them to get their guns on election day
and march on the polls as they had
marched on San Juan hill. The grand-
father law was enforced to the letter,
however, notwithstanding this incen-
diary speech, and Opry was defeated
for sheriff by E. I-ong.
Ever since . t time Mr. Opry has
denounced Sheriff I^ong and Gene
Walker, who was his most active dep-
uty, and for the past two weeks he
has delivered public addresses attack-
ing Sheriff Long as an official, and
Saturday night he flashed alleged af-
fidavits attacking both Sheriff Long
nd Flowers as to their conduct in
seizing and disposing of whisky tak-
en from bootleggers. Opry became
more violent in his language and his

approached and Sunday's tragedy was
not entirely unanticipated.
Political Argument Precedes a Killing
Muskogee, Okla.—John Flannagan is
! dead, and Walter C. Johnson in Jail
| here, the result of a stabbing affray
; following a political argument. John-
| son, who Is a Socialist, engaged in a
dispute with Dan Flannagan, father
: of the dead man. Flannagan, it la
j said, told his two sons that Johnson
I had insulted him. John Flannagan up-
braided Johnson for arguing with the

count of the history of the crop. The

calls attention to the fact that Okla-
homa as yet has failed ro make any
provision for the care of tubercular
patients, either in the incipient or the
advanced stage. Despite this fact,
many communities in Oklahoma have
been forced to assume more or less
responsibility for the care of consump-
tives who have sought this climate,
yet who are in no condition to earn
their own livelihood. These invalids
are, as a class, made up of the most
advanced cases of tuberculosis, and
are usually lacking in necessary funds,
so that, through no fault of theirs
they soon become a public charge, and
are treated as paupers; and when
death relieves them of their suffer-
ings, they are accorded a pauper's bur-
ial.
While the experience of Oklahoma
In this regard is not as extensive as
that of Texas, reported by Governor
Colquitt, the situation is considered by
Commissioner Malir as one that should

Aid for Kendall College.
Tulsa, Okla.—Beginning Sunday, De-
cember 8, when from every Presbyter-
ian pulpit in Oklahoma the claims of
Henry Kendall college of this city will
ba presented, Oklahoma Presbyterians
will launch a campaign of one week in
which an effort will be made to raise
$100,000 for the institution. This fund
will apply on the proposed $500,000
which President Hawley of the college
has undertaken to raise within five
years for endowment and additional
buildings. Tulsa has agreed to sub-
scribe $100,000 of this amonut and has
raised $40,000. The formal installa-
tion of President Hawley will take
place after the first of the year.
Horse Thieves Grow Bold.
Bartlesville, Okla.—The early days
in Indian Territory when bands of
horsethieves terrorized this section are
being recalled by the large number of
horses that have been stolen lately in
this and adjoining counties. That many
of the horsethieves are members of
these once notorious bands is the opin-
ion of the officers. They are not only
clever but desperate. Recently City
Marshal Jim Murphy of Fairfax was
killed while attempting to arrest W.
C. Sliervington, who was wanted on a
charge of stealing a team of mule3
from a county commissioner of Osage j
county. Shervington was captured |
and is held on a murder charge. Word j
was reecived at the office of the sher- j
iff of Washington county the other j
day that half a dozen horses had been
stolen in the southern part of the
county in the past few days.

New Federal Building Opened.
Oklahoma City, Okla—The new fed-
eral building here, which recently was
completed at a cost of $500,000 was
opened the other night with an infor-
mal reception given by Postmaster
Eastman and his employes. The post-
office hand of twenty-five pieces fur-

The appeal for aid from the state
of Texas is worthy of tile most seri
oils consideration by the general pub-
lic," said Commissioner Mahr. "It
deals with one of the most serious of
our public health problems. The fact
that Texas has awakened to her pre-
dicament and is now trying to secure
co-operation from other states to re-
lieve her cities of this burden should
| convince all Oklahomans of the ne-
J cessity for an institution in this state
j where proper aid and care could be
extended to those who are now a cost-
j ly charge on the seevral counties."

RULING COVERS FEE ACT.
Commissioners Not Entitled to Pay
as Overseers of Poor.
In connection with the case of N. A.
Ticer vs. The State of Oklahoma, ex
rel C. i\ Holt, county attorney, ap-
pealed from Pottawatomie county, the
supreme court in an opinion by Jus-
tice Williams, interpreting a portion
of the fee and salary act of Oklahoma
Territory, held that the county com-
missioners, after the close of the ses-
sion of 1901 of the territorial legisla-
ture, were not entitled to $1.50 per I
day as overseers of the poor.
The same opinion, however, held
that a claim for $5, put in by a mem !
her oi* the board representing an ;
amount expended by him for paying a j
chain bearer, was properly allowed by
tho board of county commissioners in- {
asmuch as the commissioner in ques- i
tion was acting as superintendent of j
road construction by authority of law. j
The application of Carl Deichman I
from Wagoner county for release from i
custody on a writ of habeas corpus j
was granted in an opinion by Justice (
Williams. The district court of Wag- |
oner county ordered Deichman iim-
prisoned for contempt because of fail-
ure to obey an order of the court re-
quiring him to obtain a deed of a '
third person, not a party to the suit j
and to deliver it to the plaintiff in the
action then pending.
Alleged Coal Trust Hit.
The corporation commission will
ask the supreme court of the state,
when it adjusts the commodity freight
rates, to adopt a ruling which is in-
tended to put the so-called coal trust
of the state out of business. Commis-
sioner Henshaw stated a large number
of the coal mines of the state dispose
of their products through a common
sales agency. This agency fixes the
price of coal to the retailers, receives
orders sent to the individual mines In
the alleged combination and distrib-
utes the business as nearly as possible
among the various mines. To strike
a death blow to this alleged combina-
tion Commissioner Henshaw will ask
the state supreme court to make an
order that any commodity sold
through a combination shall carry a
freight rate 25 per cent higher than
one sold through independent sources.
The court will be asked to specify
that coal sold through a common sales
agency shall take the 25 per cent high-
er rate. This, it is belieevd, will give
the indeepndent mine operator a big:
advantage and break up the supposed
combination.
Holds Cruce to Blame.
The ( barge that (Jovernor Cruce has
brought about the present shakeup In
the state board of education in order
to disturb harmonious conditions ex-
isting in the state institutions,, is
made by State Superintendent It. II.
Wilson in a letter directed to the
heads of all the state institutions ask-
ing them to recognize the old board.
Superintendent Wilson calls attention
to the speech of (Jovernor Cruce at
Nowata in which the executive was
quoted as saying that the state insti-
tutions formed a combination in the
last legislature to secure large appro-
priations.

POOR JOHN NEATLY CAUGHT
Cleverly Contrived Trap That Led to
the Downfall of One Forget-
ful Husband.
He had returned home In the eve-
ning tired and ready for a restful hour
or two.
"John, my love," said his little wife
sweetly, "did you post that letter I
gave you this morning?"
"Yes, my pet," suid John, hiding hi«
conscience-stricken faco behind the
newspaper.
"Well, what is your answer?" still
more sweetly.
"Wh—what is what ?" gasped John.
"What is your answer, dear?" said
his little wife, clearly. "That letter
was addressed to you."
"Addressed to me?" exclaimed John.
"I didn't notice it."
And then, like a foolish man, he
fell into th trap and produced the
letter from his pocket to see. The
envelope was not addressed to him;
but a long and severe lecture was
shortly after.
Newspapers and Literature.
All this over emphasis of the un-
meaning surface is due to a confusion
of newspaper and literary standards,
end*, aims. The word literary has coma
to suggest an absence of red blood;
spinners and knitters in the sun; the
85 cent maga/.ine crowd; this is non-
sensical, of course. In its elemental
meaning literature is at least as stern
a jab as journalism, albeit the inten-
tion and function of tlie latter is mere-
ly to present things that happen, of
the former to volatilize such material
into hovering and potent meanings, to
strike the rock and raise a spirit that
is life.
Enterprising.
In a section of Washington, says
Harper's Magazine, where there are
a number of restaurants, one enter-
prising concern has displayed In great
illuminating letters, "Open all Night."
Next to it was a restaurant bearing
with equal prominence the legend:

dry, in a little, low-framed, tumble-
down hovel, and upon the front of this
building was tho sign in great

Claim Guarantee Money.
Guthrie. Okla.—The various cities
that comprised the Oklahoma State
Ball League this year have filed
claims with the national commission
for $500 each against the Oklahoma
City territory, alleging that all the
money in the state league treasury,
to go through the season, was used
to pay the salaries and expenses of
the Oklahoma City team Because that
city refused to support a team In a
league with the smaller towns of the
state. The other cities include Musko-
gee, Tulsa, Holdenville, McAlester, Ok-
mulgee, Enid and Guthrie.

Ardmore, Okla.—Saying he had shot
and killed his step-father, Ed Bealer,
for threatening Mrs. Woods, G. L.
Woods surrendered to the sheriff of
Carter county. Woods used a shotgun,
and according to his statement, the en-
tire load took effect in the eyes of
Bealer. The shooting occurred at
Newport, Carter county, about thirty
miles northwest of Ardmore. Both men
are farmers.
