Central part of Lincoln County, in the Beautiful
Quapaw Valley and on a gentle slope to the west of
the Santa Fe right-of-way.
The townsite company has set aside a liberal
amount of money to beautify the city and make per-
manent improvements
l.OCA T i () N:
Pamell is iocated 45 miles from Oklahoma City,
12 miies from Chandler, 20 miles from ^Shawnee and
7 miles From Deep Fork, in the center of a rich farm-
ing country which insures its liberal patronage.
The townsite company is composed of business
men who have the future welfare of the town'at heart,
which guarantees its future sucsess.
PLAN OF OPENING:
Tickets will be sold for $25.00 cach, and each
ticket will draw a lot. Absolutely no reservation will
be made extept for school and church purposes. The
Bank of Parnell has put up $500.00 with the treasurer
of the townsite company and will pay thatSamount for
their choice of lots. The selection of this lot will be
made previous to the drawing.
There will be thousands of dollars worth of stock
and farm produce shipped from Parnell this season.
The Santa Fe will be the first of the new roads to run
trains into Lincoln County, which will be in plenty of
time to move this fall's crops.

overwhelming majority and an active

was pussed declaring for resubmission

an adjournment of the convention

At Death's Door— His Brains
Oozing Out.
At midnight, last night, J. M. Har-
rison, a well-known saloon keeper
of this city, was fatally shot by Sam
Higgs, a section hand on the Frisco.
The shooting was done with a Win-
chester rille at a distance of 20 or 25
feet, the ball blowing out or rather,
ploughing a section through the skull
and brain from which the brains con-
tinue to ooze. No hope of recoverj
is entertained.
There had been some words between
Harrison and Riggs a day or two be-
fore, the latter and a man named Rus-
sell having tried to short change Har-
rison's boy at the bar. Riggs and
Kussell tanked up in the evening and
withan unknown third man started out
to shoot up the town. Night watchman
and lias at last succeeded in organiz-

make an effort to break the power of
the smelter trust in Southwest Mis-
souri and Southeastern Kansas.
The new company will include sev-
eral independent smelters in addition
to many producers of ore
"I have tried to organize a co-op-
erative company for a long time and
have just sncceeded in arranging my
plans so the company could be for-
mally launched," sail! Mr Phillipson
at the Hotel Baltimore this morning.
"For years the big smelters have con-
trolled the prices of ore. The small
mine operators have been at the mercy
of the smelters. If you owned a small
mine that was a good producer you
had nothing to say about the price
you received for ore The smelters
fixed that."

from the signal station at this port.
Fort de France, Martinique, Mon-
day, May 20.—Mont Pelee is again in
eruption. Huge inky black clouds
are rolling over Fort de France in
great masses, in which there are pe-
culiar lightning flashes. The inhab-
itants are now Hocking into the great
square of the town. If the demonstra-
tion increases, a panic is imminent.
A heavy surf has been beating on the
shore for the last two hours and an
enormous greyish yellow cloud at a
great height is dimly visible in the
direction of Mont Pelee. The night is
intensely dark and the stars are only
faintly visible.
Fort do France is in no danger from
the volcano, but there is considerable
apprehensions of a panic in the night
time should the greyish yellow cloud
reach here and stones begin to fall.
There are no noise- from the volcano
at present.
Roseau, Island of Dominica, B. W.
I., May 27.—During the whole of last
night ashes from the volcano on the
