Without a single thrill.
He understood that tender look,
He read it like an open book
And knew it meant-a bill.
He looked upon her perfect form
And marked it's Turing graces.

Leniencv Shown

L. H. Craig who was convicted OF
attempted bribery at the last term of
court, was let off with the minimum
sentence. 81 900 fine and year In the
county Jail.
Craig can count himself very fortu
nate that he did not get few years
in the penitentiary. or course he
claims now that he was led into this
business of whiskey selling by Others
and that they have deserted him.
He might have known that any
party who>would persist in running a
business In direct violation of the
laws of this county could not be re-
lied on in case of danger.
Craig will now get to pay his own
fine and serve his own sentence while
the other man, if such there he, goes
free. A man is to be pitied who gets
into such trouble, not because he is
being punished for his crime, but be
cause he does not have sense enough
to let such business alone and lead an
| honest, honorable life.

with receiving from Jacob Fisher OF

.CHANUTE OIL AND GAS
Brief History of Its Develop
mont and Wonderful Pro-
duCtion-SurpasSing Older
Fields of the East.

The development of the Kansas
and Indian Territory oil fields has
progressed to ihe stage when it
seems proper to take an iventory of
the work which has been done and
look into the fntnre so far as it
may be judged in the light of the
past.
The development of this fields
now so we'll advanced and the re-
suits so satisfactory that it's future
development is an assured fact,
and especially so as the older fields
are not responding to the efforts
which are being made to keep the
production up to the point where
they will practically in the future
do as they have in the past. supply
the greater part of the illuminating
oil for the worlds supply.
The first development Of this
field was made by the Standard Oil
Company in the territory surround
ing Neodesha, Buffalo and Thayer.
This development is still being op-
Grated but no very great effort is
being made by that company to IN
crease the production of those
fields. The quality of the oil at
Buffalo is of low grade and at pres
ent not heavily in demand, while
that produced at Neodesha ranks
with the best in the state and
considerable amount of work is be
ing done by independent operators
in that field, with very gratifying
results.
The most active work has been
done in The Chanute field, where on
the first of the current month there
were 3e2 wells producing for the
mouth of September of S2,25o bar
rels, the highest point yet reached ,
and making 72 per cent of the pro-
duction of the entire field for that
month. 1t was argued until re-
Gently that the greater amount OF
the producing land in the Chanute
field was pretty well tested, but
this statement is without fonda
ton, late development indicating
the best portion of the field is yet
to be drilled in the territory lying
southeast of Humboldt and north
east and east of Chanute good
class of wells have been brought in
within the past ninety days
and the prospecting now under
way is adding daily to the value
and extension of this field. There
are now as many rigs at work II
this region as any time in its prev
ious history with little if any signs
of early abatement, and the belief
is now general that the best por
ton of Allen and Neosho countie:
are yet to be found.-Kansas Der

Beautify the School Grounds.

Our public school grounds should be
planted to trees. 1t is shame to let
those grounds remain desolate and
barren when there is water on the
ground with which to keep alive any
thing that may be planted there. We
can conceive of no reason why trees
are not planted and the grounds other
wise beautified. If the school board
will agree to water and care for the
trees we believe that an arrangement
might be made whereby every pupil
above IA years of age would plant q
tree. We have known of instances
where such plan was effectively
carried out and beautiful park was
the result-an ornament to the town
and lasting credit and monument to
the enterprise and energy of the pupils.
We believe lively interest might be
aroused among the pupils by the teach
ers and parents if encouraged by the
school board.

City Election April a1st.

The city election will take place April
2lst instead of April IA. 1t looks as
though there was going to be more or
less of a contest over councilmen and
school directors, in some wards at least.
1t seems to be next to impossible to
have an election without there are two
sides to the thing. But that's what we
have elections for, we suppose-to let
the people decide upon what they want.
We don't know that there are any par
tlcular issues at stake. At least there
are no political party issues at stake,
although there may be party names
used. A city election like this cannot
te made partisan unless party, as an
organization, names ticket-even
though ticket may have party label.
If any of the candidates, or anybody
feels that there are matters of public
interest at stake in this election the
STAR invites them to discuss them in
these columns. We will give about
two columns to either side Gf there are
two sides) of any of the public ques-
tions that citizens may feel disposed to
discuss. We shall only insist upon
moderation and no personal abuse of
anybody. We are all interested in do
ingthe very best thing for Hot Springs,
and if any taxpayer feels that he can
through the columns of this paper say
anything that will enlighten the public
and thus be of good service to the peo-
pie and the town, we shall be glad to
give over some of our space next week.
Send in your communications early as
possible-none later than Tusday
morning, but earlier if possible.

often weep that I'm alive; for l must
rake the dinged old lawn, and cart the
rubbish from the drive. The stuff
that's banked against the house, must
all be wheeled or lugged away; and
must go round in blouse, my hair and
whiskers filled with hay. The garden
will have to spade, and plant the
slckly onion sets; and find out where
the hen has laid, lest she forgets, lest
she forgets. I'll have to WELD the
rusty hoe, and hustle with the garden
rake. until l scream aloud in woe, for
such work makes my yitals ache. I'll
have to weed the lettuce beds, and
plant the little cabbage vines, and drag
the mower from the shed, and clean it
