nary meetings, but like the Musko-
gee Commercial Club, when they saw
the delegation from Tahlequah pour-
ing into their rooms, they took fright
at the number In attendance and ar-
rangements were quickly made for

Haskell, who gave an interesting
talk on suburban railroads, pointing
out the many advantages a road of
this kind would be to the city and
rural districts as well. Ho explained
his inability to completely construct
the road on his own finances, but
stated that if Cherokee Co tnty would
secure the right of way !' r the line
and make a donation of $15,000 the
road would be built through Tahle-
quah with a terminal, for the pres-
ent, at some beauty spot on the Illi-
nois river.

the proposition were made by It. li.

In Wheat is Now Being
Investigated
Chicago, Nov. 3.—Any man or
set of men who buy so much grain
that the price is held out of line or
out of reacil of buyers may be con-
sidered as acting in the opinion of
President J. C. F. Merrill of the Chi-
cago Board of Trade, Washington
agents are working In the investiga-
tion of an alleged corner in wheat
centered at Chicago and extending
from Duluth and Minneapolis to the
seaboard.
Although declaring that in investi-
gation of the Chicago Board of
Trade itself is under way, to the best
of his knowledge. President Merrill
tonight said:
"I do know that the federal agents
who were in LaSalle Street Tues-
day went to the northwestern mar-
kets yesterday. This makts it Iook as
if the department of justice at Wash-
ington considered there v i some
understanding between big wheat
owners here and at other large cen-
ters. So far as the Board of Trade
for j as an organization is concerned all is
many hours huge crowds of his ad-: serene."
mirers marched here and there | Rumors were current this evening
through the city, bearing banners that a former stenographer of the

Yesterday afternoon the oath was
administered to the eight members
of h's cabinet. At the same time
Francisco Leon De lo Barra, who
has governored the country as pro-
visional president since the day Gen-
eral Diaz left the capital for Europe,
boarded a special train for Vera Cruz
from where he, too, will sail for Eu-
rope, on a diplomatic mission.
The personnel of the cabinet with
which President Madero begins his
'administration follows:
Foreign relations, Manuel Calera;
| interior, Abraham Gonzales; justice,
i Manuel Vasquez Tagle; education,
Miguel Diaz Lombardo; communica-
tions, Manuel Bonilla; finance, Ern-
esto Madero; war, General Jose Gon-
zales Salas; fomento, Rafael Hernon-
dez.
Upon the return of De la Barra
from Italy, which will not be for
some months, it is expected he will
take the portfolio of the foreign of-
fice, Calero going as ambassador to
Washington. Last night the public
buildings facing upon the Zocalo in
front of the national palace, were
brilliantly illuminated as was San
Francisco street, over which there
had been erected a series of arches
bearing heavy burdens of electric
lights.
The new president took no part in
the public manifestation, but
source of which is not disclosed,
sixty per cent of the country's wheat
supply is controlled by an illegal
combination of speculators and 17,-
000,000 bushels of the total holdings
of the clique are in Chicago grain
elevators.
Threats that warehouse receipts
for millions of bushels in store here
might be seized as evidence in a con-
spiracy trial had a paralyzing effect
on "change today." The last few
minutes of trading the market broke
Muskogee, Nov. 4.—A negro wai-
ted by the officers in Wragoner Coun-
ty was seen yesterday and the blood-
hounds of the Southwestern Detec-
tive Agency were put on his trail.
About two months ago two negroes
were accused of beating up a woman
near Coweta.
The woman attempted to escape
and ran into- the home of George
Evans. The neroes were just behind
running after her. Almost to the
nearly two cents from top figures and j house she was overtaken by the ne-
closed in a whirl of excited selling groeS- Mr. Evans attempted to in-
within '1 cent of the lowest point terfere in her behalf. The negroes

A statement was made last night
that the Armour Grain Company per-

the ends of their guns until the
stocks fell off. Mrs. Evans came to

bushels were transferred to a group herself beaten.

was said, being allowed to remove the
grain from the Armour warehouses
when convenient. One theory is
that the government proceedings
were originally started with a view
to heading off such a mammoth
transfer.
SALE OF UNALLOTTED LAND IN
CHEROKEE COUNTY.
On December 6th the Commis-
sioner to the Five Civilized Tribes
will sell approximately 4,000 acres
of unallotted lands in Cherokee
County. This land will be sold to
the highest bidder, without appraise-
ment, terms 25 per cent at time of
sale, 25 per cent within six months,
and the balance 12 months from date
of sale.
Excited mobs wanting to kill
were out after the two negroes and
had they been captured that night
It is more than likely they would
have been hung and even perhaps
burned at the stake.
Claremore Here
Next Friday
The Claremore Preparatory School
will meet the Northeastern boys on
the gridiron at the Normal Athletic
Park Friday afternoon. The boys
of the Northeastern claim they can
beat the Claremore boys and are go-
