NO MORE PUBLIC OFFICE.
Gov. Bailey Talks of His Retirement from
the Race for Observation-Disclosures
to the Farm.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 1.-The expected
happened when Gov. Bailey announced
the withdrawal of his candidacy for
denomination, but still when the news
spread through the statehouse and
over the hotels, political friends and
political foes alike were shocked. His
passing had to come, but Willis J.
Bailey in his private life is q man of
fine qualities; wholesome, generous
and manly and all men who know him
are sorry that circumstances have put
upon him this humiliation. The men
Of Kansas who hate Gov. Bailey for his
own sake might be counted on the
fingers of two hands. There never
was a more lovable character, or a
more genuine man in the Office of gov
crnor of the state of Kansas. He will
return to the farm in Nemaha county,
followed by the good wishes Of all.
Gov. Bailey had little to say follow
ing his withdrawal. He was humili-
ated, of course, but there was not the
sign Of "squeal" in his talk. He
made no complaint. He took his med
icine" and looked the future squarely

KANSAS GEOLOGICAL WEALTH
Total Cash vaiae OF Mineral Products for
1908 Aggrega tod e3O.OOO.OOO-An
Increase OF S0.OOO.OO0.

Lawrence, Kan, Feb. 1.-Prof. Eras'
mus Haworth. of the University o.
Kansas. state gcologist for Kansas
gave out his annual report for 19O'
on the mineral productions of the state
The report shows a far greater in
crease in the mineral production thar
In any OF the other industries Of the
state. The total amount in cash value
of the various outputs Is estimated al
SIS, 1886, S23.69. This amount does not
include the value of the refined oil
including gasoline and fuel oil, which
Prof. Haworth was unable to report
definitely, but which he says amounts
easily to over S1,000,00O. This would
bring the grand total up to approx
mately S30,0O0,000 for the year just
closed. The total for the year Of 100:
was S23,610,532.90. which shows that
the past year has witnessed an increase
Of over S6000,000 in the value OF the
states mineral productions. The
greater share of this enormous In
crease is due directly to the develop.
ment of the Kansas oil fields, and this
development seems to be only fairly
well started.
Not only do the oil and gas wells
increase the total value by the amount
Of the intrinsic value of the products
Of the wells, but the value Of the allied
products, such as clay products, Port
land cement and the smelling Of min
erals is greatly enhanced by the fuel
supplied by the wells. Prof. Haworth
estimates every dollars worth Of oil
and gas increases the worth Of the
allied industries from IS to Sc. In 100:
over S14,00O.000 of the grand total oil
Kansas mineral products was due tc
the gas wells.
Prof. Haworth looks for an immense
increase over these figures for 1904.
The number Of wells is growing larg-
Ell at an astonishing rate and the price
of oil is also on the rise. According
to the Standard Oil company's statis-
tics the value of the December output
Of the Kansas oil and gas wells was
1888, ASH. Figuring this as an aver
age output for the II months Of 1904
the value of the years output would be
1885,, S67.42. But this does not take
into consideration the rapidly increas-
ing number of wells. In December 16a
producing wells were bored and in
January (up to the 25th) 1S6 producing
wells had been put in. At the end OF
1903 there were 1,427 wells in the Kan
sas fields and Prof. Haworth says that
he has no doubt that the total number
of wells at the end of 1904 will be g.
600. With double the number of wells
there is bound to be great increase
in the output of oil and gas. The in
crease will be much greater also in
the spring and summer months than
1t has been in the winter months.

FRAUDS IN A BALE OF HAY

According to an article in the Cincin.

Gold watch cases are sold by weight,
and no one can see where this lead ia
secreted until the springs of the case are
taken out and the lead will be found Sc
GREETED behind them.
These cases are made by companies who
profess to be honest but furnish the
means to the dishonest to rob the pub.
lie. 1t ia not pleasant for anyone to find
that he has lusgcd a lump OF lead in his
watch case.
Another trick the makers of spurious
solid gold watch cases is to stamp the
case ~. S. Assay" The United States
does not stamp any article made out of
gold and silver except coin, and the fakir,
by using this stamp, wants to make the
public believe that the government had
something to do with the stamping OF
guaranteeing the Gneness of watch cases.
Another trick of the watch fakir is to
advertise watch described as solid
gold filled watch with twenty or twenty
fve-year guarantee. These watches are
generally sent C. o. d., and if the pur-
chaser has paid for the watch, he finds
that the Company which guaranteed the
watch to wear is not in existence.
The Dueber-Hampden Watch Company
of Canton, Ohio, who are constantly ex.
posing these frauds, will furnish the
parscs of the manufacturers who are IN
this questionable business.
