signalled a place kick. No sooner
was the ball snapped than the whole
Central team was through the line
and on the kicker. Stroud has the
honor of blocking the kick
rolled toward Epworjh's goal and
Hamil scooped it up and aided by
splendid interference by Hunt, ran to
Epworth's 20 yard line before being
downed. From this point the ball
was soon rushed across for a touch-
down, Listen carrying it across the
line. Geiser kicked a goal.
Score ti 0. Central kicked off
again and from then on unitl the end
of the half the ball was carried back
and forth between the two goals, nei-
ther side being able to score.
Geiser kicked off for Central at the
beginning of the second half sending
tlie ball to Epworth's goal line. Short
line plunges and end runs put the ball
in Central's territory but when neces-
sary Central stiffened and stubbornly
refused to be pushed further, taking
the ball on her own 15 yard line. An
attempted end run by Geiser resulted
in his being showed over his owe goal
line, resulting in a safety and two
points for Epworth.
Geiser kicked from the twenty-five
yard line and from then on Epworth
could only resort to punting to keep
her goal from being crossed. A dou-1

"The end of the red tape is Ut hand,"
was his sentenious observation.
Mr. Haskell said frankly that he ex-
chair by
You can
be said
There will be little more delay. The
J president lias spoken and you can ex-
j pect nothing else, in my opinion.
"No, I have not had time to think
■ anything about an inauguration. I
have been busy oil other matters
slightly more important. As to that
feature, I am in the hands of my
friends.
■'Do yov want a statement in regard
to that supposed Gore-Haskell-Doyle
deal," he asked.
"Well, there's nothing to it. As
far as I know it is absurb on the face.
Mr. Doyle or any other living man
would not—could not afford to—ac-
cept a nomination of that sort, even
were the legislature and myself dis-
posed to ffgure on Mr. Gore's defeat.
The people have spoken and there is
not the slightest possibility that the
legislature will do aught but follow
their demand."
Mr. Haskell will leave this morning
for Oklahoma City, where he will open
the State Fair. He will then retnrn to
to his hoine in Muskogee.

.Must Suffer Penalty, if Guilty.
"It Paul is found guilty of passing]
a fraudulent check upon the Lyon I
Saddlery company, and has not suf- j
ficient money to pay Iiis fine, he will I
have to go to jail," said County At-1
torney, U. G. Hays, in discussing I
the arrest of Paul Hays, his son, for j
passing a $!) check upon the Lyon
company and receiving $7.til) in cash,
as change, after he had paid a small
indebtedness of $1.40.
"That is the only thing that will
cure him. I have pleaded and insist-
ed that he do better, but to no avail.
He positively refuses to conduct him-
self properly, and he must stand the
consequences."
Paul Hays is 2(1 years old, and since
July has been guilty, according to
Judge Hays, of various tnmsgres- jp
sions. He has caused to be uttered Ijj
various checks, costing his father an p
estimated amount of $200, according H
to his father. On October 1 he gave

Te Stop White Slave Trade.
Washington, I). C., Oct. !>. Secre-
tary of the department of commerce
and laljor and Frank P. Sargent, com-
missionior of immigration, have de-
termined to eliminate the "White
Slave" Traffic from the United States
if possible.
On his recent trip through the north-
western and Pacific coast states, Sec-
retary Straus's attention was direct-
ed to the increasing importation of
women for immoral purposes.
The Japanese and Korean exclusion
league informed him that hundreds of
Japanese women were being brought
to America surreptitiously and held in
practical slavery and sold by the im-
porters.
Secretary Straus ordered a rigid in-
vestigation and it was discovered that
the "White Slave" traffic was far
more wide spread than had been sus-
pected, involving the importation in-
to America not only of Japanese wo-
men, but of women from France, Aus-
tria, Russia and Italy.
It is proposed to have a careful in-
quiry instituted in all of the large cit-
ies. particularly, and a round up of
alien immoral women will he made.

Family Strlckeu with Typoid.
Little Mayburn Whisler is ill of ty-
phoid fever at the home of his grand
parents, Mr. and J. Q. Adamson of
this city. He is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. J. R. Whisler of Watonga.
Mr. and Mrs. Whisler have three
other children and these, a lady ser-
vant employed by Mrs. Whisler in
Watonga, and Willie Whisler, who
visited with his brother in Watonga,
and who brought Mayburn here, is
also, ill of the same disease, at the
home lof his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Win. Whisler, who reside west of this
city. It is thought the disease ows
its origin to contaminated cistern
water.
