NEW LEASE LAW
CAUSES A RUSH
ON OSAGE FIELD
Omahans Hurrying to Wy
oming Oil District to Start
Development Before Act
Becomes Effective.
Oiualiai.s and Nebraskans have
liegtm the rush to the Osage oil
f irlrU in Wyoming.
This rush lias been catapulted by
the aiuiotiiiccmen that the new
federal leasing law goes into ef-
feet August 25.
After that daU', all government
hind will be least d direct from the
Department of the Interior to the
operator.
The hind will be properly posted
and after .30 days of advertisement
will be put up for competitive bids
at the federal land office within
the district where the land is located.
Go to Highest Bidder.
Mining rights will go to the high
est competent bidder, the mining
lease being issued to such bidder
from the secretary of the interior
in Washington.
Although the old method of stak
ing out claims is annulled by the
new leasing law, entrymen having
placer mining filings covering lands
' prior .to the enactment of the bill,
.still maintain preference right to
operate on their claims until
. Auprust 25.
This is what is behind the sudden
rush of Omaha rnd Nebraska men
to the Osage fields.
Must Start Development.
They are working to get actual
development under way before the
time expires and the new leasing
law nullifies their entries and sub
sequent rights.
Because of present money string
ency, many entrymen are experi
encing diffict'lty in financing, com
panies to drill their holdings before
the allotted time is expired.
The new leasing law was passed
with the intention of driving out
''wild cat" oil ventures to as great
an extent as posible.
Present exigencies indicate the
moneyed oil speculators will have
tne edge on the smaller entrymen.
Republican Party Has
Advantage in Sure Vote
(Continud From I'age One.)
Dakota, 5; Ohio, 24; Utah, 4; Wis

Some of these states doubtless
will emerge from the uncertain
class vas the campaign progresses,
hut OYio, the home state of both
candidates, is going to be a political
cockpit this year up to balloting
time. New York and Nev Jersey,
banner republican states since the
days of Cleveland, with the excep
tion of 1912, are in the doubtful
list largely because of widespread
wart sentiment in this territory

Wilson Ideas Hurt Cox.
,-At the same time Cox will be
weakened in New York and New
jersey by his acceptance of Presi
dent Wilson's sta id on the league of
nations, the Irish element in both
states already showing signs of dis
satisfaction with the democratic
nominee on this score. In this con
nection it is worthy of note that
democratic leaders have abondoned
hope of carrying Illinois since Cox
came out for the Wilson league.
The Nonpartisan league creates
the element of doubt in North Da
kota and Minnesota. The league
controls North Dakota and is said
to be in a fair way to capture
the balance of ' power in Min
nesota. The situation there will
be clouded till the league comes out
fqr a candidate.
La Follette Controls Wisconsin.
If La Follette should remain reg-
Hijar mere would be no doubt ot
Harding carrying Wisconsin, and he
may do so in any event, for Hughes
won the state without any appreci
able help from the senator.
If Cox should carry all of the
states classed as probably demo
cratic, nc wouia nave aitogetner,
190 votes. He still would need 76
Votes. If he failed to carry both
New York and Ohio he would need
nearly all of the votes of the other
doubtful states to round out. a ma
jority. If Harding 'should realize his
minimum expectations he will have
223 votes outside of the doubtful
states. He would then need 43 votes.
New (York alone could give him the
victory without his own state, un
less California should slip from his
grasp as it did trom Hughes in 1916.
If he carried Ohio but lost New
York and California he wouljt still
need 32 votes from a list of doubtful
states having only 49 votes alto

A partial view of the Mary L,
Thirty-two years ago a young doc
tor went from Umaha to tar-away
Siam, dedicating his life to Chris
tian self-sacrifice such as is rarely
heard of in the annals of man.
The young doctor's name was J,
W. McKean. He is a nephew of C.
F. McGrew of Omaha and his name
is known throughout the world for
the relief he has brought to thou
sands of sufferers from two of hu
manity's most horrible diseases, lep
rosy and smallpox.
Leprosy a Biblical Scourge. -
In the time of Christ, leprosy was
the horrid scourge of many people.
They were compelled to live entire
ly apart from their fellowmen.
"Unclean! Unclean!" was their mel
ancholy cry whenever people ap
proached them.
Throughout the centuries that have
intervened thousands have been af
flicted with this dreaded disease and
have endured a living death before
real death released them.
Medical science has searched in
vain for a cure.
Omahan Finds It.
In vain, until this self-secrificing
Omahan discovered what is now pro
nounced a cure for many cases of
the disease.
This cure is known as "chaulmoo
gra'oil." In the American Year Book
for 1915 is found an item that states
that 23 lepers from the colony of
Culion in the Phillippine islands

DOWN AND RUN

H. Michel -Fights for Life
While Police Search
For Surgeon Driver
"Arrested.
II. Michel, 1506 North Eighteenth
street, perhaps was fatally injured at
Twenty-fourth and Cuming streets,
at 4:15 Saturday afternoon when he
was knocked down and run over by
a heavy truck driven by Olaf Peter
for the Peterson & Pegau Baking
Co. '
He was taken in the police patrol
to the Methodist hospital. No po
lice surgeon was on duty at the
station and first efforts of the po
lice telephone operator to locate one
were unsuccessful and the patrol
proceeded to the scene of the acci
dent without a doctor.
Apparently a wheel of the heavy
truck had passed over Michel's chest.
When police arrived he was in a
semiconscious condition but re
vived sufficiently to whisper his
name and telephone number.
Police had not notified anyone at
the Michel home of the accident 30
minutes after it had happened. First
news of Mr. Michel's injuries were
given to the family by newspaper
reporters.
The driver of the truck wa,s ar
rested and ordered to drive to the
nolice station. In leavinsr the scene
of the accident he backed into the
police patrol, crushing a fender.

of many instances of cure.
Back in 1888, Dr. McKean, young
and with vision, left Omaha and
sailed for Siam, an island inhabited
by a primitive people who died like
flies with any scourge that attacked
them.
Dead Cluttered Streets.
When he arrived he found a terri
ble epidemic of smallpox raging.
The dead lay by the score in the
streets of towns and cities and even
along country roads. Incantations
to their idols were the only means
being used by the population to
stop the ravages of the disease.
Dr. McKean immediately procur
ed cattle and made the smallpox vac
cination virus. Though the people
objected to it at first, they jBoon saw
its efficacy and many thousands
were vaccinated by virus from Dr.
McKean's laboratories.
Turns Then to Leprosy.
Having stayed 'the ravages of
smallpox, Mr. McKean set bravely
to work on the big fight against
leprosy which was dreadfully preval
ent on the island. There were no
hospitals or other facilities for com
bating the disease. Today there
are buildings worth $25,000 and an
annual budget of $5,000 for this work

in that one fact one finds something
of significance. The town oracle, a

Most of them work only a day or

Even men who take jobs tip the
farms don't work as they used to.
They put in seven or eight hours a
day and then quit; the farmer can't
get them to work longfr. They just
stop. And the farmer has to come
to town and take them to work in
his auto and bring them back in the
car and they insist on being paid

the farmer is stretching himself and
