GAS FOR KANSAS CITY,
City Council Finally Gets Franchise
That Appears to Be Satisfactory

Kansas City is finally to have nat
ural gas, which has been at its doors
for 10, these many years, but which
the citizens of the big town have
been respectfully turning away every
The history of the natural gas
proposition for Kansas iCty would
make big book-but it will prob
ably never be written. Franchise af-
ter franchise has been presented,
and one which was finally passed,
giving the rights to Chicago capital
lists, was turned down because of
two stringent restrictions.
1t has ben apparent all along to
those who were acquainted with the
gas situation, that the gas would ev-
entually come fro mthe Kansas Nat
ural, and the arrangement now CON
cIuded bears out this theory. The
Kansas Natural has the goods and
can make delivery within short
time.
The terms of the agreement made
between the mayor and the gas com
pany are as follows
Gas for domestic purposes, %
cents per thousand feet for first five
years; q cents n 1000 for the next
five years; 30 cents 1000 for the re-
naming twenty years of the life of
the franchise
Gas for manufacturing purposes at
the same rate as supplied other towns
from the main line of the Kansas
Natural Gas company a maximum
rate of ID cents 1000.
Suspension of the purchase clause
for ten years; in the event natural
gas gives out in advagce of ten years
the city's right to buy the plant of
the Kansas City, Missouri Gas com
pany at its physlcal value and sup
ply manufactured gas becomes eff.
fective,
In the event the company is to
supply manufactured gas the price
for it is to be determined by three
Judges of the circuit court.

The exaggerated stories regarding
competition by independent redncr
in Texas and the Standard Oil com
pany, which have been in general cir
culation for the past ten days, are
without an iota of foundation. There
has not been a single agreement sign
ed for the sale and delivery of oil in
Texas, beyond the shipments which
have been started by the Prairie Oil
4 Gas company, amounting TO one
thousand barrels day. The story
TO the effect that the Frisco railroad
has signed contract with Tulsa pro-
ducers to furnish the railroad with
one thousand barrels of oil per day,
fails absolutely Of confirmation. If
the contract has been made, the par
ties who are a part of it, are ex-
ccedingly reticent regarding the I'M
portant deal.

BURNING A JUJU HOUSE.
Chamber of Horrors in the Village Of

Some interesting ghastly-de.
tails have lately reached England,
writes correspondent OF the
Graphic, as to the burning of a juju
house in the Andon country Of south
ern Nigeria, where both human sac.
rihces and canabalism have until quite
recently been rampant. On an appoint.
ed day the chiefs OF Bonny and Opobo,
who have some sort Of control OF the
Andoni tribe, were called together
and informed by the British resident
that these nefarious practices must
be put a stop to. After much hes!ta.
ton the principal chief led the way
to the center Of the village, where a
CHASTITY sight presented itself, The
juju house was literally covered with
human skulls, even the gable ends
and veranda posts bearing these nor.
rlble trophies Some were compare.
lively fresh, clearly showing that hui
man sacrifices were still practiced
In all upward Of 1000 were counted.
The order was given TO burn the
house, but no native dared execute the
command, so that at last the British
resident himself set fire to this cham;

up to the sky the greatest excitement
prevailed, and the terrified heather
stood with bated breath Among The
