NAV Drill Deep Well.

Lee Price, formerly resident OF
old Garfield county, but who has been
interested in the oil and gas business
in Southeast Kansas and in Indian
Territory for some time, is of the
opinion that gas, oil or water might
be found in the Pawnee valley in the
northeast parts of Finney county, and
he is anxious to drill prospect hole
some place in the valley that has IA
vorable Indications for gas or oil. Mr.
Price was in Garden City recently and
in talking of the matter, he said the
strata in the valley was much the
same that is found in oil and gas
countries. He feels certain that it
would pay to put down a prospect
hole and he says that if he can get
oil and gas leases on some of the
property in the valley, he will put
down well 5000 feet deep and dem
onstrate what there is under the soil.

Hoch Wants Prison Facts.

A letter containing ten questions
relating to the management of pris-
ons has been sent by Gov Hoch to
the wardens of about half the peni-
tentiaries in the United States. The
governor wants to know whether or
not stripes are still being used, what
methods are pursued in punishment
of prisoners, the lengths of terms,
the crimes relating to how the pris-
oners are handled. The governor is
getting this information to see how
Kansas compares with non-prohibi-
tory states as far as crime is con-
cerned and to see how the Kansas
prison compares with others in the
handling of prisoners The governor
believes that Kansas is away ahead of
most of the states, and he wants def

Roster of Men Who Fought Price.

Adjacent General J. w. F. Hughes
has just finished a complete roster of
all the regiments which were recruit
ed in this state for the purpose of re-
polling the Price raid. He has done
this at the request of Senator Ches-
ter 1. Long. The result shows that
1900 men enlisted for service in this
campaign but great many of them
never saw active service. Senator
Long and other members of the Kan
sas delegation in Washington will at
tempt to have the men who took part
in putting down the Price raid paid for
their services. 1t is shown in The
report that at one time a company
of SO negroes was detailed from the
Price raid militia to build fort and
defend Topeka. According to the rec
ords this fort was somewhere near
the place where Kansas avenue and

Joint Case to supreme Court.

Frank p. Plamondon, an ex-jointist
of Topeka, has appealed his case to
the supreme court of the United
States on the ground that the state
has no authority to have assistant
attorneys general to look after pros
ecutions of joint1sts. Several years
ago T. F. Carver was appointed as
sistant attorney general for Shawnee
county, and one of the first places he
proceeded against was Plamondon's
Copeland hotel drug store where
there were no drugs, but plenty of
turntables. Plamondon was con-
victed, land the case has been in the
courts ever since.

New Deposit Guaranty Plan.

Senator B. P. Waggener, of Atchi-
son has evolved a plan to guarantee
deposits in both national and state
banks. The Waggener plan is to
have the government require a two
per cent interest on all of the money
which it deposits in national banks.
This interest would constitute one
big fund, which would serve as a
guarantee to the money of the general
depositor in national banks. Senator
Waggener's plan for the state banks
is almost the same as with the nation
al banks. He thinks that interest of
two per cent should pc paid upon all
state, city and county deposits in
state banks, and this interest deposit
ed in one place, say with the state
treasurer, and to be used as a guar
antee for depositors in state banks.
