RATHBURN ARRESTED FOR
KILLING GEORGE BECK
NEAR HOMINY.
GIVE HIMSELF UP AFTER THE
Rathburn Claims Self-Defense—The
Two Men Quarreled Over Hogs—
Has Resided In Big Pasture
Since October.
LAWTON: On a farm near Hulen,
Deputy United States Marshal Tom
Walker and Special Officer Grimes
an-eated Lon Rathhurn who Ik charg-
ed with killing George Beck near
Hominy, in the Osage nati n, last Oc-
tober. He was brought before United
States Commissioner Hlanding and
given a preliminary hearing, during
which he confessed to the killing, but
claimed welf-defense. Officers will
take him back to Pawnee.
Rathburn and Hock tiuarreled over
the trespassing of hogs that belonged
to Beck which Rathburn alleged were
damaging his crops. Beck refused to
keep the hi gs in pen and Rathburn
penned them on his own farm. Beck
came over with a gun and Rnuiburn
«hot him. Rathburn went to Pawnee
and gave himself ove# to the federal
authorities, but was released on the
ground that no complaint was made
against him. Shortly afterward he
came to the Big Pasture and has re-
sided In this vicinity since.
PAYNE COUNT! SHUT OFF
FARMERS FOUGHT ERADICATION
OF FEVER TICK AND WERE
CUT OFF.
GUTHRIE: The live stock sani-
tary board of Oklahoma, in special
session, took final action in estab-
lishing a quarantine line between
Payne county and tho o unties of IjO-
gan and Noble, thus shutting Payne
county off entirely from any inspec-
tion privileges whatever. An order
was adopted by the board two weeks
ago, placing the county below 'the
territorial quarantine lino because of
the combined organization within the
county to fight fever tick eradica-
tl n.
This flnnl action was taken by the
board, however, upon receipt of a com-
munication from Dr. Leslie J. Allen,
In charge of the federal live stock
bureau In Oklahoma, slating that he
had cut off the federal inspection of
cattle from Payne county for inter-
state shipments and that unless the
territorial quarantine line was estab*
llshed immediately between Payne1
and tho counties of Logan and Noble,
It would be necessary to withdraw
federal Inspection also from these two
counties. •

Children Needed in Cotton Fields
OKLAHOMA CITY: Scores of
echo Is In the southern part of Okla-
homa will not be opened until Octo-
ber 15 In order that the children may
assist in picking the big cotton crop.
Children make as good hands at pick-
ing cotton as the average adult.
School teachers in both territories
have found that It' schools are rpened
early the attendance is very light ow-
ing to the fact that parents are com-
pelled to keep their children out of
school to pick cotton or allow their
crop to waste In the fields us labor-
ers for that purpose are very scarce.
Oklahoma Fanners' union recently
voted to hold the crop for 15 cents.
BODY OF UNKNOWN FOUND
SKELETON OF MAN FOUND FROM
WHICH COYOTES HAD TORN
THE FLESH
CHATTANOOGA: The decayed re-
mains of an unknown man were found
four miles scuth of here by a party
of hunters. All flesh Is gone from the
bones and. coyotes appear to have torn
the skeleton to pieces. The skull gives
evidence of having been struck by a
heavy weapon and is partially crush-
ed. The victim wore a hunting suit,
was about six feet high, and was prob-
ably 40 years old. A letter found near
by In his coat, may lead to his iden-
tity.
Sheriff Hammonds and County At-
torney Cunningham arrived from Law-
ton and a thorough investigation was
made, Justice of the Peace Macy ren-
dering a verdict upon inquest that
the man had come to his death by
murder committed by unknown hands.
A stranger, whose age and size com-i
pare with those of this man, regis-
tered at a hotel here about a month
ago, and next day disappeared,, leav-
ing his hand grip in the hotel. This
gives the authorities a further clue to
work on.
The remains will be burled in Law-
ton.
Political Review
Cotton Picking Demands Attention.
GUTHRIE: Crtton buyers and gln-
ners throughout the two territories
are making extensive preparations to
handle the crop, the first of which
will be marketed within the next ten
days. The cotton crop is la excellent
condition and will yield from one half
to one bale per acre.
Some trouble Is expected this year,
as has been the case in previous
years, in securing c tton pickers. The
growers will import as many men as
possible from the north to pick the
Oklahoma crop, and a movement has
been started to secure Japanese in
some sections of the territories.

TULSA: The city council after a
heated session has decided to make an

town Saturday by G. Fields, living
seven miles southeast of Pauls Val-
ley. The cotton was straight mid-
dling quality and was bid in by C. S.

Moty Tiger Will Succeed Porter
Chief of the Creeks—Porter
Leaves an Estate Valued
at $100,000.
VINITA: General Pleasant Porter,
the noted chief of the Creek Indian
nation, died here Tuesday morning,
following a stroke of paralysis, aged
67 years. Second Chief Mcty Tiger
will succeed General Porter as chief
of the nation. ,
MUSKOGEE: Pleasant Porter,
chief of the Creeks, who died Tues-
day morning at Vinita, left his home
in Muskogee for Crocker, Mo., where
he w-as a defendant In a damage suit
for $30,000 brought by A. P. Murphy,
former member of congress from the
Sixteenth district, because ho dis-
missed Murphy who had a contract as
national counsel for the Creeks.
lie was stricken on the train and
taken off at Vinita. A special train
run from Muskogee to Wealaka, the
country home of the dead chief, where
the chief was Interred beside members
of his family who have gone before
The' funeral was under the direction
of the Masons and Elks, Chief Porter
being a member of both orders.
Chief Porter was a remarkable man.
He was born and reared in the Creek
nation near Coweta. During the civil
war he espoused the cause of the Con-
federacy, enlisted as a private and
rose to the rank of general.
When the war was over he returned
to his home. All was desolation.
Everything had been devastated in
his absence. He commenced all over
again. He fenced and improved his
present farm at Wealaka and com-
menced to till the land. He stood for
progress in his nation always and it
was due almost entirely to him that
the Creek school system was estab-
lished. He was elected a member of
the House of Kings as soon as he
was old enough to become a member.
In 1889 he was elected principal chief
and re-elected in 1903.
Chief Porter was a well known fig-
ure in Washington. An intimate
friend of President McKinley, ad-
mired by Preesldent Rccsevelt and
referred to on the floor of the senate
as the "greatest living Indian," by
members in debate—"the peer of any
man here"—he acquired national Ac-
quaintance and influence.
As chief of the Creeks he drew
$2,000 a year salary, and spent more
than that amount on the needy of his
people. In late years he became
wealthy. A week ago in discussing
his financial affairs he said that he
believed his. estate would be worth
$100,000 clear of all settlements. This
estate will go to his three children,
Will Porter. Mrs. Jay P. Farnsworth
and Miss Leonore Porter.
Chief Porter was a nephew of ex-
Governor McCurtain, the war gov-
ernor of Pennsylvania. His mother
was a daughter of Chief Okmulgee.
His wife was a daughter of Judge
Kevs of St. Louis.
Moty Tiger, a full blord Creek In-
dian, was elected second chief of the
Creeks at the time Porter was elected
chief. He succeeds to the of ice of
principal chief. He assumed charge
of the executive office Tuesday
and immediately closed it until the
funeral ceremonies were over. He
is a man of considerable force of
character but lacks the culture of the
dead chief.
While General Porter educated him-
self, he was ne of the most widely
read men of Indian Territory and was
a thinker and philosopher. During
his public life he has made many
oratorical efforts that were classic in
the pathetic realization of his dying
race.
A WORD WITH DEMOCRATS
There is no little genuine sympathy
for many democrats who honestly be-
lieve In democratic principles, and do
not want to v;te against their party,
and yet who are disgusted with the
character of their candidate for gov-
ernor, and with some others on the
ticket foisted upon them. There are
many such democrats good solid bus-
iness men, who want statehood and
•in opportunity to develop the re-
sources of the state. These men
know in the first place that Mr. Has-
kell did not honestly gain the nom-
ination. They know that even accept-
ing the padded returns, he was net
the choice of a majority of their "party.
They knew before the primary from
their own peers that he was an unfit
man and they have learned since that
he is not only unlit but unsafe, and
that the election of such a man would
be a reproach to the state. These
honest, worthy democrats are doing
much hard thinking. They do m:t
want to leave their party, but they
do want to see Mr. Haskell and others
on the ticket defeated. Had a man
like Crnoe ben the candidate, they
could hove been enthusiastic over the
out look from their standpoint, but
they have made up their minds not to
vote for Haskell, and many will go
still farther and vote for Frantz. But
they do not want Haskell's constitii'
tion. They wanut a people's constl
tution, one under the provisions of
which they can invite capita land la.
bor into the state with the promise
of fair play and equitable transac
tions.
They know that the present con
stltuUrn must be amended or state
hood will be a farce, a simple mearis
of rake-off for Haskell, Murray & Co
So these good, honest democratic bus
iness men, and farmers, are wonder-
ing how to vote for members of the
legislature. They know that enly
through a republican legislature can
the constitution be amended so as to
make it Just to those already here and
fair to those who would come here.
Again, these good solid democrats are
reluctant to leave their party. What
are they t do? Party regularity is
a fetich with many, especially with
older democrats. On the other hand,
are the questions of property, of tax-
ation, of schools, of increased busi-
ness, of legal matters, and homes and
firesides. To these men it Is all a
perplexing question.
But this can be said: In many a
national and state campaign, men
have temp'rarily left their party for
the sake of good citizenship, and
good government. , Republicans left
their party in Ohio In 1905, republi-
cans left their party in Massachusetts
In 1904, republicans have left their

he said In that memorable speech,
which he Is not saying naw:
The trouble with tho democratic
party is that it is a party of states-

ers without?labor and free mon with-

I will quit the stump retire from the
canvass return to Mississippi and
never raise my voice again against
the democratic party. The Fifty-sec-
ond congress was elected on its prom-
ise of economy, the passage of the
free silver bill, ant} the repeal of the
McKinley bill. The first session ex-
ceeded the republican expenditures by
$1,000,000, and the second exceeded it
$40,000,000. A republican senate pass-
ed the free coinage bill, and a demo-
cratic congress killed it.
"The republican party stands for
principle, though that principle he
wrong, and It will always fight you
in the open, but the democratic party,
Judas lL:e, will kiss and betray. The
democrats murdered the free coin-
age bill, it was murdered In the
house by its supposed friends. In the
matter of the repeal of the McKinley
bill 125 protected articles the demo-
crats placed three on the free list—
wool, indigo and hides."
Has the democratic party changed
Its tactics of fighting in the dark, or
of "kissing and betraying" since Mr.
Gore became its candidate for sena-
tor? Do not the republicans still

The Public Should Have Them Trans

What virtue Is there in the seorecy
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
lectlvely."
Among the things that "is best f r
the doctor" Is the writing of his pre-
scriptions in Latin, and thus keeping
the public in ignoranee not only at
what It is taking for its ills, but forc-
ing a call upon tho doctor each thne
a prescription is needed.
In plain and unmistakable English
the 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 know#
what he has given you for the disease,
and so each time you are foredd to gt
to him again and give him an oppor
tunlty to repeat his prescription—in
Latin, and his fee—In dollars.
If you ask the doctor why he uses
Latin in writing his prescriptions, wtiy
he writes "aqua" when he means w&
ter, he will give you a technical dis
sertation on the purity of the Latta
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 tho puk
11c 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 indivlduaL
You call In the physician when you

the other ills to which human flesh is
