After Joe's Scalp.

The ST. John News is backing the
candidacy of Joe Walters for state
senator. Personally Joe may be all
right, but we doubt very much if he
could carry his own county, and we
know he could not carry either Rice
or Barton county. The old ring is
going to make desperate effort to
elect a majority of both branches of
the state law making body and along
that line Joe is all right as a ''filler,'
but the people of this district don't
want that kind of filters; beside,
Barton county expects to furnish the
man for that position anyhow.-Claf-
lin Clarion.

A GOOD START MADE
Over ST. 200 Raised Monday Night For
Oil and Gas Prospecting.

About twenty-five citizens and bust
ness men gathered at the club rooms
Monday evening" in response to call to
consider the gas and oil proposition.
VIM. Osmond was made chairman of
the meeting, and Chas. V. Brinkman
clerk. The proposition was put be-
fore the meeting by Clayt Moses of
the committee, and others, and pro-
gress and work done by the commit
tee fully explained. The case was
squarely put that if we wished to pro-
coed, it was up to the business men.
By motion it was agreed to take sub
scriptions for stock from those pres
ent at the meeting, then to appoint
committee to canvas the city, and
also to call a meeting for the court
house, and finish the deal up. In
less than fifteen minutes nearly every
person present subscribed for stock,
and more than one-tenthN of the
amount was raised. E. w. Moses,
G. S. Allison, and. w. P. FEEDER were
appointed soliciting committee, and
it was decided to hold mass meeting
in the court house on Saturday, May
28th.
. There seems to be some misunder-
standing concerning the issue of
stock. Every person who gets a
share of stock must pay for the same.
There is no other way to get it
whether you are an officer OF not.
Every stockholder shares in the
unsold stock, which is treasury stock.
Q 100000 shares are on the market at
five cents per share, no more or less
This money is to be used for deveF
opement purposes only. No person
connected with the company gets a
cent, or share of stock, without pay
ing the cash for it. The stock is non
assessable. This is public enter
prise, and if we succeed in finding
something beneath US, those who con
tribute will reap. the benefit, directly
and every other person in the com
. munity indirectly. Any member Of
either the soliciting committee, or the
original committee will receive your
subscription. How much. will you
take? Let us investigate for our owr
benefit.

CHINESE FOR PHONOGRAPH
Latest of the Foreign Tongues or
the Records-Songs of Ali
Nations

Chinese is the latest language to be
added to the long list of photograph
records to be had of songs in foreign
tongues. This list now includes vocal
solos in Flemish, French. German, He
brew, Latin, Norwegian, Polish, Rus
sian, Spanish and Swedish
Many of these records in foreign
tongues are made in this country, says
the New York Sun, from the voices OF
foreign singers. Others are taken in
the native lands of the singers.
Besides operate selections and church
music, these records include songs of
all sorts peculiar to their several coun-
tries and localities. They also include
records of the music of great foreign
bands, and so on.
The Chinese jewellers in New York
are as good buyers Of monographs, in
proportion to their numbers as the
people of any other nationality
