COUNTY SELLS LOTS.
Burton Car Works Addition Is. Dis
posed Of

The county commissioners yesterday
disposed OF all the lots in the Burton Car
Works addition, on a compromise of 81 10
per lot. These lots were sold at fabu-
lOus prices during the boom days to d
trust company. The Burton car works
were erected, making property IN that
part of the city especially valuable, and
large residences covered the addition,
which comprises about 800 lots. After the
price of city property had fallen, the
trust company was unable to dispose of
the property, but sold the houses for
whatever they would bring to avoid pay
ing taxes on vacant property. The houses
We're moved OFF and the county finally
took the lots for unpaid taxes. They
have held the lots ever since, and the
price at which they are disposed of is
less than the amount of taxes due.

THE AMERICAN SPIRIT OF FAIR
PLAY.

If there is any one thing the American
loves. on a level with liberty. it is fair
play
To that robust and unassuming spirit
of righteousness is due much protection
of life and property that the law
alone could not give.
The leaven Of this spirit is visible in
such organizations as the Society for
Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals, and in
that manly feeling in crowd which
will not permit big bully to beat a man
half his size without running the risk of
being himself beaten by an onlooker, as
a sign OF disapproval
But, if such bully merits cOndemna-
ton, what shall be said of the assassin
and the incendiary. and of the gossip
monger. who ruins regulations. starts
run on banks. or poisons the public
mind against a worthy enterprise, for the
mere pleasure of gossiping. or the deeper
design of injuring another to his own
profit?
Small ISLANDERS are smiled at. and pass
ed over lightly. because of the limited
amount Of damage they can do. but when
they are of such a nature and design as
10 corporation is today directed. in this
paper. they assume an Importance which
makes them impressive. and the reader
indignant that there is no law to reach
the offenders.
Fifty million packages of Force"
Food had been sold before it occurred to
some one to circulate a rumor that it
was drugged to promote appetite
The absurdity OF the rumor is apparent
when it is considered that there is not a
single case on record of these fifty mill
ion packages having injured single in
dividual.
Aside from this, the government inspec-
ton OF foods, and the health department
of every city, would have promptly put
a stop TO the sale Of any food sold in
such quantities. which contained any I'M
wholesome ingredient whatever.
That the Force" Company are fully
aware of the insidious nature of such
rumor, and suspect an interested origin.
is shown by their offer of $500 -eware fu-
the conviction of its initiators or cir
culators.
Their further offer of 5000 more for
proof that a single package of the fifty
millions sold contained any injurious
substance whatever Cbeing made solely
from Whole Wheat and Barley. seasoned
with table salt) shows how empty such
rumors can he. and how energeticany
the Force Co. follow up an attempt
upon their market
The magnitude of the injustice done Is
indicated by the fact that it has cost the
Force Company over $4,000 to refute
the rumor in the newspapers of the
United States and Canada. exclusive of
such injury as may have been Temporal
riiy done 10 the sale OF their product.

OIL ON COWSKIN
Petroleum Discovered on Farm
of w. H. Cutter.
RUNS FROM CREEK BANK
Expert Upon Examination
PronoUnceS 1t the Real Thing.

After living on a farm for years, w. H
Cutter who owns farm on the Cowskin.
has discovered that the Shiny substance
which has oozed from the banks Of
streams on his land and gathered on the
surface of pools, is petroleum and while
in the city yesterday. stated that he was
making arrangements to drill for oil i'm
mediately
A chemical analysis has been made of
the substance by an expert. who pro-
nounced it petroleum. of a good quality.
Mr.. Cutters farm is in Waco township,
six miles south of Friends University
and has several streams running through
it. For long time persons living near
there have noticed thick, oily substance
which seeped out through the bank of one
particular stream with the water from
springs. Many thought the substance
was oil. but steps were taken TO find
out what it really was until a few days
ago, when Mr.. Cutter sent to the Hum
bolt oil fields for a man 10 come and ex-
anime the substance and the formation
of the ground surrounding the place
where it was discovered.
Upon examination Mr.. Craw, the ex-
pert from Humbolt, stated that the dark,
oily substance was petroleum and that
the quality was exceptionally good. He
states that the formation of the ground
very much resembles that of we'll known
oil fields, and that the indications for
oil are better than they were at Hum
bolt before the first drill was started.
Mr.. Cutter is very much encoura ged by
the report of Craw, and says that he
will start a drill Immediately. and if
there is oil on his farm he viii find it.

TO FLUSH MIGRANTS
Chief Walden Believes Bad
Water Is in Connection.
WATER FROM JUNE FLOODS
Have Left impurities in Blind
tndS of Companyis Main.

There have been several cases OF ty-
nhoid fever attacks reported within the
past few days. and yesterday Chief Wal
den. of the fire department, requested
the Wichita Water company to flush
every hydrant in the city for i've minutes
at the earliest possible date. as it was
believed that the water standing in the
blind ends of the hydrant connections
had something 70 do with the sickness
which has been noticed, especially in bust
ness buildings where the city water is
used entirely.
At each hydrant connection with the
mains there is a space of ten TO fifteen
feet Of pipe constantly filled with water
This is a blind end" and the water re-
mains in il for months unless the hydrant
is opened.
Chief Walden, Of the fire department,
yesterday stated to the Eagle that he
believed these hydrant connections were
flied with water pumped into the mains
during the flood nearly two months ago
This water. of course, changes but slowly,
and the chief believed that considerable
bad water can be found in the connections
which gradually mixes with the other
water, forced through the mains. Any
Impurities in the water pumped into the
mains during the food collects in the
dead water at the hydrant heads and from
the connections are again started through
the mains If this is true, each of the
blind ends are a menace to the health Of
the people of this city
The only way to remove these impuri-
ties is to flush the hydrants Chief Wal
den yesterday called on Superintendent
Alley, of the Water company, and re-
quested him TO do this allow the fire.
men 10 open each hydrant for five min
utes, which would be sufficient time to
take every impurity that could have col
lected in the connection out Of the mains.
The water furnished this city is as pure
as it is possible to secure it from any
natural sourse. but it was TO be ex-
pected that impurities would get into the
mains during the high water in June. If
this is the cause of the sickness it will
be remedied Immediately.
