With the improvements made on the streets by the town this spring, the sidewalks built and streets cleaned, the town presents a fine appearance. Buildings are going up in the residence portions, and a stranger landing here now could not help but be impressed by the neat appearance of the place, and the general air of prosperity and confidence in the town shown by the improvements being made, even though the business done by the stores during this dull season of the year is comparatively small.

We do not hear very much about
independent refneries lately, neither
do we about pipe lines to pipe the gas
away. We are of the opinion that
capitalists will be slow to invest in
piping scheme that taxes so much
capital and will meet with such
strenuous opposition on every hand.
We are now told that the new pipe
line to Kansas City will be completed
and taking oil by Oct. 1st. We hope
lis may be true. When the new line
is in what splendid time it will be
for the Standard company to do the
fair thing by the Chanute field aud
wipe out that imaginary line between
the north and south Neodesha fields.
There never has been any sense or
reason why the southern part of the
Kansas field should receive zoe per
barrel more for its oil than the north
ern part. We are inclined to think
this will be done. Then if prices are
maintained that would give US 90c
Ter barrel for our oil instead of zoe.
That would amount to a handsome
sum of extra money to the field dur
ing year and is only just and right.

serious accident last Saturday. He in
tended going to Harris on the K,

get onto the train while it was in motion.

have been killed. As it was. he narrowly
escaped death. He was thrown to the
ground, his head striking on the depot
platform. and with such force that his
skull was fractured and he was rendered
unconscious.

Few newspapers in the United States
are able to command the services of as
brilliant corps of correspondents as
that OF The Chicago Record. Herald. Its
choice Of n Washington correspondent
is indicative OF rhc Record. Herald's pol
icy of obtaining the best that is to be
had. Walter Wellman, the well-known
authority on political subjects and one
of the ablest writer's of the dav, acts in
that capacity.
Mr.. Wclman was born in Mentor,
Ohio, Nov. 1858 At the age of tour
teen he began his newspaper experience,
establishing at that age weekly paper
in the little town of Sutton, Nebraska
In 1879 he returned to Ohio, and year
later established the Cincinatti Evening
Post. In 1884 he became the Washing
ton correspondent of the Chicago Herald,
and in 1902 lie visi ed Central America
and the West Indies. and located the
landing place of Columbus on Watling's
(San Salvador) leland, and marked the
spot with a huge stone monument. Mr..
Wcllmans dashes to the north pole are
we'll known. In 1894 he made the first
of his two arctic voyages of exploration,
reaching the latitude of 81 degrees
northeast OF Sptzbergcn. In 1893 he
returned to the North, penetrated to
Franz Joseph Land, returning again to
this country in 1889. On each trih he
met with wonderful success in the dis
covery of new islands and lands, and
brought back with him scientific data
and information of great value to the
American Geographical Society
Mr.. Wclman has been voluminous
writer for scientific magazines and pop.
ular periodicals. On returning from his
arctic trips he renewed his connection
with the Record Herald. and is now the
Washington correspondent of that pa
per HIS incisive discussion of contem.
porarv affairs has given him high place
in the regard oi statesmen and scientists
of the dav
