OIL EXPERIMENT OVER.
Santa Fe Completes Its Test With
Kansas Crude Oil.

The experiment which the Santa Fe
has been making for the past week or
so with Kansas crude oil as fuel for
locomotives has been completed and
the Texas oil burning engine with
which the test was made was re-
turned to the Texas division.
F. c. Fox, general superintendent of
the Santa Fe, said this morning con-
corning the experiment: I'VE have
taken all the oil that has been offered
for the experiment and tried it. The
test lasted about seven days. and the
engine was tried at all kinds of traffic
including freight trains, coal trains
and passenger trains. As yet no def
mite conclusion has been arrived at
but Expert Thomas will have his re-
port made out by another day and
then We can tell whether or not the
experiment has been successful. The
oil burner was sent back to Texas this
morning"

REASON WRECKED BY a DREAM
Woman Twice Imagined That Her
Husband Wes Shot.

Toledo, Aug. 2.-Ten days ago Mrs.
Frank Ashe dreamed that her hus-
band was shot, and she was in agony
from him at Parkersburg, w. ", say
ing that he was safe and sound. Last
night the dream was repeated, and
now Mrs. Ashe is violently insane.
Awakened by the horror of the
dream, the unfortunate woman ran
from the house in a panic, and it was
found necessary to summon the police
to capture her. 1t required the efforts
of three strong men to subdue the wo-
man. So far as is known nothing I'M
toward has befallen her husband Who
is still in Parkersburg.

CLAY CENTER's VISION.
Think Their Sandy Soil Contains More
or Less Gold.

Clay Center, Kan, Aug. 2.-While clean
ing the bucket used in bored well on the
j. n. Powers place in the southeastern
part of town yesterday a half teaspoonful
of gold was found in the sand lodged in
around the. leather valve.
Mr.. Tolin, who occupies the place. is an
old miner and as he was at work clean
ing the bucket he noticed the shining par
ticles. He proceeded 10 pan out the sand
with the result above stated.
Old residents will recall that it was
once stated that the under side of the ia
nous mineral spring on the Sam Lang
worthy place, down in that direction, was
lined on the under side with gold, and
there is more or less excitement in conse-
ouence.

Grain Letter.


Thomas J. Myers. broker, ground floor
Columbian building, Topeka kan-1
WHEAT-If you are a bull on wheat
and you are holding long wheat, stick to
it and buy more on weak places, and L
believe you will come out all right. The
conditions that surround the growing
spring wheat are growing steadily worse
every day.
Wheat at ruling prices is worth the
money. A Chicago broker says wheat is
better property than the money at this
time. The quality is Superfine and be-
lieve the best is always the cheapest
Therefore a bushel of good wheat at SIC
Chicago delivery is a low price. The
Spectator who will hold it ought to make
money. Freights from Chicago to Liver
pool is a little less than &c q bushel and
other charges may equal from 8 to cents,
thus practically placing the Chicago mar
ket near parity with the European
market 1t ever gets.
I look for a falling OF in receipts and a
good demand and bull turn in the mar
ket.
CORN-Corn is heavy on fine prospects.
The growing corn crop promises to be
record breaker in production. With these
conditions corn is inclined to sink under
its own weight, although a drive at the
short interest will cause rallies from time
to time, but sales on bulgeS ought to make
the Spectator money.
PROVISIONS-Provisio have the sup
port of the packing interest and they act
well 1 look for lard and pork to sell
higher.
