Federal Court Trial.
TROUBLE AFTER JAIL BREAK
Dilworth.—Frank Hindman of Guth-
I rie, deputy United States marshal, was
in this vicinity serving subpoenas in
IMPASSIONED PLEA BY REV. PER-[ the only "black" slave case that has
RY PI ERCE UNABLE TO J thus far come before the federal
ALLAY MOB SPIRIT. I courts of Oklahoma. The defendant,
J Harry Lowry, will be heard in the
federal court at Enid, on a charge
of bringing two negro girls from Ar-
kansas City to Kay county for im-
moral purposes.
The sheriff of this county made
the first arrests in the case and is
now an important witness.
Harry Lowry, the defendant, is a
son of Julian Lowry, the only negro
landowner in Kay county. He home-
steaded a claim, now three miles
southeast of Dilworth, when the Cher
okee Strip was opened to settlement
in 1893. The presence of negroes in
this county has always been opposed,
but as Lowry was a homesteader on
government land, he was protected
by the federal authorities. In the
meantime, Julian Lowry has become
wealthy. He had refused to go on
his son's bond in this federal court
case.

GERMANY COULD BUILD SHIPS
So Far as Ways and Construction
Plants Are Concerned 25 Could
Be Under Erection.
According to an excellent naval crit-
ic, Hector C. Ii.vwater, so far as build-
ing ways and construction plants are
concerned, there is no reason why Ger-
many could not have 25 battleships oi
battle cruisers under construction al
one and the same time. Though he
admits that this figure may be aston-
ishing, he shows that an examination
of the various yards, government and
private, in Germany justifies the esti-
mate. In fact, he goes further and
states that, simultaneously, a program
Including light cruisers, destroyers and
submarines could be put through, since
there are many German yards which,
all hough they cannot build capital
ships, are well equipped to produce
the lighter craft. He estimates the
total working force in all these yards
at 1(10,000 men.
Nowata.—Pleas by the Rev. Perry
Pierce, Methodist minister, failed to
save the life of Mark Foreman, a ne-
gro, who, with "Sunny" Powell, an-
other negro, was lynched by a mob.
A few hours before the double lynch-
ing, the Rev. Pierce stood in his yard
and interceded for Foreman's life,
while Foreman, with a rope aryund
his neck, was standing beneath a tree
in the minister's yard, and surrounded
by a mob.
Respite Was Short.
The respite secured by the minister
was of short duration. The mob dis-
persed, but returned to the jail, se-
cured possession of Foreman and
Powell and hanged both near the jail
and within 150 feet of the minister's
parsonage.' One of the negroes had

Rev. Pierce, in whose yard the lynch-

with the mob to spare the negro's life,
and called attention to the fact that
the negro was about to die from the

"ROUGH on
The wounded Foreman was
out and placed on the sidewalk. The
mob members then returned and got
Powell. A rope was placed around his
neck and he was dragged from the
building.to a nearby lamp post. Pow-
ell's hands had not been tied, and after
vain pleas that his life be spared he
was swung from the ground. He
reached above his head grasped the
rope and undertook to climb the rope.
Someone in the mob fired a shot into
his body; he released his hold on
the rope and the hemp became taut.
The negro was then strangled to
death.

The mob members returned to the
wounded Foreman, placed a rope
around his neck and hanged him to a
lamp post in front of the jail. A half

down and taken to a local undertaker's
rooms where they are being held until

Trains Can't Go Too Fast.
An eastern railroad which includes
many steep grades along its lines has
adopted a new scheme to overcome the
danger from the momentum a heavily
loaded train sometimes gains in run-
ning down grade. A spur track has
been built at the foot of such n grade
and an automatic switch sends any
train that Is going too fast up this
branch. If the approaching train comes
along at a safe speed nothing will in-

tain distance above the switch, it is

HOW TO MAKE COFFEE
By the greatest coffee merchants in the world
IVS/t pictures of three wives and what their husbands saij of their cofjee
There has been a great deal written and said
about making coffee, and wherever you go,
each woman thinks her way is best. Yet we
all know how much coffee varies; good one
meal—bad the next—often so bad you simply
can't drink it.
Don t be discouraged if you are not getting
coffee as fine as you would like to have. Don't
be satisfied to drink coffee which is- "just me-
dium." A million other women make coflat
their husbands brag about, and it is so easy
for you to do it.
Instead of coffee which you only put up with
because you can't get the kind you would lika
to have, you can get coffee which every mem-
ber of your family will enjoy, coffee which
every visitor will praise, coffee which you your-
self couldn't do without.

How to make Boiled Coffer;

fee: Be sure that the pot is
clean. Have your coffee ground
medium five, just the size Ar-
buckles' Ground coffee ia. Al-
low one heaping tablespoonful
to each cup of water, with one
extra spoonful of coffee for the
pot. Put the coffee into the pot,
add cold water. Let boil until
it m just the Mrength you like
Settle with a dash of cold water.
The Drip Method, the aim-
pleat way: Have your coffee
ground very fine, almost to a
powder. Use only hulf a table-
spoon ful to a cup. * it h an extra
one for the pot. (This method
requires only half as much cof-
fee as used for other methods.)
Put the coffee in a piece of clean
cheesecloth; pour boil in a water
through it slowly — through
onre only. lie sure to have
water boiling. This does not
make as strong coffee as boil-
ing—if you want it stronger,
don't make it this way — in-
creasing the amount of coffee
won't make it any stronger.
Percolator coffee — the sur-
est method: Use a medium
fine ground coffee for percola-
tors, (just the size Arbuckles'
Ground coffee is). Allowatabie-
spoonfulto each cup of coffee
and one ex t ra; let the water per-
colate up through the coffee un-
til it ia just the right strength.
Making coffee this way. you can
have it just as mild or strong
as you like, and you can rely on
its being good every time.
