When the legislature meets next January there will be no caucus
of the republican members to wrangle over the honor of who shall be

While thfB state election board closed last night so far as the filing
of petitions is concerned, there is yet a vast amount of work to be
done and it is probable that they will not conclude their labors before
next week. A large force of stenographers and assistants is at work
copying the petitions and checking them off to be sure that no errors
have been made.
The board kept its offices open until 12:30 o'clock this morning in
order that any belated petitioners might have an opportunity to file.
Pile last petition filed was that of I). M. Schanholtzer, democrat, of
Wann, who will contest J. A. Tillotson for the nomination for repre-
sentative from Nowata county.
A glance over the petitions shows that about seventy-five or
eighty members of the lower house are seeking to return for the next
session.
Numerous petitions were filed for United States Senator Gore.
He will have no opponent for the nomination, it being generally felt
that he is entitled to a second term without opjjosition.
The socialists will also have a ticket, but the election board had
not completed the examination of their petitions up to press time.
Below is s list of democratic candidates that filed petitions:

tied use for a reasonable length of
time will restore me to perfect health."

Special to Dally Leader.
Boston, Mass.. July 1.—One of the
most observed of all those in atten-
lance at the Club Women's conven-
tion here is little Charles Hills Johns
the 6-year-old son of Mrs. Edward
Johns, a delegate from Chickasha.
Okla. Mrs. Johns wanted to attend,
but could not if she didn't bring 'ner
boy. Both Mrs. Johns and her son
have been constant attendants at the
convention sessions and both have
been centers of attraction at every
gathering. Little Charles is having
the time of his life. "Out in Oklaho-
ma," jays Mrs. Johns, "every time the
mayor of any city wants anything
loue, he issues a proclamation to the
women, wno turn out and do it."
Mrs. Johns, with her son and the re-
mainder of the Oklahoma delegation,
numbering forty delegates and lady
members, will go from Boston to Phil-
adelphia, where they will present a
flag of forty-six stars to the women
of Philadelphia. Liberty hall. July 4,
the compliment being returned by the
Philadelphia women.
BOY ENJOYING CLUB MEETING
It Can't Be Beat.
The best of all teachers is experi-
ence. C. M. Harden, of Silver City,
North Carolina, says: "I find Electric
Bitters docs all that's claimed for it.
For Stomach, Liver and Kidney trou
bles it can t be beat. I have tried It
and find it the most excellent medi-
cine." Mr. Harden is right; it's the
best of all medicines also for weak-
ness. lame back, and all run down
conditions. Best too for chills and
malaria. 8old under guarantee at C

CLEANING SILK FABRICS.
Silk of any kind or color may be
sayscloaned cendaterjou!d.o( M sh ss
cleaned in the following manner,'
says Woman's Home Companion for
July. "For every quart of water to
be used in washing a dress, pare and
grate one large potato. Put the
gated potatoes Into the water, which
must be cold and soft; let. stand two
days without being disturbed in any
way, then very carefully pour off the
clear liquid from the sediment into a

THE SAGEBRUSHER.
From Ray Standard Baker's "The
Western Spirit of Restlessness" in
the July Century:
The sagebrusher is the extremo
manifestation of the Western spirit of
restlessness the love of moving about,
the conviction that more money is 0
be made more easily somewhere else.
For years, indeed, the West, with its
opening opportunities, has been the
lodestOne for the restless spirits of tne
entire country. The Kansas and Ne-
braska boom of the eighties, which
crowded the semi-arid lands of those
states with hopeful settlers and built
up mushroom towns soon to succumb
to a few disastrous crop failures, was
one of tne great incentives of far west-
ern immigration. A large proportion
of the settlers have their memories of
Kansas failures, rainless summers, and
consuming mortgages, and weaklings
often became floaters.

The Kind You Have Always Bought
Bears the
Signature of
Oklahoma City, July 1.—Shortly af-
ter 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon the
Jury that, is to determine whether
or not Lila Meadowg Is guilty of com-
plicity iu tiie murder of her husband,
James R. Aleadows, was accepted bj
both the prosecution and defense and
ordered sworn in.
The sudden manner in which th*
jury was accepted eame as a great
surprise to many since there were
four peremptory challenges left to
ach side and from the persistent ar-
guments on every point, It waa not
expected that the jury would be ac-
cepted without first exhausting the
challenges.
A. D. fHumbarger, a reporter, was-
first witness to take the stand. In
.substance his testimony was to the
ffect that on the night of Mrs. Mead-
ow's arrest she denied at the police
station, In the presence of himself-
and Night Chief Tod Warden, that
she knew Tegler or anyone who work
ed at the city waterworks. When
told that her husband's body had been
found, Mr. HunAarger testified that
she displayed no apparent emotion'
and did not even Inquire as to where
the body was found, or make a request
to see It. "Her manner was not un
usual but she appeared to be under
the normal condition," said Mr. Hum-
barger. "There was 110 burden, ap-
parently, 011 her mind and she show
ed no sentiment whatever."
When asked by Prosecutor HarrU-
what questions he asked her, Mr.
Humbarger replied that he plied her
concerning her alleged intimate rela
tions with other men, to which she
answered that she loved her husband
and never had anything to do with
other men.
Attorney Johnson tor the defense
was on his feet almost constantly anil
both sides entered Into quite a lengthy
argument as to whether the witness
could read from the newspaper clip-
pings purporting to be Interviews
which he had with Mrs. Meadows.
Mr. Johnson was challenging the
ight of the witness to refresh his
memory from these clippings which
had not been shown to be authentic
while Mr. Harris contended his right
to refer to them. Exceptions were ta-
ken In each Instance where the judge
erruled objections made by the de-
iensv
The last hitch came when Mr. Har-
ris stated to the court that he claim-
ed to have the right to show any ad-
mission made by Tegeler or any act
of Tegeler to connect Mrs. Meadows
and first proposed to prove that Tegel-
er killed James R. Meadows and that
Mrs. Meadows aided, counselled and
advised in the crime.
The attorneys for the defense claim
that the prosecution has no right to
bring in the Tegeler part of the case
in trying Mrs. Moadows but that her
trial must be entirely separate. Both
sides cited authorities to bear out
their contentions and the judge desir-
ing to aettle the question at once and
all since it is one that will come
up frequently, adjourned court and
gave the attorneys instructions to
bring with them this morning what-
ever authority they have on the point
involved in order that he may fully
satisfy himself.
The jury that is to try Mrs. Mead-
ows Is composed of farmers and mer-
chants with the exception of a car-
penter and a clerk. The members are:
Hugh McCredie, merchant. James
Cooper, farmer; Jeff Pennington, re-
tired merchant; William Leonard,
Merchant; E. M. Johnson farmer;
Lee Tomlln, retired 'merchant; Ed
hitter, clerk; C. II. Whalen, merchant;
Charles Brandt, farmer; O. C. Hur-
burt, farmer; John Reynold's farmer;
A. C. McCullough, carpenter.
Prosecutor Harris in his opening
statement, related the whole story to
the jury ^beginning with the alleged
relations between Mrs. Meadows and
Rudolph Tegeler, how he visited her
frequently during her husband's ah
eence; how she went driving with
him. how they would pass to acquaint-
ances as cousins and kiss each other
whenever the husband waa not around
the story of the disappearance of
Meadows, subsequent actions on the
part of both Tegeler and Mrs. Mead-
ows, the diagram that led to the dis-
covery of the body and final arrests
of both Tegeler and Mrs. Meadows,
charged with the murder.
He also touched upon the letter
written from a supposed "Mfcfther"
Myers to Tegeler, how the handwrit-
ing resembled that of Mrs. Meadows
minutely, and the conflicting storks
that have been related In an attempt
to explain away the mystery that sur-
rounds this transaction.
Mrs. Meadows appeared in the court
room dressed in the same black dress
and bearing the same apparent Indif-
ference to the proceedings. Except
during the statement of the case to
the jury by Prosecutor Harris, Mrs.
Meadows gave him very little atten-
tion but during this proceeding she
was all attention.

ANIMALS AND AUTOMOBILES.
In the July American Magazine Oe-
ave Mirbeau writes entertainingly of
Animals and Automobiles," describ-
ing a motorist's experiences with the
beasts of the road, horse, cows, chick-
ens, dogs, gees, mules—and men. A
Poppfnt's illustrations are even more
aintislng than the article.
Of geese M. Milrbeau says:
"I call all chauffeurs to witness
that, on the road, geese Invariably step
aside without the least sign of terror
or disorder. They file off through the
dltc.j. dignified, in spite of their un-
gainly gait, and not hesitating to ex-
press their displeasure at the intrud-
ing motorists who have disturbed but
not disorganized them.
"I have never passed a flock of
$eese, in my machine, without feeling
embarassed at their mockery. Thai!)
hissing voice intimidates me. It is not
that they hurl Insults at me—gent
are never insulting—they mock me,
gees are never Insulting—they mock
me, which Is more disconcerting. I
wonder what they say when I pass?**

Balloon Explosion Discussed.
Adetailed descdlpltlon of the Mor-
i-ell dirigible balloon which exploded
at a height of 300 feet at Berkeley,
Cal., appears in the July number of
Popular Mechanics, together with sev-
eral remarkable views of the machine,
both before and after the gas bag was
ruptured. The article discusses the
causes of the disaster in which the 16
<lari f men were injured. In mid air
the bag resembled a huge caterpillar
with come strange power of wingless
suspension and flight. It is generally
believed that the cotton canvass used
for the bag was Its weakness. Silk
is the material ordinarily used.
Too few young men and women are
taught to do something, and too many
are taught to recite.

that saved his life. William H. Strol-

SALUTE FIRED AT FORT SILL.
Lawton, Okla., June 27.—The parade
ground flag at Fort Sill was kept at
half mast yesterday and at 5 o'clock
a fifteen-gun salute was fired In mem-
ory of Grover Cleveland whose body

memorate an event and probably the
first time that Fort Sill troops, in late
years at least, have fired euch a
