INDEPENDENTS ARE
ON SOLID GROUND.

Cherryvale, Kan, July 22.-NOw
that the supreme court has rendered
the decision in which all Kansas is
so greatly interested, the tension has
been somewhat relieved. The why's
and wherefores have been discussed
at every crossroad and on every farm
Not only have the newspapers of
Kansas commented on the ruling, but
practically every paper in the coun-
try has had it's say on the subject.
Here in the heart OF the oil country
producers are very much alive to the
situation. While the loss of the state
refinery is deplored, still it is a fact
that the ruling does not affect other
legislation designed to help producers
4 such, for instance, as the anti-dis-
elimination law, common carrier pipe
line bill, etc
The independent refners and pipe
line men will stand on solid ground
just the same, regardless of the state
refinery bill. AS matter of fact pro-
ducers and consumers are both SAN
guine Of the success of the Uncle Sam
refinery, and pipelines and are as
sured that the company will make
good every promise. Work is being
pushed vigorously on the Kansas
City pipeline, and in a few months
refinery No. 2 will loom up along
the river at Kansas City.
The next move is the location of
refinery in the heart of the territorial
oil fields. with a pipeline to Cherry
vale connecting with the Kansas City
line. This indicates that the Uncle
Sam company is planning on broad
AM9s, and every stoclholder is NOR
ally certain that whatever this COM
pany sets out to do will be accom-
plished.
The Uncle Sam refinery is now run
ming and will shortly be in market
with the Uncle Sam oil. That these
will be the most popular brands of oil
ever sold in the central west, or in
the entire country, is beyond ques
tion.

There probably never was a case in

The young detectives very natural

into the river: and seeing a white OBJ

the old mill building. they made a
trip out into the water to ascertain
what it was Unfortunately for their
theory. it proved to be nothing more
human than dog. But they were
still confident that a crime had been

discovery to police headquarters. Ac-
companied by the city detective, the
chief officer of the police department
went to the scene of the terrible
crime to investigate it.

FOUR YEARS SALARY ONE CENT

Washington, July 22.-The postof-
fee department today issued war
rant in favor of Adriel l.. Stuart of
Freedom. N H., in the sum of one
cent. This is Stuart's pay for carry
ing the mails for four years, between
July /, 1901, and June 30, 1905. from
Freedom to a railroad station seven
and three-fourths miles away. He
travels this distance OF fifteen and a
half miles six times week. His
pay is a quarter of cent year. or
one three hundred and twelfth part of
a cent for one trip. This is the
smallest treasury warrant ever is
sued, and Stuart will have it framed
instead of cashed. He bid this low
figure because of the prestige which
the sign "U S. Mail" on his wagon
gives him in his passenger-carryins
business.

BONES REVEAL FIVE MURDERS
GhastIy Find Is Made in Old House or
Island in kankakee River.

Hammond. Ind, July 22.-Five
skeletons. found in the cellar OF an
old house on Grape island in the Kan
kakee river. built before the war by
a trapper named Steele, reveal Sc
res of murders, stories of which are
vouched for by old settlers. Among
the victims were Steele's wife and
daughter and a cattle buyer named
Darlington of Momence, who disap-
feared in 1861 with $4,000 after
spending the night at Steele's house.
The trapper once narrowly escaped
lynching because of the stories told
about him. The house for years has
been said to be haunted.

great value to the jury, and assisted
largely in bringing out the facts, and
the grand jury hereby tender to him
their sincere thanks for his valuable
assistance during this very difficult in
vestigation.
In view of the corruption exposed
in the Doodle Investigation, we feel
F. that much of this crookedness has
grown out of irregularities heretofore
permitted to pass unnoticed in some
of our primary elections, and this
grand jury feels warranted in the in.
terest of good government, to recon-
mend to future grand juries the ad
visibility of Investigating thoroughly
and vigorously any future effort at
such irregularities which may be at
tempted in primary elections to be
hereafter held. We feel convinced
that if the prosecuting attorney will
use the same diligence in the inves-
tigation of election irregularities in
the future as has characterized him
during the Doodle investigation, some
startling evidence will be brought tc
light.
In prosecuting this investiga tion
we have been prompted by no motive
or influences other than to perform
our sworn duty to the state as grand
jurors. and whatever may be the re
trust our labors may prove to be Of
some benefit to the citizenship Of tn
