COLONIZATION OF THE SOUTH
WEST.
Aid and Inducements Offered by the
Missouri Pacific Railway.


The Missouri Pacific Railway is bend
ing every effort towards developing the
agricultural mineral and industrial re-
sources of the West and Southwest. To
attain this end it asks the aid and CO.
operation of every farmer, miner, mer-
chant and professional man along its
lines.
The development of the products of any
section of the country means just so much
more capital to be spent in that section.
Prosperous neighbors make prosperous
community, especially if they live and
have their interests at home.
1t is this class of persons that the Mis-
souri, Pacific Railway asks the patrons
along its lines to invite to their sections.
You furnish the names and addresses,
and we will furnish the necessary de-
scriptive and illustrated literature to in
duce them to settle in your community.
We wish to COLOMBO the West and
Southwest and offer every inducement
in the way of excellent transportation
facilities and low rates to all prospec-
tive settlers and homeseekers.

AN UNOFFICIAL TEST
Of Winfield Gas Well Shows Flow Of
100000 Cubic Feet per Day.

The Winfield Courier says:
The gas well was unoficiaily tested
Friday afternoon by the mayor and five
of the councilmen and found TO have a
capacity of between 60o, 600 and $4,000
cubic feet daily flow. The former test
showed 547 900 cubic feet although the
reports given out at that time were 12o,OOo
cubic feet This was an error, due to
the fact that the figuring made by the
drillers and several of the councilmen
was inaccurate. The official test of the
we'll will be made next week when Eras-
mus Haworth. state geologist. will come
down from Lawrence and make the test.
The mayor and councilmen present are
convinced that the test will come up to
the required amount, $4,000 cubic feet.
If the well tests this, the city is obliged
by CONTRACT to buy it for $4,000 This
sum will not be paid for the gas well
alone. but for the knowledge that there is
gas in this vicinity.
A Courier reporter saw the test made
yesterday afternoon, and was convinced
that there is at least the amount of gas
in the well called for in the contract.
A hydraulic steam pressure gauge show
ed a pressure all the way from 225 to $50
pounds. When the gas was lighted and
allowed TO pass through a two-inch pipe
II threw a flame fully fifty feet, and
roared until 1t was deafening to stand
near it. The drillers turned it on through
a two-inch pipe inside the frame shed.
and il was impossible TO stay within the
shed without stopping up the ears. The
roar from il was more than the ordinary
individual could stand. OF course. this
roar represented the accumulated pres
sure, but even after being allowed to es-
cape for few minutes IL was evident
was the general opinion of those present
that the city in accepting the well. is
getting all il bargained for-and a little
more.
Mr.. Hertzler was asked If the gas sand
had been penetrated after the packer had
been drilled through. but evsded the
question by saying that the well was a
business proposition TO RACES * Co, and
il they fulfilled the contract nobody had
any complaint to make. Mr. Hertzler
was also asked how much the machinery
and well had cost them. and he replied
Between $500 and s1e0"
The present well demonstrates the fact
beyond doubt that Winfield has gas. II
Is seldom that such a good hcw has been
obtained az so shallow a depth and who
knows but that az greater depth the
best wells in the state can not be found
II only takes capital to develop the field
Il IS not a rash prediction 20 make that
within the next two years hundreds OF
gas wells will dot the vicinity Of Win
field and that manufactures by the
scores will find their way here because
OF cheap fuel.

WAS A HALLUcINATIoN.
His Case Pronounced IncurabIe-Prof
Samuels Effected a Cure.

Such work as is being done by this won
derful man is beyond any persons COM
prehension. Who ever would have dreamed
that Wichita possesses such wonderful
person. This case is a puzzle.
Mr.. George Beardslee who lives at 1713
North Water street, relates his expert
ence. His son. Walter. has been af-
fected for years with imagination. He
would imagine that peoale were talking
about him and at times his mind would
wander. He would not talk to any one
and when he would take a notion he
would not speak to any one. AS the
father said, ''at times IL was unbearable TO
get along with him. People that know
him claimed that he was insane on these
subjects. Everything was tried 10 cure
him. Finally We brought him to Prof.
Samuels, about five months ago. and the
change under this man is remarkable.
person would never know from his ac-
tons that there was ever anything the
trouble with him. We are to have this case
made public for the benefit of the pub
lie. for it may be the means of helping
others"
Mr.. Gus Miller, the well known sign
painter on Main street, knows we'll the
case and he remarked that in his esti-
he says that to cure such diff
ficult cases by putting medicine through
the eyes is wonderful. Mr.. Miller re-
marked that he had watched the cures OF
Prof. Samuels, and all he has to say
is that he is a great wonder and should
be upheld by every one in the city.

Indigestion Causes
Catarrh Of the
Stomach.

For many years it has been supposed that
Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia. but the truth is exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re-
peated attacks of indigestion intlames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves of the stomach. thus caus-
ing the glands to secrete mucin instead of
the juices of natural digestion. This is
called Catarrh Of the Stomach.
