The North Topeka Development asso-
citation met again last evening to hear
reports from committees previously ap-
pointed. Owing to the absence of Sec
rotary f. p. Elmore. Henry Ruechuer
served as secretary. President Hathaway
read several letters from persons in In
diana and elsewhere pertaining to well
drilling and prospecting for oil or gas
subscriptions reported So names already
secured at $50 each. 1t was suggested
that shares be reduced TO SIS each. but
on suggestion Of Mr. Aaron Sheetz that
any two persons might unite and put in
S25 each the original proposition was all
lowed to stand. A committee on per-
nlanent organization was appointed con-
sisting of G. F. KimbaI John J.
Schenck. o. d skinner. DR. NJ. B.
Mitchell and J. 3. Billiard with instruc-
tons to report at next meeting a form
of constitution and bylaws with rules
for regulating the further prosecution Of
the enterprise. About 100 persons were
present representing the best business
men of the First ward. There was
manifest a deep interest in the pronos-
ed enterprise and instead of test capital
of $500 as at first proposed it is be-
neved that $4,000 may easily be secured
Instead Of limiting subscriptions to one
share of $50 each it seemed that two
shares Of 800 may be made the limit
1T seems to be well understood that
whatever sum may be raised il may be
expended as a test fund and no one will
feel that he is a loser if no great find
is made.
