MARCH RIGHT ON,
Topeka Will Have a Big State
Fair.
Local Committee Is in No Wise
Discouraged.

Topeka will have a state fair, and 1t
will be a big one. Don't for a minute
lose sight of the fact. The technical law
point advanced by the county attorney
that forbids the county commissioners
from making the $4,000 levy for a per-
manent building for exhibition purposes is
an unexpected incident, a drawback. if
you WILL but not an obstacle that cannot
be successfully passed. The business men
who have been working the past six
weeks for the fair subscriptions, and the
directors of the State Fair association are
lions that the fair will be held next fall,
county levy or no levy. Secretary Poole,
]. w. Robinson and H. A. Heath of the
Low of the exposition company were all
interviewed today in regard to the fair
and each one Of these gentleman was as
dictions for the fair.
IA county building" said Mr.. Robinson,
the grounds and been much more desira-
BILE as a place for exhibits, but have no
doubt that a temporary building can be
as well. We may have to raise little
more money. but we are going right ahead
with the fair. just the same as though
the levy had been made"
Secretary Poole Of the Commercial club,
in speaking of the matter, said that a
meeting Of the state fail. directors and
be held next week and definite plans
adopted for the preparation of the
grounds for the fair. He was not at all
dismayed by County Attorney Schenck $
adverse ruling on the levy. 1t is very like
| ly that the matter will be brought to the
attention of the supreme court at once
| so that a ruling can be secured not later
than next week. 1t is still possible that
the levy can yet be made. It is also prob
able that the county commissioners, who
| are very friendly to the fair, may find
means to extend aid to the project.
Mr.. Heath was in favor of going ahead
| with the fair even If tents had to be uset
for the exhibits: It is likely. however
| that temporary buildings will be erected
for the exhibits. The material il
| these buildings can be used mex
year for the smaller buildings on the fail
grounds. In case the county levy canno
| be made at all the fair directors will cal
upon the legislature next winter for ar
appropriation sufficient to put ,d the fan
| fair At least two large and permanent
buildings will be built by that time, If the
/ hopes Of the directors and promoters arr
| we'll founded.
| In the meantime, the thing for Topeka
| people to do right now is to talk for AND
| boost the state fair all the time.

didn't seem to be favorably impressed
with the idea.
He admitted that the Joplin agency
in Missouri had been closed down un-
der the trusteeship because the agent
in charge had been incompetent and
also that when the trustee had taken
charge the policy had been to close
down a number of the agencies con-
centrating their energies on a Few ana
building up those particular branches
The number of agencies in active oper,
alton had been cut about in half since
the trustee took charge. The $50 sal
airy in addition to the commission on
the oil had been cut out, the OIL pe:ns
made from the sale of the oil was his
The highest grade oil was being sole
to the agent at about "a to Is cents
per gallon.
Though the appraisers, A. L. Lucas.
Harry Richter and James A. Flemins,
had appraised the total value of the
company's holdings at s625,O0O. he
considered them to be worth at their
going value at about 100000 addi-
tional. This would make the property
worth $S25,000 as his idea Enough
oil had not been produced from lot "a.

They were stopped up with sand" saio
he.
''Well, how much were you getting
from them?"
Lot 43 practically wasn't producing
anything
In explanation why the wells hadn't
been cleaned out, he stated that the
trustee did not have money enough.
Later he gave 1t that the wells pro-
duced all together probably $1,000
barrels since the appointment of a
trustee.
He valued the lease on that lot at
$4,000. 1.-THE lease has only been
one-half developed. They claim they
have got $50 feet of oil sand adjoin-
inr the lot. This lease being isolated,
not bein drained with other wells
around, should say ougl1c ~ be
worth $150,0O0." said he
It was remarked that the lease had
only seven years more to run.

CRACKED THE SAFE.
Robbers Used Seven Charges of
Dynamite in Securing 5000.

Tryon, Okla, May 2.-Five bank
robbers entered the Farmers State
bank of Tryon early this morning and
after demolishing the big safe with
seven charges of dynamite, secured
$500, and escaped.
1t is believed that they live in the
vicinity of Tryon and the officers are
now securing Lincoln county for some
trace of them. They forced an en-
trance from the rear and while three
of the gang remained on guard out
side, the others entered and cracked
the safe. The first explosion awakened
a number of the citizens who turned
out, but they were fired upon and
kept at bay while six other charges
were applied which wrecked the vault
and enabled the robbers to get away
with the plumber. A running fight
followed in which fusillade of shots
were fired, but no trace was left be-

ARSENIC IN THE BOTTLE,
Now Believed That Caused Death of
Andrew Linder.

Sheriff Wilkerson spent the entire
day Friday in the investigation of the
death of Andrew Under, the Swede,
who was found in the Kansas river
near Auburndale a few days ago.
The sheriff took the bottle found near
Lfnder's body, and showed it to
large number Of druggists, asking
them to state the former contents
The bottle, two-ounce vial bearing
the blown label, "Gatlin Drug Co."
contained a few drops of some red
dish liquid, resembling whisky. Every
druggist of local repute who examin-
ed the bottle said: cit smells like
'Fowler's Solution" Then they
would compare it with their own
supply of this drug, and the similar
ity in appearance and odor was very
close. "Fowler's Solution" is a SOL
uble form of arsenic used for medi-
cinal purposes. Although it is not
pure arsenic, it is SO strong that 20
drops is a killing dose. Three drops
is sometimes prescribed in certain
ailment
From what the druggists say"
said Sheriff Wilkerson, "the original
contents of this little bottle would
kill 3 or 20 men. If Under emptied
this bottle down his throat his death
is easily explained"

removed from a world of misery by
humane bullets, and also a number of
pictures of children who had been
rescued from starvation and worse
than death.
The county commissioners express ed
their unqualified approval of the work
