Boys Narrow Escape.

Ben Richards, boy living AT 2S19 Adams
avenue, was thrown over the head of a
runaway horse last evening and landed
in the rocky bed of the Twenty-eighth
street ditch. He escaped without seri-
Gus injury though those who watched
the accident are still wondering how ne
escaped death. The boy was riding the
horse north on Adams avenue. when the
animal bolted and raced madly along the
street. The boy had no saddle, but ne
kept the horse in the road. AT the inter
section of Twenty eighth street the horse
collided with "a buggy and the boy was
thrown clear over the animals head into
the ditch

AS the closing date of this sale draws
near there is no abatement in the in
terest taken in its mOney-saving pos
sibilities by wise. discerning people.
Yesterday we sold twelve pianos,
three organs and one piano player,
more instruments than some dealers
sell in three months.
What a wonderful sale it is to be
sure.
But, then, think of the inducements.
Think of buying the best pianos in the
world at prices even less than that
asked by other dealers for the cheap
kind.
Think of buying good pianos at a
saving of $3.50 to $500.
Think of buying high-class dependa-
BILE pianos at 1927, $14S, $l6S. etc. that
other dealers sell at $275, $500 TO $3.50,
Think of buying a guaranteed piano,
new, for only sos.
Or a good, used upright at $4S.
Do you wonder that we are selling on
an average of twelve pianos per day?
Do you wonder that people are TAX
ing advantage of such an opportunity?
We have made piano buying safe,
easy and profitable.
And no amount of fireworks set off,
balloons sent up, or dust thrown in the
air by excited gentlemen will deter
people from looking after their own
interests and buying in this sale.
Neither has the cry of me, too at

According to Mr.. O'Brien's observa-
tions on his present trip, the production
of oil in the Kansas field is now abb
normally light, while there is a cores
ponding increase of activity in the ter
ritories, Bartelsville, /. T., and Cleve-
land, O. T., now being the centers of
the excitement instead of Chanute and
Independence, as was the case a year
or so ago. He found the change espec-
tally noticeable at Cleveland, where no
tel accommodations for the crowds
which throng the town have been found
an utter impossibility.
He attributes the decrease in pro-
duction in the Kansas field quite large
" to the uncertainty regarding the
action of the legislature, and thinks
that the recent cut in the price OF oil
was not the dominant factor
THE cut did not affect Kansas
alone he said. The reduction was
general. and, in fact. was heavier in
the east. where a cut of 5 cents was
made, against 3 cents in the Kansas
field. Then, too, the eastern men with
halt barrel and one barrel wells have
to compete with 25 and SO barrel
wells here, which makes it hard for
them to operate to when
conditions are equal The Kansas
man can make more money with OIL
at 40 or so cents thar the easterner
can at 81.
The result was not al arbitrary
measure, and was simply in OBEDIENCE
to the law of supply and demand In
the Kansas, h and Pennsylvania
fields. the surplus or oil above ground
beyond the needs of current con-
sumption was 5000, 900 barrels greater
at the first of the year than it was in
1904. In California it was almost s.
100000 barrels greater. Russia is
sending out about $4,000 barrels a
day. and some of the smaller produc-
ing countries are beginning to export
oil to this country. outside the field

STANDARD IS
Oil Trust Fears Kansas VIII Adopt
Refinery Measure.

The representatives of the Standard
OIL company would give out the impress
sion that the Standard does not care
whether the legislature passes Senator
Samuel Porter's bill for a state oil re-
fnery and convict labor or not but
still there are lobbyists who are oppos-
ing such a bill and lobbyists do not OPP
pose things unless they have a reason
to believe hat the bills they oppose will
injure the corporations they represent.
A Kansas City paper. in an Interview
published this morning says
!" The state of Kansas will take q
big contract on it's hands if it under
takes to uild a state refinery, as is
roVided by a bill which seems to find
considerable favor in the legislature
said John O'Brien. of Lima, o., general
manager of the Perry Oil and Gas com
pany, one of the numerous ramifca-
lions of the Standard Oil
who was at the Hotel Baltimore last
lei after an inspection trip through
the Kansas field
/" The people that talk about $50. 600 or
500, 600 for a state refinery ought to
visit our plant out at Sugar Creek. and
see how far they think $4,000 would go
toward furnishing the equipment for
that. That plant represents an invest
ment of close to 81, 600, 600, and il isn't
finished yet. Then there is a constant
expense for new equipment. When the
stills are constantly subjected to that
fire, it simply burns them out. As a
friend of mine in an eastern refinery
once said, 1t is all the time tear down
and build up

OIL RUN.
What the Pipe Line Statement of the
Standard Company Shows.

Chanute, Kan, Jan. 27.-The pipe line
statements of the Standard Oil COM
pany for the first 81 days of January
show hat the daily average run of the
lines amounted to more than $4,000 bar
rels. This means a monthly statement
of 744, 600 barrels, which is almost up to
the December statement-the largest in
the history of the field. For the first
week in January the run averaged near
20, 600 barrels a day. Then it dropped Off
nearly 1000 barrels a day and it was
thought that the era of shortened pro-
ductiOn had come. This week, however,
the daily average is greater than ever.
One significant feature of the statement
just issued is the increased amount of
oil being taken by the refineries. Last
month the daily average taken by the
~refineries amounted to 5000 barrels. Fol
the third week in anuary the daily av-
erage taken by the refneries amount
ed to more than 6. 700 barrels. The cause
of this is the increased capacity of the
Standar Oil cOmpany's Kansas City
Sugar Creek refinery.
The monthly statement of operations
in the field is now being compiled and
will be given out next week. 1t Will
show more than 400 new wells. with an
increased production of nearly 5000 bar
rels a day. This will run the total daily
capacity of the field up to more than
40, 900 barrels. Most of the drilling now
is being done in new districts, although
the Chanute and Humboldt districts VIII
show up with more than go wells.

SECRET
The Plan Upon Which Coffee Operates

Coffee is such a secret worker that it
is not suspected as the cause of sick
ness or disease. but there is a very sure
way to find out the ruth.
A lady in Memphis gives an interest
ing experience her husband had with
coffee. 1t seems thai he had been using
it for some time and was an invalid.
The physician in charge shrewdly
suspected that coffee was h Worm
at the root OF the tree and ordered it
discontinued with instructions to use
Postum Food Coffee regularly in its
place.
The wife says: I'VE found that was
the true remedy for his stomach and
heart trouble and we would have glad
~ paid a hundred times the amount of
the doctors charge when we found how
wise his judgment was.
The use of Postum instead of coffee
was begun aObut a year ago. and ii has
made my husband a strong, well man.
He has gained ~thirty-fve pounds in
thai time and his stomach and heart
trouble have all disappeared.
9TH first time I prepared it I did not
boil it long enough and he said there
was something wrong with it. Sure
enough it did taste very fiat. but the
next morning I followed directions
carefully, boiling it for fifteen minutes.
and he remarked this is better than
any of the old coffee.

OUT AT
a Negro Colony Where the Slaves
Stayed All Seasons.

Hill City. Kan, Jan. 27.-In the
short grass country twenty miles
above Stockton on the South solomon
river is the Nicodemus colony 1t is
an example of what has been done
with the southern negro. In the fall
of 1876 and the following spring about
five hundred e~x-slaves came from the
farming regions about Lexington and
Georgetown, Ky. In the previous year
w. r. Hill, now of Hill City, in Ora
lam county, in company with several
negro ministers and philanthropists,
conceived the idea and perfected the
plan for settling the colony at this
place, then a part Of Rocks county
Did settlers on the road between
Nicodemus and kirwln, n nearest
land office, tell of seeing Hill walking
barefooted, with his trouser frayed
to the knees from walking through
the grass and brush. on his way to
look after the interests of the col
onists. The early annals of this col
ony almost equal the story of h Pill
grim Fathers for tales of hardship en-
dured. Very few had horses or teams
at first, and it was not an unusual oc-
currence for a man to walk to Ellis, a
distance of thirty miles, and carry
home a sack of Jour and other pro-
visions for his family. The fuel of the
country at that time consisted of buff
fa1o chips, ~sun1owers n willows of
the thickness of d mans thumb.
There was one other source of in
come-the sale Of bones picked up on
III prairie H.. l. L tCLClAC1 OPCtlCA liz
first store in Graham county at Nico-
demus, in the winter of 1S77-7S. The
first school and the first churc were
here. Nicodemus was not named
from the Bible, but from Nicodemus
the slave, who, it is said, gained fame
by buying his freedom. He came in
the second slave ship which landed on
the shores of America. This is a part
of the song written to his memory:
Nicodemus was a slave of African birth,
And was bought for a bagful of gold.
He was reckoned as a part of the salt of
the earth,
And he died years ago, very old.
Nicodemus was a prophet, at heart he was
wise,
For he told of the battles to come;
How we trembled witt fear when he roll
ed up his eyes,
And we needed the shake of his thumb.
The chorus was changed by the pro-
motors of the colony to read:
Go tell Elijah to hurry up, Pomp.
And meet US under the cottonwood tree,
In the great South Solomon valley to
The city Of Nicodemus at the break of
day.
z. T. Fletcher was also the first
postmaster in Graham county. Nico-
demus was granted a pOstoff1ce on a
