A Big Stock of Direct

Which are absolutely the best stoves made of this type. They are
made of the very best material and the burner is constructed in a
way to give the most perfect combustion possible in this kind of a
stove, [but as the most of our customers are buying and using the
Reznor StoveJ we are making special prices and terms in order
to reduce our stock of Direct Actions.^ Let us show you.

One of the earliest "scoops" of Win.
E. Curtis, the journalist who died
recently in Philadelphia, was that of
getting an Interview with the James
hoys while they were in the midst of
their war with the authorities says
the Miami Republican.
While detectives were trying to find
the desperadoes, Curtis, then a re-
porter for a Chicago paper, went out
War College at Washington made an
investigation of the destructiveness
of war. Taking all the wars of the
world from the Russo-Jap war back
to 500 B. C., the War College found
that the total number of killed and
wounded in battle amounts to about
2,800,000. The comparative figures
show the appalling fact that alcohol
Is killing as many Americans every
year as all wars of the world have

and calmly announced he had come
for an interview with the bandits
"We know what you're here for.
You're a spy," was the reply of Jesse
James. "What's more, you won't get
away from here."
But the aggressive reporter was
not to have his cherished scoop thus
spoiled until too old to be of use to
his paper. Ho refused to be a pris
oner. He talked to the James boys
about his trip out there to see them
so that he might put the truth about
them before the public, and finally
convinced them he was there for the
purpose be gave.
"Well, I'm going to give you any-
thing you want, Just to satisfy you,"
Jesse James finally said.
And he did. He gave Curtis the
/most vivid interview anybody ever
had from him. Accomplishing his
purpose, Curtis returned to the near-
| est telegraph station and sent his
'scoop to his paper.
1 But he kept fai':j with the men
I who had taken him at his word. He
did not reveal any of the secrets of
the rendezvous of the desperadoes,
and he did not tell the detectives,
who were searching for them, where
their hiding place was.

"THE WOLF" AT THE BECKER.
Jones & Crane, on next Monday,
Nov. 13, at the Becker Theater, will
offer "The Wolf." One of the many
striking features in the play is the
finale of the last act, which Is played
on a dark stage with the moon hid-
den behind dense clouds. The fight
not seen by the audience, but the
exchange of defiance, the pistol shot
and the scuffle, with the sound of
the falling body at last, are heard,
uu until the winner in the fight re-
veals his face by the light of a
match with which he is calmly light-
ing a cigarette, the audience is in
doubt as to the outcome. Sale of
between the two star characters Is j seats opens next Saturday, Nov. 11.
| The Shawnee Gas and iilectric Co.
j is preparing one of the most brilliant
and beautiful electrical effects in the
State. The subject is the Potta-
watomie Building at the corner of
Maiu and Broadway. On each of the
pillars, between the first and second
stories, will be a brilliant block
light, and the lower edge of the
cornice will be outlined with border
lights 18 inches apart entirely around
the east and west sides of the build-
ing. The lights are being Installed
today.
Some of the declaration of princi-
ples of the Women's Christian Tem-
perance Union are as follows:
We believe in the coming of His
kingdom, whose service is perfect
freedom, because His laws, written
in our members as well as in nature
and in grace, are perfect, converting
the soul.
We believe in the gospel of the
Golden Rule, and that each mail's
habits of life should be an example
safe and benlficent for every other
man to follow.
We believe that God created both
man and woman in His own image,
and therefore we believe in one
standard of purity for both men and
women, and in the equal right of all
to hold opinions and to express the
same with equal freedom.
We believe In a living wage, In an
eight-hour day, in courts of concilia-
tion and arbitration, in justice as op-
posed to greed or gain, in peace on
earth and good-will toward men.
At the final meeting for corrections
on ballot returns before governor and
council, 708 votes were shown In
fav
plied to the whole white race, wo
find that alcohol is killing 3,500,000
white men every year—five times as
many aB have been killed In war in
2,500,000 years, so that, stated arith-
metically, alcohol is ten times more
destructive than all wars combined
A press dispatch says: "Seveftty-
four women are now holding office
In KansaB, and they do not loaf
around the corner drug store, smok-
ing and chewing tobacco, neither do
they play cards and gamble during
office hours.

If all the so-called sympathizers
with the cause of temperance were
to arouse from their slumbers and
go to work to secune legislation pro-
hibiting the liquor traffic and insist
on Its enforcement, the liquor in-
terests would soon find themselves
out of business. What this country
needs at the present time is the con-
version of all the lukewarm sympa-
thizers into fervid, earnest, aggres-
sive, uncompromising agitation, and
educators of prohibition principles
who shall secure legislation doing
away forever with the abominable
liquor business.

You Will Beap What You Sow.
Be careful what you sow, boys:
For seed will surely grow, boys.
The dew will fall, the rain will
splash,
The clouds wl'l darken and sunshine
flash,
And the boy who sows good seed to-
day
Will reap the crop tomorrow.

Since the last heroic campaign In
Texas, the men of that State have
come to look upon the temperance
women there with added respect and
admiration. This is true, not only of
men In the ranks of the temperance
forces, but also of those antagonistic
to the cause No greater compliment
has been paid to the valuable services
given by women than that uttered by
Jacob Wolters, one of the leading
men of the pro-liquor forces, in a
speech made before tho legislative in-
vestigation committee. It was to the
effect that voters at the last election
were Intimidated by white ribboners,
and contained the suggestion that
laws restraining them from taking
part on election day should be
enacted. Could there be more con
vlncing proof that the courageous
workers of the W. C. T. U. have
come to be a power which the forces
of evil realize they must reckon with

H. M. Serley, principal of the Iowa
State Normal School, has the follow
ing to say with regard to the tobacco
habit and its effects upon school
work: "After making a study of
several hundred boys running through
a period of ten years, I give only
positive facts and neither assume the
conditions nor jump at fore-ordained
conclusions. Boys that begin the
habit at an early age are stunted
physically and never arrive at normal
bodily development. Accompanied
with, the use of the narcotic were
certain disordered physical functions,
such as Indigestion, Impaired taste,
defective eyesight, dull hearing, ner
vous affections and diseases of the
heart. I have not found a «inele
case of early addiction to the habit
of tobacco using that did not suffer
with one or more of these direful,
abnormal conditions. Tobacco, used
in any form, destroys the ability to
apply one's self to study and pre-
vents his Comprehending or remem-
bering his lesson. I have never had
one whose scholarship record was
good, and In almost every case the
deportment was below tho average
standard."

Corporation Commissioner George
A. Henshaw has advised Chairman
Love by wire from Washington that
the Oklahoma Commisson has been
successful in gettlug authority from
the Interstate Commerce Commission
directed to the Fort Smith and
Western Railroad Co. for a refund of
$300 for Fred Browne of Crowder,
Okla.
This claim arose from a shipment
of staves from Crowder to various in-
terstate points, made over the Fort
Smith and Western, by Mr. Browne
three years ago. The claim was a
matter of correspondence with the
railroad company for two years and
a half before it was referred to the
Oklahoma Commission, and the re-
quest of the railway company for
authority to make refund was re-
fused by the Interstate Commission
on the ground that too much time
had elapsed between the collection of
the charges and the request for the
refund. The Oklahoma Commission
succeeded in getting the case re-
opened in behalf of the shipper and
then secured a favorable adjustment.
Commissioner Henshaw took the
matter up while in Washington for 1
the purpose of arguing the case in-
volving rates on live stock and pack-
ing house products in the interest of
the Oklahoma packing industries. The
latter case was argued on November
8, and a decision is looked for by the
end of the year.
