HAMILTON, NOTARY PUBLIC, PHONES 3 AND 87. LAHARPE, KANSAS. We Do Neat and Artistic JOB WORK I Oil and Gas NOTES B. P. McDonald, the Ft.

Scott man who promoted the Katy railroad line from Moran to Piqua, has secured a gas and oil lease on the entire rightof-way of the Katy. He expects to form a company and drill for these valuable products and as the road traverses much rich territory, it seems likely that he will strike it rich. The line here was built after the land was generally leased, so it is not likely any developing will be done about here. On October 24 W. G.

Johnson and a party of pipe line men, left Kansas City on foot to walk to Humboldt and inspect the new pipe line of the Standard Oil Company. They reached Humboldt November 8th. The big merger of Kansas oil companies seems to be a fact. The new company will have headquarters in Kansas City, and by reducing the expenses expects to be able to sell fuel oil in Kansas City and compete with the Standard. Such a concern would be a great benefit to the field.

Many gas leases are being recorded these days in the new field in the north part of the county. N. F. Acers has leased the Cozine farm: S. S.

Smith has leased 160 acres of W. A. Perkins: S. Goodin has leased lands of F. M.

Applegate, C. F. Perkins, A. R. Hughes, H.

E. Wynn, J. W. Vickers and Jacob Saar. Holeman brothers, of Bronson, drilling for gas, struck oil on the Newton farm in Allen county.

The well made twelve barrels natural and when shot may make fifty. The sand was struck at 726 feet and is forty feet in thickness. The oil is good, testing twenty-nine and the well is distant from any other development. Moran Oil for Shipment. G.

A. Long who has been developing the Moran field, says to the Humboldt Herald: "Zimmerman number two has just been drilled in and it made a splendid showing. The well was drilled to a depth of 760 feet, 30 feet of pay sand being found. The well was drilled in during the early part of the evening and before morning the oil was within sixty feet of the top. It tests 32.

Baume. E. Holmes, the man who holds the gas franchise to Moran and who has been the most extensive operator in the field, is drilling at present on the farm. He is erecting a pumping plant on the farm and is preparing to ship oil to Kansas City. The Missouri Pacific is expected to lay a switch to this farm when oil will be shipped regularly.

It is the heavy grade of oil. There are now nearly thirty wells in the Moran field and the future of the little town seems very bright, especially if they settle the gas question." Gas Rights Transferred. On October 31, there was a transfer of gas rights near Moran that may prove to be of interest. The Holeman brothers, who have been developing for gas and oil, have sold all the gas rights on certain lands to E. C.

Gatlin, J. B. Levy and J. F. Shortridge.

The gas is sold at two cents per thousand feet and the buyers agree to take two million feet by March 1905, increasing to four million feet later. A good many Bourbon county leases are included and some in Allen county. Those in this county are sections 33, south six miles to and including section 28, east six miles and back north, a total of 36 square miles. Two Razorless Shaves. Last week two young men were given razorless shaves by the frolicsome gas flames.

Ralph Skinner, while trying to turn down the gas in the stove at the home of Henry Meyer Thursday morning, received the flame in his face. It singed him some but his eyes were not hurt. Dr. Trowbridge attended him. On the same day Wendell Phillips crawled under a house to fix a pipe.

A mouse had taken quarters in the pipe and when Phillips turned on the gas the mouse flew out, the igniting gas narrowly missing the young man's face. It did bring a blush that lasted several days but that was all. Letter to Mr. T. F.

Zeigler LaHarp, Kans. Dear Sir: If you paint two houses alike with two different paints, and one takes twice as much as the other you know which paint to buy after that---so far as go-far goes--don't you? One of those paints is Devoe; the other is any average paint. The worst are worse than that; the better are not much better; no other paint than Devoe is anywhere near Devoe in go-far. Devoe is go farther; the rest are go-short go-middling and go-three-quarters. Yours truly F.

L. Chichester, and his good wife planned and perpetrated a very pleasant surprise on him. She invited a number of his neighbors and they gathered at the home of Fred Bills and from there went to the Chichester home. Some one knocked and Mr. Chichester opened the door.

He was very much surprised at the laughing crowd he found outside but had breath enough left to say "Come in." In they went and spent a very pleasant evening with games and refreshments. At a late hour the crowd departed, wishing Mr. Chichester good luck and many happy returns of the day. A number of those invited could not attend because of the inclement weather. Those present were: Mr.

and Mrs. Sellman, Mr. and Mrs. Harris, Mr. and Mrs.

On his promise to work and pay his fine and costs he was turned loose and then disappeared. Last he re-appeared here and was promptly arrested again and is now trying to arrange for a settlement of the case. (First published November 18, 1904.) Notice of Appointment Guardian.
