a RECEPTION TO HARMON.
The Gree Love" Editor says He VIII
Continue His Work

Leavenworth, Kan. Dec. 27.-Moses
Harmon. II years old, editor of "Lu-
offer Light Bearer" of Chicago, who
has served a year in prison for send
ing obscene matter through the mall
was released from the United States
civil penitentiary last night. He left
for Chicago to continue his work as
an editor.
A dinner in Harmon's honor was
given at the home of s. R. Shepherd.
following which was an informal re-
ception at which forty or fifty persons
were present. Mr.. Harmon made a
short speech in which he said that he
had been mistreated in the Joliet
penitentiary. He said that he believed
that there was a plot there to cause
his death. He has been in the Leav-
enworth prison six months, where he
was we'll treated, he says.
Harmon advocates the abolition of
formal marriage vows. This doctrine
he spreads over the country by means
of his paper.
Harmon feels that he is a martyr
and he looks on the term he has
served in prison as a token of honor
When he was brought from the Joliet
penftentfary here last June he was
very i'll. He was not compelled to do
any hard labor and of late put in
most of his time writing wills. He
wrote three different wills. the two
first of which he destroyed. The one
that he completed only recently and
purposes to have executed before his
death comprises more than fifty close
~ written pages of foolscap.
This will says very little about his
property. 1t is said that he has Moth
ing except his newspaper in the way
of worldly goods. 1t bequeaths his
beliefs and principles to his descend
ants and friends. The will exalts
women and says that the principles he
advocates tend to their upbuilding- It
gives directions as to his funeral and
the disposition of his writings. 1t will
be filed in Chicago soon.

either, but only IS cents.
The other occurrence, at the same time
and place, was the luncheon of DR.. Ver-
non and two OF his negro friends. One
was the pastor of the largest negro
church in the United States. OF course
all were cultured. and most well-behaved
persons, but the sight Of them sitting at
a. ia bic tucked away fnconspicuously IN
corner of the senate lunchroom, eating a
modest lunch, reused THE ire of a few
southerners and others who stood around
on one foot making remarks about il. One
OF them carried his complaint to the man
ager of the senate l11chrooms. That per
son said probably 1t was not best for
colored persons to lunch thera, but there
was nothing to do about il; ne could not
ask them to leave. for they were wcll-be-
haved and attending to their avn o,l.i-
ness and besides If he-did so. the. senate
committee on rules would probably rep
riTnand him, and he might also nave to
stand a suit for damages.

MORE GAS AT ELMDALE.
Two Good Wells Brought in-TaIk of
a Cement Plant.

Cottonwood Falls, Kan. Dec. 81
Shaw & Jennings, who have leases on
large tracts Of land from MatfieId
Green to Elmdale, have brought in
their second gas we'll at depth of
1870 feet on the Steve Wood farm
south of the. Christian church. This
we'll is about five times as strong as
any other we'll in the Elmdale district
The same people brought in a well
last Thursday on the A. NJ. Breese
place, east of the school house, at a
depth of $50 feet which was about the
same pressure as the other Elmdale
wells.
The next well will be drilled on the
Johnny Murphy farm farther south
east of Elmdale. These people are
trying to find the point of greatest
pressure in that section when they in
tend to put down a deep we'll. They
are now working towards the river
and the pressure seems to be getting
stronger
Messrs. Shaw & Jennings say that if
they strike a sufficient flow of gas they
will put in a cement plant which will
employ several hundred men. They
have had the stone examined and find
it Is extra fine cement stone.

officers of the New York Life Insurance
