The Nan Patterson Vredict
At first sight the verdict in the Nan
Patterson case appears like a failure
of justice.
The law, we think, ought to have
been able to determine whether this
woman was guilty or innocent of the
crime with which she was charged.
If guilty of murder, she ought to
have been punished as a murderess;
it innocent, she ought to have been
set free and liberated from the dread-
ful charge that hung over her.
But neither of these definite re-
sults was reached. The jury was un-
able to agree, and if the agents of
justice, hopeless of securing a con-
viction, now open the prison doors for
her release, she will go forth forever
under the shadow of the accusation
that could not be proved.
And yet possibly this uncertainly,
this balance between conviction and
acquittal may come nearer absolute
justice than any result of "guilty" or
"not guilty" declared by the jury up-
on the weight of evidence.
Few of those that listened to the
testimony in the trial without pre-
judice on one side or the other could
believe that Nan Patterson was
guilty of willful and deliberate mur-
der, and if she was not guilty of that
degree of crime, then into the mane
of guilt what eye of justice can pene-
trate?
When moral standards are turned
topsy turvey, when virtue and inno-
jcence lose their meanings, when the
very basis of existence is an open
shame, with what balance can we
weigh or with what measure can we
reckon the guilt or the justification
of the mutual acts of such parues'r1

comparison with the lingering tor-

Innocent? No. Guilty? Who

Forgetfulness? Distraction? Death?
Anything but happiness.

himself once more in touch with the

human woe.

Man Named Miller and his Three Sons
Captured.
Stroud, Okla., May 8.—j* man by
the name of Miller and his three sons
were captured last night by members
of the Anti-IIorse Thief association
for alleged burglary. They are said
to have blown open the safe of the
Dank of Kendrlx Friday night, se-
curing WOO in silver. The men were
tracked from the bank to the buggy,
which was tied down in the brush, and
the buggy tracks were followed to
the Miller home three miles north of
Warwick twenty-five miles west of
here. The wheels of the vehicle
still had soft mud on them, but the
Millers say tuey had 'not taken the
buggy out of the barn for two weeks.
•The prisoners have been kept separ.
ate and each one tell a different
story. _________
Fxiqhtful Suffering Relieved,
Suffering frightfully from the viru-
lent poisons of undigested food, C. G.
Grayson, of Lula, Miss., took Dr.
King's New Life Pills, "with the re-
sult," he writes, "that I was cured."
All stomach and bowel disorders give
way to their tonic, laxative proper-

STREET PAVING KICKS.
The property owners who signed
the petition for paving East Broad-
way did not understand that the side
walk was to be widened to 20 feet
necessitating new gutter and curbing,
at least the great majority did not,
and they are now very much opposed
to said paving, curbing and gutter-
ing.
It is quite probable that the street
Having contract was let illegally and
irregularly, hence, the whole matter
had better be reconsidered.
Broadway is 110 feet wide, the 20
foot sidewalk would cut the street
room down to 70 feet which is entirely
too narrow for a street railway track
and hitching purposes; besides the 20
foot wide side walk is not needed;
sixteen feet, as it is now, is plenty
wide enough. It now looks as if the
East Broadway street paving enter-
prise will have to be nuc-pro-tunced

For A Church Hospital.
Guthrie, Okla., May 8—A meeting
of the committee appointed by the
last Oklahoma Methodist conference
to look into the matter of establish-
ing a church hospital was held in
Dr. Blesh's office Saturday eve. The
committee is composed of Rev. M.
Porter, oj Lawton; Rev. G. W. Mar-
tin, of Enid; Rev. W. H. Rose, of
Guthrie, and Rev. E. B. Rankin of
Oklahoma City.
It is likely that a proposition will
be made by this committee to the
Guthrie Commercial Club to locate
the proposed institution here. The
committee will agree to run a chari-
table institution if the club will buy
the hospital property on the West
Side. They claim that a charitable
institution of this sort would mean
much to Guthrie
Seveial members of the church
committee expressed themselves as
being highly in favor of establish-
ing the hospital here.
A meeting of the citi/.ens Is called
to meet at the court house tonight to
discuss the new court house propor-
tion. Ev|ry tax payer should attend
this meeting.
A beautiful new front is being put

Dr. Baker left Saturday evening
for St. Joe, Mo,, in answer to a tele-
gram announcing the serious illness
of his br.ther in a hospital in that
city.

. MUST DESTOY CIGAR BOXES
Show Window Cigar Displays Are
Restricted.
The order of the internal revenue
department restricting window dis-
play In cigar stores and drug stores,
which went into effect May I was
pretty closely followed by dealers.
The new order Jemauds that not
only the government revenue stamp
and the canton notice bp scratched
from a cigar boxl before it given
away or used for display, but ordets
that the brand mark, including the
factory and federal district number
be removed before the box Is given
away or displayed. This practically
means the box mast be diatfoytd, as
it is more trouble than it is wnrth to
remove all the marks.
A cigar dealer remarked last night
hat hereafter ,he would use all
empty cigar bo.^csfor kindling.
The kind of pasteboard dummies
which may be used in a window din-
play h also pers^ribed in the order.
The dummies which have been in use
for many years :ontalna blue baud
and numbers to imitate the govern
ment stamp and factory numbers.
j.woweeksago a revenue officer
called in Topeka and ordered the
destruction of all dummies of this
description. The new dummy tones
have no blue printing of any eort and
no numbers on them.
The order of the revenue depart-
ment condemning the use of one
class of dummies and ordering the
rnutilatiation of a'l empty boves
means considerable ex pe use to some
one. Iiund reds of thousands cf dum"
rales bearing the blue band and the
numbers are made useless.
The st-ict or.lers are made to dis"
courage ihe unlawful refilling of the
boxes.

Dainty Footwear
is what every wotnai. requires who
aims to.dress well, and while dainti-
ness describes a pretty, perfectly fit-

themselves by compressing their feet
into a shoe too small for cow+'"rt.
The object is to get a shoe that fits so
perfectly, and of so dainty and stylish
a shape that its elegance. Is absolute-
ly distinctive. This is a combination
seldom met with, but it can be had in
