When man has held an Office for one
term and asks for re, electlod, he can
have no better recommendation for re.
electioe than the fact that his record IN
the Office for the term ne has served has
given general satisfaction. Public oiiici-
ais are very carefully watched and espec-
tally by their enemies, political aud 9th
erwise, and 1t is rarely the case that an
official serves out his term without re-
celving more or less criticism. s. ii.

and republican candidate Tor re- election,
has nearly completed his three years
term OF Office and. so Tar MS we are in.

upon his Official acts thnt should have
any weight whatever in turning vote
against him. His performance OF the
duties of the Office has given general sat
isfaction. The opposition parties very
naturally want their candidate elected

end but We have not heard OF them OF.

performance Of the duties OF the office
will give general satisfaction. Leon
kepler has made fair and clean cam
pa,gn. He has not been able to approach
the voters In that smooth and sometimes
winning style of some of the more ex-
perienced politicians but he has made a
frank. open and honest farmer boy cam.
paign and has good reasons to believe
that his campaign has been winning
one. He is not asking the voters for q
third term ot the Office but for n first
term and is asking this against n young
man who has held the office for five
years and we believe that the voters OF
Phillips county will give him what he
asks for.

The subway has been building since
March, 1900. Two years ago the city
was torn up from end to end. A speeta-
tor, looking up Fourth avenue from
Union Square, saw before him a deep
trench extending up the street, peopled
with hundreds of busy workmen. Inter
mittent blasts shook the air. Conveyors
sailed alo'g on overhead cables with
loads of re ok. Contractors wagons jolt

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE LEGAL.
That Is the Decision of the New Hamp-
shire Courts.


The legality of the practice of Chris
tian Science in New Hampshire has been
upheld by the Supreme Court of the
State in ii decision handed down in the
suit of Mrs Jennie Spead of Concord
TO recover damages for injuries as the
result of treatment by Irving w. Tom
hnson, a Christian Science practitioner,
also OF Concord.
Mrs. Spead charged that Tomhnson
had failed to cure her of the illness for
which he treated her, and that her cure
was greatly delayed by the time spent
III taking his teatment. The case was
decided in favor of the defendant in the
lower court and was appealed. The Su-
preme Court now afirms the decision
and dismisses the bill.
In substance, the court holds that the
practice OF Christian Science is legal and
that patients who have resorted to such
treatment cannot recover any damages in
case the practitioner uses the accepted
Christian Science methods of treatment.
1t decides that Christian Science treat
ment is neither negligent nor deeeitful,
and that as Mrs. Spead went to Mr..
TomHnson seeking Christian Science
treatment, it was his duty 10 treat her
by that method, and that she could not
claim that srch method Of treatment was
contrary to public policy.

GET RICH ON OIL.
Many Small Fortunes Being Made by
Indiana Farmers.


Oil has been one of IDdiana's chief
commodities for nearly Ave years, but IT
was only recently that anything like
boom prevailed in the counties where the
production is largest. Oil has been pro-
duced in Delaware, Madison, Grant, Jay
and Randolph counties in paying quanti-
ties ever since natural gas began TO
''play out"
Even now in section Of country 90
miles square, filled with oil drillers, spec
uiators and owners OF producing terri
tory, there is none of that wlldness that
mas characterized other parts or the
country in which the drill has struck
pay sand. No one has made million
ana none expects to turn out fortune 10
tnat amount, but there are numerous IN
cidents where families have been lifted
from poverty TO affiuente. The wolf has
been driven from the door and now con-
tentment reigns where once all was DARK.
Mr.. and Mrs. Elijah Cuff of Liberty
township. Delaware county, will not have
to give up their farm and 60 to the poor
house. Elijah Golf is 81 and his wife
is VI. For years they have been hope
!essiy an debt and less than three months
ago their guardian was contemplating
the step of taking them to the inhrmary.
The guardian, who is also the county
auditor, shrank from telling his aged
charges that the mortgage holders would
wait no longer and that they must leave
the home which they had so years ago
found in the wilderness.
one day party of oil drillers came
To the farm. They obtained the guard
ian's consent and then sent drill down
through the earth. Day after day the
drill pounded away. The old man and
his wife sat in their front yard and
watched the work Mr. Gof could not
quite comprehend what was being done.
One dag there was q shout from the
drillers. They had struck oil. The old
man and his wife win not have to so to
the poor house. The leases on the farm
OF 90 acres will yield them an income
of $3.50 n month The old man. too, will
now have a phaeton, a thing he in his
childish old age has long coveted. but
which until now his guardian could new
er promise him.
Samuel A. Winget had struggled for
years against poverty on his little farm
near Parker City. His income had new
er been more than $500 year and as his
children grew TO young manhood and
young womanhood he longed to see them
get a good education, but he almost de-
SPARED. The driIlers came. They want
ed to put down a test well. The we'll
was a success. One month later the rural
carrier brought Winset an envelope con-
tanning a check for $3.50. He handled
it with trembling hands. He realized
that If the vel held ont he was a rich
man. 1t means so much to his wife and
children. He is now receiving checks
monpnly of from $500 to $500.
The cases Of many others are similar.
Kind fortune has smiled, not or the
wealthy spectators, but upon scores of
hard-working farmers Men who once
went to scan only the hog and grain
markets now receive the oil quotations
by wire. 1t is a sure-thing game for
