To Muzzle Standard Oil
KnaM Legislators Discuss Neisurs Calculated to Restrict Rockefeller Trust
MEDICAL -SEMINER-
Of the United States TreaTUT .Becominen da
Pe-ru-na.
Topeka, Kan., Feb. 1. The senate
went into committee of the whole this
morning for the discussion of four
drastic bill3, designed to curb the pow
er" of the Standard Oil company in
Kansas. The bills are: Froviding.for
the construction of a penitentiary in
the oil fields for refining oil with con
vict labor; .fixing maximum freight
rates on oil; forbidding discrimination
In the price of refined oil for the bene
fit of one town over another; stopping
cut throat competition, from which in
dependent refineries suffer. The ad
vocates of the bills believe their pa3
sage would free the "state from control
of the Standard Oil company.
,. The- people of the state of Kansas
seem determined to protect themselyes
from the rapacity of the Standard Oil
company that has been holding them
un on both ends -of the oil Question by
low prices for crude oil and high prices
- for the refined article. That state nas
successfully fought the twine trust by
manufacturing at its penitentiary
enough binding twine to supply the
demand of its farmers at one-nan tne
trust Drice and at a profit of many
thousands of dollars for manufactur-
ine it. - '
- The great refinery to be established
bv the state at Peru, aided by the pro
rinsed legislation r mentioned in the
above Associated- Pres3 dispatch will
not only give the people of -the state
of Kansas cheaper light but will also
erfiat.lv enhance the price of crude oil.
While the exnense of producing crude
oil is comparatively nothing, after the
wells ars drilled and fortunes are be-
ins? made at present prices, yet the
people look upon the crude oil as a
valuable asset of the state and demand
what, it is worth.
1 Below we give a map of Peru where
the great Kansas state refinery is to
he built. The map is " sectional and
accurately shows the location of the
lands of the Bueno-Ventura Oil and
Gas company, with reference to the
town of Peru. The lands are east
half of the northwest quarter and west
- half of the northeast quarter or sec
tion 33. lvine: Immediately north - of
reru and less than three miles from its
northern boundary. No wells have yet
been drilled on this land, but stock Is
now being offered for. sale for that
purpose.
The Indenendent regards this stock
as offerinc es safe a speculative invest
ment as any that can be made In that
class of investments. With oil wells
almost surrounding this tract of land
it would seem certain that a well sunk
to the proper -depth would strike the
same oil lake and be a great producer.
However, in commending this stock
as a speculative investment to those
of its readers who are looking for
scmethlng of the kind The Independent
can not guarantee a producing on
well. It will guarantee that the money
received from the sale of the stock will
be honestl anl iudiciou3ly expended
for drilling the well and for the pro
duction of oil if It is under tne land
described. The speculator who asks a
greater guarantee will usually fall into
the hands of some fake promoter wno
will promise anything necessary to
make the sale and then disappear from
sieht forever. .
The Tteuno-Ventura Oil and Ga.3 Co.
has been organized for the production
of oil and its finds will be economi
cal! v expended, to that end. Every
stockholder will share alike according
to the amount oi "his investment.
If you have a little money for specu
lation send your order for as. many
shares as you desire. '"There is a good
chance that a small investment now
may afford you a handsome income all
your life. .

Doctors have been loathe to endorse a
catarrh remedy , because catarrh and
catarrhal diseases have paizled the
medical fraternity for many decades.
The popular endorsements tnat
Peruna has received at the hands of the
people have induced a great many doc
tors to trr the remeay. , - - -
More prominent physicians use ana
endorse Peruna each year.

Catarrh is a syBtemic disease curable
only by systemic treatment. A remedy
that cures catarrh must aim directly at
the depressed nerve centers. This is
wht Peruna does.
Peruna immediately invigorates the
nerve centers which give vitality to the
mucous membranes. Then catarrh dis
appears. Then catarah is permanently
cured. .....
Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found per
manent use in so many homes is that it
contains no narcotic of any kind. Pe
runa is perfectly harmless. It can., be
used any length of time without acquir
ing a drug habit. Peruna does not pro
duce temporary results. It is permanent
in its effect. 1
It has no bad effect upon the system,
andgradnally eliminates catarrh by re
moving the cause of catarrh. There are
a multitude of homes where Peruna has
been used off and on for twenty -years.
Such a thing could not bo possible if
Peruna contained any d rugs of a nar
cotic nature.
The above is a photographic reproduction of the standard map of
Peru, Kas., and its vicinity. The circular black dots represent oil
wolls now producincr. It does not represent all producing wells on the
territory included in the map as they are constantly increasing. The
town of Peru alone has 130 producing oil wells. The lands' of the

A Splendid Team '
Editor Independent: Please find en
closed two dollars for The Independent
and, Tom Watson's Magazine. - I am
well pleased with the "Two Toms."
They are a splendid team. I am tired
of democracy. We fused in 1896 and
1900 and the result of that was- an
avalanche of failure in 1904. They can
go way back and sit down on the cold
rocks of democracy.

A Democratic Party Dead
Th New Era Magazine, in discussing
the present political situation, says:
"The Presidential canvass or iwi
made clear a number of very signifi
cant facts that will have to be recog
nized and dealt within the immediate
future.
First The democratic party, as a
potent factor In the nation's' political
organism, no longer exists, ine doc
trines and traditions of that once pow
erful body have evidently ceased to in
terest a majority of the people. The
last three presidential elections nave
proved this. Struggling in the face of
fate to regain its old-time supremacy,
it wa3 shown under iiryan mat me
nartv could not eet the conservatives
to follow a radical leader to victory.
Tt was Droved -under ParKer tnat it
could not get its radicals to follow a
conservative leader to .victory. What
valid reason then has the democratic
nartv for ptistence? The word "demo
cratic"' may survive tne presiaenua
event of .1904, but, so far as human
eyes can see, it would be the sneerest
folly to ever attempt to comDine again,
under the word "democratic," the ir
reconcilable elements of which the
party has been composed for at least
ten years."
In the same Issue Dr. parknurst
says: "Our government aepenus ior
ftt&himv on the balance of parties:
each checks the other. All know now
that. : the democratic party is not a
check' for anything. :S'ome of its most
ardent members even have been writ
ins its obituary. That situation is bad
for aii." . - i,r . '. "..
Tom Watson's opinion on that sub
ject was as follows; . 'I have, no faith
whatAvpr that reforms wilL,Jbe accom
plished by.the democratic party. It Is
discredited in the eyes of the people by
a series of crushing defeats, but it has
been so vacillating in Its course, It has
changed its principles so often, has
run from one extreme to another so
recently, had such a magnflcent oppor
tunity in isaz to worK oui tne .reiunnu
to which it stood pledged, and made
such a wretched use of that opportun
ity, that it can not inspire tne conn
dence which leads to success. In na
tional politics the democratic party
stands without a declaration of prin
ciples, or an accepted leader, it is
utterly bankrupt in reputation."
