An Italian kidnaper in New York
has just had his sentence of rs to so
years in prison upheld by the courts.
Kidnapings have stopped since this Sc
we're sentence was imposed. More
crimes might be checked in the same
way If an unwise and dangerous senti-
mentality did not so often intervene
to lessen the deterrent effect of pun
ishment and turn criminals loose up
on the community.

A Washington chauffeur has been
sent to jail for three years for taking
a JOY ride in his employers automo-
bile without permission. Courts and
public are realizing that drastic meas
ures are necessary to break up the
joy-riding practice and the stealing of
motor cars for this purpose The jail
sentence is a good experiment along
this line. 1t might be extended to
take in all speeders on the public
highways.

Seven policemen in New York were
recently decorated with medals for
conspicuous bravery in the discharge
OF their duty. The incident ought to
make it remembered that the rank
and file of every police force is full
of potential heroes, who need only
the occasion to make themselves &C
tual ones, and this should offset to
some degree the disgrace brought
upon the profession by the grafters
in high places and the rascals In I'd.

WHITE HORSEHA|R
A|CRETS FOR HATS
CHICAGO MANUFACTURER NOW
MAKES IMITATION AlGRETS-
DEALERS RAISE PRICE.

Chicago, oct 2S. A corner in
white horsehair for the making OF
imitation aigrets for wOmcn's hats
came to an abrupt and melancholy
end in Chicago becaIse the heavy
purchases of white hOrsehalr aroused
the curiosity of dealers. The story
is romance of the new tariff law.
One manufacturer who had original
ity as well as artistic instinct de-
cided that he could make a very
satisfactory imitation of an imported
aigret by using white horsehai, in
stead of feathers OF certain birds
The new tariff law is very drastic
for it compels custom house inspec-
tors to remove and confiscate the
prohibited articles when worn on the
bonnets of incoming tourists. de-
lighted with his idea of a substitute
for feathers he set out to procure
the material He was determined
to keep the plan a secret and dis
tributed his orders among many
houses dealing in the horsehaiI
goods All went we'll for 4 few days
but he was simply horriiied one
morning to be told that the price of
white horsehair had just doubled
overnight. A big hole was made in
his profits and he suspected treach-
cry among his employees hut in this
events proved him to oe wrong The
was simple when he
found it. When he bought the horse
hair the sellers naturally looked
up his commercial standing. They
found that he was a maker of feaCh
er goods The next question waE
what on earth was a maker Of
feather goods doing with white horse
hair" They soon found out that he
was buying from every firm that |
sold the goods he wanted and th2t |
his orders were considerable. The |
doubling of the price was the result |
and while our maker of feather |
goods has a fair thing the monopoly |
feature has departed what he
should have done was to have ar
ranged with some dealer in horss-
lair to do the bIying for him." said
1 trade expert Orders from such
1 source would have attracted no
attention and the small share of the
profit he would have he'd to pay
would have heightened the life ana

IRELAND CLAIMS BAG PIPES.
Used for Centuries Before Used il
Scotland or Elsewhere.

Chicago, Oct 2S.-Bagpipes We're
squealing in Ireland centuries before
they came into use in Scotland, Eng
land or Wales, according to Francis
O'Neil former chief of the Chicago
police department, who has perhaps
gone further into the lore of Irish
music and Irish musicians than any
one else of modern times. In a new
book of his Irish Minstrels and Mu-
sicians," he devoted on chapter to
the antiquity of the bagpipe, recount
ing the history of that instrument in
ireland, Scotland, England and Wales,
and saying that Ireland may well
claim the bagpipe long in advance of
the other countries. EX-chief O'Neil
is himself a performer of merit on
the flute and violin and he dwells at
length on the accomplishment of many
old-time and presept-day performers,
mentioning many in all parts of the
United states. According 10 the au-
thor, there were harpists and nipers
in ireland hundreds of years before
the Christian era, and he traces the
music of Erin down through the Cer-
turtles to the present. Long after the
harp players and pipers came the
nutists and tiiddlers to whose melod-
ic influence on the people of Ireland
Capt. O'Neill pays homage Coming
down to more recent times the book
contains an interesting chapter on
famous harpers in the seventeenth
and later centuries Among the gal
lNy of names that of Turlough O'Car-
olan stands out pre-emnent.

THE GAS SITUATION.

At a meeting of the board of city
commissioners, held last night, the
city attorney, |. h. Mason, and the
MAYOR, w. X. Roberts, were instructed
to 20 before the State Corporation
Commission at the capital and make
complaint before them of the lack OF
gas supply for the city, The resolu-
ton also included the investigation Of
telephone rates and any other mat
ters they might be pleased to present
TO the commission.
But that which Ardmore is chiefly
interested in at this time is the gas
situation. From information as best
we can gather it from local sources,
the supply in the Oil City field Is not
sufficient to take care of the neces-
sites of the city The gas company
has been operating a rig of its own
in the field and hoped to uncover
enough gas to meet the winter de-
mands, but it has failed to do so.
The next move to obtain natural
gas is to extend the pipe line sixteen
miles to Loco where, it Is stated.
three wells now have capacity of
fifty millions of cubic feet per day.
This would cost approximately $780,
600. The owners of the gas wells will
not build the pipe line, neither will
they guarantee that enough gas will
he sent through such a line to pay for
its first cost, without adding inter
est or profit on investment. The
truth of the situation is about this
that gas wells in this portion of the
state, at least, are shallow and are
short lived wells As an instance of
what short time wells produce, the
Skillern well may be referred to. DR..
Skillern reported that his well pro
duced, when brought in, 22,0O0ooO. The
well did test out 7,OoOOoo and it was
attached to the pine line and exhaust
ed i'm about two months The Skilcru
people claim that the gas company
ruined their well, and the gas COM
rauy state, that if removing the gas
it supplied ruined il, then they plead
guilty
lt is very probable that "a Gas in

joct, probably, a test of the matter
, TO make the company show its hand
and prove that it is doing its duty as
Il public utility company of the state.
The idea expressed by some is that
if TINS company cannot produce gas
sufficient to supply the town, that its
charter can be taken away from it and
that another company will supply the
gas This Is improbable, highly i'm
probable, on account of the short life
of the wells and Ardmore would bet
ter keep the company it has than to
have none 1t is very doubtful if
such an ordinance could be enforced
in the courts.
The board Of commissioners are to
be commended for the action they
have taken in sending their mayor
and attorney to the office of the cor
poration commission to file com
plants While there they can con |
in the Loco district They can learn
# the negotiations pending. They can
ascertain if some petty fight is on
with the members of the gas com
Dany, and there is a chance to solve
he problem.
From standpoint of business, it
eems that the gas company would sell
I'll the gas it could get through its
mains for the reason that they make
| profit on it, Nothing can be gain
ID in passing bitter criticisms upon
he gas company, the city has now Ia
zen the matter up, and if there is
olution, they will be able to find it.
n the meantime every home ought
0 be provided with emergency coal or
'ood stoves. $

this country have proved, to their
complete satisfaction, the great di-
gestive and curative values of Stuarts

sia Tablets is so powerful that one
grain of it will digest 5000 grains of
food, and it will even co this in
glass tube without the aid of mans
stomach. Just think what it means,

with hurtful acids and alkalies. The
rest it will receive will be priceless.
