i years the prevalent use. of lamp oil has been a necessity of such impoi tauco to tho ho tsehold, as weil as the use of the article in illuminating all places of business, that to disnenso with its use would be discoinrnodious, and, in fact, next tiling to an imp s- sibililv. 'the use of trie.e oils have also been a terror eoitsiim-er, from reason of the comju utids mixed together sold for genuine goods, while at; explosion of the same does often Occur, result' ng in the burning to death of innocent pei-s as wel! as it as been ihe means of destroying millions of dollars ir. property. Attempts have becrt made lime and again, and there are experiments developing themselves every day, lierein tho most active minded chemists hnvo failed to remedy the evil of explosive oils, and secure to the publican article which can be used with a feeling of security.

Tl-e firm of Barker recently established in the Me-Ehoy block, on o'cott avenue, claim that they have made the vai liable discovery of properties ou of whieh a perfectly safe and non-cxplosivc lamp Qi! can be manufaciured, and are at present "largely manuf.ieturing-this article of oil. We were shovn a test ofthe oil by inserting a lamp wick saturated wilh oil and ablaze, into tho half filled lamp, and then closed tlio mouth of the lamp. The flame was immediately extinguished, as it eaino in contact with tho oil in the Jamp. Of course we do not understand the mystery of this success, but we ask the publie to go an do. as we did examine the oil for yourselves, end become convinced lhat it is perfectly safe, non-explosive, and will Fast in quantity as long as any other oil in use.

Messrs. Hinckley Barker are tho inventors ofthe double refined nonex- plosive lamp oil the. name this oil bears. They also keep a com pleto stoek of lamps, and lamp goods, which they dispose of as cheap as any such articles can be purchased. Their burners are their own patent, and are adapted to the use of any ordinary Icmp.

There is nothing in his countenance which looks as if he was apable of any great 'wickedness; on the contrary a benevolent expression beams from a mild black eye.

We believe if the people will submit to these outrages they deserve the destinies which threaten them.

Our friend, Dr. Dood, asks us to establish this paper at Galcsburg. Doctor, don't you know it costs money to print a paper? Did you ever think that. to move an office would cost at least 8300, cash? and when we say in all frankness that put out of a subscription list aggregating over seven thousand dollars, wTo have not received three hundred dol lars, as our files will show, for we receipt every dollar wo receive through its columns, how cr.n you expect us to pull up stakes and move to Galesburg, or any other burgh? If thc subscribers would pay us half of their subscription within two weeks, we would not remain at Fort Scott one week, but would go to any place on the Osugc Ceded lands where it would be for tho interest of all parties concerned that the Axi'l-MONOPO-Lisr should bo established;" and now wo offer any man or set of men, that if they will advance, or pledge the amount above named that we will pull up stakes in a day; that they may have the press and ourself thrown in together with our assets, in the interest ofthe suffering people. And here, Doctor, wo say with the candor of an honest man, that so trrettt and trood an invest ment does not offer itself in the state of Kansas.

Not a mail comes to this office which is not freighted with praise of the paper from the people all over the south west, saying it is a good paper, and all that sort of thing; yet but few say "please find enclosed," elc. Several have como to hand saying' "discontinue," we did not subscribe for a paper to be published in For. Scott. Others, to get out of payinir tor the paper say, "discontinue," because it litis boon published at the Monitor office. A Mr.

gels his mail at Galesburg, sent such a letter. He would not give us two dollars for a paper orth the money. Tho only paper in the world wholly devoted to the defense of a people living under huge wrongs, because wo could not go where he wanted us logo. In conclusion we say, we can't go among our friends until we got the money logo with. In the meantime we shall work just as long and as many acquit ourself as an honorable man.

We can fulfill our obligations to furnish a weekly paper better and larger than wo agreed to here. When wo move it will be when the people for whom we labor help us; till then we cannot. It is with great satisfaction that we are finally remembered tho Settler's Protection Association, tho Anti-Monoi-olist was early adopted as its organ. lis Seere-tdry, Sam'l Ii. Duke, has platted us under obligations, and wo respectfully submit tho nioui-bero composing the 11 rand Council, that tho citizens residing on the Osago Ceded Lands are entitled to be informed of the results of their periodical deliberations.
