RURAL FREE DELIVERY CONVENTION IN SHAWNEE JULY 10TH
OKLAHOMA HONORED
OY THE EDUCATORS
Asbury Park, N. J., Jnly 7—Oklahoma
■was honored by the National Education-
al association by the election of two
Oklahomans to office. They are Ed S.
Vaught, as vice president, and Andrew
R. Hickam, as director. John D. Bene-
dict is Indian Territory's director.
President Roosevelt's flying trip here
today when he delivered two addresses,
brought to a close the annnal convention
of the National Educational Association.
The President's first address was deliver-
ed in the auditorium and the second on
the beach front., Officers were elected
and directors. for the different states
chosen. There was a slight stir at the
meeting of the national council over the
adoption of the directors' report relative
to the reiucorporation.
The original incorporation as a nation-
al body was for a period of twenty year9,
and the association by limitation will
cease to exist Jan. 26, next. The direct-
ors expect special laws to be passed by
congress and reported in favor of taking
advantage of them and forming a new
organization to succeed and continue the
present one. When the report came up
for adoption Miss Margaret Haley of Chi-
cago, objected to the approval of the plan,
MAKE THE BEST OF LIFE.
She charged that the report was a plan
to turn over to w corporation not yet
formed, the rights and property of the
association. President Maxwell ruled
her out of order. Miss Haley appealed
to the meeting from the president's rul-
ing, but failed to have her appeal sus-
tained. She then announced she had
power of attorney from a large number
of the members and would make a fight
in the courts against the plans. The re
port was adopted, but Miss Haley con-
tinued to speak and the meeting was in
an uproar when some one moved to ad-
journ. This was carried.
BENT HER DOUBLE.
"I knew 110 one, for four weeks, when
I was sick with typhoid and kidney troub
le," writes Mrs. Anna Hunter, of Pitts
burg, Pa., "and when I got better, al-
lioughjl had one of the best doctors I
could get, I was bent double and had to
rest my hands on my knees when I walk-
ed. From this terrible affliction I was
rescued byJElectric Bitters, which restor-
ed my health and strength, and now I
can walk as straight as ever. They are
simply wonderful." Guaranteed to cure

0 one makes the beet of life who lives for self
alone. The sweetest joys and the truest
suooess are the outgrowth of self-forgetting,
self-effaoing kindness to others. Joseph
owed his promotion largely to suoh kindly
consideration. One morning, seeing the counte-
nance of two of his fellow- prisoners full of sadness,
he inquired: "Wherefore look ye so sadly today?"
Two years later one of these men remembered
the kindness of Joseph and spoke the word which
exalted him to the second place in the land. It is
safe to affirm that no one act of unselfish kindness is
ever lost. It may not exalt one to plaoes of honor
and power, it may not bedeck him with chains of
gold, but it will live in the hearts of those to whom
it was sh )wn, and at the lost great assize the judge
of all will say: "Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of
the least of these, my brethren, ye d.d it unto me."

WON'T FIRE ON THE
REDEL RATTLESHIP
ANOTHER K'LLING
AT "THE CORNERS"
THE NORMAL
MEETINGS
'
The "Corners," the little Hamlet in
the southeastern part of the county, was
Thursday evening the scene of another
killing.
A Chickasaw nation farmer named Ed
Hendricks became a victim of George
Miller, who with unerring, aim, fired
three shots into the man'sbody and after-
wards crossed the South Canadian river
and is now somewhere in hiding in the
Indian Territory.
No detailed report of the cause of the
killing of Hendricks is today obtainable
beyond the fact that the two men had
some slight trouble prior to the fatal meet-
ing and that it was wholly unexpected
by the friends of the parties.
The shooting took place in front of
the saloon, where Miller was employed
as bartender, and who fired three shots
at Hendricks, who was sitting in his
buggy, each ball taking effect in the
man's body, producing instant death.
Little is known here of the dead man's
character or antecedents, but George,
familiarly known as "Hookey" Miller,
from the fact that he wears a metal hook
in the place of a hand, which he lost
years ago in a duel in Texas, is well
known tUrouglioutxthe southwest as be
ing one of the last of the desperate bor-
der characters.
The last shooting scrape in which Mil-
ler figured in this county previous to the
killing of Hendricks, was about two
years ago, when, as is alleged, he shot a
man named Trout, who was making his
escape from the river bottom flood,
short distance from the "Corners," from
which wound Trout finally recovered.
Sheriff Grace, who at that time arrest
ed Miller, after gazing a few seconds into
the muzzle of the latters winchester, but
who finally maiie a peaceable surrender,
was in the city this morning enroute to
the scene of the killing with a warrant
for Miller's arrest.
In speaking to Thk News-DispaTCH
of the somewhat disagreeable task before
hiui Sheriff Grace said: "I understand
Miller has left the "Corners" and
crossed the river into the Chickasaw
country and it may take me sometime to
overtake and arrest him. He is certainly
one of the most desperate men I have
ever met but I expect to effect his arrest
without any serious consequences, for no
man of George Miller's bravery will at
tempt to murder all officer while in the
discharge of his duty.
Notice.
The committee from the different
unions on the Labor Masonic proposition
will meet toext Sunday afternoon
Labor World hall. A full attendance is
desired.
TKOBURN HAS
A NEW JOB
MATHLY IS
HANGED TODA
Guthrie, July 7—A rumor has gained
currency that J. B. Thoburn will be se-
lected secretary of the commercial club
at this place and be given commission to
rejuvenate the lagging organization. Tlie
matter of reorganization of the club on a
more prosperous basis has 1>een agitated
considerably in the last few months and
since Mr. Thoburn is out of the agricul-
tuial secretaryship a great many luve
expressed a wish that he be placed in
charge of the club. It is during Mr.
Thoburn's incumbency as secretary of
the Oklahoma City chamber of commerce
that|the oiganization at that city was
made so strong and it is believed that he
i* the man to infuse new life into the
Guthrie club.
The 13th Annual Session of the Potta-
watomie County Normal Institute will
convene in the High School building in
Tecumseh at 8 o'clock a. in. July 17, and
continue four weeks, with examination
the last Thursday and Friday, August
10th and I lth.
Last vear 138 of the 150 teachers of
the county were enrolled. 150 are ex"
pected to enroll this year. It is now a
settled fact in this couuty that school
boards do not employ teachers whose
names do nolj appear on the Institute
rolls.
The terms of schools are longer and
the salary higher than ever before, and
teachers mutt lose no opportunity to
make themselxes worthy of the confi
dence reposed in them and of the sub-
stantial financial remuneration
they receive.
Owensboro, Ky., July 7—Robert Math
ly was hanged here today for murder
Last night the prisoner attempted to cut
the artery in his left wrist with the finger
nails of his right hand, and he bled con
siderably.
MACCABEES INSTALL.
Odessa, July 7—The Kniaz Potemkiue
still occupies the center of the stage here.
The authorities are well informed about
her movements land her various opera-
tions at tlie Black sea ports from the to-
pic of continuous speculation and com-
ment in business and official circles. But
as the opinion prevails here that she will
not return to menace Odessa, tlie Odes
sians view her doings interestedly, but
not coupled with any particular alarm.
The fact that the Kniaz Potemkine is
still at large, cruising in the Black Sea,
threatening ports, holding up steamers
and other crafts, is beginning to bring
criticism upon the naval authorities,
owing to their apparent slowness and
lack of energy in pursuing and termina-
ting her piratical caret r.
The torpedo boats, which it is reported
are trailing the Kniaz Potemkine, have
done nothing, although the whereabouts
of the battleship has never been a secret
The Black sea is so small that she has
never been out of reach of the fleet,
which left here yesterday and which
popularly supposed to lie following the
renegade for the purpose of affecting her
surrender or sinking her. If the fleet is
in earnest it can easily meet that ship
within a comparatively few hours. The
belief is general, however, and there is
general confirmation of it, that the main
difficulty confronting the fleet regarding
the Kniaz Potemkine lies in the fact that
the crews of the ships are strongly dis-
clined to engage the mutinous batteship.
It is reported on good authority that the
crews have refused to attack her.
I11 the meantime commerce on the
Black sea is slowly being resumed, and
coastwise and other steamers are clearing
from Odessa 011 their former schedules.

Attention to Rulings.
Complaints have became so frequent
lately of the patrons of tlie postoffice here

and in some instances the loss of mail
that Inspector Voges, the resident de-
partment official, set about making an
investigation of the matter.
Mr. Voges stationed himself in the
postoffice at intervals and to his surprise
he found that many people after taking
their mail from the boxes failed to close
tlie doors and thereby lock the boxes.

Judge P. O. Cassidy Remem-
bered by Eagle Fraternity.
What proved to be one of Seawuee's
most enjoyable fraternal events during
the season was that of the meeting and
ba iquet at the Eagles aeriejlast night.
* About seventy five members of the
order were present and after the neces-
sary business hours had been consumed
they enjoyed a royal feast.
This eating of good things however
was supplimented by a social rift that
put everybody in good fraternal tune,
and that was the presentation of an
quisitely silver mounted and) beautifully
carved;Mexico CofTeewood cane.
Judge Cassidy was taken completely
by surprise when the "stick" was sprung
ou him, but as a true sou of Ireland who
alwayB did and always will glory in
carrying and wielding of a stick of
whatever kind, the Judge in his response
to the presentation speech did the sub-
ject ample justice, running 111 a few of
his new and old and much enjoyed
humorous stories.
The inscription on the silver knob of
the cane is: "Presented^ P. O. Cassidy

LOST HIS DOG.
Dr. McGeo Offers $1,000,000
For the Return of "Rags."
Of all the disturbed people in Shawnee
none are seen to exhibit so much distress
as does Dr. McGee the well known phy-
sician and it is all 011 account of the loss
of his little long haired Scotch Terrier
which disappeared from the McGee domi-
cile on the night of July 4.
Dr. McGee is not usually a sentimental
man but the loss of 'Rags" his only dog
and a most faithful friend, stirred him
up as to cause him to call a reporter for
Thk News-Dispatch and offer a reward
of $1,000,000 for the safe return of the
dog which he describes as being black in
color with a faint tinge of sandy hair.
Anyone knowing the whereabouts of this
dog can clean up a nice bunch of money
by bringing tlie canine in.
Dot Bell died today at a rooming house
011 South Broadway from morphine pois-
oning, her death occurring about 1.30.
She took the poison Thursday evening
aud all efforts to revive her were fruitless.
The woman, who was young, apparently
about 23 years old, had been an inmate
of various resorts here for some time,
and was known under the above name.
She had trouble over love affairs, and
that is believed to have been the motive
for her suicide. Fleming & Brown took
the remains in charge aud Coroner Flem-
ing will determine whether to hold an

Heavy Rains at and Near
Reno This Morning.
El Reuo,"Julyj—Heavy rains visited
this section this morning and did con-
siderable damage. On the Rock Island
lines in all directions, especially to-the
east, the water was high enough to cover
the tracks, and it is stated today that
some washing out occurred there. The
crops were damaged to some extent.
Cooler.
The sky was clouded at ddybreak to-
day and at 8 30, a light rain fell, followed
at intervals during tlie day by other
showers, none of them of any conse-
quence. The rain has cooled the air con-
siderably and a coat was almost a neces-
sity at times to keep comfortable.

St. Petersburg, July 7, 3:35 p. m.—The
Kntfiz Potemkine, the rebel ship of the
Black Sea, commanded by the mutinous
captain and crew, was reported blown up
this afternoon off Ttieodosia, by a tor-
pedo boat. The report is not confirmed
but it is believed here.
Theodosia, European Russia, July 7—
The Kuaiz Potemkiue, learning that
Russia's black Sea fleet was enroute to
this port, seized a British collier from
which the necessary coal to handle the
battleship was taken, aud the Potemkine
then steamed out to sea. Several hours
later the Black Sea fleet arrived here and
immediately set out in hat pursuit. Re-
ports have it that the Potemkine waf
sunk but the report is not believed.
Was Misquoted
Editor of The News-Dispatch:
Sir:—I see by your report iu yester-
day's issue of your paper that Mayor
Aydelotte stated to the members of the
city council at tlieir meeting Wednesday
night that I had said to him that I
would resign my position as city seav-
e lger on July 1. If I made that state-
ment to the mayor at any time I have no
recollection of it at this time. I did,
however, say to Mayor Aydelotte that
unless I was given a sanitary policeman
who would diligently and faithfully per-
form his duties ami provide a means by
which I would be able to give the best
service possible.
I have never refused to respond to any
proper call where my official obligation
would necessarily lead me and I feel
that the cancelation of my contract with
the city without a recommendation by
the members of the sanitary committee
is a piece of gross injustice.
I intend and now serve notice on all
concerned that I will from this date take
contract for and do any and all kinds of
scavenger work for the people of the
city. John Casmos.
