producers from shipping their oil
and they were compelled to ac-
cept Sta:d@;d OH rlltes 1T the
wells. The most remarkable fact
in this connection is that the four
railways involved, the Sante L'e,
the Missouri Pacific, the Frisco
and the NJ ssOuri, Kansas & Texas
absolutely went out Of the lucra-
tive business Of transporting oil
and they did this simply because
the Standard had so commanded.
Speaking to this correspondent,
J. NJ. Parker, secretary OF the
State Oil Producers Association,
said: eff the railways would give
us the orgininal rate of 10 cents
per 100 pounds, or $40 a car, we
would ship all of our oil to Kan
sas City and other points, and it
would give us 81 per barrel at
the well. 1t would give the rail-
ways 100 carloads of freight
every day. But the Standard OIL
Company tells the railroads to
desist from hauling any oil what
ever, and by an cxorbitant rate
forcing us to sell to the Stand
ard, the only market in the fields,
at a price Of At cents per barrel,
which. under the compulsory
rates demanded from the rail-
ways by the trusts, nets the pro-
Queer T cents more than if he had
used the railways"

About Rheumatism.

There are few diseases that in
fict more torture than rheuma-
tism. and there is PROBABLY no
disease for which such a varied
and useless lot of remedies have
been suggested. To say that it
can be cured is, therefore. a bold
statement to make, but Chamber
lain's Pain Balm, which enjoys
an extensive sale, has met with
great success in the treatment OF
this disease. One application of
Pain Balm will relieve the pain,
and hundreds of sufferers have
testified to permanent cures by
it's use. Why suffer when Pain

Some Pertinent Reading
Concerning Oil

to it's specified gravity. 1t was at
this isncture that Standard Oil
sprung it's trap, in which the oil
producers and consumers of Kan
sas and the single independent oil
refner, E. j. Webster, are still
squirming, but with show of life
that astonishes the captor. The
price Of crude oil began to fall.
In four reductions the prices were
cut to y cents for barrel Of
the best oil. Another smash OF
2 cents was made on January 81,
1904. TO what a low level prices
for crude oil had sunk is illus
trated in the following compare
tive table: Western crude oil
prices degree and above, Zoe;
311a to 80, Csc; 81 to 3112, Soc;

The Prairie Oil & Gas Com
pany then made such rules rela-
tive to tests that the owner of a
high quality of oil received no
more tina none whose output was
Of an inferior quality; moreover,
the Standard Oils inspectors did
all the grading. In some IN
stances they graded the oil high
and when the time came to buy
they regarded the same oil in a
lower classification There were
other injustices that aroused IN
tense Indignation among the pro-
ducers. but the worst blow was
vet to fall. AS soon as the Stand
ard had completed its condnts 1t
could transport its oil without
shipping by rail. This the lnde-
pendent dealer could not do. 1t
was then that the railways adj
vanced the rates from 10 cents to
II cents per 100 pounds. In addl-
ton to this, the railways arbI-
trarily ruled t hat gallon should
be held to az instead of 4
pounds. The effect was to raise
the cost of shipping a car of oil
to Kansas City and other river
markets from $40 to 1913. The
further effect was to prevent the

The first important strike in oil
was made by Charles Knapp, six
years ago. at Chanute, near one
of the abandoned properties OF
the Forest Oil Company. a lit
tie later it was found that Peru.
Kan, was located on a vast oil
deposit. Soon nearly every town
lot had it's. oil well, and the Forest
Oil Company returned to the
field with renewed vigor. AS the
business developed the Forest Oil
Company underwent several
changes. It's small capitalization
disappeared, and on January Z,
1901, it took the name of the
Prairie Oil & Gas Company, and
increased its capital stock TO 81
100000. The company then built
pipe lines to Neodesha from Cha
mute and at the latter point a re-
finery was established. In 19O2
the supply of oil was still unsat.
isfactory to the Standard Oil
folk, and in order to create a
boom it suddenly raised the price
of crude oil from 90 cents to $l.lO
barrel. The effect was magical
In twelve months the output grew
from 800 900 barrels with a value
of $2S9.OOO to 1,019,0OO with a
value of $1,12O,O1S. A greater
part of the output was taken by
the Standard Oil Company, but
each way E. J. Webster. who has
built an independent refinery at
Humboldt, Kan, took 200 bar
rels.
In the meantime, Standard Oil
according to Mr.. Gallagher, hao
been whetting it's cimitar with
the intention of striking down
the entire independent oil indus
try of Kansas. The capacity OF
it's plant at Neodesha was added
to it until it had reached 100000
barrels Of crude oil day. The
pipe lines were extended unit
the main conduit ran from Tulsa
in the Usage nation south of the
Kansas State line through Kan
sas to Kansas City, Mo. At Ca
ney, Neodesha, Altoona and
Humboldt, the Prairie Oil & Gas
Company built giant tanks, anc
began to store oil. By January
I, 1905, it had a total stock or
hand of 5,44S,O34 barrels. Unit
last August, when the STANDARD
finished it's system of pipe lines
through the State, oil had beer
bringing prices ranging from
$1.2O to $40 a barrel, according

state Fire Marshal Hy Davis Points
Out Precautions That Should
Be Taken Now.

State Fire Marshal Hy Davis issues
the following timely warning:
please inspect each fiue and heat
er in your dwelling at once, and have
defects remedied before cold weather
demands artificial heating.
"In the chimney look for cracks
from settling, or openings from dis
integration of the mortar or from a
soft brick the crumbling of which
might permit the escape of sparks.
Search stovepipes for misfit or parted
joints, open seams and rust holes. A
stove pipe should not pass perpendic-
ularly into chimney, nor be run
through an area not open to observa-
tion. A double sleeve should sur
round pipe which passes through a
partition and one passing through a
summer kitchen roof is too dangerous
even If the wood near 1t is displaced
by link.
"A stove pipe hole should not be
plugged with paper nor papered over
without metal plug in 1t. Cracks in
stones should be sought and wood
work II within foot and a half of the
stove should be protected by link or
tin. Carelessness as to fiues alone
caused 729 fires in Ohio during a last
year.
"Carelessness. just needless, reck.
less. senseless carelessness costs the
state about seven million dollars q
year. During the first half of 1906
there were 2577 fires with loss OF
$3,946.190. The losses from adjoining
fire, lightning and incendiarism being
subtracted there remain 225S fires
chargeable to the carelessness of the
occupants of the premises"

tion by his loyalty, integrity and abil-
ity, while his personal qualities en-
deared him to the communities in
which he lived. When the present

motion to the position of division
