sink his pride
could accomplish anything within rea-
son and by way of illustra ton he made
the assertion that he could start out
naked, and without a penny and not
only make trip around the world but
make $1,000. His brag assumed the
shape Of a bet or challenge. In due
time he pulled off his clothes until he
was perfectly naked. He then made
himself suit Of clothes out of paper
and started out. The novelty of the
thing attracted public attention. He
exhibited himself in his paper suit and
when he made enough he bought suit
of clothes and then exhibited his paper
suit. In due time he procured a bicy-
Gle and from that on things come his
way. The history of his trip is full of
romance and very interesting.

have been attending the Free Methodist
meetings on the West Side and for four
nights have been seeking this perfect
peace, in fact trying to cross over Jor-
don from desert experience to
Christian residence in Canaan, but
something has been in the way. The
minister says l must make restitution,
and have been thinking over my past
life, and / remember very distinctly
that when the Cherokee strip was open
ed TO settlement that stole seven win
dows and two doors from house on
the West Side and took the property to
the strip with me- Now / have sold
that property and 1t is not in my pos
session, / do not know the owner

and I want to do all in my power to
pay for the wrong 1 have done If do
what I can the Lord will do the rest.
Now you allow credit of so cents a
day on the rock pile, and 1 am willing
to work out the price of the doors and

worth 50 each and the doors s.. This
makes 81 or 81 days. give myself up,
and am ready to go 20 prison"
The chief said he would lay the mat
ter before Mayor Cox Monday and give
him an answer, but advised him to re-
turn to church claiming that he had
done his duty. The man was relieved
and shook hands with everybody at the
station and left requesting John Fish
er to pray for him. John promised.

He GAVE HIMsELF UP.
Mr. Fox Wants to Make Restitution for
Property Taken when "A sinner.


Won't YOU please lock me up for
siXty-two days in the city jails?" said
Christian Fox to Chief of Police Bur-
rows last night"

for a time. but what on earth have you
been doing that you want such a long
sentence?"
Il have been getting religion" was
the answer.
What has that got to do with being
put in jail? There is no statute against
getting religion that 1 know of. and 1
never heard of the city council passing
any ordinance against a man getting
religion if he wanted to, and l can't
think what you want to be locked up
for unless you are crazy" said the be-
wildeCed chief.
Il assure you, gentlemen, I was never
more sane IN my life than ! am this
very minute, and l am willing to tell
you all about it If you want to hear,
and l am sure You viii decide that 1
am right
''Al right, proceed with your story.

oil. Now this is not petroleum Oil, and
/ don't think IL is Of any particular val
lie, but 1t is always found in soapstone
It IS not necessary for US 10 case this
strata and the shaft is so dry that we
are compelled to pour water down
from the top TO enable US to draw up
the debris from the bottom.
From this time out the develop
ments of the we'll will be more interest
ing. 1 cannot even venture a predic-
ton as 10 the depth Of the soapstone
or what will be the next strata reached
but am willing 10 venture the predic-
ton that the soapstone will end in a
regular slate.
Il have been engaged in the drilling
business for over eighteen years, and
never had such a time with a well but
once before in my life. and that was
in Indiana, while drilling for natural
gas. That well is the most valuab
well l ever drilled, so 1 am in hopes
that our poor beginning will make a.
good ending. The worry I have had
has been ten times harder than the
necessary labor. and you can under
stand why l feel so elated at seeing
everything work so nicely now. We
have the machinery and 1 am in hopes
that the Eagle will be enabled to an
nounce some important discovery be-
fore ten days more have passed.
Il think we will strike coal. oil, salt
gas or artesian water before many
days. Let the people come, but state
that the reason We cannot admit them
TO the drill house is not because we are
afraid they will see something, but be-
cause it is not safe for a person 10 be
around who is not able to tell what
Is going to drop when something goes
wrong. We have had one accident.and
If the derrick house had been full of
people many would doubtlessly have
been hurt. Mr. Sheppard who was in
jured is getting along nicely as far as
his injuries are concerned. but I I'M
derstand that he has taken the pleurisy

The reception at Baldwin's art gall
lery yesterday was even a greater sue
cess than the previous day Nearly
1000 people attended it during the after
noon and evening. At 4 o'clock in the
afternoon exactly S23 ladies had visited
the gallery and then the reception was
going on only two hours. The after
noon attendance was nothing compar-
ed with the evening attendance In
lighted by electricity and japanese
lanterns and looked very pretty. Quite
a number of the sweetest young ladies
in the city assisted Mr.. Baldwin in the
reception. The music was delightful.
Last evening at 7:S0, Mr. A. L. Bur-
row, who has lived with the family OF
his daughter, Mrs. Mills, in the Famous
block on Emporia avenue, died from
stroke of paralysis. He was sitting at
the supper table. when he suddenly fell
from his chair. Mr.. Mills Immediately
ran to the office of DR.. Fordyce, who
promptly responded and found Mr..
Burrow beyond any aid, death having
occurred before his arrival. Mr.. Bur-
row has not been at all well for some
time, but any sudden attack was total
ly unexpected. The funeral will occur
today at $50 o'clock at the Pro-Cathe-
dral.
