a VAST AMOUNT OF OIL.
Midcontinent Field to Produce Forty
Million Barrels in 1907.

independence, Kan. July SIN the
amount of production of crude petro-
leum the n1id-continent field this year
will outrank every other field in Amer
lea. California last year was first with
an output of 5000, 1000 barrels. The
mid-continent field. will produce in 1907
an output of $4,000, 900 barrels. The
Prairie OIL and Gas company alone, the
first six months of this year. has run
II, SIS, 22S barrels, or, speaking In rouno
numbers, within 10000 barrels OF as
much as during the entire year OF 1906.
During the first three months or this
year the pipe line runs amounted 10
2,250, 900 barrels a month, and during
the last three to over 100000 barrels
month. In addition to this Increase the
Gulf Line Pipe company and the Texas
company, in the same period, have be-
come purchasers of from 5000 to $1,000
barrels of oil day. 1t is safe to say
that all other agencies outside of the
Prairie averaged the past six months
the consumption of 1900 barrels of oil
a day, which would mean 5000, 900 bar
rels for the first half of 1907. Thus the
field has produced and sold in six
months 10 629, 22S.75 barrels, or practical
ly as much as the total production of
last year.
Therefore, the conclusion may be
easily drawn that the. entire output for
1907 will approximate very closely 49,
OO0, 900 barrels.

the operation without taking a sleep

agree to this and Dalton gave in.

Eulah Wilson, Who Died and Return

Wichita, Kan. July s.-Eulah Will
son, Is years old, whose marvellous
tale of dying and returning to a heal
ed body in the twinkling of an eye
caused much comment here, is now in
charge of the Juvenile court of this
county and may be placed in an in
dustrial school. She and Mrs. Julia
Hill, an ex-Dowieite, had planned to
tour Kansas and Oklahoma, using the
girls tale to draw crowds to religious
gatherings. The girls parents OBJ
jected.
Mrs. Hill made affidavit that the
girls mother is insane. The county
physician examined her and upon his
report the probate court Cancelled the
insanity. proceedings and ordered the
girl to go home and obey her parents.
The girl objected and the police and
juvenile courts had to interfere. The
officers found the girl barricaded in
house. beseeching God to destroy her
parents so that she could make the
tour.

Garden City, Kan, July 8.
To the Editor of the State Journal:
You will please continue my Topeka
Journal for which / inclose you 81. I
find the State Journal gives me today's
news and markets twenty-four hours
ahead of the alleged morning papers,
as the Journals for western Kansas
travel at night and are ready for us in
the morning, while the morning pa
pers printed a little later but containing
largely the same news spend the day in
reaching us and often can not be OBJ
tained until the next morning, when
they are stale. The Journal is growing
rapidly here both for that reason and its
general excellence as a well edited news
paper. Yours truly,
WIN. H. WALKER.

Newkirk is the first station in Okla

Wichita folks moved down there after
the closing of the wholesale houses
here and are supplying the trade from
that point. Freight rates from New

| Richter, ex-lieutenant governor, who
knew him when he was a child in
short dresses at his mothers knee,
and who was on the train when Dalton
boarded it at Holiday on his way to
Topeka. There were no officers with
him nor will he be under surveillance
while out of the state institution on
parole, for those who know him best
feel sure that when the parole expires
he will be at the door of the peniten-
tiary ready to step back into his prison
uniform which he has worn for SO
many years.
Dalton is about the last man a
stranger would select from the au-
dience about the lobby, as Dalton the
convict, and once bad man. The in
jured arm hangs useless at his side,
yet does not attract attention on ac-
count of its useless condition. He is
just a fraction less than six feet in
height, his square jaw indicates de-
termination and underneath the rim
of the soft black hat which he keeps
we'll pulled down, are steel grey eyes
which indicate a resoluteness of char
acter.
His figure is as straight as that of an
Indian and he walks with a firm tread.
Barely past "a years of age he might
easily be called handsome, for his face
is a kindly one which would imme-
diately attract the attention of one
seeking a friend among strangers. He
is dressed in a dark salt and pepper
suit of ordinarily well made store
clothes, which adds to the attractive
ness of his figure. But it is soft, well
modulated voice which wins for him
the respect and we'll wishes of his au-
ditors.
All day Sunday he was besieged
with newspaper men and curious
strangers many of whom asked that
him well. He shrank from meeting
all save the few newspaper men whom
he has already learned are necessary
pests and to them he has refused
steadfastly. but politely. to discuss his
past. present or future.
Boys he said, at am out on parole
and you appreciate my position fully
as we'll as do. 1 should like to answer
your questions if I could do so con-
sistently. but must not talk for pub
LEGATION though I do like to visit with
you and exchange views. / look upon
you as my friends and must ask you
to excuse me from referring to myself
in any way. / have no plans for the
future for 1 am a free man for but
three months and then 1 must return
to Lansing.
which is troubling me now and after it
is attended to there is but one thing
for me to do, for my friends have as
sured Warden Haskell and Governor
Hoch that when my parole expires l
will return and / believe that of all
crimes, ingratitude is the worst. l have
many warm friends who have done
much for me and why they Should is
more than I can understand, and I
trust that they will never have cause
to regret their actions AS far as am
concerned, what happens 20 me and
what is said and written of me is IF
little moment compared with the coed
will of these friends who nava been so
kind to me-"

At the Air Dome.

The Wolford Stock company was for
tunate in its opening last night, for ev-
cry seat at the Air Dome was occupied,
and many were turned away. The COM
pany is in many respects the strongest
dramatic organization that has played
the Air Dome this season. Wyoming"
a cowboy play, scored a hit with the
audience. The play tells a fascinating
story of ranch life, and many scenes are
intensely interesting, and the comedy
good. Mamie Sheridan Wolford, leading
lady of the company, made a good i'm
preston although the part last night did
not give her much scope for emotional
work. The management announces
some high class plays for production
during the two weeks engagement.

An Operation Tomorrow.

Last night Mr.. Dalton called upon
Dr. John Outland and competed ar
rangements for an oparaticn on his
arm which will take place a. Bethesda
hospital Tuesday morning. The light
arm was shattered by a Winchester
ball between the elbow and shoulder
and refused to yield to the skill of the
doctors for more than year after he
was shot. Then for a DOZEN years it
did not bother him in his duties about
the prison tailor shop of which he was
foreman.
About two years ago it began paining
him and he has been in the prison hos
pital for long periods since that time
