An echo of the trouble at Black-
burn Chapel several weekB ago,
which at ttie time resulted In the ar-
iest of Ed Clary and hla consequent
fining in Justice Johnson's court, is
beard In a petition for divorce filed
In the Superior Court by his wife,
Eva Clary. The petition setB out
that the plaintiff was married to the
defendant July 1, last, and lived with
him until Sept. 24, last. Almost
from the time of their marriage, the
plaintiff alleges, defendant treated
her with indifference and contempt,
and about three weeks after said
marriage, at a dancing party, the de-
fendant went into a room with an-
other woman and remained there
with her about half an hour, and
then on the way home in a buggy
from the same party, defendant got
out of the buggy and had a long
talk in the dark with the same wo-
man. The plaintiff protested against
such treatment, the petition contin-
ues, and the defendant told her that
she was "too Q d Jealous,
any way." Again, the plaintiff as-
serts, the defendant walked seven
mileB to meet and dance with and
ta'k to the same woman; also, he
accompanied another woman to
Blackburn Chapel one Sunday night,
from a distance, and the expenses of
fendant turned his girl over to Lex
Sain and insisted on accompanying
the plaintiff, cursing and abusing her
in the meatnime. In addition to this,
the plaintiff alleges, the defendant
utterly failed to provide her with
any of the necessities of life, she
being compelled to rely upon her
parents and his for support. For all
of which she asks a divorce and the
restoration of ner maiden name,
Eva Blackburn
Sylvia Hurst asks for ,a divorce
from her husband, I. C. Hurst, and
cu&tod/ of their minor children. She
alleges non-support and extreme
cruelty. They were married Oct. 15,
1902.

Will Fight Suarez.
Mexico City, Oct. 6.—Leaders of
the Vasqulsta party and the Catholic
party are viewing with alarm a pos-
sibility that Jose Pinos Suarez may
have had sufficient popularity in tha
recent election to place him In the
vice-presidency, and have taken
steps toward forming a combination
against the Yucatan in the electoral
college. Whether they would unite
upon De la Barra or Dr. Vasquez
Gomez was a question to be decided,
but it was admitted by representa-
tives of both parties that the move-
ment was under way. Meanwhile,
at the Madero-Suarez party head-
quarters telegrams continue to ar-
rive in increasing numbers from ev-
ery quarter of the republic relating
the triumph of Madero's choice.
Pinos Suarez left last night for
Yucatan to enter upon his duties as
governor, to which post he was re-
cently elected. If successful in win-
ning the vice-presidency, he will se-
cure leave of absence from Yucatan
and take up his residence here. In
the event that he loses the vice-
presidential election, he would be
asked to assume a portfolio In the
new cabinet.

Mexico 'City, Oct. 5.—Plane for a
new revolutionary movement with
ramifications in Oxaca, Morlos, Pa-

against the supremacy of Madero, is

ret agents of the president-elect.
Oct. 15 is the date said to have been
fixed for the beginning of the new
insurrection. According to one who
has the confidence of Madero, it is
said the existence of secret caches

through connivance of a political of-

"HEAR BISHOP' QUAYLE"
At High School Auditorium, Thursday
night, Oct. 5. Subject, "Stalwartism."
Do not fail to hear him. Admission

Tomorrow is, the day scheduled for
the big doin's to begin. On that
said eventful day Shawnee High
School will lock horns with the East-
Central Normal of Ada in the first
big gridiron battle of the season.
This is the first time Shawnee High
has ventured to oppose the first
team of a State normal, and It is
conclusive evidence of the rapid
strides that are being made by the
school in athletic lines. The team
is so far untried, but the material
shows up better than ever before,
and that Is saying a great deal. The
whole back field Is composed of vet-
eran players who can be trusted to
keep their heads In a crises. In the
line, an end, the center and a tackle
are also old men. Both guards, left
tackle and right end are new men.
There is a wealth of material for
these positions, and as Coach Ed-
wards has not yet given out the
line-up, it is problematical who the
lucky men will be.
Rumors from Ada say that the Nor-
mal has a better team this year than
ever before, and a good game Is as-
sured.
Coach Edwards said this morning:
"While I do not positively say that
we will win tomorrow, we have a
good team, and I think we stand an
excellent show to carry away the
honors. Our boys have been work-
ing hard for four weeks and are in
the pink of condition.
Shawnee High this year will play
the best teams of the State. Many
of them have to be brought here
from a distance, an dthe expenses of
IB men, as you can see, will be quite
an item. We are to have four games
at home and three away. It will bo
necessary for the school to have the
support of all the citizens of Shaw-
nee to insure the success of the fi-
nancial end of affairs. The team Is
a good one and It Is to everybody's
interest to turn out and help, for a
good football team is a desirable ad-
vertisement for any city. The game
will be called tomorrow at Benson
Park at 4:30, and every person in-
terested in the welfare of Shawnee
and Shawnee High School Bhould
turn out.

mission, which is now composed of
the members of the Board of Affairs,
have had several conferences recent-
ly regarding the capltol, and we are
getting up every detail for the bene-
fit of architects who will submit
plans.
"Just when the commission will
take the first step toward the erec-
tion of the capltol, we are not ready
to announce. I can say, however,
that every detail looking to adequate
quarters for the State offices at a
minimum cost is being worked out,
and when all of these necessary pre-
liminaries are completed, the work
will go ahead."
It is the object of the commission
to have everything in readiness, so
that as soon as an appropriation is
made for the building, there will be
no delay. At present there are no
fuuds available for the work, but
theso probably will be provided when
the Legislature meets.
It Is the opinion of members of the
Board of Affairs that practically ev-
ery piece of material which will go
into the new capltol, when It is built,
can be secured In Oklahoma, thus re-
ducing the cost and at the same
time securing building materials of
an excellent quality.

Oklahoma City, Oct. 5.—-That Gov.
Cruce is giving much thought and
the Board of Affairs is doing a great
deal of work looking to the begin-
ning of the building of the State
capltol was evidenced Wednesday,
when a letter was received by the
bead of every department of the
State administration, asking for def-
inite information as to how much
room and the character of office ac-
commodations each will require. The
letter was sent out by Secretary
Howard, who urged that replies be
sent as quickly as possible.
Chairman Lon Frame of the Board
of Affairs said Wednesday:
"Gov. Cruce and the Capltol Corn-
Washington, D. C., Oct. 0.—The
task of attempting to put and end
to all Initiative and referendum leg-
islation in this country has begun
in the Supreme Court of the United
States. Counsel for the Pacific
States Telephone and Telegraph Co.
filed a brief with the court attacking
the taxing law of Oregon because It
was enacted by virtue of the Initia-
tive.
The initiative amendment and the
Oregon legislation were denounced
in the brief as violative of the rights
of a republican form of government,
It was contended that In legislative
assemblies the minority, If ever, fails
to moderate the wishes of the ma-
jority, however powerful, but that
government by direct legislation is
government by brute force.
Gov. Woodrow Wilson was quoted
as saying a government must have
Its law-making body, as "It can no
more make law through its voterB
than it can make law through Its
newspapers."
Reference was made to the claim
that the Intltlative method of legis-
lation Is a check against corrouption
of legislatures. "It were better," the
telephone company contends, "that
the struggle against abuse and cor-
ruption should continue than that
they should be eradicated by theo-
ries. It was asserted that no despot
or monarch would be permittted to
rule In any commonwealth or nation
and yet the "despotism of the multi-
tude is as completo as the absolut-
ism of a despot."
EDITOR REBUKED
TWICE INSISTS ON
MAKING TALK
Springfield, 111., Oct. 6.—H. N.
Wheeler, editor of the Qulncy Jour
nal, caused a disturbance in tho
Democratic meeting at a reception
hall, when he insisted on addressing
the gathering in opposition to the
wishes of the chairman, Mayor Car-
ter W. Harrison of Chicago.
Editor Wheeler, who Is recognized
as having allied with the Roger C.
Sullivan faction, made two unsuc-
cessful attempts to talk. The second
tliio ho narrowly escaped being
thrown out of the hall. For 10 min-
utes tho meeting was In an uproar,
while the members of the Cook
County Democracy shouted "Take
him out!"
Mayor Harrison and other leaders
restored order by appealing to Mr.
Wheeler to "be a gentleman and de-
sist In bis efforts to speak where he
was not wanted."
As far as possible, the Hearst
Harrison "progressive" Democrats
have read Sullivan and his followers
out of the Democratic party of Illi-
nois. In the resolutions, adopted
amid cheers, Sullivan and Lorlmer
were bitterly denounced and a de-
mand made for a leadership which
will battle for Democratic principles
rather than for partisan spoils.

"LUCKK iDUELIST"
HELD FOR MURDER
Oklahoma City, Oct. 5.—That a
man who willingly engages in a duel
and kills an opponent is guilty of
murder, no matter who fired the
first shot, Is the holding of the Crim-
inal Court of Appeals in an opinion
by Presiding Judge Furnam, denying
bail to J. H. Colby and Wade Stovall,
held in McClain County on a murder
charge. The syllabus says:
"Whero persons armed with dead-
ly weapons voluntarily and willingly
enter into a combat, knowing or hav-
ing reason to know that such con-
flict will result in the infliction of
serious bodily injury or in the death
of oue of said parties, and one of
said parties is killed in such con-
flict, the party doing the killing is
guilty of murder and is not entitled
to bail."
The killing occurred in a battle
between Colby and Stovall on one
side and the trustees of the Wash-
ington School District and some of
the residents of the district on the
other. Colby and Stovall had built
wire fence around the school-
house, which was torn down the fol-
lowing day by the other side. That
action precipitated a general battle
in which Autry and McClendon, mem-
bers of the board, were killed and
Colby was wounded.
