'•COW BOY" SMITH.
"Cowboy" Smith and Ills wife, who
are appearing at the Coliseum this
w.-ek, are putting on a copable of
turns that are real attractions and
fully justify the large crowds that
turn out to see them perform. The
Hindoo box mystery is a sure enough
mystery. Mrs. Smith dons a coat
belonging to some man in the audi-
nice and then, with her thumbs tied
together, is placed in the cabinet.
"Cowboy" Smith makes a few rapid
passes and he is in the box wearing
the coat with his hands tied and his
wife is on the outside looking in.
but the part of the program that
arouses the keenest interest is the
race between "Cowboy" Smith
foot aud one of the local champions
on skates. Last night Smith walked
a half mile two seconds faster than
Melvin Clark could skate a mile. It
;i good, close contest and It
lo^1*e«l as if Clark nould «.•! the de-
cision but he let down a little on the

Smith's time was given at four
minutes aud fifteen seconds.—Bar-

'THE LION AND THE MOUSE."
When "The Lion and the Mouse" is
seen at the Becker Theater on March
11 it is expected to bear traces of
renewed activity and business acu-
men on the part of its producer, Hen-
ry B. Harris, as he is said to have
given the Charles Klein d"tma the
benefit of his experience In knowing
what it means to maintain the high
standard of his attractions presented
to the play-going public. Mr. Harris
promises a company that Is said to
excel any yet seen In this popular
and pleasing drama, and an equip-
ment of scenic accessories that has
liad the attention of his corps of
builders throughout the summer.
Those who have seen "The Lion and
the Mouse" will understand that the
latter Is but a small factor in the
giving of a pleasing performance, as
the drama of finance it, itself, of
sufficient value and weight to de-
serve their most worthy attention, but
Mr. Harris has shown In the past
that he desires each minute detail
carried to the point of satisfaction to
the most sanguine. His success In
the show world tends to prove that
he has not judged amiss in this re-
gard. Prices 50c to (1.50.
"THE DISTRICT LEADER."
musical comedy with an actual I of Franklin
Guthrie, Okla.. March 11—The
house turned down the Gllmer-Maxey
bill under which It was sought to ap-
propriate $10,000 for the maintenance
of a home for ex-Confederate soldiers.
Rogers spoke warmly in praise ot
the old soldier, regardless of the side
on which he may have fought, bu'
said he was against this or any other
soldiers' home appropriation. How-
ever, he voted for the bill on roll
call. It seems that ex-Confederat-s
in his home county had written him
against the bill.
The bill had two eloquent defend
ers in Gilmer, and also Williams ot
Pushmataha, both sons of the Con
federacy.
Durant stated that while his father
had been a major in the Confederate
army, he was against the bill. H
felt that the children of ex-Confed-
erates should be too proud to ask
the state aid In a matter like this.
He said he would rather look aft'i'
the support, personally, of those 'o
whom he was morally obligated.
Ex-Confederates Speak.
There are a number of ex-Confed-
erates in the house and they were di-
vided in their sentiment on the bill.

TOTAL Of 595
Washington, 1). C., March 11
With a view to further developing
the coal industry of Oklahoma and
giving it a better status in the com-
mercial world the government pro-
poses to send a mining engineer to
the state to make extensive invest!-
nation and reports.
This work will be carried on in
connection with the experts to be
sent to the McAlester Held to demon
strate safety methods and rescue
work. At the demonstration station
at McAlester instruction will be giv-
en to miners and operators of the
district as to how to save lives in
mine disasters.
While Oklahoma coal is of high
quality, the failure of the government
to give it a classification and ruling
has precluded the operators from bid-
ding on government contracts. When
the government rating is published
and sent out, It will give Oklahoma
coal a standing in the markets It
has not had heretofore.

Cood Cough Medicine for Children
The season for coughs and colds is
now at hand and too much care can-
not be used to protect the children.
A child Is much more likely to con-
tract diphtheria or scarlet fever when
he has a cold. The quicker you cure
his cold the less the risk. Chamber-
lain's Cough Remedy Is the sole re-
liance of many mothers, and few ot
those who have tried it are willing
to use any other. Mrs. F. F. Starch-
er, of Ripley, W. Va„ says: "I have
never used anything other than
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for my
children, and It has always given
good satisfaction." This remedy con-
tains no opium or other narcotic and
may be given as confidently to
child as to an adult. For sale by all
druggists.

MONEY BILL
Guthrie, Okla., March 11.—Person-
alities were Infused Into the debate
In the senate Wednesday over the
Yeager bill appropriating (15,000 to
be used by the attorney general's de-
partment In representing the state In
the natural gas Injunction suit, In
which the state Is made defendant by
four corporations seeking to pipe gas
out of the state. The bill was de
feated 19 to 12.
Roddle and Graham led tile light.
Roddle declared the attempt to bring
In Standard Oil charges In connec-
tion with the opposition to the meas-
ure was "cheap demagoguery."
Graham questioned the sincerity of
the attorney general. "Why did ho
serve notice on the governor that he
would retain to asslBt him a lawyer
already In the employ of one of the
large gas corporations?" he demand-
ed to know.
Attorney General West has empha-
sized through Senator Yeager the
necessity of having funds to keep the
state's gas supply for home consump-
tion.
The Smith bill, permitting prosecu-
tion by Information, was passed final-
ly.

A strongly developed story added to of such an instilutiou. Rotenberry
a number of extremely catchy and was formerly commander of a camp
tuneful songs is a combination which of Confederate veterans and he stated
has made "The District Leader" the
hit of the season. To say that the
music shows Mr. Howard at his best
is enough to guarantee the attrac-
tiveness of that part of the produc-
tion, and as the story itself Is on an
equal plane of excellence, the result
is a well rounded entertainment. Miss
Grace Sloan plays the part of Flos-
sie Whittle, an innocent and ingenu-
ous maiden from Teaneck, N. J., In
the same fascinating way that made
her a popular favorite in "The I.and
of Nod," "The Tenderfoot" and other
productions. Miss Sloan's ability to
portray this sort of part Is ungues
tioued and her singing and dancing
are leading features of the play. An
able company supports Miss Sloan In

can really sing and dance, helps to-
ward the attractiveness of an enter-

Norman, Okla., March 11.—"My
husband never claimed to be fabu-
lously wealthy or anything of the
kind," said Mrs. William Henry Kille-
by, wife of the alleged bigamist, her
husband of a few weeks and self-
styled gold mine operator and pearl
bed discoverer.
"William would have come back
with me if the telegram had come a
little sooner." Mrs. Killeby returned
to Norman last week, summoned by
a telegram stating her mother was
dying. When she arrived home she
found her mother had sent the mes-
sage herself to bring her from her
husband, who is now under arrest in
i El Paso, Tex.
"I hear from him twice a day," she
said, smilingly. "He will return here
to stand trial without any fight over
requisition papers. He is sick in the
hospital.

report that she was planning to go
to Washington. She said she would
stay in Oklahoma and help her bus
band out of this trouble. Outwardly
she Is as loyal to him as when she
first returned.
"Why, he told me himself the pearl
beds he owned and sold to French
capitalists were in litigation and he
doubted whether he would get much
out of them.

to Mrs. Killeby the ex-Indian scout
owned only an interest.

Guthrie, Okla., March 11.—With
blood iu his eye and thunder lurking
in his voice "Pa" Blair, as that pop-
ular senator is termed by his fellow
legislators, did cleave the air with his
clenched fist and declared- with a
"stage whisper" that made the can-
vass awning twenty feet above him
tremble, that the Russell senate bill
No. 144 Instead of being non-poitlcal
in effect, simply dragged the office
of president of the state board of ag-
riculture more and more into the
mire of politics.
And he declared that Senator Bill-
ups was trying to evade, and used
the title "Chief Snake in the Grass";
and he shouted out that black-handed
methods would destroy that office and
be bespoke the name "Weazel" and
looked at Russell with meaningful
glances that scorched the blotter on
that senator's desk.
And when the clouds rolled away
and the bill was considered, yea, even
the second time, Senator Campbell
Russell triumphed on an amendment
offered by Senator "Clint" Graham oi
Marietta, that senator offering to
amend the salary section relating to
the president of the board to read
$2,000 instead of $2,500, as it now
reads, or even $1,500 as "Pa" Blair
yearned and did desire that it should
be.

The company is by far the best stock

there will be. It is the only stocTt

says that owning to the numerous
low-priced amusements in Shawnee
he is going to give everybody a
chance to visit them all, if so in-
clined, at a low price all round; and
if he fills the house every night, as
was the case last night, he is going
to make it pay. *He deserves the
