ic state convention convened here
Tuesday in the spneious convention
hall and ratified the nominations at

The news that W. J. Bryan Would
address the conventon for forty min-
utes enroute from Chickasha to

constitution and its salient features
and declared it should be adopted.
Following Mr. Bryan's address a
temporary organization was effected

mittee on permanent organization re-

TRADE WITH DEPENDENCIES
Exports Have Almost Doubled Within
Four Years
WASHINGTON: Trade of the Unit,
ed States with its outlying islands
and distant possessions generally will
aggregate nearly $150,000,000 in the
fiscal year which ends the present
month, against less than $100,000,000
in 1903, the first year tor which com-
plete figures are available.
During that period the shipments
from the United States to the outside
territory have increased about 90 per
cent and the receipts of merchandise
from them have increased about 25
per cent. Comparing the ten months |
of the present fiscal year with the
corresponding period of 1903, the first
year for which complete figures can
be had, the growth in shipments to
the entire noncontlnuous territory of
•the I nited States has been from $29.-
F>29.008 to $55,149,243, an increase of
RG 76 per cent, while shipments to
foreign countries were Increasing but
31.4 per cent. During the sam period |
the merchandise sent fr >ni the non-
continuous territories to the United
States has Increased from $48,250,099
to $59,693,323, an increase of 23.7 per
cent, while merchandise received from
foreign countries was Increasing 38 i
per cent.

pledging the party specifically to the j
strict enforcement of the prohibition ;

This precpitated a hot fight on the ■
floor of the convention. This motion [
was opposed by Oeorge A. Henshaw
of Madill, 10. J. Giddlngs of Oklahoma )
City, Woman Prueltt of Pauls Valley |
and others, while It was defended by
Thomas Owen. W. H. Murray and sev-
eral other delegates.
After the discussion had waged for
more than an hour the Owen amend- j
ment was tabled by roll call, the vote
standing 716 yeas and 398 nays.
C. II Ames of Oklahoma City then
offered u:i amendment striking out the i
clause relating lo the sale of the '
school lands, but the motion was
tabled without discussion. The prev- I
ious motion waa,tben called for, and
the report of the committee on reso-
lutions was adopted by unanimous j
vole.

tors were then in order, and Rov V.
Hoffman of Chandler placed before
the convention the name of his sue
cessful opponent, T. I". Gore of Law-
ton.

address In which he thanked them fot
the confidence they had imposed in
him.
\\ H. Murray presented the name of j
Robert L. Owen of Muskogee as sen- [
ator from the Indian Territory side of :

vention the name of C. N. Haskell of
Muskogee as the nominee for the first
governor or the new state. The nomi-
nate was seconded by Henry S.

platform In opening his address he
stated that the occasion was one
where no one would wish to be mis- j
understood or misquoted, and asked
the Indulgence of the convention, j
whle he read his address from manu- J

HORSE FOR THE MUSEUM.
Skeleton of Stonewall Jackson's
Charger Is Secured.
Pittsburg, pa—with the great
mass of official business off his hands,
caused by the annual meeting of the
Museum Directors' association, in this
city recently, Dr. W. J. Holland now
intends to devote himself to the
mounting of the many new finds made
within the last few months.
By far the most interesting of
these, from a historical standpoint, is
the skeleton of Stonewall Jackson's
horse, which was secured by the di-
rector against much quiet but per-
sistent competition. Dr. Holland will
prepare this exhibit with his own
hands, and it probably will be placed
in the museum within a fortnight. The
skeleton is said to be practically per-
fect.
The skeleton of another famous war
horse of the rebellion, Winchester, the
charger of Gen. Phil Sheridan, in his
famous 20-mlle ride, is government
property, and is kept in the museum
on Governor's island, in New York
harbor. This museum for a long tlm*
has been going to ruin through tbj
lack of an appropriation to keep it u;«
and the hide of the old war horse is
rapidly falling away from dry rot.
It is possible that "Winchester" will
be added to the Carnegie collection or
that both Jackson's and Sheridan's
horses will ultimately stand side by
side in a national museum.
TALL PEOPLE LIVE LONGEST.
Cleveland Health Officer Says Germa
Can't Climb Up to Their Noses.
Cleveland, O.—Health Officer Mar-
tin Friedrtch, of this city advances a
new germ theory that is certainly en-
couraging to people who are tall.
"Blessed are the tall," says Fried-
rich, "for they shall live long. A six-
footer," he continued, "has more
chance to escape disease germs than
the little fellow. Those built close to
the ground must be on the lookout."
Friedrtch was perusing the physi-
cians' mortality reports, and noticed
a prevalence of children's diseases.
Out of 26 cases of cerebro-spinal men-
ingitis, or spotted fever, reported to
his department since January 1, all of
the victims have been children.
• "I believe that most of the disease
germs are close to the ground," he
said. "We know that these germs are
taken into the system through the
nose In breathing. They find a breed
ing place in the dirt of the streets,
and as they are stirred up by the pass-
ing pedestrians, they are drawn into
the nose.
"The germs never reach any great
altitude. Most of them are falling
toward the earth, and as the chll
dren's noses are closer to the ground
than those of adults, they are more
likely to Inhale the disease-makers."
WIGS NOW MADE OF GLASS.
Lack of the Genuine Article Forces
Use of Novel Substitute.
London.—The enormous feminine
demand for artificial colls and tou-
pees is leading to a famine In human
hair. Formerly Swiss, German and
Hungarian girls supplied the world
of fashionable women with luxuriant
tresses of all tints.
But the governments of many coun-
tries are now making It Illegal for a
girl to sell her hair or for any agent
to buy it The supply In consequence
Is running short, and the prices of
real hair are trebling.
A series of successful experiments
point to spun glass as the most ef-
fective substitute for human hair.
Wigs made from spun glass are won-
derfully light and fine and the tex-
ture soft and beautiful

sired, while curls and waves can he

Ion of the moment. The Imitation is

between It and ri al hair growu ou tho

CHAPTER XIV.—Continued.
Stoddard had left me to go to the
other end of the platform to speak to
some of the students. I followed Pick-
ering rather reluctantly to where the
companions of his travels were pacing
to and fro in tho crisp morning air.
As soon as Pickering had got me
well under way In conversation with
Taylor, he excused himself hurriedly
and went off, as I assumed, to be sure
the station u'^ent had received orders
for attaching the private car to the
Chicago express. Taylor proved to be
a supercilious person,—1 believe they
call him Chilly Billy at the Metropoli-
tan club,—and our efforts to converse
were pathetically unfruitful. The two
ladles stool by. making no conceal-
ment of their Impatience. Their eyes
rere upon the git is from St. Agatha's
on tho ether platform, whom they
:!d see b ; :r.d me. I h?.d Jumped
ho conversation from Indiana farm
/aluej to the recent disorders In Bul-
taria, which interested me more, when
Mrs. Taylor, ignoring me, spoke ab-
ruptly to her sister.
"That's she—the one in the gray
oat. talking to the clergyman. She
:ame a moment ago in the carriage."
"The one with the umbrella? 1
bought you said—"
Mrs Taylor glanced at her sister
warningiy. and they both looked at
3ie. Then they detached themselves
ind moved away. There was some one
jn the farther platform whom they
wished to see, and Taylor, not unc>er-
itanding their maneuver—he was real-
ly anxious. I think, not to be left alone
with me—started down the platform
ifter them. I following. Mrs. Taylor
and her sister walked to the end of
tho platform and looked across, a bis-
ijit toss away, to where Stoddard
%'ood talking to the girl I had already
heard described as wearing a tAiy
?oat and carrying an umbrella.
The girl in gray crossed the track
.-julckly and addressed the two women
cordially. Taylor's back was to her
md he wa3 growing eloquent in a iiild
well-bred way over the dullness of our
statesmen in not seeing the advan-
ces that would accrue to the United
States in fostering our shipping Indus-
ry. His wife, her sister and the girl
in gray were so near that I could hear
plainly what they were saying. They
■*ere referring apparently to the girl's
refusal of an invitation to accompany
them to California.
"So you can't go—it's too bad! We
had hoped that when you really saw
us on the way you would relent," said
Mrs. Taylor.
"But there are many reasons; and
above all Sister Theresa needs me."
It was the voice of Olivia, a little
lower, a little more restrained than I
had known it; but undeniably it was
!le.
"But think of the rose gardens that
are waiting for us out there!" said the
other lady. They were showing her
the deference that elderly women al-
ways have for pretty girls.
"Alas, and again alas!" exclaimed
Olivia. "Please don't make it harder
for me than necessary. But I gave my
promise a year ago to spend these
holidays in Cincinnati."
She ignored me wholly and after
shaking hands with the ladles returned
to the other platform. I wondered
whether she was overlooking Taylor
on purpose to cut me.
Taylor was still at his lecture on the
needs of our American merchant ma-
rine when Pickering passed hurriedly,
crossed the track and began speaking
earnestly to the girl in gray.
"The American flag should command
the seas What we need is not more
battleships but more freight car-
riers—" Taylor was saying.
But I was watching Olivia Gladys
Armstrong. In a long skirt, with her
hair caught up under a gray toque that
matched her coat perfectly, she was
not my Olivia of the tam-o'-shanter,
who had pursued the rabbit; nor yet
the unsophisticated school girl, who
had suffered my Idiotic babble; nor,
again, tho dreamy rapt organist of the
chapel She was a grown woman with
at least 20 summers to her credit, and
there was about her an air of knowing
the world, and of not being at all a
person one would make foolish speech
es to. She spoke to Pickering gravely.
Once she smiled dolefully and shook
her head, and I vaguely strove to re-
member where 1 had seen that look
In her eyes before. Her gold beads,
which 1 had once carried In my pocket,
were clasped tight about the cloee col-
lar of her dress; and I was glad, very
glad, that I had ever touched anything
that belonged to her.
Who was Olivia Gladys Armstrong
ind what v at Arthur Pickering's busl-
iess with her? And what was it she
iiad said to me that evening when I
liad found her playing on the chapel
iirgan? So mach happened that day
i hat I had almost forgotten, und, in-
deed, I had tried to forget that 1 made
u fool of myself for the edification of
en amusing little school girl, "Then
/ou prefer to Ignore 'he first time I
over saw you," she hail sail; but if 1
had th-mfht of it at all It had been
with righteous self-contempt. Or, I
may have flattered my vanity with the
reflection that she had eyed me—her
hero, perhaps—with wistful admira-
tion across the wall.
Meanwhile the Chicago express
roared Into Annandale and the private
car was attached. Taylor watched
the trainmen with the cool interest of
a man for whom the proceeding had
no novelty, while he continued to di-
late upon the nation's commercial op-
portunities. 1 turned perforce, and
walked with him back toward the sta-
tion, where Mrs. Taylor and her sister
were talking to the conductor.
Pickering came running across the
platform with several telegrams in his
hand. ,
"I'm awfully sorry. Glenarm, that
our stop's so short,"—and Pickering's
face wore a worried look as he ad-
dressed me, his eyes on the conductor.
"How far do you go?" I asked.
"California. We have large interests
out there and 1 have to attend soma
stockholders' meetings in Colorado in
January."
"Ah, you business men! You busi-
ness men!" I said reproachfully. I
wished to call him a blackguard then
and there, and It was on my tongue to
do so, but I concluded that to wait
until he had shown his hand fully
was the better game.
The ladies entered the car and I
shook hands with Taylor, who threat-
ened to send me his pamphlet on The
Needs of American Shipping when ie
got back lo New York.
"It's too bad she wouldn't go with
"1 dldnt know the/ ever grew up
so fast—In a day and a night!"
I was glad I remembered the num-
ber of beads In her chain; the item
seemed at once to tecome important.
"It's the air, I suppose. It's praised
by excellent critics." she laughed.
"But you are going to an ampler
ether, a diviner air. You have at-
tained the beatific state and at or>ce
take flight. If they confer perfectt n
like an academic degree at St. Ag-
atha's, then—"
I had never felt so stupidly helpless
in my life. There were a thousand
things I wished to ss^ to her; there
were countless quesUxms I wished to
ask; but her calmnesi and poise were
disconcerting. Her eyes met mine
easily; their azure depths puzzled me.
She was almost, but not quite, some
one I had seen before, and it was not
my woodland Olivia. Her eyes, the
sofe curve of her cheek, the light in
her hair—but the memory of auother
time, another place, another girl, lured
only to baffle me.
She laughed—a little murmuring
laugh.
"I'll never tejl if you won't," she
said.
"But I don't see how that helps me
with you?"
"It certainly does not! That is a
much more serious matter, Mr. Glen-
arm."
"And the worst of it is that I
haven't a single thing to say for my-
self. It wasn't the not knowing that
was so utterly dull—"
"Certainly not! It was talking that
ridiculous twaddle. It was trying tja

us. Poor girl! this must be a dreary
hole for her," he said to Pickering,
who helped him upon the platform of
the car with what seemed to be un-
necessary precipitation.
"You little know us." I declared, for
Pickering's benefit. "Life in Annan-
dale is nothing if not exciting. The
people here are indifferent marksmen
or there'd be murders galore."
"Mr. Glenarm Is a good deal of a
wag," explained Pickering, hastily
swinging himself aboard as the train
started.
"Yes; It's my humor that keeps me
alive," I responded, and taking off my
hat I saluted Arthur Pickering with
my broadest salaam.
CHAPTER XV.
I Make an Engagement.
The south bound train was now due
in ten minutes. A few students had
boarded the Chicago train, but a
greater number still waited on the
farther platform. The girl in gray
was surrounded by half a dozen stu-
dents, all talking animatedly. As I
walked toward them I could not jus-
tify my stupidity in mistaking a
school girl of 15 or 16 for a grown
woman; but it was the tam-o'-shanter,
the short skirt, the youthful joy in
the outdoor world that had disguised
her as effectually as Rosalind to the
eyes of Orlando. She was probably a
teacher—quite likely the teacher of
music, I argued, who had amused her-
self at my expense.
It had seemed the easiest thing In
the world to approach her with an
apology or a farewell, but those few
Inches added to her skirt and that
pretty gray toque substituted for the
tam-o-shanter sot up a barrier that
did not yield at all as I drew nearer.
At the last moment, as I crossed the
track nnd stepped upon the other plat-
form, it occurred to me that while I
might have some claim upon the at-
tention of Olivia Gladys Armstrong, a
wayward school girl of athletic tastes,
I had none whatever upon a person
whom it was proper to address as |
Miss Armstrong—who was, I felt sure,
quite capable of snubbing me If snub-
bing fell in with her mood.
She glanced toward me and bowed
instantly, and her young companions
withdrew to a conservative distance
I will say this for the students at St.
Agatha's, Annandale: Their manners
are beyond criticism, and an affablo
discretion is one of their most admira-
ble traits.
flirt with a silly school girl. WThat
will do for 15 is somewhat vacuous
for—"
She paused abruptly, colored and
laughed.
"1 am 27!"
"And I am just the usual age," she
said.
"Ages don't count., but time is im-
portant. There are many things I
wish you would tell me—you who hold
the key of the gate of mystery."
"Then you'll hava to pick the lock!"
She laughed lightly. The somber
Sisters patrolling the platform with
their charges heeded us little.
"I had no idea you knew Arthur
Pickering—when you were just Olivia
in the tam-o'-shanter."
"Maybe you think he wouldn't have
cared for my acquaintance—as Olivia
in the tam-o'-shanter. Men are very
queer!"
"But Arthur Pickering is an old
friend of mine."
"So he told me."
"We were neighbors In our youth."
"I believe I have beard him mention
it."
"And we did our prep school to-
gether, and then parted!"
"You tell exactly the same story, so
it must be true. He went to college
and you went to Tech."
"And you knew him—?" I began,
my curiosity thoroughly aroused.
"Not at college , any more than I
knew you at Tech."
"The train's coming," I said earn-
estly, "and I wish you would tell me—
when I shall see you again!"
"Before we part for ever?" There
was a mischievous hint of the Olivia
in short skirts In her tone.
"Please don't suggest It! Our time9
have been strange and few. There
was that fir3t night when you called
to me from the lake."
"How Impertinent! How dare you
remember that?"
"And there was the snow storm and
at the chapel porch last night. Neith-
er you nor I hail the sllgh.eat business
there. But y?a spoke as though you
understood what you must have heard,
and you say you ktjiw Arthur Picker-
ing. It is important for mo to know.-
I have a right to know just what you
meant by that warning."
Real distress showed In her <>•«< fo
ar. instant. Th- *gent and his helpers
rushed the haggaga down the
platform as the rails hummed thuir
naming of the approaching trait.,
