Kansas oil fields, and as far south as Bar
tlesville. /. T. The main line extends 116
Kan. From Humboldt branch and lateral
lines connect the Kansas oil fields and
the wells in the Bartlesville territory. The
right of way between Sugar Creek and
Humboldt provides for two pipes. One
pipe will feed the Sugar Creek refinery
and eventually another pipe will be laid
to supplement the present service to SUI
gar Creek to provide an independent
line to Whiting, Ind. 1t is probable, how
ever, that the oil will be pumped both
to Sugar Creek and Whiting over the pipe
Sugar Creek will not be ready to receive
oil for four weeks. This refinery is three
miles from the south limits of Kansas
City. A pumping station has been erected
al Humboldt and another one will be built
in the neighborhood of Paola.
The pipe line from Sugar Creek to the
Kansas fields runs south from Sugar

Prairie Oil company, which is controlled
by tho Standard Gil company. has Gust
been completed into Kansas City II ON
Redfork, across the Usage Indian reserva-

1t will require 10000 barrels to fill the
line before the supply will reach the new
refinery of the Standard Oil company in

The Standard Oil company found that
the production of petroleum was rapidly
decreasing in Pennsylvania, and is help

1t necessary either TO extend the
producing area in the west or lose the
great export business from which the
Standard Oil company has amassed a
large portion of its wealth. Within few
years the production in the Usage field
has increased to 5000 barrels day. This
petroleum in the Indian territory is of
high grade, equal in fact to most of the
oil found in Pennsylvania. The line from

DEATH To MILLIONS.
Kidney Disease Is Sapping the Vigor
anhood-Warner's Safe Cure
the Only Certain Kid
ney Cure.

The kidneys are by all odds the most
important organs of the human body.
They virtually control all the other or
gans.
Should they stop working for even a
few hours the blood would become so
thick and clogged with uric acid and 9TH
er deadly waste matter that the most
powerful heart would break down in the
effort to force it through the veins.
The strongest lungs would collapse try
ing to purify such poisonous blood
Without pure rich, red blood there can
be no health-nO life.
It's true some of us live for months
with sick kidneys, but it is just waiting
for them to get a little worse-they never
cure themselves.
Death is constantly hanging over MS.
1t comes instantly to thousands; with
Backache, headache, rheumatism, sleep
lessness indiges ton, etc, are certain
signs of affected kidneys
Health, though, we can never know
while the kidneys are out of order.
There is but one medicine that's mt to
use for the kidneys-only one remedy that
will positively purify, strengthen and cure
the kidneys without injury to the delicate
cred over 30 years ago and used ever since
by doctors in their families and practice,
and in hospitals throughout the world.

sage from some Salina friends who

They wanted to go out and see the
insane asylum. I told them that the
asylum buildings were not open to the
public on Sundays, but that We could
visit the grounds, which occupy one
of the finest sites in Topeka. We got
on a ear and went out to the asylum.
About twenty other out of town peo-
pie were also on the car going to see
the asylum. When we started to enter
