WHEAT TO MARKET.
Mcpherson Mills Purchase $4,000
Bushels in -Four Days.

Mcpherson, Kan, Oct. 26.-The
buying of wheat continues to increase
every day. The price still ranges from
ninety cents to a dollar a bushel.
The last four days have been busy
ones for the Mcpherson millers and
grain buyers. Saturday was a banner
day and perhaps more wheat was
brought to town on that day than any
other day for many years. Including
what was sold to the mills and eleva-
tors there was at least twenty-five
thousand bushels brought to town. In
the last four week days Colburn Bros.
bought 1875, 1928, 1857, $3.50 BUSH
els and the Pearl mill 500, 700, 1900,
500 bushels. The wide difference in
amounts between these two is partly
due to the fact that the Pearl mill is
so crowded that. they were forced to
take only wheat above ninety cents.
The Colburn Bros mill has a ca
pacity of over one hundred thousand
bushels but is filling UP fast. The
present conditions indicate that the
good prices will keep up for the whole
winter.

RUSH THE PIPE LINE.
When Completed viii Deliver Oil from
NIuskogee to Bayonne, N. j.

Independence. Kas., Oct. 26.-Work
on the Standards pipe line from Kan
sas City to Whiting. Ind, has been
! commenced and ten miles of the line
has already been laid. This will be
gratifying news to those who believe
the competition of the Whiting line
will settle for all time the question of
an outlet and market for the Kansas
and Indian Territory oil. Many oil
men believe the prices of oil will not
go any lower after this gateway has
| been constructed
! The Stan dard has been working on
the Whiting line a great deal longer
than the public has been aware of,
and in fact had the right of way Sc
cured before any information concern
ing it was given out. AS soon as the
Kansas City pipe line was completed
the men who had been working on
that were put to work on the Whiting
line. Over 5 miles of pipe has already
been received and has been strung
along the right of way. The rest of it
is being made by the mills and shipped
as fast as possible.
The present force of men is divided
into two gangs, one of which is work
ing on the Kansas City end and the
other has started in at a point about
so miles further east. In few weeks
from now 1900 to 1900 men will be
at work.
The pipe is eight inches in diameter,
and it is expected to have the line COM
pleted to Whiting, Ind, early next
summer, probably about June l.
There will be several pumping stations
en- route. When completed it will re-
quire several weeks for the oil to
travel from Kansas City to it's destina-
ton. 1t will then be possible for the
Standard to start oil in it's line at Mus
kogee and pump it to Bayonne. n. ].
1t will in truth be the longest pipe line
in the world. It is almost impossible
to conceive the immensely of such an
achievement. A few years ago the
suggestion of such an undertaking
would have been sufficient cause for
commitment to a lunatic asylum. In
fact when the Kansas City-Whiting
line was first mentioned only a few
months ago, the Oil City Derrick, the
Standards recognized official paper,
branded it as a pipe dream

an ex-treasurer. This matter was set
tied out of court entirely on Mr.. Row
ett's findings and the assistant treas
urer who was the real defaulter, is
still in the penitentiary.
For over five years Mr.. Rowett was
private secretary and general auditor
for the Jacob Dold Packing company.
During the Is years he has been in this
country he has, on several occasions,
been sent to Europe, particularly Lon
don. on confidential financial matters,
his acquaintance giving him wide in
fiuence on both sides the Atlantic.
4 In 1897 he was chosen second vice
president of the National Association
of Accountants and >Bookkeepers, and
the following year he was unanimously
chosen president at the convention in
Detroit. During these years, also, he
was president of the accountants asso-
citation of both the Kansas Citys.
When Governor Bailey appointed Mr..
Rowett as state accountant it was dis
tinctly understood that the appoint
ment was made and accepted on bust
ness principles Mr. Rowett says per-
sonality and individuals do not enter
into an accountants work; that an ac-
countant simply finds out what the
records show, and the records show for
themselves.

Wisconsin territory, partitioned from
Michigan territory, had been organized
at Mineral Point, July 4, 1886.
The first Legislature met at Belmont,
October 25. Then ensued long struggle
over the location of the permanent seat
of government. There were seventeen
applicants Fond du Lac, Dubuque, Port
age, Helena, Milwaukee. Racine, Bel
mont. Mineral Point, Platteyille, Green
Bay, Cassville, Belleview, Koshkonong,
Wisconsinapolis, Peru. Wisconsin City,
and Madison), several of them existing
only on maps issued by real estate ''boom-
ers.' Madison, one Of the latter class,
won, through the influence of James
Duane Doty, who had been circuit judge
for Michigan territory, west of Lake
Michigan. He, together with Stevens L.
Mason. governor Of Michigan territory,
had. just previous to the contest, pur.
chased from the United States govern
ment about 1000 acres in sections 13, II,
% and "a, in township Z, range 9 east.
The Capitol park, which they laid out,
Is upon the common corners of these Sec
tions; it was formally decided to the ter
ritory by the owners, in document dated
Mineral Point, January Is, 1889, and
still preserved in the state archives. The
prospective town was called Madison,
from the fourth President Of the United
States. The first house was Quilt in
Madison in the spring of 1887. In June.

work was commenced upon the capitol;
its corner stone was laid with appropriate
ceremonies upon July t.
The Legislature met for the first time
in Madison, November 20, 1888. The
capitol was not then in a suitable condi-
ton for the sessions, which were held
in the basement of the old American
house, where Gov. Dodge delivered his
annual message. Here the Legislature
met and adjourned from day to day, un-
til temporary arrangements could be made
for the reception Of members in the AS
sembly hall. During 1886 and 1887, the
national government appropriated $4,000
for the capitol. Dane county $1,000, and
the territorial Legislature about $4,000,
making the complete cost Of the old capi-
col $4,000. The building, when finished,
was a substantial structure, which, in
architectural design and convenience Of
arrangements, at the time compared ia
vorably with capitols of adjacent and
Older states.
The capitol proving inadequate to the
growing wants Of the state, the Legisla-
ture of 1857 provided for its enlarge
ment. By this act, the commissioners Of
school and university lands were directed
to sell the ten sections of land appro-
priated by Congress ''for the completion
OF public buildings" and apply the pro-
ceeds toward charging and improving the
capitol. The state also approprla ted $780,

A Freak of Sound Waves.

Talking about vibra tions,'' said an or
ganlst, reminds me of most peculiar
fact. in regard to the acoustic properties
OF st. James church, here in town. Be
fore the new organ was installed there
was one spot in the rear of the church
where the sound waves came together in
such manner that person sitting there
could hardly hear a sound while the Or
gan was being played. The explanation
is quite simple. 1t seems that at this
very spot the waves vibrating from each
side Of the church came together at un-
even intervals, forming q break in the
wave series and neutralzing the sound
entirely. The new organ was placed so
as to overcome this difficulty | have

given by the city Of Madison The work
was begun in the fall of 1857. and con-
tinued from year to year until 1869 when
the dome (the most satisfactory portion Of
the structure) was completed.
The Legislature of 1882 appropriated
100000 for the construction Of two trans
verse wings to the capitol, one on the
north and the other on the south sides
thereof, in order to provide additional
room for the State Historical society, the
supreme court, the state library and for
the increasing stats Of the state offices.
November 8, 1883, the south wing fell
while in process of construction, on acct
dent which led to the death Of eight work
men. The height of the building from
the basement to the top of the flagstaff
is 2251a feet, while the total length from
north to south Exclusive Of steps and

for the enlargement Of the capitol and for

ent time are about 100000.
