Angry Emperor.

AS is known, the German Emperor
evinces a keen appreciation of news
papers. but his love for them has been
somewhat modified since certain Incl.
dent took place. He was travelling from
rotsdam by train and was talking on
all sorts of subjects, when of sudden
the presence in the salon of an indi-
vidual in the guise of servant of the
imperial household caused the CONVEX
sation to cease abruptly. A horrible
suspicion as to the bona fides of the
servant flashed across the mind of the
Emperor's secretary, who, on inter
rogating the man. discovered that he
was a reporter who had adopted the
role of a lackey in order to be able to
publish some of the Emperor's sayings.
The punishment meted out to the scribe
was eminently characteristic of the
ruler of Germany The train was
stopped at a lonely spot and the re-
porter dropped, with walk of ten
miles to the next station before him.

When Miss Abby Frazer made her
preparations for a trip to Denver. Col.
to visit her sister she was pleasantly
surprised by the interest her friends
showed in her departure. and pleased
hy the numerous gifts presented to her.
One friend assured her that dining
ears were so uncertain that wise pas
sengers did not depend on them for
their daily bread. but graciousiy added
that she intended to put up luncheon
for Miss Abby herself. and mentioned
pound-cake. with citron in it, nut-cook-
les and fig sandwiches as desirable por
tons of the gift.
Another friend brought her Il long
desired book, while knit slippers. "A
work bag and "traveler'S friend.
containing all sorts of things that are
never used by travellers, added to Miss
Abby's delight in her prospective jour
ney.
On the day before her departure Mrs.
Knight, a relative, called. and laying d
good sized package on the table said:

Miss Frazer smiled and murmured
her thanks, wondering what delightful

Mrs. Knight interrupted her: Il was

An Old Incident Recalled.

A bit of local history has been brought
to light by the filing of an assumpsit
suit of John Young against Robert w.
Hervey of Pittsburg for $22, 1919, which
amount Harvey was to pay for Young's
farm. Harvey backed out of the bar
gain because. he said, Young could not
give him good title to his farm, being
unable to trace it back further than
1867, when it was allotted to David Bor-
lond as part of the estate of his father.
William Borland. This history was
brought to light in tracing the title be-
yond William Borland.
In the early part of the last century
the Young farm and several hundred
acres surrounding was the property of
James Scott, who lived with his wife
on the place. A openly antagonistic
feeling existed at that time between the
Protestants and Catholics, particularly
among those of Scotch and Irish ex-
traction. Scott was Protestant and
when drinking, was very abusive of the
Catholic religion and its adherents.
One day after visit to Butler during
which he had been unusually offensive
and had quarreled with some of the
Catholic following. Scott's body was
Lounu HodIlhB III Iue OounOqueness1nB
creek near what is now the Center
avenue bridge His body was bruised
but the cause of his death was never
explained. This happened about 1880.
Scott's widow remained on his land,
making her home with William Bor-
land and his family and on her death
leaving the land to him.
The aversion of the Catholics and
Protestants of that day for each other
is in strong contrast with the mutual and
peaceable forebearance and intercourse
of the present day.

The Starr Gushers.

Two or three years ago the Butler
Gas Co. leased the Al and Plum Starr
and dozen other farms in Concord and
and Fairview for gas and oil, in order
to keep up their supply of gas.
The Speechlv excitement came and
they sold some of their leases including
the Al and Plum Starr at what seemed
good figures but which since the strik-
ing of the fourth sand gushers, look
like cents.
The Devonion Oil Co.'S. No. 3, on the
AL Starr was drilled in early last week
and started at 75 barrels an hour, but
had declined to 12 barrels an hour until
about 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon,
when il was drilled for few minutes
and the production increased to 80
barrels an hour. Next morning the
gauge was 1875 barrels an hour, or at the
rate of 1000 barrels a day. For the
first "a hours after drilling it was
thought the wells production would ex-
ceed 8, 500 barrels This well was pre-
viously reported as No. on this farm,
which was an error, No. 4 not having
been started.
Its equal has not been found in any
part of the lower southwest since the
opening of the Sand Fork pool in Lewis
county, W. Va, two years ago. There
is another remarkable thing about this
fourth sand extension. When the old
Modoc, Greece City and Karns City
cross belt was developed, more than 30
years ago, developments were carried
to the west, within sight of the Starr
farm, on which the gusher is located
but dry holes were encountered and it
was thought that the end had been
reached. Even at this late day its dis
covery came in the nature of an ac-
cident The Devonion Oil Company Sc
cured a block of leases, including the
Starr farm, and started to drill for
Speechley Sand producers. When the
first well on the Starr farm was drilled
into the fourth sand last September, it
began to flow at the rate of 25 barrels
an hour, and is still placing 200 barrels
a day to its credit Other companies
and individuals started tc drill in the
immediate vicinity and none but the
Devonion Company found oil in paying
quantities in the fourth sand. This
company's test on the Thompson start
ed at 100 barrels day and is more than
a month old. There is no longer q
chance for an extension to the north,
south or east, but the west is still un-
defined.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

On Saturday last the House passed
the pensions appropriation bill calling
fol $139, 600, 900, without word of de-
bate.
Gen. Littlefelds g subcommittee of the
judiciary committee of the house, which
has been charged with the consideration
of all proposed antitrust legislation,
held its first meeting that day. All bills
which may be introduced while the
question is before the committee will be
referred to this subcommittee as well as
all pending bills.
Senator Beveridge called upon Pres
ident Roosevelt and urged upon him to
veto the omnibus statehood bill when it
came before him. Senator Beveridge
was chairman of tine subcommittee OF
the committee on territories that made
a flying tour through these territories
recently and as result reported to the
senate substitute bill providing for
the admission Of Oklahoma and Indian
territory as one state.
Senator Quay's reported threat to
block all legislation in the Senate until
his fight for the admission of New Mex
leo to statehood is won does not cause
the commotion at that end of the cap1-
tol which might be expected. If he per-
sists in his reputed intention and sue
ceeds in obstructing the business OF Con-
gress he will be doing just what large
section of the Senate would wish him to
do. 1t is fairly well recognized that
there is an inf uential element among
the Senators who are unutterably OPP
posed to the Presidents policies in re-
gard to reciprocity and trust regulation.
They are the ''stand-patters." If Sena-
tor Quay manages to prevent action up
on these matters by his efforts to hold
up legislation until New Mexico is ad-
mitted he will be playing exactly into
their hands, saving them trouble and
the risk of openly obstructing the policy
of the administration. "-Ex.
