A Few Pertinent Points About Clothes

There are almost numberless VaT1e-
ties and qualities Of wool as 1t comes
from the sleeps back; and the goats,
too, for that matter. This is one r6a-
son why there is such a variety Of
prices and qualities in made-up clothes
for men and women, as well as IN
cloth itself.
But shoddy wool is sort Of
"Pariah," spoken Of in the trade with
hushed breath. 1t is e deception
Wool is high in cost at the present
time, and it is necessary that some
manufacturers employ shOddy ma
terials to a great extent TO hold their
trade.

Story OF the Play, ssThs Little Pr
ueoforu

StOFT OF the Pay. ~lne Little Pros
pectOF.H
The play deals chiefly With the for
tunes OF the heroine, e young eastern
girl OF good birth and lineage, who,
BY the untimely death OF her mother,
is left to the care and guidance OF a
highly educated but drunken father
who, By the force Of circumstance,
has drifted out on the tide OF destiny
into the mining regions OF the far
west This young girl possesses one
great QtStin gushing T1rtue-f1ial love
and she bends all the energies Of
her nature to the reclamation Of her
father from his besetting vice, and in
cidentally prospecting for gold to re-
LTieve the shattered fortunes OF the
family. It seems that her father, who
is practicing physician has by some
means become possessed OF a mining
claim, which was generally supposed
to be worthless, but which in reality
was very valuable. This fact becomes
known to the villain OF the play, VINO
takes advantage OF the doctors drunk
mere trifie- Just as this transaction
is completed, the heroine, who has
been prospecting on the claim, dis
covers a vein Of gOld-bearing quartz,
4 specimen Of which she takes to an
assayer, young man with a collegi-
ate education, who has become de-
sperately enamOred Of her, he sub
jects 1t to a chemical test and discov-
eTS LQdL IS unusually rlGn, aSSaylnE
four hundred dollars to the ton.
From the foregoing facts, a number
OF complications arise, but in the de-
nouement everything ends happily.
The sale Of the claim to the villain is
proved to be a fraudulent one and the
property is restored to the rightful
owner-the doctor is reclaimed-'The
Little PrOspectOr" marries the young
assayer, and all goes merry as a mar
riage bell" 1t is a very original and
striking story Of mining life in the
far west, depicting the adventures OF
THE Little PrOspectOT" ("Chic" Per
kins). The play is both humorous and
pathetic, combining many mirth pro-
voxing and irresistibly funny situa-
tiOns, with scenes and climaxes Of the
most intense dramatic interest. Thir-
teen cleverly drawn characters Of va
riOus types are required to give the
presentation. Pervading the entire
and sincerity that viii almost cause
one to forget it is a play and feel that
the scenes are a reality This plav
is also rich in dramatic interest and
abOunds in wholesome and salutary
influences and serves 'tO point q
moral as well as adOrn q tale" It
teaches a great life lesson and serves
to accentuate the great and glorious
fact, that retributive justice will full
fill its destiny in spite Of man and that
though wrong and falsehOod may
flourish for awhile, they must newt
ably be crushed beneath the iron heel

WESTERN KANSAS HAS GAS
IN STEVENS COUNTY NEAR THE
STATE LINE.
Blows Dirt and Other Material out Of
Opening While Drilling for
Water.

HugOton. Kan, April zs.-WhiIe
drilling well on the ranch OF Sheriff
O'Dea. at the head OF the Cimarron
breaks, about twenty-five miles north-
esat OF HugOton. the drilIers struck a
hOw Of gas strong enough to blow
loose dirt and other light material
out Of the opening with a force that
would carry it to = height OF several
feet above the surface, and the noise
accompanying the flow can easily be
heard at q distance OF 900 feet from
the well.
]. II. FuIk, Of the hrm OF Bond &
Fulks who are drilling the Wen and
has had several years experience with
gas wells, said:
at q depth OF about zoo feet we
suddenly cut through formation un-
common to this section OF the coun-
try but very much like the strata In
oil and gas sections OF the eastern part
OF the state, and OF course were not
surprised when we struck the doW OF
gas
He is further Of the opinion that the
hOw would be strong enough at q
greater depth for all practical pur-
poses
c. H Bond, the other partner OF
the firm, shares Mr. Fulk's opinion
and adds: The formations along the
CinarrOn river are not unlike those Of
oil and gas regions and that at e depth
OF less than one thousand feet, oil and
gas will be found in abundance"
Sheriff O'Dea has not as yet de-
termined what his further actions in
the matter viii be but is thoroughly
convinced that he has struck pay
dirt
1t has been the general opinion for
years that oil and gas underlie this
section OF the country and in view OF
prospecting for the same q party Of
Ohio oil men were taking notes here
recently and several companies have
sought to buy oil and gas leases on
large tracts Of Stevens county land.
