OIL Company Selling Stock.

The La Iunta Oil and Gas Com
panv have their organization com
plete and have issued the shares
OF stock to their subst ribers.
They have some 10, 600 acres OF
land south and west of town and
are making arrangements to pur
down test well. They expect &c
commence work on the well inside
OF sixty days. They have placed
100. 900 shares OF treasury stock
on the market at az cents pei
share, and 1t is going like no,
cakes, and the price will be ad
vanced 10 a short time. An ex-
pert oil man from Florence, was
down last week and looked the
field over, he thinks the indica.
tions for striking oil are excellent.
Considering the large body of land
the company have, the control o,
their stock ought TO be good and
safe investment. Now is the tim {
to buy when II is cheap. Every dol.
lar OF this treasury stock must be
used for development purposes
only, and the officers of the com
pany are men of good business
ability, honesty and integrity.

Chasing Bad en-.

Lon Ford and Clarence Alison,
two prisoners who broke Jail a,
Ashland, Kan, on March 18th,
and who were chased by the Of.
ticers through southern Kansas,
were discovered to be hiding in
Smith Canyon, some thirty miles
south OF La unta, a short time
ago. Word was brought here on
the 10th instant that they had been
seen in that neighborhood. As
there is reward of 5000 offered
for their capture, Mosby A. Lee
and Dec Bennett made a trip to
the Canyon on the nth instant,
to try and capture them.
1t seems that Jack Mackin and
Bill Dwyer, two COW men living in
Smith Canyon, had missed some
provisions and cooking utensils.
They traced the things to the
Mesa and were held up by the
two prisoners. They were well
acquainted with Lon Ford and
conversed with him for some
time. He claimed that they
would not be taken alive and that
they were only resting their horses
up, contemplating a trip to the
Hole-in- Wall in Wyoming.
On his return Mr. Lee wired to the
cattle inspector at Texline and
also TO the sheriff at Ashland

is the vitaliZing and sustaining inf1u-
ence that has made Tuskegee. The
real measure of the man is manifest in
the spirit he has inspired into his as
sistants and the community as a
whole. ~, ~ -
In this community are some 1900
males and females who are being
equipped for the duties of life. They
come from all classes and conditions
of life. Many arrive at the institute
in abject poverty, without the means
to pay the small tuition which is char
ged. The most uppromising are soon
whipped into condition. Each is CIV
taught a trade. All are inculcated
with ideas of morality, thought, clean
illness, industry and discipline No
nant note which one hears from morn.
ing until night is the dignity of work.
The average student, coming from the
most proverty- stricken surroundings,
soon catches the spirit of 'Tuskegee,
and in the brief space of a few months
a wonderful transformation takes
place. Order comes out of chaos. The
habits of lifetime are reversed.
J. The result of all this is an ideal Ne
gro community. The expression IAN
ideal Negro community" will give but
a vague idea to the average southern
err. l have visited many college towns
and studied the work of many colleges
1 have never seen one which approx
mates Tuskegee in many respects.
During two days spent at Tuskegee
never saw tobacco used in any form,
never heard the suggestion of pro-
family, did not detect the semblance
of immortality, and the boisterous-
ness and disorder which one in
stinctively associates with the Negro
was absolutely lacking. Perfect order,
neatness, self-respect and absolute po-
likeness prevailed everywhere These
Negroes had been. educated in the
broadcast and best sense. All sides OF
them had been developed and the best
had been brought out. There was no
suggestion Of superficial veneer
which temporarily hides all the origin
al crudities. The visit was, as T said
; in the beginning, a revelation. The
same revelation is in store for any
! southern man who will take the troub-
lie to visit Tuskegee. '.s-
/ It will, be urged that Tuskegee is
an exceptional case and that one can
form no idea of the net result CT Negro
industrial education from this isolated
example. This is not true.f In the
| state Of Alabama the results of the
Tuskegee Spirit are becoming manifest
/ everywhere. Similar schools, on a
small scale, founded by Tuskegee grad
uates,t are .springing up in many sec
lions. All of these schools are annual
ly turning out men and women who
are making better carpenters, better
blacksmiths, better cooks, nurses, brick
masons, farmers, and better men and
women. & +. =. b. q \ /.

Why the Servant Girl Left the Home
stead OF the Greens.
Hetty Green has achieved reputa-
ton for parsimony, but. he husband
was not far behind her. At one time
they were living in New Hampshire
and were the talk of the town. The
servant girl who lived with them had
a great deal to contend with, and
finally left when Mr.. Green would not
have the wood cut. She says that
the pieces Of wood were too long to-
put into the stove, and she objected.
The wood came in four-foot sticks, and
Mr.. Green. declared it was waste of
money to hire a man to chop it up.
well, how can I use them when they
won't go into the stoye?" inquired the
servant girl. "I'll show You" said Mr..
Green, Then he showed a four-foot
stick as far into the stove as it would
go and rested the end on chair-back.
AS the stick burned down he showed it
a little further into the stove, until
it was small enough to go in entirely.
The servant girl gave notice at once.

LOST ARM, BUT SAVED HIS LIFE
Terrible Experience of Man Who Tell
as He Left q Train.

as He Left Train.
Oscar Wensole, who was recently
seriously. injured by a Burlington
train, is rapidly improving at st.
Francis hospital. The story Of the
accident, as told by the injured young
man, is that he attempted to jump,
intending to alight upon his left foot.
He slipped, and was forced to extend
his right foot, which when it struck
the ground, threw him directly to-
ward the train.
In attempting to catch at something
his arm fell across the rail, and his
position was such that it, was impos-
sible for him to move without meet
ing instant death. Thus, with the
full realization of what was transpir-
ing, he was forced to lie perfectly
still and endure having eight sets Of
wheels pass over and grind off his
arm. Besides the first pinching SEN
sation, there was no great pain. If
he had attempted to move out of the
way he would have been crushed upon
the head by the overhanging steps OF
the coaches as they rushed over him,
or, possibly, thrown under the train.
1t was all done so quickly that
there was but a fraction of second
to decide between the loss of an arm
and the retention of life and an at
tempt to save the arm and probable
death. He chose the former. In =
dim way he saw a. receding light and
family realized what it all meant:
that theStfain was gone and that he
no longer possessed a right arm. He
I struggled upon the elbow of his re-
naming arm and managed to reach
his home.-La Crosse Chronicle. -

TUSKEGEE'S REVELATION.
For the Southern Born man, by Sidney Or
mon ii =

S--o 0--- ~-~~-N'
lnond. = Z.
b The first visit Of a southern born man
to Booker Washington's institute at
Tuksegee will constitute a revelation,
no matter how closely he may have
studied the Negro race or how much
he may have read of Washington
work. The most detailed descriptions
OF the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial
institute and the work being done there
are, at. best, in the very nature OF
things, inadequate. From long con-
tact and association, the southern man
has formed very just and complete
estimate Of the Negro as he is. OF his
possibilities, however, under an excep-.
tional environment, he is not fully
aware. The white man is familiar OF
course, with the sporadic examples OF
/. black men who have, through force OF
unusual mental ability, transcribed
the rank and file of their race; but
of the high average of intelligence,
industry and activity which may be
attained by the masses, he has but
vague conception. The exceptional en-.
vironment, with it's attendant excep-
tional results, is manifest at Tuskegee.
rhis point-that of an exceptional en-
vironment and inf1uence-must be
constantly borne in mind when Wash
ington's work at Tuskegee is consid-
cred. 81 ss 49, s5f

Separated from the town of Tuske-
gee proper, the Tuskegee Normal and
