PROGRESS AT KILDARE WELL

Guthrie, o. T., May 1.-THE Kildare
Record says: The drilling machinery at
the gas we'll near town has been placed
in a new position and the work OF drilling
another we'll commenced. The drilling
Will proceed with more rapidity at this
place. as the drilling party is familiar
with the earth and they are not afraid of
it caving in. The first wen seems TO. be
growing stronger. 1t now shows pres
sure of 1s5 pounds to the square inch al
a distance of an eigth OF a mile, which
will furnish plenty of fuel TO run the ma

seems that they have touched what is
called sheet gas, which is much stronger
and more lasting than the pocket gas,
which is of short duration. One very
strong point for this we'll is the fact
that in all the distance Of $50 feet the
workmen were not bothered with water
or caving. The manager says it is the
best we'll and the prospects are far bet

this well is the quantity of oil discovered.
Last week when the top was opened il

WORKS WELL IN WYOMING
Free School Book Law in That State
Great Success.

q Great SUCCESS.
Guthrie, O. T., May 16.-Secretary Viii
liam Grimes. in advocating a system OF
free text books for Oklahoma, has taken
pains TO secure statistics in regard to
similar systems in states inaugurating
the same in recent years. Today Mr..
Crimes received q letter from State Su-
perintendent Thomas T. lyman of Wyo-
ming, in which he states that the free
text books system Is, ia his estimation
one of the best laws in any statute book.
For the year 1901 the cost per capita for
free books for school children aggregated
$40 and for 1900, fifty cents per capita.
The contracts are made from two to three
years and after the first year the cost is
nominal, being greater the first year
than any of the remaining years of the
contract Under the contract now exist
ing in Wyoming, the cost for books per
capita for the remaining years OF the
contract will be very small, compared
with the cost To the parents of children
before the free text book system was ad-
opted.
Secretary Grimes has come to the con-
clusion that after the first year Of a con-
tract has expired that the cost to ok
ahoma people under this system would
be very small. and that by experience in
such matters it could be more reduced
than ever. Mr.. Grimes has written other
letters concerning this system and when
the time comes FOR the Republican con-
vention at Enid, viii have secured much
Information Of interest to the people
of the territory in regard TO this system.
From indications now, party leaders over
the territory are anxious to have a spec
isl plank in the territorial platform de-
claring for free text books

ABOUT IRA TERRELL's CASE
Warden Jewett Explains the Oklahoma
ConVict's Contentious.

Guthrie, 0. T, May 17.-Warden z. 3.
Jewett Of the Lansing penitentiary in
Kansas was in the city today to settle
up with The territory for the care of ok
lahoma convicts now confined in the
Kansas. penitentiary. Auditor Baxter is
sued warrant for ss,6l76O for the care
Of convicts for the quarter ending March
81. AT that time there were 25S prisoners
registered from Oklahoma. Thirty-five
prisoners were received from the terri
tory during the quarter and thirty-three
prisoners discharged; s495 of the amount
of the warrant was spent for clothing for
the discharged prisoners and sl65 cash was
used for prisoners discharged from that
Institution.
IN speaking about the TerriH case, War
den Jewett said: "Rhe Terrin matter will
be heard in the Kansas Supreme court on
the second day of July. Terrill has rails
ed several questions which may affect
the entire number Of prisoners in the in
stltution. He first states that in the court
which he was tried. the last journal en-
try was made out for a federal court, but
he alleges that he was tried and convicted
in a district court He also alleges that
under the laws Of Kansas. the st9te OF
ficials are not warranted iE contracting
for the care of prisoners outside of the
territory. neither have the officials Of the
territory power to deport territorial pris-
oners from the territory for confinement"
There is a question whether or not Ter
riI is the proper persons to bring this
action. We're it q, taxpayer in Kansas
who claimed to be injured by contracting
for the care Of prisoners outside of the
state, the meter would be different.
The attorney general viii represent the
territory at the hearing Of the case.
