Late Saturday night one of the most Important property transactions ever consummated in the oil fields in south ern Kansas was closed, whereby the Uncle Sam company secures control of 446 acres of proved oil lands with fourteen oilers and one fifty well pumping plant. One of these wells is a great gas well, in addition to the oil and in this field a valuable gas and oil land is one of the surest and best gas fields in the state. There is room on this property for over 120 more wells, and this land adjoins the refinery site, and the oil will be handy to market, and in addition thereto two miles of val uable water rights are secured also. The importance of this transaction to the Uncle Sam company can hardly be told on paper; it has to be seen to be appreciated. There are two great oil pools near Cherryvale one is In La bette county Just across the line, where the Publishers' company now has forty-eight producing wells and two pump in; plants, the other is the one known as the Veeders pool just west of Cher ryvale on Drum creek. The managers of the Uncle Sam company have held an option on this property for some time and had it In view when they located the refinery where they did. This land lies to the south of all the wells on the west side and the land dips towards the south or, in other words, Is down the creek. Other oil men have tried time and again to secure this field, but the men who had proved it and drilled the fourteen wells wanted to be sure of a market for the oil, so they joined the Uncle Sam company. There is no doubt but what this tract is the center of the west side pool, as the wells on the north and west are light and continue to increase in production as they go down the creek towards the Veeders land, and one well on this Veeders tract Is a real gusher and will throw oil 300 feet, in the air today when turned on, and there is room for fifty more right in the same bottom, while the Uncle Sam company controls the lands for nearly a mile on all sides. If you think the Uncle Sam company is not getting there with both feet just come down and go over the property. On this land is enough water to supply a dozen refineries. The Way Is Clear for the Uncle Sam Oil Company, With Thousands of Barrels of Kansas Oil With Xo Market and Rig Money In Refining Every Barrel. The Standard Oil company only last week served notice on the Kansas oil producers that it would no longer take oil under 30 gravity test. This order cuts out over one-half of the oil produced in the state and leaves it without a market. There is big money in every barrel of it, and it can be bought at a reasonable price. The Uncle Sam company could five fold its money in the next three years by building large storage tanks at different points In the oil fields and buying and storing this oil. This company is rapidly crowding ahead. Big results can be expected. The man who is wise enough to put from $40 to J 3,00 0 in the Uncle Sam stock will find himself possessor of valuable property before the year 1905 is end ed. Come down to Cherryvale; go out where the workmen are putting up the buildings and look over the holdings of this company, and you will soon realize that the Uncle Sam company is going into business to stay. This company will not only buy oil from other producers, but will own and operate its own wells. From a thousand feet under the ground it will take the oil through its different stages until it is burning in your lamp. The capacity of the refinery can be increased from time to time and without a shutdown this company can, by good management, Increase its capacity to past one thousand bar rels a day in the next year. The time to buy your stock is now, before these results are accomplished. When you invest you pay no more than hun dreds of other Investors who have lined up with this company In the last ten days. Oil Properties Enough Xow Owned and Controlled by the Uncle Sam Refinery to Furnish. It for Fifty Years. It would be just like building a first class battleship and putting it in the middle of the Sahara desert as to build a refinery In southern Kan sas, or anywhere else, without sure production and proved oil lands to back it up. Practical men are at-the head of the Uncle Sam refinery men who succeed. They are looking ahead for breakers they know they have the strong arm of the state for pro tection, and they know they have in Kansas alone an everlasting market for all the oil they can refine, and they have now, as before stated, secured enough oil rights to insure them oil for the next half century. Now, if you want to join a company that is play ing safe one that will protect your interest, buy some of this stock be fore others secure what you want. It is only a few minutes ride out to the properties from Cherryvale. Come down and see for yourself and talk matters over with the men here. Stock Should Go to at Least 50 Cents Per Share In the Next Four Months. With a thousand barrel refinery In op eration, and with oil lands and oil wells that the Uncle Sam company will con trol by that time, do you think you will be able to buy any of this stock under 50 cents per share. The men at the head of this company are practical bus iness men. They are working tooth and nail for the grand success of this re finery. It will be built and in operation before some "don't know what to do people" will have made up their minds. Act now; strike while opportunity knocks at your door; secure some of this stock before it advances five or ten-fold for you will not likely have a chance again to join a refinery com pany that has as many strong points as this company. Three hundred and ninety-eight dollars cash will buy ten thousand shares if check is sent at one. Financial Condition of the Uncle Sam Company. The Uncle Sam company owns oil rights worth, on conservative basis, free of debt, over J40.000. Holds options worth $20,000 more. Cash paid in and subscribed, which'is gilt-edged, approx imately $42,000. Authorized capitaliza tion ($10,000,000) ten million. Stock now in the treasury, which will be sold for from 4 to 20 cents per share (8,000,000) eight million. The par value of the stock is $1 per share. The stock is non assessable and every share of stock draws just the same amount of divi dends as any other share. No dividends will be paid on unissued stock. How-, ever, it is the plan of the management to sell every share of this stock in the next three months and place the pro ceeds in the building up of two other refineries and the securing of additional oil lands. As before stated, there is no deadhead or promoter stock in this com pany. The managers are working for a reputation as well as money, and they are not the kind that are quitters. They mean just what they say and the man who does not invest and help this com pany on to victory because n is afraid he will not secure fair treatment spites himself more than any one else, for the company is a winner, and you will re ceive square treatment on every dollar entrusted to this company's care. The capitalization is about eight times as large as the ordinary company, but is all cash stock and the company will own one hundred times as much proper ty and be strong enough to protect its interests. No Peadhead Stock in This Company. Everybody Pays Cash and Every Share of Stock Draws Just as Much of the Dividends as any Other Share. This company was organized on the square. It was organized to fulfill a long felt want in the oil fields. It Is on a basis that any conservative man can join and not give some one else the advantage. The men who started this company are paying in proportion to what they secure with property and money, more than 4 cents per share. The managers of this company know nearly every rabbit path in Montgom ery county. Other valuable oil tracts will become the property of the Uncle Sam company. The company will grow stronger every day, hour and minute until the stock herein will be cash at ten times the present price. One suc cess generally follows another, and you can depend on success when you join this company. Personnel of the Uncle Sam Company. James Ingersoll is president. Ref erence, any bank in Denver, Pocatella, Idaho, or Larimie City, Wyoming. Mr. Ingersoll made his start In life driving a pack mule team from Fort Leavenworth to western Kansas points in 1859, when he was but 15 years old. While his home Is now In Idaho his sympathies are with the state of his boyhood, and very few pioneers of Kansas set foot on the Kansas plains before he did. J. H. Ritchie Is vice president. Like the president, he started as a pioneer in the west. At one time he was a cowboy on the ranges of Texas. For the past twenty-eight years he has been an honored resident of Mont gomery county, and for fourteen years lias been owner and editor of the old est paper under -one management in Cherryvale. He-was one of the board of regents of the State Normal at Em poria during the Leedy administra tion In Kansas.' While not' wealthy he is honorable; and took one Of the most important parts in the legisla tion enacted at Topeka. In the ab sence of the president Mr. Ritchie oversees the executive management of this company. Reference, the Montgomery County National bank, or any old citizen of Montgomery county, also the Cherryvale State bank. II. H. Tucker, jr.. Is secretary and treasurer of the company. Mr. Tuck er's father was one of the scouts in the nine days' . battle of the Arick eroe under Gen. George A. Forsythe in 1868. Kansas and Colorado are now erecting a monument on this bat tlefield. The secretary and treasurer of this company only wishes he could put up as good a fight for Kansas in her struggle with her present foe as his father did on the sands of the Arick eroe with her foes in the days of the 60's. Reference, any bank or busi ness house in Minneapolis, Kas., or the Montgomery County bank at Cherry vale, also the Cherryvale State bank. In Conclusion Will State A little over a year ago the same management who now ask you to Join, them In what they know is a wortrfy cause, and also a money maker, organized an oil company at Cherryvale, Kas. A whole lot of people laughed at them, but in one year that stock went from 4 cents to 30 cents, good and solid, and was taken off the market, an3 you cannot buy out a single one of the management today even at $1.25 per share. These men are stayers; they are not trying to entice any one into a trap to make a failure and beat them out of your money, nor are we looking for some excuse to fail. The oil company we promoted a year ago today has (48) forty-eight producing-wells, and work is now commenced on 49, 50 and 51. This company is now paying dividends. It paid a half cent per share on the 20th of January; it will pay another of one fourth per cent, this month, and may be better. This company was the Publishers. The chances against this Publishers' company on the start a year ago were 100. to 1, but it just wenjt.up a notch at a time. Jt kept going and is still going. The same men-who will raise the" money to make the Uncle Sam company one of the greatest in the world have seen the color of a dollar before, close to one hundred thousand ($100, 000.00) have gone through their hands. They are not puffed up over their success, but are plodding away now to accomplish greater suc cess. Their reputations, which they value, and their property will back the Uncle Sam company straight through. If you go with us we will guarantee you a square deal. Our homes are in Cherryvale, and we do not ask you to follow any pipe dream or to buy any blue sky. We know we have a practical proposition, one that will succeed. Publishers' stock gained tenfold solid in a year, and was taken off the market. Even greater success can be depended on in the Uncle Sam company. We have over 120 unanswered letters on our desk. We will answer them as quick as we can, but we have tried to make this ad plain, and mean just what we say. . Remit or write or wire for further particulars.

The upwards of five hundred pres ents received include a costly collec tion of jewels.

Governor Hoch today appointed K. P. Harris, who is one of Kansas' ear liest printers, as a member of the commission to build and equlrj the new state printing plant. Mr. Harris takes the place of Colonel M. M. Mur dock. who is prohibited from serving on the commission because he holds a federal office postmaster at Wichita. The commission is holding a meet ing today to take the preliminary steps towards building the plant. The other two members are Charles S Oleed of Toieka and Senator George E. Tucker of Kureka. Colonel Mur dock came also but explained that he could not serve on the commission, whereupon Governor Hoch called up Mr. Harris by telephone and offered the place to him. "Ed" Harris, as Tie is generally known, has been a printer all his life. He came to Kansas in the early davs and is credited with knowinar more about the printing business than any other man in the state. He was for years the foreman of the state print ing plant, but in later years he has held a sort or superintendent's posi tion with Crane & Co., looking espe cially after the proof work. The printing plant commission is to day considering primarily a site for the plant. There is a strong inclina tion in favor of putting it adjoining the state heating plant. The state al ready has one lot there that is avail able for the new plant. One plan that is being considered is the securing of an additional lot east of that already owned by the state, and building the basement and first story of the print ing plant on those two lots, with the second story extending over the heat ing plant also. This would give a fifty foot frontage for the basement and first story and the additional floor space on the second floor afforded by the area of the heating plant. This plan would also have the advantages which would come of bein closely connected with the state's heating plant, from which the printing plant will get itB light, heat and power. Another site that is being consider-, ed is the school building across Tenth avenue directly north of the heating plant. This would have Its advant ages in some ways, and there may be considerable material in the old school buildinar that can be used in the foundation for the new plant. As soon as the commission decides upon the location and the kind of a building it will put up. State Architect Stanton will prepare the plans for the building and the commission will ask for bids on it. One Way Rates.

In view of the in ternational situation which has prevail ed since Italy entered the triple allinace in 1SS2 she has entirely neglected her fortifications on the eastern frontier centering all her efforts on fortifying the western frontier as Italy's relations with France were then so strained, that under Premier Crispi a conflict seemed imminent. Since 1889, however, the most friendly relations have been re established with France and the opin ion now prevails here that all the Ital ian frontiers should be equally protect ed, not for aggressive purposes but so that Italy may be ready for all possi ble occurrences. Consequently the proper authorities have been studying the best methods of insuring safety of the peninsula along the eastern Alps which are strategetically Italy's weak est point as Austrian territory so pro jects into Italy as to enable a hostile army to be in the heart of Lombardy or Venetia after a few days' marches. Therefore a bill will be presented to parliament making the necessary ap propriation for the fortification of the Italian frontier in the direction of the eastern Alps, but any uneasiness on the subject in Austria is not justified.Italy's object being merely defensive.

Consignment , From Ireland . for St. Patrick's Day Was Late. The steamship Umbria, that came into port Tuesday a day late, had 2,400 bags of mail. Seventeen hun dred of these bags were from Ireland and held shamrocks, says the New York American. The shamrocks are a-coming, don't you hear the engines drumming, a-churning up the waters of the bay; there is need for care and hurry, there is cause for postal worry the Umbria has already lost a day. For in southern state and western. Irish lips repeat the question: Will the dear old shamrock come to cheer us, bring us pleasant news of lovers, give us word of sisters, brothers: give us hope they'll soon be near us? It will bring no tale of weeping, though the Irish heart be bleeding and gaunt famine sets hard upon the home. For their woe they seek to cover, only amity and love are sending over, for the Irish heart would rather bleed alone. So on western shore and southern, Irishmen are fretting, bothering, wait ing for the shamrocks from o'er the sea; so it rests with Uncle Sam to give to every maid and man of Irish blood the plant they long to see.
