'On the return trip of the Belgika

Here in the city of San Fernando of TO-
600 nhabitants the people are some
what civilized and look much the same
as the Talogas of Manila, but speak a
different language. Back in the noun
tains a mile live very different race

Rice and dog meat is their food Hun

in vain to stop this manner of feasting.

Fell in Deep Spring.

wichita July 27.-People living in the
vicinity of Sultzer Springs. about II
miles southeast of Wichita, are all
stirred up over the mysterious disap-
pearance of John Belts, aged 20, who
suddenly disappeared while hauling
water for some threshers. Sultzer
Springs is a small pool of mineral wa
ter. but one where the depth has never
been fathomed. Belts was self to haul
water from this place to feed a thresh-
ing machine engine. When he did not
return from the trip the engineer be-
came alarmed and went in search of
the young man. The latter's hat was
found floating on the top of the water,
but he had disappeared. Because of
the great depth all attempts to dredge
the bottom have been futile and the
party secured a quantity of dynamite
in Wichita and will blow up the well in
the hope of recovering the body.

talked of" for lieutenant governor
for the purpose of heading off the
boons of Otis L. Anterior for treasurer
and J. r. Burrows for secretary of
state on the Republican ticket in 1902
All of the parties live in the Sixth dis

second place the others would be out,

in one of the ugh-Leland
banks in the new Oklahoma country

is one of the politicians who decries the
question of factions in the party.
The governor likes to perch himself
on a stool in his favorite restaurant
and between bites to talk to the mem
bers of the Hot Foot society of
which he is the legal adviser He is all
smiles then AS he chats for a moment
with each of the brethren as they pass
by, but he does not like it when a
mention of politics is made. It retards
his digestion The governor had passed
through the bones of black bass and
was busy on a piece of gooseberry pie
when someone mentioned politics and
factions. There are no factions in the
Republican party, said the genial
Herr Richter with emphasis The smile
had left him. IF I am going to run
for governor I am looking for the sup
port of the entire solid Republican
party The governor gulped the last
of the pie and left for a visit to Coun-
ell Grove.
