Last Move In League Case

The records OF the Allen county
court for the past twenty years, more
or less, have shown a case in which
the principal parties we're p. c. Jacob
son and u. 5. Hoilmantwo well known
farmers of Salem. Hoffman owns al6O
acre farm in that vicinity and years
ago Jacobson got possession and held
it as a homestead. The matter has
been i'm the courts all these years and
the last move was made at the last
term of the district court when the
court made restitution to Hoffman.
jacobson was in town Saturday
and made application to the probate
court to have an injunction issued re-
straining Hoffman, but the court re-
fused to issue it.

THE KANSAS GAS FIELD
A Returned Indiana Man Tells About
What he Saw in Trip Through
Southeastern Kansas.

In an issue of the Muncie, Ind.

pears the following in regard to Kan

at isa fnecountry," said Mr.. Dodds
to Marion Chronicle man, but as a
manufacturing section, it has not been
developed. 1t has large zinc shelters
and brick works that turn out excel
lent shale paving brick, but there are
no factories that employ skilled labor.
"The gas supply is good. The rock
pressure is 32j pounds and the volume
of gas is large. The belt is not con-
tinuous, the pressure seeming to be in
pools. Where it is found however,
there is an abundant supply aud 1t
will last for years.
1.-THE Kansas people have a wonder
full opportunity if they put as much
energy into the development of their
country as the people of Indiana did
into theirs. They have not yet real
lied the importance of giving bonuses
to factories, dependingupon the natur-
al gas itself to attract industries. That
mistake was made in Indiana at the
outset, but was corrected in time and
hundreds of factories that would not
otherwise have been secured were To-
Gated through subsidies and have been
of inestimable benefit 10 the COM
munities in which they were placed.
"More than II years ago gas was
found in the Kansas field. So far II
has been of little benefit. but if the
people hustle as they have in Indiana,
Kansa, gas belt towns will soon bc
thriving manufacturing communities.
The towns range in population from
1000 to 1000 and have good railroad
facilities.
"Oil is also found. At Neodosha il
is obtained in large quantities, the field
at that point being quite extensive. Al
Cotfeyville the oil is found above the

gas at 900. The gas sand is not lime

Sold to Gen. Grant.

The tale an eX-Confederate tells of
an auction in Petersburg:
While chatting over Dewey's marve-
lous victory and the chance of his
Smelling Manila, Capt. D. G. Freder-
rick a Confederate veteran of Parkers-
burg, West Va, said 81 never hear
of the Smelling OF a city but what | am
reminded of an incident which hap
pened while Grant was Smelling
Petersburg. our side had become SO
accustomed TO the singing of the
shells that we paid little attention to
them, consequently was attracted as
/ passed Il large auction house, by
hearing the auctioneer announce that
during the sale Gen. Grant has
agreed to cease firing and while
knew it to be a joke, l could not help
but wait and see the result. Article
after article was knocked down to
various purchasers until it came to an
immense wardrobe, which the sales
man said was bargain at 81, SOC
Confederate money!. 1t started at
$500 bid, advanced $50 bid until it
reached 81 900 when large shell fell
upon it, knocking it into smithereens.
AS the shell hit it the auctioneer, with
a laugh shouted; Sold to Gen.
Grant for 1000, and the :sale pro,
ceeded as if nothing serious had oc-
cured. The auctioneer was G. c.
Burton famous before, during and
for many years after the war, for his

BY THE GAS.
G. w. QUIET Had a Close Call While
Blowing Ont Regulator for
the Cement Company

1t is due solely to the providential
good offices of two strangers that the
friends of G. w. QUIET are not fol-
lowing him in long and gloomy pro-
cession to his last resting place to-
day. He very nearly went to better
world yesterday by the natural gas
route.
Mr.. Quiet is plumber and gas filter
for the cement company and has
charge of their mains. According to
custom he visited the wells Sunday
morning and examined the regulators
to see that they were working prop
erly. At the wen back of the old
Northrup home near Elm Creek, he
found that the regulator was some
what disarranged by dust and he
turned on the gas to blow it out. The
top of the well and the regulator are
in a small shed few feet square and
after turning on the gas Mr. Quiet
took off the top of the regulator to
examine it more closely. He worked
away for some time and then stood
up to rest his legs. The last he re-
! members. he says. was STARTING for
the door when had blown shut, in
order to open it. He was overcome
10y the gas which he had been inhaling
for some time and fell to the floor OF
the shed.
How long he lay there and how
long he might have lain there before
discovery are matters of speculation.
The finding of him was purely acct

man. both strangers here, were walk
ing along the creek and hearing the
gas well blowing off went to the shed
to look at it out of idle curiosity.
one man tried the door and finding it
closed went around to the windows
and looked in. 1t was sometime
before he happened to glance down
and saw a human form struggling con-
vulsively on the floor. The two men
Immediately rushed against the door,
knocked it open and quickly dragged
Mr.. Quiet into the open air. DR..
Chastain was summoned and they
worked over the unconcious form for
several hours before it was certain
whether life or death would gain the
victory. Mr.. Quiet gradually came
to and is feeling nearly as well
as usual, but he vii carry to his

Blasted Out Zinz Crystals.

There is not the least doubt that
this entire country is underlaid with
mineral, coal zinc and lead Traces
of all three have been found year
after year in wells and ravines and
so it was not surprising Saturday
that the Cement company when they
examined the tossed up rock which a
huge blast threw from the quarry,
found unmistakable crystals of zinc
The find is slight and will never be
enough found probably to make ii
valuable commercially, but the fact
that it is found everywhere in the
county holds out the pleasant promise
always that rich, paying strike may
some day be made.

Saturday He drove to town in Mr.
Wheller's buggy and left it standing
on thesouth sideof the square in front
of Spenccr's. 1t seems that DR.. Car

had livery rig ordered and he thought
the Wheeler horse was the one brought
for him, so he marched down and drove
of with it, Mr.. Curtis spent an hour
looking for the horse and found no
trace. The city officials said they
thought Judge Gard had stolen it and
driven out to Gas City. Mr.. Curtis
was on pins and needles and he worried
several pounds off,
In the meantime the doctor and his
wife took a long driveinto the country
and on their way home passed the &C.

recognized his rig and marched out
and asked what it meant. There was

Nice Worls For Onr RnnI

In its write-up of the Log Rolling
the Wichita Eagle has the following
nice compliment to pay to the lola
band:
THE selections by the Wichita band
were given with the usual rendition of
the band and much applause was the
result. Immediately after the play
ing of the Sanford band the lola Mill
tary band was announced. The band
consists of twenty-five pieces and they
present neat appearance in their
dark green uniforms. The director of
the band is O. a. Peterson, a musi-
clan of much ability. The band gave
as their selections during the evening,
march, Cosmos" overture, Rose
D'Amour," and a medley "Out for a
Lark" The playing of the band
made them many friends in Wichita
and was the subject of much com.
ment."

No Leases Made at Moran.

The agents of the Kansas Oil & Gas
Company have appeared at Moran
and failed to secure any leases. The
farmers are afraid the company pro-
poses to pipe the gas out of the county
and thus Moran would get no fac
tories, no matter how much gas was
struck. On the other hand they want
the prospecting done which will settle
once and for all whether there is gas
under their land. The way to do is TO
yet together. hire good lawyer who
knows the gas business and have him
draw ~ form of lease which secure,
full rights 10 the owners of the land
bind, the company to do things and
cancels the lease the minute any at
tempt is made to pipe the gas from
the county. II the gas is there it will

DEAR REGISTER

DEAR ltE3lSTER'-
Having drifted this near
home | thought perhaps a few lines
might be of interest to your readers.
l left Maryland the first of August
where they had been suffering for rain
for some time and in Pennsylvania
where visited it was still the same,
but irl Ohio there was soon different
look in the crops and plenty of rain.
Ohio and Indiana failed in wheat on
account of the fly, but they have a
tremendous crop of corn and between
Dayton and Cincinnati there is field
after field of the filthy weed, tobacco.
What pity they dontrai something
fit for hog to eat.
Coming from Cincinnati to st. Louis
we notice considerable railroad build
ing going on and upon inquiring was
informed that the r. & 0. southwest
road was expanding over five million
dollars strengthening out their road
and double tracking it preparatory
to handle the crowd and the mail
in 1903 to the Great Centennial at st.
Louis.
Upon inquiring we were informed that
the location for the fair ground has
not been made public yet.
Coming along on the old Missouri
Pacific on the banks of the old Muddy
my mind could not refrain from run
ming back just forty years ago when
wife and came over that road to JEFF
ferson City, then the nearest point
of rail road to Kansas City. We had
to take a steam boat then to Kansas
City, then pay a man thirty dollars to
bring us down mot to lola for it was
not known yet but to the Neosho,
which afterwards was known as Law
yer's ford. When we think of the
wonderful changes that have taken
place since then we think it worthy OF
notice. Then we had our mail once Il
week on Saturday afternoon and .the
people would gather from far and neal
TO get news of the state.
IOllJlcS seems 10 me 10 ne one
sided affair, as many people as | got

southern Indiana in Washingtoncoun-
ty where they take no other paper
than the Cincinnati Enquirer and the
Salem Democrat. There of course
Bryan is ahead. But then how about
the Webb City Register that has car
rled Bryan's picture since the last
presidential election and now in the
eleventh hour has stopped the picture
Has the plate really worn out from
daily use like its subject OF
what is the matter with Bryan?

21St Anniversary
Celebrated.
Interesting Exercises Held
in Old Swedes Church
Yesterday.

The 2oIst anniversary Of the
conservation OF Old Swedes church
was celebrated Sunday morning,
beginning with the administration
OF Holy Communion at 7.3o a. m.
followed by services at 10, 80, the
united congregations Of Trinity and
Old Swedes participating in the
exercises. These two churches are
now united under one rector, the
Rev. H. Ashton Henry. He was
assisted by the Vicar, the Rev.
Martin B. Dunlap who resides at
old Swedes. The sermon was
delivered by the Rev. Alfred G.
Mortimer, rector OF St. Marks
parish, Philadelphia. Mr.. Mortimer
took his text from the 9TH chapter
OF End Chronicles which refers to
the dedication OF the first temple to
the glory Of God by Solomon,
which he said was the prototype
Of all church dedications which
have followed. Among his remarks
he said that as Solomon in his
prayer on this occasion prayed to
God to remember not himself hut
his father David who in his life had
caused all the material needed to
be gathered together and did so
much to make its erection possible
SO should they on this occasion not
think of themselves so much, but
pray God to remember those who
in the past two hundred years by
their gifta. prayers and works had
aided SO greatly in building up the
spiritual welfare OF the church.
The history Of old Swedes dates
back as far as 1866 when services
were conducted in a little chapel
across the Christina by the Rev.
Rerus Torkillus. The Te Deum
WAS rendered by the choir.
