Big Oil Pipe Line Contract Let
for $211, 900.
The National Supply Company
Secures the Work.
KANSAS CITY-CHANUTE
VIII Be 125 Miles Long Through
Neodesha Field.
no Deliver Product to a New Oil
Refinery.

Chanute, Kan, March 24.-The Ma
tional Supply company of Kansas has
secured a contract to furnish about 125
miles of fve-inch pipe to the company
of New York capitalists represented in
Kansas City and Kansas by J. 3. Levy.
The LIS miles Of pipe is to be used by
the Levys and their company in the
construction of a pipe line from Cha
mute to Kansas City, Mo-, through
which the heavy oil of the district for
nerly Known as the North Neodesha
district Will be delivered to a market
The closing of this contract practic-
ally assures the pipe line which MIR.
Levy has been agitating in the Chanute
field for a few days. It is considered
here to be the greatest good fortune
that ever attended this Oil district. 1t
means q, resumption of oil field work
in the Chanute field, and means that
an adequate outlet for the large produc-
ton of oil will be provided. The oil
producers whose oil did not grade high
enough to be satisfactory to the prairie
company will not be put out of commits
sion, or left dependent upon small indie
pendent rehneries which have been no
more than proposed The placing of the
contract IS the action that has been de-
sired by local oil men for some time
from any source as 1t shows that the
work Of getting a. line through is actual
~ begun.
It has been known by the supply and
oil pipe house for some time that there
would be contracts soon to be secured
from Independent pipe line companies
for lines in Kansas There were sew
eral bids for the contract that was let
yesterday to the National company.
The contract for pipe provides for an
early delivery, and it is thought that
the pipe will be on the ground within a
month. The pipe will be SHIPPED from
the mills at Pittsburg, Pa 1t is esti-
mated by supply men that the cost of
the pipe is over 800, 600.
Nothing is known or can be learned
about the right-of-way the New York
company viii use. 1t is supposed that
Chanute Will be the southern terminal
of the main f1ve-inch line. and that lat
erals viii extend from this point. Some
where in the vicinity of Chanute the
pumping station viii be located In it
self this plant will amount to a great
deal The capacity of the line viii be
something like 10000 barrels of oil per
day.
A refinery will be erected at Kansas
City 1t will be built within a few
months The refinery win be used to
refine the kerosene and gasoline and the
remaining oil will be Used as gas oil.
1t is said that a great deal OF storage
will be necessary at Kansas City. and
that the New York company expects to
store large amounts of the oil.
It is generally believed that it will be
a matter of three or four months before
tnis line could be ready to receive oil
and the refinery ready for action.

FORTY CASES OF SMALLPOX.
Plague Has Taken Possession of En-
tire Neighborhood of carlton.

Chanute KAN, March 24.-The
prevalence of smallpox in a rural dis
trict four miles southwest of carlton
has become so widespread and gen
eral that it will be made the subject
of investigation by the state board of
health. The secretary of the state
board arrived in Chanute yesterday
afternoon and proceeded to the plague
district. He was accompanied by DR..
u G. Hoshaw, county health officer
for this end of the county
The state secretary was called here
as the result of an investigation made
yesterday by Dr. Hoshaw- The latter
had received a number of messages
from persons living in the neighbour
hood of carlton, asking him to come
down and inspect a number of cases
of eruptive disease which had de-
veIoped there and which seemed high
~ contagious. These communications
by mail were followed by an insistent
telephone message, which was received
to come down at once by all means
The doctor made the trip and upon
seeing one of the patients diagnosed
the disease as smallpox and ordered It
placed under quarantine.
There are about forty cases in all
The disease was introduced into the
community by q lad who came down
from Kansas City and went to work
on farm in the carlton neighbor-
hood. He was never very i'll, and dur
ing the time that he was broken out
kept about his duties and ordinary
pursuits much the same as usual. He
went to a party in the neighborhood,
where the disease was communicated
to a number of other young people,
who in turn communicated it to the
members of their families. Some of
the children carried it to school, and
in this way it became spread over the
entire district.
None of the cases are very serious
and no fatalities have occurred There
is no question, however, but that it is
smallpox. Dr. Hoshaw states and
every effort will be made to stamp it
out before the death of one or more
victims terrifies the community in
which the plague has fntrenched
itself. The fact that the disease has
been present in a mild form hereto
fore is one of the reasons that it is so
generally spread throughout the
neighborhood.

WIRELESS POOL ROOM.
BY Which Sports VIII Get an Oppor-
tunity to Play Faces UnmoIested.

tunity to Play Faces UnInOIested.
New York, March 24.-The floating
pool room which is to defy all laws
except that of gravitation, was the
whole talk in sporting circles. 1t is
certain that a mysterious syndicate
has chartered the steamboat Mt.
Desert equipped it with wireless, and
has engaged a captain and crew to
take it daily out beyond the three mile
limit, there to receive for the benefit
of some 500 betting passengers the
racing returns from Benning, New
Orleans and all the big tracks.
And District Attorney Jerome, with
all his axes, dare not smash a single
portfolio of the boat while it is be-
yond this limit, although betting will
be going on there as in the old days.
All this, of course, is what the syn
dictate says. 1t remains to be seen if
any way this apparent immunity from
state and federal laws can be circum-
vented. So confident are the pro-
jectors of the scheme that the Mt.
Desert will be safe from unpleasant
interference that they have issued in
vitations to the police and district at
torney to place a few bets aboard the
vessel on her first trip next Thursday,
when she will leave the Battery for
deep waters to receive the first returns
from Benning. Not even the regular
excursion trip price of 81 Will be
charged to Police Commissioner Nc
AdOo or District Attorney Jerome if
they wish to accompany the large
bevy of jubilant boOkmakers, many of
whom both gentlemen have been seek
ing assiduously for long time.
The Mt. Desert will not even be clad
in steel armor, like some of the land
lubber pool rooms, and it has not even
been thought necessary to arm her
with a brace of rapid fire GattlinS
guns to repel pirates of the sleuth
type.
Everything will be done in the open
quite in the open, out there with
Father Neptune and his mermaids.

Following this. Nolan descanted on
Nelson's ability to make Britt look

JESSE NELSON'S vENIsoN.
His Many Friends Treated to Bite Of
Meat From Sweden.

When Jesse Nelson returned from Swe-
den a few days ago he was loaded down
the Fort Scott Republican. During the
past few days when one of the boys about
town would step into Manlove's store on
East Wall street, Mr.. Manlove would re-
mark that he had piece of the best ven

Nelson brought it from Sweden" OF
course all were anxious to taste it. 1t
tastes like dried beef, or it tastes like
dried venison, or dried bear meat, or any
other kind of dried meat. After the guest
had passed comment upon the meat he
was told thar It was not venison at ALL
but just horse meat. And so it was. Jesse
brought big chunk of it across the pond
for his friends, and Manlove's store is as
good a place as there is in town to dis
tribute it. The most conicaI part of the
joke was to see the expression that passed
over the faces of those who were unable
to say that they never ate horse meat.

MAKE BRICK AT HUTCHINSON.
sand Hin shale to Be Used in Manu-.
featuring Paving Material.

Hutchinson, Kas., March 24-The
next thing for Hutchinson is a big
plant for making vitrified brick. The
recent tests made by Mr.. Burtch of
the sand hill shale have demon
strated that this material will make
the finest brick in the west. There
are inexhaustibIe supplies of this ma
terial in the sand hills. and it is easy
of access. A spur from the Rock
Island will put the cars at the shale
banks. A plant in the eastern part Of
Hutchinson will put the plant easy of
railway access for material and to
ship out finished product.
The decision to use vitrif1ed brick
in paving the nine blocks in Main
street makes an opportunity to make
the brick here. Local capitalists have
signihed willingness to invest in a
brick plant. The shale tests have
been completed and a company will
likely be organized

BRITT GIVES HIS SIDE.
Coast PugiIist Denies the Lay Down.
Charge of Nelson's Manager.


San Francisco, March 24.-Emphat-
ic denial is made by Jimmy Britt and
his brother Willie to the charge made
by Billy Nolan, manager of Battling
Nelson, that Willie Britt refused to
post forfeits for the Britt-Nelson fight
unless Nelson would agree to 'lay
down." So intense is the feeling on
the part OF the coast pugilist that an
other match with the Chicagoan now
seems inevitable.
This is the statement which Nolan
says Willie Britt made:@
Nelson will have to agree to quit or
else there will be no fight as far as the
Britts are concerned.
1T is a contemplate, malicious lie,
a piece of spitework," is the answer
of Jimmy Britt ''Nolan's fighter is a
punching bag. I can lick him at any
time
''This is the blacklist of lies. Nolan
should not be listened to-" says Wine
Britt.
Nolan does not mince terms in
making his assertions. He calls
