Very Sad

Last Friday, Mrs. Toney Bradley, a
colered woman of this city, came
running up main street screaming
followed by young colored mao who
called to an officer TO arrest her, stat
ing that she was crazy.
She was taken in charge by an
officer, her husband aud some by
ISLANDERS and was with difficulty got
back to her home, where she was care
fully guarded.
Mrs. Bradley has always been a
highly respected colored woman. She
has the reputation Of being an honest
hard working wife aud mother. neat
housekeeper and much above the
average In intelligence. She is the
daughter of that venerable old col
ored man. Scott Beatty, who formerly
lived in Chanute but is now pros
porous farmer in Oklahoma.
Her husband, Toney Bradley is one
OF our most prosperous colored men.
They have a large family OF boys, all
young, aud it is great calamity to
them. However, a good rest and
careful attention will likely restore
Mrs. Brady to her normal condition.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
In the OIL
and Gas Field
TseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessseE

AS was anticipated by THE TIMES.
business is looking up In the oil field.
Before the snow was off tho ground
drills began to start up in different
parts of the field and as the weather
warns things up and the mud settles
more activity is noted each day.
The oil producers have been blue
and the drillers discouraged by this
long enforcement OF idleness. But
now new capital Is coming in and
picking up any proposition that is
open and contracts for new wells are
constantly being let. Even the cloth.
ing man who has worn such long
face for the last two months begins
to smile and advertise his new spring
suits.
Three drills are at work on aga well
contract in the northeast field. One
we'll has been completed and proved
to be fine gaser.
The Belleview Co. has just brought
10 it's tenth we'll which is reported by
Manager Ernshaw to be very fine
one.
The Gold Standard Co. on adjoining
property has just completed another
good producer and Is drilling again.
Another Co. has been formed in the
Austin field and will begin work Oh
800 acre tract.
The Home Co. sold its holdings to
Omaha capitalists and they have al
ready brought in a new well and are
cleaning out the old ones.
Development in the Erie and Shaw
fields is being prosecuted vigorously
and many new wells developed.
The Clearm0nt Co. southeast Of
Chanuts, which had suspended opera
tions, has resumed work and generally
the field Is beginning to resume its
busy appearance.
1t is now well settled that there
will be one or more retireries estab-
!ished in this locality and 1t looks
very much, now, like there will be
three.
The assistance given to the Oil in
terests by the legislature is greatly
appreciated by producers and people
generally, and everybody now feels
that the standard can be met on fair
business basis, and that the whole oil
region is again on ths eve of prospect
ty.

Gas

Our legislature did not see fit to
protect the field, property, against
The gas robbers. We are at their
mercy. outside of the dynamite
remedy and they will have about as
much mercy as the wolf shows tie
rabbit.
1t now becomes the duty Of the
Chanute council and Chanute citizens
TO protect themselves as best they
may, while yet there is an opportun-
ity. We have so repeatedly called
the attention of the council to the
necessity of securing more gas terri
tory before it is too late, that we fell
like giving them up as a bad lot.
This gas land must be secured for
Chanute.
This gas land.must be secured for
Chanute factories and secured promp
ely or we cannot expect to continue
to grow. A move is being discussed
looking to the organization Of com
pany here to securing gas territory
near the city that can beused for fact
org purposes. This is a most excellent
plan and all property owners can af-
ford to contribute literally to the stock
OF this company. We hope to see il
speedily organized and at work, and
to see the council. do its utmost.
There seems to be no time to lose
in this matter. Nothing but danger
turks in delay. Though the gas field
received desperate wound In the
house of It's, should be friends, it need
not be mortal. Alert, energetic Tree
hearted effort May yet turn the scale
Ia our favor.

The Truth About Clover

In spite Of the fact that many men
have been raised in clover growing
country, and ought to Thoroughly I'M
derstand the habits Of the plant, we
know many who, when you speak
about clover growing here In the Gen.
trail West, will say, Eyes, but clover
doesn't live here like it used to in the
East" They say further that two
years is rs long as it will last here,
Did you ever know it to last longer In
my state or country, unless 1t was
re.seeded? Possibly one time in a
hundred, but not any more, as a rule.
AS simple as this is, this is the nature
of the clover plant, and it acts this
way in Ohio or Wisconsin the same as
it does here. Generally speaking,
when clover makes one good crop of
seed it is done. If you get all that
seed crop off the land you will have no
more clover there to speak of unless
you re-seed. But If you are little
negligent about saving the seed crop
and let part of it get scattered, you
will have clover SOD there right
along. However, it Is best not to do
TINS. The better plan is to plow up
t lat field and sow the seed taken
fr ,m the field on some othei, so help
your land all around.
This is not IL e)ry, but 1t is practice,
and we have been practicing it the
best we have been able to for the past
seven years, We have tried alfalfa
here, but found il not suited to our
stiff soil. Glover has always dor e
timely for US, and we think the man
farming soil similar to ours is fooling
away time and money TO keep on try
* alfalfa and let red clover go, ano
N the theory that lit doesn't live
out two years here" Remember that
IS all it lives anywhere, except III
Extraordinary cases, and the fact that

it was worth the grain they we're eat
ing. Imagine his surprise when he
found that it wasn't grain but the
clover hay, that was putting on and
had put on that sleek look. Alfalfa,
we know would do the same. aud the
farmer living where alfalfa does well
is losing one of his opportunities by
not growing plenty of 1t. Here the
farmer not growing clover is losing

dollars on the game Of faro. Finally,
as he turned to leave, the dealer asked,

FOR A NEW CAPITOL
IDAHO WILL RECEIVE A
S;0OO,OOO LAND GRANT.
Government Overlooked That State
When 1t Was Admitted TO the Union
win Now Make Up the Dcficien-
cy in Original Capitol Land Grant
by Giving the Gem State 90,OOO
Acres for That Purpose.

The bill introduced by Senator
Hepburn a few days ago, making an
additional grant of $4,000 acres Of
land to the state OF Idaho for the pur-
pose of erecting q new capitol build
ing, and its origin in the mind OF
United States Judge Beatty, a mem
Der of the capitol commission Of
Idaho.
The commission has realized that
the funds thus far provided for the
new building are in no wise adequate
to erect such a capitol as the needs
of the state require, and yet 1t is felt
that the state is not in condition to
increase the amount Of its appropria-
tions without working a hardship
upon the taxpayers.
In looking over the various acts Of
congress granting lands to western
states for this purpose, Judge Beatty
discovered that much more had been
done for neighboring states than for
Idaho.
The act admitting North and South
Dakota, Montana, and Washington
gave each Of those states so sections
of land or $4,000 acres, and by sec
ton II Of the same act each of the
Dakotas received an addition Of &c.
| 900 acres; Montana, 10000, and
Washington, 100000.
The act admitting Idaho and Wy
oming gave to each state so sections
| or $4,000 acres, and by section IL OF
that act Wyoming received an addi-
tional $4,000 acres, while Idaho seems
| to have been overlooked.
When Utah was admitted, $4,000
acres were donated for state capt.
tol building. but other gifts Of lands
by the government swelled the total
amount to 1870, 900 acres.
1t isn't believed that congress in
tended to be stingy with Idaho, but
that the shortage in its donation was
the result of an oversight when the
bill was passed.
Should the bill become law, the
lands could be selected and sold a
once, and II only the minimum price
of SO an acre was received, 1t woult
enable the commission to build cap
itol costing upwards of S1,OOO,OOO
giving the state one Of the fines
buildings in the west, without tn
necessity of levying any tayes for thi
purpose. This is the most iinportan
measure that will come before con
gress so far as Idaho is concerned
this winter, and its early passag, !
, to be anxiously hoped for.

why one
Had BAD Drinking Water.
Here is an Incident that illustrates
the unexpected difficulties which en-
terprlse has sometimes to face In GER
tain regions Of Central America; From
a certain large lake an important town
drew its supply Of water. By means
of powerful steam driven pumps the
water was drawn from the lake
through Il strong iron pipe, which, art
er running some eighty or ninety yards
into the lake from the shore, ended In
an upward turn, short arm bent at
right angles to the pipe and rising to
within a few feet of the surface. Sud
denly an epidemic visited the town In
question The company's reputation
being threatened, IT was decided to
straightway pull up the streets and ex-
pose the main pipes and conduits.
The entire system was laid bare,
from the outskirts Of the town to the
very chores Of the lake, but the minut-
est examination failed to reveal any
suspicious feature. Then, almost at
their wits end, for the epidemic was
raging as badly as ever, the officials
entered. upon the last lap and turned
their attention to the submerged por'
tions Of the conduit, and here 1t was
they found the cause. A huge ALI
gator had been drawn toward the
mouth of the main by the very strong
influx, and, being unable to release
itself from the suction, had remained
there until it died, and thus, for good
