By a Decisive Vote This Law
Met Its "Waterloo" on
Last Tuesday
. When state question No. 47
-in which was asked the repeal o'f
Sec. 18 of the state mining code
probably will receive the largest
majority when co'mplete returns
have been received there is
nothing to indicate that the vote
on that question wili be larger
than on the others and all of
them yet are leading by suffi-
cient majorities to indicate that
none will lose unless a large ad-
verse vote comes from the coun-
ties which have not reported on
the special election held Tues-
day. In the returns received up to
Wednesday night from forty-five
of the seventy-five counties only
a few of the incomplete the "si-
lent" vote totals less than 2000.
The returns from these coun-
ties show that the majority on
state question No. 46 to amend
article ix. section 9 the railroad
clause will be more than two to
one. The vote as shown is 24-
430 in favor of the Adoption of
the puestion and 11957 against.
It is now believed that the final
returns will show a majority in
excess of 20000 in favor of its
adoption.
From the returns received it
is indicated that the largest fa-
vorable vote will be cast on the
question relating to the mining
Jaws. The returns now show

25977 votes in favor of the re-
peal of section 18 and 7938 as
against it. Most of the counties
in the mining district are" inclu-
ded in these returns which in-
dicates that this ratio will not be
increased in the final returns.
Out of 4S precincts of the 64
in Pittaburg county State Ques-
tion No. 46. article ix section 9
the vote was Yes 1555; no
967.
Question No. 47 the mining
law -Yes 1950; no 603. n
The vote in Krebs although
light was a clean sweep for the
repeal of te mining law every
precinct in the city giving it a
good majority.

On last Friday the McAlester
News-Capital underwent a com-
plete change politically -from a
republican to a democratic dai-
ly. J. Roy Williams for many
years publisher of the Lawton
Constitution and a thorough
i newspaper man and a writer of
ability is the new proprietor and
will have the editorial manage-
ment of the paper which we are
informed will be democratic
to the core at the same time
dealing fair and courteously to
the opposition.
To the out-going editor and
the man that built this paper
and caused it to take rank among
the leading dailies of tne south-
west Henry P. Robbins whom
everybody likes there is heard
on all sides from both democrats
and republicans words of praise
for the splendid paper he has
given McAlester and Pittsburg
county.
It is now up to the democracy
of the county to get in behind
the new management and boost.
Mrs. Jno. Powell Dead.
While enroute home from Col-
orado where she went with her
husband a few month ago in the
hopes of recuperating her health
Mrs. John Powell of this city
died at Elk City Okla. Wednes-
day of droysy. The trip to the
mountains failed to benefit her
and realizing her condition re-
quested that she be brought back
home to die.
The remains arrived here last
night and she was laid to rest to-
day in the McAlester cemetery.
The sorrowing ones have the
sympathy of the entire city in
this the saddest of all earthly
trouble.

istered at the last regular shoot:

Commits Suicide.
The sad news was flashed over
the wires from Oklahoma City
last Saturday afternoon that El-
more eldest son of Gus A. Gill
of McAlester had committed sui-
cide at his home in that city by
shooting himself in the head
with a 38 calibre revolver. No
cause was attached to the rash
act unless it was ill health and a
case of desponcy.
Deceased was an exemplary
young man having been reared
in McAlester and his friends
were nubered by the score.
Besides his father mother
;hree brothers and a sister he
leaves a wife and two children.
The remains were followed to
their last resting place in McAl-
ester by a large conqpurse of sor-
rowing friends.
This paper extends sympathy.

The Oklahoma National Guard
is now in camp at Chandler for
their yearly school .of instruc-
tion. There will be found with
the National Guard a represen-
tative from the..MedicaL Depart-
ment of the U. -S. Army who
was detailed for the purpose of
instructing the militia in hy-
tfiene. Experience has taught
all governments that disease is
much more expensive and causes
a mU(;n greater fatality than the
' enemies bullets in the time of
war consequently at this time
every effort is made to teach
sanitation and hygiene and the
hospital corps in sanitation is the
most important in the organiza-
tion. While these militiamen
will be taught during this meet-
ing how to be soldiers they will
at the same time be taught the
importance of camp sanitation
and how to keep well. Those
who can should avail themselves
of this opportunity to visit the
camp and see and learn how
1000 men can occupy a camp
for weeks without any ..accumu-
lation of garbage foul odors and
with but little sickness and few
flies even though screens are
not used.
It would pay a city officer in
Sach town in Oklahoma to visit
