•hoots Self to Escape Punishment

aged fourteen, shot himself in the ab-
domen Saturday with a target rifle
rather than submit to punishment
from his school teacher, and will die.
He la an orphan boy and lived with
his grandparents. Mr. and Mis. W. S.
Baker, prominent citizens.
Cameron to Address Teachers' Asa'n
Guthrie, Okla.—State Superinten-
dent E. D. Cameron has been Invited
to address the Initial meeting of the
Northeastern Oklahoma Teachers As-
sociation, to be held at Vinita on
March 25. This will be the first at-
tempt at a district organization In
that part of the state. The associa-
tion will Include Adair, Cherokee,
Craig, Creeik. Delaware, Haskell,
Mayes, Muskogee,-Nowata,* Okfuskee,
Okmulgee, Osage. Ottawa, Pawnee,
Rogers, Sequoyah, Tulsa, Wagoner
and Washington counties.
AII Indications Point to a Close of tho
Present Session
Guthrie, Okla.—There Is now every
prospect of an adjournment of the
special session of the legislature this
week.
The house Monday morning adopt-
ed another resolution fixing the time
of adjournment This time the rests
lutlon provides that the session shall
end Wednesday at noon. The senate
laid the resolution over for a day*.
If the Smith bill for the biennial as*
sessment of real estate and the fee
and salary bill can ha disposed of
promptly, there Is little to prevent •
prompt adjournment.
The Smith bill Is In one sense a
revenue measure, and auch can not be
passed under Lha constitution during
the flva last days of the season. It
contains a section for the taxation of
leases, but it la believed this and the
other sections can be so worded as to
eliminate the revenue feature.
The house spent Monlay morning
an the Morris bill from the senate, fix-
ing tha salaries of employes In the
school land office. Among the few
amendments made were one provid-
ing for a 9500,000 bond for the secre-
tary of the department, and another
for bond for all employes who handle
money. The state is to defray the ex-
pense of securing these bonds.
Ross tried to secure an amendment
to take care of the salaries of the
leasing as well as the loan and sales
departments, but was unsuccessful.
All efforts to cut salaries proved fruit-
less.
In the senate Monday morning the
Bryan election bill was under consid-
eration. Amendments were adopted
cutting out the Socialists from repre-
sentation on the precinct election
boards, and cutting out the old provi-
sion for watchers. The latter was In-
serted on the theory that watchers
are not sworn election officials and
might give out information. It la
probable the bill will be finally passed
Monday afternoon.
The senate passed tha Strain bill
for the selection of temporary county
Judges where the regular judge is 111
or absent, and the Durant-Ewell bill
transferring $7,500 from the 1910 to
the 1911 appropriation for the Durant
state normal.
Intarurban Contract Let
Sapulpa, Okla.,—Steel has been
purchased, the overhead contracts
have been let and the line of the Ok-
lahoma Traction company will be
completed from the west bank of tho
Arkansas river to Sapulpa by July

made Thursday. An Interurban bridge
will be built over the river here. The
traction company will build the line

and Is now building ten miles of
track in this city.
Work On New Station
Chickasha, Okla.,—Work has begun
here on a $75,000 passenger station
for the Rock Island to replace tne
unsightly and long ago too small
station that was built here years ago.

to a site near the round house, where
it will be used as the master mech-
anic's office, and the old passenger
station will be rolled^ north to serve
as a freight depot. The Rock Island
Is spending $6,000 here in increasing
its water supply.
Big Land Deal for Texas County
Guymon, Okla.—What was probably
the largest real estate deal ever con-
summated in Texas county was that
by Ennis & Dale, one of the best real
estate firms In the southwest, when
the Stonebraker Zea Cattle company
disposed of 4.000 acres of its posses-
sions to K. F. Shellanbeiger, a steel
king of DeKalb, Illinois.
Mr. Shellanberger is reputed to bs
a multi-millionaire and will spend
considerable money In Improving
these farms and In experimenting in
irrigation. He informed those with
whom he was doing business that he
had spent $1,000 In looking over pros-
pective laud purchases in the United 1
States ami that this deal looked the
best to him of anything he had seen.
Mr. Shellanberger Is now with a
big steel concern In Illinois, but will
return to take rharge of his land and
superintend work thereon In June.
He will probably rpend several hun-
dred thousand dollars In putting
down wells and In the erection of
reservoirs for the purpose of Irrigat-
ing upon a board scale.
Resolution Approved
Guthrie, Okla.—Governor Haskell
Monday signed the resolution by Ter-
rell and Wortman of the house and
Graham of the senate, ratifying the
proposed amendment to the constitu-
tion of the United tates to allow con
gress to levy an Income tax.

In lieu of drawing the torn edges of
a dress together with silk thread, or
even with the frayed threads of the
material, an excellent plan lies In
your medicine chest. A piece of court
plaster will form a good working basis
upon which a comparatively Invisible
reparation can be made.
If the tear be on the plain width
the Bklrt should be laid upon a table,
the edges pulled together and pinned
down, and finally the strip of court
plaster applied. A hot iron will press
the edges together, and the frayed
threads should be cut away aa a fin-
ishing touch.
Washington, D. C.—After the Bal-
Hager Plachot Investigating committee
had twice declined to grgui the request
of Attorney Brandels. representing
Louis R. Glavts and others, to compel
the Immediate attendance of Secretary
Ballinger aa a witness, John J. Ver-
trees made the opening statement in
Mr. Ballinger's behalf and began the
presentation of testimony. Mr. Ver-
tices declared that the teetlmony of
Glavls and others would be shown to
be “grossly false.”
"There is no act of Mr. Ballinger,”
asserted the attorney, "to which It Is
possible to ascribe an unworthy mo-
tive or Improper purpose otherwise
than through the suspicion of a per-
verted mind or the resentment of a
discharged public servant, or the pro-
gram of an unscrupulous political In-
trigue.”
“Patriot Glavls" came In for a large
share of Vertices’ attention.
"Glavls, suspicious by nature, be-
came perverted by detective service.”
“Glavls, believed to be honest and
known to be capable.”
“Glavla* refusal to speak is to be as-
cribed to a vanity that brooks no sug-
gestion."
Mr. Vertrees also dwelt at length
upon Gifford Pinchot and “the Pin*
chot service,” as he chose to desig-
nate the forestry.
“Mr. Pinchot, vain and flattered by
bis own publicity bureau.”
“Pinchot ceased to be the depart-
ment of agriculture.”
“He was exposed, and Mr. Ballinger
had committed the unpardonable sin
of defeating the ambition of a self-ex-
aggerated man.”
Of Mr. Ballinger the attorney raid:
“Mr. Ballinger holda that a conser-
vation is not a thing of caprice, but of
law.”
"True conservation has no sturdier
supporter than he.”
“Those who have already been born
and now breathe, have rights as well
as those yet to be born and yet to
breathe.”
“Developments ought not to be ex-
iled by theorists and doctrinarles.”
“He could have transferred Mr.
Glavls at any time and obviously
would have done so had he been mind-
ed to bring about improper official ao-
tion, which Patriot Glavls was pre-
venting and thwarting where he was.”
Mr. Ventrecs’ statement was a long
one, going Into the details of prac-
tically every phase of the case. He
■aid it would be shown as regards
the Cunningham claims and in all
other matters, Mr. Ballinger was
“clean handed” and that his actions
had been those of an honest and up-
right citizen and official.
He denied Secretary Ballinger had
ever drawn up an escrow agreement,
or any other sort of an agreement In
the Wilson coal land cases.
He asserted it would be shown Mr.
Ballinger was In no way responsible
that a reouest for an opinion on the
new coal lands act of 1908 had gone
first to Assistant Secretary Price
Secretary Price rather than to Attor-
ney General Wickersam. All along
the line a general deniel of “charges,
Inferences and Insinuations" was en-
tered.
Washing Black Stockings.
Remember the length of time you
take to wash white ones and rub ac-
cordingly. There Is no garment worn
requiring such care In cleansing as a
black stocking. Because you cannot aee
dirt Is no reason there is none. Do
not wash in hot water, but lukewarm.
I would suggest five minutes to one
pair. I have had new stockings ruined
in the first wash. Once Improperly
and hurriedly washed ruins them for-
ever. JLinger long at the washboard.
Nothing but good soap and washboard
la a success.
Lentil Soup.
c
*
One quart of lentils, two quarts of
cold water, one large onion, one tea-
spoonful of powdered herbs, pepper
and salt to taste, dash of red pepper,
two bay leaves, one blade of mace,
piece of celery. Wash the lentils well,
then boil with the rest of the Ingre-
dients for three hours, rub through a
sieve, return to the saucepan and boll
up with two heaping tablespoonfuls
of butter and one tablrspoonrul finely
chopped parsley. 8erv« hot with sip-
| pets of fried bread.
BANKERS ARE IN THE TOILS.
Pittsburg Has Many Promlnant Citi-
zens Who Are In a Vary Un-
happy Mental Frame.
Pittsburg. Pa.—That the graft cru-
sade is at last reaching the men
"higher up" is shown by an announce-
ment by the district attorney that if
certain bankers did not appear and
tell what they knew of the graft pro-
ceedings mentioned In the indictments,
bench* warrants would be issued for
them.
It Is expected that several of Pitta-
burg's best known financiers will ba
caught in the dragnet of this weeek’s
Investigation.
The strain Is wearing on those un-
der fire. This Is shown by the fact
that William Brand, who was com-
mitted to the penitentiary because ha
refused to make a satisfactory stat-
ment to the district attorney, has
broken down and is a nervous wreck
under-the care of prison physicians.
