Naming the Spanish baby the prince
of the Astuiias is Just a temporary ar
rangement until the geographers and
the philologists can get together and
with the aid of relays of stenograph-
ers. fix up a permanent name for the
helpless infant. The real and official
name of a Spanish king is like a Chi-
nese play. You read part of It to-day
and come back to-morrow and the day
after to get the rest. It embraces
everything that the historians can
think of and a few more smooth-
pounding words thrown in for good
measure. One would judge from read-
ing the official title of King Alfonso
XIII., lor Instance, that he was the su-
preme ruler of the earth, the air. the

$900 to $2,000 a Month. — An In-
dian for easy money. There is a
family of Berryhills. of which Thom-
as Berryhill is the head, living in the
Creek nation who draw from $900 to
$-.000 each per month in royalties
from oil wells which have been drill-
ed on their allotments. There are
six members of the family. The one
that gets the smallest amount of roy-
alty draws $900 monthly at the In-
dian agency while another more
lucky draws $2,000. This famil1 are
Creeks. They selected their allot
ments before It was ever dreamed
there was oil in the Glenn pool.
When oil was found there they made
fa\ orable leases. Now the money
comes easy. In addition to this they
received large cash bonuses for
leases on their land. This money
was paid over before any wells were
drilled.
Mysterious Letter Found in Bottle.
f jr. steelier, of Muskogee, found
floating In the Arkansas river six
mill s south of Hyde Park, a beer bot-
tle In which was a letter purporting
to be a suicide race between two
girls who bad merely signed their
christian names, saying that they
had committed suicide by drowning
in the river. The letter was taken to
the t'nited States marshal and the
matter will be looked Into. The let-
ter consists of two pages written on
the letter heads of the Palace Hotel
at Haskell. I. T.. and is dated May 13.
In it the girls sa' that they have
been disappointed in love, that they
have no near relatives and that they
have decided to die. The letter Is
signed "DolHe and Lenora." The
officers do not know whether it is a j trial, i-v.
hoax or not.

New Trial For Wright. — 15 A.
Wright, convicted by a Kiowa coun-

the action of the supreme court in re
versing the lower court and remand-
ing the case for a new trial. Wright
was convicted of killing William
Slattery on an Indian reservation in
Kiowa county, taking Slattery's team
and wagon and h:\ing the bod on
the prairie under a pile of rocks. He
was prosecuted by the federal au-
thorities and is now confined in the

Tulsa Men Arrested. — The 1'nited
Slates government has filed three
suits against fifteen p.tmiinent citi-
zens of Tulsa, alleging fraud in con-
nection with the purchase of town
lots according to the Creek agree-
ment of 1901. The government al-
leges that "dummies" were used by
the defendants to obtain holdings of
town property contrary to the spirit
of the Creek agreement. The suit
involves the title to property in the
business district to the value of one
million dollars. Ex-Mayor John O.
Mitchell is one of the defendants.
Similar suits are to be brought M

law has already accomplished wide-
spread reforms, with proporticnare
benefits to policyholders, and that it
should be given a thorough trial be-
fore any amendments were seriously
considered. It Is estimated that the
cost of the mismanagement cf the past
did not average more than 20 cents to
each policyholder, while the benefits
to present and future policyholders
will amount to marv times more and
be cumulative besides. The speed
craze of the big companies and the ex-
cessive cost of securing new business
was the most extravagant evil of the
old managements. Under the new
regime the cost of new business has
already been greatly reduced, along
with other economies.
The showing made by «he Equitable
Life Assurance Society in its report
for 1906 was a strong argument
against meddling with the new law.
In the Equitable alone there was a
saving of over $2,000,000 in expenses,
besides an increase in the income
from the Society's assets amounting
to as much more. The ratios of the
Equitable's total expenses to its total
Income was 19.421J>. in 1901, 17H8r. in
1905. and only 14.48'c in 1906. The
dividends paid to Equitable policy-
holders in 1906 amounted to $T.2fc9.734,
which was an increase of more than
9^ over 1905.
While the Equitable made a better
showing than any other big company,
all reported radical economies and un-
der such conditions the Legislature
wisely decided to leave the law sub-
stantially as it stands.
GOOD IDEA FOR MATCHES.
Double Enders Popular Among Smek
ers in Mexico-
Mexico may be behind its in some
things, but she has us lashed to the
wheel when it comes to making
matches," said a man just in from the
land of the Montezumas as he handed
out a wax lucifer with a head on each
end.
I saw nothing but double ended
matches while I was away, and I
tell you that they save one's record
with the Recording Angel If you dig
down in your pocket anil find one
match the chances are hat you are
sure of a light, becans* II one end
„oes out the other is left. These old
time matchcs. just revived, thai : p.-it
ter brilliant sparks may be all right
when it conies to phasing the baby
but the fellow who puts on the mar
ket a double ended matc-li wiil find
a ready demand."
Text Somewhat Apropos.
The Rev. J. B Hanimill. the elo-
quent preacher of the Hanson I'.ace
Methodist Episcopal church. Ii.coklyn
was preaching at Sayvllle, L. 1 . from
the text ' Look well to your fcunda
Hons." After repeating the tej.t he
leaned heavily on the pulpit desk,
which gave way and plunged over, the
altar rail, nearly hitting the laym< ii .n
the front seat and scattering the Bible
and the preacher's notes among the
holders of the,pews. The aged p each-
er barely escaped a tumble over the
altar with the heavy desk.
WENT TO TEA
And It Wound Her Bobbin.
Tea drinking frequently affects peo-
ple as badly as coffee. A lady in Salis-
bury, Mil., says that she was com-
pelled to abandon the use of coffee a
good many years ago, because it
threatened to ruin her health ar.d that
'she went over to tea drinking, but
finally, she had dyspepsia so bad that
she had lost twenty five pounds and
no fond seemed to agree with her.
She further sa>s: "As this time I
was Induced to take up the famous
food drink, Postum, and was so much
pleased with the results that I have
never been without it since. I com-
menced to improve at once,.regained

shooting.
Mr. Foraker says
"The testimony given bv the sol-
diers In their own behalf is not, in
my opinion, shaken by the testimony
given by the citizens of Brownsville.
No important item of new evidence
has been brought forward against
the soldiers in this examination.
" Ninety per cent of what the citi-
zens have testified about had rela-
tion ro matters over which there was
no controversy. For instance, every-
body concedes that the town was
shot up; that somebody did it: that
tho«e people who did it pissed
through the streets and alleys where
he shooting was done, and that they
had guns or revolvers or fire-arms
of some sort, and that ore man w-as
killed and another wounded. The
only dispute Is as to whether the
raiders were identified as soldiers of
the garrisons.
There are two kinds of evidence
relied upon to show the soldiers did
it. One consists of shells and bul-
leth that were secured from the
streets and bouses of Brownsville.
The results of microscopic inspec-
tion. interpreted in the light of the
other testimony in the case, com-
pletely disposed of this part of the
case. The only other testimon' is
that of people who claim to have
been eye-witnesses to the shooting.
This consists of varions people de-
claring that when they heard the fir-
ing. they looked out of their windows
and houses and down dark alleys,
where there were no lights, at dis-
tances varying all the way from 50
feet up to 150 feet, and recognized
the men who were doing the firing as
negroes wearing the uniforms of
1'nited States soldiers.
The officers of the bata'.lion have
testified generally and specifically a*
to the darkness of the night. Ac
cording to this testimony, in the lan-
guage of Major Penrose, the nitl I
was so dark that he could not dia
tinguish one of his officers, who
were all white men. from one of the
enlisted men. who were all colored
at a distance of ten feet, nor could he
at that distance tell anything about
how a man was dressed.
" All these officers have testified
that the claims of the citizens who
testified that they saw the raiders
and recognized them as soldiers at
the distances and under the circum
stances stated by them are utterly
impossible. At one time, when testi-
mony was only partially investigated,
they were of t'.ie opinion and frankly
stated, th.:' their men were guilty
but that fact only strengthens their
testimony as they now give it. that
the testimony of 'he citizens by
which they claim to identify their sol-
diers is utterly unreliable, untrust-
worthy and by them unbeievable.
