 The surprising thing about pr. Will liam E. Bartons 'The Soul of Abraham Lincoln" is that after the five thousand and more books that have been writ ten about Lincoln, the author should have found so much new material. Some of this is of distinct value, but important as this is. it Is not, in our judgment, the distinguishing feature of this book. His viewpoint. the skill full analysis of conflicting evidence, and the ability which the author shows in reaching 8 logical conclusion, seems

"rHE VITAL MESSAGE"


 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. George H. Doran Company. publishers, New York City.
 In ~The New Revelation" Sir Arthur Conan Doyle described the first prin- ciples of spiritualism. Since that time science has advanced in the study of this subject and tremendous strides forward have been taken. In ''The Vi- tai Message" Sir Arthur sets forth his opinions (which are the result sci entific research) upon the blendinS or the materialistic and spiritualistic planes of existence which, if success fully accomplished, will modify all pre- vious conceptions of science, religion and life, and open up an existence which has been hitherto unbelievable
 Since the war Sir Arthur has been givnig his whole time and attention to the question which has affected the whole world: Are the dead really dead? He makes startling disclosures in this book. 1t is filled with seemingly incontrovertible evidence that com- munication between the dead and the living Is not only possible but taking place every day, and although indf- vidual beliefs may not coincide with his, his conclusions may not be ig nored.
 Concerning "materialization." Dr. Doyle says: 'T have seen father mother and dead soldier son photo graphed together. with the dead son looking far the happier and not the least substantial of the three. have seen scores of spirit photographs-ex- act images of the dead"

BEING ERECTED

Excitment will soon be running
high over the opening of the new oil
field lying along the Saline river six
miles north of Collyer. The derrick is
now being erected for the first we'll
A gang of workmen under the dir
ection of W. A. Brown, contractor and
rig builder of Augusta, Kansas, are
commencing work this morning on the
erection of the first standard Cali
fornia oil drilling rig which is being
erected for Cardwel1, Root, Foraker
& Stocl1dale associates and will be the
first to test out the possibilities of
finding oil m Trego county. There are
several thousand acres of land under
oil lease in the north part of Trego
county along the Saline river which
is good oil land but the district north
of Collyer has been selected as the
best location for putting down the
first well. The district was first locat-
ed by the state geologist working un-
der request of the Trego County Oil
& Gas Co, but it has been since visit
ed by several experienced oil men and
they have declared it to be good Last
Saturday, W. F. Hopper, from Enid,
Oklahoma, and who is now putting G
down well at Traer, in Decatur
county, visited CoIlyer and the 1oca-
tion selected for the first we'll He is
an experienced oil man and was very
enthusiastic over the prospects here.
It is his opinion that a shallow field
will be found in the ir1m ediate vicin-
ity of the first we'll He is like all
other experienced men who have Wis
tied this territory. He is positive
there IS oil under the surface and it
is only question of hitting the right
spot in sinking the well He advo-
Gates having several outfits at work
at once and in that way some one of
them is sure to hit a paying well the
first time down. Mr.. Hopper is con-
nected with the CARRIER field in Okla
hOma which is now producing 1000
barrels per day. He says that in his
well in Decatur county that a strong
flow of gas was struck at 1O16 feet
Opening an oil field in Trego county
IS just like opening field in any other
untrled territory. 1t takes a man of
courage and good judgment to make
the first start All they can Judge by
IS the general appearance of the sur
face of the earth when compared with
the appearance in other known oil
districts They have become so pro-
fcient in this that it is very seldom
that a territory is tried out which
proves unproductive. For this reason
the people of Trego county are justi-
fed in believing that a productive oil
field will be opened up here and it is
to their interests to give the pro
motors every reasonable encoura ge-
nlent within their ability.

1t was in the year 1870 that the Rev
f. X. Weinhart established st. Mary's
Parish As early as 1899 the celebrated
and sanity Dominican, Father MAJ
Zuchelli, founder of the Sinsinawa Dom
inicans, attended to the spiritual wants
of the Catholic miners and explorers of
those pioneer days. For many years all
of the Catholics of this vicinity wor
SHIPPED in ST. Paul's Church, but that
edifce becoming inadequate to accomo-
date the increasing members, the Rev.
FIX. Weinhart was delegated by the
Bishop to establish a second parish in
Mineral Point
Almost simultaneous with the cree
ton of the church and rectory occurred
the building of the parish school which
has been in charge of the efficient Do
minican Sisters of St. GATHERINGS Con-

1885 when the parish founder, Father
Weinhart, resumed charge, and contin-

spiritual destiny Of the parish, as did
also his successor, the Rev. John Hal
benkann, who remained here until
Christmas 1900, which date marked the
advent of the present pastor, the Rev
Nicholas Weyer.
The parish. always sturdy one, de-
veloped so vigorously that all was in
readiness when Father Weyer came tC
do things worth the while, and he GER
tainly proved the leader to rebuild the
entire parish into such as it IS today
one of the best in the entire diocese, th'
