BELOTT FINDS GAS SUPPLY.
Solomon River Shows Large Amount
Citizens Test.

BelOit, Kan, Oct. 16.-COnsiderable
excitement is prevailing in the vicinity
of BelOit by reason of the discovery
of what seems to be a flow of natural
gas in the Solomon river along the
south side of ChautauQua park. A
bubbling up of the water has been
observed at times since last June but
no efforts have been made to inveSti-
gate the cause until recently. A week
ago few men went out in a gasoline
launch and inverted pan over the
place where the water was bubbling
and it was found that the gas com
ing through a hole in the pan would
ignite and burn.
This simple experiment started a
more thorough one and the Business
Mems club had a twelve-inch casing
made which could be sunk down into
the muddy bottom of the river over
the place from which the gas came.
having only an eight-inch pipe, to
which a gas jet was attached The
pressure was found to be so strong
that it was difficult to place this cas-
ing over the current and a flame two
or more feet high was the result when
it was lighted.
At one stage of this investigation
the casing was blown completely out
of the water and out of the hands of
the men who were attempting to hold
it. The place where the discovery has
been made is owned by the city and
there is already strong talk of the
city's drilling a deep well. A similar
condition was recently discovered at
Junction City and a company has been
formed there to drill for gas or OIL

AN OLD RECIPE
To DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns Gray,
Faded Hair Dark and Glossy.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray; also ends dandruff, itch
ing scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at nome, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" You will get a
large bottle for about so cents. Every
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does
it so naturally and evenly. You
dampen sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time; by
morning the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger.

THE BLUE BOOK ROAD.
Township Officers and Organizations
Pay for improvements.

Hiawatha, Kan, Oct. 16.-Persons
living along the Blue Book route in
Kansas are not to be outdone in the
effort to put the roads in good condi-
ton. One hundred persons and forty
teams appeared yesterday on the road
between Kansas City and Omaha
ready for work.
Very little voluntary work is being
done, the county commissioners and
commercial clubs in different towns
along the route furnishing the money
and men. In Atchison county 213
miles of dirt road was put in good
condition last week. The township
trustees and the Commercial club of
Atchison are dividing the expense.
A gang of men south of Atchison is

MILLER JURY HUNG.
Salina Railroad Promoter Will Get
Trial in Topeka.

Leavenworth, Kan, Oct. 16-After
being out more than "a hours the jury
in the H. Leon Miller case was unable
to agree, and was discharged, the fin
al vote standing six and six. One of
the two cases pending against the
Salina promoter probably will be
tried at the next term of the federal
court at Topeka.
The grand jury has been hearing
evidence in the MounDay case since
Tuesday and probably will not finish
before this afternoon. The MounDays
were present in court Monday but
since then they have not been seen in
Leavenworth. Their attorney also left
the city.

always wore while getting the meals.
Her weekday clothes had been
tossed here and there in her haste. A
little paper bag of her favorite but
teT-scotch lay with it's string yet IN

of loss, of an essence gone, of it's
soul and life departed. John Perkins
stood among the dead remains with
queer feeling of desolatiOn in his
heart.
He began to set the rooms tidy as
well as he could. When he touched
her clothes a thrill of something like
terror went through him. He had
never thought what existence would
be without Katy. She had become
so thoroughly annealed into his life
that she was like the air he breathed
necessary, but scarcely noticed.
Now, without warning, she was gone,
vanished, as completely absent as if
she had never existed.
He did not care to smoke. Out
side the city roared to him to come
join in its dance Of folly and pleasure.
The night was his. He might 90
forth unquestioned and thrum the
strings of joIlity as free as any gay
bachelor there. He might carouse
and wander and have his fling until
dawn if he liked; and there would be
no wrathfuI Katy waiting for him,

dregs of his joy. He might play pool
at McCIoskey's with his FOSTERING

Midway of the sleeves were fine, in

comfort and pleasure. A delicate but
impelling odor of bluebells came from
it. John took it and looked long and
