LITTLE OIL DEVELOPMENT.
Producers in the Peru, Kan.,
Field Suffer From a De-
creased Demand.

Peru, Kan, April 30-As result
OF the decreased amount OF oil which
the Standard Oil company is now
taking from the Peru field, the devel
opment OF oil property has been
greatly decreased. This is shown in
the cease OF drilling contractors, many
OF whom are now idle, whereas, two
months ago producers we're almost
begging tor contractors to do their
work. The Standard people are now
taking only 600 barrels daily from
this field with a nominal production
OF 5000 barrels daily.
This is forcing the producer to
either build tanks to store his oil, or
to plug" his wells. The former
means a big expenditure in tanks
which the producer cannot use later
on and besides is a constant source
OF danger on account OF fire; while
the latter process, plugging" is
very injurious to the wells, as it
means subsequent expense ofclean'
ing out before pumping again, and
besides may permanently iniure the
wells.
All oil men consider present condi'
tions merely temporary. Tempo
rary relief is looked for soon from
the pipeline building from here to the
Caney tank farm" This will be
finished in thirty days and should
tide the field over present difficulties
until permanent relief comes from
the building Of the pipeline and re-
finery in Kansas City.

Calls Missouri Divorce Laws
Disgrace to State.

Kansas City, No., April 30.-"Di-
vorce and whisky will send any man
to the devil and the penitentiary.
They are the twin evils Of our civil
isation." Judge Wofford Of the crimi-
nal court made this declaration to.
day while sentencing young man
to the penitentiary.
"Any man who leaves his wife is no
account; any woman who leaves her
husband for any reason is no &C
count. All separations Of married
people are wrong. The divorce laws
Of Missouri are q disgrace and a
shame to the state. A man and wo-

THEME OF The
AHKUND OF SWAT

Creations and not interpretations wiz

present next week in the Opera House
the musical comedy entitled, "The All
kund of Swat The production here
will be the first on any stage and the
progress made with the rehearsals is
sufficient to guarantee a most interest
ing performance. There. are a few rough
places, as where it was impossible to
find among the ranks of the amateurs
of the city exactly the one to inter-
pref the part, but in almost every in
stance there win be noticed the skilled
selection and the whole will combine to
make the piece one of the immense sue
cesses of this city.
The piece revolves about the pres
ence first at a country summer place
of a fakir. who has made up as, and
assumed the part OF, the -Ahkund IF
Swat" an Indian Prince, on tour of
the world. The fakir captures the
fancy of the ladies'. especially of a So
cfety leader. who in turn presents and
vouches for him. The real thing APP
pears ana the uauSnter taxes up with
him until after a couple of arrests the
bona fde princeling comes out all right
and the fakir. is taken into the tolls. To
help along the humor, and for pure fun
in the line and situations there is plenty
of it in the Ahkund There are a farm
er, a soubrette, a Chinese, an English
lord, pork packer, a sailor and all the
other concomitants of comedy of the
day
Musically the comedy will not suffer
by comparison with any thing of the
sort known here. 1t is bright and
catchy. while some of the solos and
duos are inimitable in their swing and
harmony. They will live in the roper
toire of the amateur and professional
by very right of beauty.
The piece will involve some of the
prettiest dressing seen here. The Eiece
employs a score of principals and there
will be fifteen each of the men and
girls of the chorus.
The seat sale opens on Thursday
morning at 8 o'clock and the per-
formances will be on Thursday and
Saturday, May 9Th and 7th.
