cording to adtlces received today

was turned toward him. Farrall had
asked him to go to the station to
talk over some trouble he had been
having with his wife, and preceded

and sentenced to life lmprlsonmeut.

from the McAlester penitentiary,

much liberty. The state has a stand-

Toklo, Marih 3.—It 1b officially an
nounced here that the treaty with

bonds of friendship between the two
countries as never before.
. It seems as If almost everybody
could bake an apple so that it would
be nice eating; but here is a way
that is extra good: With a narrow-
bladed knife take out the core, fill
the hole with sugar. Bet the apple
Into the oven In a dish that will hold
water and keep plenty of water
around It until It is soft, and It will
be flt for anybody to eat, farmer or
king.

Washington, D. C., March 3.—After
practically an all-night session,
marked by acrimonious debate,
wrangling, Ill-feeling and filibuster-
ing by Democrats against the post-
office appropriation and tariff board
bills, and a sensational clash between
Vlce-Prcsident Sherman and Senator
Stone over a question of personal
voracity, the Benate adjourned until
10 o'clock this morning.
Practically nothing was accom-
plished except at 3 o'clock this morn-
ing, when the members agreed to
vote on the tariff board bill tomor-
row morning.
The delay is in great contrast with
the rapid manner In which the senate
started passing bills yesterday after-
noon.
Many conferences wore held dur-
ing the night and availed little, but
tho leaders agreed to leave the reci-
procity bill unconsidered and put the
responsibility of an extra session up-
on President Taft. Tho senate will
try to dispose of everything else.
Vlce-Preeident Sherman ruled that
Senator Stone could not speak again
on it. The clerk's notes were read
legislative day. Just before adjourn-
ment, Stone said he hadn't spoken
ont. The clerk's notes were read
and the vice-president insisted that
they upheld him. Stone objected
and was immediately ruled out of
order. He protested the ruling was
unjust and arbitrary, and shook his
fist over his head, then withdrew his
objection.
The postofTlce, tariff,, and naval
bills occupied all the time of the
senate.
Vice-President Sherman and Sena-
tor Stone later retired, arm In arm,
and settled their differences amicably.
After peeling apples drop them In-
to cold water. This will prevent
their becoming discolored.

AS EXPECTED
Oklahoma City, March 3.—Effects
of the long drouth on the winter
wheat crop in Oklahoma will be
widespread, but less serious than
feared, according to the monthly re-
port of the State Board of Agricul-
ture. Alfalfa stands the drouth well.
Mild weather has been beneflcient to
the live Btock, though a somewhat
smaller number of cattle and hogs
are on hand than last year at this
time.
According to the reports of 331
crop correspondents, the condition of
winter wheat Feb. 25 was 49.- per
cent for the same time In 1910. The
report came so soon after the gen-
eral rains that correspondents had
insufficient time to estimate the bene-
fit
According to the returns from 76
counties, the farmers have on band
27.7 per cent of the 90,000,000-bushel
corn crop, 16.1 per cent of the 22,-
000,000-bushel wheat crop and 39.6
per cent of the 20,000,000-bushel oats
crop and 1% per cent of the 926,000
bale cotton crop produced last year.
The board submits that its report
shows promising outlook for the crop
season and general farm conditions
The individual reports are unanimous
in declaring the present condition to
be conducive to rapid advancement
of all farm work.

OVERCAME GUARD
-Port Smith, Ark., March 3.—Felling
a guard with a blow from his fist,
Mack Johnson, confined in the county
infirmary as insane, and convicted
of killing his wife, a year ago, es-
caped from the hospital Wednesday
night.
Jqjinson had been held prisoner in
the hospital ever since he tried to
butt out his brains in the county
jail months ago. He was under sen-
tence of death. Owing to the
fact that his wrists were larger than
his hands, he could not be hand-
cuffed. Iron rings last week were
riveted to his legs and held in place
by chains which were lodged in a
cement floor. In some manner John-
son broke the chains.
A reward of $100 was offered by
Superintendent Branden for his cap-
ture. Johnson is the second mur-
derer who has escaped from the in-
stitution in a month. Recently Frank
Brown, who killed a man and later
was adjudged insane, escaped.
