JUDGE POLLOCK LEAVES.
Goes With Family to Spend Summer
in Canada.

Judge Pollock with his wife and
daughter Lucille left on Sunday even
ing for their summer vacation. They
will go directly to their cottage on
Moon river in Canada, and will not
return to Topeka before September 5.
Judge Pollock's departure was rath-
er sudden for he himself last week
gave out statement that he would
not be able to go for several days, due
to the present busy session in his court
on account of the furry in local finan-
cial circles. His daughter Lucille has
been sick for some time. however. She
is much improved, but it was thought
best that she go north as soon as pos
sible. For that reason. and because
the immediate matters in connection
with the Devlin failure have been
threshed out in the federal court,
Judge Pollock left yesterday.
w. P. Hackney of Winfield accom-
panied the Pollock family. Henry Dill
lard, the bailiff of the federal court,
who has acted as "body guard to
judges on the federal bench for the
last fifty years, more or less, went
along again this summer. He is an
adept in the camping business and a
noted chef.

CREW IS DROWNED
SunIxen Submarine Boat Has Not Yet
Been Raised.

Paris, July 10.-Dispatches reaching
the ministry of marine show that the
authorities at Bizerta, Tunis, continue
their tedious efforts to raise the sub
marine boat Farfadet with the expec-
tation of taking out the corpses of the
imprisoned crew. Cables were again
passed under the boat today but the
rescuers were unable to bring her to
the surface. A large floating derrick
is now over the sunken boat and it is
hoped that this will permit of raising
the submarine today. The futile efforts
to rescue the imprisoned men shook
up the boat. loosening the cap and
permitting water to enter the interior
orifice for the admission of air and
also served to admit water in other
ways. One of the last messages from
the interior of the -Farfadet was:
Hurry. Water gaining" Since
then complete silence has prevailed
within, the divers rope being unan-
swered. Therefore it is believed that
those who escaped being smothered
were drowned.

HE'S ON WARPkTH'
Coroner Keith VIII Quit Trying
to Save Money.
Thinks Commissioners Don't
Appreciate His Efforts.
TO CHARGE FULL PRICE
Also Expects to Hold Inquests
When He Pleases.
County Commissioners Say They
Are Not Frightened.
TO CHARGE FULL PRICE

Coroner H. H. Keith and the county
authorities are in a clash over the pay
ment of coroner's fees and DR.. Keith,
in letter to the board of county COM
m1ssloners, has given notice that here
after he will hold inquests, whenever
he thinks them advisable, and he will
charge to the county all fees which he
can charge by law and that hereafter
he will not attempt to hold down ex-
penses.
The trouble arose over the holding up
of two of DR.. Keith's claims for June by
County Auditor r. H. Cav. The two
claims were for investigations of deaths,
by the coroner, and were for SO each.
Mr.. Cav explains that the claims were
held up because they were not properly
made out and that when DR.. Keith files
properly itemized claims against the
county the trouble will be over.
Dr. Keith, however, considers the
holding up of his claim as a good rea-
son for his threat. In letter to tlse
board of county commissioners DR..
Keith said that he had tried to follow
the wishes of the. board of county COM
missioners in not holding inquests when
he thought personal investigation, in
his official capacity. would be sufficient.
1nquests cost from $35 to SIS and person
al Investigations by the coroner cost
usually $3. DIR. Keith stated that here
after he would hold inquests and charge
the county the full fees allowed by, law
for coroner's services, for post mortem
examinations, for jurors and for wit
nesses. He remarked in his letter that
If there was anything wrong with his
claims that it would be easy to notify
him as he has six telephones
The county commissioners are not
alarmed at DR.. Keith's threat and If he
puts in fee and expense accounts larger
than the board of commissioners thinks
necessary the board will refuse to pay
them and then DR.. Keith may sue in
the courts If he wishes to.
I'VE are not at all alarmed by DR..
Keith's threat said one of the commits
sioners. Perhaps the board will find 1t
necessary to issue an official signed
statement if the matter grows into a
contest between the coroner and the
board, and if there is any cause for it
such a statement will be issued
For several years the board of COM
missioners has tried to keep down the
expenses of inQuests by having the cor
oner make an investigation, instead of
holding an inquest, where there was
no need for an inquest. In this manner
the expense of the coroner's depart
ment has been kept down. The ex-
penses of inquests for several years past
have been as follows: For the fiscal
year ending June go 1896, 81, ,102; 1897,
S57s; 1898. s., ,0S4; 1899, 1868; 1900. 81 Psi

The great pipe lines, owned and con-
troIled by home people. will put to route
the well kAown oil thieves of the west and
compel Justice to both the consumer and
producer. Over 1.5o0 Kansas taxpayers are
stockholders in the Uncle Sam refineries
and pipe lines and unlimited financial aid
is pouring in from every state in the un-
ion. While the gang of oil conspirators
chuclxle, as usual, when they have defeat
ed the will Of the people, they have, how
ever, caused thousands of new recruits to
rally under the Uncle Sam banner and
work that is practical goes forward with
renewed energy.
With over 5000 acres of oil lands and
nearly half the pipe secured for a pipe
line to navigable waters on the grounds,
and money enough in sight to complete
this line, with one great refinery now in
operation, with thousands of barrels of oil
in storage and more going into storage
every hour-owning their own production
and backed by nine-tenths of the honest
people in the central west, the great inde-
pendent Uncle Sam refinery and pipe line
enterprise offers a safe investment and
one that will strike a blow for justice in
the oil fields. Stock is bound to increase
in solid value five fold in the next four
months. Where can you find another in
vestment that is even one-third as good?
Refinery No. will be built on the banks
of navigable waters, where, unhindered
end free from any robber consoiracies,
our products can be marketed by boats
along the nations waterways. The COM
pany will also complete a fuel oil line to
central Nebraska and build refinery No. 8
in central Oklahoma, where representa-
tives of the company are now securing
valuable oil holdings. When the balance
of the treasury stock is sold the company
will have properties worth a cash
basis five million dollars 1t will be to
the west what the Pure Oil company is
in Pennsylvania Mr.. Samuel Hunter, who
has charge of the construction work, anu
is under a three-year contract to the I'm
Gle Sam company, was former business
associate of Tarben of the Pure Oil COM
pany in Pennsylvania, who is a brother to
Miss Ida Tarbell. When you line up with
the Uncle Sam company you invest with
an enterprise that has the right kind of
people at the helm. The Uncle Sam COM
pany is working in good faith and the
stock is the greatest investment in Amer
lea and time will prove that statement
true.

Boy Can Sometimes Learn From His
Father.
When you catch them young enough
you can usually make your sons profit
by your own experience.
Afterwards, it's different A lady
tells how her son was made to profit
by what his father had learned:
my husband was always fond of
coffee, and after his business took him
frequently into a German community
he drank it more, with the result that
his kidneys became affected, and he
suffered greatly with pains and des-
pondency, till, as he says, coffee
nearly killed met So he stopped US
ing it, and began to drink Postum
Coffee 1t cured him; and in a very
short time his kidneys resumed their
normal functions, his pains were al
layed, and the dependency which had
nearly driven him crazy ceased to
trouble him..
MY little boy, a year old, had suf-
fered ever since he was weaned, from
stomach and bowel troubles. He could
not properly digest the milk he drank.
1t passed out of his bowels in hard
Jumps sometimes large and again like
small pellets, frequently producing
diarrhoea, and then we would have to
call in the doctor. But the trouble
returned, again and again.
1--WE used to give him taste of
Postum Coffee occasionally, and as I
saw that he relished it and realized
how much good it had done his faith
er, began to put little in his bottle
of milk The effect was so salutary
that gradually increased the guam
tity. till at last l used only enough
milk to give it color. He thrived won
derfully on it. He is over two years
old now, and his digestion is all right
Postum has made him uncommonly
large and strong and healthy. 1 give

Still More Assets.

In addition to the above
mentioned properties and
assets of the Uncle Sam Co.
we have one great refinery
completed at Cherryvale,
pany over a QUARTER of a
MILLION dollars and it is
PAID FOR and also have
thousands of dollars in the
treasury and over ($110,0G0) .
ONE HUNDRED AND 7
TEN THOUSAND DOL 4
LARS subscribed on gilt-G&
edge installment contracts
which will be all paid in
during the next 4 months.
This gives the company a
steady inflow of cash of
close to ONE THOUSAND =
DOLLARS per day, be-
sides the income from tie
refined oil it will soon he
selling. So you see this is a
pretty strong financial con-
Germ and it is growing
stronger every hou~.I makes
no debts, but PAYS AS IT
GOES, which is another fact
that every investor shoIIIj
bear in mind.
The Uncle Sam refinery now
owns and controls over twen-
ty-nine thousand acres of oil
and gas lands and additional
properties are being secured
daily. Refinery No. l is now
in operation and it is but a
question of a few days until
the company will commence
to receive great profits from
the sales of the refined oil.
When you invest in the stock
of the Uncle Sam company
you secure property that will
grow in value while you sleep.

cry that the lists of delegates from
Indian Territory to the statehood con-
vention, which is to meet at Oklahoma
City On July 21, fails to contain the
name of a single Indian. The delega-
tions. it is asserted, are made up al
most exclusively of politicians. AS a
result the Indian leaders declare that
contesting delegations will be sent
from most of the districts and they
threaten to hold a meeting, repudiate
the whole thing and send delegation
to Washington to lobby against state
