FROM TERRITORY FIELDS.
Standard Buying Little Oil in Kan
sas Now.

Peru. Kan, Feb s28.-A curious situ-
alton regarding the taking of oil by the
Prairie Oil and Gas company prevails:
The producers in the northern end OF
the field say that the oil is all or near
" all taken from the southern end,
while down here the producers are COM
planning that they cannot deliver all OF
their oil. The figures given out by the
Prairie Oil and Gas company show that
the pipe line runs for the week ending
February 81 averaged more than 21,O00
barrels a day. This IS just 2,eoO barrels
a day less than the company was tax
ing at the time of the shutdown, Feb
ruary 10.
There is norway of telling where the
oil is coming from as the pipe line re
ports do not show the origin OF the
shipments, but it is certainty, II the
word of the producers. is to be believed
at all that not more than half OF tins
oil is coming from Kansas. The rest OF
is it coming from the Indian territory
and Oklahoma In fact the operators
do not believe that the Prairie Oil and
Gas company is taking 10000 barrels
day in Kansas. It is believed that 5000
barrels a day out Of Kansas Will come
nearer hitting off the figures
This connection means that the
Standard is taking practically al OF
the territory oil and only a suuncleht
quantity of the Kansas product to say
that it is still in the market This IS
reasona BILE hyrDthesis when it is UNI
derstOod that the Standard is heavily
interested in production in the terri
tories, and owns quite q NUMBER OF
wells in it's name in Oklahoma, there
being some eight or ten OF them at
Cleveland as well as some wells IN IN
dian Territory in its own name ana IN
the name of it's friends to say nothing
of the wells on the celebrated roster
Usage lease.
This continuance of the shutting off
process as applied to Kansas oil has
nut the operators in no very good frame
Of mind nor has it made them less de-
termined to bring the Standard to book
for all it has done in the past as wen
as all if is doing now. And at the same
time. so far as Peru and this vicinity
is concerned, the state refinery VIII not
be the only form of competition the
Standard will have IN southern Kan
sas.
The new independent pipe line which
the Pennsylyanians owning the rennery
at Warren will build across the ex-
IRENE southeastern corner of the state
will afford a market for some 1000 bar
rels of oil a day, and this, with the
/ !. 900 barrels required for the state re-
6nerv. will make a demand for 5,OOo
barrels a dav of new oil The state re-
fnerv viii be in this town and the pipe
line of the Pennsylvanians will run
through Caney. which is only ten miles
distant SO it will be easy enough to
make a connection with by branch line
This nuts the producer here in state
of hopeful anticipation of better mar
ket.

PARLIAMENTARY ROW.
One Has Developed in Japan Over
Some Contracts.

Toxic, Feb. 2S.-The diet has adopt
ed the report and settled the accounts
of the committee appointed to invesfi-
gate the questions arising over the
contracts for the construction of bar
racks at Hokkaido. pronouncing the
expenditure thereon illegal and I'M
warrantable. The ruling of the chair
preventing a vote on the question of
addressing the emperor on the sub
ject produced a turbulent scene dur
ing the closing hour of the discussion,
the diet being angered because Secre-
tary of War Teraoutchi said that he
was answerable to the sovereign and
not to the diet The diet committee
summoned NJ. Teraoutchi before the
diet and briefly questioned him or the
subject of the contracts which were
let before his entrance into the min
iStry.
TIL opponents of the government
admit that NJ. Teraoutchi is blameless
in the matter.
1t is expected that Chief Quarter
master Tomatsu, who resigned after
assuming the responsibility Of the con-
tracts under discussion. will be re-
stored to his position.

RUMoR THAT WASN'T TRUE.
Air Was Full of Story About Woman
Being Killed With Axe.

This is a newspaper story of a psy-
Geological kind, just to demonstrate
how susceptible the ordinary human
mind is to believing and transmitting a
rumor.
Topeka has a rather CORY recent muir
der record. While the police were busy
working on the Jodry case on Monday
noon, some one brought a story to the
station that Frank Zimmerman, who
has a restaurant at lis Kansas avenue,
had killed his wife with an ak at their
home 1O4 Quincy street.
It was not ten minutes after the Cos
sip had commenced, that probably so
people who either were loafng about
the station to see what was going on.
or waiting for the inquest to be held at
Shellabarger's undertaking rooms had
heard and believed the story.
County Attorney Hungate and Sheriff
Lucas were both apprised of it and said
that an investigation would be made.
Coroner Keith had been told, and he too
was making preparations for another
inquest Detective Joe Ross Of the po-
lice force was just getting ready to
start out to look up the matter, when
he was called to the Jodry inquest.
The telephone rang at the station
and some one asked Jailer Smith
whether Zimmerman had yet been ar

the validity of the story. so far as those
about the station was concerned.

PIONEER OF GRAHAM COUNTY
NIr. Coder, Who Is Visiting Topeka,
Located There in 1873.

S. N. Coder, of Hill City, is a Topeka
visitor for a few weeks. He is here
in the interests of the National Drill
and Manufacturing company. of Chi
cago, he being their state agent, and
the firm expects to open headquarters
IN Topeka.
Mr.. Coder located in Graham coun-
ty in 1878, before that county was
organized. He has witnessed all the
troubles the county was afflicted with
in those early times, including hot
winds and county seat contests. In
the first fight for county seat the vote
was divided among five towns, Nico-
demus. Roscoe, A1illbrook, Gettysburg
and Hill City. In the second fight
Roscoe and Nicodemus dropped out,
and in the final roundup the race was
between Millbrook and Hill City. the
latter winning.
Mr. Coder was elected treasurer of
Graham county in 1884, serving two
terms. He was the lone delegate
from his county in the Republican
state convention in 1882, which nomi-
mated the coIored man, E. P. McCabe,
of Graham county, for state auditor.
Mr. Coder also helped locate the first
postomce in the county, named Whit
field, situated on Bow creek, named
in honor of General Whitfield, Of ter
ritoriaI times.
Speaking of politics in Graham
county, Mr.. Coder- says that his county
was noted for voting for good men.
on the county sent. Dave Hanna to the
legislature. and the people were so
pleased with his record that they
brought him out for lieutenant gov
ernor and gave him a majority they
are proud OFF, besides increased his
majorityDfIs his reelection. Now they
have John Dawson, who is assistant
attorney general. All three good and
true men in office and other business
avocations. AS to the future, Mr..
Coder says: I'VE expect to keep up
and do as well in the future polit-
ically.''
Mr.. Coder is the owner of the
Spring Valley stock farm, adjoining
Hill City, and containing several hun
dred acres. He is breeding black
Galloway cattle, his occupation at
home being raising cattle and feed.
Mr.. Coder speaks encouragingly of
Hill City and Graham county. He has
witnessed the prosperity in her farms
and the building up of Hill City, a
town which had a greater era of build
ing in 1904 than any other place in
the Sixth district and he anticipates
quite as active building prosperity this
year.

TO RUSH GAS LINE.
To Put 1000 Men at Work on the
Kansas City Branch.

Chanute, Kas-, Feb. 2S.-The Kan
sas Natural Gas company, which is to
supply Kansas City, Kas., with natural
gas through the WyandOtte Gas COM
pany'S mains, will put a large force of
men at work on it's line to Kansas
City in a few days. 1t was the inten-
ton of the company to begin rushing

10. but the cold weather interfered.
Nearly all of the pine for the line be-

The Ottawa force, as soon as the
second crossing is completed over the

For most of the way to Kansas City
the pipe line will run along the right

Santa Fe- The company made a con-
tract to that effect with the railroad
company several months ago. The
length of the line will be approx
mately 200 miles and it will require
nearly 1000 carloads of pipe to lay
it. 1t is one of the longest gas lines
in the United States.

WILL BUY MORE OIL.
Products Expect to See Standard Try
to Keep Out Independents.


Humboldt, Kan. Feb. 2s-The belief
is general throughout the oil belt that
two things are going to happen right
after the adjournment of the legislature.
One is that the Standard Oil company
is going to resume buying all the oil
in the efild and this belief is so strong
that many plants now shut down are
preparing to resume within the next few
days. The other thing to which the
producer is looking forward and on
which many Of them have wagered viii
come to pass is that prices viii begin
TO go up within the next thirty days
and that they will keep going UP until
they have reached last years level. The
reason for this is that the Standard
does not desire competition and the only
way to fOrestall this opposition is to
put the price up so high that the in
dependents will hesitate before coming
in. There are those, however, who say
the Independents Will come anyway and
that this old trick of the Standard viii
not deceive anybody at all familiar with
the oil business. Be that as it may there
is a confident expectation of better
prices and of more pipe line runs in
every district in the field.
A thing which has occasiOned COM
ment is that in every district the oil OF
tee or the officers of the producers as
ISOLATION is being run. At Chanute the
oil belonging to Crawford and COnuei-
ley, members of the advisory board. and
at Peru the oil belonging to Senator
Lockwood at epsndence is all run
first. it has been suggested that per-
haps the Standard in pursuing this
policy. is doing it. not so much for thu
purpose of attempting to placate those
who are opposing 1t in the state. but
to discredit the officials with the rank
and file of the members of the associa-
ton.
There is little development work being
done through the field. In cases where
TrfI has n F1p n
the work is going on, but in most parts
of the field there has been an entire
cessation of drilling and il is not be-
lieved that the monthly report of opera
lions which will be issued Thursday
will show more than 275 wells drilled in
the state during this month.

SOUTHERNER'S GOOD FORTUNE.
Sam Hoover Finds Something Better
Than Gold Mines.

There is no happier man in this
whole wide world today than sam
A. Hoover, of Greensboro. N. c., who
is receiving the congratulations of his
friends upon his fortunate find of
something better than gold mines or
oil wells. Mr.. Hoover in a letter to a
friend in Topeka writes:
Three months ago I was greatly
distressed by nasal catarrh and en-
tire deafness in the right ear. The
labor of hawking and scraping to get
my throat and nasal passages free
from the foul secretions deposited
there, might be about equal to that
of six-mule team with a road scraper
to get the earth from the roadside to
the center.
Il purchased an outfit of Hyomei
and Hyomei balm, and as a result of
its use my head. throat and nasal pas
sages are all free from secretions of
any sort. only as Nature designed,

TOGO DELIVERS STAGGERING
BLOW.
Most Tremendous Sea Battle of
Modern History.

In the great naval battle fought
Saturday and Sunday in the Struts Of
Korea the Japanese obtained a COM
,plete and overwhelming victory. Late
advices show that Rojestvensky's
fleet, composed of all of his most
effective and powerful ships, was COM
pletely shattered.
According to the latest information
two Russian battleships, one coast de-
Tense armor-clad ship, five cruisers,
two special service ships and three
destroyers were sunk, and there were
captured two battleships, two coast de-
tense armor-clad ships and one special
service ship.
Admiral Rojestvensky's flagship
escaped badly damage, and with other
ships of his broken feet are being pur-
sued by the victorious japanese. Rear
Admiral Nebogatoff, however, was
captured with 5000 prisoners.
1t seems probable that in their Grip
PIED condition other Russian vessels
will fall into the hands of the Japanese
before they can reach Vladivostok,
while London rumors say several
Japanese vessels were lost.
Admiral Togo officially reports that
his squadron was not damaged.
A number of Russian vessels still
remain near Shanghai, but it is evil
dent that the fighting force of the
great fleet has been destroyed.
No details of the battle have yet
been permitted to pass the japanese
censor, but Toxic dispatches make it
clear that Admiral Togo is pressing
his advantage and harassing the Rus
sian vessels which are attempting to
take refuge at Vladivostok and will
make more complete his already
sweeping victory.
