LITTLE OIL DEVELOPMENT. Producers in the Peru, Kan., Field Suffer From a De- creased Demand. Peru, Kan., April 30. —As a result, J. E. Harper. of the decreased amount of oil which the Standard Oil company is now taking from the Peru field, the devel- opment of oil property has been greatly decreased. This is shown in thecase of drilling contractors, many of whom are now idle, whereas, two months ago producers were almost begging for contraetors to do their work. The Standard people arenow taking only 600 barrels daily from this field with a nominal production of 3,000 barrels daily. This is forcing the producer to either build tanks to store his oil, or to “plug” his wells, The former means a big expenditure in tanks which the producer cannot use later on and besides is a constant source of danger on account of fire; while the latter process, “plugging,” is very injurious to the wells, as it means a subsequent expense ofclean- ing out before pumping again, and besides may permanently injure the wells, All oil men consider present condi- tions merely temporary. Tempo- rary relief is looked for soon from the pipeline building from here tothe Caney “tank farm.”’ This will be finished in thirty days and should tide the field over present difficulties until permanent relief comes from the building of the pipeline and re- finery in Kansas City. He Shot His Wife. Bartlesville, I. T., April 30.—Jacob F. Mueller, a German miller, late this afternoon shot his wife four time with a 38-calibre revolver, inflicting injur- {es from which she died. Mrs. Muller was 32 years old, and had lived here from childhood. She was married to Mullerabout thirteen years ago. She leaves three children, aged 8, 10 and 12 years respectively. Muller came here about twenty years ago and has operated a grist mill. He bore a good reputation, but hasa high temper. His son, by a former wife, came here about eight months ago from Germany, and lived with his father until yester- day, when the elder Muller drove him away. Muller is now in jail await- ing the arrival of Mr. Gilluly, the United States commissioner before whom the preliminary trial will be held. No cause is known for the shooting. Muller declines to talk about it. Letter to Dr. Foster, Butler, Mo. Dear Sir: You understand chemie- try; how’d you like to earn $1,000? Devoe lead-and-zinc—that’s the name of our paint that takes fewer gallons thao mixed paint and wears twice aslong as lead and-oil—is made of white-lead, white-ziue, its color, turpentine dryer, and linseed oil. If any chemist finds any adultera- tion in this paint, we'll pay his bill and $1,000 besides. It’s nobody’s business what we put in our paint, of course; but we want it known. For lead-and-zine and lin- seed oll, ground together by machin- ery, are the stuff to paint with; and lead and-oil mixed by hand is not. We want it known that one word describes the be+t paint in the world; and that word is Devoe. Are you going to paint? Yours truly, F. W. Devoe & Co., New York and Chicago. P.S8.—Gough & Hess sell our paint. Calls Missouri Divorce Laws Disgrace to State. Kansas City, Mo., April 30.—“Di- vorce and whisky will send any man to the devil and the penitentiary. They are the twin evils of our civil- {sation.” Judge Wofford of thecrim!- nal court made this declaration to- day while sentencing a young man to the penitentiary. “Any man who leaves his wife isno account; any woman who leaves her husband for any reason is no ac- count. All separations of married people are wrong. The divorce laws of Missouri are a disgrace and a shame to the state. A man and wo- man, once married, ought never to except for one reason, that laid down in the Mosaic law. Old|eral poems on Western life. Moses was a sharp fellow. He wasa Thomas W.

As Mitchell only got $4 from both the banks, he thought the punishment unduly severe, but this is just the be- ginning of his trouble. From the banks at Brunswick, Keytesville, Centralia, Fayette, Shelbina and sew- eral other Missourt towns he obtain ed sums ranginging from $10 to $15 on the deposit of a check purporting to be good for $700 or $800 on the Chariton Co, bank and as soon as he gets out of jail here the Bankers’ as- sociation intends to prosecute him on every one of the other cases.
