SMILEY VERY CLOSE.
Secretary of Grain Dealers Can't
Dodge Jail Much Longer.

The mandate Of the supreme court in
the Smiley case has been sent to the
district court of Rush county, with di-.
rections that the judgment of the court
be carried out according to law" but
there seems to be some difference of
opinion as to what this means. At any
rate Mr.. Smiley has not yet been taken
out to Rush county to serve his sen
tence Of 80 days in the Rus county
jail.
Mr.. Smiley's attorneys insist that the
mandate of h supreme court does not
become operative until the district court
OF Rush county meets with the Judge
on the bench, and makes an order that
the mandate be made a matter of rec
ord and the judgment carried out. On
b other hand J. W. Mccormick, the
attorney for the state, insists that as
soon as a mandate is filed with the
clerk of the district court it econes
operative and it is the duty of the
sheriff to forthwith go after the defend
ant and proceed to have the sentence
carried out. In some counties one Gus
tom prevails and in other counties the
other.
The attorneys for Mr.. Smiley wish to
stave off the sentence as long as posi-
bic in the hope that something may
arise to bring forth a pardon for their
client. For instance, proceedings against
the farmers grain associations, which
the grain dealers threaten, might help
out.
Barring the fact that he viii not be
able to go about at will Mr.. Smfley's
confinement will not be as bad as it
might be. In the Rush county jail he
will be located right in the middle of
the Kansas wheat belt while the har-
vest is in progress, n he will doubt
less be able to carry on his c%orrespon-
dence and direct his work as secretary
of the State Grain Dealers association
as e from the Rush county jail as he
can from Topeka It may be a little
unpleasant, but still Mr.. Smiley viii be
in nearer proximity to the grain deal
ers than he would be here at home.
This probably is not very consoling,
however, from his point Of view.

DULL TIMES IN OIL.
Producers Around CoTeyviIIe Are
Doing Little.

Coffeyville, April 1.-THE oil business
is very dull here now. The Standard is
still taking oil from the east field, just
enough, however, to be noticeable and
that is about all The producers are
not making anything out of the bust
ness all that they are remaining in
the field for. is that good days are COM

The rumor that the Standard viii take
up its lines to this field is still in the
wind, and along with this is the indie
pendent refinery n Independent pipe
line rumors.
Three wells were brought in last week.
One On n Ashby land, three miles
northeast of town, No. 9 on the Messer
smith farm. twelve miles west of town,
in the Tyro field, and one on the Good
farm. eleven miles west of town, in the
same pool. The last two named wells
are said to be fairly good producers and
will be hooked onto the Standards line
at once. The Messersmith well is owned
by Duntley & Odel and the one on the
Good farm was drilled in by Dabney.
Beck & Perry. The oil in this field
brings IS cents and the line is not in
the congested condition as the one run

Direful Predictions.
Or. Macdonald Says New York viii Be
Destroyed BY Earthquake.

DR.. J. Macdonald, an astrologer.
of Binghamton N. Y, in an al
manac just published by him makes
some sensational prophecies Of great
events to take place within the next
two years. Among the prophecies
is that portion of New York city
will be destroyed by earthquake
some time during the present year.
He says: The loss Of life will be
terrible. The shock will be felt
at least 200 miles inland. There
is a grave possibility that the whole
lower half of Manhattan island. will
slide off into the bay"
DR.. Macdonald also prophesies
the end of the Russian Japanese
war during this year, and says that
the elements will assist greatly in
the almost total destruction of the
Japs. Japan, he says, will be near
ly wiped off the earth by earth
quakes and great tidal wave. He
declares that in 1881 the United
States will extend from the North
to the South Pole and that railroads
will be running without Interrupt
tions from Point Barrow, in Alaska
to Cape San Diego, in Terra del
Fuego. He predicts a famine for
1908 throughout the world.

No Match For williamsport.
The Gazette and "BulIetin" Says II was
Swatfest.

The Normal boys were like as
many pygmies in the hands of the
Williamsport leaguers Monday
afternoon. They boarded the air
ship early in the game, and re-
mained in the clouds throughout
the long drawn out nine innings.
In speaking Of the game the
Gazette and Bulletin says:
The Williamsport base ball team
held a swatfest at Athletic Park
yesterday. Everybody hit the ball
and hit it hard. The Bloomsbury
Normal team were the victims. and
the way those outfelders chased
leather was caution.
Lynch essayed to pitch for the
visitors, but after he had been safe
ly hit FIVE times, had issued three
passes and made three wild pitches
Bray was called in to finish the
first inning and the game.
Bray did good work until the
fifth inning when they took his
measure for eight hits and followed
in the seventh with IL more.
The same paper prints the follow
ing notes:
Stone had a finger hurt in the
first inning and Aldinger finished
the game behind the bat.
Schmaltz put up good game at
third. He was one of Blooms
burg's best.
Williamsport had IS men at the
bat in the seventh inning and the
scorers were correspondingly busy.
When Bloomsbury pulled off
that double play in the eighth inn
ing Weimer fell over in faint.
DR.. Aldinger wants to know
what there is ABOUT Williamsport
that affects his team in such a man
ner. One of its two poor games
last year was played here, and yes
terday was, to use his expression,
"a farce comedy"
We did not intend to mention
the score, but DR.. Aldinger says he
wont take it to heart, so here it is:
Williamsport 80, Normal 4.

MONUMENT SECURED.

Largely through the efforts of
Geo. w. Keiter of this town, the
act of assembly appropriating $22,-
500 for the erection Of monument
and memorial tablets on the battle-
field Of Fredericksburg to COM
memorate the bravery of the Penn
sylvania regiments in Humphries'
Division, was passed by the late
legislature. The Mo,ning Press
says:
1t was after Mr.. Keiter had been
to Antietam last year where he
noticed that the services of many
other Pennsylvania regiments had
been commemorated that the
thought occurred to him that the
services of the Pennsylvania regi-
ments that went to make up Hum
phries division, and to which he
belonged, deserved monument
from the state, as others had Sc
cured. The charge at Fredericks-
burg being their most notable en-
gagement it was there that he
thought the monument should be
placed. On his way home from
Antietam he took up the matter
with others who were in the divis-
ion and after his return home fur
thered the movement. 1t at once
struck a popular chord on the part
of the other members of the regi-
ments yet surviving and the pro-
ject was successfully pushed, ter
minating in the passing of the ap-
preparation by the Legislature.
The Governor will now appoint
six Commissioners, one from each
regiment named, to carry out the
provisions of the Act.

sunbury Borough Must Pay Damages.

In the damage suit of George D.
Bucher against the borough of Sun
bury, the jury returned a verdict
shortly before noon Wednesday,
awarding damages in the sum OF
$2, ,oS3.53. Bucher fell on the ice
covering the pavement in front OF
the court house and injured him
self so severely that he became per-
manently crippled. At previous
trial against the county he secured
a verdict, but on an appeal to the
superior court the same was set
aside on the ground that the county
was simply the agent of the state,
and therefore was not liable fol
damages. Suit was then instituted
against the borough with the above
result.

SPRING ARBOR DAY.
The Youth Should Be Impressed With the
Importance Of Tree Planting.

Tomorrow will be Arbor Day, as
has been appointed by Governor
Pennypacker-a day on which the
minds of the people should be di-
rected to tree planting, the import
snce of which should be particular
ly impressed upon the youthful
mind. In order to make this i'm
preston upon the young it is in
tended that the public schools shall
observe the day in accordance with
the recommendation OF the gov
ernor. Both the boys and girls
should be taught the Importance
of tree culture, forest preserva-
ton and the care of birds. These
are all essential to the public
welfare-the trees for their beauty,
general usefulness and healthful
qualities the forests for their COM
mercial value and climatic effects /;
the birds for the service the y
render in the preservation of the
crops from the ravages Of in
sects. The observance of t b e
day should not be confined, how
ever, to the educational institutions.
Every citizen has an interest in the
matter to which the governors pro-
clamation refers, and Arbor Day
should be observed in practical
way by the authorities and citizens.

Blind Boys Football.

Football and many other outdoor
games are played by the blind. certain
changes being made so that in each
game the sense Of hearing takes the
place of sight.
In football. for instance, tiny bell
is fastened to the ball, and by the
bells tinkle the balls location Is de-
termined.
The blind delight in races Of all
sorts. They do not run towards the
tape, as the seeing do, but toward q
bell that jangles briskly.
1t is odd to see the blind at their
games. They play gravely and they
maintain profound silence. for II
they make a noise the voices Of their
guiding bells could not be heard.

Break In the Canal.

A breach has been made in the
Manchester ship canal at Runcorn,
in England, and when the tide IL
out water pours into the bed of the
River Mersey at the rate Of 10000
to 100000 gallons an hour. As, how
ever the tide sweeps into the canal
twice in every twenty-four hours, no
appreciable difference appears to be
made In the level Of the waterway.
The danger lies in the possible under
mining of the wall at this point. The
break occurred at point where great
difficulty had been experienced In
building the wall.

Wheat Outlook Good.
A Large Amount Of Wheat Was Put Out
Last Fall.

Last Fall.
No one drives into the country
these days without being struck
with admiration for the wheat fields
which are already growing luxuri-
antly and present beautiful emer-
aid appearace. The farmers of the
surrounding valleys put out large
amount of wheat last fall, but in
tend to devote more attention to
corn and potatoes than in former
years, as experience has shown
that there is more money in those
crops than in wheat. The high
price Of wheat of the last six or
eight months has caused more wheat
to be set out, but the increase is
not what some people would have
expected in view Of the high price
for grain.
