OIL FIELD.

Our oil companies are pushing
heir prospecting in this territory to
he limit. They have leases Gov
ering large territory and many
drills at work and more are beng
quipped and set to work just as
fast as they can be secured.
The nice weather we have had
for the past week has been favor
able for work and things are NOV
ing along in satisfactory manner
There are many perplexing ques.
tions that come up in getting such
large enterprises on foot that take
time to iron out. The Southwest
ern Co. and the city conncil have
been trying for some weeks to ar
range their conflicting ideas with
reference to some gas land that wa>
to be turned over by them to the
city in lieu oil land surrendered by
the city.
All matters of difference have
been amicably arranged and the
Southwestern has big new drill on
hand ready to go to work in the bot
toms east If town. The Isett Co.
has two more new drills ordered
that will be set to work as soon as
received.
The other companies are making
the best possible use of all drills on
hand and have rush orders out for
more.
The outlook now is that before
spring there will be 20 or more big
steam drills in this territory pound
ing away for oil. And, if the future
development continues aa favorable
as the present indications warrant,
Chanute will be in the center of
one of the largest and best oil fields
in the United States.
Our envious neighbors may then
turn.up their noses and grin all they
like, Chanute will be The 1t.

" SHAKEN UP.
,everest Earthquake in ears-Thre
Persons Killed md Many
Buildings Demolished in One City.

Mexico City. Mex, January 17.-One
Of the most terrible c~atastrophes eve
recorded in the state Of Guerrero i:
reported to have occurred late yester-
day afternoon when an extremely vic
lent earthquake shock was felt at Chill
pancingo causing a great loss of life
n %injuring many persons.
Details from the stricken district are
very meagre, but scattering reports re-
ceived here indicate that probably SOC
persons were killed and as many more
injured. 1t is known that the state
capitol, the parish church and many
ruins, and there is much suffering as a
result of the awful seismic disturbance.
One of the edificeS hat suffered most
was the federal telegraph office, which
explains the paucity of news that has
so far reached this city. Later, meagre
details began to arrive here. The tele-
giaph lines at ~Chilpaneingo were badl.
damaged, but the employees, all OF
whom are uninjured, quickly proceeded
to erect an improvisec telegraph Of
flee on the outskirts of the city.
The number of deaths were greater in
the parish church than in any single
place, as a crowd of worsh.ppers were
6dlllCISu llClS " IIS dlltI SOOH e
vice. The solid masonry-walled roof
came topping down or the w%orshippers
as if it had been wrenched from its
bearings by a thousand strong hands.
Several people were killed there.
The var department has orderded
the troops in the neighborhood to CO.
or crate in the work CT rescue. Unit
this work Is completed it will be inn
possible to accurately learn the number
of victims. 1t is believed, however,
that this is one of the most destructive
earthquakes that has occurred in Next
&C. The greater part OF the population
of Chilpancingo are now camping out
under trees around the town, which is
five days journey from the national
capital.
Earthquake shocks were felt in many
other cities and towns.
In Mexico City the earthquake took
place at SIT yesterday afternoon and
"a Of such violence as to shake the
most substantial buildings. The Pan
American congress was in. session at
the time and many of the delegates
were greatly alarmed. The first move
ment was one of trepidation and was
very sharp. 1t was followed by an
easier oscillatory movement, north
northeast to South-southwest- The
duration was fifty-five seconds. The
damage in this city was only slight.
The state of Guerrero has always
been the focus of seismic disturbances.
Reports received here tonight state
tina the shock was very severe at
Chilapa. No casualties are SO far re-
ported from there.
In duration the Chilpancingo shock
was less prolonged than that in Mexi-
co City, having lasted fifty seconds.
against ffty-five seconds at h capital.

VIRGINIA ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE.
State COnventiOn-The Sensational
Charges of Illegal Confinement in
unatic Asylum.

Richmond, Va. January 17.-Unusual
interest was aroused this morning at
the session of the a~nti-saloon league
state convention. Rev. DR.. H. E. John
son. Of this city, requested DR.. j. p
Hawthorne to eliminate the sentence in
his speech last night which is to be
printed in pamphlet form. in which he
tion party" DR.. Johnson said DR.. Haw-
t!lorne's remarks We're misleading.
a sensational statement by h Rev.
lanes Suddith. of Lo-.gdale. Va. in
which grave charges are made against
certain persons. was the chief feature
Of the convention.
Sometime ago Mr.. Suddith was arrest
eG charged with lunacv and was sent to
the asylum at Stanton. Va. At pres
,.nI he Is out on furloGgh. and declares
he is still being watched n forced to
promise not to visit certain sections
of the state under threats Of further
incarceration in the asylum. He
charges that he never suffered mental
advancement. that he is now n has
always been in his right senses. and
that he was the victim of a conspiracy
The occurrence. said ar. Suddith. took
place a month ago from last November
In Frederick county. Va. He had been
iisting the whiskey traffic n had
thereby caused the ire Of a number
Of the residents of the community.
According to Mr.. Sudoith's statement
there was no examination whatever
Lnphatically he declares that h com
mitment papers sending him to the
asylum were forged.
Naturally the declarations made By
&r Suddith excite great interest.
