VIII Ship Soil and Alfalfa Seed
to Far OFF Florida.
Queer Request an EmpOria Citi-
zen Has Received.
HAS A GERM THEORY.
Pillow First Crop Under in Order
to Get Good Stand.
New York Paper Doubts Five
Crops a Year Statement.

Enporia, June GOV. s. Williamson
Will ship TO Aqua, Fla, in q few days
a few ounces of alfalfa seed and about
twice as much soil from his farm. Some
time ago the Emporia papers contained
a statement that Mr.. Williamson had
procured I'VE crops of hay in one year
from his alfalfa field. The matter was
taken up by newspapers all over the
country and the New York Sun had an
editorial on the matter. The Sun doubt
ed whether five crops could really be
harvested from one field. Since the ar
ticle appeared in the Sun. Mr.. William
son has received many requests for
seed and soil from his farm.
The man in Florida wants some of
the soil from Mr.. Williamson's farm
that he may inoculate his farm with
Kansas alfalfa germs. 1t has been dis
covered that by inoculating soil with
certain kinds of microbes different
fruits and vegetables may produce two
and three fold their ordinary amounts,
and the Florida man believes II he can
get the Kansas alfalfa germ started on
his farm he can greatly increase his al
falfa crop.
Mr.. Williamson is also a believer in
the germ theory. He says that if one
sowing OF alfalfa doesn't do well the
best way to get good stand 1t to
pillow the old field under and replant,
the theory being that the germs which
have collected on one big alfalfa plant
Will divide themselves among the num-
erous smaller plants and thus make
them thrive. If your farm isn't pro
ducing an abundance Of the kind Of
crop you desire. just discover the germ
that will make it grow and vaccinate
the soil with it.

Ran Away Because of a scoIdlng.

Wichita, June SO.-Clara Johnson, a
14-year-old colored girl, disappeared
from her home on North Santa. Fe ave
nue. last Wednesday evening and at a
late hour last night no clue to her
whereabou had been discovered by
her parents, who have been searching
for her continuously since her sudden
departure. The girl appropriated $50
of her mothers money, on the previous
Sunday, and had been severely repri-
manded for her nisdeneanor. She and
her mother had just returned home
from down town and as they were en-
tering the house the daughter turned
and silently left. Her mother asked
her question, and, hearing no reply
she repeated the question, and, turn
ing for her answer, discovered that her
daughter had disappeared From that
time she has seen nothing of the girl
The officers have been notified and are
searching for her. Her friends firmly
believe that she is still in the city, all
though her mother was told by a friend
yesterday that he had seen Clara in
Parsons.

Claim $50 Darrell Well.

The Louisiana Development company
shot its No. 3 on the Davis land north
east of the city Saturday. 1t is one of
the best wells in the field. 1t will easily
make anywhere from one hundred and
fifty to two hundred barrels a day. This
well was drilled in about two months ago
but the company, on account of their
poor facilities at that time for handling
their product decided not to shoot the
we'll until a later date. The well is a fine
one Ever since its being drilled in two
months ago it has been flowing a steady
stream of oil, through the casing and
down the sides of the little hill on which
it is located. When it was shot and
tubed Saturday the sight was a splendid
one Oil was thrown in a column high
above the derrick, breaking as the wind
caught it, into a fine black spray that lu-
bricated the country for hundreds of feet
around. The most conservative estimate
is $50 barrels a day and those who have
seen the well claim it will do more

NIoRMoNs Ar CHANUTE.
Singing So Poor 1t Drives the People
Away From Them

Away From Them.
Chanute, June 30-The Mormon elders
are having too much competition on
Main street these evenings and it is
probable that their contemplated all
summer stay will be greatly shortened.
With two medicine shows, negro
minstrel show at the Hetrick, and Ii
brary benefit at the Methodist church,
the faithful elders played to brick pave
ment and popcorn wagon on South Lin
coin avenue last evening. A Tribune
reporter, attracted by an unearthly
noise in that direction, discovered the
two elders singing right Justify Their
zeal could be complimented with better
grace than their voices, which for some
reason or other, did not seem to blend
exactly. Song after song was sung but
the crowd failed to come. Every now
and then some street loafer who usual
ly stands around with mouth open at
any kind of a street performance
would drift near, but the music would
invariably prove too much even for
that species and he would soon have
business elsewhere.
The elders may be able to stir up
conmotion in a town like Thayer till
public sentiment gets excited enough
to move them along, but they haven't
even been able to make people here
listen to them yet. It is possible that
Thayer run them out of town on ac-
count of their singing. 1t was certainly
provocation enough.

ception of what it is to be. There is
already one tank completed and an
other one finished excepting the roof,
and four others under construction.
There are to be 40 tanks when all are
done. Each tank is 96 Z feet across,
by IS = feet high or 27O feet in cir

100 tons of steel plate, 10 feet by
5 feet inches, one half inch thick
there are $50 plates of this steel in
the bottom, $50 plates in the shell
and 400 sheets used on the roof, 1t
takes 1000 rivets to put one of these
tanks together and there are rivets

1,40Q pounds of rivets used in each
