|Snappy Letter From
Western Oil Fields

Parkersburg, this morning told
me of one company down at Ra-
mona in the Territory that have
a production Of about $4,000 bar
rels on not over 500 or 600 acres
of land.
Practically all the old-timers
from the Pennsylvania and West
Virginia fields are here, and ev-
erything looks hopeful for won
derful development this summer.
The rulings of Secretary Hitch
cock of the Interior department,
make it practically impossible for
the man of limited means to oper-
ate in this field. These rulings
are varied and change every few
days, and it is not practicable to
go into them in detail. The one,
however, which constitutes the
greatest barrier to the small op-
orator is one that requires a de-
post of $4,000 in cash by the
lessee before he can have his
lease approved by the depart
ment. It matters not how small
the lease may be he must put up
$4,000, and if he fails to drill
we'll on the lease he forfeits the
money. If in the meantime all
the lands adjoining his lease
should be drilled by others and
. all be dry it would not release
him He cannot withdraw his
money and forfeit the lease. but
must 60 ahead and spend his
money and drill one well, any
way.
This seems unreasonable and
| drastic, but after all there are
many reasons why it IS a good
rule under the peculiar conditions
that exist here. Chapters might
be written about the fight of the
State Of Kansas with the Stand
ard, and I cannot even attempt
to 90 into it even briefly in this
letter. 1t is situation in some
respects similar to the old fight
Of the independent operators in
Pennsylvania, but in other re-
spects entirely unique.
Governor IIoch is the man on
horseback now, and while the eff
forts of the trust-busters in Kan
sas may not speedily result in
the death of the octopus, yet it is
a movement that will be rich in
results in awakening and educat-
ing public sentiment.
I have spent some time in Kan
sas and Oklahoma, and find that
while new development is absO-
lutely suspended in Kansas, and
the lack Of adequate pipe line ia
cilities is holding back operations
in the Indian Territory and Ok
lahoma; still it is only temporary
and relief will come in some way
before long. The field is now
over 300 miles long, and nobody
knows how wide. 1t is bound to
be a wonderful development.
! I would not advise drillers and
tool dresSers to come here now,
for under present conditions the
supply exceeds the demand.
In conclusion / send you the
! following circular which is being
scattered broadcast on the streets
of Bartlesville this morning. This
proves that politics-like every
| thing else-is strenuous here:
INDEPENDENT TICKET.
For City Marshal.
| will not protect any mig
ger. or any one who does.
This is to learn if we are to
allow niggerS to get planted
among us. I do not want
any one to vote for me who
wants them among us.

I am now anxious to get back

DOCTOR NOW
|S LOCATED.
End Of the Boston Suit Mystery
Case Is In Sight The Pitts
burg Arrest.

BOSTON. Nov. 1.-JuSt before leav
ing his office at police headQuartery
Chief Inspector w. Il. Watts stated
that the doctor who dismcmbered til,
body of Susanna A. Geary. the sui
ease victim, had been located. He die
not expect. however. that any arTes
would be made for Il day or two, init
mating that the police were awaiting
something more definite from Morri,
Nathan. the lover of the girl. who is
now in custody in Pittsburg.
The theory OF the police regarding
the whole affair, in which the most Sc
rious charge in connection with it can
only be manslaughter, is that Miss
Geary went to Il woman and submit
ted TO an illegal operation. The opera
ton was not Il success. but before tho
girl died Il male physician was called
in. and he attempted to a V the girl's
life by a second operation for perito
nitis. Miss Geary died. The doctor
then dismembered the body and dis
tributed portions of it in two suit cases
which We're subsequently found.
The charge against the woman can
only be II of manslaughter. while
according to Superintendent Pierce OF
the local force. ii will be difficult tc
bring any charge against Nathan un.
less he should be accused of cOncealine
a crime.
A dispatch from Pittsburg TO the eff
feet that the P%ittshurg authorities had
stated that there would be an arrest
of Il man and of Il woman was shown
Superintendent Pierce. who regretted
that publicity had been given the
statement. as he believed that it would
defeat the ends of justice.

MISS NOE LEAVES TODAY.

This afternoon, at 4:3O o'clock.
Miss Ida Noe leaves this city via Lee
high Valley railroad for Port Huron,
where she will join the Victoria
Band, a delegation of well known
musicians from New York and vicin-
ity, who will make a ten months
tour of the west, giving high class
concerts in all the principal cities.
The route will probably be extended
to California and down the Pacific
coast.
Miss Noe is one of the foremost
musicians of this city and has at
tanned a remarkable degree of pro-
ficiency for one so young. Her
ability as a pianist ranks among the
best, and as a church organist she
has delighted the congregation of
Simpson NJ. E. church times without
number by her delightful rendition
! of some of the most difficult compo-
sitions. Miss Noe has been assist
ant organist of the church for sever
al years and during the absence of
Mrs. William Hesser, the organist.
gained an enviable renown by COM
ing suddenly to the fore and proving
herself competent TO hold the posi-
ton of organist in a manner entirely
satisfactory.
Miss Noe began her musical edu-
cation when a child, under Mrs.
Robert Macan and her brilliant sue
cess reflects %creditably upon the
teachings of her first instructor.
For a number of years she has sup
plemented her musical education
by studying the pipe organ and has
met with overwhelming success.
For some time Miss Noe has held
a position with the Entire Nous Pub
fishing Company, of New York, and
during that time has played and ar
ranged the majority of musical hits
during the past two seasons. Miss
Noe resigned her position two months
ago to prepare for the winter tour.
She has also had fourteen music
scholars and gave her last lesson
yesterday afternoon.
Those who are acquainted with
Miss Noes playing and with her
musical ability feel confident that
she is well started on the road to-
ward fame and that her position as
accompanist with the Victoria Band.
in which are a num0er of we'll
known soloists and elocutionists,
will add another laurel to her rapid
ly growing wealth.
