8. If both classes of stock are con-
sidered together, it is evident that, as
the result of the reorganization of
1896 the Atchison stock issues were
inflated, without adding anything to
the value of the property or to It's
earning capacity, to the amount of
$166096,1S4. Dividends are now paid
upon this watered stock to the
amount of $9,167 627 annually This
amount is considerably more than
double the total annual payments by
the Atchison to its locomotive engi-
neers and firemen.

VISITS RATT!EsBURG

II. F. Lee, of Findlay, Ohio, oil and
gas expert, who spent some time in.
specting the oil prospects in this To-
cality during 1911, arrived here today
to interest Ohio capital in the work
OF testing out the oil prospects which
he declared on his former visit to be
as favorable as in any oil bearing field
he has visited during his twenty years
experience in the oil industry.
Mr.. Lee recalls that though gas was
in evidence at Findlay, Ohio, it took
fifteen years of constant work to
arouse sufficient interest in that field
to raise funds for the first test we'll.
Since oil was discovered there Mr..
Lee says the Findlay wells have yield
ed nearly billion barrels of crude
oil. He expects to remain here until
something is done towards the putting
down of a test we'll.

Special to The Neios.

SpecadI TO inc NeOS.
jackson, Miss, April 22.--Methods
of campaigning to be used by aspirants
for circuit judgeships, and chancellor
ships under Mississippi's new elective
judiciary system is now subject Of
much discussion in political circles.
With the evident purpose of setting
a standard the bar of Sunflower eoun-
ty has adopted resolutions pledging
the members not to support any aspir-
ant for judicial office who personally
solicits votes. Whether this plan will
be adopted by the voters generally re-
mains to be seen, and it remains to
be seen whether members of the bar
are going to command any large
amount of influence in directing the
voters as to the qualifications of the
various aspirants.
Already some of the judicial candi-
dates who have formally announced
are busily soliciting votes, and indi-
cations are that the campaign methods
of those who seek judicial plums may
not be on higher plane of dignity
than those adopted by candidates for
other offices. ,.-.-f.

Another large audience was in at

themselves in commentator of the
evangelist and his methods. This Is
declared to be sane and sensible"

inspiring by the hearty singing of the
congregation. The special number
was trio rendered by the McClung
sisters and Mrs. j. S. Zeran.
The audience gave undivided atten-

throughout his sermon, which was on
the Power of God" The text was
the words of the apostle Paul, II am
not ashamed Of the Gospel of Christ,
for it is the power of God untq saliva
ton"
The preacher said Paul's injunction
was to preach the Word" Preaching
philosophy, literature, sociology, and
kindred things is not preaching the
Gospel of Christ, and therefore not
the Power of God" 49,
The Christian system rests on the
supreme authority of Jesus. Jesus
was not supreme in authority until
he had established the. facts of the
Gospel. This required his death, the
descent into the tomb, and his resurrec
ton. Not until these were accomplish
ed facts did he make the statement
All authority hath been given into
my hands, both in heaven and or

obedience and will not be satisfied
with divided allegiance.
