ERN OIL FIELDS.

One of the most promising oil

veloped in tephens county and the
section adjoining it, according to DR..
Charles n. Gould, former state geolo-
gist, who delivered an address at
the monthly dinner Of the Brother
hood of St. Paul's cathedral, Thurs
day night.
This territory, DR.. Gould asserts,
logically belongs to Oklahoma City,
as the northeastern fields belong to
Tulsa, and costly mistake is sure
to be made II home capitalists do
not step in and taFs the lead In its
development He called attention to
the fact that the strongest gHs well
for it's depth in the world has just
been located in, Stephens county, and
insists that this offers golden op-
portunity for the construction of a
municipal pipe line that will supply
Scent gas for manufacturing pur-
poses.
The subject of the address was the
mineral resources Of the state OF Ok
lahoma and DR.. Gould made it in
tensely interesting and educative.
Various mineral sections of the state
were outlined on a map. For instance,
he said that the gypsum deposits OF
Oklahoma, II loaded on cars, would
make up train long enough to reach
twelve times around the earth at the
equator. There is enough" he said,
"to keep 100 mills running full time

Alma, Kan, May 17.-That he chose
death rather than face the verdict of
the jury in. case in which he is
charged with the murder of Anthony

ing the death of Paul Roberts, who
was found dead in his cell this morn

to call Roberts into court to hear the
jury's verdict of guilty of murder in
the first degree"
Roberts is believed to have taken

The meeting, which followed the
dinner, was presided over by Leon
ard H. Bailey. Bishop Brooke intro
duced the speaker, WHO talked for
more than an hour, taking up almost
every phase of Oklahoma's natural
resources and handling it in simple
terms easily understood by the lay
mind not trained to technical terms.
He opened his address by saying
there are 100000 people in the state
who never saw field OF wheat, a
like number who never saw field OF
cotton and half million who never
saw a coal mine--a still greater num-
Der who never saw zinc mill, or a
salt plain, and so on through some
of the richest resources of the state.
There are six or eight salt plains
where springs of strong salt brine
are boiling from the surface. He in
sists that there is enough salt water
going to waste in this territory to
manufacture 100 tons 81 salt every
day in the year.
The largest deposits of asphalt in
the United States are found in south
ern Oklahoma, according to DR..
Gould. There are perhaps twenty
places where liquid asphalt has been
found. Nothing makes better pave

Oklahoma asphalt. DR.. Gould in this
connection declared that Ardmore has
the best paved streets of any city
in America.

The research laboratory of The Swift

the most virulent types have been the re-
suit of coming in contact with disease
germs in public places, and the apparent
ly insignificant pimple has been the
cause. 1t Spreads with astonishing ra-
pidity, often injecting the entire system
in few days.

a remedy to cope quickly and thoroughly
with such a condition, and thanks to the
energy of its producers the famous

is somewhat revolutionary in its compo-
sition, since it accomplishes all that was
ever claimed for mercury, iodides. arsenic

vet it is absolutely a purely vegetable
