While attempting to paint figures of the junior class, school of art, on the side of the waterworks standpipe just north of the Kansas University campus last night a student, who is said to have been Norman McGillivray, was thrown to the ground from a height of nearly sixty feet.

McGillivray struck on his feet, breaking no bones, but probably sustaining internal injuries. The extent of his injuries cannot be learned and every effort is being made by those connected with the affair to hush the mat ter up. Painting class numerals on the standpipe has created a great rivalry among the students as to which class shall place its symbol in the most inac- cessioie place, rne party wnicn was engaged last night in this dangerous pastime had selected an entirely new spot and had sent McGillivray up in a "boatswain's chair" to do the painting He had been hoisted about sixty feet in the air when the rope, which was old and worn, gave way and McGillivray dropped. NATURAL GAS DID IT. Kansas Towns In Which Natural Gas Did the Booming Building.

Bartiesville Magnet: All that Cof feyville, Iola, Cherryvale, Neodesha and Independence are today isdue solely to natural gas. Less than a dozen years ago they were dead and waiting for the grave digger to come along. But the grave digger was very busy just then in periorming mortuary ceremony over other Kansas towns. The well driller got there first and he punched the ground full of holes. In these he found natural gas, which had a truly reani mating effect on the corpses.

The mori bund villages speedily came to life new people came in and began investing their capital in new manufacturing and commercial enterprises. The old barnacles, the knockers and the parasites who had hitherto eked out an existence from the efforts of others were forced to tne rear and buried in oblivion. The towns commenced to grow and have grown until they are today the best towns in Kansas. Natural gas is responsible for it all. The history of these towns will be repeated in Bartlesyille.

Geo eral ercUise Last Tuesday the Drill Sand. Struck the Oil Bartiesville, I. November 5. Well No. 7, the property of the Osage Oil company, from which a heavy flow of natural gas was reported last week, attracted greater attention last Monday by pouring forth an enormous quantity of petroleum.

Shortly after noon Tuesday the drill reached the stratum of oil sand and the fact was revealed by the sudden spouting forth of a thick stream of petroleum, which shot into the air far above the seventy-five foot derrick. Ever since that time the oil has been pouring forth in great volume, experts asserting that the yield surpasses that of all the other local wells combined. The internal pressure forces the oil from the well into the receiving tank, thus obviating the employment of the pump as in the other wells. No estimate of the yield in barrels per day has been given out. This information the opera tives are reserving from the public, but it requires no expert to determine that the yield is great.

The gas pressure snows no sig of decreasing, but seems stronger than at first. The drillers tried the experiment of running the thirty horse power engine by gas pressure from the well and were so successful that the boiler has been discarded. The rig is in position for the drilling of the eighth well and work will begin immediately. The big strike of oil this week has put new energy into the Osage Oil company, whereas a short time ago thev entertained doubts as to the ad visability of further costly and appar ently unprofitable developments. Now work will be pushed with greater en ergy and perseverance that ever.

An other strike or a couple of them, like that of Tuesday, will necessitate the erection of a refinery in Bartiesville The company shipped out 300 barrels of oil again Wednesday and another ship ment will probably be made the first of this week. ROMANCE ENDS IN WEDLOCK Cupid Leads to Altar an Aged Couple at Independence. Independence, November 6. Alexander Bowdish of Kansas City Mo. and Mrs.

Nellie C. Williams of this city were married at 9 o'clock this morning by the Rev. Ira A. Holbrook of the First Congregational church, at the home of bride. No invitations were issued and but few friends were present.

The bride has been a leader of women's clubs here for many years, and has figured more or less conspicuously in clubs in various parts of Kansas. Mr. Bowdish is 70 years of age and his bride is a few years younger. Their marriage has a tinge of romance. Seven years ago Mr.

Bowdish was here on business, and while driving down Main street his buggy collided with a buggy occupied by Mrs. Williams and she was thrown to the ground and seriously injured. During her illness of several weeks Mr. Bowdish visited her daily and otherwise showed courteous attention, which gradually ripened into love, resulting in their marriage today. They will make this city their home after an extended visit in the southern states.

WALKER ARRAIGNED. Ed Lancaster's Murderer Arraigned and Two Accomplices Found. Monday's Independence Reporter John Walker, the murderer of Ed Lancaster, was arraigned Saturday after noon beiore Justice Way, ana ms pre liminary hearing set for 9 a. m.on Wed nesday. Grant McFarland, arrested on suspicion of being an accessory, is still held in jail.

No formal complaint has yet been made against him, as the county attorney is awaiting further developments. The revolver that did the killing belonged to Luther Johnson, brother in-law of Pink White, and there is good reason for believing that Grant McFarland got possession of it on the train then gave it to John Walker when he was asking for a gun with which to kill Lancaster.

Not long ago an English paper wished to ascertain the best time for business men to stop advertising, and it therefore addressed a number of its largest ad vertisers, inquiring their opinion upon the subject. Here are a few of the answers received When the population ceases to multi ply and the generations that crowd on after you and never heard of you stop coming on. When you have convinced everybody whose life will touch yours that you have better goods and lower prices than they can get anywhere else. When you forget the words of the shrewdest and most successful men con cerning the main cause of their pros perity. When the younger and fresher houses in your line cease starting up and using the trade journals in telling the people how much better they can do for them than you can.

When you would rather have your own way and fail than take advice and win. TEENTON. Johnny Jameson is still chilling. Miss Lizzie Fulmer spent Sunday at home. Mrs.
