II RJ ft tions will be snspended indefinitely after the well just north of town is completed.

We don't see why they should not. Why should the operators continue putting money into holes In the ground and pnmping oil out into tanks to waste away when no market can be obtained for the oil? But, say some, why don't Galley Galey go ahead and build a refinery and go to refining the oil and thus get it npon the market? Well we don't know; but since Galley Galey have many hun dreds, yes, thousands, more at stake In this business than any other inamauai, and since a refinery, or a market for the oil, wonld be of Incalculably more value to them than any one else, it is evident they have some very weighty and sufficient reasons for not pursuing the course which seems so apparently reasonable to the uninitiated. Tosslbly, and we only suggest this, we do not give it as a fact, that great octopus, the Standard Oil Company, might make it rather uncomfortable for any independent refineries and operators to go to proaching npon any part of the market preserve which they look npon as their own. It has been known to drive such competitors into a hole and then plug np the hole so tight that the daring competitors were never heard of again, as such. Possibly the freight rates on western roads from such inland towns as Neodesha may have a very depressing effect npon anyone at tempting to make this a base ol operations.

These are possibilities to which onr community should not shut its eyes in its eagerness to secure the benefits from our great natural resources. Guf-fey Galey will naturally do all in their power to open this field in whtcn tney have so lavishly and boldly expended a fortune, and as their long experience has certainly taught them something they ought to know nearly what the right procedure is. Other operators in the field who have not a tithe of the investment this firm has, should, instead of wonderlnz how and when a market Is going to be made, nnlte with the people and with Guffey Galey in convincing those who make and unmake oil markets, that there Is a product here worth look ing after. Possibly onr next Legislature and our State Board of Railroad Commissioners might in conjunction with the Interstate Commerce commission oring about a more equitable adjustment of freight rates. One thing to us seems certain, that is, that there must be a union of effort, a harmony of action, ana an enduring patience among all parties in order to secure a proper benefit lor the individuals and the communities which are so greatly interested in the developement of this great natural re source which has been uncovered in this portion of Kansas.

Sensational Arrest. Last Saturday II. Lardner, a deputy United States Marshall from Fort Scott, came to Neodesha and arrested Mrs. M. A.

Broofcs on charge of sending Improper letters through the malls. Some person has been writing numerous anonymous let ters of a scandalous nature, mailing them to various persons around town, and we understand this is what Mrs. Brooks Is charged with, though it hardly seems probable that she Is guilty. The arrest caused quite a sensation.

H. Pierce, of Neodesha, accompanied by Mrs. Chas. Schubert, of this city, were in Fredonia yesterday and gave the Citizen office a pleasant call. Mrs.

Lawyer Kirkpatrick. Many have an impression that Hon. S. S. Kirkpatrick may leave for Washington at any time, or by the 4th of March next, sure, to enter upon duty as a Congressman.

This is erroneous. While his term as a Con eressman begins the 4th of March. 1895, Congress always meets in regular ses sion the first Monday in December of each year, and there is no probability of a special session. Therefore Mr. Kirk patrick will not be called to Washington for a year to come, and he will remain in Fredonia until that time, in his law office, pursuing his profession as assidu ously as if he were not a Congressman, promptly attending to all business as in the past.

In fact he will work harder from now on, owing to neglect of law matters on account of the long political campaign. Kirk wants all his friends and old clients to call npon him at the old stand when they desire his legal services and he win give them the best he has in the shop. This item is clipped from the Wyan dotte Gazette of the 4th inst: "The at tention of the Kansas City, Hnmane society was called to the case of Miss Mary Benedict, at Eighteenth and Vine st. yesterday. Miss Benedict came to Kansas City several days ago, on her way to Neodesha, from Philadelphia.

She was oat of money and her case was pitiable, as the gill was acta ally destitute. She has a sister living at Neodesha, where she was trying to reach when she was taken sick.

G. K. Dunn. Mr. Morris is a substantial Kansas farmer and was reared near Springfield, Ohio.

It is a dull day that does not add at least one aspirant for a place oil some kind under the incoming State adminis tration to the large- number already in the field, or a defaulting mail that does not bring an application or request for an endorsement for an appointment for some one without the county. A happy and successful masquerade party was given at the home of Miss Clara Mariner, in the east part of the city, in honor of her nineteenth birthday, last night. About thirty yonng people of both sexes participated in the pleasures of the occasion. It was one of the most auspicious affairs of the kind ever given in Fredonia. Notice.

Collins, of this city--Mansford Coffman was elected Treasurer of Indiana, at the late November election by 83 major, ity, as a Republican.

Washington-co has been Democratic by from 400 to 800 majority for not less than forty years, and Mr. Coffman is one of the few Re publicans to be chosen an officer of that county during all that period. Cacgiit for Contempt, John Wade, of Neodesha, who was subpoenaed as a witness at the September, 1894, term of court, in a whisky case (State vs. Em merson), and who failed to appear, was arrested at Iola on Thanksgiving day on a charge of contempt of court and brought to Fredonia and lodged in jail in default of a 8100 bond.

A Warlike Spirit in Colfax-tp. Henry Frank, farmer, and B.

Russell, school teacher, with their wives, were trying to occupy different apart ments of the same house, near Vilas, this county, when trouble broke out. Russell said Frank would keep water for his chickens too close to the family well, and persisted in so doing over his objections. According to Russell's story, on the 23d of last month, the pent op discontent burst forth. Hehad iust re moved the water from the well platform when Frank appeared, violent with rage, armed with a massive club, breathing forth threatenings against his life. Rus sell picked up some heavy stones, told Frank not to advance, but who, nevertheless, approached with the club, and attempted to deal him a double-handed blow, which he succeeded in dodging, and at same time struck Frank on the side of the bead with the stone held in his hand; then wresting the club from Frank struck him down with It.

This statement Russell's wife corroborates. Frank aud some of his witnesses insist that he had no clnb, no weapon of any kind, had no intention of fighting, but that he was first assaulted and beaten without cause, that he struck no blow in return. Complaint was sworn out against Russell, charging him witb assanlt with in tent to kill, but Justice Lines, of Col before whom the action was brought, fined him $15.00 and the costs. This he had no power to do nnder that kind of a charge, and the fine is not paid, and thus far nothing farther has been done with Russell. November 24th, Russell appeared in Fredonia and filed three complaints be fore Justice Wiley, two azainst Frank, one charging an assault with intent to kill and the other disturbing the peace of Russell's wife.

The third against Barney Hennephant, a brother-in-law of Frank, charging disturbing Russell's peace. On the charge of assanlt with intent to kill trial was had before James Wiley, Monday of this week, which resulted in Frauk being bound over to appear at the District Court. Many witnesses were examined. on application for change of venue, the two remaining cases against Frank and Hennephant were removed from Justice Wiley, and by consent are to be tried on the 12th before Justice Swiler, of Colfax-tp.

A Strange Case of Forgery. Wm. H. Anderson was successfully engaged in the hardware business at Neodesha for many years, opening the first stock of the kind in that town in the spring of 1870. He quit business there about 1880.

As Mr. Anderson is well known by many of the readers of the Citizen they will be Interested in the following, copied from the Topeka Jour nal a few days since: "One of the most Inexplicable cases which has ever been before any court is that of William U. Anderson, which will be tried before Judge Foster, December Anderson is an old soldier, and the charge against him is securing fraudulent evidence with which to secure a pension. It was more than three years ago that Anderson lived at Americas, In Lyon-co. He had served his country faithfully during the war, and his health was broken ast result.

One day he came to the; conclusion that he would secure a pension. There was plenty of evidence at band to show that he was entitled to one. Anderson started to work np his case and first found what evidence was nec essary. Near him lived several men who would make the necessary affidavits, bnt strange to say, he did not go to see them, bnt wrote ont the affidavits, which the men wonld have written, himself. He forged their names, it is said, and also the certificate of the Notary Public and sent the papers to Washington.

Anderson was at once given a pension on the strength of his papers, which he has drawn every quarter. There was nothing contained in the affidavits which the men would not have sworn to if Anderson had called npon them, and why he should have forged the papers as alleged Is a mystery. He was indicted three years ago, but was not arrested nntil a few weeks ago, when he was found In Oklahoma and came here for trial." Do not forget to call on Kennedy, the Grocery and Queensware man, of Fredonia, who is daily receiving new and fresh goods for the fall and winter trade.

The committee's terms, which have not and probably will not be accepted by Ford Beck, were amply generons to deal with a company that meant real business and bad the means to back it np, but were not according to Mr. Ford's wishes. Considerable might have been said concerning the fallacy of negotiating a 300,000 deal with windy individuals who have nothing much in sight, and who are not frank and plain with their propositions, bnt it was unnecessary. The people are wide awake, and while ready to investigate! any and all enterprises, they are not going to make any bad bargains. General satisfaction is expressed at the action of the committee.
