loss of her greatly beloved husband.
Since this sorrow she had made her

was universally a favorite, because of
j her aweet disposition and louable char-
acter. All the friends who knew her
well, likewise felt the iafluence of this
same bright natare, made the better
and stronger bacauae of her Christian

Jenkins, secretary of the territory, is
slated for the governorship.
Until last Saturday Governor Barnes’
appointment seemed emminent and
with the strong Ohio backing over-
came all objections. Secretary Hitch-
cock is opposed to the appointment of
Barnes and last Saturday was sum-
moned to the White House. The presi-
dent asked him for his reasons for op-
posing the present governor, and he
replied frankly that he had given his
word to senate members who were
seeking to compel him tocomply with
a senate resolution making public cer-
tain correspondence in his office re-
lating to Governor Barnes, that if this
resolution was not further pressed,
Barnes would be renppointed. The
nature of the papers referred to wus
discussed in detail.
After due consideration the presi-
dent satislied himself that for the best
interests of the republicans of Oklaho-
ma a successor should he appointed
to take Barnc’s place.
McNeal and Jenkins were consider-
ed and the president was favorable to
Jenkins although Hitchcock had no
choice of the two.

and sympathy. Other friends also
brought their gifts, of Howers, of song,

hearts, comforting the mourning ones
with the knowledge that they arts not
alone in their grief.
Death Of Mrs- Price-
Last Saturday at the home of her
sister. Mr., Good. ofRtplej, occurred
the death of Mrs. Effie Price, of
Chanute, Kansas. Mrs. Prico was
known to many of our townspeople as
the sister of Mrs. 8. H. Caldwell and
Mrs. W. A. Gorton—the latter being
with her sister at her death. The body
of Mrs. Price was brought to the home
of Mr. Gorton, where the funeral was
held Monday afternoon, conducted by
the Rev. V. Williams, assisted by the
Rev. L. Williams. Interment was in
the Stillwater cemetery.
The death of Mrs. Price falls with
special force upon her relatives for it
is the first death which has occurred
to break the famiiy circle. Her father,
mother and five adult sisters all sur-
vive her. Her father and mother, Mr.
and Mrs. Lnse, live with their daugh-
ter, Mrs. Gorton and another daughter,
Mrs. Caldwell, who also resides in
town. A third sister, above referred
to, lives in Ripley. Another, Mrs.
Parker, lives in Chanute, Kans.; while
a fifth, Mrs. Trent, has her home in
Winfield. All of these except Mrs.
Trent, were present nt the funeral, her
family being represented by their
daughter Ednu.
Mrs. Price was horn in Jeffcson Co.,
Iowa, April 1, 1874, and twenty years
later, almost on the same date, Raster,
1804, occurred her birth into the king-
dom of God. And now again, so near-1
Death Of R. B. Foster.
The many friends of Rev. R. F>. Fos-
ter in Payne county will be pained to
learn of his death the latter part of
last week at Okarche which has been
his home for several years.
Dr. Foster wss all his life a frontiers^
man, settling in western Kansas in an
early day. He came to Stillwater
with the opening of Oklahoma ir. 1889
an organized,the Congregational church
here, which was one of the first
churches organized in the territory.
He whs pastor here for several years
and was the first superintendent of
schools of Payne county. He went
from this city to Perkins nnd from
there to Okarche
For the past three years he has been
suffering from an allliction of the
heart and his death was no surprise.
He was about 75 years old and was the
father of a largte family, who with his
a^ed wife are left behind. He was a
grand good man and the world is the
better for his having parsed through
it.

TALMAGE IS FOR REVISION.
Doesn’t Believe in Fore-ordination
and Infant Damnation.
Rev. T. DeWitt Talmange gave a
lecture in Knoxville, Term., Monday,
and when asked his opinion ns to the
proposed revision of the Presbyterian
creed, lie said:
“My own firm belief is that the work
will not he done by a committee.
When the time is ripe, some one of
our great men a man of heart and
brain—will step forward and read the
simple article of what w»> now believe.
When it comes it will lire the hearts
of men like a flame and it will be
adopted instantly. 1 lmrdly think
things will be ripe enough for this at
Senator Freeman E Miller, of Still-
water. assisted by the 1«w Arm of Dale
A Bierer, argued before Judge Bu-ford,
his application for a writ ot peremtoirv
mandamus, to cause Acting Governor
\V. M. Jenkins, t<> publish and certify
as a law the council bill appropriating
for the A. and M. college, of Stillwater,
$42,000. which bill had been vetoed by
Governor Barnes.
Senator Miller in his petition for the
writ, claims that the mensure was in
the governor’s hands longer than live
days and thus became a law without
his signature. This claim is based on
the fact that on a motion of Senator J.
C. Foster the bill was recalled by the
council from tbe governor.■ hands,
that the time the message was in the
council after the recall was by right
part and parcel of the live days time
allowed the governor, that all court
opinions hold that any such action
taken by either bouse of an assembly
must not defeat the will of both houses
and that therefore the measure is by
right a law, true and valid. Between
the passage of tbe measure and the
data of the veto by the governor
about eight days elapsed. The gov-
ernor disregarded the time the bill wss
in the council after recall and took ac-
tion upon it at the termination of his
live days additional allotirg time.
Judge Burford ordered the issuance
of the writ after the presentation of the
case by Mr. Miller. In giving his
opinion he said the fact that the coun-
cil had requested the return of the bill
after it had been transmitted to the
governor, was not obligatory on him
to return it, that upon a request to do
so it would merely be an net of court-
esy on liis part, the council having no
longer any power over the bill, and it
must be considered in his hands during
that time irrespective of its location.
As a consequence, the bill was in his
hands longer than the required five
days tor it to become a law% and when
he vetoed it he then no longer had any
power over it as governor, for the law
plainly says that after five days there
is no action on the part of the gov-
ernor on a bill in his hands to sign or
'to veto a measure, it shall become a
law. The writ of peremptory manda-
mus merely compels the actiug govern-
or, Secretary Jenkins, to transmit a
certified copy to the president of the
council, to the speaker of tbe house
and to i he secretary of the interior,
and to have the act published in the
the compilation of the session laws of
this assembly, in which it originated.
This opinion does not affect the legal-
ity of the act. It can be tested by the
territorial treasurer or the auditor the
same as any other act or law.
THE CITIZENS
TICKET ELECTED,
Washington, April l.—The memo-
randum which Senor Silva, the Co-
lombian minister, filed with the State
department this week in regard to the
terms upon which his government will
permit the United States to construct
the Panama canal is extremely im-
portant. Colombia proposes to give
the United States absolute control
over any canal thnt may be builtJncro*s
the iathrnus of Panama, with an un-
limited lease of the necessary ajaeent
territory. Everything to provide for
American control, short of actual
sovereignty over Colombian territory,
is promised.
The memorandum means practically
that unless the Panama company dis-
poses of its interests to the United
States by private arrangement, it will
be entirely ignored by the controlling
parties and lose its concessionary
rights. Should the propositions con-
tained in the amendment be accepted,
tbe Panama company’s rights on the
isthmus would cease to exist. The
company's original concession called
for the completion of the canal in Oct-
ober, 190-1, but this was recently ex-
tended to 1910. Tbe Colombian courts
will soon render a decision on a ques-
tion raised ns to the right of the gov-
ernment to grant, the extension.

Notes-
For t lie benefit of those who are ill
the poultry business a few notes are
given as follows :
Don’t put over ten or elven eggs un-
der the setting hen during the eai4y
spring months. Small hens cannot
cover any more, and the large hens
will break them.
Make the nest for settinghensrather
fiat, so that the eggs will not roll to-
ward tiie center.
Don’t put kerosene on the roosts
during the hatching season. All kinds
of oil will prevent eggs from hatching.
Rolled outs or crushed oats make the
best nnd cheapest food sor chicks un-
til four weeks old. After that a vari-
ety should be given.
Don’t let eggs that are intended for
hatching become chilled. A tempera-
ture of 30 degrees will destroy the life
germ.
Eggs should not be set that are over
two weeks old, although they will often
hatch after a month old.
Little chicks should be given ground
bone nnd green food in limited amounts,
after they are a week old.
Don’t fail to give the ehieke fine grit
even the day they are hatched. You
must supply what nature has over-
looked.
