FOR KILLING HIS own COUSIN
BENJAMIN F. Gates ON TRIAL FOR
SHOOTING MONROE BALES.
Crime Was Committed October S Last
ut Fifth and WyandOtte-BOth
Parties Members of the Best
Families in Ray County.

BENJAMIN F. Gates of Richmond, Mo-,
will be tried in the criminal court this
week, beginning tomorrow, for the mur-
der of his cousin, Monroe Bales. on last
carnival night, October s. All of yester-
day afternoon was taken up with the i'm
paneling of a jury from which the state
and defense shall exercise their peremptory
challenges. The hearing of evidence will
begin tomorrow morning and it is hardly
probable that the trial will be concluded
within four or five days. There are sixty
witnesses from Ray county to be heard
in addition to the immediate witnesses of
the act of shooting.
The trial is sure TO be replete with dra-
matte Incidents as the two parties to the
killing belonged TO the best families in
Ray county. 1t is said that there was a
Ions standing grudge getween the two men
and that Monroe Bales had threatened
Gates life on several occasions. Both the
young men were in the city last carnival
night and met in front of Richards &; Con-
overs hardware store. at Fifth and Wy
andotte. 1t is said that Bales was un-
armed. Gates fired six shots, all of which
took effect.
Gates is setting up a plea of self-de-
fense. Prosecuting Attorney Lowe is be-
ris, of Ray county. The defense is repre-
sented by Major Blake L. Woodson and
j. w. Garner. The case will be one of the
most stubbornly contested for years.

WILL GO DOWN 1000 FEET.
Cudahy Oil Company Hunting for n
Big Oil Pool Near Bar
tIeSViIIe, I. II.

Independence, Kas., Jan. 26.-(Special.) }
The Cudahy Oil Company will commence
to sink another well this week in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Bart1-sville, L T. They
have leases on large tracts of land in this
part of Kansas and the Indian Territory,
and have been very active in developing it.
They intend TO sink this well to a depth of
over 1000 feet, and are confident they will
find the big oil pool which all the prospect
ors agree exists somewhere in this local
ity. The Murphy well, near here, struck
good oil at depth of LOO feet and at
Caney oil was reached at a depth of LOO
feet. while at Red Fork. fifty miles south
of Bartlesville, the Cudahy people have
just completed q well which showed oil at
a depth of 1000 feet. Other wells have
been drilled east and west of Bartlesville
and all show a gradual dip towards Bar
tlesville, and the Cudany people are con-
fident they will make a rich find. The
wells in this vicinity are kept pumping
only part of the time, and only four or five
crews are kept at work to give employment
to the men, for the reason that all the
storage capacity is exhausted, and oil men
say that oil will keep better under the
ground than on top. Another big storage
tank is to be put in shortly. 1t will be the
eighth.

Paine's celery compound is working mir

So says recent article by the foremost
medical esSayist in Boston.
Nothing shows more conclusively," he
adds, ''the astonishing capability of Paine's
celery compound than the thoughtful, open
minded class of people who use it and rec
ommend it, both in public and among their
closest and dearest friends and relatives
Among us (physicians) there is no longer
any hesitancy in recommending this great
est remedy without stint of praise
About the same time the above article
was published there appeared in the Bos-
ton Journal the following letter from Da-
vid X. Chasserr, of 452 Windsor street, Cam
bridgeport, a suburb of Boston:
Il take great pleasure in testifying to the
extraordinary merits of Paine's celery
compound. For some time past 1 have
been under the treatment of two well
known local doctors, but their combined
efforts proved of no avail. l have been
for years harsh skeptic in regard to ad-
vertised medicines, but having suffered
excruciating pains in the head, which the

cry compound, on the advice of a friend
TO my surprise, I found an entire
change going on after taking a little over
three bottles and I began to feel like
new man. L have for the past 10 or u
years suffered from pains in the back and
other symptoms of arrangement of the
kidneys and bladder, and have spent many
sleepless nights in consequence, but now 1
sleep sound, thanks to the common sense
which induced me to try Paine's celery
compound. L will ever praise the mar
velous potency of this valuable medicine,
and at any time will be glad to give per-
sonal testimony at my address, should any
sufferer care to call, as 1 consider it selfish
to keep such blessing housed up, and
think the proprietors of Paine's celery
compound deserving of more thanks than
1 can convey in words, for making me
new man."
a word to other sufferers:
Go to your druggist for bottle of Paines
celery compound, and allow him to sell
you nothing else.

QUEEN LII RECEIVES.
. Expected Only Newspaper Men and
officials, but the Feminine Pub
lie Was There Also.

Washington, Jan. 26.-Ex-Queen LiIiuo-
kalani held a reception this afternoon for
two hours at her rooms in the Shoreham.
IT was her purpose 20 confine the recep-
tion mainly to newspaper men and such
persons in official life as cared to call.
However. the ladies in the hotel soon
passed the news of the affair to their
friends elsewhere and in consequence the
small parlor set apart for the callers was
well crowded with persons mostly of the
fair sex, and generally animated by feel
ing of curiosity to see the woman who had
been a queen and had filled a page in the
history of Polynesia.
The queen was assisted in the reception
of visitors by her lady in waiting, Miss
Nahaololua, and by her secretary and
agent, Joseph II. Helelihue both native
Hawaiians. Mr.. Palmer, acting as her
chamberlain. received the callers at the
doorway and presented them to the re-
ceiving party. The queen was becomingly
attired in a black silk gown. trimmed with
royal purple, and bore herself with great
dignity, responding aptly to the saluta-
tons of her callers and having a pleasant
word for everyone.
Whether or not she will again receive
the public in Washington is not known
and when she was asked the question how
long she intended TO remain here. she re-
piled that she did not know; she found it
so pleasant in Washington that she had
as yet given no thought to departure.
