which had been, presented would overdraw
his account, while Mr.. Murphy knew he
should have n substantial balance.

Mr.. Murphy's account by Heed and Reeds

CLAFLIN.

From the Clarion
A bright boy baby was born to Mr..
and Mrs. J. c. McDermot Tuesday
morning of this week. This is Mr..
McDermot'S first son.
In view of the fact that the county
convention is to be held in Claflin on
April 9TH, all Woodmen should be on
hand at the next regular meeting
which will be held Friday evening,
Feb. 18th.
If the present congress falls to pass
laws to control the railroads and
trust it will kill the goose that laid the
golden egg, and the Republican party
will have to bear the brunt of proper
condemnation.
Mrs. E. H. Grizzell is now in
Chicago, having been called there
last week, to care for her daughter
Carrie who was taken dangerously i'll
with heart trouble. At one time it
was thought Miss Carrie was past re
covery, but latest word from there
brings the glad news that she is now
thought to be out of danger.
1t is alright to pass tariff and other
laws to protect the infant industries
of our land, but it is soon going to be
pretty hard to convince newspaper
publishers that the paper trust and
the ready print combine are any
longer in the infant class.
The city council met Tuesday
evening to transact its regular month
l. business. A petition signed by
mostly all the business men asking
that the council take some acti ons to-
ward procuring a chemical fire engine
was presented, and after the matter
was thoroughly discussed pro and con,
it was decided to have the clerk to
ascertain from the neighboring towns
what measure of satisfaction their
machines give and the cost of the
machine.

CRAZY OKLAHOMA FARMER
Kills His Wife and Daughter. and Clubs
His Son.

Guthrie, Ok, Feb. 12.-Early en-
Saturday morning James Estes,
farmer living ten miles north of here,
in a fit of insanity murdered his wife,
Sarah Estes, 40 years of age, and his
daughter Mable, 20 years of age,
while they were in bed early this
morning. He then attempted to kill
his 22-year-old son. Lawrence, by
striking him over the head with a
club. Estes then shot his own head
off with a shotgun, after setting fire to
the house. His charred body and
those of his wife and daughter were
taken from the ruins of the house.
The only son, Lawrence, was able
to tell of the crime. He knew of moth :
ing except insanity which would ac-
count for his fathers action. Estes
was well-to-do farmer, owned $40
acres Of land, and, as; far as known,
had no domestic difficulties. Lawrence
Estes was awakened by his father en-
tering his room, holding a lamp in
one hand and stick of stove wood
in the other. Without saying word
the father raised the stick of wood
and struck him. The son partially
warded off the blow and succeeded
in dcdging further attacks. He ran
from the building and to his uncle's
house, about two miles away.

Missouri Pacific Mail Service.

The mail service beteen Great
Bend and Hoisington has always
been more or less of an aggravation.
During the summer season when the
roads were busy, the mail would get
over in the morning from H oisington
when it could. An agitation was
started which finally resulted in the
establishment of star route, making
two trips per day, and which cut out
the railroad mail service. This was
thought to remedy the evil, but IS
worse than ever. The letter mail
which Hoisington people found in the
post Office in the morning under the
old system, does not reach them now
Until after the carrier gets back from
his first trip to this city. We do not
get our Pacific mail until II gets over
on his first trip. Our weekly paper
mail, unless made up in time to catch
On Ills SSCOuO OtCt Ou
Thursday, does not get out of this
post Office until Friday, which throws
the countyseat weeklies to the far
part of the county on Monday.
Taken all in all, the present system is
inconvenient to both cities, and
should be abolished. Weunderstand
the people at Hoisington are as much
dissatisfied as we are in this city.
What is needed is this: The railway
mail service restored, and the railroad
company compelled to get their trains
in here on time. Then one trip a
day leaving here Immediately after
dinner, and returning about six
o'clock. This would. We believe, be a
solution of the trouble. and we would
like to see steps taken which would
bring it about.

Chanute, Kans., Feb. 10-The
Standard Oil Company has discharg-
ed indefinitely its entire field force in
the Kansas Oil fields, throwing, it is
estimated, nine hundred men out of
work.
This move will have a disastrous
effect on the Kansas oil field. 1t
means that the Standard henceforth
will purchase only enoughto run its
two ref1nerieS at Neodesha and Kan
sas City. leaving about sixteen thous-
and barrels of crude oil daily without
a market, and without value. The
Standard ITSELF will not, add the pro-
ducers cannot sell elsewhere, owing
to the prohibitive freight rates put in
to effect since the Standard complet-
ed its pipe line.
The loss to the Kansas oil field
will be over eight thousand dollars
daily. Hundreds of individual pro-
ducers, after filling their storage
tanks, will be in the situation where
they must let the oil run on the
ground or cease pumping, which lat
ter alternative in many cases means
the fuination of the wells. The oil
producers here have been expecting
some such startling move.
WILL INVEST NO MORE IN KANSAS
Kansas City, Mo, Feb. 10-John
| O'Brien, manager of the Prairie Gas
and Oil Co.. the general representa-
tive of the Standard Oil Co. in the
West, said:
"The Standard Oil Co. is not going
to invest another dollar in the Kan
sas field until definite policy has
been decided upon by the State re-
garding the oil business. 1t is mat
ter of business with US, not revenge.
We have spent many millions of dol
lars in Kansas, but will not do anoth-
er stroke of work until we know
where we are at We will take such
oil as we need for refining purposes,
but that is ALL"
The Standards refining capacity
for the field is ten and a half thous
and barrels day. The Underwood
rehneries are not running to their full
capacities. The Kansas field pro
duces about twenty-six thousand bar
rels day.

Guthrie, Ok, Feb. 13.-The Stan
dard Oil Company stopped work on
the construction of the pipe line be-
tween Cleveland. ninety miles north
of here, and Bartlesville, 1. T., this
morning, when the line was within
eight miles of completion. Nothing
was said as to when the work would
be resumed.
Owners of oil wells here were mott
fed this morning that the 400 men at
work on the line had been laid off
and that the work would be sus-
pended indefinitely. The excuse
given to the well owners here was
that the company was limiting its
business and capacity in Kansas, and
conditions were the same here.
