seen that, with any luck at all, the
Bankers Oil Co. stock will sell at
80 cents within a few months.
They have let a contract with
John McCready, of the Star Drill
ing Co., for the drilling of three
wells as soon as same can be put
down. Drilling will commence this
week on the farm of Robt. Young,
and will be Immediately followed
by one on the farm of John Lynch.
1t is expected that not less than
twenty wells will be sunk on the
company's leases between now and
January Ist, and if the company
has as good luck as they have a
right to expect, stock will undoubt-
eddy reach par by January Ist.
They have nearly 1000 acres
leased, beginning just soute of the
south brick yard and extending to
carlton, taking in all the Big Tur-
key Creek bottom, and are adding
to the area all the time.
Taking it all in all, we think this
is one of the strongest companies
that has been launched here, and at
the price they are selling their stock
it certainly looks to be a good
speculation. The company is in
corporated under the laws of South
Dakota, which does away with the
double liability objection of the
Kansas laws, so the amount you pay
for your stock is all you will ever
be called upon to pay.
Altogether, we will say that we
think well of the company, and be-
lieve that it has the elements of sue
cess in its makeup.
And we wish them much success.

When horse picks up nail in his
foot what does the driver do? Does
he whip the limping, tagging animal
and force him along? Not unless he
wants to ruin the horse. Az the first
sign of lameness he jumps down, ex-
amines the foot and carefully removes
the cause OF the lameness. What Is
called "weak stomach" is like the
lameness of the horse, only to be cured
by removing the cause Of the trouble.
II you stimulate the stomach with
"whiskey medicines" you keep 1t go
ing, but every day the condition Is
growing worse. A few doses sometimes
of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery will put disordered stomachs
and their allied organs of digestion
and nutrition In perfect condition.
Ninety eight times in every hundred
"Golden Medical Discovery" will cure
the worst ailments originating IN dis
eases of the stomach. 1t always helps.
1t almost always cures. To cure con-
stipation use DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pei
let's. They're sure.

Memorial Services.

Williams opera house could hardly
contain the throngs that assembled
last Sunday morning to witness the
memorial exercises. Time may each
year deplete the ranks Of the comrades
Of days gone by. but there seems no
diminutiOn In the numbers that year
Iy gather to do honor to the Unions
preservers.
The veterans Of the city and the
ladies of the Circle and Relief Corps
formed in line on East Main, where
they were joined and preceded by Co.
D and the Presbyterian Boys Brig
ade, and marched in body to the
opera house, which was tastefully
decorated with the Stars and Stripes.
Rev. Harris Of the Christian church
was chosen presiding officer and made
a few appropriate opening remarks.
After scriptural reading by Rev. w.
B. Moody, and the opening prayer by
Rev. W. M. Gray, followed by sing
ing, the memorial sermon was preach
ed by Rev. A. J. MacMurtry, pastor
Of the Presbyterian church.
The speakers subject was "Our
Heritage" and he showed how,
through the labors and sacrifices of
our fathers and mothers. we have
fallen heir, as 1t were, to the priceless
blessings of liberty and happiness
which we enjoy today. The old SOL
diers came In for a guodly share Of
well merited praise for the part they
took In the great struggle of 1875,
and were, declared the speaker, he
roes, every one. Mr.. MacMurtry clos.
ed his remarks with an earnest plea
for the rigid enforcement of all laws
In general, and said some cutting
things about certain city councils
apparent obliviousness to the exist
ence Of an alleged stencil, resembling
the fetid odor blown from the rear
terminus Of Missouri brewery, which
he claimed to have detected on Ger
tain Main street IN this city.
The sermon gave general satisfac.
tion and the speaker was frequently
applauded.

THINGS THAT / HAVE NEVER SEEN.

Some people see the strangest kind of things.
Their tales awake Ia me mild surprise,
One said he saw brick walk round house,
Another saw blacksmith shooting flies.
doubt these tales altho' they're oft repeated
By folk who know and see more things than l.,
Yet this I swear, that tho I've travelled widely
Ineveryst have seen pie plant pie.
I've also been in different cities
Where life in all its phases one may meet.
And tho I've always kept my eyes about me
I've never seen an arc light in the street.
I've always tried to see what happened round
me,
think I'm quite observing, asa rule,
And tho think the sight would not astound me
I've never seen q black board In school.
It's also true I never have been able
To zee paper weight upon table.
And tho most Eealously always look,
I've never seen 4 cat fish IN brook.
Who thinks he sees these things, his eyes deceive
him,
And till 1 am e9svinced won't believe him.

THE BANKERS OIL AND GAS
COMPANY.

Accompany was formed here las
week which promises to be one O.
the leading factors in the future de
velopment of this oil field. 1t is,
with one exception, composed
wholly of bankers, and its directory
is composed as follows:
James T. Bradley, Pres; Presi
dent First National Bank, Sedan.
Kan. also National Bank Examiner.
John R. Llndburg, Vice-president;
President First National Bank, Pitts
burg, Kan.
Geo. N. Lindsay, Treas. Cashier
National Bank of Chanute.
D. M. Kennedy, Sec; Vice-pres-
ident First National Bank of Cha
mute.
R. c. Rawlings, Manager.
Other directors are: James Pat.
NOR, Cashier National Bank, Pitts
burg, Kan; E. E. Ames, Vice
Pres. First National Bank of Nor
ton, Kan, also National Bank Elk

American State Bank, Wichita, KS. i;
c. E. Denton, Vice-Pres. Attica
Exchange Bank, Attica, Kan; w.
S. Falls, Cashier National Bank of
Commerce, Garnett, Kan.
With this strong directory it is
little wonder that they we're selling
stock in the concern even before
they had any printing done, and
now just one week after organizing,
they report half of the first lot of
treasury stock sold. This is not to
be wondered at, however, as in adj
dition to having such strong COM
pany, they have some of the best
leases in the district.
Another big factor in disposing
of such large quantity of their
stock in, such short time has been
the cheapness of same, the first SO, :
900 shares being put on the market
at the very low rate of 10 cents per
share. And when we consider the
fact that companies which ten
months ago had no better prospect
than the Bankers has now are now
selling their stock readily at IS
cents per share, it can be easily

noying errors have inadvertently crept
into the editorial columns of the Pain
Dealer. We are glad to say that such
errors will be obviated hereafter West
Point Plain Dealer.
We know by two years. experience
with friend Lipscomb that he is a
good newspaper man, and only learn
now when it is too late that he has a
proof-reading machine that is in
