TO STOP THE FIGHT.
Oil Producers Are Holding a Meeting
in Kansas City.

Kansas City, No, Jan. 30.-Several oil
producers from Indian Territory and
Kansas met here today to discuss the
question Of a market for their product.
J. j. Curl, of Bartlettsville, I. T., said
before going into the conference:
We want a market. We are up
against it To get rid of our product,
either the Standard will take our oil
or we must provide more tankage. That
will take time. We want to talk over
the situation and decide some way out
OF the dilemma"
Is the conference called for the pur-
pose of sending a delegation to Cover
nor Folk and Attorney General Hadley.
to ask them to cease the fight on the
StandaId2' was asked.
Il have heard nothing about such a
delegation, replied Mr.. Curl.
H. L. Woods of the Oil City Derrick,
who is in the city, said:
I understand that as the Standard
has ordered work stopped in Missouri
on its Whiting pipe line. the producers
see their chance of a market slipping
away from them. The agitation against
the Standard in Missouri is hurting the
oil business in the Territory and Kan
sas- / think the producers will send a
committee to FOLK and Attorney Cen
eral Hadley to ascertain if possible what
are the prospects of a cessation of hos
tilities."

Goodland Man Makes Suggestion for

Julius H. Stewart, the delegate from
Goodland, Kan, presented resolution
before the resolutions committee of the
Semicentennial convention yesterday.
calling for proper display of Kansas
history at the big exposition. Part
of his resolution was embodied in the
list adopted. His suggestions follow:
Be it resolved, by the delegates of the
state of Kansas in convention as
sembled to organize and plan for the
Semicentennial exposition in 1871 for
the celebration of the half century's
history of this commonwealth that we
Jointly and severally pledge our en-
thusiastic support to any and every
measure looking to the success of this
great undertaking that wisdom may
suggest and conscience approve.
And, be it resolved-That while the
material interests of this state will 1la
teria1Iy and reasonab bly, be expected to
constitute to a very large extent the
exhibits of the exposition contemplated:
yet, we believe that interests higher
than those of mere material prosperity
should be carefully considered and
given the prominence and param0untcy
that such matter deserve. Therefore,
be it resolved
That we emphasize and urge the i'm
portance of organizing a special depart

sion as state into the American unionc

ETERNAL PUNISHMENT.

! must carefully distinguish between
the calm, sober teachings of theolo-
gy and the assertions of the ferviGl
preacher who strives by vivid color

ness of his theme. With regard to the
subject of hell the Church teaches
that it is primarily a state of Danish

voluntary separation from God there
will be awarded the punishment Of
endless Punishment from the home OF
everlasting JOY.
This state of amending ballisf-
mcnt from God constitutes the radi-
cal torture of the condemned, for any
rejecting man who has grusped the
purpose of life. who realizes what it
is to be an intelligent being with IA
| destiny SO lofty. so cnnobling as that
| held out to him by Christian theolo-
gy. must clearly perceive that there
can be no agony greater, no torture
more insupportable than the grief
which must follow the sentence of
| perpetual exile from the face of God.
1T is sometimes thought that this
| home of everlasting Punishment is
inconsistent with the idea of Il God
of love and of mercy. They who so
| argue forget that the doom is a self
inflicted one. that the exile is really
self imposed. He'll may not be very
