Karris vs. George Given. Butler coun ty. Ju lgmeut affirmed. The dix-ision of the Court 111 the case of A. M. Monroe against Armstrong Ac Storey, delivered by Justice Trunkey last Friday, is of general interest to producers. The history of the case is that a man named Rup leased to Clark i Lilly certain oil territory iti liutler county for a period of 20 years. The work of drilling was to have commenced in 10 days after the sealing of the agreement, and was to have been contin ued with due diligence until the works were a siie«:e>-, or the was agreed further that if the lessees lulled to get oil or ceased to work for 30 days the lease was to be void. If they failed to get oil in one well, they had a right to bore as many wells as they liked, while they were not bound to bore any certain nirnber. They were not bound to drill holes for 20 years, but to use due diligence in their search for oil. It appears that after working unsuccessfully on the territory that they quit for a period of nine months, and oth ers "took possession of the property and struck ile. Clark <fc Lilly then demanded an interest in the production under their lease, but it was refused them, and they entered suit to recover in the lower court. Here they got a verdict and then the owners of the property appealed the case to the Supreme Court. Justice Trunkey held that in the rapid development of oil lands, taken with their rapid exhaustion, a cessation of work for nine months was a very long period. The prices of oil lands and leases fluc tuated so that speedy work was necessary to ward development. Tne decision of the lower court was reversed and a new trial awarded. In the case of Dickson vs. Campbell, Camp bell claimed that the signature to a note held by defendant \yas a forgery and proceedings were instituted to prevent recovery of the amount. The case was decided in the lower Court in favor of Campbell. The opinion, fchifh js a per curium, holds that the note was a forgery and that it would be a rank injustice to hold Campbell liable for a forged paper made without any fault of his.

An Unprecedented Failure! HOW IT OCCURRED. FACTS VERSUS FANCIES. Editors or newspaper men, as a rule, adver tise merchants and their business because they are paid for doiug it. Their brains and their printing press must earn for them their liveli hood. This will account for the fact that a great deal finds itself into the newspaper that is imaginary and not real, as in the past so in the future ; we propose to abide by realities and let others stretch their imagination as fa as they choose. It is tangible proof we furnish and not innumerable promises never fulfilled. We have just purchased from the Reliance Works, Edward P. Allis & Cc v of Milwaukee Wisconsin, another extensive set of Rolls to be placed iu our mill with all the necessary ma chinery, o:i its arrival, by the Richmond C':ty Mill Works. The immense rush we have ex perienced for the past few weeks from the far mers, and the lar;:e orders from our trade ne cessitates this addition to further increase our capacity. There will be no stoppage, whatever, occasioned in placing this new machinery. Thus have the grave fears and ill-iiiernt mis givings of the fearful and envious nev-.-r been realized; all have»coine to a happy f«i'ttre. Never before in the history of the milling bu siness in this section has one mill turned out the amount of work we have done in the past weeks. This is a fact that means something. Unexcelled flour an I large yields are induce ments that every intelligent farmer will tak>* advantage of. Good flour is what ever}bodv wants, and when it is sold at the low price of inferior goods, it is no wonder we are selling our product as fast as we make it. To farmers we would say, ask those who have been getting their grain ground with us how they are sat- isficd with the yield and how they are pleased with the flour; to the public, osk your neigh bor who deals at the Kiingler Flour Hou.-e what his wife says about the flour he bought so cheap. Stubborn facts are most convincing ever. As we advance our paying price to-day for wheat, we must quote our flour a trifle higher: Oriental flour per 5y0k.............. -51 40 Wheat bran per cwt 75 " shorts " " 100 " chop " " 100 Graham flour same as oriental. New pro cess buokwheat flour and oat meal, former pri ces. Farmers attention, we would again call to the fact that we make the market ou grain for this section, and on this account, if you appreciate the favor, you should sell your jjrain to us, even when other parties pay as much for grain as we do, we have paid the highest price first and often from three or four days to a week be fore all others, We make every change iu the market that occurs and just as soon as it oc curs, and everybody knows that other dealers in grain only change their prices alter they have heard what we are paying. There are farmers who have closely watched our course and are convinced that were we not keeping up the price of grain iu this section, they would be obliged to accept just what dealers would feel like paying. Gentlemen, sell your grain £o ns, for we always pay the highest price and we want everybody to know it. The following are our figures for No. 1 grain tor one week : Wheal per bushel £1 10 Rye " " 90 Shelled corn " 55 Oats " ' 40 Buckwheat " 65 11. JULIUS KLINGLER.
