A SHALLOW OIL WELL.
Sand Shot at $50 Feet in n Property
Near CoffeyviIle.

Coffeyville, Kan. Aug. 31.-Without
a doubt one of the shallowest oil wells
on record is that of the Wisden No. 1.
four miles west of town. The well is
owned by r. L. Plunkett of this city,
and others. The pay sand was struck
at 1S0 feet and the well shot The
showing was good, and considering
the depth, the well is a bonanza
There have been rumors of wells,
water wells that flowed oil at fifty
feet, even men digging post holes
have been reported to have found the
crude product, but when it comes to
a regular full hedged oiler shot and
completed at $50 feet, it's getting near
the limit for shallow sand producers.
The Wisden farm is new territory. and
doubtless if good oil can be found at
such a shallow depth, it means a rush
to the new field. Several wells will
be put down Immediately on this
lease.

He was arrested soon afterward and
placed in Jail. Three hours later,
when the officers went to the cell to
take the prisoner into court, they
found him hanging by his neck dead
The cage had not been broken into
but he had a forty foot rope around
his neck and his head was drawn up
to a hole in the cell about eight inches
in width and not over four feet from
the floor, used to pass food through
to the prisoners. His feet were tied
close together with cords. There is
no cIew to the perpetrators.

Martin Lueck of Juneau, was made

manent chairman. The nomination of
Ex-Governor Peck, of Milwaukee, for
governor is conceded. There are sew

The convention is expected to make a
recommendation with reference to the
United States senatorship and the gen.
tlemen who are looking for that IA
vor are:
Former Senator William F. Villas,
Congressman c. H. Weisse, Mayor
Rose, of Milwaukee, Neal Brown of
WauSau and T. f. Ryan of Waukesha.
The platform will denounce the ex-
travagance of the present Republican
administration and declare for primary
election reform.
In the course of his speech Martin
L. Lueck, the temporary chairman,
said:
There is a pressing necessity to
secure for the people from public ser
vice corporations a fair return for the
favors bestowed upon them, through
laws of this state. Democrats con-
tend that there is no inherent power
existing anywhere to take private
property except for the necessities of
government or TO promote the public
welfare.
"And where private enterprise,
whether engaged in the railway, tele-
phone, telegraph or other business as
sumes and is clothed with authority
belonging to the sovereignty of the
state, such private enterprise becomes
a part of the public business and must
submit to give the control that will
fully protect the rights of the people.

Mr.. Hill briefly discussed the tariff

by the convention of Judge Parker's s

amendment of the platform in accord

TAYLOR MEN WIN.
Boss Buster Faction Lose the Osborne
County Fight. F''

Osborne. Kan.,- Aug. 31.-Tuesday,
September will mark the close of a
very spirited legislative contest in Os-
borne county, that being the date of
the Republican nominating convention.
The contest has been between J. B.
Taylor, of Alton, the present represen-
tative, and John A. Morton, of Osborne
The later has had the backing of the
element which bolted a portion of the
Republican ticket two years ago. The
loyal Republican workers of the coun-
ty have stood steadfastly by Mr.. Tay-
lor, and nave won decisive victories in
every precinct where caucuses have al
ready been held. Out of 81 delegates
elected up to. date, all of them are for
Taylor. The early returns were so over
in favor of Mr.. Taylor that
the Morton adherents lost heart, and
now concede Mr.. Taylor's denomination
by acclamation. The caucuses in the
three wards of Osborne were held last
night. The Taylor men were out in
force and the seventeen delegates elect
ed are all Taylor men. Mr.. Taylors
majority at the election this fall it is
believed will be the largest given

held up the express messenger of the
westbound oregon Short Line passen-

said today that he was positive of the
identity of the robbers and was con-
hdent he would have them in custody
by night. The scuff1e attending the
robbery last night attracted the atten-
ton of the station telegraph operator,
and a number of switchmen across
the tracks. They rushed toward the
express car, but were Immediately
compelled to throw up their hands
by the robbers After securing the
money the robbers marched the ex-

into the express office, locked them in
and disappeared.

SENATOR CLARK is PURSUED.
Attacked by Man Who Thought He
Had a Bird.

Missoula, Mont, Aug 31.-Senator
Clark was attacked today by a man
known as Joe Peg, who thought the
senator had been breaking the game
laws and was carrying a grouse in his
pocket and who threatened to take
the senator's life. Peg followed the
senator several blocks, persistently
calling upon him to hand over the
grouse. Senator Clark ran painting to
the lobby of the Florence hotel and
demanded protection. He was sure
that Peg had a gun, for several times
the latter had made motions to pull it
and threatened to shoot unless the
senator gave up his game bird. Sew
eral persons sprang to his assistance
and the man was overpowered.

What the Records Show About
COmanche Bonds.
Everyone Held by School Fund
Is in Default.
FROM AUDITORS OFFICE
State Holds Nearly $4,000 of
Comanche Securities.
Two Thousand Of This Declared
Fraudulent.
Interesting Facts About Action
of Commissioners.
FROM AUDITORS OFFICE

One of the charges made by the State
journal in the Conanche county bond
deal was that the state school fund al
ready holds bonds of Comanche county
which are in default. Nothing has been
said about this or any other particular
charge made by the State Journal. In
the action by which the school fund
commissioners hoped to bluff this paper
into silence a wholesale denial is made.
The State Journal today took the
trouble to investigate this feature of
the case and the following facts are
taken from the official records in the
office of the state auditor:
There are 27 Comanche county bonds
owned by the state school fund, exclus-
i've of the $123.0OO recently purchased,
and every one of the 81 bonds is in de-
fault. Some of them were due as far
back as 1891.
The following is a complete list of the
Comanche bonds owned by the school
fund, the amount due on each, and the
date when the bond fell due.

forms. The present campaign on the
part of the Republicans, the ex-sen-
ator declared, "is one of humbug and
false etenses-peculiarly Roosevelt

The president through himself and his
late private secretary manage and di-
rect every detail, while experienced
political managers of long service in
the party are brushed aside and ig-
nored."

continued, had particularly desired
to impress upon the country the
greatness or goodness of his deeds,
but has preferred to refrain from
communicating to the public directly
through his messages or addresses.

with political affairs, but who possess

whereby he might better reach the
public ear and influence public
opinion
Mr. Hill then cited a magazine ar
ticle by William Allen White on the
subject of How Roosevelt Uncovered
the Postal Frauds" and proceeded at
considerable length to analyze the
article in question. He said it was an
effort to convince the people that the
president was not responsible for the
postal frauds in his administration,
and that ding his long
neglect to prosecute them he was
really the exalted instrument which
exposed them. If the article was not
dictated at the White House the
speaker declared, it was at least in
spired there. 1t would fail of it's pur-
pose, however, because it is not true
because it has been embellished for
political effect and will not stand the
test of examination.

former senator went on, "an attack
