and , inches thick Tt is made in the
form of pOcketbOOk for holding bank
notes and looks as If it might be chock
full but in reality it is fun Of views of
the different scenes along the Santa Fe
route
For the past few days it has been miss
ing and, hunting high and low, no trace
of the book could be found until yester-
toned place on the desk No one could
account for its strange disappearance or
return. and it would probably have re-
maned one of those inexplicable Incl

the first hand printing press ever
brought into the state of Kansas It
was one Of the old-tirne Washtu gton
hand presses which require d boy-and-
roller attachment. and are still seen IN
little country newspaper Offices
The press was first brought to Kansas
during the border ruffian days and an
attempt was made to use it at Shaw
nee mission, but it was not kept in use
Mr. IeOUan says his recollection of it
IS that an attempt was made TO print
an equal suffrage paper with it, but the
attempt was not a success
Mr.. E0eman's first experience with it
was during the sixties after the war
He and F E Smith bought it and the
type that went with it. and took the
outfit to Cottonwood Falls. where they
founded the Chase County Banner. The
type was 50 pied that it took them
three weeks to straighten it out Mr.
Smith was afterwards elected sheriff Of
Chase county and Mr. Teoman was his
deputy

STANDARD OIL QUITS.
Removes It's Plant From Ohio Be
cause of Antitrust War

Cleveland. Ohio, July 1.-THE story
published several weeks ago that the
Standard Oil company was to abandon
its Ohio territory because of the anti
trust war made on it by the attorney
general Is now confirmed The Ohio
CORPORATION will soon cease to exist. as
Is evidenced by the fact that the trust
immense plant in this city, the second
largest IN the world, is practically aban-
douaG- Its co0perage shop, the largest
in the world, is closed, as is also its
immense tank
Another strong evidence is the fact
that Martin Snyder. treasurer OF the
Standard Oil company, Ohio corporation
has resigned and removed from the
Standard building 1t is also said that
Frank Rockefeller has resigned as vice
president and the only officers remain
ing are President John Rockefeller and
Secretary F. b Squire. Employees of
the company are offering their homes
for sale and preparing to leave the city.
Most Of them have no idea where they
are to go.
Everything indicates that the i'm
xuense plant will be abandoned It is
said that the Solar Refining company Of
Lima. Ohio. ostensibly an independent
concern, is increasing its refined output
with the ultimate object Of doing all of
the Standards Ohio work.
