Baker Shaft House Burned.

The shaft house at the Baker mine at
Stambaugh burned last Sunday morn
ing about four o. clock A telephone
message was received here by Supt.
w. J. Richards at four in the morning
and at tivehe was on the ground but
the structure was a heap OF ruins when
he arrived.
The fire originated in the crusher
engine house but the exact cause is a
mystery. 1t is thought tnat one of the
miners came up from underground at
midnight and went into thes.engine
house, leaving a candle burning Ii
probably burned down in the interven-
ing hours until il reached the wood
work and set it afire. The men 90
home at midnight Saturday nights so
that no one was in the crusher engine
house after that hour
The crusher is located on concrete
base in the same structure as the shaft
house so that that portion of the ma
chinery is put out of commission also.
The greatest difficulty was experien-
ced in getting the cars away from the
landing brace above so that they would
not fall and smash the steam pipes
This feat was successfully accomplish
ed and the pumps kept Mt work
throughout
Two men were below at the time OF
the fire nd.they exhibited great hero
ism. They discovered the fire and
realized the necessity of keeping their
wits with them. One OF them. at the
peril Of his life. went to the upper
level and started the pump so that the
men above might have feed water and
water ~ fight the Hre with.
After the fire was out they came up
10 surface and were the least excited OF
any Of the men about the shaft
The fire will pnt the mine out of
commission tor several months. The
shipments from the property were
about completed 40 that the company
will suffer nothing from that score.

Fire at the Dunn.

An Italian boarding house burned 10
the ground at the Dunn mine last
Thursday. The fire was communicated
from the cook stove in the Kitchen.
The woman or the house went TO the
neighbors. leaving the cover of the
stove and a spark was thrown out and
fired the kitchen.
The affair. while serious, had a comic
feature. Four boarders were asleep M
stairs at the time and were awakened
by the smoke below. They jumped out
OF bed and tried to get to down the
stairway but the passage was blocked
by the flames. They had plenty of time
to get dressed but were so panic strick.
on that they rushed to the windows
and stood there tor fully ten mintues
while the flames were eating out the
lower portion CT the house. FINALLY
someone yelled to them to jump out OF
the window and they did So leaving all
OF their clothing to burn up. Had they
dressed themselves they could have
Jumped out and saved almost eve,y-
thing in the house
The building was total loss. II

NOW FOR THE RINK
Time That the Skaters Should be Laying
Plans for Rink Construction.


The cold weather of the past week
had turned attention to winter sports
and the first question up is whether or
no Crystal Falls will have skating
rink this winter. The rink last winter
was such an unqualified success that
everyone wishes il replaced again this
winter.
Several residents spoke to ths writer
this week and requested that we advo-
cate the erection CT the ground work
for rink before snow falls so that
when the freeze-up comes all tnst will
be necessary is to turn on the water.
The rink is a public institution and
should get some support from the city
authorities

BIG SANTA FE OIL OUTPUT.
More Than "a, 900 Barrels Day From
Midway Field.


San Bernardino, Calf. Oct IL
More than $4,000 barrels a day from
the Santa FEES Midway oil fields was
the record for the month Of September,
according to the complete monthly
statement which reached the Santa Fe
oil department today. The total num-
Der of barrels given in the report is
1876. This is one of the largest
flows ever recorded from that field and
is an increase of 53,242 barrels over
last months flow of 141.944 barrels
This increase is partially due to the
recent striking in that field of several
new live well Of gusher proportions,
and it is thought that this month may
see a proportionately large increase,
as the wells have struck a pretty good
gait during the past couple of weeks.
SThe report shows a gain in the Ba-
kersfield oil fields also, there being
1880 barrels turned out from that
field to the 37,135 of August This
figure has several times been ovar-
topped, however.
The Olinda fields fell down slightly
from their August mark. which was a
rather good one for that field. During
September this field turned out 6S,-
034 barrels, and in August the figure
was 70,154.
The report was quite late in arriv-
ing because of some delay in the fig
ures from Midway. It is generally re-
ceived shortly after the first of the
month, but did not arrive completely
until today.

LED CHURCH FIGHT
DIR. Saunders OF Topeka Active
in Congregational Contest.
Insurgent Forces Got Victory
for Central Church Power.
COMMITTEE HAD WORK
Was Unanimous Except Upon
Administrative Question.
Wichitan Turned Gathering
From Heat to Laughter.

Boston, Oct. 17.-Dr. Frank K.
Sanders, president of Washburn COL
lege at Topeka, led the ''insurgent''
forces in the Congregational church to
decisive victory when the much dis
cusSed question of the control of the
societies of the denomination by CEN
trail power, the national council was
settled after a spirited battle on the
convention floor. Doctor Sanders read
the report of the committee, He told
the convention that the committee had
worked day and night and was unani-
nous except in regard to the resolu-
ton developing the administrative
powers of the council.
After reading the report, Doctor
Sanders answered questions concern
ing it. Rev. George s. Kicker of
Wichita, Kan, turned the convention
from heat to laughter when he de-
clared himself an "insurgent" while
speaking against the use of the phrase
board of CONTROL
The fight over the councils au-
thority over the American board was
the hottest of the meeting. Doctor
Sutherland of New York pointed out
that the status of the American board
and the American Missionary society
differ from other societies of the de-
nomination.
DR.. Alexander Lewis of Kansas
City pointed out that the membership
of the American board is not always
constituted as supposed. He said he
knew of concrete cases where a states
recommendations of members had
been neglected by the boards nomi-
mating committees and men living out
side of the state have been selected
Opponents of Doctor Sanders progress
sive views sent hot shot into the CEN
tralization proposition. Conservatism
was voiced by every second speaker.
Conditions that have worked should
not be disturbed, it was said
Advocates of the progressive meas
ure were in the majority, however.
They believed it to be in line with the
demands of Congrega tionalisn of to-
day and the resolution was carried by
vote of 143 to 1913. The Rev Will
lam NJ. Elledge of Wellington, Kan,
took the floor to urge the nine socie-
ties of the denomination to have their
national conventions at the same time
and place.

FOREVER ENDS INDIGESTION
No Heartburn, Gas, Sourness or
Dyspepsia Five Minutes Later.

one of you may have an attack of In
digestion or Stomach trouble at any
time, day or night.

gest anything you eat and overcome a
distressed, out-of-order stomach five
minutes afterwards.
If your meals don't tempt you, or
what little you do eat seems to fill you
or lays like lump of lead in your
stomach. or if you have heartburn, that
is a sign of Indigestion.
Ask your Pharmacist for a 50-cent
case of Pape's Disapepsin and take a
little just as soon as you can There
VIII be no sour risings, no belching OF
undigested food mixed with acid, no
stomach gas or heartburn, fuIlness or
heavy feeling in the stomach, Nausea,
Debilitating Headaches, Dizziness or
intestinal gripping. This will all go, and,
besides, there will be no sour food left
over in the stomach to poison your
breath with nauseous doors.

for out-of-order stomachs, because it
prevents fermentation and takes hold
of your food and digests it Just the
same as if your stomach wasn't there.

ach misery is at any drug store, wait
ing fo~ you.
These large 50-cent cases contain
more than sufficient to cure almost any

DOES A GREAT WORK.
Manhattan College Students are LEARN
ing Practical Things.

Manhattan Kan. Oct 1.-THE
work an agricultural college does for
a state would be invaluable if only
the students were taught who attend
the institution. But nowadays agri-
cultural colleges must do much more
than teach regularly enrolled students.
It has come to pass that the people at
home must have information upon af-
omy and the industries To supply this
demand the K. s. A. c has men anG
women in the field constantly. These
men and women lecture upon several
important and interesting subjects.
They give demonstrations upon mat
tiers of incalculable Importance.
For instance: There are in the
state, this month and next month, lee
turers and demonstrators instructing
the people in dairying and poultry
breeding; forestry and the quality of
wheat; soil fertility; human rations;
roads and bridges; orcharding; and
farm machinery. And now, added to
this attractive program. is the Pork
Production Special on the Rock ISL
and railroad, which leaves Manhat-
tan October II, for a six days trip
of lectures and demonstrations
But October and November are ex-
ceptionaI months. The work of lectur-
ing and demonstration goes on
Throughout the year, not stopping even
for vacations Men are kept out week
after week, showing farmers how to
improve the quality and the, yield of
their crops. There are field days to
demonstrate orchard spraying; field
days to show how potatoes should be
grown to get the best results days
when corn is the special subject; and
days when wheat has the time of the
lecturers. Within the past six weeks
sewing and cooking clubs have been
organized in many small towns by col
lege specialists in house economics. No
instruction possible to supply could be
more important to every home in the
state than this.
Beginning October II, George S.
Hine and F. S. Jacoby will be busy
lecturing on dairying and poultry
breeding. Their work in that depart
ment will continue until October %.
| The first lecture was at Burlingame,
on Tuesday and the last will be at
Louisburg, October Is.
At Chaflin, on October IS, l. A.
FItz, of the new department of in
| dustrial milling, will lecture on the
quality of wheat, and will be followed
upon the same platform by C. a. Scott
| in the interest of forestry. These lee
lures continue to November 5, when
they close at Lyons, Kansas
