A MEETING
Held by the Board of Health Mon
day Evening.

The Board of Health of the city held
its first regular meeting for a long
time Monday evenin. 1t seems that
this Board has been unable to get quor-
um for several weeks until last even
ing when all the members were pres
ent except Weber.
The minutes of the last meeting were
read and approved.
The matter of the condition of the
well on upper Front street was intro
duced and the Sanitary Policeman
was instructed to look after the sur
rounding conditions as to their santa
ton. 1t is intended that a sample of
the water taken from the well be ex-
amined by the State Board OF Health.
While the Board was considering the
matter of wells, the condition of one
on Gilman street and its proximity to
the sewer was discussed, but no action
taken.
The Clerk of the Board was instruct
ed to notify the landlord to have the
water closet connections made in the
drug store of Beagle G Lytle.
Messrs. Henry, Spies and Jett were
appointed to visit the property of Mrs.
Brown, at the corner of Third and
SCANNED streets, as to its general con-
dition, also to look into the conditions
existing near the junction of Second
and Marion streets, to report at the
next meeting.
Several cases, perhaps half dozen of
measles were reported.
A bill was allowed DR.. C. T. Waters of
$2.46, and salary for six months,
amounting to $4,000 was allowed to DR..
Frank Hart
The Clerk has no place to keep the
papers and other material belonging
to the Board and will soon be supplied
with some sort of a cabinet for the
purpose

TUESDAY, APRIL 10, 1899.


In the death OF Bishop Wabterson,
of Columbus, the State of Ohio and
the Catholic Church loses great man;
a man whose work for good has been
most earnest and far-reaching. He
was a clear thinker and rapid and
brilliant speaker.
Aside from his church work, which
of course occupied his time pretty
thoroughly, he paid great attention to
the cause of temperance, and was one
of the most ardent and effective work.
ers in that broad field.
The people at large will be shocked
at the death of this noble man, and
will deeply regret his early taking off
in the very flower of his manhood.

Oil Notes,
YESTERDAYS MARKET
HAVE sTRuCK OIL.

Mr.. A. B. Skipton, of this city, trav-
cling salesman for Jones, Witter &
Co., of Columbus, o., wholesale dealers
in dry goods and notions, has made
lucky hit. Some time past he, with
several others, in the vicinity of Ches-
terhill, O.. leased 1400 acres of land
near the oil fields of Chesterhill. Ar
rangements were made to drill four
wells on the lease, and on Thursday of
this week the first well was drilled on
r. Lamberts farm and proves it.
self to be a good one. Ureat excitement
prevails in the neighborhood of Plant
ville,as lie well is but a chort distance
north of this village This developed a
new field and land is being leased at
almost any cost.-Zanesville Times
Recorder.
A NEW LEASE ISSUE RAISED.
The courts of Wood and Hancock
counties are always handling some oil
suit OF more or less interest, but the
following, reported by the Findlay
Republican is along a new line and
raises a question that has never come
up before in the Ohio courts. 1t says.
An oil lease injunction suit which
involves a very interesting and novel
question, was filed in Common Pleas
Court Saturday by Flora r. Pogue and
Ida G. Bicknell against Emanuel "
Wyssbrod. The plaintiffs are the
wives of John F. Pogue and Edward j
Bicknell.
"The plaintiffs aver that on August
81, 1897, John f. Pogue leased certain
lands belonging to S. ]. Thompson in
section II, Liberty township for OF
and gas purposes, and that the lease
was transferred to them. They say
that they have drilled and are now op-
Grating five wells under the lease.
"The plaintiffs further recite that
on October 13, 1896, d. J. Cory, who
was then the owner of the land, exc
cuted lease of it to l.. McManness
and others whereby the latter was Civ
en- the right to drill wells on the land
described in the lease for period OF
three years. 1t was further provided
that any wells drilled within the three
years could be operated as long as
profitable. Later, the plaintiffs say
Mr.. McManness transferred a portion
of the lease to the defendant.
Continuing the plaintiHs aver that
after tne expiration of the three years
and after the right to drill under the
Cory lease had expired it was discov-
cred that below the stratum of rock
then drilled there was another stream
of oil-bearing rock which by the terms
of their (plaintiffsD lease they had ac-
quired the exclusive right.
The plaintiffs charge that in viola
tion of this right the defndant is now
drilling one of his wells on the east
part of 40 acres of the premises down
into the stratum owned by them and
also declares his intention of drilling
five other wells deeper, and if he is
| permitted to do so they will suffer ir-
reparable damage. They therefore
ask that the defendant be restrained
from drilling any of his wells on the
farm to greater depth"

temporary Injunction as prayed for

TWO BIC DEALS
Jack Shields Pays $4,000 for
Romig & Howard Block.
J. R. MEAD'S INVESTMENT
Secures North Market Street
Building at $4,000.

Mr.. Jack Shields yesterday bought
from the Kansas National Bank, through
the agency of Reese & Co., the fine
business store room at 134 North Main
street, occupied by Romig & Howard
The price paid was even 5000, and two
hours after the transfer was made Mr.
Shields was offered $500 for the property
and refused the offer. The building is
one Of the finest business rooms on Main
street and has always brought an excel
lent rental price. 1t is % feet wide, two
stories high and about so feet long. The
front Is Of fine architecture, built of iron
and stone. 1t is understood that Mr.
Shields purchased the property merely
as permanent investment and the con-
dition Of the real estate market in Wich-
tia proves that he has made a good one.
There was another very important
transfer recorded yesterday which
proves the wisdom Of old residents who
have watched the growth Of Wichita and
are able to Judge Of the merits and de-
merits of realty. Mr.. James r. Mead
has purchased the large double brick
on North Market street, now occupied
by the Goldstandt-Powel1 Wholesale Hat
company. Mr.. Mead paid IS, 800 for the
property and 1t is considered one of the
best bargains in the way Of business
property made this year This building
was formerly owned by the Hancock
Mutual Life Insurance company, an east
ern corporation, who had doubtless lost
track of the trend Of business and the
progress of this city. Mr.. Mead has
picked up several good pieces of business
property this year and in consequence is
said to be great deal better off than
he was at the beginning of the year.
Reese & Co. also sold the Morris prop
erty on North Market street. very
handsome residence, to Mrs. Martha Lin
ell for $500 The list Of real estate
transfers shows the sales OF several
other residences, proving that the real
estate market is lively and will be very
active from now until the first Of the
year, as homes make excellent Christmas
and New Years presents.

ed to be the best returns on the invest

DISPUTES ABOUT THE CENTURY
People Disagree as to When TWEEN
tieth Century Begins

If you will lstart out and ask people
when in their opinion the twentieth cen
tury begins, about half Of them will tell
you that two weeks from next Monday
is the first and the other half will deny
1t. They viii largue 1t and grow heated
in the debate. In two or three instances
hard words have passed between Wichita
men on this very question: Does the
twentieth century begin next January
or year from next January?
Here is an argument in the form of a
catechism you might use and save time
and trouble:
Question-Whata Is a year?
Answer-Three hundred and sixty-five
days.
What IS a century?
One hundred years.
When did the year No endf
December 81 of the year /
When did the year No. 2 begin?
January l of the year 2
When did the year 90 end?
December 81, A. D. go.
Did that complete a century,
No.
When was the century complied?
Al the close Of the year following 90;
or at the close OF the year 100
When did the second century begin?
January 1 Of the year l Of the second
century, that Is, January /. A. D.. 101
When did the nineteenth century be-
gin?
At the close of the nineteen hundredth
year or at the close of 1900
When does the twentieth century be-
gin?
1t begins on day No l Of year No.
Of the twentieth hundder ycars-that IS,
on January l. A. D., 1901.
There are still two Christmases before
the twentieth century dawns.
