Oil Octopus Furnishes Kansas Oil Pro-
dueers by Tearing Up Pine Lines.

Chanute, Kan. March 16.-Another
step in the Standards attempt to boy
colt Kansas oil has developed here.
The first move occurred a week or two
ago, when the Standard issued an or
der not to buy any more oil testing
under 80 degrees. The supplementary
move came with an order to tear up
lateral pipe lines from a number of
oil properties between Chanute and
Humboldt and the disconn ection by
the Standard of the wells of a number
of companies from the Standard line
in the field west of this city. How far
such action will be carried cannot be
learned, but it seems to be part of a
plan to discipline Kansas oil producers
for preSumlng to array themselves in
opposition to Standard monopoly.
Frank Monnett, who is conducting the
states side in the Santa Fe custer case,
when his attention was called to this
new move of the Standard, stated that,
if he were one of the producers af-
fected, he would bring proceedings at
once against the Prairie Oil & Gas
company for a receiver and to force
them to maintain their connections
and take oil. Most of the properties
affected are thought to be those hav-
ing oil testing under 80 degrees, al
though the wells of one company dis
connected today, when last run, grad
ed over 81 degrees, and in many cases
the field tanks were full of oil. In
discOnnecting the wells, the Standard
the field tanks and removed the pipes
and connections. Local Prairie Oil
company officials have no explanation.
1t is suggested that this is the result
of the visit of President Young of the
Prairie Oil & Gas company here last
week. This move. like the first, is
giving great impetus to the pipe line
to the Gulf proposition, and the indie
pendent refinery movement

FREE WITH
PAW-PAW

A great sufferer of catarrh sent me
letter stating that he felt as though his
nose was in a wise; that he had been IN
able to breathe through his nose for near
" 3 years. That he had had 2 opera lions
and been treated by number of special
lists, but every time he caught cold the
air passages of the nose became so great
y inflamed that he was obliged to breathe
through his mouth. That there was con-
slant dropping of mucous into his throat
and stomach. which produced dyspepsia,
insomnia and melancholy. That it had af-
fected his hearing so that he was almost
deaf That he had noticed my advertise
ment claiming that my PaW-PaW and in
haler would positively cure catarrh. and
with but little faith he concluded to make
one more effort to get we'll. and much to
his establishment he began to improve at
ter the first day, and. although he has
been using this treatment less than two
weeks, he is now able to breathe through
his nose, the catarrhal discharges having
almost ceased. and his hearing has been
quite restored. This case is similar to
thousands of others. Catarrh is not only
a wise on the nose and air pressures. but
is a vice against good morals and judg-
rnent- 1t is vice to be sick from any

BIG EQUIPN1ENT oRDERs.
Railways of the United States VIII
Spend $500, 10000 During Year.

Railways of the United States VIII
Spend 100000, 900 During Year.
More than $2Oo,O0O,o 600 for new
equipment for railways during the
current year-$111,000,0 by ten
systems and about $90.0O0,0OO by 9th
er lines-is the almost unprecedented
record made by American transporta-
ton companies, and it is taken as a
forecast of an era of still greater pros
perity in the nation.
This vast sum represents a con-
sentative estimate of the orders placed
but some authorities insist the total
expenditure Will reach a. much higher
figure. These orders, also, are in adj
dition to liberal expenditures made
during the close of last year
In forming a correct estimate of the
import of the enormous expenditures
which the railroads are making to
take care of increased traffic it must
be membered that two years ago the
orders for equipment exceeded all rec
ords. Despite the fact however. that
more than $300,O00,O0O was expended
in two years for equipment, the de-
mand far exceeded the supply and
traffic congestion occurred at all of the
important tonnage centers.
Again the railroads see a repetition
of~the condition of two years ago, and
their faith in the future is represented
by an expenditure of more than $685.
