state are to have something TO say
by the election of Lynn Frazier,
the only candidate in field of
Six who has sworn unequivocal
allegiance to the farmers of the
state against the workings of the
Eanna and Mckenzie machines.
The attacks on Frazier are the
,nendacious attacks of polite
al machine which exerts it's last
ounce Of energy in protest against
a crumbling dictatorship, under
which the people of the state
have writhed and squirmed ir
vain. Like the old man of the
sea, it has affixed itself to our
backs. Only the concerted ,ef-
fort of the people of the state can
pry the parasite loose-and the
glorious opportunity for doing it
presents itself at the polls next

Warren S. Stone, Grand Chief of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, is on his way west to
obtain information covering plans
of railroads for meeting 1emer-

declared.
Before leaving New York, Mr.
Some made the statement that
there are not enough available
men who possess even a sli ight
knowledge to permit roads to op-
crate with strike breakers, and
that he is certain of winning wage
increases. ......
The conference held in New
York City between the railroad
men demanding shorter hours
and increased pay in certain in
stances, and railway managers,
which ended week ago, resulted
in a deadlock. The railroads feel
that they have made all the con-
cessions legitimately to be ex-
pected of them under present tar
iG schedules, without facing an
enormous operating deficit. The
effect of general strike through

GERMANS LOSS AT
YERDUN 100000
A Battle of Mad Men" As Described
By One Officer
VALLEYS CHoKED BY DEAD
Wounded Soldiers Fight on Until
They Drop Exhausted from
Loss of Blood-Whole
Regiments Killed

Paris, May 26.-Since Saturday
the Verdun deadlock has changed
to the most terrific battle in his
tory. Fully 100000 men are engag-
ed altogether, without a respite,
for slaughter. Whole regiments melt
in few minutes, but others take
their places only to perish in the
same way.
at is a battle of mad men in the
mist of a volcanic eruption is the
description given by staff captain
who left the fortress on a special
mission.
Between Saturday morning and
noon Tuesday we reckon the Ger
mans used up 100000 men on the
west Mouse front alone. That is
the price they paid for the recap
ture of our recent gains and the
seizure of our outlying positions.
THE valley separating LIE Mort
Homme from Hill PSI is checked
with bodies.
Even the wounded refuse to
abandon the struggle. AS though
possessed by devils, they fight on
until they fall senseless from loss
of blood, or overweight by hor-
ror."
London, May 26.-The gigantic
battle before verdun continues I'M
abated. After recapturing Fort
Douaumont and taking trenches
south and southwest of the fort, the
Germans to the west have occupied
a section OF French trenches.

Travelling North

Surveys
BIG COMPANIES IN THE FIELD

Lawrence, May 26.-Reports re-
ceivcd by Erasmus Haworth, pro-
fessor of geology at Kansas univer-
sity, show that the "oil fever" which
has been sweeping the state during
the present year has reached as far
northwest as Ottawa and Cloud
counties, where biologists have been
called to investigate the strata of
that country with relation to the
possibility of striking oil.
Mr.. Haworth estimates 100000
acres of Kansas land are under
lease Of oil promoters and large
proportion Is far to the outside of
what a year ago was considered the
oil belt of Kansas. In fact, oil and
gas promoters are working in prac-
tically every county in the eastern
half Of the state.
All the big companies operating
in the Oklahoma-southern Kansas
field are preparing to extend their
activities to the north, even on into
Nebraska, Mr.. Haworth says.
Numerous surveys are being con-
Quoted to determine the geology of
the country, for this has a direct
relation to the presence of the sand
stone in which oil is found.
Little active work has opened up
in the untried Kansas fields as yet,
Mr.. Haworth says.
If geological conditions are to
be taken as a criterion, there is
little doubt that there is oil under
parts of the new territory according
to Mr.. Haworth
