WON'T LAST MUCH LONGER.
State Geologist Estimates Life of Gas
Wells at Four Years.

w CHS at FOur 4edfS.
Lawrence, Kan, Aug. 6-That the
gas fields in Oklahoma and Kansas
from which the Kansas Natural Gas
company obtains its gas, would not
last more than three or four years
more, is the prediction made by Prof
Erasmus Haworth, the head of the
geology department of the university.
The life of the wells will be ex-
tended, Prof. Haworth believes be-
cause all the big manufacturing con-
Germs, having sensed the approaching
failure of the wells, have ceased to
rely on gas entirely, and many of them
use other kinds of fuel. He also sta
ted that the output of many plants
that consume a large amount of fuel
had decreased materially. These con-
ditions help the situation to a great
extent, but the outlook then, is not
promising in the least. Housewives in
the near future will have to burn coal
and wood in their stoves instead OF
gas.
The Gushing fields upon which many
are counting a great deal, Mr.. Ha-
worth thinks may give out at any time.
These fields may be similar to the
Hogsugar fields, which gave out con-
trary to the statements of many auth
critics.
Mr.. Haworths statement was: "At
the present time I do not think that
the gas in the Kansas and Oklahoma
fields will last more than three or four
years more, if used only for household

Engaged Now.

Salina, Kan, Aug. 6.-Professor w.
H. Stewart of Salina, who claims dis
tinction of being the Oldest school
teacher, in point of service. in Kan
sas. is in receipt of a letter which he
finds to be the most interesting as
we'll as satisfactory one of his life.
This letter was written by David N.
Tidrick of Londonderry, o. 1t was
received by Mr.. Stewart and answered
by him before retiring that night.
In the year 1866, when Mr.. Stew
art taught his first term of school, Mr..
Tidrick was among a large class of
his pupils and also attended the same
school, located at Londonderry when
Mr.. Stewart was the teacher in 1867.
The two became close friends as they
roomed together at the home of Mr..
Tidrick's parents. In 1867, Mr.. Stew
art moved to Kansas and in the years
that have lapsed since that time the
two men have never heard from one
another until the letter of Friday
morning. 1t seems several years ago
Mr.. Tidrick heard a man by the name
of Mr.. Logan mention Mr.. Stewards
name and upon inquiry was informed
that his address might be obtained
from Mr.. Stewards sister at Cam
bridge, 0. He Immediately wrote the
sister for the desired information.

DODGE WANTS NEW LINE.
Commercial Club Goes After Scott
City & Northern.

Dodge City, Kan, Aug. 6.-The Dodge
City Commercial club has decided to
go after the extension of the Scott
City & Northern and the Midland VAL
ley railroads with the same degree of
energy it pursued to Colmor cutoff of
the Santa Fe. 1t believes that a juno
ton here of these two roads would
materially aid the city in it's plans of
expansion and that the aid Dodge City
and Ford county could give the two
railroads would be of advantage to
them. P. H. Sughrue has been appoint
ed special representative of the club to
confer with the Midland Valley Off
Gals and determine what they desire
from this vicinity. L. J. Pettijohn, re-
ceiver of the Dodge City land office,
has been chosen for the same duties
with the Scott City & Northern. Both
men have dates within the next few
days with representative road authori-
ties and farmers living along the pro-
posed routes will be present at the con-
ferences to speak for themselves and
neighbors in the matter of right-of-
way grants. A special meeting of the
club will be held in the near future
for business men here to learn of the
railroads demands and determine
whether they can be matched.

MILITIAMAN DESERTED.
Wichita Boy Had Sore Feet and May
Face Court Martial.

Wichita, Kan, Aug. 6.-That a
member of the National Guard is liza
BILE to court martial, should he desert
while the state troops are attending
an encampment or maneuVerS under
the direction of the war department,
is what Captain Frank E. Barr of
company A, Second Kansas regiment,
believes. As a result Captain Harry
A. Menkemyer of company 1, will in
all probability cause the arrest of a
young Wichitan, who left his company
at Fort Riley last week without leave.
According to members of company
1. this youth became awfully tired on
the second day at the camp. On the
third day he refused to take part in
the drills, complaining of sore feet. He
did not want to have the army doc
tors attend to his "tootsies," and when
left alone he disappeared.

HOW TO GAIN HEALTHY FLESH
Geo. w. Stansfield Advises Use of
SamOSe.

While thinness may not be a dis
ease, yet it is in reality condition
that needs attention. Under the nour-

This remarkable flesh-forming food
strengthens the system generally and

good, natural plumpness results.
An ounce of flesh is better than

his customers and to induce them to

Beloit, Kan, Aug 6.-Fearing a
shortage of water because of the long
drouth, the city board of health has
ordered that no water be used for lawn
sprinkling until it rains, or if it doesn't
rain for about six months, until the
new pump for which the contract has
been let is installed and supply well
is placed in commission. While there
is an abundance of water for all or

making the big pump station west OF

have plenty of water for fire protec-

meanor punishable by a fine of 800 to
use water for lawn purposes.

rains have stilled the enthusiasm with
which the grasshopper started about a
week ago Millions of the hoppers We're
killed by the rains and a majority of
the farmers are taking advantage of
the wet condition of the ground to
plow rather than fighting hoppers.
The dry condition of the ground has
caused such grave fear that no fall

say they are glad to turn the poor
feed prospects over to the hoppers in
return for the chance to get the 1914
