An amazing story comes from Lon
don and from no less a place than the
House of Commons. Sir Carne Basch
member for MiddleseX, was known to
be i'll from influenza and was confined
to his bed despite his intense anxiety
to remain in the House Suddenly,
just before recess he was seen by Sir
Gilbert Parker sitting hunched up in i
seat which was not his own. Sir Gil
bert remarked on his appearance to an
other member and the two made some
referenc to the fact that Sir Carne still
looked very i'll. A little while after
wards Sir Carne had disappeared and
enquiry proved that he was as mat
ter of fact he had not been out Of his
bed. The theosophists aver that 1t
was the astral body of the knight which
was seen by his fellow members. Sir
Gilbert Parker, who is very much of
materialist offers no explanation but
simply states what he saw. The dis
tance between the refreshment room of
the House Of Commons and the floor of
the House itself is less than fifty
yards.

harket for Oil Is Better at

Elgin. Kan, Sept. 18.-The Elgin-
Hewins oil field on the state line west
of here furnishes an object lesson
which is powerful in showing the in
equality of the Standards system of
grading oil. The leases have thirteen
producing wells, of which six are
north of the state line while the other
seven are just over the line in the
Usage country. They produce as good
oil as is found anywhere in the mid
continent field with the single except
ion of Muskogee. The production
holds its own steadily at from 225 to
ESQ barrels a day, while the output in
Muskogee is said to be less than this.
The oil here tests easily forty-two
gravity. Muskogee is one degree bet
The Standard fixes the grades under
which it purchases the oil at thirty
two degrees maximum grade. From
this point down each half degree less
of gravity brings five cents less in
price. Thus the 80 degree oil brings
only thirty cents. But no grades up
ward are made. All oil above
80 degree test brings the same
price that 80 degree oil does.
more to the company than
oil of 30 degrees is. just as 30 degree
oil is not worth as much to them as
81 degree oil. Thus if the company
would Tx the grades above 80 degrees
and much of the oil in the field runs
above this grade-the Hewins pro-
ducers would today be getting $3.50 a
barrel for oil that they are now selling
at fifty cents. This is based on the
ten cent to the degree price that the
Standard itself has fixed as the price
Dasls- Not long ago some of the pro-
dueers went from here to the Stan
oard offices in Independence and after
making the above price ANALYSIS ask
ed that they be given more for their
oil. Up to this time, no premium has
been paid for the oil The effect of
this IS felt also upon lease values, A
man with a lease producing the hest
oil in the entire field cannot get more
for 1t than for one producing oil in
ferlor by from one-third to one-fourth.
The oil runs of the last few DAVIS
have taken out all the stored oil from
some parts of this field Some of the
standards gaugers it is said have in
strucuons to take amounts of oil from
their respective districts, which. in
their judgment after making the RIMS
for some time. will take all the nro-
ductton as fast as it can be pumped.
II this actually happens-and it is not
1mprobable-it will be the first time
Tor almost year that all the oil in
any district has been run as fast as
1t could be produced The Standard
run was So, 900 barrels last Thursday,
the largest days run ever made with
the exception of one day when 6S. 600
barrels were taken. Despite the in
creased runs there is every indication
IN THIS part of the field that the in
creased market will see the drills
started again, and that there will he
enough new drilling to hold the pro-
oueuon up TO its present point.

FOR A LARGE RESERVOIR.
Will Be Over Two Miles Long and
Half Mile Wide.


Lakin, Kan, Sept 18.-The pre-
liminary survey has been made and
grade stakes set for the construction
of a large reservoir intended for irri-
cation purposes in a prairie valley
four miles northeast of this place. A
company of Colorado capitalists, who
own the Great Eastern ditch and large
tracts of land supplied by 1t in the
neighborhoOd of Deerheld, Kansas,
seven miles east of here, and are also
reported to be promoting a scheme to
establish a sugar factory at that place,
are behind it.
The site selected is one possessing
many natural advantages. A draw,
which drains a large territory to the
north of the Arkansas river, WidenS
out into valley about half a mile
wide. At the lower end of the select
ed site this valley narrows somewhat.
There is also rise in the bed that
acts as a natural dam, holding back
the water in time of excessive rainfall,
thus forming a large pond. It is pro-
posed to build a dam across this mar
rover space, thus forming reservoir
that will be twenty-five or thirty feet
deep in the deeper parts, half a mile
wide and about two and half miles
long.
The Amazon irrigating ditch passes
along the northwest side of the great
pond affording one means of filling 1t,
should need require. The intention,
however, is to use the Great Eastern
ditch, which. at a lower level, skirts
the southeastern shore. 1t is through
this canal that the waters are to be
utilized. AS in the nature of things
they cannot be recovered by gravity.
the water will be raised back to the
level of the ditch by means of large
pumps.
At the present time the various
bitches in Kansas depend for their
| water supply upon flood waters of the
Arkansas river, the natural flow being
exhausted by the Colorado canals. In
consequence, in time of protracted
drouth, when most needed, they are
often helpless. Now the Great East
ern will be able to store in time of
plenty against the day of need This.
too, marks period in the history of
Kansas irrigation. 1t marks the en-
trance into the state of the Colorado
| system of water storage which has
done so much for that state.
Other reservoirs will be made when
the advantages of this one become ap-
parent. and instead of spending their
energies in useless litigation, while the
floods are rushing by and going to
waste, the people of western Kansas
will store the water.

UNIQUE STATION ON SANTA FEE
Monthly Business of $4,000 Done in
Three Box Cars.

Probably the most unique station on
the lines of the Santa Fe, considering
the business transacted there, is at
Kennedy, above Cerrillos, and the
junction of that system and the new
Santa Fe Central railway from Santa
Fe to Torrance. It is not often that
the eight offices of a great corpora
ton can be found doing business in
three converted box cars but such is
the curious situation at Kennedy and
connected with the station is A. L.
Bean.
With several assistants, including his
wife he does business for the AtchiSon,
Topeka and Santa Fe passenger de-
partment and freight department, the
Santa Fe Central passenger and freight
departments; the Wells Fargo Express
company, two sets of books for the
business of the Santa Fe Central and
the Santa Fe roads respectively; the
Western Union Telegraph company,
the Postal Telegraph company and
the United States Post Office depart
ment. Agent Bean is also train dis
patcher, yardmaster, train master, SUI
perintendent of the eating house sys-
tenn, consisting of the Cottage Hotel
at kennedy, a bureau OF Information
and baggagemaster.
In spite of the fact that three red
siGe-door Sleepers, deprived OF their
trucks and metamorphOsed into sta
tionary edifices, suffice as headquart-
ers for such a large number of offices
Kennedy Junction has big business
| to it's credit at the end of the month
and the agent said the other day that
during one month this summer the
! business for the two railroads at Ken
nedy amounted to between $40, 00O
land $4,000. These are surprisingly
| large figures but are not SO startling
when the number of little hamlets
! that use Kennedy as a shipping point
| are counted up.
1t is said that 500 worth of railway
| tickets were sold at Kennedy in less
than a month recently. But the
freight and express business that is
done over the Santa Fe Central lines
| is growing in most satisfactory
manner and this has had much to &c
with raising the total monthly bust
ness to such large figures.

RAILWAY FIGHT IN COURT.
Arguments on This Week in Cases
Against Eighteen Roads.

Arguments are to be continued this
week before Judge S. H. Bethea in the
United States district court at Chicago
in the cases of the interstate commerce
commission against the Chicago Great
Western railroad and Ii others.
There are two cases against each rail-
road. and it is charged that undue pre-
ference was given to Chicago over other
cities as market because the railroads
from Missouri river points east charge
a higher rate for the shipment of live
stock than for the shipment of live stock
produce In one case there is decision
and order of the commission directing
the CORPORATIONS to change the rate. In
this case a writ is sought to enforce the
order of the commission.
The South Omaha Stock Yards COM
pany is an intervening petitioner in the
cases 1t asserts that If the decree of
