E. L. Woodson, president and pro-
moter of the bank, is said lo have
gone without leaving his address,
while the stockholders have nothing
tangible upon which to realize the
money that they aid in to the Institu-
tion.
The bank had been leading a pre-
enrious existence for some time'and
In -luly President Woodson called a
meeting of the directors and stock
holders and told them that more
money would have to be put up or
the bank would have to go out of bus
iness; that there was enough money
on hand to pay depositors in full, but
no more. The stockholders have
found that all that Is left for them is
about $1,700 worth of notes, most
of Ihem worthless, which Woodson
left In the hands of O. B. Clevenger
for collection with instructions to
turn the money over to Woodson. It
Is further alleged that Woodson hnd
arranged to sell the bank fixtures
to parties In Kansas City for $500,
but some of the stockholders got
wind of it and stopped the sale. No
one seems to know where Woodson
Is.
Both Cars Are Runnington Forty Miles

Escape Death or
Injury.
CHARLESTON, ILL.: Sixteen per-
sons were killed outright, four others
injured so seriously that they died in
hospitals shortly after being removed
there and two score hurt In a wreck
at noon Friday on the Mattoon-
Charleston Interurban line a mile west
of Charleston. Many others of those
Injured are expected to die.
A long interurban car and trailer,
crowded with passengers bound for
til? Coles county fair, crashed head-
on Into an express car hound west on
a heavy grade. The impact of the
collision was terrific, as both cars
were running at nearly forty miles an
hour, and all three of them were prac-
tically reduced to kindling wood.
There were ninety-nine persons on
the east hound car and trailer and a
majority of them were either killed or
injured.
The crash of the collision was fol-
lowed by screams of the dying, which
attracted the attention of farmers
working in the fields nearby and they
came to the rescue. Superhuman
strength seemed to he theirs, as they
lifted the broken timbers from the
injured.

telegraphers' strike is no
nearer solution than
when inaugurated.
NEW YORK: The prospects of a
mutual satisfactory settlement of the
telegraphers' strike appears to be no
more promising today than they were
a week ago. The officials of the West-
ern Union reiterated the statement
that they will not treat with labor or-
ganizations under any circumstances.
The strike leaders declare tlitt none
ot their hopes are based upon arbi-
tration. They have accepted as a
final expression of the company of-
ficials they say, and are prepared
to prolong the strike until the next
session of congress, if necessary. "We
are going to keep uy the struggle un-
til the business Interests of the coun-
try force c tigress to act," said Presi-
dent Small of the Telegraphers'
Union. "We will be able to hold on
until the next session of congress. I
do not believe the telegraph compa-
nies can hold out much longer."

made moro evident lato Saturday
night by the wreck of south-bound
Frisco mail train No. 511, near Beggs,
I. T., 25 miles south of this place.
Running slow on a danger signal,
the train plunged through a burning
bridge over Flat Rock creek. The en-
gine, combination mail and express
car, and one coach rolled into the
water.
The two cars burned with their con-
tents of mail, baggage and express,
including $1,500 in paper money. The
engine was totally demolished.
The engineer and fireman on sight-
ing the burning trestle, jumped, but
not until the engineer had closed the
throttle and applied the air, bringing
the train almost to a standstill. The
only injured were Denison, Tex., mail
clerks, who sustained severe bruises
and sprain. McDowell was brought
home today, and Anderson was taken
to his home in Denison.

Telegraphers' Fight in Oklahoma.
GUTHRIE: Attorney General Crom-
well stated that he may bring action
against the Western Union and P stal
Telegraph companies to revoke their
licenses in Oklahoma upon complaint
of the Telegraphers' Union at Okla-
homa City which has submitted to him
a letter charging that the companies
are failing to discharge their duties
as common carriers in transmitting
messages in offices throughout both
territories.
This is a part of a national move-
ment by the striking operators to
bring action in the various states.
Members of the union are gathering
up affidavits seeking to prove that
the companies are refusing to handle
business offered them. The attorney
general will not lane action, however,
unless sufficient evidence be submit-
ted to him that the companies are
turning down business.

BELIEVES IT IS COINS
UNITED STATES MARSHAL ABER-
NATHY SAYS GOVERNMENT
WANTS NOTED OUTLAW.
GUTHRIE: John R. Abernathy, the
wolf-catching United States marshal,
stated that he knew nothing of the
capture of lien Cravens, the outlaw,
at Osceola. Nib., excepting what he
had read in the newspapers. He rath-
er believes, however, that the man
under arrest is Cravens.
It is Abernatby's opinion that if
Cravens Is under arrest he must be
returned first to the Kansas peni-
tentiary at Lansing for escaping fron.
lhat prison seven years ago. After
the Kansas prison authorities are
through w ith him then Oklahoma may-
get him for a brace of murders and
other crimes. Mr. Abernathy also be-
lieves It possible that the Kansas
pris n people would turn Cravens over
to the government to stand trial for
the murder of Alvin Itateman at Red
Rock. Okla.. and that of Deputy
Sheriff Johnson in Pawnee county.

Predicts Good Yield of Corn
GUTHRIE: Prior to starting on
a trip organizing farmers' institutes
in Indian Territory Secretary C. A.
McNoble of tho Oklahoma board ot
agriculture stated that the Oklahoma
ccrn crop shows a candition at tho
present time of S5 per cent and ho
looks for a mammoth yield. The pro
longed hot weather, he believes, has
not injured tho crop to a great extent,
and the acreago is far larger thaD

ly ill and it is understood that on
account of his illness all efforts to

FIND TWO OEAO BODIES
NDICATIONS POINT TO MURDER
AND SUICIDE—BODIES OF
MAN AND WOMAN.
RANDLETT: Intense oxcitomont
prevails here over the discovery of
the dead bodies of a man and a girl
on Red rivor, six males south o!
town.
The bodies appear to have ncen
dead for ten days and are in such
condition as t> probably be beyond
recognition. They were discovered in
a clump of heavy underbrush and
might have been washed down the
river.
Indications point to a murder and
a suicide. A ball appears to liavo
penetrated the woman's heart and
the man's skull bears the mark of a
bullet. The bodies are undoubtedly
those of young people and indications
point to a mystery that may never be
solved.
Last Sun Dance of Cheyennes
EL RENO: The last Sun dance
of the Cheyenne nnd Arapahoes is
now on at I he home of Chief Left
Hand, twenty miles west of El Reno
The dnnce will be participated in by-
all the members of the tribes living
in Oklahoma. Great preparations ar« j
being made for the dance and the
squaws have been busy for the last
two months stitching beads and mak
ing moccasins. War bonnets that '
have hung idle In tho wigwams for j
twenty years will again be used in :
celebrating the Black Hawk victories.'
Manager Saw the Possibilities in th#
Situation.
Jim Johnstone, the famous base-
ball umpire, said recently in New
York that baseball crowds were far
kinder to umpires than they used
to be.
"This is true of theater crowds,
too," said Mr. Johnstone. "Why, with
provincial touring companies in tho
past, maltreatment was regularly ex-
pected. In fact, the companies prof-
ited by it in more ways than ono.
"I know of a company that was
playing 'The Broken Vow' in Paint
Rock, a ono night stand. The audi-
ence didn't like 'The Broken Vow,' and
eggs, cabbages and potatoes rained
po.t the stage.
' c?;iil the play went on. Tho hero
raved through Ills endless speeches,
dodging an onion or a baseball every
other minute, and pretty sore from
those missiles that he hadn't been
able to dodge.
"But finally a gallery auditor iu a
paroxysm of rage and scorn hurled a
heavy boot, and the actor, thoroughly
alarmed, started to retreat.
" 'Keep on playing, j;ou fool.' hissed
the manager from the wings, as ho
hooked in the boot with an umbrella.
'Keep on till we get the other one.' "
PRESCRIPTIONS IN LATIN.
The Public Should Have Them Trans-
lated by the Druggists.
What virtue is there in the secrecy
with which the doctor hedges about
his profession?
"Professional etiquette" occupies a
prominent place In the curriculum of
every medical school, and when strict-
ly analyzed "professional etiquette"
seems to mean "doing what is best for
the doctor, individually and col-
lectively."
Among the things that "is best for
the doctor" is the writing of his pre-
scriptions in Latin, and thus keeping
the public in ignorance not only of
what it is taking for its ills, but forc-
ing a call upon the docti r each time
a proscription is needed.
In plain and unmistakable English
tho writing of prescriptions in Latin
makes business for the doctors.
Let us say that you have the ague
You had it last year and the year be-
fore. Each time you have visited the
doctor and-he has prescribed for you
—in Latin. You have never known
what he has given you for the disease.
| and so each time you are forced to go
to him again and give him an oppor-
tunity to repeat his prescription—in
j Latin, and his fee—in dollars.
I If you ask the doctor why he uses
j Latin in writing Ills prescriptions, why
he writes "aqua" when he means wa-
ter, he will give you a technical dis-
sertation on the purity of the Latin
language, and the fact that all words
are derived from it, etc. It will be a
dissertation that,you may not be able
to answer, but it will hardly convince
you.
It would be a good thing for the pub-
lic to devise a little code of ethics of
Its own; ethics that will be "a good
thing for the public individually and
collectively."
Let us apply one of the rules of this
code of ethics to you, the individual.
You call in the physician when you
have the ague, the grippe, or any ot
the other ills to which human flesh is
heir, and which you may have again
some day. The doctor prescribes—In
Latin, and you take this, to you, mean-
ingless scribble to the druggist to
have it compounded. Right here is
where you come In, if you are wise.
Say to the druggist that you want a
translation of that prescription. It is
your privilege to know what you are
taking. While the doctor's code of
ethics may not recognize this right it
is yours just the same.
With the translated prescription in
your possession you have two distinct
advantages. You know what you are
taking, and should you wish to call
some other doctor at some time you
will be able to tell him what drugs you
have been putting into your system,
and also if you should have the same
disease again you can save yourself
a visit to the doctor, and his fee, by
taking this translated prescription to
the druggist once more and having it
refilled.
She Experimented.
A little girl of five was taken tc
church one Sunday, and listened witt
unexpected attention lo the sermon
which graphically told the story ol
the stilling of the tempest on the Sea
of Galilee, and how Christ walked on
the waves. In the afternoon her moth-
er missed her and began an anxious
search of the house. As she noared
the bathroom she heard sounds ol
splashing, and hurried to the door tc
behold a small, excited face peering
over the rim of the big white tub, and
to hear a small, excited voice ex
claim: "Say, mamma, tills walking
on the water is quite a trick."
Would Make Rich Crop.
It is estimated that 21,000,000 acres
are available for rice growing in
Louisiana and Texas, and tho value
of such crop would be $100,000,000.
This would make the rice crop fifth
in point of value among tho cereals of
tills country.
Burglar's Pathetic V/ail.
A burglar arrested In London the
